I love, love, love my kindle. I got mine first and ended up buying my husband, son, and two of my three daughters one. The only reason she didn't get one is she "needed" a new Playstation. I bet she gets one next Christmas. The draw for me is (1) I can see to read it (no glare and you can make the print suitable for your eyes) and (2) no storing of books. It's some of the best money I ever spent. Just my thoughts on it. Everybody's different.
