I have the kindle. My DH did research before he bought his. I love the fact that you always have tons of books to read at your fingertips. Wish I had one years ago when we'd go camping and I'd take a grocery bag of books to read. Anyway I just love it! I think the only negative is the battery replacement issue, but hey, the positive outweighs it. We each have one with that cover that has the built-in light, love that too.
