It's not just a handheld computer that you can read on, it has been design by Amazon to just get out of the way and let you comfortably read. One of the big appeals is you can carry your entire library with you, and just about anywhere there's cellphone service and buy more books to read (in addition to read newspapers, websites, etc). It uses Electronic Paper instead of a typical computer screen, so reading on it is just like reading printed paper.
