 Kindle is Awesome March 16, 2010
John F. Madia
I received my Kindle, as ordered, when Amazon said it would be delivered. It is very easy to use and even easier to download books. I am not very computer savy, but this device is so easy to use that I immediately downloaded a few books and have been reading ever since.
I read an average of three to four books a week and the Kindle makes this even easier. I take my Kindle with me everywhere. I can read during breaks at work, or while waiting for appointments and carpoolers. The device's battery lasts a long time - I charge it weekly even though I have not gone below half power yet.
Great product and great service Amazon!

I had been looking at the Kindle for a year. I had looked at the Sony Reader and the Nook as well. I was a little nervous about buying a reader since I am a "book" person...something about turning a page. Anyway, I took the plunge and bought the Kindle on Friday 3/12/10. I had it shipped overnight so I had it on Saturday. After I charged the battery I was ready to go.(You can still read / navigate while battery is charging) I was instantly in love!
The Kindle is so easy to navigate and I had two books purchased in a matter of seconds and was off and reading. And the best part: I didn't even have to leave the comfort of my recliner.
A friend from work ask me to bring it on on Monday so we could compare readers since she has the Sony reader. She has made mention several times that she my return the Sony and buy a Kindle.
AWESOME!!! March 16, 2010

The perfect gift for my wife! She hasn't put it down in two weeks! As long I keep downloading the books for her, she stays occupied. Buying her the Kindle has seroiusly increased my Xbox time!

I have a problem with my sight and having something to read to me was just what I wanted, however when it arrived I found out very quickly that it was a computer speaking to me with very bad understanding. the bible reading versr and chapter was very bad.
Thanks again but no thanks, it would be great if you had a real persons voice that also understood when to pause and when not to.
