Though I think they have weaknesses when it comes to images and graphics.
That's one of my (many) concerns. Most of my reading is military history, preferably with plenty of maps especially. Apart from current, popular stuff (like novels), do e-books handle obscure, out-of-print history books? And handle them well?

When I looked into the Kindle I was not much interested because most of the books I buy are reference and there wasn't a lot available but then I found out the manual for WitE is designed to work with the Kindle and my interest went up quite a bit.

Most of the non-copyrighted stuff is available on Google Books in PDF format (a veritable treasure trove of history books). If you have an ebook reader with electronic ink that displays PDF files, there should be no problem.
