I love Kindle! I never thought I would say that because I love hold-in-the-hand books.
I buy gift cards from our local Best Buy so that I don’t have to give my credit card number when ordering on line. Mr. Fixit gets a little nervous about having that number floating around out there in the ether. If I finish a book using the Kindle reading program on the e-pad at 3:00 am, I can purchase another one without leaving my bed and in my pj’s. It takes about 30 seconds to download a book. Having a set limit also keeps me from going overboard which I have a tendency to do when purchasing books.
It’s possible to download free books, and sometimes you can find great bargains on brand new works. An author mentioned on his blog a few days ago that his new book is available for Kindle readers. The price—$2.99! That’s far less than the cost of a paperback, and I don’t have to wait for a year for it to hit the stands in soft cover.
Amazon offers a free reader for computers so that an e-reader or e-pad is not necessary. I used that before one of my sons gave me the e-pad for Christmas. Using a smaller unit is more convenient than using a laptop if you like to read in bed.

I'm sold on my Kindle, too. The only thing I might miss is being able to look at the front cover, but I can see that on Amazon. So, no big deal.
