I bought the Kindle 2 back in 2009 for $400. At the time I justified the purchase with the idea that books would be cheaper on the Kindle 2 and I would not have to pay for shipping and handling. However, kindle books are not significantly cheaper on amazon. The kindle equivalent of a hard cover is usually significantly discounted, yet the kindle equivalent of a paperback is barely discounted. Therefore I would not suggest getting a kindle if you intend to read paperbacks.

In addition the kindle interface is clunky. The screen loads slowly and if you have a lot of books it is very annoying to navigate through your library. Another huge problem is that if you lose your kindle you lose all your books. Kindle books are not in a standard ebook reader format, this forces you to get another kindle when something happens to your kindle.

Most importantly the kindle’s battery has a tendency to break. It seems that this is a fairly common problem. When I contacted kindle support they tried two ways to reset the kindle and then informed me that I would have to get a new kindle. It seems ridiculous to me that they do not offer to repair your kindle. If the battery in your laptop breaks you can send it back to the manufacturer to get a new battery. Even if your laptop is out of warranty you pay a small fee to get it serviced. It is illogical to me that I can’t pay for a new battery instead of having to buy a new kindle.

There are many ebook readers available and the Kindle is one of the most expensive of all the ebook readers(some are as low $90).I strongly suggest that you shop around before purchasing a kindle.
