 Great Device But Cost Prohibitive November 20, 2008

I recently had a chance to take the Kindle for a 'test drive'. A friend loaned me hers to read a novel she had raved about.
I found the unit to be a good size with an easy to read selection of fonts, although sometimes not quite bright enough. It was a bit annoying trying keep track of where I was if I forgot to bookmark or if I accidentally hit the wrong 'key'.
I did like the Kindle a great deal, but the $359 - $399 price puts it out of my price range, so for now I'll just keep reading the old fashioned way.
 OVERPRICED!!!! November 20, 2008

I think that the Kindle is a novel piece of technology. However, I think that it's overpriced! Just as is the iPhone! When the time comes that both of these items have sold enough, or the technology has become more advanced to warrant a price decrease, then is when I would consider buying either!
 I love My Kindle! November 20, 2008

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! November 20, 2008

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! November 20, 2008

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
