I've had my Kindle for about a month and love it. I have several books on it already, and almost all of them were free. The couple that I've paid for haven't been more than $1.99. I absolutly love mine. I have discovered several authors that I wouldn't have read before because of the free books. I then checked on some of their other books, and most of them were around 2.99. I had doubts about whether I'd like it, but have been nothing but happy with it.
