Agree with those who think it's weird to pay installments on such a cheap thing. I have an old Kindle (black and white, no frills) and use it quite a bit, but with some reservations. 1. I read super-fast, and my thumbs get tired from having to turn the page so fast all the time. I really prefer two pages in front of me, like in a hardcopy book, but oh well. I call my repetitive strain issues "Kindle Thumb." 2. I like to read in the bathtub. So I buy paperbacks for tub reading. 3. I do book reviews for Historical Novels Review (not plugging anything…just saying) and find it is easier to flip around and refer back to the book if it is in hardcopy. I do review books sent to me in egalley format--the trick is to take really copious notes while reading it on the Kindle--which is do-able, but kind of a pain. 4. When we down-sized, I set myself a limit of 12 boxes of books and no more to be moved to our new, little house. We have two 72" bookshelves in the kitchen, and books have to fit on them or else they have to go. I find I do a constant, ongoing editing and culling on those shelves, but it keeps the "keepers" accessible, and gets rid of the "once is enough" books.
