 One of the best purchases I've ever made December 5, 2008

Before I decided to purchase the Kindle, I had read ebooks through PDF format on my computer. I was getting tired of being stuck to my computer and not being able to sit outside in the sun, or bring the book with me to finish when I went to work. So I did a lot of research between the Kindle and a few other devices that are on the market. This one won hands down. Not only are the prices of the books cheaper, but I have more of an option, and the ebooks I already had would convert over. Plus I could bring files I was working on or reading for others with me and make notes right on the Kindle. And this was all before I got the product.
When I actually received it, I was blown away. This piece of technology now goes with me wherever I go, and has become the constant companion of my cell phone. I love that I can get books virtually whenever I want a new one. If I get bored with what I'm reading, I simply turn on the wireless and shop for a new one. I don't have to wait to finish the ebooks anymore - though that can be problematic when I want to finish and my break is over. I work in a bookstore and still love print books and will continue to read them, however there are books I read that are only available as ebooks. That, combined with the fact that I read a lot but cannnot take many books with me when I travel makes this absolutely perfect. I would recommend this to anyone, and whenever a customer at work asks me if I know anything about it, I'm honest. Sure I don't want to lose sales for the store, but at the same time, this is such a great device, how could I not share my opinion on it?
Best purchase in my life! December 5, 2008

The Kindle is amazing! I love that I can have the print small in the day time when I wear my glasses and large at night when I read in bed. I am glad it will put itself to sleep when I fall asleep. It is light, easy to operate, and the books are not expensive. I would reccommend to all who love to read!

I knew I wanted an eReader, but was torn between the Sony and the Kindle. After watching a few online demos, I took a chance on the Kindle and I believe I made the right choice. My two favorite things about the Kindle are: (1) wireless connectivity and (2) nice, big buttons to go to the next page.
The Kindle has exceeded my expectations. My only complain is that some of the books I would like to download on Kindle aren't yet available. But the list is growing everyday.
If you've already decided an eReader is for you, then the Kindle is a no brainer. It's light, easy to carry, extremely clear and easy to read with adjustable fonts, and I'm devouring books faster than ever before. I have no hesitations about recommending this product.
Best gift ever December 4, 2008

I just got mine this week, and I have not been able to put it down.
I love how the screen isn't a glowing screen, it actually looks like ink on paper. You can buy books in an instant, even get the first chapter free, to see if you'll like the book! You can even go on the internet, though, I still am finding this really quirky.
I have a teeny complaint, and that is that the page buttons are very sensitive. If you're reading sometimes you'll accidentally hit one of them and then have to re-find your place. It's quite easy, but a bit of a pain.
I have never received such a great gift. It's like having a library at your disposal! There are so many books to already choose from, and more coming all the time.
I highly suggest to anyone to buy the kindle book, or even paper book:
The Complete User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle -by Stephen Windwalker.
Yes it's a user's manual, but it's more! It helps walk you through all the tough stuff, and even some of the stuff not explained in the manual.
