I get most of my books from the local public library and Amazon couldn't have made it easier. I just go to the library website, pick out the books I want, and they are automatically delivered right to my Kindle. It can't get much more simple than that.
Reading on the Kindle is user friendly and the display is clear as day. These displays are non reflective so you won't get any glare, even in direct sunlight. In fact, the brighter the sunlight, the better the display looks. All you tablet people, I'm telling you (as I did those 4 years), if you're an avid reader you MUST invest in a dedicated e reader to save yourself some eyestrain...and battery life. I charge my Kindle maybe once every two weeks. That's when I read maybe an hour or two each night using a low backlight.
And how about all the money and shelf space you can save. I bet I've downloaded and read at least 100 books in the past year. Before that, I doubt I even read 10 paperbacks in a year. And all those books are stored in a cloud at my disposal. No more stuffing books into my carry on, no more debating at the bookstore what I'm going to leave behind.
Oh, and did I tell you about some of the other cool features? You can download a Kindle app for your phone, tablet, whatever and if you read on that (or a Kindle Fire which I've seen and it's soooo much lighter and thinner than an iPad) then it remembers what page you are on so you can pick up another device and carry on like you never put the book down. And if you're an Amazon Prime Member, you can borrow a book a month from Amazon; these are usually popular titles, and I think now they are even offering Prime members sneak previews to books before they are put in their bookstores. Plus the usual benefits of membership: 2 day free shipping on a lot of items, and Prime tv. We love that on our Kindle Fire to travel as well as on our tv.
Don't forget to accessorize your Kindle either!
