Some of the good points about kindle include:

• High contrast screen based on the E Ink technology (Kindle looks and reads like paper!)
• No glare while reading in bright sunlight (It reads like ordinary paper, not like some backlit LCD screen)
• Has a 6″ screen and weighs just 8.5 to 8.7 ounces (Light so that you can carry it around everywhere)
• A single charge can last up to a month with wireless off (Read your favorite books in the center of a jungle if you want)
• Store up to 3,500 books (Whoa! Will we even read those many in our lifetime?)
• Doesn’t get hot (Remember those laptops that literally burn your laps? This ain’t like it!)
• Over 700,000 books in the Kindle store for your reading pleasures
• Read the beginnings of the books for free to judge whether the book is right for you
• Text to speech. Have Kindle read out books/magazines/newspapers to you
• Transfer MP3s to Kindle via USB to listen while you read

The plain WiFi version is good for you if you already have WiFi access at your home. Else, you can choose the 3G version, which’ll allow you to download and read books anytime, and anywhere. And the best part of this is that Amazon pays for the wireless connectivity, not you.
