Thoughts on Kindle, is it a worthwhile purchase?
I've done alot of research and read many reviews on the Kindle but would like to hear current pros and cons from real Kindle users. I know in that are knock offs out there but I'm interested in the real Kindle.
Your comments would be appreciated.

I love my Kindle 2 very much. If you are thinking of getting a Kindle, I'll voice get it and you won't regret. Since Amazon provide books for the Kindle cheaper than actual books, it has saved me comparatively a lot of money. Right now I've read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really similar to the idea that I can bring and store all the books next to the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, it is really clear like reading books; and even I read with the device for long hours, I don't feel tired. My one and only complaint is the white case, right now all the Kindles are surrounded by white color... I think it will be cool if I can have a black or deep blue color Kindle ;)
I suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer who is also a book lover, it outlines relatively a lot of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:

BTW, there are some website resembling this one, where you can find more than 20,000 free books for the Kindle. So no need to go to library to borrow them, you can in actuality own them:

I have a relative whose work involves a lot of travel, and he finds it much easier to nouns the Kindle and take along plenty of reading material (and a current converter for the charger, I assume) than to travel with various books. He's trying to convince his wife she'd enjoy one, because she reads away from home (the train or subway, coffee houses, etc.) and the Kindle is smaller than many books.
For me, a personality who does nearly all her reading at home anyway, it doesn't make much sense.
YES! I got a Kindle 2 and LOVE it... Here's an article that tell you about what Kindle can do, plus (if I'm not mistaken) you can get discounts by going under resources, above the comments. I mull over they just did a price cut. Source(s): http://www.ehow.com/how_4808104_buy-a-ki…
My wife loves hers. It's not given her one bit of trouble, but it doesn't seem to hold its charge as advertised. Be sure to buy the wall charger and motor charger, as it's not always convenient to be near a computer for USB charging.
Disads: The money is only proper (to my penny-pinching mind!) if you read A LOT! You save about $2-3 per paperbacks and maybe $10 per hardcover. At $400 or so for the adjectives system (incl. accessories) that's quite a few books (40 hardcovers or 150 paperbacks!). The urge to impulse buy is quite soaring, too.
Ads: It's nice not to have stacks of books cluttering up the house (I can't bear to throw them away and there aren't any used bookstores that will buy them in 150 miles of us). We only have one book store in town that doesn't other have anything we like, and we don't have to skulk 5 - 7 days for a book to come in the mail.
I own the Kindle 2 and I'm an avid reader too, so permit me give you some of my opinions. I've to say I love it! I expect I've read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far!
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has help me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I own the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like explicitly simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along near me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which money I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step contrivance or doing some housework...
I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But presently I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really close to reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired... And I in a minute prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big satisfactory bookshelf...
And just in case you don't know, Kindle books, magazine and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. Amazon also provides relatively a lot free or very cheap books. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I settled to buy it:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?i…
http://www.speedreaderxreview.com/is-kin…
Finally, a good news for you that Amazon has newly put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle... So take the casual if you want it.

I would be hesitant, because bear contained by mind that just because you pay for a "book", you don't necessarily own it the way you would a new-fangled. They can come in and take it whenever it so pleases them. Sure, it's easier and more convenient, but it doesn't have one and the same satisfaction of a book.
