A year back, I asked people here if Kindle experience is better than reading a real book. Majority said Kindle is better when you get to use it regularly. Well after a year of reading experince in Kindle, I still not getting a hang of it. Honestly it has made my travel reading little pleasant when I want to read some fiction as I dont have to carry heavy books but at home and office, technical books are not so pleasant. Am I a minority or Kindle experience with technical books is still good?

Kindle is not perfect, but it is a heck of a good substitute for non-technical books (or any other books with lot of images/drawings). I went back to the public library a couple of weeks ago; got some books and found it hard to read (and to have in my bags while commuting).
I'd rather be phishing!

I use iBooks on my iPad and Calibre on my PCs. I am not a fiction person; almost all of my reading is technical. Mostly I prefer ebooks (epub format) but still love the dead-tree edition of PC Gamer.
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Any day I get to "F" in a date is a good day.

I love reading on my Kindle.... but I haven't used it for reference material at all. Not sure why, but I'm guessing because I somehow knew in the back of my mind that it wouldn't work well for that because of the size of the screen. At least it's a great alternative to having a ton of books. I tend to read a lot but I'm also a bit of a neat freak, so I don't care for a bunch of books.

It would be easier if mine didn't crash constantly - anything less than 60% battery and it will crash

I like the kindle for "entertainment" reading. For research things. I prefer. Books24x7 or safarionline I have used both. I prefer SafariOnline. It takes care of the code copy and paste issues etc.... Not sure why one would try to use the kindle version or any technical book. Searching and stuff is just horrible on that platform.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

As I said mentioned here on CP tonight, I have yet to find anything technical remotely readable, even less usable, on a Kindle.
