Great topic
Kindle
LOVE IT!
Just released a new version too.
Can get a cheaper version without wireless for as little as $139
I have the one with wireless.
DH just bought the new version without wireless (he can buy books from his phone and have it sent to his kindle if he is in need of a book and isn't home to buy it.)
I love that if you have more than one in a house (or registered under the same @mazon acct. you can share all books on up to 4 devices.)
My only con, which I am not sure if the other ones are this way or not, but it doesn't show page numbers because you can change font size etc. but it shows you percentage of book completed. I am very used to that now, but I was used to seeing page numbers. Now it doesn't bother me. I like the percentage completed.
Love the built in dictionary feature (great for kids who use it too).
I picked the kindle because at the time the only other competition was the sony reader and this had better reviews. I also like that the books come from amazon, not particularly an affiliated bookstore.
No glare on screen, not backlit like a computer. Very easy on eyes, like a book would be.
Can't live without it!
