i got my kindle reader several months ago. it's a big part of my reading experience but not the only piece. i read on my computer, borrow from the public or mark twain library

download audiobooks to my mp3 player sometimes and still buy many printed books. each has it's own place in my life.

not all books are available in kindle format and sometimes i just need to scan a printed book. so i'd advice anyone thinking about the purchase to review their prior year's reading habits and check to see if and where the kindle might have been useful.
i do enjoy the kindle's ability to switch from small to large print or even text to voice at the push of a button.-
