I'll be on Twitter and someone will mention a book they are enjoying and within 60 seconds I own it. You are a wise woman! azteclady wrote:

I do think that if you have more than one device registered to one Amazon account, say two Kindles and an iPhone in one family, you can do it.

I have the Kindle 1 and just love it. :) Glad to hear you're mostly positive about your experience. I too, prefer to read on the Kindle now. I hate holding a "real" book. It hurts! ;) I like the new look! :) Angela wrote:

You make such a good point about the relative evil of Amazon - they do stick out, and it may well be that there are worse choices in book buying and beyond, and yes, they are stimulating ebooks sales and reading in general. I'm guilty of shunning Amazon for a possibly not more upstanding alternative. Though you didn't mention the Amazon Fail thing. That troubled me on the Amazon front a great deal.

My biggest question at this point is - can I share the books I download with someone else who perhaps has a Kindle as well or an iPhone? Thanks!! I am thinking about purchasing a Kindle.
