I don't have one YET! My sister has one and last summer we took a 10 day trip. She had the kindle and I had a suitcase full of books. The kindle held the charge the whole time. I haven't committed to buy one yet, but it is sure getting close. Our library has the online ability to check out E books now.

I have a Kindle (would like to sell it) but just got the Nook from Barnes and Nobles. If you read a lot, the Nook can also access public library books, the Kindle cannot. Either way, you will LOVE It!

I have the Pandigital Novel in color. It works with Barnes & Noble. I really like it. I would definitely get one that is 3G though. It's a pain to have to find a wi-fi location to download books.

I got the nook after comparing because the nook has space for an extra sd card and if the battery dies you can change it the kindle if the battery dies you have to get a new kindle. And the nook does have 4G now.

I have Kindle for iPad. I wanted the all in one tablet. It rarely leaves my side. I LOVE it. The kindle app works just like the kindle, and I can put other readers on it too. I'm typing this post and reading the board on it right now!

I have both the iPad with Kindle app and the Kindle - I love them both. At home I tend to use the iPad for reading but when waiting in a doctors office, etc I take the Kindle because it is smaller and lighter. Of course the Kindle is much cheaper than the iPad.

My son and DIL both use them and like them. I don't have much inclination to get one, however. Usually I buy used books for a few dollars at the Friends of the Library bookstore, and re-donate when I'm finished. They support the library coming and going. When I'm on a sewing binge, an audio book is ideal. Any book over 100 years old is in the public domain and usually easy to find free online, some as audio books. On your computer, you can enlarge the text (on any site - including this one) by holding down the control key and scrolling the mouse wheel.
