And I'm quite excited as it looks like, finally, Kindle Fire is coming to the UK later this year, although as yet no idea when or how much it'll be.  While it's not an iPad and will no doubt be heavier than the Kindle itself, this always sounded like a great tablet.

CountriGal are the books on Kindle Fire in colour, eg covers and any illustrations, or are they all still black and white?

Think I've said before, I have a 3G Kindle, which means it should access the internet at all times (or rather, where there's a signal) but as others have said, it is extremely clunky and only for use in a real emergency.  I love my Kindle and although I don't have a lighted cover, I do have a clip on light which I can use - not done so yet as I've only just got it, and I think it'll be fine for a quick chapter read before bed on the boat kind of thing.

I now have an office iPad which is quite heavy - compared to the Kindle it's about, I don't know, 10 times?  So I'd still want my Kindle to take on a short break for my books rather than the whole iPad.  My work one is wifi only - the directors have 3G access on a monthly contract but I didn't need that for work so if I wanted a 3G tablet for myself, I'd need to buy one.  Have to say am loving the iPad, but would love to have a play of an Android one too just for comparison.
