Well, decided I couldn't wait for colour e-ink and have ordered a refurbished Kindle (WiFi version, as I'll use the USB to update it) at £67.99 to see what all the fuss is about.
Hopefully it will be ideal for reading technical ebooks. Will be interesting to see how it copes with PDF magazines.
Found it via the HotUkDeals site. Apparently still over 100 left in stock despite it always saying "1 refurbished from £67.99":
Kindle Refurbished £67.99 WIFI or 3G for £98.59 @ amazon warehouse - HotUKDeals
The comprehensive details on the product page is what sold it to me:
Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, Graphite, 6" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
Bag yourself a bank holiday bargain!
Edit: The refurbed WiFi versions are now all sold. Still 999+ 3g versions.
Seeing as they sold over 300 refurbished ones in about 24 hours maybe Amazon should take a leaf out of HP's book and offer the brand new ones at this reduced rate.
