I Finally got my Kindle 2 in March. After a month or so of fiddling about with both my K1 and K2, I decided to give the K1 to my 16 year old daughter. I loaded it with almost all of the Sookie Stackhouse books and 35 of the 36 or so Terry Pratchett books.

A day or so later, she comments in passing, "Dude, the Kindle is the best thing ever!" Now, she carries it with her everywhere she goes. To my shock, she disconnected it from my Amazon account and set up her own account. I believe she's bought the whole Twilight series.

The Kindle 1 is her first ebook reader. She has no problems with the user interface as she has no basis for comparison though she did say that it took her a few hours to get used to it. I expected to have to spend an hour or so explaining it to her, but that never happened. She's never read a manual in her life and she does very well with computers and video games.

I too believe that, "Dude, the Kindle is one of the best things ever," though I vastly prefer the K 2 to the K 1. However, I'm not telling my daughter that.
