Wireless! How in the world can you beat that feature. My new thing now is laying in bed at night and while laying in bed buy a new book and start reading it without getting out of bed.

Free wireless, free internet, never a bill for the service.
I'm hooked line and sinker into my Kindle 2

I've been using a Kindle since January. And I'm very, very satisfied. I find the device to be very handy, especially when traveling. I wish it was a little better at dealing with the many PDF's I have. But, other than that. I think it's a great device. You'd be surprised. I've been using a Kindle since January.

I’d much rather keep the physical books AND my book shelf than tie my reading habits only to Amazon.

Anyway, I’d much rather read a piece of paper than an 8 bit screen.
