Guilty pleasure reason: to save and read fanfic at will, wherever I am, without having to be connected to the Web.
Practical reason: a small apartment that doesn't have enough room for all the DTBs we already have (think stacks on the floor). I'm hoping to replace most of these with e-books as opportunity and finances permit.
Fun reason: I love having all sorts of personal documents on my Kindle. Recipes... class notes... saved webpages... anything that strikes my fancy, and/or that I'd like to have a portable version of.
Backup reason: Having the Kindle 3G means that I have free roaming capability on the Web when away from home.
