I LOVE MY KINDLE...thank you for posting this because it gives me the chance to announce my LOVE to kindle..i read a lot and i have so far two big wall cabinets full of books and since i started quilting i need to cut on space usage (you know why ;-) ). I got the middle one which is 3G and wi fi for $189. it is very convenient to have the 3G wherever you go since that works on cell phone networks, and you can enlarge fonts so no need for the big one (i see it bulky and waste of money). Also the amount of books and media you can get on that thing is amazing. I even downloaded a quilting book the other day out of curiousity. It is just awesome and convenient.
One thing though when you buy one think carefull about the light. After i bought several regular book lights, i ended up buying the kindle version kindle cover with the built in light (man that thing is amazingly convenient), pricy but worth every penny once you use it.
Hope that helps....did i mention i love my kindle?????
