Most of the people that have a kindle and another brand of ereader have the kindle becase frequently Amazon tends to be the lowest cost re-seller of what ever book they are interested in and they want to be able to read the boosk from amazon without the troubble of stripping the drm and converting the file format. For the sales prices of the basic kindles they are telling me "its so cheap its simply more effective for them to have an extra kindle sitting around". If this makes sense for you then its a great reader, I simply would not spend the $80 for the conveniece of being able to read my amazon boosk without stripping and converting. As with all things in life the answer to the question of to buy the cheap kindle or not becomes - whats the convenience worth to you?
