This might be a daft question, but are they text only, meaning no photos etc. Surely not though...

sorry for the late reply.
the kindle can display images but they are black and white only, as are all kindles.

i'm a book lover too but i'm trying to juggle both books and e-books, and there are books on torrents too so it helps reading free books and buy the ones i like. i've bought enough garbage over the years so i'm trying to reduce costs this way 16

That's probably why I'll never convert to a Kindle/ereaders full time.  After a few minutes of reading text from the computer my eyes begin to glaze and I just start skimming the page just to get to the end of it.

the kobo at least isnt back-lit like a computer or tablet its not as hard on the eyes

just like neemo says, kindle isn't back-lit either so it's not like reading on a monitor/computer. it's not hard on the eyes at all.
plus it's a lot easier to hold. i like reading fantasy and some of those books are quite heavy big_smile

i'm just planning on finishing garth nix's abhorsen trilogy atm and then go to joe abercrombie's first law trilogy. but i might slip a few classics outside fantasy in the mix

as far as i know the kindle fire is a tablet not an e-reader. so, i'm not counting it as one. and i think it's back-lit so it's not that good for reading, me thinks.
