Ditto the Amazon gift card!
I love my Kindle! I've always been a voracious reader, but my vision makes it impossible to read a book without a magnifying glass -- a surefire headache -- which pretty much destroyed a huge part of my life.
Kindle has brought reading back, as I can enlarge the text to where reading is comfortable. The only bad thing is not having a reason to visit and support the world's greatest bookstore, Portland's Powell's Books. It also means no more touch and smell of books, and no books for my library (I do plan on buying the physical books anyway, just to have them -- at least with my favorites.)
I briefly considered an iPad, being a Mac user, but decided instead to spend the big money on my MacBook Pro and got the Kindle just for reading.
