I received a Kindle 3G (with Free 3G and WiFi) for Christmas. I love this thing! It's small enough to fit in a handbag, and will now be part of the daily equipment I tote around with me. Public transit, sitting in airports, waiting anywhere will now be much more enjoyable and productive.
I've bought a few books (the sticker shock for ebooks is still settling in) - and have downloaded over a hundred free ones from Project Gutenberg. PG is a fantastic resource for classics which are no longer subject to copyright.
Mr. Boe recommended Calibre to manage my ebook files. I'm quite happy with the program - it is easy to learn and well designed.
My only lament is that I cannot convert the thousands of Real Books we have into ebooks - or at least get a discount for an ebook because I already paid for them!
