I was in a dilemma of whether it'll be at par with the hardcover books. Well... it's a wonderful alternative for hardcover books. Size is comfortable. Readability is good. The font size can be adjusted. Other features which I love: 1) Dictionary/ Wiki/ Thesaurus instantly available for any word or phrase. 2) Highlight texts when required. And can be shared. 3) Bookmarks easily set & searched. 4) PDFs also readable easily. 5) No strain on the eyes. 6) no distractions (best thing... which is not available on other electronic devices I know of)
Some critics told me to buy the paperwhite edition as there would be a backlight to read in the dark. Well.. If I can't read a hardcover in dark, I don't want to read a Kindle as well !!
Lastly... Thanks to Amazon for this lovely product....
