I have a Kindle! It was a gift and it has the 3G which is super cool, though the browser is very slow so I now see why it's really just good for e-reading and not like the ipad (which is just a little computer and way cooler for everything). I love the Kindle, though, and have the calibre downloaded. I've chosen a few feeds but will experiment with others more later. I still have four "real" books I need to finish but have downloaded the "next" book after those.
Any recommendations for books are definately appreciated as I have more reading time these days. I'm reading two right now but love to have an ongoing list.
Thanks for all the advice - esp to Rags.
PS I LOVE the Kindle's illustrations that stay on-screen when the Kindle is turned off.
Now I need a good carrying case.

It was light enough, ran off the Kindle power, and didn't have a very bad hotspot effect. Perfectly readable in the dark.
There are cheaper options out there, but I haven't seen them, IRL.
