My wife and I both have Kindles. I actually enjoyed going to the library and looking at all the new books with their flashy covers. Then it was fun bringing them home and reading them. I usually got hard backs.
However I had a shoulder replacement due to an accident on my bicycle last year. After that it became difficult to pick up and hold those heavy books. To read the Dome by Steven King would be especially hard since it is 1200 pages and must weigh 3 or 4 pounds.
I picked the Kindle over the nook strictly based on weight since since I didn't know anything about either of them.
My wife has physical problems due to a car accident so also has problems reading library books.
So we have Kindles for the simple reason that we have difficulty reading library books.
So what was the real reason you bought your Kindle?
