It’s not a Kindle but I was given a Sony Reader for Xmas (It’s the same sort of thing minus the wireless and qwerty keyboard).
I am a heavy reader (and by that I mean I read a lot, not that I’m heavy, although I am heavy but it’s definately someone else’s fault, anyway I digress…..)
I think the Ebook reader/Kindle concept is such a great idea. I can now carry around hundreds of books with me on the memory cards (up to 32gig), I can bookmark them all if I want to so can be halfway through them all and it’ll remember my place. I’m probably more likely to read books I would’nt neccessarily buy. On the internet there are literally thousands of books available free, and legal too, these are books I wouldnt buy in paperback or whatever, but I might read them now they are available to me free, and I can pop them on my reader.
I can read PDF, RTF, TXT, BBeB EpuB and Microsoft Word files, listen to MP3’s using headphones even while reading and even look at pictures (in B/W)
It will NOT stop me reading “Physical” books, and if I see one I wanna read in a store, second hand shop or whatever I’ll buy it – but I see it as opening up a range of new material for me and it has convenience working for it too..
So, Yes, I’,m already getting used to it.
