Has anybody used a Kindle? If so, what do you think of it?

Exactly. If we move again, I'm going to need an extension. Might be a worthwhile toy for us both.

Which I suppose will happen here too. I'm tempted but I still like a real book and I'd be frightened of dropping the Kindle in the bath.

I'd get withdrawal symptoms if I had no books around the walls. Bare bookcases.

Nah I prefer traditional books...soo much better in my opinion.

You can enjoy it more...or at least I do. But thats just me...besides when I buy my first home I want a mini library of all the books I love

I wouldn't mind one for traveling though.

I prefer the traditional type. I like a room with lots of books in. Holds the heat in, too.

My friend got one and he loves it! It looks cool, he's let me try it out to see if I like it. It might be worth the investment. I like to annotate in my books, but I guess there is an option for that or a way to do that. Also, you can highlight a word and it'll pull up the dictionary if you need it!

Though I'm not sold on one yet. I like my books.

I like the idea of dictionary, that's a good feature. I like mine too, though and I can't see myself living in a book-free house.

I can't either, there is just something about the printed page instead of it being digital.

Also, I feel I'd start downloading books on the kindle and pretty soon I'd be broke and haven't even read the books

Exactly. In my case, greed would get the better of me and the machine would burst.
