I've got a big library; we're up to 5 bookcases now at home (just bought 2 more today at a consignment store). A good (not a majority but significant) part of that is public domain works from various authors, and I've been debating getting a kindle just for downloading the free public domain stuff so I could get rid of my hard copies. It'd free up at least 2-3 large shelves I think, and that'd be pretty handy. Between the wife and I we've got most of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, a lot of the political philosophy classics (Paine, Locke, et al), copies of most of the major religious texts, lots of Jules Verne, etc...and it's all just so damn space consuming. And we actually refer to or read in their entirety a lot of these on a semi-regular basis (hell, I still like Poe's short stories and poetry). Not daily or anything, but often enough I don't want to just ditch them all, but I do NOT want another damn book case.
So for all the TR people that use a Kindle; what are your impressions?
I'd dearly love one that does color but I don't think that can work with e-ink, or at least that's my impression? Which makes me sad cause it'd rock to have all my field guides and stuff on a kindle too.
