I have to say I was the biggest sceptic going on these e-readers......but I am converted. I take my Kindle with me on the bus, it is slim, light and slips easily into my handbag.
I can alter the font size to something that suits me......it is readable even in the brightest sunlight...even better than a book because you don't get the glare from a white page.
Best of all I can read it in bed at night....because it doesn't make my reading arm go to sleep.
