 I Love My Kindle Jul 06, 2008
I received my Kindle for Father's day and have really enjoyed it. There were initial problems with connecting to the Sprint Whispernet Network, but that has been corrected. The price of books on Kindle versus what I was paying in the bookstore is a definite plus. The multiple fonts help when the eyes are tired! One downside is the ease of buying books. One click an it's done! While the list of books available is extensive, there are a few authors that I would like to see more books from. Kindle owners need to email their favorite authors and their publishers about including their books on Kindle. Bottom line is, I have enjoyed my Kindle and would buy it again!

Excellent Product Jul 06, 2008
A simple review of the product is it's great. After reading the critical reviews, I thought I'd add my $.02. I tend to read when on a plane or an elliptical machine when doing cardio. Works perfect and love the fact that you can buy a book just about anywhere.
I'd like to see it interact a bit more with the PC to copy sections of books a bit easier, but I suspect that will come in later editions.

First Impressions Jul 06, 2008
I purchased the Kindle to bring with me on a recent trip to Ireland in leu of bulky hardcover books. Unfortunately, the Kindle died on me on the second day of the trip and I waited until I returned to the States to call for help. My mistake, the help service was excellent and they had me up and running in a few minutes.
I purchased the Kindle for a number of reasons. Lightweight for long trips, ability to enlarge the font, ect. A feature that I really came to appreciate after purchase is the dictionary lookup function.
Need to add direct transfer of word documents to and from a computer.

Love it Jul 06, 2008
I absolutely love my Kindle. I bought it about 2 months ago. I travel a lot and now don't have to worry that I will finish one book and then have to track down another one that I like while on the road. I also have no more room for hardback books. My Kindle has made it so easy for me to buy books and download them so I don't have to worry about having a place to store more books. I have shown my Kindle to several people and have two people buy one from looking at mine. I have two more people who are interested and are planning on buying one. The cost of the books is so cheap compared to hardback or paperback books. The Kindle makes it so much easier for me to travel since I only have to travel with one device that takes up very little room in the car or on a plane. The Kindle makes it easy to download books right from it or from the computer. I can't say enough good things about it. I would recommend this device to everyone for reading enjoyment.

Awesome tool Jul 06, 2008
I love this little device - it's perfect for travel because it frees up so much of my suitcase sapce that I used to use for books. It's also pretty neat because I won't have overflowing bookcases in the house - all the books can be stored on the device or a memory card - really cool.
I like the fact that I have current periodicals and newspapers at my disposal - the selection is pretty good (but could be expanded). My only complaint - if there is one - is that it could use a library feature, i.e., let me have the option to "borrow/check out" a book for a nominal fee - for someone who's an avid reader - even the cheap books at 7.99 can add up quickly - so that might be something to consider - in the future - adding a library connection feature.
I love this thing - it's cool!
