A dear friend told me to try a Kindle, I read a lot BTW, I told her I liked the feel of the book. But I tried one.

I bought it.

I love it.

Geex they are great.

As far as Aussies are concerned a normal paperback in the popular lists will cost about  AUS$20-30, about the same in USA dollars on conversion.

So in the last two days I have bought three books and saved $30, since the kindle cost $180 I'll be in front in no time. And I got used to the feel of using it in minutes.

I can really recommend them!!!!

I have a Barnes & Noble Nook tablet, and I love the thing.

(I even have my own book on it. I guess that's a little vain.)

Yes! I love my little kindle touch!! I was planning on getting the fire so i could watch netflix at school.. but I just loved the grey paper looking screen on the touch so I went for that. Not only are books a lot cheaper to get on there, I can get many of my school books on there which lightens my backpack load and there are a ton of free books you can get too. I adore this little device! Though I still buy cheapo paperback fantasy books.. they are just so pretty to look at <3

I bought my mum a Kindle paperwhite for Christmas.  I opened it to set it up for her and put some books on I know she would like.  I ended up keeping it myself and buying her another one. We both are now constantly reading on them these days.

I have a Nook HD+ (won it at work)

Love it love it love it.

And the nook has 233,000 more books than Kindle does

But I dont think Aussies can use Nooks right now

I have both a Kindle Paperwhite and a Nook Glowlight now, because I bought the Nook in order to get the side-lighted capability and then the new lighted Kindle came out a few months later. I love both of them (and a fair number of library books are only available in ePub format, so I'm still glad to have the Nook, which can read them).

We currently have 26 over-filled bookcases, so I'm starting to have to be careful about how many print books I buy.

I own a first generation Kindle Fire. I love it, but it still has issues (no dedicated GPU and poor battery life). I'm just glad they're keeping the price of the current generation of the tablets within reach when I have the cash to upgrade. Especially since I love to flash mine with Jellybean and play with the various CPU settings. :3

I love my kindle touch.

I read so much out of print stuff that I can download a pdf or convert an epub and read things I would either have to find by chance, buy a copy made 90+ years ago that full apart or buy an overpriced study edition or print on demand. Now it's free.

It's not perfect, the books usually miss any useful critical apparatus, but the text itself is there and that's the most important part.

I may get a kindle later on in the year. My sister has a nook but is considering getting a kindle.

I have a Sony eReader.  I hardly ever use it because I find having a book in my hands so much more comfortable.  It's also easier on my eyes than any of the other e-readers I've used.  >.>  But I will use the eReader occasionally for free books.
