My brother's wife (in her 40s) and her mother (in her late 60s or 70s), both of whom read a lot, have been talking about wanting a Kindle since the last upgrade. They've tried them in demos and think they will be extremely convenient for traveling. I will be extremely surprised if they don't buy them for each other for Christmas.
