I love reading on it: but I especially like that you can get the meaning of a word instantly and that it has a complete dictionary on it. The chance to check out a book with the first two or three chapters is great. This is not only good to see if you will like the book but also if you have read it before. I have always read alot and sometimes do not place the name of the book as one I have already read. Thanks for the Kindle!! Also love that you can order books in the middle of the night from Amazon!
