Yes for sure.
I own the Kindle, so let me give you some of my opinions. It is a great device, and I’ve to say I love it! I think I’ve read over 50 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far! And since Kindle books are cheaper than actual books, I think I’ve saved around $120 on buying books already. One tips is to watch out for discounts of Kindle books from time to time.
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has helped me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I have the Kindle, waiting time like when I’m waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like that is simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle along with me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which means I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I’ve myself busy on some boring things, say when I’m on the step machine or doing some housework…
I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But now I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really like reading books… Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don’t feel tired… And I now prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big enough bookshelf… And like to do bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookup without any additional thing but a Kindle.
Amazon just released new models of the Kindle and it’s much better. Read here for a fresh review about the new Kindle:

There are quite a lot of free books, and many Kindle books, magazines and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. And below are the millions of free books and full list of bestselling books for the Kindle, that you can check from time to time:

If you want one, then go for it.
As long as you are sure you want it, then you should ask for it. Just make sure that you really do want it, and that it won’t end up in your closet after a few weeks.
I can relate to your situation a bit because I’ve just started picking up reading again. Because of that, I ordered the new Kindle (Wi-Fi + 3G) and can’t wait for it to get here! I think it would be a great Christmas present because it’s reasonably priced ($189). Important advice here: if you do want the Kindle for Christmas, tell your parents soon, and I mean real soon, because I’ve heard that the Kindles will sell out quickly, possibly by the end of September. Not sure if they will, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did.
