My daughter loves her kindle. I recently got her a book cover that will hold a light in the cover spine, which will make for easier reading in dim light, as e-paper is not back lit to conserve on power. Oh, and two friends have iPads (caveat, one does work for Apple), which can be used as eReaders. They like color screens which are self lit. The screen isn't quite as sharp as e-paper but neither one has problems reading books for long periods. But battery life is shorter. Still it is a full computer. But it is Apple, you have to get the software through them, but there is a lot of software out there (a lot of it free), including a Kindle reader.
