So you've bought one of those nifty 6" Kindles..

Are you finding that you're reading more? I'm awfully tempted to get the 6" version because that looks like it would easily fit in my jacket pocket. Likes/Dislikes?

    I saw your question languishing without an answer in the archives and thought I'd see if I can still be of use-

    I don't have Kindle, but I got a Nook simple touch for Christmas, which I think is a pretty similar device (I did a fair amount of comparison when deciding). I don't find that I'm reading more since I was an avid reader to start with, but it is MUCH more convenient. My nook is lightweight, stores multiple books at a time, and keeps a charge for a week or sometimes more depending on how many hours per day I am reading. Having the ability to buy books from anywhere with a wifi connection and easily download free library books through my laptop is awesome. You will need a light for reading in dark conditions as the screen (on any e-ink device) is not backlit, but there are some covers that come with built-in lights or you can get a clip on reading light. I ended up going with the nook for a few reasons, but the most important was that it supports Adobe PDF books and Adobe EPub books, both of which are the most widely used for public domain books and the most easily transferred from the library (it's possible to get Kindle books through SPL now, but Amazon requires you to sign in through their website to get the files from the library).
