+2 for the Kindle. I bought one for my wife for Christmas last year even though she had said she wouldn't use one. Something about feeling the weight of the actual book in her hands and turning the pages, blah blah blah. Once she had it in her hands, she loaded a book on there to try it and now she won't go back to paper. After she had it for a couple days and finished her first book on there, I decided I needed to try it, so I loaded a book for me and I was hooked. I ordered mine that day and neither of us have ever looked back. The Kindle is VERY easy on the eyes as it uses an e-paper technology that really looks and feels just like reading from paper. There is no backlight so you don't have the eye strain that comes with trying to read on an iPad or other type of backlit device.
