Just got one myself, and while I haven't played with it much, I do like the amount of free and low price content available, and the display is more readable than I had guessed. Amazon has got a pretty good early lead on all competitors, so if I had to handicap the race I would bet on their format to emerge as the de facto standard. It will be nice not to have as many books cluttering up the house, and I can probably feed my daughter's voracious reading appetite a bit more cheaply now (and yes, we do go to the library...). Consider me an optimistic user...
