I love my Kindle. Probably even more so than my Sony ereader.

Just a warning re reading the kindle in bed. You can get quite a rude awakening if you fall asleep and drop it and it hits you in the face!   :D

I love my kindle too. I recently upgraded to the  paperwhite and am glad I did as  hated the previous touch screen. I hated it so much I gave  it away and bought another but am now really happy  with my paperwhite and lighter Kindle.

I love my kindle too and, loathe as I am to admit it, I really don't know what I would do without it now (panic and hit Amazon for another one all in the same breath  :( )

Paperwhite here as well - 10/10. I don't know how they could improve on this cos it's perfect for me.

Paperwhite here also. I dont' like the touch screen but love that it is backlit. I tend to read once DH is already asleep so can easily hide under the covers and not wake him up. Sue, I've woken with a real fright a number of times, it also makes a very load noise when it hits the timber floors after I fall asleep holding it  ;D

There is now the Kindle "Voyage" available for pre-order :

The all new Kindle Voyage features the highest resolution e-ink screen at 300ppi making it look more than ever like the printed page. This means crisper text that is even easier to read. Page turns are also now more comfortable, particularly for those who like to hold their kindle in one hand. The outer bezel is now smart touch responsive and can be used to turn the page - great for those who missed having page turn buttons on their Kindle Paperwhites.

Other Key Features :
Thinnest Kindle Ever
Adaptive front light ensures the best reading in all lighting conditions
Available in both Wifi and Wifi + Free 3G options
