There's a whole lifetime's worth of reading, however, that's available free of charge for both. Catch up on your reading of the out of copyright "classics"; eBook readers are perfect for this.

Except with the Kindle, don't you have to pay to email your own documents to your device? You can't hook it up to your computer and move files? I think I read that somewhere.

"Personal Files
Eliminating the need to print, Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you. Each Kindle has a unique and customizable e-mail address. You can set your unique email address on your Manage Your Kindle page. This allows you and your contacts to e-mail Word documents and pictures wirelessly to your Kindle for only $.10. Kindle supports wireless delivery of unprotected Microsoft Word, HTML, TXT, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files.
PDF conversion is experimental. The experimental category represents the features we are working on to enhance the Kindle experience even further. You can email your PDFs wirelessly to your Kindle. Due to PDF’s fixed layout format, some complex PDF files might not format correctly on your Kindle.
If you are not in a wireless area or would like to avoid the $.10 fee for wireless delivery, you can send attachments to "name"@free.kindle.com to be converted and e-mailed to your computer at the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account login. You can then transfer the document to your Kindle using your USB connection. For example, if your Kindle email address is
Jay@Kindle.com, send your attachments to
Jay@free.kindle.com. "

So why do you have to email them? To be converted? It won't read other file types? So if I have my prc or txt files already on my computer, do I have to pay to send it to my Kindle, or can I just put it on there? That's what is confusing me.
