I am such a Luddite, since I really don't think my Kindle 2 is all that.

Good - It's great for travel (which I haven't done much of lately). Download speed is very fast, and the Kindle library is pretty extensive. Battery life is good.

Not so good - I found it awful for newspapers and magazines. E Ink is slow - there's a very noticeable lag as you turn a page.

I got the Kindle (as my Xmas 2008 gift to myself) because I thought I might wean myself from a few more paper products, but so far, this plan isn't working. I still prefer to hold a book in my hands - to look at the color pictures on the front and back covers, to see my progress (or lack of) as I make my way through the book. Yep, I'm a Luddite.
