Just go to the sales page from time to time. On the morning when the Kindle 3 is first received by some users, many users will post their feedback / comment immediately to the sales page:

iPad may be saving Amazon’s Kindle business model
The launch of the iPad may have ironically helped Amazon improve the business model for the Kindle, Needham analyst Charlie Wolf found today. Amazon had previously insisted on a wholesale model that sold e-books at a loss but made a profit on the Kindle readers, but Apple’s insistence on agency model pricing for the iBookstore may have done the online retailer a favor. By creating pressure on …

Answer by Cheetuh08
I own the Kindle 2, and it is easy for me to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 20 books so far.
I love my Kindle because it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I owned the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along with me. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can “read” books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…
I like reading and at the beginning I missed a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired.
