Ok, I have one and I LOVE it. Friends who have seen it had to get one too. I use it for novels and my Bible. A friend gets his WSJ delivered to it every day. To try it is to love it. It makes book buying soooo easy. No matter where you are you can get on the Amazon website, don't even have to get up from you r chair (ok that sounds really lazy) and they will download the book or if you are not sure, they will down load a chapter or two to see if you want to buy it. It can download anyplace there is cellular coverage.
Oh, goody, an ebook reader. I have three. They're called pc's, two of which cost about what the ebook reader costs. They even read the ebooks to me if I want; or, create mp3's of the text for my mp3 player. people spend their money very strangely.
The kindle is the size of a paperback book that you can take with you anywhere. Unless you want to lug around a laptop, this is better.
