Reading books on an electronic device really just seems to suck the heart and soul right out of it, IMHO. Just my 2 cents, though.

I don't have one yet, but I can totally see the reasons to get one. I love to read in bed, but I cannot get comfortable. I could easily read laying prone, but moving my arms to turn the page, as well as positioning the book to be readable is a pain.

Having a Kindle would eliminate both of those problems. I think I just sold myself!
