I think I may be wearing down though. I came pretty close at the beginning of the year. I had some Amazon gift cards from Christmas and I really considered it but just couldn't. Got a Blu-ray player instead.
No need to buy a kindle just yet (they have dropped in price though). Get the Kindle for the PC app, start a small library. If you have a smart phone, they have kindle apps for most of them. That's where I do most of my reading. We have a kindle itself, but we both just use our phones.

And the fact that I can share a book with somebody around the world is nice too. Most books have a 2 week loan option.
