Has anyone got one? What do you think of it? I'm considering buying one now that they're available in the UK, once the connection issues are sorted out. Is it going to be just another gadget I'll use for a short while then stick in the gadget drawer to get bit-rot?
The books do seem to be pretty expensive. You'd think that they would be half the price of a real book, as they don't have to do all that expensive printing, distributing and adding the shop's markup.
Any thoughts welcome.

I don't find them that expensive and KINDLE has a free books section for you. AND you can, via Amazon, publish your own book on KINDLE and other e-reader formats.

I think the convenience alone makes it worth it. And, yes, there are lots of free books available for the Kindle. Personally, I always check my library first for the actual book (free!). If I really want to read it and cannot wait, then I'll get it on Kindle. It is great for when you travel as you don't have to lug around books. I have the Kindle app on my phone as well and will sometimes continue my book on my phone if I don't have my Kindle with me. My Kindle conveniently "syncs" to where I need to be in the book! Love it!!

I have a Nook color and love it. I also have the kindle app on my phone but have been considering getting a Kindle Fire for better storage of the free books I get from the internet. Still deciding ..... ?

The kindle is a definitely a good investment to make. Many books are free, and amazon has good deals sometimes on kindle books. Usually the kindle version is at least somewhat cheaper than the actual book itself.
