Kindle 2 is now the new love of my life. I have re-discovered the joy of reading and rarely watch TV or speak to my husband....poor guy he's been replaced (Just kidding). My only complaint would be the tremendous free Christian content, not that I mind reading it. However when all the Christain characters are freed from fault and non-Christians are painted as defective causing evil, I want to barf. I prefer when characters are more complex. In addition, I would like to have references to all the beautiful standby/sleep graphics. Other than these small complaints, there is a huge amount of public domain books I enjoy. It's wonderful visiting with the classics and seeing how writing styles have changed throughout the years.
I find the screen very readable. In fact, a student of mine with legally blindness and a 20/200 acuity has visual fatigue after reading 30 minutes of large print: He was able to read my Kindle for 55 minutes on a public bus at the largest font setting. He said that he could have continued reading. I find reading much easier on the eyes, being over 40 and having long-arm-syndrome, than reading a print book. A book light is very helpful in dark situations. Shopping on the Kindle can be difficult, however. It would be nice while shopping for books and reading reviews that the print size could also be changed and book covers can be magnified
