I have a kndle and love it. I think it is a good buy, very easy on the eyes, no clutter of books, always have something to read. If you are an avid reader it is worth it. I have had mine about a year. There is a new version and I think some nice updates so, from my end I would recommend only if you are going to use it. If you are not a daily reader maybe it might not be the most practical thing to invest in but, for me who always has 2-3 books going I have enjoyed. Good luck.
