Just got kindle. Not thinking about ipad (or clones)
Depends what you want it for. I got kindle because I like to read on holiday, and had to carry lots of books with me..now I have just one device that holds 3,500 books.
First impressions..i like it
Useful feature, changing font size, very handy. It is quick down loading.
I like the collections method (storing several books under one heading). Bought 4 dresden files books for hols, stored them together
Big selection of free classics, may well read winnie the pooh again
I bought the leather wallet, fits nicely, and feels good.
Will update more when I play.
