I got the kindle sometimes back even through I was not convinced if it was going to be very useful. Now I am a fan of Kindle.
It givens the freedom to read anywhere and even in the dark-so perfect to read some ina darkroom beside your loved ones before you slowly ease into the longings arm of sleeps.
Only thing is that I miss the smell of a new book which has its own charm.The price is stiff and should be reduced.I will whole heartedly recommend specially if you are a family of readers when it becomes quite economical.
