Our local library just started making books available and I haven't tried it yet as I have about 180 books on my 2.5 year old kindle waiting to be read

BUT - 89 y.o. MIL was given a new 3G kindle a few weeks ago and is doing FAB with it. One of her favorite things is having the Bible so she can do her study before bed :-)
She couldn't get hardback books, couldn't hold them anymore and would have to wait for paperback issues. Now she can get her fav authors right away and for MUCH less than hardcover price.

I like the looks/idea of the Fire for toting around but not really for reading. E-ink is so easy on the eyes, just like reading a paper book.

Here's a link to the top 100 paid and free so you can see some pricing.
