What Kindle do you have?

[wurzel]

Paperwhite.

Never owned an eReader before & I always used to diss them.

It's now my favourite gadget

Got a Kindle Keyboard, the last generation where the only choice was 3G or no 3G before they brought in non-keyboard and touch-screen versions. Mine has 3G which is very cool, free store and downloads anywhere in the world.

I mainly buy the same books I would have before, but also use it as an opportunity to read some classics when I can be bothered.

It is my favourite gadget, and I don't even travel much. I have been tempted by the new Paperwhite versions as I read in bed a lot and the wife requires the lights be off but am too stingy to replace something which works perfectly well.

What is a kindle?

Do you like reading?

If the answer is "No" you don't need to know what a Kindle is.

Mine is a WiFi only, no keyboard, ordinary screen, kindle 4 or 5.

I have bought quite a few books but I still buy a lot of paper because maths and technical diagrams don't work that well on the kindle, and tbh I sort of prefer paper books. The manning computer books are quite good as as you buy the paper version you get a kindle version too.

Mine sounds similar - smallish, no keyboard, wifi, screen.

For books to read it's great, for reference or studying less so, although that could be because I've not learned what I need to do to flick to where I want to go. Dunno how many books I've got - downloaded lots of free ones, many of which I haven't read yet.

25k books from a torrent. Not enough time to read em all Have to use Calibre - Ebook management to keep track of them.

This.

Kindle 3G with keyboard. I have the app installed on my Android tablet and Android phone, but very, very, very rarely read them on there. Use the actual Kindle a fair bit - it's the most regularly used gadget in the house, apart from the tablet now that PvZ2 and Angry Birds Go are out.
