  • The Kindle is small enough to fit in a pocket
  • The Kindle has a 6″ screen size, which is about the size of a page from a paperback novel
  • The Kindle's E Ink display makes you feel like you're reading from paper and doesn't fade away in sunlight like an LCD display

Personally, for reading, I like the simple version, although the touchscreen is a nice addition to the basic version you might want to consider.
