Got my Kindle in January, too
My Son gave me a Kindle for Christmas and it arrived several weeks later. I too had reservations about reading in a "non-book" environment, but quickly found that I enjoy the Kindle experience.
Being able to change the font size is very handy since I don't always have my reading glasses with me. I've downloaded maybe 15 books so far... about half were at no charge. Have also downloaded several issues of different newspapers. Never had any problems establishing a network connection and sometime hit a 3G connection on LSL square. The downside of Kindle --- can only download within the US. We travel quite a bit and I was hoping I could use it to read USA Today, etc. when outside the States -- but doing that requires hooking Kindle to computer, downloading the paper to the computer and then dumping it over to the Kindle, so not very handy.
We are snow-bird renters so not in TV, but will be back in January.
