Hate's a pretty strong word. Overall I'm totally satisfied with the kindles. My one nitpick is with the USB connections:
- On the K1 there was no charging via USB.
- On the K2 they used the newer micro-b connector over the mini-b connector, which is a pain. I have dozens of devices with mini-b connectors (and dozens of cables), but only one with the micro-b connector -- the K2.
I imagine the nook is probably a great reader as well, as I'm sure the Sonys and other eInk devices are.
I think the kindle/nook are perfect e-readers for the heavy reader who doesn't want to mess about with their computer each time they want a new book. Had I realized this back when I got my K1, I would have probably opted for a Sony instead, as I was mainly interested in copyright infringement. Sadly, owning Kindles has led me down the dark path of being an upright consumer -- I've found that the 5-20 minutes it takes to illegally download/re-format/convert a book is costlier than simply buying the book from Amazon and having it immediately delivered to me. My evil plans were once again foiled by my own laziness.
