Good:
* Excellent for traveling. I have a 2GB SD card and more books then I'll ever read on any single trip.
* Fairly straightforward to convert into Kindle format. About half of the books I read are from Project Gutenberg and therefore free :)
* Book/Magazine purchasing is fast and efficient (instant gratification is nice)
* Battery Life: Not as amazing as people say it is, but still quite impressive
* Text resizing: Reading at the Gym / on a bus is much easier when you can bump up the font size
* Carrying case: Leather, makes it look like a moleskine
Meh:
* Internet access: Nice, although the screen refresh is slow enough to make it a little painful
* Audio support: Never tried it, so can't say
* Page turn speed: Takes a little to get used to, but then it's fine and doesn't really interrupt reading
* UI: A little counterintuitive at first, but easy to adjust to. Occasionally slow, and you do accidentally press buttons a bit
* Price: The device is expensive, and occasionally books are more than you might want to pay (I'm used to the library :) ).
Bad:
* Selection is wanting. There are many books that aren't available.
* Graphics: Illustrations don't translate well to 4 colors. This rules out a bunch of books
* My first kindle died within the first month, it was a pain to replace, but at least done for free
* Really bad for skimming / flipping through pages quickly.
