So my first concern about Kindles was that it was great for first reads (want it, it's here, in your home, at the beach, where ever, in your hand, really in an instant!) but I am a frequent re-reader and was concerned about that. But then I really started to make good use of the write your own notes or make your own highlights option. Now as I pass sentences that make me smile or think or just are beautifully written, I highlight them. So if I think of the of book and try to recall the sentence I want, all I have to do is look at my notes, and there it is. No more flipping back and forth through pages getting myself lost. Everything I want, at my fingertips.
I would still encourage Amazon to have pictures besides their title listings - I don't judge books by their covers, but I still remember books more from their covers than their titles. I take most books off my kindle, and down load them as I want. I guess I could hold them in folders on my kindle, but moving them to and fro is effortless and leaves my kindle with all it's memory intact.
I know that I love my kindle, (above is the pretty apple green cover I chose for it) because when I was recently given the choice between reading a book in paperback or on kindle, I chose the kindle. I have evolved :)
