The best thing about a Kindle is that it removes the barrier to reading. When I have to carry around a paperback all the time (and a bookmark) I just end up taking out my phone instead. The Kindle allows for replacing the phone with a book, so I don't end up scrolling Twitter (or HN) for the 8th time in an hour.

Also: Kindle users should check out Libby[0] - it's like a public library but for eBooks, and you can probably sign up through your local public library. It's great for books that might be interesting, but aren't an immediate read.

If you want to read library books and not support Amazon, Kobo e-readers have a great integration with Overdrive also.

What I additionally like of Kobo readers is that it is very easy to install mods and new software

I'm still hoping to find a list of all libraries you can sign up to online. I found one in New York and Essex (UK). I will probably never get through all the books they offer but I want MORE! :)
