I started e-reading when my business was such that I was traveling 2-3 days a week. Between my ThinkPad® and its peripherals, paper files, etc. my carry on felt like it weighed 40 lbs. Adding in a big hunk of a dead tree for entertainment was killing me. "Our Company's Computer Guy" suggested, in a condescending tone, that I utilize the PDA I was already carrying to eliminate the books! I soon had the Adobe epub app running on my laptop and pda. Even with all the hassle involved with downloading, docking, syncing, etc. having my recreational reading in just few ounces of ipaq was a pleasure. I don't believe I've purchased a book or periodical in print form since then. Get the Kindle, if you are an avid reader you love it.

No additional light source is required. In addition to the books for sale, there 90 odd thousand free books available from Amazon.

You can surf the web, or participate on your favorite CHL discussion board, as I am right now on my Kindle Fire.
