I have a Kindle as well, and have absolutely loved it. It makes reading by the pool on vacation that much easier because I don't have to fill my carry on with 3 books that may get damaged. I just load up my Kindle before I go, and I can have a whole library at my fingertips!

I have a kindle fire. Love it. I had an iPad before and had both the Kindle and Nook app. When the iPad died, I was trying to decide between a Nook and a Kindle and the Kindle just has more features and options, including book options for low cost or to borrow. Its also a tablet, so you can do regular web browsing and install some other apps on it for additional uses.

I love the fact that I can have my entire library with me at all times. However, I still have, and even add to, a physical library as well. Baby steps! Haha!

I have a kindle fire and I like it alright. The thing I love though is the kindle reader software. I love that I can read on the kindle and then go to my phone and have it remember my spot from the kindle reader. And then I can read it on my laptop as well with the software. I like that I can highlight and make comments and look up things. Cool software.

I love my kindle! And its even more helpful now that I can automatically send my book downloads to the kindle, regardless of where I originally accepted it.

:techie-studyingbrown: I have to confess to having gone through several kindles and I also love my book books too. I have so many books that my husband is now building me a private library in his huge shop. I tend to collect first editions of my favorite books and book series. For Christmas my family gifted me two huge boxes full of new books; best of both worlds. I actually have a gone with the wind second edition but would love a first. My second is so old I have never opened it and have it sealed in plastic. All that said, I would never give my kindle up. I am an extremely avid reader and run through so many books on a weekly basis. I went through a 17 book series in the last two weeks and wouldn’t have been able to do that without my kindle. I now can read till my hearts content and not lug around several books when I travel. My kindle is light and stores copious amounts of content with the option to always add more. I am using the kindle fire right now so I don’t even need an additional tablet. If I could add my cell to the device I’d be in heaven lol. Best gift I ever received when the first version came out and best bit of tech I own to this day. Don’t hesitate any longer. You will not regret your decision.

I have Fire and Paperwhite. I prefer Paperwhite for reading (which I think is all it can do) because it has a non-glare screen and you can control the brightness and font size.

I like Fire for listening to audio books.

I do have a kindle, and personally it is my preferred reading form. I can read faster and in any position with my kindle (I don’t have to flip pages, there’s no screen rotation, I can read one-handed). This makes reading so much easier, and I can carry a lot more books in one compact device.

I don't have the kindle but I do have free kindle app free on android and after using it I can actually suggest any book lover to have a kindle because the app it self is a great one and even I am thinking of having one.

I am undecided about kindles, because I, like many others, like holding a physical book!

I have a Kindle, but the only thing it's good for is reading. The app store is very limited, the graphics are low, everything involving the internet takes a lifetime, the keyboard is slow. I really honestly don't like it and do not see what purpose it could possibly have, seeing as you can just have a normal smartphone and download the Kindle app.

My mom got my Kindle for free through a giveaway. It is not a purchase I would make. It is not worth my money, but that's just me.

I'm right in that category with ya! Nothing beats holding, smelling, feeling, looking at, and reading an actual physical copy of a book! I wouldn't trade a physical copy for the world ❤
