I quite like the Kindle as although e-book readers seem high tech, the Kindle is actually refreshingly low tech!  Very easy to use platform, doesn't require a computer to setup or use and has a simple monochrome display.  The upshot is that it is very straightforward to read and use, easy on the eyes (the eInk display has to be seen to be believed) and returns an amazing battery life of around a month of usage.  I bought it for doing the TGO Challenge as I thought it would pass some time lying in the tent, whilst still weighing less than a paperback.  I have to say until I had a good play with one I was totally against the idea of an e-book reader, and I was definitely one of those people who claimed to prefer the feel of a paperback in my hands!  Truth told now those nights of lying uncomfortably in bed, trying to suspend an unweildy paperback that refuses to stay open above my head are long gone.  Simple, small, light, never lose your bookmark and just a tap of a button to hop to the next page.  Only real downside is you can't srumble up the pages and use them for starting a fire in an emergency ;)
