An electronic book that works?

[Moonliner]

Agreed.

If (and it's a big if) I was to go for a Kindle, it would be primarily for technical books (Ubuntu, Ruby, Windows 7, Eclipse, etc...) along with perhaps a newpaper or two. I would like to be able to carry around a library of technical books.

I think what would really sell me would be if Amazon had the option to bundle the print and electronic copy of a book at a reasonable price point. That way I could fulfill my desire for instant gratification downloads with long term stability of paper.
