It is the reason amazon won me, and they did this a long time ago, as kindle did not even existed. And then, when they started with kindles and ebook, it really changed our lives. No more expensive fees for book deliveries, or airline charges for overweight luggages.

And another plus for amazon and their kindles : their dictionnaries are exceptional.

If I was only reading in english, I guess I could be very happy with kobo. But as the kids have these 4 languages (french, spanish, english and german) also at school, dictionaries are important. Now my oldest is also learning mandarin and I need to look into that for his kindle, don't know wether it would be possible at all fro him to read mandarin books on it...
