I've got the Kindle app on my iPad and am trying to train myself to read on it - this is to try and lighten the luggage load when going on holiday in July. It is still not the same as a book and I can't use it in bed, so I've downloaded a few freebies to see how I get on. Still need a book to read in bed though!
Oh I do agree about the cover for the kindle, it does make it more like a book You can't beat an e-reader (kindle or whatever) for holidays, it is so portable!
