 Amazon Kindle AMAZING!!!! 15 of 15 people found this review helpful.
In my opinion, the Amazon Kindle E-Book Reader is the future of the reading industry. You can download books, newspapers, and magazines for a fraction of the cost of you would pay to physically buy them. Just like you download ring tones on your cell phone, you can download a book from the Amazon Kindle Store. It is so easy---any person of any age can do this! It is about the size of a paperback book, so you can slip it in your purse, backpack, or briefcase, and read anywhere! It is so very easy to use, you only need to know the basics to get started reading. Buy a Kindle, save a few trees! Running out of shelf space--the Kindle is the answer. It holds over 200 books, etc., and uses a memory card to store countless more. I am so pleased with my Kindle, and I would highly recommend it to other readers.

I was on initially on the fence about this, I have been a book reader since I could start reading and didn't think it would make a difference. It does. The Kindle is not only easy to use and extremely convenient, it is fast, holds over 200 books and book prices are cheaper than if you bought them in the store. You can also subscribe to newspapers, blogs and magazines, download sample blurbs from books and easily browse new releases and best sellers. The only time I could not get a connection was briefly in a movie theatre while waiting for the movie to start. But it connected fine about 5 seconds later. The only downside is there is no light source or backlight, so just like with regular books, you need a book light or lamp to read. Also, I like to browse Amazons selection by price (there are alot of free and under $1 Kindle books) and I can only do so on their web site (as far as I can tell).
I love it, I carry it in my purse, so if I'm stuck waiting in line, in a dr's office, restaurant, movie theatre, I have it ready to go. The battery seems to hold a charge for a long time, I haven't clocked it, but I've never run out of battery. As of this writing, they have released a Kindle 2, which is thinner and lighter, so you may be able to get deals on the original Kindle for people looking to upgrade, either one is well worth the investment.
