Subject: I love my Kindle. I have had it for over a year now. I take it everywhere...

It goes on trips with me and even to work. I also have an IPad which I also have the Kindle app down loaded on. Most of the time, I prefer the Kindle. It is smaller. I do use my IPad for everything else, though. The Kindle freebies are great and I have my amount set at $9.99. I have never gone over that, though. Usually, it is the freebies, $.99, or about $2.99 that I download.

Yes, I still read books. There is something about just holding a book and turning the pages, but for travelling or going to work, it's the Kindle.

[> How long do the batteries last, or how often do you have to recharge? I commute for about 1 1/2 hours each way every day, and could use an e-reader, because of the weight and because I like to read more than one book at a time, depending on my mood in that moment. But I already forget to recharge my phone all the time, and it would be so inconvenient when the battery dies on th e-reader on my way to work! Since that never happens with paperbacks, I still carry those around with me. But I do run out of shelf space.. -- Jam who still loves regular books, but would like to switch for the casual -entertainment, one-read only-paperbacks, that I donīt need on my shelves forever, 15:40:05 06/21/12 Thu [1]

[> [> I have a nook - the newer one with a touch screen - not the fancy one- the one that reads like a book. I can read for hours at a time for days before it needs to be recharged. Supposedly the battery is supposed to remain charged for two weeks -- chris k, 22:27:57 06/21/12 Thu [1]

[> [> Like the others have said, the batteries last for a long time and they are quick to recharge. My Kobo can be charged in a wall charger or by usb on the computer. It's not a pain in the butt like charging cell phones. A 1 1/2 hour commute is simply not a problem. You can fly across continents and not need to recharge. -- Cece, 14:09:27 06/24/12 Sun [1]
