Has anyone here used a Kindle? I researched it on Amazon. My mom wants one, but she is not very computer savvy. I'm wondering if it is hard to use, and if people are glad they bought it. Any help?

Sorry,but I never saw the attraction in such a device!
When I read,I like to curl up in my recliner with a real book,and not have to worry about if the lighting is 'just so' to avoid glare,or other visibility problems. I won't even consider reading a book on my computer,because when I want to read,that means my recliner is the only place to do it.
So I'm probably not the one to answer this,but I am curious,can anyone tell me 'WHY' they would consider going to such an expense to read an electronic book,over a real paper-page book? BTW most of the books I read,I get from my library,the majority that I buy are non-fiction Christian inspirational,and several Christian fiction by Frank Peretti.
You don't have to worry about glare, and the Kindle reads largely similar to reading a real book. An advantage to the Kindle is that you can have all of your books on one device. You can also get subscriptions to nearly any newspaper/magazine delivered right to your Kindle as well.
I don't know if I'll get one as I like having a large collection of books to show off , (I also don't mind the idea of adding to the author's income) & give away... but I definitely see the advantages of this device.
