Amazon Kindle

I love My Kindle!
What can I say? I love my Kindle! I've always enjoyed gadgets, but this is the ultimate! I have been reading more, and reading new genres I had not tried before. I love being able to download a sample of a book before purchasing! It's easy to hold, easy to read, even in full sunlight! I only turn on the wireless when I need to, and the battery lasts for a looooong time this way! Well worth every penny spent!

Sounds crazy but it's changed my life!
I give it a full five stars because I hadn't finished a book other than parenting books in years before purchasing my Kindle. I now read the LA Times newspaper every morning and keep up on current events. My vocabulary has increased because instead of skipping over the words I didn't know the definitions of I now look them up! It's also help my comprehension.

If you have a teenager or other family member that hasn't discovered that they love to read yet, get it for them! I love being able to save "clippings" from what I am reading.

I wish that I could organize my books easier from the Kindle. I would like to be able to send a specific book to a family member that has approved me for that purpose.

I used velcro to keep my Kindle in place while in the cover. It's a really nice cover and works well with velcro, although it's hard to reach the wireless power switch.
I have purchased the "Mighty Bright" book light and it's great! It clips on the cover and stays really easily. The batteries that come with the light don't last long so I changed them with better quality batteries and expect that it will last longer.

The look of the screen is exactly like paper, it's amazing. I like being able to change font size if I forget my glasses!

It's great to have the keyboard which is easiest when used with your thumbs like when texting. The battery on the kindle will last a lot longer between charges is you turn off the wireless.

I am completely happy, love it so much! Thanks Oprah for letting me know about it! My AMAZING KINDLE!

Love it Love it Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a lifelong reading enthusiast stuck with arthritic hands and a bum neck, this little device is just perfect. I can enjoy tackling ANY book, no matter how lengthy, thanks to the Kindle. I am thrilled with the easy operation, size, general ease of use. All of my friends have had the same reaction to the Kindle -- " WOW!" Advertise more -- more people NEED to be introduced to your Kindle! Thanks, N. Flechtner

Fragile screen
I was so excited to get my Kindle. I loved every part of it. After less than 1 month I reached for it in my purse to show a friend and found the screen damaged. The Kindle was in it's case and the case shows no sign of damage. I have no idea what happened to it. The tech support guy said that he's heard that someone's cat sat on their Kindle and ruined the screen. There is no repair for it, only a replacment for 0.00. I told him that I had just paid 0 to use it for less than a month, why would I want to spend another 0 to get another one that will be damaged. He said that maybe if I spent the 0 on a replacement I would be more careful next time. Wow! Now I'm just stuck with a 0 useless reminder that I wasted my money. I am VERY UNHAPPY.
