I got a 3G Kindle for my birthday and I love it. I've only had a quick play with the Sony in shops, so I can't really help with comparisons. Weight and size wise, it's ace. You can hold it in either hand and flip forwards/backwards through the book with your thumb, and it's slim enough your...

I did a search on Patrick Ness, but nothing came up, which surprises me. I've just finished Monsters of Men and I'm feeling sad and there's no thread on it this just adds to the general upset. He may have ruined all other books for me, plus I keep thinking about puppies and getting teary...
