I have a Kindle now.
And I love it. The font is easy to read, and I sized the text up a touch so I can read a lot longer without getting physically tired. Also, it is so comfy reading in bed with it. I think I'm reading about twice as much as I could before. And using it saves paper.
I used to read so much, and then around five years ago I noticed I would get tired quickly. I'd either fall asleep, or I'd find myself squinting and the muscles around my eyes would get sore. I got good prescription reading glasses from my eye doctor, and that helped a lot. But I guess after a life of being nearsighted (and having very good close vision), even a new pair of glasses wasn't enough help. With the Kindle, I can set the text so I see it best, and every book shows up the same.
I'm hooked. :)
