I think Kindle is a good idea, its pretty pricey but the books are slightly cheaper and no shipping costs so technically it will pay for itself eventually!. It holds 200 titles, thats alot of trees saved!. Plus no waiting, buy book and in under a minute you are reading it!.
Plus its not just for books, there are magazines, blogs, and newspapers plus email capabilities!. However that maybe where those fees you heard about are!. Subscription fees are required for these!.
There are however drawbacks, like you've been told, not all books are offered for Kindle!. You can do a search and see!.

All in all, if you use it for ebooks only, I think it will be a great little tool that will pay for itself over time and you can always just get the books it doesn't offer the old-fashioned way!.
Other then subscription fees, which are easily avoided, nothing I've read or heard says anything about extra charges!. It is however an Amazon device, developed by Amazon for Amazon products!. I get all my books from there anyway so this is no problem for me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Do some research and compare it to the Sony Reader!. There are fees for using the internet for downloading books and for converting files from anywhere but Amazon to the correct file format, I believe!. If you don't want to convert files like that, your only choice is what Amazon has in its store!. I went with the Reader because it's been around longer (mine is second generation) and has no hidden fees because it has no internet connection and it's much cheaper!. It is also more versatile when it comes to file formats!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Go to Amazon and look up the books you like and see if they are available for the kindle!. also, buying books costs money!. Will you have it!? Any book you buy for the Kindle is not transferrable to a different ebook reader!. I'd say skip it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
