I’m with you lawhawk! I want an ipad but if someone gave me an Kindle or Nook I’d put off getting the ipad! I read like a fish swim through water and my library has RWC gnashing his teeth every time I buy a new book.

Kindle doesn’t do free. It also doesn’t nickle and dime ya. You pay for the kindle device. Then you pay $10, $15, whatever, for each book. That’s it. No monthly charges, no charges to sync it so you can read on your computer a book you kindlebought. If your kindle device dies, and it’s out of warranty, you’ll have to buy a new one or just live with kindlesync from then on, but on the plus side, all the old kindlebooks you bought are still yours and you can upload them to your shiny new kindle without having to rebuy them.

It’s very straightforwardly capitalistic in the good sense. No tricks, no schemes, just informed buyer and informed seller striking a deal or not.
