• Compact — smaller than a standard hardcover book
• Readability — very easy on the eyes
• Wireless Access — this is killer for me.  I get the New York Times everyday, every morning without having to step outside.  Plus, I can download whatever newspaper, book or magazine where ever I might be.  This is convenience.
• Upload documents — I’m able to email the Kindle 2 documents that might want to read on the road.  This is great because I kill less trees and my backpack is 1/3 the weight.
• Battery life — I’ve had no problems with running low on juice — unlike my iPhone 3G.
• Cheaper books — I like saving money
• Ability to consume more information — there is something to be said about having that if I have more information at my finger tips, I’ll consume more of it.  This seems to be true for me.
• Eco-Friendly — not sure if they are made with some toxic plastic but I sure am using less paper

Here are things I don’t like:

• Larger screen — I never use the keyboard at the bottom — make the screen bigger
• Touchscreen — not sure how that would work with a digital ink screen but I still want it
• Color screen
• Give me blogs for free — they charge me money to read my favorite blog
• Text-to-speech is over rated — I never use it.  I prefer to listen to a podcast or Ted talk.

Overall, I’m a fan and would recommend it to others.
