I have a Kindle and I love it. The eext is crisp and clear on the brightest of days. After three books and four weeks, battery is about half down. If you are going on vacation, a long plain ride, or hiking/camping and want to take a load of books – this is the ticket. Apple is touting iPad as a book reader. While probably an excellent web browser, the 10 hour battery just does not cut it. Kindle only uses battery when the page is changed, Apple uses battery all the time to refresh the screen. On the down side, the kindle is only black and white and does not have a back-light for nighttime reading. It really does act like a book. I would recommend the larger kindle if you are going to read .pdf files, otherwise the smaller one.

I LOVE my Kindle. I bought a used one from Ebay.
I love the weight of it, that the pages don’t flop in the wind, and that I can get new books at midnite!

I will definitely buy one once next version comes out. I’ve seen “spy photos” of possible next model and it looks much sleeker so I hold for that.

I’ve been tempted to get a Kindle here recently. I’d choose it over the Sony because there is slightly more in the way of options than on the Sony Store. Plus the Over the Air book/periodcals downloads seems to be extremely convenient. However, you should probably hold off until the Kindle 2 is released before you make your decision. That should be happening within the next two quarters.
