 Hooked March 12, 2010
Amanda Kates (Khartoum)
I bought the kindle as I was concerned about how many trees I was killing. This has to be the way of the future. It is extremely easy to read and operate. I have had so many positive comments on it and am thinking of asking for a referral fee from Amazon. It is that good.
Now before you buy do some research - some books are not available in your coutnry and you may have to wait a fair while before they are. If this does not bother you, purchase one straight away. I have reconciled the fact that I have to wait for some authors just like I wait for paperbacks.
Enjoy and no longer do you have to go into a store - Amazon Kindle is amazing.

judith bartman (YUMA, ARIZONA, US)
i love my kindle, the choice of books i can get is fantastic . the ease of getting these books is also a marvel for a senior citizen. i grew up reading books from my library and listening to the radio. now i get my books flying through the air, what a wonder. I do have one little complaint and that is the 5 way button is a bit hard to manage for me. but all in all its a great machine and so far 3 of my friends have also bought a kindle on my recommendation

Kindle rocks March 11, 2010
T. Lechlitner (Pasadena, MD)
I love the Kindle! I got a Nook for Christmas, it arrived Jan 15, 2010. Ordered 1 book and hated it. I returned it 3 weeks later with much hassle with Barnes and Noble regarding return policy plus I had to pay a 10% restocking fee! Ordered the Kindle and I am soooooo happy. Amazon has way more books available, especially books that are new in print. The Kindle is easy to hold, easy to switch pages and navagate, and quick to download books. They have added the new feature of google searches and even allow facebook access = like! I would like to see more magazines available.
Super Gift March 11, 2010

I received this as a birthday gift from my husband. LOVE IT! It is so easy to navigate around the menu and being able to change the font allows me to read without my glasses (added bonus). So exciting to know I have thousands of books at my fingertips.
Barb's Kindle Review March 11, 2010
Barbara W. Brown
I like the Kindle, although it takes some getting used to. I wish the Kindle had page numbers, rather than locations and percentages, this does not help me find where I last was. Sometimes the Kindle flips off and goes back to home and I lose where I was, so to find my previous location I have to hunt (rarely do I remember the chapter number). I would like to hold (bookmark?) a page to be able to go back to it repeatedly (flip back and forth) while I continue reading, I don't know if that's possible.
