I've always said: "Whatever works for you." If a Kindle is what you've always needed to make e-book reading great for you, then by all means, get one. If, on the other hand, you like reading from your PSP, do it! You want to use an iPod Touch? Go ahead! I'm in support of all of 'em, as long as it gets people to read e-books and enjoy it.
People tend to decide for themselves what they want to do. Once they do, they condition themselves to do what it takes to get there. In terms of technology, the Steve Jordan mantra is: "If you want to get used to it... you'll get used to it."
E-book readers fit that mantra well: None of them is perfect, but owners get used to their idiosyncrasies in order to get past them and enjoy their e-books. If an owner buys a new reader, they get used to that one's idiosyncrasies, get past them and enjoy their e-books... and on, and on. Obviously, the better the reader, the less you have to "make do" with, but it's all about using it because you want to.
Get them to
want to do it... and they will. Let them decide how.
