I have another e-reader, a Cybook, very nice for travel. Thinner than the Kindle but no wireless downloading. It reads Mobipocket and PDF formats. Havr 400+ books on it now but still like the real thing for some authors and books.

I gave a Kindle to a close friend 18 mo ago as a convalescence gift after valve replacement surgery. She loves it. Especially the wireless download feature. She was thinking of getting her mother one of the new version ones which has the read to you feature. Her mom has macular degeneration so the changeable font size and the read to you would be great. I haven't heard if she has gotten it yet. I will ask her later today and report back if she has with their impressions. When they first came out with the latest version I saw the read to you described as experimental. Haven't checked on this lately.
