Many Kindle books are serialized (written in episodic series) I have always loved books that come in a series so I can check in on some of my favorite storybook characters. When you really love a book you sometimes hate that it ends and want to hear more of the adventures of the well loved characters right? A lot of serialized books are comprised of fairly short novelettes to create interest in the other books in the series, to keep the prices low, and garner a following of loyal readers.
There are a number of apps and groups on Facebook, Myspace, and standalone sites that each give away five or more new Kindle titles every day. When I first got my Kindle I joined three of these sites mailing lists and quickly accumulated a large number of titles. In one of my kindles I have over 1400 books and I have only bought three books in all the time I have been using a kindle.
A couple of years ago we picked up another kindle in a thrift store for 2 dollars. It only had two books in it! So I started putting all of my cookbooks into the newly acquired kindle. My boyfriend found two more over the next few months for a steal and bought them too. He even made me a floating protective cover for my kindle so that there would be no kindle accidents in the bathtub. Over the years there has been more than a few paperbacks that have been drowned in my bathtub.
So in conclusion, you can carry thousands of books in one convenient little 7 inch 7 ounce holder so owning a kindle is economical both for space and convenience. No matter how much any one of those books would weight printed it remains 7 ounces. It's easy to move books from your library on Amazon to any one of multiple devices. Finally there are thousands upon thousands of books published for Kindle some of your favorite print book authors and some new authors that you will be glad to have found. My answer is a resounding "yes!" buying a Kindle e reader is well worth it!

I use my iPad for graphic novels and magazines, but everything else is read on my Paperwhite.

If you are someone who is more interested in the story than the physical book then a kindle will make your reading life so much easier.
