I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions about it. I’ve to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far! Kindle books are cheaper than actual books and I think I’ve saved over $100 for the books I’ve bought on the Kindle.
Other than books being cheaper, I think it can definitely help you to start and like reading because of the benefits it brought to us. At the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired… And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf… And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary look up without any additional thing but a Kindle. You can get a cover to protect the Kindle as well, so it will not be easy to break it
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can “read” books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…
There are quite a lot of free books (tips: if you’re outside the U.S. all the books will have US$2 added, but when you choose to download to computer when you check out, the $2 will be waived, and you can copy the books to your Kindle through USB cable), and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version.
Finally, in case you don’t know, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support… So take the chance if you want it.
Hope it helps
I think the Kindle is perfect for someone that isn’t really a reader but wants to be. Actually that just described myself. Ever since I’ve gotten out of school I have wanted to be a reader as I believe it is good for your mind to stay active in that way.
All the hassle of going to get a book and what about figuring out what you might like and than the money of getting the darn thing. Its more than what I in 20 years ever got done.
With my Kindle, which I really Love, I can be anywhere and click on amazon book store and browse all the books in the store right on the screen. All the books let you download a preview so you can see if you like that book or not before you buy it.
I’ve read more books in the last couple of months than I’ve read in the last 10 years.
I highly recommend the Amazon Kindle.
I own the Kindle 2, and it is easy for me to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 20 books so far.

I love my Kindle 2 very much. If you’re considering to get the Kindle, just get it and you won’t regret. Right now I’ve read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really like the idea that I can bring and store all the books with the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, it is really clear like reading books; and even I read with the device for long hours, I don’t feel tired. My only complaint is the white case, right now all the Kindles are in white color… I think it will be cool if I can have a black or deep blue color Kindle
With the free books and all the benefits, it can definitely get you started draw your interest on reading.
Hope this helps.
I love my Kindle … I use it everyday, I subscribe to my favorite newspaper, I mark up my books with annotations, highlights and bookmarks. Trust me Kindle is the best reader i ever use.
Honestly, not everyone likes to read. And the kindle is a pretty large investment for something you don’t know if you’ll like. I would recommend trying to pick up a few paperback books in different genres and seeing if any of them appeal to you and waiting to purchase a kindle until you know you enjoy reading.
Yeah, I think the Kindle must help you to read more.
