You could start with the Kindle app on your phone, see if you like it and if you like the content that's available on Kindle and then commit to the physical device.

I like switching from the device to the app (the last read page is synced across devices) whenever I'm around and left the Kindle home.

If you commute on public transportation to an office a Kindle (or an e-reader in general) is a precious thing. You're already likely carrying a computer in your backpack, why add a 500 pages book :D ?

Last but not least: the true value of a Kindle manifests itself whenever you have to move from an apartment to another :P

Update:

I took your suggestion and tried the Kindle app on my phone. I had a prime subscription, turns out I get a lot of free reading with my prime account. Guess, I'll be investing in a kindle soon.
