I use mine for travel, and now that we don't have a general bookstore, most of my nightly reading. I bought the cheapest Kindle touch, so it shows ads when it is turned off, never when I am reading. I hate the pricing on kindle books, they should be cheaper than print but aren't, but I like the fact that I can take 100+ books on the road with me in something smaller and lighter than a paperback. When I was recovering from surgery I blew the print up pretty big to overcome the meds and it worked fine if I used the horizontal mode. I read a lot of the free classics and out of print/copyright that are out there through amazon and other online sources, as well as a lot of current popular fiction. I haven't tried the library downloads yet, but I hate that there is no way to "loan" books I enjoy to friends and family.
My coworker who is a language arts teacher loves her nook and hates kindle, for what it is worth.
Overall, I would buy it again, but I still really like and miss reading print books.
