One should also add that most LP editions cost more than the regular
ones as well, whereas Kindle books cost less.
My DH has been frustrated trying to read ebooks in the past, so two
weeks ago he bought a Kindle after I mentioned I was starting to give
in to temptation. (I have to wait till my birthday in January for
mine, but I have borrowing rights as needed). He's read more in the
week and a half since he got it than in all the ten years we've been
married. Specifically, he's reading books in their entirety, whereas
before he'd quit at some point in the middle.
Now, of course, he also has eReader on his iPhone (Thanks, Scott and
Steve!!), which he also finds comfortable to read on. The main issue
with the iPhone, of course, being the battery doesn't last as long as
the Kindle's.
And our Kindle sales have grown steadily since it came out. Most of
our available titles were moved over from Mobipocket, although I've
added a few directly because I can do that from my Mac whereas I have
to mess with the Windoze box to convert to Mobi.
