So far, I adore my new Kindle (Latest Generation) with 3G access.

I struggled with whether or not to purchase it--and batted around with whether to buy a Nook or a Kindle...and then what kind of Kindle. In the end, speed (especially with booting-up) and battery life won and I went with the Kindle.

I've been enjoying my new toy for over a week now; I'm surprised at how easy it is on my eyes... I'm not sure if it's the contrast (i.e. darker background than most paperbacks), but the reading experience seems to be easier on my eyes--which allows me to read for longer amounts of time without that nagging eye strain.

I was worried that I would miss the tactile experience of a paper book, but I was surprised that I didn't... Well, I do have plenty of paper books--and not every book is available via Kindle, so I think I'm safe from completely letting go of all my hard copies.

I highly recommend the 3G--especially if you travel a lot or are regularly in areas where wi-fi may not be readily available. I adore "sampling" and then either discarding or buying--it's like having an entire library at my fingertips!

My only criticism may seem persnickety (and shared by others): the publishing system that Kindle uses is inferior to Nook's... This means that sometimes proper nouns aren't capitalized and other editorial faux pas. But, hey, typographical errors are in most manuscripts...

Happy Kindling, ya'll!
