Wondering if anyone here uses the Kindle. If so, would you recommend it? What version did you get? Where should I buy mine?
Thanks






Might get shit for this but
Might get shit for this but oh well, why use a Kindle when you can use an iPad which does so much more than a Kindle and does it so much more effectively. Also you can essentially get every book on an iPad that you can get on a Kindle.

The kindle without 3g is like 130 bucks. Well worth it.

I got a kindle like a month ago and its well worth the 130 I spent on it. Plus an ipads great and all but the kindle is much easier to read on.

Read an interesting piece in the WSJ I think about the Nook. Since its a color screen, you can use it as an iPad and even run android OS on it. You buy a nook and download a certain hack and it turns it into a tablet that functions much like an iPad running Anroid. Pretty sweet.

Kindle and iPad are really
Kindle and iPad are really different stuff. You cannot read for 2 hours on an iPad (w/o killing your eyes), and you can do much more than that with the Kindle's e-ink display. If you want to read notes, books... no doubt a Kindle is much better.
The problem with the color Nook is that for reading purposes is just like an iPad. It has the same type of screen, and even if you reduce the brightness in either the iPad or the Nook it is really hard on your eyes to read something for a long time.
I bought my Kindle a few months ago and I am really happy with it. I am no longer traveling with a backpack full of books, and although I still continue to buy my "reference" books in hardcopy (still want to highlight and include notes the old way), I increasingly buy more and more for the Kindle.

I have an iPad and a kindle. Love the iPad but it kills my eyes and I'm not comfortable bringing it to the beach, outside, etc... 130 is nothing and even If it's just to have something you wouldn't mind misplacing or getting stolen, I think it's well worth the money.
Sounds good. Going to drop
Sounds good. Going to drop the money on the Kindle!
Now would you guys suggest getting just the Wifi or get it with 3G? I have wireless at my place and figure i could always get wifi from the mcdonalds / starbucks if I needed to download something... but part of me wants to get the 3G, just in case. Suggestions?

I'm pretty sure the 3G
I'm pretty sure the 3G service is free, you just pay a extra for the device. Not sure if that affects your decision.
The 3G question comes down to
The 3G question comes down to this, where do you learn about books you want to read? If the majority of the time its in places where you cant get wifi then 3G makes sense if not its just a added feature. Besides it costs money to send pdfs and stufff like that over 3G but is free over wireless

I have a Kindle 3g and I love it. I find the experience very similar to reading a book and had no problem reading for four hours straight on a flight last week. Four hours of reading using an Ipad would be pretty rough. If you need to do a lot of reading the Kindle is your best bet if you value your eyes but it can't compete with the Ipad anywhere else really.
