Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Less

Pros Great feature set, good construction, well-supported
Cons Physically large compared with many PDAs
Recommended it? Yes

If you want a PDA to keep track of appointments and contacts, most will do. A Palm Zire costs $99 (retail) and can handle those tasks with ease.

Pros Well thought out and capable
Cons Expensive to buy and to populate
Recommended it? Yes

Think of most anything invented in the 15th century and you will find it outdated and supplanted by something invented later.
