    Which one? There are at least 3 (4 if you count the Fire).

    Though regardless, my review is: yes. It's like having books, but less heavy and space-consuming. Everyone wins.

    I love my Kindle, I use it everyday. I had the Kindle Keyboard and liked it but rarely used the keyboard so when I wore it out I just got the regular model. I liked the feel of the keyboard version a lot better.

    I have a kindle, and it. Sometimes the books aren't edited very well. I've seen glaring spelling and grammatical errors. But it's great to take on trips and for reading in bed.

    I LOVE my Kindle Fire HD. I can carry all my books, magazines, music, pictures, etc in one little device. I create PDF's with my goals for the moth or documents from the internet and save them in my documents tab so I can have the information when I need it. I play Netflix for my kids at restaurants that have free WiFi, check the news, and log my food through my Kindle. I have the 7" Kindle Fire so it is small enough to fit into my purse. I also listen to my book with the Text-to-Speech while working, driving, or cleaning the dishes. I borrow Kindle books and audiobooks from my local library, and what I heard is that you cannot do it with the app for the Ipad or other tablets. So, If you like to read get the Kindle; you won't regret it.

    I'm not entirely sure what to do with that.

    Well, that's embarrassing. Maybe it's not the Kindle. Maybe it is me.

    the ONLY downfall to the Kindle? it doesn't have the book smell. but i do love mine. i just dl'ed the complete Sherlock Holmes (all books and shorts) for 0.99. so yeah.

    I don't think I could survive without my Kindle! I have a paperwhite because I wanted a lighted screen, but before that I had the 3rd generation with the keyboard that was arguably the best basic Kindle that they ever made.

    As a side note, I also have an iPad mini which I love as well. I do read on both, but I really prefer reading on the Kindle especially outside. There is just wicked glare when I go outside. That being said, if I had no technology and could only pick one, I would go iPad mini if you have a little more to spend or Kindle Fire if you're on a budget. I just really like the flexibility with the iPad though in that I can read different formats and from multiple sources. But for just reading, Kindle all the way!

    I Absolutely love my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Compared to my wife's Ipad, the Kindle dowloads faster, but the screen is slightly smaller. I use it for reading, surfing, researching, gaming, email; anything that can be done with a tablet. As an earlier reply indicated, sometime the books/mags will have grammer/misspellings: That is not the Kindle's fault but a fault of the book editer/publisher.

    I own a Kindle keyboard, a Kindle Fire and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (old timer eyes needed the larger screen)
