I did have a Kindle (with keyboard) until I accidentally dropped it. Display's now black and white only (top half black, bottom half white). There's a lot of things I liked about it, most of them have already been mentioned. What I never liked was the PDF reader function. PDFs were hardly readable on the 6" display and zooming in and out was useless. Also I never liked to use it for technical books. For example code blocks in IT books were displayed as images, which wasn't really usable. But for all other books it's been a great device. Nowadays I'm using the app on my phone (and physical books from a public library).
