Hello there. I'm another satisfied Kindle owner/user.

My TBR stack for paper books had been getting out of control, and I hope that eventually, the Kindle will help me reduce it. But, that does mean that I have to get busy and read these paper books -- since I can't justify purchasing them again in electronic format. While the TBR stack hasn't gotten much smaller, I now have hundreds and hundreds of TBR electronic books that I've downloaded from here, Feedbooks, ManyBooks, and Baen. Fortunately, these take up only 250M or so of storage on my USB drive.

For the Kindle, I've bought about 30 books from various places, but have only read about 1/2 of what I've bought. I received my Kindle in mid-February, and since then I've read 17 books on the Kindle, 20 in paper, and 1 audio book. Of the books read on the Kindle, 7 were free downloads from various places, 3 were purchased from Baen, and 7 were purchased from Amazon.

Hubby and I take several trips by car each year -- he drives and I read. I had been keeping a small cardboard box packed with paperback books for the car. Now, I just grab my Kindle and go.

I hope you enjoy your Kindle as much as I'm enjoying mine.
