 Best gift ever November 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I received the Kindle as an anniversary gift. Having lived with me for over 50 years, my husband was attuned to the fact that: (1)I always had a book on the bedside table, (2)I always carry a book in the car, (3)I usually have a paperback in my purse. Now that we are downsizing it is becoming more evident that we have no room to store our frequent book purchases. I can now carry with me as many books as I am interested in reading in one small package that is smaller than an average paperback. Plus, being able to adjust the print size is a true gift.

I love the kindle. It is so easy to use and easy to read. I love that the books are easy to get and so affordable, but the down side is not all books are available for kindle use... BUT you can ask the publishor to release it to kindle. I think that the design is great and I know some people complined about the button use but it isn't bad at all. All in all, I love the kindle and would recommend it to anyone!
No More Bookshelves November 22, 2008

My Kindle has kept me from throwing out the furniture to make room for more bookshelves. I'm a reader, my husband is a reader, and we both buy books. In our home there are books all over the place. He's retired, but I work full-time and have classes in the evening, so my lifestyle just doesn't allow me to get books from the library and read them before they are due back. It is just great to pick up my Kindle and read whenever the opportunity arises. It is also convenient to be able to switch from one book to another. I can check out reference material in one book and then get back to my novel without ever losing my place. And it is awesome for traveling. I don't have to choose which book to take - I can take them all! The Kindle is light as a feather. My Kindle is the most wonderful gift I could have ever received.
 I Hated it at first.......... November 22, 2008

I recieved my Kindle about a month ago, and must admit, I hated it! I thought it looked very cheap and it was so frustrating to use! I kept pushing the next/previous page buttons. I even wrote in to get a return authorization to send it back! By the suggestion of another Kindle ownner, I took their advice and used it for "a week, then decide" So I did, and now I simply Love it. It does take some getting used to though, But it is Awesome. I have read more books in the last month, than I had in the entire year. And because of the cost savings on books, I have saved over $60 in the difference! It won't be long before it simply pays for itself. I would, and have, recommended it to anyone that will listen! It is simply the best thing I have purchased all year.

I have not had a day that I am not without my Kindle since I first pre-ordered my Kindle last year. I enjoy the convenience of having my library of books and the ability to download anything from books to music to viewing various websites. All of this at no additional charge on Kindles WisperNet system that is cost free and available anywhere that cell signals are located.
I love my kindle and highly recommend it to anyone that is an avid reader. It is so very easy to use and carry around. You can change the text size to any size to accommodate your eyesight and visual preference. And don't forget that it also has a comprehensive American Dictionary for any word you need defined. With hundred of thousands of books, blogs and newspapers to receive on your Kindle, why ever destroy another tree for paper again. Be green and reduce your CO2 imprint on this planet by going paperless.
