    I’m an avid reader as well, and I own the Kindle 2. So let me give you some of my opinions about it. I’ve to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far! Kindle books are cheaper than actual books and I think I’ve saved over $100 for the books I’ve bought on the Kindle. It is the best and most hot selling ebook reader in the market right now.

    One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…

    I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired… And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf… And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle. You can get a cover to protect the Kindle as well, so it will not be easy to break it ;)

    There are quite a lot of free books (tips: if you’re outside the U.S. all the books will have US$2 added, but when you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable), and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

    Finally, in case you don’t know, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support… So take the chance if you want it.

    Hope it helps :)

    I think Kindle is the best ebook reader now. I own kindle 2 and I can tell you this device is very fast and easy to use. See more details and features here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&tag=hot_deal-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0015T963C

    It all depends on what features are the most important to you.

    Here’s a guide that will help you choose:

    I love my Kindle 2 very much. If you’re considering to get an ebook reader, just get the Kindle 2 and you won’t regret. Right now I’ve read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really like the idea that I can bring and store all the books with the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, it is really clear like reading books; and even I read with the device for long hours, I don’t feel tired. My only complaint is the white case, right now all the Kindles are in white color… I think it will be cool if I can have a black or deep blue color Kindle ;)

    I suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer who is also a book lover, it outlines quite a lot of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:

    BTW, there are some websites like these two, where you can find more than ten thousand free books for the Kindle. So no need to go to library to borrow them, you can actually own them:

    Hope this helps.

    Everyone wants an affordable ebook reader with pdf support to protect their eyes and brains from all the radiation bombardment that your computer screen gives you. These companys have exploited this demand buy giving consumers a digital bookstore that purposely excludes pdf support so you give into their money making digital book download scam. I don’t know about you, but I have 1000’s of books in pdf format that I’m going to spend a lifetime reading. Therefore, I suggest that you boycott the Kindle 2 and DX until the company decides to put out a product with a reasonable price tag and PDF support.

    Amazon Kindle without a thought.

    Read this article and you’ll know, it is written by a person who has tried a number of ebook readers. It is also the best review I’ve ever read about ebook readers:

    Go for the Kindle, you can’t be wrong. Read the end of this article too, it mentions something about other ebook readers:
