 Best Invention Ever!!! January 7, 2009
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am not a reader. I always had the excuse that carrying heavy books around was not useful and I could never find time to read at home with kids screaming, dishes to be done, endless straightening and work brought home from the office. No excuses anymore. The Kindle has turned me into a reader. I downloaded a 900 page book in less than a minute and have not put my Kindle down since.
My only complaint is that it is difficult to know what page you are on. There is a line of dots at the bottom that shows progress but sometimes knowing that you have read 200 pages out of 900 gives reassurance that 4 dots does not.
The wireless feature is amazing and I have even started reading the newspaper. We get one at home but my husband steals it before I have a chance to look at it. Now he wants to read the paper on my Kindle but I have told him to back off and get his own.
I just ordered the light but have to say that the digital ink technology is fantastic. I took my Kindle to the beach over vacation and had no problem reading in the direct sunlight with my sunglasses on.

Bought it for my Husband and he loves it. Only thing I wish is that it could be used in the dark.
AMAZING AMAZON KINDLE January 7, 2009

I originally purchased the Sony Digital Reader and returned it because of the inconvenience of downloading books. The one good feature of the Sony is the pivot on the reader and book cover. Aside from that, the Kindle wins hands down. The downloads are fast. Huge selection to choose from. Love the idle screens. I have not been able to figure out if I can make a separate list of the books I have read already on the Kindle. If not, it would be a nice added feature but not enough to stop me from purchasing it. It is always with me and causes excitement whenever someone realizes what I am doing.

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!

The primary problem with Amazon's Kindle is not the product or the support; it is not the poorly designed case or the terrible ergonomics or the file limitations or the dozens of broken screens. The major problem with the Kindle is the fan club, those of you in Internetland who have nothing better to do than argue with and attack and browbeat and accuse people who, for one reason or another, aren't willing to bow to your electronic God. You call them liars, idiots, clods, jerks, trolls, everything but child molesters, and that's probably just a matter of time. You tell them, despite Amazon's promotional "drop test," that they are stupid to think they can actually drop one. Why you care what someone else thinks about your silly little toy is a mystery to me, but you do. You care more than can possibly be healthy. And how do these dissenting opinions affect you? Well, they don't. This is one club of which I do not want to be a part, however wonderful you think your product is. I would like to suggest that you start a religion, buy yourselves a couple tons of Koolaid and have a party.
