I am amazed that this is as good as it is. I am not sure what I expected, however this device almost never leaves my hand. Yes the buttons are a bit hard to get used to at first. Now that I have been using it for moths I wonder how I lived without it.
 Kindle is an unbelievable and wonderful way to read a book! July 24, 2008

Kindle makes it possible to have a book at your fingertips at all times. I love to be able to make notes as I read and to be able to look up unfamilar words. I have showed off the Kindle every chance I get. I always have to take a suitcase of books when I travel. Now I can take the Kindle in my carry-on or in my pocketbook. It's a great invention!
Love it July 24, 2008

The Kindle is great for what I wanted it for; reading books. Another benefit is no more book cases. Criticisms in other reviews may be valid, but I'm very happy. It's right for me
This is the best thing I have bought in a long time July 24, 2008

I love my new Kindle. I have downloaded and read numerous books in a very short time. I do not have to store these books, I can keep them on my Kindle itself, but it is also kept in my Amazon Kindle account on line, so should my Kindle get full-- I have about 10 to 15 full length novels on it now-- I can easily remove them from the Kindle and reload them from Amazon at any time. Very easy to download books, literally takes about 1 minute. It is a very convenient size and very light also.
This Kindle is very user friendly, and with only a small bit of directions you can get started reading. The script looks like a real print book, easier on the eyes than if it were made with back-light.
The Kindle is a terrific product. July 24, 2008

The Kindle is a terrific product. I've found very little to complain about with the Kindle.
Pros:
1. The device is so easy to use. The user manual located on the device
makes it easy to get started.
2. I found it easy to transfer the books (downloaded from other
websites) from my computer to my Kindle. (Mobi pocket only).
3. The design of the Kindle offers great readability in all types of
light. In fact, the light gray background makes it easier to read in
direct sunlight.
4. The battery life is awesome. I've been able to go about 5-7 days
between charges(with the wireless switched off most of the time).
5. The `next page' navigation buttons located on each side of the device
makes it easy to use in any situation.
Cons:
1. The `next page' button on the right hand side is too large. The size
makes is too easy to turn pages accidentally.
I recommend purchasing a different book cover. The cover that comes with the Kindle is not secure, but does serve its purpose temporarily.
I LOVE my Kindle. The price is a bit high, but well worth it. Several websites offer free books from the Gutenberg Project (legal) which makes it easy to build your classics library.
I rate this product 4.5 stars out of 5.
