Another bonus to the Kindle is the free sample downloads. In my experience, most book stores have rather short excerpts on their sites if they have them at all. Amazon sends you a generously sized sample, usually about a chapter, that you can read on your Kindle at your leisure. If you like it, you can have the book very quickly without really breaking the rhythm of your reading. I find this feature to be a real money-saver since I haven't bought a single Kindle book that I haven't finished. I've downloaded tons of samples and not bought the books, though. Before I got the Kindle I frequently bought books that I didn't end up enjoying. I'd read a little in the bookstore but nearly as much as I do with the sample. They also function a bit like a reading list. When I hear about a book that interests me, I just grab the sample so I don't forget.
