I love that the Kindle gives me lots of reading choices wherever I happen to be. The battery life (with wifi off) is wonderful. The option of increasing the font size is great for my aging eyes, especially if my reading glasses aren't handy. Most classics are free (I'm a bit of a Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte geek). I just cleared out a lot of mass market paperbacks that I probably won't touch again.
