I was very excited to find this web site. I bought the original Kindle in October,2008. I like it a lot. Its especially good for downloading those hard cover best sellers or new books at a reasonable price. I really bought it because my husband and I go to a wilderness lake in Canada for most of the summer. We both love to read and our space is limited. The closest decent library is an hour away. Last summer, I brought 3 cartons of books with me and had friends bring 2 more cartons when they visited a month later. The Kindle allows me to have a lot of books and a newspaper or 2, in a very small space.
My husband is considering the purchase of a KIndle 1 or a Sony 505. I think its very hard to make a decision since so may people love the Sony or the Kindle. I'm looking for facts and opinions to help me make a decision. Neither my husband nor I are very technically savvy.
I look forward to partiicipating in the forum discussions.
