I’ve joined the Kindle crowd! My new Kindle arrived today. I played around with it or for a bit and I’m impressed. The screen is amazing and the cover I bought (one of the standard covers, not lighted) is very classy. I also really like being able to organize my books into collections, something you can’t do on an iPad.
Yes, I have an iPad too, but I decided to get a Kindle as well because of Amazon. The iBookstore doesn’t have much of a selection and they don’t have any technical books, which is the main reason I wanted to have an ereader. Amazon basically has any book that exists and for that reason I don’t have a problem with their proprietary format. Plus I love Amazon as a company and the Kindle just reinforces that.
