Hardware

-* <strike>An Amazon Kindle [with](http://www.amazon.de/dp/B003DZ1Y8Q) or [without keyboard](http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0051QVF7A). I like the E-Ink display, so please, don't give me a version with an LCD display ;-)</strike> Seems that the DRM (i.e. "copyright protection") sucks with the Kindle :-( Better wait for a more open system.
