The Kindle is a great device, especially if you travel. Don't have to carry books, newspapers, magazines, even documents...all can just go on your kindle. The electronic ink technology is great...doesn't wash out in the sun. The big difference between the kindle and the roval Sony is the wireless capabilities built into the kindle. If you don't travel much, this feature might not be that important to you, but being able to download anew book from most anywhere is really valuable to me.
The form factor is good, though perhaps not great. The back advance button are big and a bit in the way until you get used to them. Then, their size becomes a nice feature. I read my kindle while I am exercising on the elliptical machine and it's nice to just reach up and hit the big button to advance.
I say thumbs up to the kindle.
