The Kindle's just a much better machine IMO, plus you can download samples, better selection of titles at much better prices, set up other people on your account, sales, font selection, free credits often, no stupid headers if you don't want them, lending library, loads of reasons.


Not always better prices. Some new release Kindle books are more expensive than the paper version.

I know, I don't pay 'em in general, but they're still better and with an easier process than their e-rivals.

Kobo is the one that immediately springs to mind.

I do prefer it in use to the Kindle, but I think Amazon probably has the better catalogue.
