I love the Kindle. It is so handy to take with me and know I will enjoy it more when I travel. It is compact and easy to carry. The only downfall (for me) is that I live near a National Forest and cannot upload (books) from here. I keep it handy and when I go into 'town' and I upload what I need and can read at my leisure. I love the font you can change and the 'read to me' choice you have.
