Must say I have used one of these Kindle thingamibobs and I just dont get it. You pay £100 or whatever for the unit itself which, admittedly, is nice to read on but is never going to match a real book and then you pay a hefty  premium over the price of a real book which you can keep forever (rather than lose it due to software corruption, hardware obsolescence, etc etc) or sell on to recoup some of the cost and doesnt need re-charging. Explain to me the logic as it just doesnt make any sense to me and the financial side of things make them ridiculous toys in my eyes?

The fact you can take your whole 'book case' anywhere you go?

Most books should[\i] be cheaper aswell

Buy her one? If you want portable get the £90 version, if you don't mind it a bit bigger go for the pricier one.

Personally, I"d get the £89 version as most girls are obsessed by looks and not functionality.

Remember you don't have to order from Amazon, IIRC Carphone Warehouse had the £89 version also tesco do them

http://direct.tesco.com/content/specials/kindle.aspx you'll get clubcard points, and a 5p off a litre of fue voucher at the moment! You my also find a spend £xx and save £xx voucher online somewhere.

You won't be be disappointed 

IMO the 3G version isn't worth the extra; there's plenty of wi-fi hotspots around the country so that if you want to download a new book you won't be stuck

Linzi is a complete book worm and she loves it.  If it can convince her then it can convince (almost) anyone that its a handy bit of kit

All good if it's a £10 voucher that doesn't require you spending a certain amount. I.e you'll only save £10 if you spend another £50 with them.
