Is Kindle Worth the Money?

[looper]

IMO, no it's not worth it. The ebooks usually cost just slightly less than hardcover books, and usually more than the paperback versions.
If you read a ton and don't want to bring several books with you; guess it makes some sense. Only advantage is basically convenience, although you can't read while the plane is taking off..
If you like to buy new gadgets; sure go for it

I've had my Kindle for a few years now. The ebook version of books is MUCH less than the hardcover versions. Most new ebooks are $9.99/12.99.

I've really enjoyed it.

Had a kindle. Moved on to the Nexus 7. Yeah baby.

personally I don't get it. Nobody read books before, so why would they now? Because they bought a tech gadget? I guess that flies, and it seems to have worked...

Wow, hope that was a joke..."nobody read books before"? What crowd of apes do you hang with?

I'm going to do that within the next month. I've enjoyed my rooted Fire but want the latest updates.

The Kindle is a great e-reader. The Kindle fire is obsolete now that the nexus 7 is out. Plus, amazon is reportedly releasing a new Kindle Fire in a few months anyway.

If you like to read books, a regular Kindle is a fantastic investment. It's incredibly light and can be held with one hand for hours. Even a nexus 7 gets tiresome to hold after awhile...
