 Kindle reading device March 19, 2010
Yvonne Stewart (germany)
This is the best present I have ever bought for myself! I love to read and the fact that I can have any book I choose onto my Kindle within a few minutes of purchase from anywhere in the world is pretty amazing. I live in Germany where it is not easy to find books in English and this has been a lifesaver for me. Thanks Amazon!
Kindle - I've Misjudged You March 19, 2010
R. Puckett (Clarksville, TN USA)
I've spent a lot of time over the past years deriding the concept of the Kindle. I've always said that I really prefer the feel of a book in my hand. But after cleaning boxes of paperbacks out of my office, I came to the realization that I normally read a paperback once ... maybe twice ... and then it becomes clutter. So, after much consideration, I decided to buy the Kindle to replace the piles of paperbacks.
Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. But I have to say I love this device. The cover I purchased to protect my new Kindle still gives me that 'holding a book' feeling, and it's nice to finish a book and not wonder what I'm going to do with the paperback (I was taught that books are to be shared, not thrown away). The device is easy to use, and the E Ink technology is remarkably comfortable to the eye.
The ability to download a sample of a book I may be interested in is also very appealing. I have peeked around in books I probably wouldn't have given a second look in a bookstore, comfortable in the knowledge that if I don't like it I can remove it in a couple of clicks.
In short, I have gone from a Kindle opponent to a Kindle supporter in little over a week. There are still books that I will buy in hardcover and put on my bookshelf, but those books by favorite authors would have ended up on my bookshelf in hardcover anyway.
The reality is that I very well may have purchased my last paperback.
I love my Kindle March 19, 2010

I truly love my Kindle. I have not had any problems with this reader unlike other products like this. I wish is was back lit so I could use this at night without a light but other than that one thing this is a perfect product for me.
The Kindle Experience March 19, 2010
Ms. J. Lewis (Cyprus and the Gulf)
I purchased the new Kindle late one night by clicking one-click almost by mistake, because I had been looking at it on the website for many days, wondering if I could afford one. Two days later it was with my daughter in the UK and within a week was being transported to me in Nicosia. It could not be sent directly to Cyprus and I don't understand why not. I could not make that out. In Cyprus we have no Whispernet, but it is very simple to download books on to my laptop and simply drag them across to my Kindle. Through my Kindle I discovered the Gutenburg Project and am now editing books for it. The downloads from Amazon are simple, but there are not too many of the kind of books I am interested in available as yet. However there are many other sites so that I am reading books I normally either could not access or could not afford. My Kindle is the best thing I've found for a long time. I have been showing it to people from Nicosia to Bahrain and Muscat so far. All of them have said they want one.
I asked a question about changing the country I am in when I travel, but I didn't receive a reply.
However if you read a lot - buy one - get a leather cover, and a waterproof cover!
Love it, but why can't I LEND my books to other Kindle users? March 19, 2010

I love pretty much every aspect of my Kindle except for the fact that I can't LEND my books to my sister, or my mother, or even my husband. Right now, my husband is reading one of my Kindle books, so I had to give up the Kindle so he can finish the book. How frustrating. If I could just transfer it to his Kindle for a bit, that would be so handy, and then he could pass it back when he is done. Amazon's competitor, the Nook allows lending. When will KINDLE allow lending too?
