I love my Kindle. It is absolutely my favorite electronics toy that I own. I haven’t written a review on it just because I didn’t see the need with everyone else writing reviews, but I’m breaking down and joining the ranks because I love it that much. 
I initially owned the original Kindle 1, but due to my own stupidity, I broke it by stepping on it. Needless to say that within minutes I was already missing it. I took some time to figure out if I wanted another Kindle (I did not get the extended warranty for it) or if I would switch to a Nook or some other ereader. After checking out the others and testing them out in the stores, I decided to stick with the Kindle. I bought the new Kindle 2 with the global wireless. After thinking about it for a while, I really wanted to try and fix my old Kindle, too…I ended up calling Amazon and they replaced my old one with a refurbished one for $99, which seemed like a good deal to me–I just had to send the old one back.
So, now I have 2 Kindles, but I pretty much stick with the K2 because I like the button positions better (no more accidentally paging forward if I lean the kindle into myself as I stop to chat with my husband) and I like how thin and light it is. I use it for hours nearly every day. I am an avid reader and read about 2-3 books per week. Not all on the kindle, but I would say about 50% of my reading is now on the Kindle. I love the e-ink technology and it puts no strain on my eyes. I bought the extended warranty for the new Kindle, so if anything happens to it, I’m covered this time.
My small issues with it revolve around the file types it accepts. I really wish that I could use epub files on it since that is what my library uses. I also belong to a website that will email books to the Kindle, but they are in .pdf format. They do not convert on arrival to the Kindle, so I am stuck with just the .pdf file, when I would prefer it to be like a regular ebook. The website won’t let me mail
