Love it! March 9, 2010
E. Nelson (Massachusetts United States)
I have been using my Kindle for a month and I love it!
Easy to use, light, fits in my purse, no glare on screen, long battery life!
The reason for the 4 stars and not five is that the speech function is very confusing as it speaks even to say there are quotation marks, and inverted marks. Initially I was very confused not understanding what had just happened. The monotone voice, the lack of intonation, makes it really harder to follow during dialogues.
Overall a great product for the avid reader!
 If you love to read the kindle is for you. March 9, 2010
Suzann L. Smith (Denver)
I couldn't be more pleased with my Kindle 2. It's so handy to order a new book and the price per book is very
reasonable through Amazon. It particularly helps pass the time when I'm on the treadmill or bike at the gym.
Do you read? Get the Kindle. March 9, 2010
Jeremy A. Hale
Do you like books? Newspapers? Blogs? It's all here.
Easy to read screen that is a nice alternative to back lit displays. It is almost like reading a book. Its heavy enough to notice but disappears in your hand.
With hundreds of thousands of titles, and many of those free, its hard not to give this item a good review.
Good job Amazon. I love my Kindle.
Great Gift March 9, 2010
N. Parlberg (Corups TX)
I gave this as a gift and my husband loves it. It is convenient, simple and easy to handle. You can change the font size to make the print easier to read. You can download new books wirelessly. I also got the Edge leather book cover and the book light. All good quality and easy to use. I got mine through Amazon.
 Kind of disappointed... March 9, 2010
I. Hoffmann (Matawan, NJ United States)
The 5-way controller is way to small, I can't believe that they are selling them this way. That said, once I manage to get to where I want to be (usually involving some four letter words) this device is extremely convenient. Just having the ability to instantly download a book and be able to start reading in an instant was worth the money, not sure about the aggrevation....
