Got my Kindle 2 yesterday and it is my first e-book reader (other than my iPhone if you count it as such).
Pros:
Cons:
I think this is just a matter of getting used to it. Thankfully I have 30 days to try it out and send it back if I can't get the hang of it. My biggest issue is the screen contrast just wish it was white not gray, like a book.

Pros:
- I love the form factor - very slim and easy to carry around.
- Having wireless updates/books beamed in is very nice.
- Love the ability to do more, i.e. surf the web, etc.
- Also appreciate that I can put my own PDFs on there for reading/research later
Cons:
- Screen is smaller than I expected -- smaller than most books.
- Background/screen is not as white as I expected -- I was hoping for an actual white background with black text for the maximum contrast possible.
- Need a bit more light than a regular book to be able to read adequately.
- Concerned about trend of e-book pricing, esp. where paperback book is same price or cheaper.
