I have a Kindle and it's my favorite possession other than my Brother 4000D. Right now I have 146 books loaded into it and have only bought 4 of those. I belong to a daily blog newsletter that sends out the titles of the books Amazon is offering free and they have quite a selection. New authors, indie authors, business topics, novels, biographies, children's books....you name it. I also like that Amazaon archives the books for you after you have read them so you can go back to re-read or to look something up if you want to. My Kindle goes with me everywhere, especially if I know I will be waiting for something. I also love it for on-the-plane reading. Lightweight and the screen has no glare so you can read outdoors if you like.
