I was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice. Does anyone here use a wireless reading device such as the Kindle from Amazon or know anything about them? I looked into them a few years back and have recently seen a couple books that you can only get via download and was wondering if I should perhaps look into them again. I don't know anything about them other than the Kindle is $300 which seems like quite a bit. Books are so expensive and from what I understand, the downloads for these devices are cheaper so I could possible save $$ in the long run. Is there a good variety? Is there a brand that is better than the other? Are they pretty much universal?

Any advice anyone could give me would be appreciated.
