how is it?! I am a reader (one/month) and still am a little confused about this. How does it feel compared to a real book?
I know I wasn't the poster of that picture; but I just have to share.
Kindles are flat out awesome. Especially the Kindle 3's; the contrast is superb compared to everything else out there. I've had all three generations of Kindles and have converted probably 10 family members/friends to use them and they love them just as much as I do.
Weight wise it is great due it being so light, contrast is just as good as print (for me, young eyes), and the fact that it's so easy to get free/paid for books on the device (wirelessly or via USB) is very convenient. Not to mention it barely feels like an 'electronic' device since I read on mine (30-120 minutes daily) and I charge it once every 3-5 weeks.
Seriously- buy one, it has made me a much more
diligent reader so to speak.
