Opinion on e-books (like kindle 2?)?
I own a kindle 2 and i love and adore it, almost like a baby (not really) and i was wondering what your opinion are about them. I personally love books ( i have 3 bookshelves contained by my bedroom, and most of them are all-wall ers) but the kindle seemed to just be less frustration when it come to finding the book i was reading last night. I love the perceive of a book in my hands don't get me wrong, i freshly think this new technology is a window of opportunity, but i also realize some relations don't want to be over taken by a flood of e-books, and i like that idea as well. this is basically a poll sort of question, so please nobody take offense.
I own the Kindle 2. I've to vote I love it! I think I've read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far!
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it have helped me improve a lot on my use and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing approaching that is simply wasted. Now I just requirement to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I similar to the most is the text-to-speech function, which means 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-so when I'm on the step machine or doing some housework...
I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the consciousness of reading books too. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very capably, it is really like reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't touch tired... And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle fairly than my never big enough bookshelf...
And what I like the best is that Kindle books, magazines and the Fourth Estate are cheaper than the actual paper version. Amazon also provides quite plentifully free or very cheap books. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it, see if you're interested too:

As an author, I am highly affronted that anyone would choose to rip a writer off by reading a book on a Kindle. It's a total bastardization of the book business. That being said...

How does Kindle books compare to other electronic book publishers?
Well, on the plus side, you have access to the Amazon library. On the minus side, well where do I switch on? Your Kindle is only good for Amazon content. You cannot use it as a phone, email deivce, play games, create Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Access documents. You have set storage.
