Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Less

Pros Bright screen, weight, size
Cons Hotsync, screen calibration
Recommended it? Yes

In early September my 2 year old Palm Zire 71 fried itself. One day it was charging, got really hot, and simply stopped working. I knew it was coming. For a couple weeks the battery didn't hold a charge and always felt warm, so when the PDA finally fried, I was little more than annoyed.

An eBook Reader With Some Thought Behind It

Pros Well thought out and capable
Cons Expensive to buy and to populate
Recommended it? Yes

Cons No case, no covers for many books, no pictures with periodicals.
