It really is a great product and one that is specifically designed to deliver a good reading experience rather than an iPad or a phone which is a jack of all trades.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

The fact that it is not back lit is very appealing to me. The 'pages' are very, well, page like. So much so that I have more than once lost track of what I was doing and went to try and physically turn the page, instead of pressing the button. The only thing that I don't like is the physical feeling of getting near to the end of a book. The fact that you pass the middle and can feel a conclusion drawing near just isn't the same.
Some Kindles can be bought with a cover and a built in light.Flonkkkk.

Is the whole point of Kindle saving trees (amongst other things)?

Some of the books available are "enhanced" editions i.e. include video which is neat, and I can see that developing more.
I'm still getting used to the reading experience! It does seem strange to be reading a book but not have a book in my hands, but I suspect that feeling will fade in time.
It's difficult to imagine not having books on a shelf in years to come, but then not so long ago I didn't think that my LP, and then CD, collection would be redundant!Riccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993

I haven't read a 'paper' book in over 10 years.
I've got 1000's of books resident on my home network.
Gone from reading on the big monitor, to using a laptop, to now using a 64-bit tablet PC ... I can curl up on the sofa and turn the pages with my fingers.
I do like Internet access while I read....I'm always using Google Earth and Street View and Image searches to complement my reading experiences.
