Pros and Cons of Purchasing a Kindle

My top reasons for purchasing a Kindle include:

1) Buy books at a lower cost (or free)
2) Create my own books
3) Read previews of random books (Amazon often offers the first chapter as a preview for a Kindle book)
4) I do NOT like reading long articles on a computer screen!

Mormon Matters has a nice pros/cons assessment on the Kindle as a reading device.

And the competition!


Despite the reasons I had for buying a Kindle, I have been thrilled with the competition.  Sony and Barnes and Noble have challenged Amazon and that works out better for everyone.  But that's not all...


The Consumer Electronic Show (CES) brought some pretty nice offerings:

Check out the Mirasol, the Pixel Qi and the load of offerings from the me-too's. And I patiently wait to see what Apple is up to.

eReaders will play a completely different game in the coming year!
