This Kindle - [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008GG93YE/ref=fs_sz"]This Kindle[/ame] Why?
1) It's dirt fucking cheap. I don't give a shit if I lose it, if it falls in water, or if somebody runs off with it.
2) It's light. The non-touch Kindle is lighter than the touch one which enables me to hold it one handed indefinitely.
3) Page turn buttons. Love 'em. Don't have to move my hands to turn the page. Swiping sucks.
4) Kindle email. Download book > convert book > email book to Kindle.
5) E-Ink. If you're going to be reading, do yourself a favor and get an e-ink screen. Way easier on the eyes, way lighter, better battery life, etc, etc.
