Got mine for Father’s day. No more carrying two or three books on travel, just one slim Kindle. Love it. BTW, the cost of the books is less than half of the published price. Fits in your coat pocket.
Tons of classics for free too. Also, if you check here: http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_85650291_15?ie=UTF8&node=2245146011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_r=10VF3HGRR809QZ9JR6FF&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1268594442&pf_rd_i=1286228011, there are limited time promotional offers for free novels, etc! :~)
