I’ve owned my Kindle for a year now, here is what I think…

Really glad I got the 3G one, use that capability all the time, WiFi is not widespread enough.

Over the air delivery is awesome, I’ve used it all over the UK, in Honolulu airport, it works every time, don’t consider getting an eReader without it.

Range of books is only OK, but improving, and there are less and less books I want to read but aren’t available.

Book pricing is really odd, sometimes, they are a fraction of the paperback price, which is a fair price, as there isn’t the overhead of a printed book. But some are the same price, which just seems like gouging to me, there is a difference between profiting and profiteering. Especially when Amazon is the only serious source of books for the Kindle, it’s exploring a monopoly, and it’s not right.

I also own an iPad, but it’s not a device for serious readers (in the space of a year, I’ve read about 30 books on the Kindle), the battery life isn’t good enough, and it’s hard on the eyes compared to a Kindle, it’s super glossy screen looks pretty but terrible in daylight.

I recommend the Kindle, if they took away the profiteering aspect, it would be close to perfect.
