The Kindle is expensive... though less so now. It does provide something that the others don't and that's a free 3G connection and some limited browsing capability.

It's e-ink... so, good visibility in bright light (e.g. sunlight) and you can place the silly thing on a copier and copy it.

We have 3 of them in our family. Mine was purchased from somebody else (to help them out economically). I use mine mainly for PDFs. All of ours are tied to the same Amazon account... so we can read each other's books.

Is the Nook better? Maybe. It wasn't around when we bought ours (all of ours are Kindle2 or Kindle2 DX).

We like our Kindle's even at the exorbitant prices that we paid for them. I took my Kindle DX with me overseas for a couple of weeks and loaded maps and books about places I was visiting... very useful. Easy to carry and the battery lasts a long time. And you can even put some MP3's on it (though it's NOT a feature rich player). Part of the time was on a boat... and it was easy to use in the open deck in direct sunlight.
