Happy Early Adopter Here

I have a Kindle and I think it's great. I currently use it solely for reading books. That's ok, because that's what I bought it for! Once my current magazing subscriptions run out, I'll probably convert over to Kindle subscriptions as well. It would be nice if it was cheaper, but the closed nature doesn't bother me as long as it's easy to use. I do like that I can quickly and easily re-download anything I've previously bought at any time. The DRM may restrict sharing, but it doesn't restrict me very much. Being able to take .txt "clippings" of pages is a very nice nod to fair use. It's easier to pull quotes out of a Kindle than it is out of a "normal" book! You don't have to either transcribe or use OCR software after scanning pages.
