    The key differentiator between the Kindle and other readers is that books are directly downloaded onto a Kindle via built-in 3G, whereas most if not all other readers require the intervention of a computer. I've downloaded books while at the beach, and I've heard of other people getting the NYT on their Kindle every morning while touring Bhutan.
    Amazon also offers a much broader range of digital books for the Kindle than any other reader does. The Kindle will be updated sometime in 2009 to correct its flaws, but it's a pretty good first pass. I am an avid reader, and I hate being caught without a book or magazine, so I LOVE my Kindle. I was very skeptical of it initially; but after receiving one as a gift last summer, I was won over. I still read print books of course -- they're free at the library vs. ~$10 on my Kindle

    What a minute? I can have just about any book I want at any place I want it with the touch of a button? Are you sh*ttin' me? That's awesome! Oh, I think this might be something I actually have to have. This is a good idea then because I'm always somewhere and get recommended a book and end up forgetting it or not finding it at the library. And I usually won't buy a book until I'm convinced of it's usefulness or it moves me. LOL Like Happy Victims by Tsuzuki Kyoichi. Because I'm definitely a happy victim.
