We were going on holiday and I was told 'you are not taking books if you want something to read set up your Kindle' so I downloaded a few on and as soon as I actual used it I was hooked.
Not everyone's cup of tea however I have been reading and reading and reading A Game of Thrones which I have thoroughly enjoyed, I did watch some of the TV series which again is a very loose adaptation of the books and not really doing the books justice.
Another reason why I like reading my kindle on holiday- with a book the spine kept on melting and then pages started to fall out!
My Kindle is as old as the hills, paid a bit more at the time for the WiFi version. Got the little button keyboard on, bless it.
I tend to look for freebies too -think I have only paid a couple of times for books and one of those occasions I actually got a collection of Sci Fi books for £1.99
I have tried 3 times to read Girl on a Train, which I downloaded, and could not get into it at all, yet many people I know found it a really good read, but I gave up
I find that I can't concentrate to read books on holiday where you need to closely follow the plot. I find I just read easy reads- things I probably wouldn't read at home.

I still have the original kindle, going on for six years now. I keep thinking I will update it but then say if it's not broken why fix it.

That's impressive Judith - my wife managed to kill two in the space of 12 months...
Favourite book at the moment is Highest Duty by Capt "Sully" Sullenberger; couldn't put it down. Recently re-issued to coincide with film release, but only with a new cover (Tom Hanks). Don't know whether I would read it on a flight though......
