>It's kind of hard to explain why I love the Kindle so much
i feel the same way. I've never really loved any piece of tech the way i love my kindle(s). An iPad or a Phone is just a tool, but i've got a totally irrational emotional attachment to my kindle. It's kind of like the irrational emotional attachment proponents of paper books talk about when explaining why they could never buy an e-reader.
I have given my iPad(s) away to family, even bought a few for family, but I never keep one. All I need is my phone and my kindle. I even take it when I take the bicycle out for a ride.
I have probably read more books in the few years I have owned a Kindle than in the forty preceding it.
Now I have found difficulty getting my niece and nephew to read on it, they seem very much at that stage of "its not color its old". So when they get e ink to color maybe that will help.
I am a little disappointed in the price jumps for the e ink models, it seems like there is a model missing.
