I bought the original version of the Kindle and still use it daily- I like the small size and ability to carry a lot of books- not unusual for me to have two or three going at once so it's easy to carry them this way. As W2R pointed out, the E ink on the Kindle is very readable and really works for me. I like that it's easy to read outside plus I can change the font size.
I recently bought an Ipad and have the Kindle app there as well and keep the two devices in synch with the books I'm reading or plan to read on both devices. I think the Kindle is better for most reading but one nice feature of the Ipad app is that you can read in a room without lights- I change the screen to white text on a black background, then reduce the brightness and can read in bed without bothering the DW.
I was planning to give my Kindle to my son since I can now use the Ipad app but going to keep them both- the Kindle is MUCH better for reading outside in sunlight. He was disappointed, lol.
