 Feel so ripped off.... July 29, 2010
L. Duong (Southern California)
I like this device, but having bought this six months ago at a price I'm embarrassed to state and seeing the price go down, down, down every other month... it's just really upsetting. Amazon should do right the folks who bought early on making this device where #1 in its catagory and #1 most gifted and wished for item. Amazon should take care of its loyal base and the folks who are buying more e-books than printed copies.
I do like this device.
 The greatest thing since sliced bread... July 29, 2010
M. A. Burk
I'm slow to adopt new technologies--there has to be a real benefit as opposed to a "need" generated by some marketing department. And, as a bibliophile, I love the sensory experience of reading--the feel of the book in the hand, the smell of the ink and glue, the way the paper moves when I turn a page. Even though the thought of having literally a thousand books in my hand was seductive, I resisted the siren call of the Kindle for a long time.
I finally succumbed--and I am now enchanted by this marvelous device. It is more than I hoped it would be. I can download a book on a whim (which is dangerous!) I'm never without something that I want to read, as opposed to what's available. I can hold a book of 1,000 pages in just one hand. I can read with the lights off--where was the Kindle when I was a child!
In sum, the single greatest purchase I've ever made. Thank you, Jeff Bezos!
Book reading of the future! July 29, 2010

I absolutely love my Kindle, I have been wanting to purchse one for a very long time. I am so glad that the price reduction was available . I know several friends that have one & they also love them. The ease of ordering new books on Amazon amazes me. I am recommending the Kindle to everyone I know & I will be a customer for a very long time!! THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!

Very easy to use, bought screen and it helps with glare. Loads quickly and the battery lasts a long time before I have to charge.
So in love with my Kindle!! July 29, 2010
H.K. de Gamboa (Merida, Yucatan, Mexico)
I live outside of the United States and books in English are hard to come by. Every time i go to the states i can only bring so many books back with me and it only takes me so long to get through them and then i'm stuck waiting for my next trip until i have new stuff to read. I've used the kindle for PC program but it is not comfortable to sit in front of a computer for that long and even less comfortable to read for any extended period from an LCD screen. I had debated getting a kindle for the last couple years but when amazon lowered the price to 189 i decided to go for it. I was a little bummed when two weeks after receiving my kindle they came out with a new version and lowered the price on the kindle 2. But that doesn't change my satisfaction with the product.
I've had my kindle for two weeks now and i'm so in love with it i'm thinking about naming it! Before getting it i was concerned that the 6 inch screen would be too tiny but it's actually just about a paragraph shorter than the pages of most printed books, so it turned out not to be a problem. In fact, i think i actually like it better; i've never been a fan of novels with large pages anyway.
Another thing i thought i would miss was the gratification you get from being able to see how far through the book you are. With the kindle when you're reading there is a bar on the bottom that tells what percent of the book you have covered. Very nice feature, it helps it feel more like a regular book.
The kindle feels great in the hand and is very comfortable to hold and read with. It is lighter than most books and easier to hold because you don't have to bother with holding back pages.
The screen is incredible!! It blows my mind! I had never seen a kindle and i had imagined how the screen would be but it is even more paper-like than i imagined. Absolutely amazing!
A lot of people (who don't have the pleasure of owning a kindle) seem to be confused or put-off by the fact that it is not back-lit or that there is no color. If you're looking for something that does everything than the kindle is not for you. The kindle is a replacement for hard-copy books so that is its only purpose. Personally, I want it to be as much like a book as possible and i think it fulfills that. When i'm reading i feel like i'm looking at paper and holding a book. I can buy almost any book i can think of wherever i am and lighting fast. If your goal is to read, than what else could you possibly want from an e-reading than that?
Thank you, thank you, thank you Amazon for a great product AND for fast and secure international shipping AND for FREE international 3G! I couldn't be more satisfied!
