How it feels like reading a book in a kindle reader?

Recently I have a amazon kindle reader as gift from my little brother. Though I am in temptation to have one for 3 years. One of my friend recommended it to me. Reading pdf is not a good idea from smart screen. And all books are not available as hard-copy. I will put my overview about Kindle reader.

Benefits
----------

  1. Yes, It feels like reading a newspaper.
  2. It is very light.
  3. You don't have to remember where you left previous time.
  4. You don't need your charger for 6-7 days read.
  5. You can store unknown words as flash card and in future skim through the words and where in a book this appeared.
  6. You can select a word to know its meaning from built-in oxford dictionary.
  7. It can guess your required time to finish a book.
  8. It can store 5mb of 800 ebooks.
  9. It supports popular ebook formats like .epub .mobi  and others.
  10. Amazon keeps your library backed up to amazon cloud.
  11. You have options of custom font and font size.
Problems
-----------
  1. Amazon kinlde basic does not have backlit. Many user complain that because they can not read in dark. But in my opinion it makes it more like a book than another electronic device.
  2. Yes Kindle supports PDF format. But it is not a good idea to read compact text figure books in pdf format in kindle. The limitation is not a problem with kindle. It is because of the nature of pdf format. To become portable pdf don't allow reformatting. So how can this fit in a small screen without zoom-in and zoom-out.
  3. But you can convert pdf books with only texts to epub or mobi formats and enjoy them.
