So I worry that I would spend the money on something that I found hard to use.
I'm not converted yet.
Don't worry about reading chunks from a computer screen. The Kindle screen is made up of magnetic ink, it looks just like the page of a book.. no backlight or anything. If you know anyone who has a Kindle it would be useful to have a go with theirs.

I've recently got one and it's great. Books are cheap and you can easily put PDFs on which has come in quite useful.
