Thanks for the feedback, Peta. Yes, I also see a Kindle as a part solution to the house full of books problem. We have plenty computers so it is a seen as a book reader ONLY. I had not thought seriously of the larger one, simply on the grounds of cost. Is it worth it?

Yes Severin

I can answer positively.

I have had my Kindle since March of this year (I did buy the bigger one, not really heavier than the smaller one).

I am very pleased with it as I am an avid reader. Eventually there came the time when I could not fit any more books into the house!

So, even though my husband thought I would wait for the iPads to come out, if you are just in the main after a reading device, go for the Kindle.

I am looking to purchase a Kindle. I have already read a number of Kindle books on a MacBook which is more or less fine but my wife has a habit of wanting her MacBook and it i not the most convenient for presleep reading in bed at night.
Anyone have comments, all would be welcomed.
