I have the old fashioned Kindle, yes, it isn't exactly a delete but a remove button. It is still in your account, in case you change your mind, but it is removed from you devise.

I use mine exclusively for reading, not internet capable.

I like my Kindle Fire, it has the delete button. You can also get a Nook app if you want to download books from Barnes and Noble.

If your Kindle breaks or doesn't work after the warranty, call the Amazon Customer Service. As a Kindle owner you get a discount on a new Kindle. My first Fire quit charging from the inside. I found a youtube how to fix the charger, DH said he would try it. Haven't lost anything if it doesn't work and might learn something.

I have original Kindle. Love it. Don't think I can delete but holds so many books I have not worried about it?. No light but oh well.

I have a nook (about 1 1/2 years old) and my DH added something that makes it a full tablet. I can read kindle or nook books and search the web too. The best of all worlds.
We like to spend a lot of our weekend out camping (no, in a trailer, not a tent) and have become a real 21st century couple. We build a big campfire (when it is allowed) and read from our readers even after dark so the lighted versions come in handy.

I have a kindle fire hd and love it. I can download books, delete books, play my music....it will read any book to me, it doesn't have to be an audio book. ..go on the web etc....it does lots more...but mainly I love it to read to me....

Book formats - with the exception of library books, etc that are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Mnagement) - are trivial. I use Calibre to convert my books from epub to mobi (Kindle format) because I used to read on a Sony but have had a Kindle paperwhite for 2 weeks. Calibre will convert pretty near any format to any format and it's as easy or complex as you choose to make it. Simpler conversions or full on changes to the books.

There are really only 3 things to consider with e-Readers:
1. Do you want it to do everything or be designed for the reading experience? If everything, go tablet. If the reading experience - go eReader.
2. Do you want to borrow library books or would you buy/download/side load them? There are tons of really interesting indie sites out there for books too - smashwords, Baen, etc. If you want to borrow library books - in non-US countries, that's the deal killer for the Kindle. I get around it with my Sony reader but I really don't borrow a lot anymore.
3. Do you get along with how the reader works? Is it intuitive to you, do you like how it operates? Do you like the backlight or not? etc. I find the backlight on the KPW is bluish and glares a little even at 6 out of 24 at night but I'm getting used to it and it's still better than the hotspot glares on my Sony.

I have an older version of the Nook ,and really love it. any books I'm through with ,I go into my B&N account on the computer and archive them, it removes them from your reading list.
