For me too. One just has to install a programme on one's pc, link in developer mode to the PB, and install with that programme the apps downloaded to the PB. Instructions are very comprehensive. One minute later, I had my kindle library available and have downloaded a couple of books onto the PlayBook.
Just ordered in the Kindle 3 in white (just to be different I guess) it has free 3g + wifi.
Also ordered in the leather case with light and a clip they recommend for the rear of the case as a safety measure should the case open up. It holds the Kindle in place.
I primarily need a good ereader. This fit the bill over the PB as there isn't a need for tethering, etc. Granted it's not fancy but I want to start to read more. The Kindle 3 made for sence for my needs. IMHO, of course.

That's a reasonable decision. Battery life alone can be a selling point. I've taken both the K3 (wifi only) and playbook on a few trips and use them in different scenarios. But on a car camping trip to the Sierra, the pb stayed home and the kindle was the camping/hiking companion.
Good mix. I bought the basic Kindle 3 first, then my wife bought a Kindle Fire (we're both big readers). Then OS2 dropped on 2/21, and the PB was available for the price of the Fire, and my birthday was coming up, so........
The basic Kindle 3 is lighter, but the "experimental" browser is kinda lame. I have a use for both, and am pleased with both. But the PB is my special pet!
does anyone know if there is a way to drag books onto the kindle for playbook? or does it only allow you to view books from the kindle site? for example, if i had a drm free book downloaded, could i put it on kindle for playbook?
