I've been enjoying a huge variety of ebook novels on my Reader for a long time, and spending far less than the typical Kindle owner who has to buy their books from Amazon. (I'm NOT including those who strip and convert ebooks from various sources here, but if you want to deal with that, you can also do it with the Reader.)
Another thought wrt Kindle v 300: If you don't want/need a dictionary, the 300 is far more portable and solidly built than the plastic, bulky Kindle.
