 Kindle-riffic January 9, 2009

I love my kindle! I just downloaded a new book by my fav author and saved over $20! The only drawback I'm having is when I'm reading in the Doctor's office I have so many people inquiring and asking for a demo I don't get a chance to read. I am finding the blogs extreamly useful with conversion info for my .lit and .pdf books and can't wait to get time to convert. My hubby, who got it for me, is looking forward to selling my extensive printed library on amazon and clearing out a lot of room in our home. If you read $5 paperbacks you won't find much of a savings but if you read author's who's book generally run over $20 you'll save a bundle, BIG TIME! From a person who spent easily over $1500 in printed matter last year, it's worth both the price and the wait time. One suggested improvement would be to put the 'back' button on top of the 'next' button, I find I'm constantly hitting it accidentally.
The Best Gift I Ever Received! January 9, 2009

Mine was given to me as a gift. It has been perfect! It's so easy to use and keep up with. I love that I can take multiple books with me on a trip and they are all in on spot, my Kindle. It's packing made easy for a traveler like me.
 Waste of money January 9, 2009

A book is much easier to keep up with and a lot cheaper. Not sure what all of the hype is over the Kindle as I think it is very over-rated.

After researching both Kindle and sony e-readers I decided on the Kindle and after recieving it so glad I did. After having some initial trouble starting (I'm truly techno challenged) I made a call to tech support who had me up and reading in seconds. I find it easy to buy and download books from Amazon and what a plus not having to buy and carry all those books, not to mention the saving in cost of hard back books. The initial cost was expensive, but worth every penny. So glad I chose the Kindle for both ease of use and conveniance.
Great product with great support January 8, 2009

OK - things don't always go as expected and my Christmas Kindle had a glitch on the screen. I contacted Tech Support and they had me Reset a couple of times and it soon became obvious this would not correct it. No problem. They immediately ordered a new one for me and sent me a return label to return the defective one. The new one arrived in 3 days - so they obviously have ways of getting replacements for this high-demand product. Now - how to re-download the books I had already purchased? Tech Support again. And again, great service, no waiting, they did everything for me and couldn't have been nicer. You don't need my review of the product because there are so many here that say the same thing. I love the convenience of having several books available at all times and not having the weight of them in my purse. And for a "book-aholic" who has trouble cleaning out her bookcase periodically, this is a real boon. Needless to say, it was my husband who bought this for me!
