I can has a Kindle
I got a Kindle for a (very early) Christmas present! And I really really like it. I've bought all the Josh Lanyon books I never read cause they were e-books only and I'm planning to switch primarily to e-books because they are cheaper and take up less room. So much for my curmudgeonly opposition to e-books.

I have way too many ebooks, and I do enjoy using the ereader (they're more "green," and all - but I think I still favor paper books. (Softcover books, anyway. Hardcovers are too heavy!)
ETA: Which Kindle is it? Keyboard or not?

Thanks. It's not so bad here actually. ;)

The $79 one. No keyboard.

Anyway, lots of info there about tech gadgets, ereaders, etc., with forums organized by device.
I've gotta ask: How are you liking the side page turn buttons. Is it possible to hold the device in one hand and turn pages with that same hand comfortably?
I'm considering a Kindle, actually. (Arrrgh - I already own a Kobo, but dang Amazon for having the monopoly on some ebooks. I speak specifically of books by Robert Rankin. I may actually have to break down and get a Kindle - and I was thinking of the $79 model).

The side page turn buttons don't bother me but it's my first e-book reader so it's not like I've gotten used to a different kind or anything. I tend to hold it with both hands but I think turning it with the same hand you hold it with shouldn't be too difficult.

That sucks!
I loved it! didn't think I would because I love holding a book
I've adjusted rather quickly to the light, streamlinedness (totally a word I just made up) of the Kindle. I'm already like OMG this (print) book is all bulky and awkward to use. *L*
