I was pretty negative on the Kindle over time. Mostly because of its abysmal typography and fonts. But I bought a Kindle 3 because "it's so cheap" and because I plan to release some books for it and wanted to test direct. And.. I'm won over. The typography still isn't great, but the form factor and the ease with which I can read the screen for longer periods is much welcomed.

I bought one a while ago and find I don't use it as much as I'd hoped: http://jseliger.com/2010/09/29/the-last-word-on-this-version... .

Some ebooks from Amazon, using the azw format, have better typography, which is controlled by the publisher. It's almost like a scan of the source text. For example, there can be variation between instances of a character, as you see in some printed books. ("Against The Gods" exhibits this.)

The kindle 3's sans-serif looks nice, too. Somehow higher-res than the serif font.
