The 6" model that I ordered through Amazon. It's light, the font is very easy to read, the battery lasts several days (and I use it every day) and when anyone recommends a book I can get a sample downloaded within a minute or so. If I like it I buy it - just a click and it's there. I also subscribe to a Kindle-version weekly magazine (The Spectator).
I bought a Kindle because I couldn't keep adding shelves in our apartment. It's nice to have books on shelves, but you can get to the point that you really don't need to have any more. Kindle is also easy to find stuff you're looking for some time after you've read something. Books on shelves are like old friends, but there comes a time when one has to become unattached to these friends.
The only complaint I have is that I've always enjoyed going in to good bookstores and coming out with two or three nice new books. That's not really the same any more. In fact, when I see a book I'm interested in I furtively check on my Kindle if it has a Kindle version, then, if it has, I put the book back on the shelf. I feel a bit guilty about that.
Where as the Kindle is small, light easy to hold, very easy on the eye to read for long hours and the battery lasts for weeks at a time. If you want a device to browse the internet, play games and watch films get an ipad, if you want a small convenient device for reading get a kindle.
Some Kindle characteristics I really like are
1, the ability to read in bright sun light
2, being able to change the font size for different lighting conditions
3, not having to hold pages down to keep them from turning
4, changing pages with a finger push (i.e., when eating and reading, don't have to turn pages)
5, always opens to the page I was reading when I turned it off.
The best recommendation i can make for gaining ebooks for the kindle is a service called Kinde Ebooks, it is a online library which is massive and give access to over 40,000 ebooks and includes the newest releases, best sellers and old cult classics aswell. The reason i recommend it so much is becasue unlike amazon you dont pay per download but pay a one off fee of just $20 and then can download all the titles you wish. The subscription is not limited either but a lifetime memebership and the best value i ahve found. A must for Kindle fans.
