At first I wasn't going to get into these wireless readers but after a vacation down to California last summer, I realized how tedious and annoying carrying multiple books in your luggage can be. I mean..it only adds on additional weight I don't need, right? These readers are generally 10 to 11 ounces, which is about the same as a hardcover. It would definitely give me more space in my luggage for my shoes (you can never bring enough shoes on a trip). And these things are just suuuuper cool. I'm kind of aiming for the B&N Nook. Its features are better and have more than the Kindle. Unless I was going outside of the country... but I'm not. At least not anytime soon that is.
This is definitely going on my Christmas Wish List :)
