My husband has put his nose up at dedicated e-readers, and said he'd use his iPad (which I realize is a preferred e-reader for lots of people.) But he just wasn't using it. He was looking through the bookcase to see if there were any paper books he hadn't read, but of course we aren't buying those anymore and we have purged ourselves of clutter, including old books. I asked why he wouldn't read on the iPad, and he said it was too big. I asked if he wanted to use my Kindle. He wasn't sure, but I said to just start something and stop if he didn't like it. His first comment was that there wasn't enough on each page, but after about 15 minutes he said he was used to pressing the button and the small amount on each page didn't phase him as page turns didn't cause him to stop reading anymore.

It's been two weeks and I think it might no longer be MY Kindle. He reads it all the time. I've been using my Nook ST exclusively. I love my NST, but I need something to access my Kindle books. (I'd rather just get a Kindle than remove DRM on everything.) I might get a Paperwhite after it looks like they're pretty consistent quality-wise.
