 Loving My Kindle!Jul 31, 2010
Not in a million years would I have thought I would enjoy my Kindle this much! Being such a "techy" person I knew that I wanted to have a reader...but didnt want to spend the money on the iPad...the Kindle was perfect!!! Fit into my budget and offers me everything that I needed!
 Bookcase and reading machineJul 31, 2010
Selling books and bookcases to move to a smaller home made me candidate for a digital library and reader. I found the Barnes & Noble Nook too slow for my taste and also a little awkward to operate. The Ipad is fun and versatile, but hard to read in bright sunlight and tiring to read for a long time. Reading the Kindle is the closest experience to reading a book with the huge added benefits of adjustable font sizes, instant dictionary access and the ability to search for relevant phrases or passages. It's probably the fastest way to build up a library that takes up no space. Being able to download newspapers and magazines from around the world is a great luxury. Coupling all this with text-based internet and email access virtually anywhere at zero monthly cost makes the Kindle more useful than a multi-gadget pocket knife -- and so far from my experience just as reliable.
Kindle is nice.Jul 31, 2010
Although the iPad is so much cooler, because it can do so much more, it is heavy. The Kindle is perfect if all you want is an e-reader.
Great ProductJul 31, 2010
The 6" model is perfect for a purse. I just wish it had a backlight for night reading or some kind of clip for a night light.
All my books in one!Jul 31, 2010
I absolutely love this product. I thought I would hate not actually holding a book but now I am used to it, I couldn't be without it. Takes up little space and weighs virtualy nothing. Great to take on holiday as it saves on baggage weight and space. I normally take at least six books for a two week vacation. Love the fact I can make notes and highlight passages. How did I ever manage without it?
