My wife has the 2 (started with original), swears by it. A slight curve getting used to reading books that way but once you get used to it, definately better, more convienent, all that. She has corrupted quite a few of her friends, once they put their hands on it a take a test drive, they're hooked.

Thanks. I've heard they are awesome. Possible Xmas gifts for my two kids.

Never heard of it before so I googled it! Pretty cool deal! My wife reads a lot...I wonder if she would like one..hummmmmm!

Wife insists it would be a definate point scorer under the tree.
The amount of downloadable content for this thing is growing by huge leaps everyday, not just books, you can get tons more stuff.
... and Rad, if you keep the wi-fi turned off, those D-cells in it last forever

Kindles are awesome. I've got the original, my daughter has the 2.

Look for colleges to go "Kindle-based" over the next several years, where each class has to ensure the textbook is available via Kindle. Book costs will drop by 75% in that scenario. Imagine your kids not carrying around 3 5 lb. textbooks in their backpacks. Here's the best part: if you lose it (or it gets stolen), you can regain all the books that were stored on it. And since you can password protect it... there's less incentive for thieves to take it.

You'll see more of them in the future.
