kindle touch

I am debating buying a Kindle Touch. When I am in Turkey I will be spending large amounts of time on a bus. We are planning on taking a 30 hour bus trip from Istanbul to Rize and then into old Georgia! With that being said, I would rather not waste precious packing space with books. The Kindle Touch is $99, which I think is a great deal because I would have had to buy around six books for my trip. Six books at $15 a piece = $90. A Kindle just seems much more convenient for my travels. If anyone has a Kindle please let me know what you think of it!
