I love my kindle. I got it a year or so ago when I was on a long trip and the weight of books was an issue. Wouldn't be without it now, no need for the 3G as the regular one works where you can get wi-fi. Usually I load up a few books at a time so I can dip into a selection. A good idea to start with is to register with www.ereaderiq.co.uk so that you get sent a list of the top 25 free books every day. A lot of them are dross but there is the occasional good read in there, and you discover new authors at no cost.
You either love or hate it and getting used to the screen doesn't take long. I have the cover with the integral light and I can read at night without disturbing my partner. A light does shorten the battery life, but I can still use it for about three weeks without charging the battery. Works well in sunshine too.
