My first ever Kindle arrived last week as a birthday present for myself and I'm in love with it!  I bought it with a leather cover that has a book light included. It is fabulous for reading in bed as it much lighter than some of the heavy books I normally read and the book light is great for reading when my husband is trying to sleep.

It fits in my purse so easily that it tends to get taken everywhere which means no more dreary magazines in waiting rooms and something to do while waiting for the school bell to ring when my toddler has fallen asleep in the car.  I've read one and half books in just over a week - quite a record for me!!

The font size can be increased or decreased depending on your vision - which is useful when my eyes get tired and I can't be bothered wearing my reading glasses!

My only issue with it is you can't read it in the bath!!

Hi, I just bought a Kindle for hubby and he is liking it. As regards buying books for kindle, since Kindle is an Amazon product you need to buy books from Amazon. Depending on how popular / recent the book is etc, the price varies. There are heaps of titles free to download as well. Broadband / 3G / WiFi are required for a quick download of books.

mumof6, you need not worry, Kindle is held just like a book (about 15cmX20cm in size) so you can sit on the toilet and still read it;)!!

Will update which book I am reading, once I pry the Kindle from hubby's hands:)

No I have never read an e-book, I can't imagine reading a novel off a computor screen. Much prefer reading a real book. It sometimes takes me forever to read a book and I even have to resort to sneaking to the toilet for a bit of quiet time and a quick read .

Can't imagine doing this with an e-book!!!
