I love my Kindle!! I have to admit that I sometimes feel guilty reading it -- because I also feel passionate about supporting independent bookstores and libraries. But for some reason my husband - who is not a reader and doesn't understand spending money on books - doesn't look at it the same when I am buying a Kindle book as when I'm spending $50 at my local bookstore. It's weird. I can download all the books I want for Kindle with no hassles. Hmmmm.

ALSO, a friend of mine who also has a Kindle said "It seems like I read so much faster on the Kindle" - and I had been thinking the same thing! I have no idea why this is....and I guess it would be the same for Kindle/Sony, but it's kind of a weird phenomenon.

I haven't looked at the Sony, but the electronic paper was what sold me on the Kindle. I don't want to read a computer screen. Also, I just love the whispernet where you can download anywhere. I have downloaded books in the airport, on the plane waiting to take off, on a boat on a lake, on the beach -- and on and on. It's great. I also love love LOVE that I can read the first chapter. It's a huge indicator to me whether I'm going to like the book - and sometimes when I'm divided between reading two books, the first chapter makes my decision for me!!

I love Kindle!!
