Just got back from Mexico where there was free Wifi in the lobby, plus I always take a load of books, if only I had known about the 3g Kindle.
But now you all seem very happy with your purchases, can anybody tell if the experience is better/worse than physically reading a book, which I quite like.

I Loved books before I got my kindle. Now I have the hump if a book isn't available on Kindle! One downside, I find it easier to flick through a normal book to find specific info than I do on Kindle , say for textbooks, but that's all.
I also have the official cover with light and love it, it's very bright.

Also, where there's wifi, you don't need the 3g version, They all work on wifi.

I am a confirmed physical book lover. HoweverI bought the kindle, as I have a sight problem and sometimes the text on normal paperbacks is too small for me to read at night.
I absolutely love it,and I'm reading much more and do not need to enlarge the print , because it's so clear and I can read it for much longer without eye strain. My teenage daughter was very cynical about them before I got it. She much prefers using it to a book now, and we are sharing it until she can afford one. All my family want one now. Im really surprised about how good it is as I'm not a gadgety sort of person, but it's made a huge difference to my enjoyment of reading.

Anyone got one of the refurbs? Is there any noticeable difference between this and a new one?

I don't have one myself but have read comments from others that htye are same as new except they don't come with a plug - only the cable.

i was nearly tempted, but at 50.99 for the case with light its still too much to pay for me

You don't need to spend much on a case and light. I got my case for under £4 on Ebay and it's great. I splashed out for the Octovo solis light at £20, and it's a great piece of kit, especially for reading in bed at night.

I got a refurb and it looks absolutely brand new. I showed it to a friend who bought a "new" one last week when the refurbs had gone out of stock and there was no difference at all
