Love my Kindle.
Easy to read the screen outside, in bright sun.
There isn't an endless, Library of Congress-like stream of titles. Not everything is on there but a huge pile of stuff is.
The only thing that irritated me was knowing a favourite author had released a title in November and I wasn't able to buy it on Kindle until about May. I assume that was because it was being sold in hardback and was only available on Kindle when it was released in paperback.
Prices have been very cheap, particularly since I've been tending to catch up on favourite authors in titles no longer in print. So I bought a title for $1.99 recently and it's not uncommon to pay $3.99. I think the most I've paid is $16.99 for one.
Battery lasts a long, long time if you're careful to keep the wireless off when you're not using it, which should be virtually all the time since you only need to use it to search for titles.
I've also learned the trick of getting newspaper subscriptions on a two-week free trial basis when I'm out of town, then cancelling as I get back home. Basically getting newspapers and magazines for free while I'm on vacation.
A really handy device.
