I have never owned a Kindle. I would eRead on my PDA or smart phone. After a friend with a Nook demonstrated the utility of an e-reader, I bought a $20 Literati (has Kobo software) and my complaints were the LCD screen and the battery life.

So, naturally, I replaced it with an eInk Kobo ($40) since the software was just fine.

Kindles always cost twice-or-more what I was looking at and didn't provide twice-or-more function, so it seemed a no Brainer to not spend unnecessary money.
