I love my Kindle, I got mine with 3G, so I could download anytime, anywhere. It is great for traveling, you don't have to carry a bunch of books. I carry mine in my purse so if I have a few minutes to wait, I can read. You can also get samples of books before you buy. And I found out my library has books you can "borrow". Not sure how that works because it is free. One of the best things I have bought lately, love it. Amazon has great tech support, too.
