I've been using the new Amazon Kindle for a couple of days now. I actually love it. Comfortable to hold, feels solid, and the display is beautiful. This is also a great gift for someone WITHOUT a computer who loves to read - you can purchase books directly on the Kindle, with no need to ever hook up to a computer. Books are delivered within 60 seconds from the Kindle store.

And new releases are generally only $10, compared to $15-$20 for new hardback releases.

P.S. If you're going to get one - please click the Buy from Amazon button below - your purchase will help support Faves.com!
