Rating: - Best item I ever purchased
When I was young I disliked reading, preferred the quickness of TV. As I got older I realized the reward and richness one received from reading. Nothing encouraged my reading more than a Kindle.
No more recycling of newspapers; No more paying high prices for hardbacks, only $9.99!; no more heavy books to tote; no more black ink marks from newspaper print; no more going down our long driveway in one's pj's in freezing weather to get the newspaper......these are just a few of the advantages.
Not having to plug it into a computer is a big advantage. Waking up in the morning ... Read More

The Kindle is exactly as advertised. It reads great, works great....basically is everything you have heard or read. So i wont go into another product explaination.

Rating: - Worth Every penny!!
I bought this for my wife for our 3 yr anniversary, and all I know is that she is loving it!!
It is easy to use, and ordering books is just so simple!! The hardest part is to figure out which titles you want!
I would recommend it to anyone, it is worth every penny and then some!!

Get the hint Amazon - hate for you to continue to lose business

When I was growing up I used to read all the time. I would get books from the Bookmobile and read three or four novels a week. I eventually lost interest in constantly visiting the library and my reading dropped off, and eventually stopped all together. In recent years I have been trying to get back into reading, but checking out books from the library, or buying them from the bookstore really didn't appeal to me. I tried reading on my computer and PDA but I just couldn't get comfortable with them. When I heard about e-ink my interest was piqued. When I had an opportunity to buy a Kindle I jumped at the ...
