 It Does One Thing Very Well. March 10, 2010
Sheldon D. Richardson
This product is good for only one thing...and it does it perfectly. It makes the world of books and newspapers perfectly available.I have owned my Kindle for about a month and I am already reading more because it is so easy to acquire books and keep them nearby.I have purchase a couple of titles and downloaded several classics at no cost. The classics are better read from front to back because there is not usually a linked table of contents; but what do you expect for free. I also subscribed to my favorite national daily newspaper and the Kindle edition arrives a day before the print version that I have not yet unsubscribed. Overall, I am extemely pleased with the Kindle. I recommend it to any serious reader.

At the beginning I wa skeptical and didn't like it. I thought it would move faster for downloads. You have to be in the right area for that. After getting familiar with it, reading it, working out with it, and the selection of books to choose from, I am completely pleased with it. It is so convenient. If you finish one book while away from home, it's nice to be able to start a new one right away. I would recommend this, and have to all my friends, to anybody.

I belong to two book clubs and find that I cannot find the books that are assigned. This limits my use of the kindle. In addition, my town library downloads ebooks for Sony reader.
The book that I was able to download and purchase worked out very well and I enjoyed reading it on the Kindle. I find that it is much easier for me to read on the kindle and less strain on my eyes. But I must still take out books from the library because you do not have the books on Kindle.
I purchased my Kindle on Amazon and am sorry I did not check out the Sony reader before since I was told Kindle was the reader to purchase.
Amazon Kindle Review March 10, 2010

I purchased my Kindle a little over a month ago and I have to say--I love it more than my books!
I am not a "techie" so I was very hesitant to spend $260 on a product I might not like. I did the research on the various readers, found the Kindle had the features I wanted and downloaded the Kindle PC version to get a feel for it.
And then, I took the plunge. I was impressed with it right out of the box. Easy directions, wonderful interface and a product that actually lived up to all the hype.
I am not a Kindle expert,:)I probably never will be. But I can download books from on line and be reading them even in a remote area like Northern North Dakota (think of Canada and come down about 40 miles.)
I read some reviews about people not feeling like they were actually reading a book, but I didn't find this to be true. It is lighter than a small paperback book, but holds up to a 1500 books! Have I mentioned I love it?
If you are hesitating buying an e-reader I'd say go for it and get a Kindle. I know I do not regret it.
I LOVE the Kindle March 10, 2010

Once you get used to the menu's and how to navigate the Kindle, I have nothing but love for this device. Saving trees, having our book collection in one spot, and being able to buy books on the fly....all great perks. Initially I bought this Kindle for my wife and I to share, suffice it to say I've not read a book on the Kindle yet, beyond a few pages here and there. We were concerned about going from the feel of a book in our hand to reading digital, transition was made the first day by both of us. The dictionary that follows your books is pretty cool too, some of those unknown words you tend to gloss over when reading, you can understand now with a minimum effort of moving the cursor over top of the word, and viewing the bottom of your screen. The other fear we had was in sharing books. Kindle Reader is available on the PC, my iTouch, and now on Blackberry's but unfortunately I have an older model. But being able to shift books around to different devices means I can read my books and trade since we share the same account. Looks like there is a 2nd Kindle in our near future. Great device. Thanks Amazon!
