 Great item!!!! January 7, 2009
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I love it! I got this as a Christmas present and it is the best thing ever! Now I just need the publishers to put more of the books I read on the kindle. I am also a student and hope I can get my textbooks for it. Best gift ever!
sony e-reader vs. kindle January 7, 2009
Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device
I replaced my first generation Sony e-book with a Kindle. The Kindle's software access is far superior to that of the Sony.
The Kindle screen is also somewhat brighter than that of the Sony.
Kindle's ergonomics leave something to be desired; the Sony has a slight edge here.
Over all, the Kindle is definately superior to the Sony Reader
KIndle the BEST January 7, 2009
I recently acquired a Kindle. It is, without doubt, one of the best purchases I have ever made. As an avid reader, I must have a book to two going at all times. This has led to vast quantities of books all over my house, all waiting for a good home once I finish them. I got the Kindle right before we went on a cruise, and it was a godsend. I no longer had to pack a half dozen books, (and now worry about weight restrictions with the airlines). I just loaded the Kindle up with books, stashed it in my purse and went to sea.
The Kindle has worked flawlessly, and is providing me with the opportunity to read whenever, whereever I can. My husband has serious health problems, which means lots of hours in the doctor's office and/or hospital. Again, Kindle to the rescue for me.
I find the design of the Kindle to be really nice and well done. The size is good, just about right to hold while reading. Once you spend a few minutes with the Kindle, reading with it becomes intuitive. I find myself lost in a book as soon as I pick it up.
The number of books that are available for purchase is more than adequate, in fact it is super. Not only best sellers, but classics and old favorites.
Thank you, Amazon, for this amazing device.
I purchased the Kindle as a gift and now I want one January 7, 2009
Such a smart little device. I like that my son told me early what he wanted for Christmas because if he hadn't, I probably couldn't have ordered one. They sold out in December. He seems really happy with Santa this year because of the Kindle. He is a techy so he has done his research on these type of devices and the Kindle is the only one he recommends.
Travelling Buddy January 7, 2009
The Kindle is great for travelling. I used to carry 3 or 4 books and now I only have one thing to keep up with. I bought the red leather cover and it is beautiful and keeps the Kindle securely in place. It would be nice, however, if the bars on the left side were switched. It would be easier for me to have the next page bar on top and the back page bar on the bottom. Sometimes I miss just holding a book and turning pages. So, I read the Kindle and a book simultaneously. The Kindle upstairs and a real book downstairs. Buy one. You won't be sorry.
