I'm starting to read modern fiction again, after a long hiatus reading mostly technical material and non-fiction for work (I'm a systems librarian.) A few favorite authors off the top of my head: James Joyce, David Foster Wallace, P.G. Wodehouse, S.J. Perelman, Lorrie Moore, Mavis Gallant, William Trevor, Roald Dahl, William Gaddis...One of the reasons I bought the Kindle 2 rather than the DX was that I wanted an e-reader that wasn't a laptop, netbook, etc - something that wasn't for business and had no distractions.
About the only drawback I can see to the Kindle is that I do read poetry, and the copy of Leaves of Grass I bought looks terrible on Kindle - lines broken all over the place.
