Mrs M has the £50 one from amazon, the little built in light is just the job - pricey, but nice-y

They're just as good as paper, I've never seen anything like it, a phone/TFT is pretty much un-readable whilst a kindle is perfectly readable. I'd have said it was science fiction but it's science fact.missingskin said:I am getting back into my book reading again, so i thought I would ask a few of you who have them a few questions before I take the plunge.
I have read the amazon page, but would prefer to get answers from the people who have used them....
1. How are they to view in sunlight (my phone screen is not good...)
Yes, I'd say so as you can get those "impulse buy" books! For example, if you're on a train and you want to get a copy of today's paper (at a little extra).missingskin said:2. Is it worth springing the extra for the 3g version as I have wi-fi at home.
You're perfectly able to get books from any source, PDF for example is readable.missingskin said:3. Do I have to buy all my books from Amazon or can you get them from other places.
The title range is astonishingly good, although some shaving related books are not available. You can get a better idea by looking at the kindle store.missingskin said:4. What is the range of titles like and what is an average cost per book.
I've only had to charge mine twice since I un-boxed it at Christmas, they generally last an incredibly long time between charges, but I'll be honest, I've had the 3g and wi-fi turned off for most of the time.missingskin said:5. How long will the battery last between charges
missingskin said:Sorry about all the questions but nothing is better than getting feedback from users rather than the people who want to sell you the thing.......

The light in the amazon £50 cover draws power from the device so it will last as long as you have charge.
What lights are people using at the moment? I can't see myself paying £50 for a cover.
I was thinking about one of these:
