I really like my kindle because I don't have to try to hold the pages open when reading. I can stand it up and read and eat at the same time if I wanted to.
The things that I do not like about it:
You can not share books unless you share accounts! The joys of reading for me is sharing an awesome book find with friends and I can't just lend them my book.
The price of ebooks! Everytime I want to buy a book, I think of how much cheaper I can get it at the thrift store. I can buy used books for less than a dollar sometimes. I rarely buy books new because of this reason.
So so far, I have been downloading free books or super cheap ones. I have only bought two books that I really really wanted. The rest are all free or under $3.
Supposedly, Amazon is coming out with a book sharing system like the Nook so I hope it comes soon!
But over all, I like the Kindle. No more piles of books!
