Kindle

I see on the Amazon Uk website that they are taking orders for the new kindle reader that is priced at £89.00 and does not have a keyboard. Not ever having had a kindle, was wondering what you used the keyboard for and would you miss it if you purchased one without it, as the new price seems a very good deal.

Thanks.

Sorry folks just been reading about the nook and from what I can gather Amazon are going along the same lines and having some sort of keyboard built in the function.

The Kindle comes with two fantastic free dictionaries. I use the keyboard to access them, and don't think I'd fancy using the 5-way controller to pick letters from the screen.
