<p>I have a Kindle 3g and I am madly, passionately in love with it. I considered the Nook, but in my place of work, I often receive Amazon gift cards, so that was the tipping factor. My D and I are both huge readers and share a similar sensibility, so we can also share books. My 13-year old saved up and ordered a Kindle Fire for himself. It shipped TODAY!!! I take my Kindle everywhere. It is the greatest gift I have ever received and my most precious possession.</p>
