I love my Kindle. It has one annoying issue, in that someone went overboard making sure that the Next/Previous page buttons are plentiful and accessible. As a result it's a little difficult picking up the damned thing without accidentally turning the page.
That said, the ink is brilliant, the size is perfect, the portability aspect is great. What takes this from a kind of "Meh" experience to the blissful, joyous adventure that it is, is the built-in wi-fi. After almost 15+ years in tech, I don't go ga-ga over devices often anymore. The Kindle's changed my life. The ability to satisfy a reading urge anytime, anywhere is astonishing. Honestly, it's one of those features that's self-explanatory but that can't be truly appreciated until one experiences for oneself.

So I suppose I enjoy the Kindle :-)
