Also, is the kindle app for iphone OK?

I love it. More than the Kindle itself, actually. (Just to provide you with a counterpoint to people who prefer the e-ink.) And the small size of the screen doesn't bother me a whit, and I am a very fast reader.

do you think 2G of data will be enough.

I'm with Tom. I would say that if you're not streaming video over the cell network, 2 GB of data will be plenty.

OK, I'm finally using Flickr in earnest to host and organize family photos.

I'm still organizing and uploading. What's the easiest way to move all photos from a set into another set?

use the organizr. photos can also be in multiple sets. sorry for brevity, but am on a plane that just landed.

Okay, now I'm in the airport and on the laptop. You can use the Batch Organizer to load the contents of a set and then add them all to a new set. You can also view the set, select photos you want to remove, and drag them down to the bottom to remove them from the set.

Thanks Dana!

Yeah, I travel a lot, and sometimes have used up to a gig, but don't normally come close to 2. Usually about 500-700mb. Which is more than the 250mb limit, so... I don't usually stream video, though, other than an occasional cute thing on you tube.

And I love my Kindle for reading. I've done a bit of reading on the phone or iPad, but phone is more "only in a pinch when something happened to the kindle".

Our household easily hits the 14 gig we have allocated, but that's our sole internet access, so it's a somewhat different matter. However, with these plans, at least the overage charges are no longer punitive. It's basically $10 a gig, which I'm fine with.

Whenever I hit limits, it is because I am tethering or sharing my plan across multiple devices.

This is good information- thank you. Since the charges aren't ridiculous if you go over, I think it will be much better to get the smaller plan!
