I've got a kindle and I love it. It only really works for reading though (although I do have one of the old American ones so the newer British ones may be better). It does have internet but is really slow. I wasn't sure about it before I got it as I love books and only bought it to go to Mexico to save on the luggage (I can read a book in an evening so read a lot on a two week holiday) but actually I tend to buy things for the kindle rather than normal books now
