Kindle is Cool! January 7, 2009

Bought it for my Husband and he loves it. Only thing I wish is that it could be used in the dark.
 AMAZING AMAZON KINDLE January 7, 2009

I originally purchased the Sony Digital Reader and returned it because of the inconvenience of downloading books. The one good feature of the Sony is the pivot on the reader and book cover. Aside from that, the Kindle wins hands down. The downloads are fast. Huge selection to choose from. Love the idle screens. I have not been able to figure out if I can make a separate list of the books I have read already on the Kindle. If not, it would be a nice added feature but not enough to stop me from purchasing it. It is always with me and causes excitement whenever someone realizes what I am doing.

I love it! I got this as a Christmas present and it is the best thing ever! Now I just need the publishers to put more of the books I read on the kindle. I am also a student and hope I can get my textbooks for it. Best gift ever!

The primary problem with Amazon's Kindle is not the product or the support; it is not the poorly designed case or the terrible ergonomics or the file limitations or the dozens of broken screens. The major problem with the Kindle is the fan club, those of you in Internetland who have nothing better to do than argue with and attack and browbeat and accuse people who, for one reason or another, aren't willing to bow to your electronic God. You call them liars, idiots, clods, jerks, trolls, everything but child molesters, and that's probably just a matter of time. You tell them, despite Amazon's promotional "drop test," that they are stupid to think they can actually drop one. Why you care what someone else thinks about your silly little toy is a mystery to me, but you do. You care more than can possibly be healthy. And how do these dissenting opinions affect you? Well, they don't. This is one club of which I do not want to be a part, however wonderful you think your product is. I would like to suggest that you start a religion, buy yourselves a couple tons of Koolaid and have a party.
Two defective Kindles January 6, 2009

I loved my Kindle for the first few months and I think they are wonderful. But, despite the fact that I took very good care of it; it broke after about three months. I was willing to forgive that..stuff happens. And, they were very nice and sent a new one almost the next day despite the fact that it was a few days before Christmas.
However, now, two weeks later my new Kindle has stopped working and I wonder if the defect is in the design.
Of course, both times it broke I was engrossed in the book I was reading. I'm glad i didn't depend on it for my periodicals.
