0 why would anyone get this instead of an ipad the ipad has so much more functionality why anyone would want to limit themselves to kindle is beyond me 1 impressed instead of writing long review wanted to saw just few things this is the first reader ve ever owned and doubt if will ever own another one until this kindle dies everything that has been stated under features on the kindle page have held up in the few days ve owned this wonderful device the only downside see is having to budget transferring my current paper library to the kindle but can live with that if you are on the fence about getting kindle don be get the wifi edition and prepare to enjoy hours of reading anything you own anywhere you want to at anytime 1 love it had the kindle 3g wifi for days love it so far it is easy to use sync seamlessly with all the books already got from amazon also converted some UNK pdf documents and transferred it wirelessly to the kindle for free for me reading on the kindle has been alot easier on my eyes than the ipad which also own the kindle fit easily in my purse even with the amazon leather case brought for it very happy with the kindle 1 why like my new kindle received my new kindle yesterday it is my first 3g device other than regular cell phone here is what like it is easy to read lots of options to view larger text everything is clear it fits into my suit pocket the web browser works ve accessed my email ebay and other sites it is not nearly as quick as my dsl but works it displays japanese which is important for my business the documentation was easy to understand for UNK year old UNK the page turns are quick my son and wife also like it the 3g is free so far so good 1 my first kindle love it this is my first kindle love the small size and light weight it easy to read and hold with either hand no cover required have the kindle app on my ipod touch and actually enjoyed reading on that it too small though and the battery isn built for extended daily reading my new kindle seems to be exactly what needed right out of the box it worked perfectly no problems with downloading wifi access or syncing my books transferred seamlessly from my ipod my only UNK is what type of case to get ordered the UNK case based on the reviews of the model for the last kindle not exactly what want but nothing else is available yet would recommend this to anyone who loves to read and doesn want to deal with weights to hold books open or the UNK of hardcover books think it will be great for travel as well ve already purchased couple of books for an upcoming trip which will definitely make my carry on bag lighter than usual also stopped in to today and am pleased went with the kindle over the nook significantly heavier 1 an improvement over the last one with new issues smaller means can palm easily in one hand and turn the pages with my finger or thumb wear medium to large UNK if that helps screen contrast is great makes reading in bright light wonderful the new light texture finish to the charcoal model makes holding it more confident however it will show fingerprints easily reminds me when had black macbook how much of paint it was to hold will probably get UNK type of cover for it to keep it from getting UNK since UNK the surface taking on lot of wear from contact with other UNK update the new screen contrast is very welcome for me will say that would like to see easier wifi functionality when 3g is not available it UNK for good minute for my wifi signal as UNK UNK it from 3g signal before connecting once connected it was still spotty in UNK connection keep in mind that was sitting UNK from my wireless router and could clearly see clear strong signal from my droid and my macbook pro connection with the smaller size although convenient for one hand reading and holding the page turning buttons takes little getting used to tended to turn two pages at time with the right hand side button the left hand side one works fine 1 my first kindle finally device that exceeds my expectations at price point that compares to dinner for two in nice restaurant setup was painless the ink screen is easy to read and the power adapter is UNK designed for UNK ac or usb connections look forward to UNK this thing in my briefcase the joy of commuting on train 1 got it yesterday hand delivered by ups great little thing my kindle arrived at my house UNK yesterday great little thing for UNK books newspapers and periodicals will mainly use it for subscribing us and international newspapers so far no hassle only pleasure 1 help for those with UNK my husband has UNK UNK and he likes to read however reading normal book causes UNK UNK and bothers him so he didn want to read as much checked out all the book readers out there and both the sony and nook have touch screens which would make it harder the amazon kindle is an answer to our UNK we set it for larger font and he literally won put it down 1 UNK received kindle for my birthday year ago and went from 10 books year to reading over 150 books in the last year it been wonderful the new latest generation kindle is even better than the kindle if you can believe that it smaller yet the screen is the same size and the clarity is so much better till saw the two of them side by side wouldn have told you there was any problem with the second gen screen the buttons on the newest gen are easier to use and they are UNK out of the way the enter button instead of sticking up is UNK that stays flat against the devise overall can say enough good things about the newest generation kindle get it 1 newest version best reader yet after using my kindle UNK now for two days am convinced that there is no other reader on the market that even comes close and have used few of them my wife owns an ipad that am currently writing my review on now and while the books look clean on that device the weight and even the contrast do not UNK up to the newest kindle purchased the wifi and 3g model and have to tell you that downloading books on wifi literally happens in seconds not that it that big of deal but just goes to show you have fast this really is only thing that have an issue with has really nothing to do with the kindle itself but the new cover with light it makes it much heavier and like the fact this new version is even lighter than the last but that is the cover review but kindle review also need to explore whether you can turn 3g off and leave only wifi on if you like that option to save battery life more reading needs to be done on my part there if you are looking for the top of the line reader on the market there is none no better than is version by the UNK the contrast on the new edition is fantastic never really had an issue on my kindle but after getting this model can see dramatic difference more in UNK review later but thoroughly impressed update after one week well while still love this new kindle there are couple things think need to be addressed UNK the refresh rates on this device appear to be no different not that it that big deal but still if you are going to advertise it recommend it being noticeable not only that but when you hit the home button when you are in book or article it to me takes noticeably longer to get back to the home screen 2nd battery life seems to be good but just not as good as advertised now the issue believe is the fact that they say you can get weeks with 3g or month with no wifi and no 3g well here to say that with 3g in week got less than that time now think the thing that makes this worse is that you have to disable wifi in order to achieve this however what really UNK about this is that you have to go into settings and do this every single time why amazon did not make dedicated wifi button or switch is UNK therefore don feel like doing this every time and then UNK so not going to be able to give an accurate review beyond that contrast is amazing as said also bought the cover for this kindle with the built in light and it very good but does add quite bit of weight to the kindle so ve been removing it from the kindle carefully and if do use it in low light times just put it back on pain yeah but to be honest don mind since the light seems to be better than the ones have had in the past browser ll tell you what this is really UNK was expecting really just nothing from this with slight improvements but it is 100 usable when needed yeah not really fast but really readable and much more user friendly impressed given what expected there no doubt in my mind that there no way the nook will touch the kindle in both performance and usability borrowed friends nook when UNK to UNK because we were reading the same book and wanted to give it test drive refresh rates are not even half of the kindle and it seemed to really lag and was kind of awkward to use really impressed thus far and will provide review after one full month reduced my rating slightly since think battery life is not as advertised although still quite good and don notice different in page turning refresh rates 1 two for one this is my first kindle like many others was waiting for the price to come down and all the bugs to get worked out before buying my first ereader and let me tell you the k3 was worth waiting for it is an amazing device at great price point the display is extremely sharp and the contrast is as good as you ll find on paper after reading the kindle for couple hours and coming back to my computer the absolute ease of reading digital ink is even more appreciated physically the thing that UNK me most is just how thin the device is but ll let all the other reviewers describe the device the part least expected from the k3 is how well it UNK the web with its experimental browser obviously it renders in but pictures formatting and everything else comes across really well it is only 25 of the web browser the ipad is but as far as am concerned that 25 is all need was considering getting an ipad so could look stuff up from my couch while watching tv simple things like weather stock charts scores UNK wikipedia etc but with this new kindle it can easily handle these things and that is why feel like got two devices for the price of one with the k3 people in the media have said the ipad will kill off the kindle well for me the kindle is UNK sale from the ipad now like said it is only 25 of the web browser the ipad is so navigation and zooming are little clunky it is hard to beat apple user interface but it is very UNK for looking information up on the web anyone who wants the full experience the web has to offer will need to find something else of course the newly found web surfing capability is making me second guess my decision to UNK for the wi fi only model 1 UNK UNK the new kindle is amazing am so impressed with my new kindle am someone that had the kindle since christmas and have thoroughly enjoyed reading on it am giving it to my UNK daughter for people reading this review that do not know about book sharing you absolutely can share content with kindles on the same account that means multiple users can read the same content at the same time also must mention that the upgrade is unbelievable 1 the best kindle yet had the kindle for short time before the kindle was announced and immediately ordered the new k3 my first impression is that it is all the wonderful UNK of the kindle with many great improvements love the size to me it not to small and not to big but perfect medium the new way controller works great with no worry of UNK like the previous model the darker font makes it even easier to read and even more like book and the clarity of the screen is UNK noticeably plus like the option of having both the wifi and the 3g and the both are fast was little worried that wouldn like how thin the page turn buttons were and that they wouldn work as well and was wrong the new button are better and turning the pages is noticeably faster the missing numbers doesn bother me didn have problem getting to the numbers and using them find that the on button on the bottom of the kindle is easier to get to and preferred the placement of the volume button on the bottom of the kindle doesn bother me when turned on the kindle after opening the box it immediately downloaded UNK books in less than minutes the new back of the kindle gives little more grip while holding the kindle UNK in short my first impression is that the kindle is must for all book lovers everywhere edit 12 15 10 still love my kindle actually love it more am never without my kindle love it so much bought my mom wifi kindle for her birthday and she loves it love my kindle so much bought my husband kindle for christmas and can wait to give it to him think more excited to give him the kindle than to get any presents in total have UNK to UNK kindle purchases and two more on the way wish knew more people to give kindle to 1 wi fi problems got my new k3 yesterday and spent the day charging and adding my books from home on it the pdf reader is great and it reads my custom made books just fine too then try to set up wi fi saved money by sticking to wi fi only it UNK my wi fi server fine and even connects with it without hitch but then when try to register it it tells me that it cannot connect at this time have turned the wi fi on and off several times restarted the kindle and rebooted it checked to make sure my wi fi is working fine and am getting full wi fi bars on my kindle so why can not connect don mind having to go through my computer to purchase books but have to have the kindle UNK just to read those books plus have lots of books purchased for an older kindle that want to still have this has gotten me really upset and cs has been unable to help me as the UNK number on my kindle didn even match their UNK when called in yesterday they say they ve fixed that but that doesn help the device itself when can even get it to register initially 1 just amazing is not enough received my kindle wifi just hours ago and may say that there is nothing to take from what the big magazines like pc world are saying about it just to say amazing is not enough very small but big enough very light but heavy enough very UNK reading yes yes easy to navigate yes good keyboard yes but with line with number keys and some symbols would be an improvement bought it for reading books and for this it is more than amazing perfect extraordinary have no words to UNK it 1 kindle getting cheaper books getting pricey ve had my kindle since christmas and have to say love it find it disturbing though that while the price of the kindle has gone down dramatically the price of their books has gone up as dramatically see many more books being offered above the 99 price point it hard to justify buying an ebook when you can get print copy for few dollars more or in some cases for less 1 good but not all improved overall good but like smaller lighter but buttons small and little UNK both the way controller the page forward back are little less comfortable that the kindle realize the web browser is meant to be experimental and is minor benefit but on my old kindle could easily quickly check my gmail account on the latest version the browser does not seem to let me enter my account name or password so can never reach email thus feel an idiot for sending back the kindle which simply worked better and don know if amazon cares enough to fix such problem figured out the email problem see response to comment below so changed the review to star but still feel the buttons are UNK and so harder to use than the previous version 1 kindle easily tops my ipad in the ereader category update after few weeks of use must say the k3 is absolutely top notch still no regrets the forward back buttons are not flimsy just different form the k2 like that forward and back are on both sides and that the buttons are smaller the compact size of the k3 is also major bonus am able to carry it around much easier than before so reading more rather than provide long review thought would provide few highlights UNK text is much sharper than the k2 which always felt was low on contrast the k3 contrast is excellent page turning is faster but navigating the cursor to word to see its definition is still sluggish and UNK the size feels lot smaller than the k2 the back has more rubbery feeling UNK rather the smooth slippery feel of the k2 the k3 is easier to hold for long periods of time since it is good bit lighter and that UNK backing am able to hold the k3 in one hand for good period of time forward reverse buttons are smaller and feel little UNK than the k2 however they are not as easy to press by mistake so prefer the k3 buttons the k3 directional buttons are much better typing is solid in good way web browser is basic at best don count on doing any real browsing but it decent for quick web look up pdf reader is rudimentary will definitely use my ipad for that glare is low but there is some UNK glare not sure can go along with the claim of absolutely no glare much easier on the eyes than the ipad when reading documents the k3 is small enough for me to be able to take both along the price makes this no brainer if you love to read books it beats the ipad as an ereader but still love my ipad for everything else 1 kindle feel UNK to review my kindle online because of the impact its had on my life am type person who is always on the go waiting in lines used to cause me to become UNK and UNK out since purchased my kindle waiting now longer causes my UNK pressure to sky UNK actually feel UNK and less UNK since my purchase however my kindle is only as good as the company that backs it UNK pretty regularly with amazon prior to my kindle purchase and every UNK was UNK simple and efficient love amazon love my kindle and love my books thank you amazon 1 want to be first my kindle shipped yesterday delivery promised tomorrow based on all the excellent reviews of kindle and kindle ii must give the kindle iii stars 1 to help with most potential UNK decisions it long but hopefully worthwhile read so don usually write review at all unless feel strongly bad about the product and definitely don write review with the intention of updating but here goes beware it long but hopefully very UNK and maybe even little UNK no UNK and UNK comments please this is solely my opinion and not UNK of fact and adore apple products just don have blind UNK bought the latest kindle k3 in some UNK in graphite with 3g and wi fi ve had it less than 24 hours and man it has been roller UNK ride of love and annoyance my UNK is to definitely UNK down the cash for 3g unless you live play and work in UNK where at network doesn work also if you don travel don travel much save yourself the love the 3g feature and could not have read my k2 at the beach without it for UNK UNK was extremely careful don have children to UNK water or sand accidentally and used handy UNK UNK lock for UNK UNK water proof cover it also helped that our place was super close so if both of us were not there to watch it took it back to the house hassle yes worth it to have instant access to all my books and new ones without the extra suitcase read ridiculously fast absolutely will add that there have been some wi fi network compatibility and wi fi only users seem to be complaining more of defects bugs since have the k2 have white granted not with the improved display but think can have an opinion chose the graphite to have something different from my k2 have device that looks little sleeker and thought the screen contrast looked little bit better from the product UNK think the screen contrast is great and the graphite does not distract me at all well except my UNK my new UNK that will fade with time though however had white been given to me or the only thing available don think the experience would be UNK at all go with your UNK and what will make you happy will note if you can read small print easily or have poor eyesight in general go with white the letters for the controls are black on the white interface where as my graphite has light UNK gray print on the dark interface which would be harder to see and thus use love the contrast love the speed love the addition of wi fi and of course the smaller size no super huge leap from my k2 but all the little things add up to an even better experience didn think that was possible had issues with the screen and speed upon start up yesterday hence annoying my k2 was working way better but fully shutting down the unit having everything transferred completely and letting the poor thing charge completely seemed to help everything but also expecting an UNK firmware or software update really soon will update in couple weeks k2 k3 am doing fine with the new control panel but my fingers are tiny power switch and volume UNK to the bottom was stupid think get the why behind the volume probably helps the size be cute down but there room on top for the button and that way better easier location kudos on copying nook back and forth side keys however big fan do miss something random though the metal back cover k2 does feels like better quality item than k3 and think that part of why finally to nook to ipad or to kindle if you want device to be awesome at reading and not kill your UNK into an early UNK of UNK definitely go nook or kindle the other features they do besides the basic reading are weak just remember they are intended to be UNK secondary sort of the UNK on top people only mostly in it for the reading should note the touchscreen glare difficulty to read in bright light and UNK issues with ipad the ipad is an awesome media device for people who want the ability to read with clarity only the UNK UNK UNK led screens can produce as well as UNK get the stock reports type an mail while watching the latest UNK as you walk down the UNK using the google maps directions and hopefully not running into people as you stare at your incredibly expensive and yes gorgeous netbook wanna be personally prefer the iphone kindle or nook combo together they weigh less than an ipad and actually fit in my purse in their cases too no less also was one of the first to pre order nook had wanted kindle from k2 UNK but it was way too expensive for what it was then months later the nook appeared and was everything kindle was but better and cheaper device not books lt at the time UNK that pre order and have been so happy with that decision cs was UNK from the start to even today not to mention all the initial and UNK bugs issues amazon definitely has it own issues but they really do put the customer first in lot of situations where said sucks to be you amazon library was also larger and cheaper cheaper has since gone away but saved lot for while especially since bought lot of kindle books pre sales tax like having or devices able to read the same books and again coming from someone who just wants to read books on her device the battery life of k2 or k3 is unbelievable compared to nook nook users don quote you can turn the lower screen off in this UNK you lose deal with it other nook features are better but not this and for me at least it critical feature text to speech when enabled is awesome for UNK and working in my UNK goes very well with UNK is it audio book quality heck no but it free and works in pinch luckily got k2 as christmas birthday gift and it has been UNK for the history books and if k3 ends up working out for me hope my husband will love my old k2 as much as did now that you can make collections only have one UNK problem with my chosen device sadly want my reader to be able to bring other sources of fun to the table and yet it UNK keeping to it protected digital format hoping with enough time it will open up and take our relationship to the next level so it UNK will amazon open up or will gets its cs act together get their in store nook experience much improved and have new nook that so awesome it UNK me to switch despite heavy UNK protected investment with my kindles last note if you want the amazon k3 covers and lighted covers look up reviews and actual customer UNK first product page photos have been misleading in some instances love the cover with light waiting on super sexy UNK orange to complete my UNK UNK ereading experience 1 the best reader just got better how is it possible that amazon took great product and made it so much better this new kindle is simply amazing the first thing owners of previous models will notice is how light and compact the new kindle feels it just UNK you to slip it into pocket and go the UNK is sleek and beautiful to look at but the real test is how it reads and here where the new kindle UNK there is marked difference in the contrast of the ink screen on this kindle and its predecessors the background is whiter the text darker and overall just easier on the eyes in addition there is an option to choose between three different UNK and eight font sizes which should satisfy most readers needs the voice UNK menu option is impressive while don have vision issues tried it out and can only imagine what UNK this will be for those with low or no vision the reading feature sounds to my UNK smoother than the earlier version and bit less mechanical like the new page turn buttons very much they tilt UNK more natural movement than the UNK UNK of my k2 and dx and they have nice crisp feel with little or no click the new navigation button is easy to use but will take day or two to seem natural after the little joystick ve gotten so used to the keyboard is responsive and while like to have numbers on the keypad it doesn feel especially burdensome to have to push the sym key to bring them up speed this new kindle seems UNK charged compared to my earlier models ve been kindle owner since 2007 the page turns are indeed faster the cursor literally UNK around page and the whole operation just feels much UNK where was absolutely UNK though is in downloading from my large collection of previously purchased books decided to give the wi fi try for downloading so signed on to my home network then went to the manage your kindle page on amazon almost as soon as pushed the send to button the screen would flash and the book would appear have never had items download so quickly with the lower pricing added features lighter weight smaller size longer battery life and improved readability this new kindle is easily the best reader out there 1 great job on the 3rd generation my kindle is the first device ve owned that makes me feel like living in the future first it was with the k1 and then the k2 now with the k3 even more so really like the increased contrast and darkness of the font the k3 is smaller than the k2 but it feels really solid the page change buttons UNK UNK now as the k1 did but don have any problem with UNK them inadvertently the web access using the wi fi port is really quick as are the book downloads and book description UNK the kindle combined with the kindle apps kindle store content and amazon kindle support UNK me that ll be reading on kindle for years to come 1 went from kindle to kindle and love my new k3 got the kindle in june 2008 about months after its UNK fell in love with it having my books with me anywhere anytime on such an easy to read screen built in dictionary etc etc we all know the benefits by now need not UNK them here now have the kindle and must say falling in love all over again the improved contrast screen is even easier to read on and sharper the response time is much faster when looking up word definitions or moving from screen to screen page turns are lot quicker collections are nice tool to keep your home screen UNK and the wifi and 3g both work very well the ability to have virtually any book that you could possibly want within 60 seconds of thinking about it to being able to carry around library on single small device is truly remarkable have found new ways of reading since ve gotten my kindle never used to start more than one book at time if for no other reason because carrying around multiple UNK is not very practical however with my kindle have found that like to have several books going at once am able to jump from an intense nonfiction book to light UNK UNK UNK book to mystery novel all with just few clicks so if not in the mood for one particular type of book yet still have time to read am not out of luck able to find something enjoyable and thus make the most of time how wonderful love the seamless UNK amazon has setup between the hardware kindle the availability of so many books to making the books readable on mobile devices such as my droid amazon has done wonderful job of making reading so accessible which really is what it is all about in the end right thank you amazon for another wonderful kindle you have made dedicated customer very happy again 1 my very first kindle my kindle arrived today and so far love it have two young children so my reading time is limited and this is so easy to just grab whenever get the chance it fits easily into my bag along with all of the kid stuff without adding the weight and bulk of an actual book 1 fantastic upgrade from k1 only minor issues upgraded from the original kindle probably would not have even done that except well UNK on it first the positives which is pretty much everything the third generation kindle is an improvement in pretty much every regard the display is much more responsive from page turns to typing let me say this again much more responsive if you ve ever read book online the kindle will page turn faster then hitting the next chapter button and waiting for it to load the display is also noticeably better since UNK on my first kindle ve been doing lot of reading on the computer not one of those people that will complain about that as my eyes don become strained by the activity that said forgotten just how much more pleasant it is to read on eink it smaller the first gen kindle was always just slightly too big the 3g connection is much much quicker to make its initial connection even the usb power cord is pretty clever and UNK the number of UNK have by one the page forward back buttons no longer hit by accident wasn huge problem before but all improvements are nice don notice too much difference with the actual software collections is very nice addition but think that was included already the bugs and some odd navigation that was in the first kindle have been ironed out and things are very intuitive the wifi addition is awesome no more money charged to you for sending documents to the kindle and it is easy to setup the graphite vs the previous white is also better hard on electronics and the white quickly became well let just call it UNK now the negatives these are really minor UNK as the overall experience is fantastic and UNK and UNK over the first gen kindle first the back button is too close to the navigation buttons maybe as time goes by will stop pressing it instead of the down button maybe next it would have been nice if the keypad had numbers on it instead of having to use the sym button even just written across the top ten buttons and using toggle button to activate them truth be told though rarely use numbers when using the keypad so not big deal the manual UNK that you can access audible from the kindle maybe the feature hasn been added yet but can figure out how to do that it UNK me that it says can but can figure out how but don see myself actually using the kindle to play audiobooks anyway still bugs me also not new to this generation but not fan of not having replaceable battery an sd slot or some other slot would also be nice but as don UNK using the kindle for pictures mp3s or audiobooks it doesn matter too me the 4gb is more than enough for me to put on UNK amount of reading material that couldn even hope to read before came back into contact with UNK the final negative has nothing to do with the kindle but with UNK publishers UNK UNK don price the kindle version over the paperback nor am UNK to pay the hardback price for kindle version in fact rarely buy hardbacks now because prices have gotten stupid unless amazon and UNK are having price war might be UNK to buy hardback now if it included the electronic copy though 1 so far so good received my kindle 3g september really like it except for one thing don like holding it my hands get UNK really don have complaint what nice is don need to get off my lazy UNK to get book and the wife bring me UNK here and there life is good cheers 1 love my kindle but at my house there is no service love my kindle but my house is in no wifi service area UNK live in UNK UNK right now so have to drive miles and then my kindle will upload any books want but while traveled during the summer to UNK and UNK and UNK was able to wifi all the time so really took advantage of my kindle also bought light so could read in the dark great machine love it 0 software update did not work loved this product and downloaded few books mostly classics well went on trip and turned on the device and it was just plain slow could not get into my books could not get and just had one heck of time called UNK and had few of their UNK tell me that there was new software update that was sent automatically we tried few things and am in the same boat when switching between applications or trying to buy new books the device has to continuously search for service the update did not work nor have received any more calls from kindle my next step is to send the device back 1 great product cant beat the price got the wifi only version think the 3g is UNK unless one travels lot 1 resolved our issues works like dream initially we had wi fi and freezing up issues and were little disappointed and frustrated however by taking the kindle to another wi fi hotspot we were able to confirm it was our wireless router not the kindle our laptops were working fine at home so we initially thought it was kindle issues once we reset and UNK our wireless router everything connected perfectly and freezing issues totally resolved love reading on this device like reading but read kinda slow and lose focus after about 45 minutes or so but find that using the kindle can keep reading and reading without those issues think its because can adjust the font size and its comfortable to hold glad decided to buy got one for me and one for my husband now to just find cover that like 1 thinner lighter than kindle better than ipad for reading have had kindle for the last months and love it but the biggest problem have is that it tends to get little heavy if you lie on your back and hold it above you while reading the back is also tad slippery on the kindle don have cover on it by choice this latest kindle which just showed up on my door today takes care of both of those minor complaints it has slightly grippy back like the nook is significantly lighter and is even thinner know that it might not sound like few ounces will make difference but it really does when you are holding something over your head for an hour the screen is better than kindle the white background kind of UNK little or something and the black text stands out on it more the better contrast is noticeable just less UNK all around bought the wifi version because even on vacation am near wifi at least once day don read fast enough to burn through book without planning to have the next one UNK up in advance also have had an ipad since the day that they came out and initially thought that would replace my kindle not the case at all first of all its pretty heavy kind of like comparing the UNK steven king hardback to the paperback edition of the art of UNK in the rain one of my favorite books also when have my ipad get distracted because there are so UNK things to do and browse and check not so with the kindle you can sit down and read book just like you intended to if you are on the fence about upgrading or even getting kindle for the first time would encourage you to order one of these there is 30 day return policy but am sure you won need it 1 love it received the new 3rd generation wireless kindle yesterday on august 27th friday was very pleased as thought it would not ship until then and didn expect to get it until monday have never used an electronic reader before as am big on reading UNK books second hand seldom buy new books either get hand me UNK or buy stuff at used book store what finally won me over to the kindle was all the free classics in the kindle store and many very inexpensive books it will be much easier for me to find an inexpensive or free book that actually want to read than it was at second hand book store on the other hand do wish could share books that are not free with or three friends this would be the reason rate the kindle as stars instead of the new generation wireless model is very slim and light it will be very easy for me to bring tons of content on vacation and still pack very light this is certainly going to saver me few UNK of luggage it was UNK easy to connect to my wireless network and free books that had previously picked out were downloaded automatically from my kindle account it was beautiful day yesterday so headed out to my pool to read on my new kindle have to say that really liked the feel and readability of the kindle better than paper book no more loosing my place when the bookmark falls out or forget to put it in liked that could adjust the font size and loved the page turning feature it is much easier to turn kindle page that it is to turn real page had no problems at all reading it in very bright sunlight in fact would rate it as even better than real book in the sun this was UNK feature for me in that love to read books out by the pool or by the UNK will need to get protective case for going to the beach other things love are the built in dictionary no more UNK what word means and the highlight feature like that you can connect to the internet though did lose connectivity up by the pool few times it is little bit of distance from the router but my netbook doesn have problem surfing the web is little slow and cumbersome but still could check my UNK and the weather without leaving the pool wouldn want to spend considerable amount of time surfing the net on it the screen is small so for example when was checking my UNK either needed magnifying glass to see the whole UNK or if UNK the content had to kind of UNK around on the page to figure out what was what it also little cumbersome to navigate still the device is meant to be an electronic reader not an internet surfing device give the kindle plus points for even having this feature 1 amazing finally decided to buy kindle ve wanted one ever since amazon launched the original but found found the price UNK happily readers took off and the kindle got some viable competition when amazon announced the wi fi only kindle for 139 could not resist ordered it in graphite which is lovely and disappears pretty easily into the background received my kindle this morning and setup was snap it accessed my wireless network quite easily and within couple minutes was happily reading book have not experienced any issues at all thus far though will update my review if any surface don really understand the negative reviews ve seen coming from owners of previous kindle but to each his own guess don generally have problems with changed UNK though either one thing must say is that the kindle is very easy to use didn do more than UNK part of the users guide and was off and navigating and happily reading 1 third gen kindle for first time reader am late to the reader experience so the new kindle 3rd gen is my first while cannot compare it to the earlier versions can say that my worries about the readability of the text and the weight were UNK had to up the font size one level from the default having somewhat old eyes to make it comfortable but now the print is very crisp and more than large enough the weight is similar to paperback book although the distribution of the weight being held from the edge rather than the middle like paper book was awkward at first it is not bad and expect will no longer notice with bit more usage the one down side see is that the figures in books are not easy to UNK in detail this may be problem of all the electronic paper displays or maybe have not found the zoom and pan features yet the feel and build quality of the device itself is great and the usability of it is really good 1 major upgrade to it is major UNK to kindle it is easy to hold and read the screen contrast is just perfect very pleased with the purchase 1 amazon does it again jeff and amazon does it again the newest kindle will be UNK hit the quality and style and over all experience deliver product that UNK all other offerings available for the book format the screen is crisp and clear page turns are almost instant it may not do video like other products but that not why chose kindle it so can read and that is all it needs to do and it does it extremely well amazon puts itself way out in front of the competition with devise one overlooked item is how the have integrated light into the cover that uses the kindle battery to charge it pretty UNK to me for those that loved the kindle kindle blows it out of the water 0 can even plug it in just got it after long wait opened it tried to plug it in but the connector to the kindle UNK tiny tiny thin metal on plug UNK open trying to push it in slot it not plugged it yet probably won be because am going to throw it off the deck like UNK just kidding gonna call customer support waited until kindle got it right but guess jumped the UNK 1 in love received last night love it the screen is scary clear don how many times looked down at it sitting on the table and though how fake it looked almost too pretty the nice surprise was that you can search google didn know you go to other sites live for fan fiction and to see can still get there for free too cool yes it little slow and it black and white but again free people the other surprise was the music really didn look into all the options just wanted something to read from so all these extras are wonderful had UNK ordering the free books last night and buying just few within maybe 10 UNK they appeared ready to read ve only owned it for few hours but already in love now just need to keep the husband away from it then again he did buy it for me thanks amazon 1 great reader ll keep this short and sweet bought nook on 27 on 28 the k3 was announced on 29 pre ordered my kindle was debating between the k2 and the nook and decided to pre order since could always cancel returned the nook in early august after finishing the book purchased on it well returned the nook after reading book and now love the kindle why kindle wins the nook color screen was not well integrated read mostly at night or in bright sunlight boat beach was constantly having to adjust the brightness of the screen if wanted to do that would have bought tablet found that my fingers were confused with the nook touchscreen portion and the ink portion found myself wanting to touch the screen all the time the kindle has text to speech nook does not kindle is noticeably lighter lighted cover is awesome nook wins originally went with the nook for sd card memory and epub support wish the kindle had these which is why rated it stars lending would also be nice on the kindle even if it is limited especially now that books are UNK over 99 lastly preferred the nook silent page turn option the swipe on the lcd area that really the one thing miss the page turns on the kindle are not loud but when reading in bed they are audible my UNK kindle wins just have to say it obvious this is the 3rd generation of the kindle the nook is good 1st generation attempt think that says lot about the nook though when comparing it to the 3rd generation kindle the kindle wins 1 kindle has changed the way read books ve owned kindle for the past year and half and it has been the best personal purchase believe have ever made honestly so upgrading to the newest edition of kindle was no brainer have always been an avid reader but find with kindle read almost twice as much the ease of browsing and purchasing books is incredible you can pick up right where you left off with ease if you re someone who prefers to read more than one book at time then this device is absolutely for you your entire library is always with you and accessible with the simple touch of button some of you may be wondering hmmmm to 3g or not to 3g well that depends on how and where you use it if you re someone who travels lot or UNK lot of time in airports or hotel rooms where wi fi can be iffy you ll absolutely want the 3g if you re always on the move whether for business or pleasure you ll want the 3g it will allow you to always be able to shop for and purchase new books no matter where you are you ll also be able to use kindles free internet feature regardless of where you are still amazed by this every time use it no it not as fast as my laptop or pc but who cares can check my email facebook read the news all from my kindle as family who goes camping lot this has been UNK as no longer have to pay UNK for internet use now if you re UNK or work regular job where you ll always be home in the evenings then you ll most likely just need the wi fi without 3g as long as you have wireless internet at your house the kindle will be able to connect to through that there really no need to have the 3g unless you know you re going to be somewhere that has no wi fi but so many places today do even if you go on vacation you can always add few books to you kindle before you leave just to ensure that you have something to read but imagine many vacation UNK have wi fi either way no matter which you go with your kindle will become an UNK of yourself at least it has for me never go anywhere without it it so small even smaller now you can just pop it into your bag or briefcase and you ll always have reading material ve only used my kindle for reading books though there are so may other publications that you can access various newspapers magazines and blogs the built in dictionary has been god send for me as lot of the books read take place in the UNK 16th century and sometimes just have no UNK what word means just move your cursor over to the word and the definition pops up on the bottom huge help the clippings feature is also nice to have don use it often but if reading and an particular place is mentioned like specific UNK or building and want to check it out later on wiki to read little more on the history of that place can just highlight the UNK and it in my clippings so can look it up later or can look it up right there as kindle has wikipedia fully loaded on it in the end do recommend kindle absolutely 100 without single doubt yes even if you re only casual reader this will still be useful to you if you re voracious reader then you need this it will make the pleasant take me away experience of reading so much more enjoyable 1 believer now ok will UNK to my lifelong UNK as an early adopter of all things electronic somehow avoided the UNK UNK but that an exception as for kindle the high early price for electronic reading freedom was just too much for me to take the plunge kindle was sore UNK but the UNK of ipad were so compelling waited for the reader market to sort itself out bit more then came the nook price drop followed by kindle price UNK and almost bought but something told me there was better version coming soon month ago was browsing the kindle store and there it was kindle smaller lighter better features my UNK UNK and pulled the trigger on wi fi model the hardest part was waiting UNK for month before the new model shipped as promised by amazon received my k3 on friday and was immediately very happy at my UNK buy this is an reader can safely say is better reading experience than paper version it is light and small enough to comfortably hold in one hand right or left it UNK and flip pages with ease no losing your place no having to UNK at small UNK they re adjustable while this is surely not the ultimate iteration of the reader it is no doubt the most capable affordable version to date wireless works very well and have no regret not ordering the 3g model if need something else to read can wait until am in wifi hotspot downsides for one thing it is so small and thin it is easy to lose really the cases amazon offers to fit the k3 are way too expensive and third party options are not yet available but will be soon bet some kindle books are more expensive than print versions at least those in paperback and have not yet figured out the best way to get mobile gmail on this thing in readable form on the bright side battery life seems good the ink screen is great for reading outdoors where do over half my reading and the charger is micro usb like my cell phone still might end up with an ipad but am pretty sure most of my reading will be done on kindle 1 the best kindle the best reader oh kindle you re so UNK so much better UNK and so much UNK not word realize than your predecessors the funny thing about the kindles is that truly don go around every year thinking like the next one but somehow every single time new kindle comes out just have to have it and when the kindle was announced it was history UNK the kindle really is just fabulous for those with kindle UNK you really need to have the kindle next to it to fully appreciate just how much smaller the k3 is how much lighter and compact the k3 is and how much blacker the text is it really is fabulous and with the increase in page turn speed this new kindle is better than ever that said all is not completely UNK for one it takes bit of getting used to the new smaller page turn buttons but we can all be grateful that the previous page button is on the right side at last also when you start reading the battery bar disappears from the top of the screen giving you an extra line of text while this is good thing it would be nice to have the option of bringing that bar back if you want it it also UNK clock can see why amazon did it though battery indicator gives the impression it an electronic device and amazon is trying to give the impression that you re reading book and books don have batteries last but not least the new directional pad on the right side of the kindle while personally have no trouble pushing the directions my wife has UNK UNK mine lot and found that she had trouble pushing the pad except with her UNK nothing perfect right overall love this new kindle sure it just an evolution once again of the ink devices but it great evolution and at much more UNK price thanks amazon stars out of wifi help for those with hidden wpa2 networks just to add for those having trouble with hidden ssid wpa2 networks had trouble and figured out what to do at first would enter manually the ssid and my wpa2 password but it kept saying it couldn find the network here the solution enter in the ssid leave the password blank lt key point here hit advanced in the advanced menu change the option of security to wpa2 and then enter your password hit done it will then connect success enjoy your kindles everyone 1 unbelievable received this as gift it awesome in every way you will not find another ereader that comes close to the kindle it is easy to use lightweight and compact do wish amazon created some non leather covers though 1 personal UNK review this is my first reader of any kind think it UNK that readers are different things to different people these are tools for doing what is very personal very internal activity something that happens primarily in your head how well the device UNK UNK the words to your brain is going depend just as much on your brain as it does on the device that why don think an UNK review one that UNK equally well to any potential buyer is even possible although all information is useful what you read where you get your reading material how you plan to change or not change that in the future everyone is unique so this is personal review based only on how well the kindle meets my own needs what really like about my new k3 the display it beautiful it magical love everything about it it hard to imagine text display that can be read with more UNK and less strain it makes me want to read everything on my kindle if only could the world UNK dictionaries oxford and oxford american at your fingertips both in UNK stand alone form and integrated into whatever text you re reading put the cursor in front of word and the dictionary entry is automatically displayed wonderful the lightness portability and long battery life these alone define why the ipad isn competitive as an ebook reader you can carry it without noticing the weight and you don have to recharge it every day it like carrying around magic sheet of paper the vast support community both official and UNK where every question is answered where tips and tricks UNK and useful tools for organizing converting UNK your kindle content are developed and made available for free what don like or find useful about my new k3 obviously can use it when want to re read one of the many hundreds of books have collected over the past 50 years although if own paper copy don really feel UNK if happen upon an electronic copy on the internet that can make work on the kindle can use it to read 99 of the library books borrow which aren available from the free library of UNK in electronic format but just because own kindle now doesn mean can still read paper book UNK can read the the other that are because they re not in kindle compatible format find the lack of UNK in justified text to be UNK annoying also the poor handling of footnotes for example the kindle version of mary UNK wonderful packing for UNK is noticeably inferior to the paper version because she expected the footnotes to be at the bottom of each page when she wrote the book and that imo UNK the way she wrote them as someone with arthritis gripping something in one position for very long makes my UNK lock up painfully but there is limited number of possible UNK on the k3 that don UNK accidental button presses page turns or back in particular the same condition UNK me to double the weight of the kindle by adding cover it was the very light weight that made me want it in the first place UNK still out on this one couple of comments about the kindle store don care about web browsing or other internet functionality but wish it could handle periodicals better think that magazines and newspapers are UNK primary function for an reader and there needs to be more UNK here charging money for delivery of blogs is UNK this should work the same way delivery of UNK works with itunes so bottom line for me love it but it an UNK to my established reading habits not replacement when can use the kindle it more pleasant and UNK experience than typical paper edition but paper books will continue to be of central UNK in my life 1 still the best test drove one each kindle dx kindle 3rd gen nook ipad UNK great battery life reading daily lasted weeks without charge newly created word games UNK battery but that not the true intent of the device great screen simple to use the clips on the cover fatigue the kindle UNK at the UNK poor design buy cover that UNK the corners down instead of using the clips kindle 3rd generation small screen still easy to read pdf still supported word games not supported yet even more simple and intuitive to use great little port book very fast download speed using wireless much faster than the dx using 3g tested with UNK page UNK text ipad very broad functionality poor portability of documents but all types supported 10 hour battery life awesome device but as book reader not so great nook slow to turn pages not intuitive touch pad useless waste of face space clunky gave up after an hour and took UNK battery life unknown another note out of of my university textbooks are supported on the kindle 1 kindle 3g wifi winner just received my kindle with 3g and wifi few hours ago so this is first impression first of all the screen contrast is noticeably improved compared to my kindle us page turns are supposed to be faster than the kindle can really tell the difference but didn have problem with page turns on the k2 anyway for me paying the extra 50 for lifetime free 3g wireless was no brainer since often in places without free wifi on the other hand once connected to my home wifi wpa UNK network was able to transfer over all my books to the new kindle pretty fast so the wifi is nice feature it also made checking my gmail reasonable my house was in UNK area when first got the k2 and doing anything except shopping the kindle store was pretty painful then the local service got upgraded to 3g and that improved the k2 web browser quite bit but the new browser with wifi on the k3 blows it away as UNK use text based weather UNK service on the web and the k3 handles it nicely also the new browser makes the amazon store available on the k3 not just the kindle store ve had quick look at the new york times on the k3 my first impression is that it is possible to read the web edition on the k3 also had look at several books that ve published or have UNK copies of on the kindle as well as some of the books that my regular publishers UNK to the kindle after the print editions were published the color photos and maps in my published book are noticeably sharper and have better contrast on the k3 gray scale screen than the k2 also the images display larger without zooming on the k3 so far like the new key UNK especially the duplicate page turning keys on both sides ve had no trouble getting used to the new location of the menu back and home keys and it nice to have them away from the page turning keys so they don get pressed accidentally do miss the number row though it appears there enough space for it below the screen but there are probably UNK under the bezel that prevent putting the number row there that said rather have the smaller kindle than the number row the new way controller takes some getting used to find use UNK to hit the direction arrows the new central button certainly works better than the old square mini joystick don have any problem accidentally pressing an arrow key when mean to press the central button to select something also bought the lighted cover which works well to protect the k3 especially like the elastic cord that keeps the cover closed haven read for long time with the light as yet but it seems to provide plenty of light amazon has winner in the k3 easily stars 1 significantly better than kindle after having had the new kindle for days am very impressed by the changes from the k2 much much lighter great screen and very good amazon cover the only problem is the small keys which go along with the small buttons on the UNK they will take some getting used to very easy to transfer from my k2 to the k3 and the graphite body is really allows the screen to pop out amazon you really got this one right 1 hello UNK pie my kindle wifi only just arrived it UNK lovely crisp contrast and very easy to connect to my wireless network the next and previous page buttons on the sides are much smaller but easy to use really like the new keyboard use the sym key to bring up the numbers menu then use the controller to select the new controller is also easy and think like it better than the five way toggle great addition to the kindle line of products and great addition to my personal kindle collection it will be wonderful purse kindle and allow me to leave my dx graphite at home the best of both worlds 0 can believe UNK product you don have ve had this ordered since aug and still no shipping date my credit card was charged the day ordered they are sitting on millions of dollars from people who hope someday they will get the product 1 major improvements and the price is right first bought the kindle and really wasn pleased with it so returned it and decided to wait for the kindle my issue with the kindle was the UNK fonts that kept reading about in some forums reviewing the kindle the screen just wasn as sharp as it could be this new kindle addresses that and more amazon claims 50 better contrast and those claims are true because definitely amazed at how much better the screen looks the difference is truly like night and day think the screen bit small on the kindle doesn have the length of paperback book but didn want to upgrade to the heavier kindle dx my solution rotated the orientation to horizontal and set the amount of words per line so now the page truly mimics the length of many paperback novels half of it anyway also really like the other updates that amazon has made to the kindle the kindle was bit large and white like some UNK UNK UNK it stuck out like sore thumb when saw someone reading it on the train the black color option and slightly smaller size of the kindle definitely allows you to be little bit more UNK although you may still get the attention of some curious people on the train or plane guess the black color also allows you to focus more on the text and less on the device so the device truly disappears when you get lost in whatever you re reading this device is thin but sturdy with sort of rubbery texture for back which allows better gripping although it UNK for UNK UNK UNK highly recommend spending the extra 50 on the 3g kindle it really gives you the flexibility of UNK between 3g wifi instead of just wifi what if you don have access to wifi for instance my wifi wasn working and the kindle was smart enough to switch to 3g and allowed me to continue browsing through the store the leather case that comes separate is perfect UNK to the kindle don hesitate to buy this can already feel my attention UNK UNK as get through the first chapter of the passage love this device don ever stop making it amazon 1 totally awesome very pleased with the kindle the contrast is much improved over kindle such pleasure to read noticeable improvement in software speed pages do turn more quickly the black case and the improved contrast make reading on the kindle very pleasurable opted for the wi fi only model and have not any problems connecting to my home network new downloads are speedy with the improved contrast and easier readability and the lighter sleeker design think it is now fair to say that the reader has officially arrived had always been hesitant to recommend kindle due to the poor contrast and difficulty reading in lower light settings but the kindle improved contrast has settled those issues can now recommend the kindle without reservation 1 great addition to the kindle line we just received our kindle today yes one day before the release date just bought the kindle about two months ago and is was no brainer to pick up this one for my wife for the great price of 139 at first thought be taking this one for myself but going to stick with my kindle the kindle is smaller lighter and has better contrast but still like my kindle actually like the kindle layout of the buttons better prefer the larger next page buttons but do like the kindle UNK page button on both sides overall no regrets on just purchasing the kindle and the kindle just makes great addition to the kindle family as well as my own 1 awesome had tried out an earlier version of the kindle but sent it back due to poor contrast UNK after claim of 50 improvement in contrast here my take contrast much improved very crisp and readable even pictures wifi can check email browse no UNK margins are smaller allowing for less dead space on small screen easy navigation rubber back feels like leather or UNK extremely soft and comfortable to hold dark gray UNK sleek design great looking good support for some reason one book didn download should this happen call the 800 number or reset by turning off then restarting putting it to sleep doesn reset like computer shut it down then restart fully charged in less than an hour 139 somebody pinch me 1 lovely kindle to read took me while to get used to not turning pages as read lovely is all can say glad got mine 1 amazon kindle latest generation wifi great the latest generation kindle is an excellent reading device the smaller size more readable screen improved keyboard and controls reduced price with wifi is leap from its predecessors the wifi is wonderful set up was quick and easy had it up and running quickly and ordered new book and returned the the home screen figured would have to wait for while before it downloaded like had to with my kindle but when returned to my home screen my new book was waiting reading on the new kindle is much more pleasant the page turning controls are improved no more accidentally hitting the home button and losing my place with this device amazon has set new standard for reading devices 1 love it faster brighter so much lighter what not to love 0 too bad it didn work ordered the kindle with wifi as soon as it was announced and it finally shipped on august 26 2010 and received it august 27 2010 packaging is clean easy to open and startup is simple also love the touch feel of the new kindle was ready to love it however although setup the wifi connection correctly and the network software on my wireless network showed that it was connected anytime tried to shop the kindle store or register the kindle it couldn connect surprisingly in the experimental applications the internet browser worked fine and accessed all sorts of different websites and got the latest content so after 90 minutes on the line with tech support they told me that the software group would start to work on the problem on monday no UNK with me returned the unit early saturday morning don want to be UNK with buggy first release version too bad what makes this especially UNK is that also ordered the original kindle and was probably one of the first to receive it it worked fine for about 12 hours at which point it completely locked up yep returned it too and decided to wait for more mature version guess the kindle is not yet the flawless version was waiting for 0 faulty unit UNK performance will UNK my review by saying that bought my wife one of the original kindles and she absolutely loves it played with it enough to know that when the price came down we might become two kindle family then when the price did ordered early for release day delivery was fully prepared to write positive review or no review at all because am easily distracted but post this UNK to see if anyone else has the problems am having first of all it UNK to connect to any wireless network this is disconcerting when look at my wife kindle right next to me on the couch UNK bar connection no matter where take the kindle UNK and UNK UNK UNK it cannot find 3g connections edge connections nothing oh how it tries but the best connection have ever gotten is bar that quickly disappeared once set up my home wi fi was able to surf and purchase but paid 50 for that 3g connection so it UNK me that it doesn work and worked my way through all the troubleshooting steps for anyone concerned that am UNK without UNK it simply won work second my battery life is just plain not what advertised fully charged the device unplugged it downloaded books read none of them am old and go to bed early turned off all wireless and picked up the kindle again two days later less than half of the battery life UNK scroll up to the product description to see that this is not even close to what promised for UNK don think amazon or other reviewers are lying think just got stuck with UNK unit and am very disappointed to add UNK to UNK also ordered an amazon kindle leather case the 35 one and they sent me the wrong color know now it just sounds like am UNK consumer but have to tell you that exactly how feel have always had positive experiences with amazon and its products but this has been one of the most UNK shopping experiences have ever had 1 love the product but hate the delayed shipment pros love this product just can complain the cons really don appreciate amazon UNK my shipment while its not their fault that they ran out of stock but at the least they should make it aware of the fact that this product is out of stock at the time of my purchase nowhere in the site it was mentioned that it is out of stock till heard it from the customer care guy it was supposed to be surprise gift for my friend its too late now and UNK still waiting for the email which says that my product is shipped UNK 1 originally not happy with kindle support now issues are resolved spent one hour yesterday and one today with four different kindle support members and still my issue cannot be resolved cannot register my kindle since it appears that the serial number that is in the settings and on the shipment box is not the serial number for the device however they said it is registered but it does not reflect that in the settings also cannot get 3g service which is readily available in my area however my wife kindle is able to connect kindle staff says that cannot receive the 3g because the device is not registered yet they said it is registered all get is am sorry and someone will get back to you just received UNK from UNK who says we ll have to look into your problem with your kindle not being able to register little more UNK hoping the technical UNK will get back to me within week or sooner so we can solve this can you believe she said week or sooner know that amazon will resolve the issue however my patience is wearing thin and my kindle experience is off to really bad start an update to my earlier review of several hours ago about one half hour ago finished conversation with UNK who clearly explained what happened and now my kindle 3g is registered has 3g and wi fi and appears to be functioning will not get an opportunity to play with it until later today but that is okay at least it is ready to go the amazon representative explained that there was UNK up and that the kindle sent to me was not the original one was to have received it appears that kindle support is available unfortunately you need to get to the right person who can make it happen knew that eventually amazon would resolve my issue and am pleased they did so in timely manner am now looking forward to using my kindle which looks great thank you and now there are four stars 1 great with the lighted case got the new kindle with the lighted cover had kindle before it is indeed higher contrast better screen better design the case is the selling point for me here to upgrade love the light it does give it enough corner to corner light to read UNK which was concern had going in the page refreshes bit quicker it just less noticeable the only thing say is any drawback from kindle is that the page turn buttons are harder for me to do holding the unit with just one hand that said very satisfied with the upgrade 1 update on earlier review ive waited years to get kindle and it wont connect to whispernet any answers please my kindle is finally connected had to buy router to get signal had to call customer service for help and they were very helpful stars for amazon 1 beautiful new sleek and slim design received my kindle with wifi only on august 27th 2010 earlier than expected as chose free shipping knew it was great choice when first opened the box the design is sleek and slim and small enough to fit in purse or the side pocket of my netbook case it is beautiful device first charged it for just over three hours as left to do other things then set up the wifi and found the process seamless and problem free have link router and use wep security checked out the browser and the kindle store and downloaded several samples and added books from my archive without any issues did some reading UNK of collections over the weekend and in general spent some time getting to know the new k3 intend to test it thoroughly over the course of this week and will edit this review accordingly but have had no issues or problems of any type with this new kindle and love the new size 1 impressed with my first kindle the new price point was the draw for me that and the ability to read pdf files on portable device ordered my first kindle back in july and it arrived the morning after the advertised release date very nicely packed pre charged and ready to go had purchased few dozen books many free in advance and as soon as powered up and connected to wi fi they were ready to go since ve not used any previous readers can comment on this form factor compared to others can say that with the amazon leather cover it is pleasant to hold easy to operate and within the first dozen or so pages had forgotten was reading an book operation is simple did not even open the instructions my 4th UNK was also able to operate it without assistance reading pdfs on the kindle works fine download great deal of content from academic journals which in the past ve read on my laptop or printed on paper with the smaller kindle had to display them in landscape orientation and only get about page on screen but it good enough to get full page width displayed from typical journal and even the footnote are legible moving files to the kindle via usb is as simple as using flash drive my only wish would be for larger screen perhaps much larger tablet sized display would be ideal for reading journal articles ve also read several UNK of novels and even some classics to the kids the flexible font sizes and formatting options worked well for everyone in our family ll need to look into organizing titles better but even without reading the instructions ve had no problems using any of the functions ve been able to locate including audio UNK notes dictionary etc on the balance am quite impressed with the new kindle as prices continue to drop ll look for larger format for professional reading material but this is about ideal for reading novels taking on plane or anything that doesn really demand large display kudos to amazon for design support and as always superior prime shipping 1 amazon please UNK your software update ever since amazon let me test drive the new update things have been fine no crashes hangs or reboots getting in the way of my reading experience still needs UNK page numbers with the kindle books to make it useful in the classroom needs way to index and search pdfs and like everyone says should be able to read epub texts otherwise fine thing to have in my bag this is my first kindle and ve been giving it heavy use since friday few bought books many public domain books from archive and gutenberg but mostly lot of my own pdf files ve been bothered by numerous re UNK that occur for no obvious reason and the browser got stuck refused to operate whatsoever on its own or within the reader until UNK the unit to factory settings and lost all my pdfs and UNK books so the kindle has great potential but the release is very buggy amazon has us doing beta testing for them so please hurry up and update the software would love device that has stable platform that doesn make me worry about crashes and reboots all the time it kind of UNK the whole reading experience when UNK technology is constantly calling attention to itself stars for the hardware two for the software three to UNK amazon into action update still lots of random reboots twice total freezes that required hard reboot with the power button UNK the browser at first figured it software problem but since most people seem to be having flawless experiences now suspect got UNK amazon hope you ve got some clean and tested models because want replacement 1 just like hoped it would be this is my third kindle k1 k2 now k3 first impressions after couple books the most important new feature is the UNK no the sharpness mean the contrast and sharpness it is fantastic thought the k2 had paper look but the k3 makes it look dull side by side text looks much sharper on the k3 than the k2 and it looks brighter know it not but text seems to stand out against crisp white background that looks like paper or better than paper in some cases as in the description it smaller thinner and lighter the k2 still looks good beside the k3 so the improvement in form factor is just UNK the smaller form factor of the k3 makes it screen looks bigger than the k2 isn that funny love the slate color or whatever they call it need to get used to the smaller next previous buttons and the way controller it may be UNK over time but at the moment they seem little small think they should have made the way controller larger it is super easy to transfer your library from your old kindle to the new one books subscriptions and kindle email address tried UNK both ways on the k3 and online at amazon thought it was easier and quicker on the k3 transferred 40 or so books in very short time didn time it but it seemed like 10 or 15 minutes just kept selecting and hitting the back button titles that selected for transfer were UNK so wouldn accidently select them again overall think it is fantastic upgrade number one improvement is the screen well that all for now enjoy your reading 1 totally in love totally in love with my new kindle the size is perfect easy of use is great the screen just reads like real paper page flipping is really fast and wifi is breeze there are some small improvements would like to see view to show all books by cover all UNK are in english would love to see multi language support dutch product well worth the money 1 my favorite device after having the kindle for long time now can say really love it find it UNK to using book no holding pages open can just prop it up against something no book clutter in the house instant access to just about any book want the display kindle is large enough even when am in my fast reading mode although use small character size haven used the larger model and don think it would be as comfortable to use but you may want it if you need larger characters or if you want useful pictures the inch screen just doesn cut it for photos drawings or maps but very few of the books read have much of that so think the UNK is worth it think the wi fi is not very useful it is minor convenience at home now that have wireless inside the home but can use usb instead don know if am UNK but outside the home find wi fi very unreliable or slow so always download books at home if you want to download books outside the home would go for the 3g version but since you can load so many books onto it don why you would need to do that very often and browsing books on pc is much better than doing it on the kindle 1 the best reading device ve used compared to k2 ipad as the owner of kindle an ipad can safely say after several days of reading on my new kindle that it is the best device for reading that have ever had the improvements over the 2nd generation kindle are significant and put the current kindle head and shoulders over any other reader the new kindle advantages vs kindle ipad size weight and design the new kindle size is great so light easy to carry around the way the buttons have been re organized it easier to hold the kindle on the side without accidentally clicking the next or previous buttons on the kindle often clicked next page with my thumb when UNK positions eliminating the number keys was also good choice the bezel leaves just enough room on all sides so that it is comfortable to hold the kindle anywhere without pressing buttons ipad has nice bezel to grab onto as well but is way to heavy for extended reading screen contrast as promised the new screen is excellent the background is bit lighter than the kindle background for sure but the blacks are much darker am noticing details in the screensaver images that could never see on the kindle can also read in lower light conditions than ever could with the kindle also notice ghosting lot less on the k3 in bright sunlight the new kindle looks absolutely brilliant the more light you give the screen the better it looks really page turn speed page turns are now ridiculously fast noticeably faster than on the kindle which never bothered me before it definitely turns faster than could ever turn an actual book page much improved web browser the browser still isn something you would want to use if you had an alternative around iphone laptop etc but the new browser on the k3 actually loads pages properly even complex ones it is fast enough even on 3g to be usable and all around isn that bad the main limitation of course is simply the slow refresh of the ink screen improved reading experience the kindle excels at getting out of the way and letting you read the latest kindle UNK the status bar at the top allowing more text to fit on the screen at the expense of not showing the book title on every page some may not like this thought wouldn but have actually come to prefer it this way already the status bar still pops up when the menu button is pressed and like seeing more text on the screen at once should you get kindle if you read lot of books the kind you read straight through not textbooks etc then think you ll love the kindle especially this newest one if you are looking for an ink device you can beat the latest kindle the only area where kindle doesn UNK in my opinion is in reading books that are not read straight through like textbooks or reference works those types of books are easier read in print form or on the ipad but for reading novels history UNK anything else where you just sit down and read there nothing better than the kindle and this latest version adds several UNK and enough significant improvements to make it totally worth the purchase 0 attention much extra taxes to be paid in UNK just got call from the customs department in UNK ordered the latest generation kindle for its good value for money price 139 dollar the customs department charged me for an extra 130 UNK taxes UNK estimated taxes were 00 dollar according to amazon so beware if you order this product and expect to pay more than double if had known this before would probably not bought it very frustrating 1 huge step forward from the previous generation kindles the proud owner of all three of the previous kindle designs k1 k2 and the dx and the new wifi version is huge step forward never did like 3g my wifi reception is so much faster and more reliable and now feel can use it however want without UNK up the UNK now includes UNK font support for most of the world languages including UNK european and chinese japanese korean surprisingly still no font support for UNK nor arabic and the contrast and darkness of the new display wow like reading good UNK or UNK UNK and the web browser is so much more usable and functional than the previous versions thanks guys this time you really got it right now make me dx version please 1 k3 even better than its predecessor it no longer necessary to write about how UNK the kindle is or for that matter readers generally books and text and reading are with us to stay only paper is becoming unnecessary what we can discuss is how well device performs its intended task and how it compares to its competition on an absolute basis and for the price my wife and share last gen kindle and just received new display k3 know amazon doesn call it that but how else can users refer to it in twenty words or less it is an improvement over an already excellent product smaller but not too small to be held comfortably same size display but sharper and crisper better contrast easy to use somewhat smaller keyboard that takes little but very little getting used to it took me few hours to stop accidentally pressing some UNK keys but now using the keyboard is second nature and the page turning buttons are silent but have sufficient tactile feedback excellent feel found it very easy to duplicate our library from our older kindle to our new k3 and to activate our home wifi don like to say transferred our books because that could be understood to mean they were taken from our old kindle to our new one say duplicate because they UNK on both kindles the instruction manual is detailed and somewhat UNK but very understandable it 200 pages but don let that UNK you it easy to find the parts you need and you will never need more than few pages at one time the manual is published on the device as in the past and can also be downloaded to your computer as pdf file so you can read the instructions from your computer as you apply them to the k3 if you have wifi at home which we do when you are in range of wifi that you have activated in your k3 it automatically uses that wifi instead of connecting to the 3g at network assuming of course you have 3g wifi k3 it works faster on my home wifi than on the 3g network so much so that if had really thought it through before bought it or if were to buy another would probably go wifi only and save 50 the only reasons to get the 3g wifi model would seem to be if you don have reliable access to wifi or if you travel good deal to places that don have lot of wifi access but do have at connectivity and you have need to download books or periodicals on regular basis or without delay while you are away from home or office if you can plan ahead and stock up on few good books and you have reliable access to wifi such as at home office mcdonalds or starbucks suggest you think twice about whether you want the 3g wifi k3 or the wifi only each k3 has its own email address and you can send documents to it including word and pdf docs and photos of course the photos are but very detailed and clear the k3 UNK surfing the web although haven used it much for that purpose and other than saying it works hesitate to pass UNK on how well think someone who uses it for web browsing would like it can compare it to other dedicated readers because haven used them people seem to be interested in how think it compares to the ipad which don own but have played with somewhat extensively at the apple store my assessment is that there is no comparison the ipad will do much more but as an reader think the k3 is superior don need color for reading text the k3 is fraction of the cost and its smaller size makes it much more convenient to tote around however what UNK the ipad as an reader as far as am concerned is its weight suspect most of us are the same in this regard but tend to read for an hour or two at stretch UNK and half doesn sound too heavy but held an ipad for five minutes literally and my hands UNK it is simply too heavy to use as book reading device while the k3 is light as feather for reading cheaper and significantly lighter k3 as dedicated reader is UNK the way to go compared to an ipad btw recent in aug 2010 report from UNK said apple in making ipod which depending on size and weight could change the UNK it will be interesting to see how the reader market UNK said can compare the k3 to other competitors and won but can say am completely satisfied with amazon as an book seller ve only had few UNK to need support on my old kindle but that has also been entirely satisfactory bottom line my wife and both like the k3 very much and recommend it to anyone considering buying an reader don think you will regret buying one with or without the free 3g 1 love love love it just got my kindle today and love it it is so much smaller and lighter than the previous generation the screen is outstanding very easy to read no glare whatsoever in the light the wifi was super easy to setup took 30 seconds had all my books downloaded from my old account in about minutes the new graphite color is also really nice and like that the back is rubberized because dropped my old kindle and it cracked bit but this one think would just UNK like that the on off button is on the bottom and it uses green light so know that have turned it on very nice UNK 1 k3 is perfect when first UNK the new k3 was slightly disappointed the new way appeared to be harder to used than the little joystick of the k2 have to say though two days later liking it much better since getting used to it so quickly think in another day won know the difference the size is absolutely perfect in the amazon cover it is exactly like reading from paperback book it noticeably lighter and easier to hold for reading even with arthritis in my hands the page turn buttons are wonderful almost no noise and you don have to push them as hard it should make it much easier for those with weak or disabled hands also like have next page and previous buttons on both sides didn think it would make difference to me but it really does tried couple of times to connect the wifi but didn get it to work today had more time so thought try to UNK through it but when UNK to the wireless menu it had somehow figured out how to connect on its own the browser is much faster and it made buying book breeze haven had it long enough to comment on the extended battery life but was honestly fine with the more than 10 days always got with k2 and the fonts my word what difference can practically read in the dark ve been able to reduce the font size from to UNK sharper contrast with better fonts and it an unbeatable combo the only thing would change if could is to move the menu button and especially the back button having little trouble navigating with the down arrow because hit back but starting to get the hang of it all in all think amazon hit it out of the park with the k3 1 outstanding we just got our new kindle 2010 and are thrilled with it it started up after brief UNK charge and immediately down loaded our first purchased book find the website easy to navigate and the device equally user friendly we just needed to sit UNK for bit and read the downloaded manual at least the sections of interest when ordering made the mistake of pushing buy twice so had to call in to say we only wanted but that was fixed quickly by friendly rep did have one freeze while accessing footnote in book this morning but re booting worked easily like the collections feature for sorting my wife books from mine etc like the way the kindle site UNK topics of interest the subject UNK and the button order feature skipping forward through chapters does not appear to work for older books all in all the combination of the website and the kindle is very well thought out well done folks 1 love amazon and the kindle have very high expectations of not only products that buy but the service that backs these products this kindle is by far the best buy of 2010 not only that but the customer service behind these kindle products is nothing short of exceptional had an issue with my kindle and they UNK shipped out replacement next day that was already ready to go and provided return shipping as well was able to reach human being and they made sure that all my issues were solved in professional friendly manner that shocked me urge you to get kindle you will love it and have the amazon team making sure you won be dissapointed just got the new kindle and the UNK are wonderful will be kindle customer for life and will buy one for all the important people in my life as gift it the gift that keeps on giving 1 nice evolution from original kindle great job amazon though never planned to really upgrade waited patiently for folders then amazon came up with collections unfortunately because of hardware requirements the 1st gen kindle was left out didn feel that he 2nd generation was enough of an upgrade so waited when saw 28 the new kindle specs come out along with great price jumped on it the first thing noticed after opening the package was this thing is tiny actually fits in the pocket of my UNK UNK turning it on was amazed at the beautiful contrast on the screen the words are so clear you don need nearly as much light to read big improvement very nice love the new system interface especially dealing with the archive that was pretty ugly in the original button placement is nice like that the back button is now part of the keyboard area UNK from accidentally hitting it my daughter always got frustrated and confused trying to get back to her page now it just simple next and previous page buttons the redesigned web interface is also very nice can see using this more than the previous kindles actually looks like the web pages and you can select to not load up all the pictures if you just want to read articles without all the ads this works nice text to speech also seems to be improved not as many UNK and it sounded smoother the speakers provide decent audio also all in all see no negatives at all the battery and memory are going to be welcome change go buy it you will be so glad you did 1 this is more like it great revision to to the kindle platform pros much better build quality sent back dx kindles which had rattling buttons this latest revision feels tight and well made and the soft rubber back piece is comfortable to hold display is crisper not UNK so but it is noticeable very small UNK can slip this into the pocket of my UNK pants and hardly notice it there makes for very portable ereader the wonderful amazon account management system and choice of content this is the reason why prefer to use the kindle app on my ipad and iphone instead of ibooks it also joy to read the new york times in its UNK from start to finish instead of in an app which requires me to scroll every few lines go back to the menu to get to the next article etc believe the battery life is incredible but won know if this it true for another weeks wi fi is very fast just as well since live in cell signal UNK cons extras like web browsing are slow and cumbersome way toggle is little bit near other buttons page turn screen refresh is quicker but it still little bit annoying it does what it supposed to do very well like everything to be little quicker opening titles page turns browsing the store but it is lot closer to what an ereading experience should be for anyone who likes to read it getting close to no brainer purchase at the current price 0 fourth defective kindle kindle wise for the way controller on the first one stopped working after hour and amazon replaced the device the second one UNK rebooted itself frequently causing me to lose my furthest page read the problem continued after updated to so amazon replaced it again kindle repeatedly froze and rebooted itself after repeated calls to cs was told to remove the UNK kindle cover because there had been defective batch indeed the freezes reboots stopped but two days later although had been very careful with the now cover less unit crack appeared in the case running from the lower right side of the screen to the right hand edge so was replaced with within hours screen started UNK after screen refreshes for example going to the next page or pressing menu the light non UNK portion of the display would start UNK UNK to medium gray color and the display would not refresh again until the unit was rebooted my phone call to cs UNK in an offer to replace with new unit when asked about backing out all together and getting refund was told that amazon would offer me an 80 refund on my purchase price and no refund for the content had purchased apparently since been kindle UNK for over 30 days full refund was out of the picture note ve actually had far less than 30 days of reading enjoyment from my kindles another interesting UNK when returned the cover that cs had told me to remove from the kindle was not initially given full refund amazon charged me return fee it took two phone calls to cs to get that resolved amazon in my opinion you have some serious issues you need to fix your quality control is UNK and your return UNK are UNK 1 great upgrade ve had my new generation kindle for day now and delighted with it ve had two from the prior generations and most folks are at least somewhat familiar with them by now so ll review by comparison with the prior version here are my favorites the whiter page improved contrast is great it makes it much easier to read especially in lower light the slate colored case is good improvement as it increases the apparent contrast the back cover is slightly rubbery and does not slip instead of the old slick metal sheet that always slipped in my hand the new navigator buttons are easier to use much better use of the available space on the page you can control the line spacing and select condensed font the title only shows at the top when you click menu and the indicator at the bottom is UNK down the overall effect was side by side with the kindle was able to get 25 more on the page even using larger font finally the ability to structure the contents into folders collections the faster page turns are much less UNK the small reduction in size and weight and the design changes in the controls make it bit easier to handle there not much to complain about though it not quite perfect yet still no control of the margins see wasted space at the edges where rather have words the web browser is really UNK with drop down list as in google suggested searches some books the UNK format with fonts provided by the publisher do not allow setting of line spacing ve been reading one of those and it is practically double spaced most books however have found are not of this type at least five stars amazon has done great job of improving this device especially folks who had issues with the low contrast on the earlier versions this is what you were waiting for 1 love it but have already had few random restarts awesome gadget had the kindle for couple months and returned it to target when heard about the k3 only problem is that it has already restarted on me couple times when was navigating around in the menus trying to do couple different things am going to call support soon and see what they say will update if find out anything 1 amazing upgraded from first generation kindle and the difference is UNK love the new design smaller lightweight efficient the display is crisp and the refresh rate on the screen is extremely fast brought it in to work today and within UNK minutes my UNK was on amazon ordering one for himself 1 kindle vs kindle after spending quite bit of time with the second kindle ve noticed few UNK that like but few that miss this is just quick review but if anything comes up ll add it later to keep it brief better contrast rubber back grip longer battery life pdf software improvements probably will cross over to the kindle smaller hardware same size screen optional wifi don mind 3g speed poor button placement have large fingers so occasionally ll want to tap down on the way direction pad but instead ll hit the back button very disappointed with this one lacks UNK row on keyboard don mind going to the symbols menu for now there is key command to enter numbers from the top row of characters power switch is on the bottom of the device this is probably user preference from getting used to switch on the top in my opinion the improvements of this device outweigh the drawbacks here to amazon com continued UNK 1 good improvements software tends to freeze up just received my new kindle yesterday and am enjoying it the ink technology is crisper however do see some ghosting on my home page that doesn happen when reading though UNK and reading pdfs is great improvement over the k2 was able to zoom in better rotate the page so could read more of it without zooming and highlight passages that wanted to remember very happy with the size and weight of my kindle because it fits in my smaller UNK with plenty of room to spare if you owned the k2 or earlier you ll have to get used to not having joystick controller the menu back and home buttons are located in the keyboard area while the sides are UNK for page navigation while the new layout will take some getting used to feel that it an improvement over the k2 last night experienced my first freeze ever with the kindle if this happens to you hold down the power button for 15 seconds and release that should fix the problem the ghosting and the freezing are why give the latest generation kindle stars instead of UNK that amazon will fix these glitches with software upgrade soon despite these issues would recommend this kindle to anyone who is interested in owning an ereader or looking for solid upgrade to their k2 happy reading 1 worth upgrading from kindle to kindle originally purchased kindle from amazon the end of july only to find day or so after it arrived that the kindle was available for pre order wondered initially if upgrading to the kindle 3g would be worth it and it is love the convenience of the wireless connection but wanted the freedom of having the 3g book delivery anywhere as live in rural area and travel lot now have the best of both the size didn seem like big deal initially but now can fit the kindle into small purse with the cover included something couldn do with kindle even UNK the new UNK profile felt so good in my hand as read whether sitting or laying down on the side or on my back it didn matter found between the new ink screen and the graphite color that my eyes didn UNK off the screen something noticed with my kindle had difficulty initially deciding between the white and graphite color and find the graphite doesn detract from the ink at all in fact it seems to frame the writing on the screen another plus is the back of the kindle is completely non slip material almost rubbery material with no metal on the back like the kindle that could UNK or slip the front and back don show dirt wear just bit of UNK on the back that UNK off with soft UNK very nice materials with noticeably improved quality the ink is better than ever and feels like vacation for my eyes after staring at an laptop lcd screen all day looking forward to fun weekend reading books downloaded in anticipation of the kindle arriving the surprise of the kindle for me was how much more reading am doing and because so many books are inexpensive am reading books in genres don normally read if you are on the fence of upgrading to kindle esp now with the wireless kindle at 139 recommend taking the plunge 1 love it to pieces love it more than my kindle ve had the kindle and the kindle decided to get this one because ve heard it pretty wonderful it is got the graphite one which is really nice it smaller and lighter than the older kindles but the screen is the same size they were smart and put the page turn buttons on the sides of the kindle itself not on the front it feels very natural to turn the page that way and it saves all that surface space speaking of which the page turn is super speedy love that there also noticeable difference in the print contrast and in the fonts which all seem much sharper and clearer really good will love reading on this thing you can also now jump from chapter to chapter using the way toggle and you can turn on this voice UNK to tell you where are in the book why this is needed don know you can also use open twitter and facebook account and it has better internet access just want to read book on it so this doesn matter so much to me the books also download faster in case you can wait whole minute and it can hold lot more books which is kind of silly because as with the other kindles you can access and transfer your books back and forth between your account and the kindle any time you want if you have the 3g wireless but if you want thousands of books on your kindle home page you got it you can view it in landscape mode but think the kindle upgrade did that too the look up function seems better too all in all it super cool and it too bad they didn think of this design in the first place it makes so much sense so glad got this and highly recommended even you are happy with your kindle you ll love this one even more 0 update re booting it the cover 12 11 10 on my 3rd kindle since aug re booting constantly freezing hard re start to get it to work never returned to last page read read in the reviews about another possibility it not the kindle it the kindle cover took off the amazon kindle cover no light last monday and since then the kindle has not as yet had single problem have not hard re started returned to factory settings or had to wait while it re boot in days it will turn on and open at last page read concept will continue to monitor for while and then will call amazon to exchange the cover if you are having problems try it without its cover for few days and see if any improvement 1 first impressions the kindle arrived four hours ago and has made few strong first impressions this is not UNK review since my experience is so short and my impressions are based on having kindle for over year that carry with me everywhere and that has been wonderful addition to my life and work so here are the initial impressions the size and weight feel just right it is smaller and lighter and very easy to hold the screen is definitely better darker text and lighter background UNK more contrast and better reading experience the next page and previous page buttons at the edges are very thin bars less than UNK of an inch wide but they feel perfectly placed for my thumbs and seem to take less pressure to use for me marked improvement the five way UNK is different the directions are UNK by an UNK band with large button in the center think this will be easier but so far the UNK band feels kind of narrow leading to accidentally pressing the UNK button the home and back buttons have moved and are smaller but that does not seem to be problem the keyboard no longer has the UNK row that is now in the symbols group accessed by the sym key that is an inconvenience but the symbols group does not close after symbol is selected which is more convenient when putting in long password for wifi that contains mainly numbers kindle wifi recognized my home network and hooked up to it immediately after entering the security password get fewer bars at home on at 3g with kindle than got with the sprint connection on my kindle sure that function of the two UNK coverage in my location the kindle came more than half charged it took only an hour or so to fully charge my first impressions are totally positive think going to love the kindle even more than the kindle only disappointment is the lack of covers and cases beyond amazon available yet after the experience of UNK the UNK on the kindle where the tabs of the amazon cover are UNK will no longer use covers that rely on that system but the overall experience is much bigger improvement than thought possible 1 head over UNK in love with my kindle brand new kindle owner here had always wanted kindle but the high price put me off after the ipad came out the desire to get kindle was sky high but read somewhere that folks UNK amazon would counter the ipad with new kindle certainly by the november time frame and lo and behold they did at 139 for the wi fi model couldn resist pre ordered and then told my wife what did spent the whole month of aug reviewing titles and making up long long list of titles wanted to download even downloaded and printed the 200 page user guide must have worn out those pages reading it every day in august was ready for my kindle to arrive the book that cost the most was the book choose to have the UNK of being the first book bought for my kindle afraid by jack UNK for 99 all the rest of the titles bought were under and most were under of course downloaded large number of free books like alice in wonderland and king UNK UNK via amazon or UNK net have been having ball organizing my titles into collections for me my wife samples and classics have sent pdf documents to my kindle mail address and had them converted by amazon played around with the fonts and even text to speech tonight plan to download some background music files have even had to do couple of restarts one soft and one hard both times the kindle UNK with no problems can see where buying books can get UNK planned to spend 50 the first weekend downloading books from my long list ended up only spending UNK so still have bunch of books to get but plan to slow down and work my way up to the 50 mark each day have been adding few more free classic titles seem to be in UNK to read and am currently involved with titles afraid alice in wonderland UNK island UNK on my kindle and still reading day by day UNK beyond UNK in trade paperback tonight my UNK red lighted cover should be at my house and can wait to try that out haven been this caught up with device since switched to UNK UNK years ago have been reading lots of good advice from kindle and owners who have been nice enough to post helpful tips about the kindle like the restarts and leaving the kindle on in sleep mode as opposed to turning it off every night hooked 1 best reader on the market period have purchased every screen kindle since they launched my husband strange enough has gotten each one for our anniversary the newest kindle is awesome it UNK me for so many reasons let me just say ink clarity for second thought it was in UNK it is so clear can only imagine how this will reduce the very little eye strain an avid reader feels from the kindle truly you could ready for hours on end and your eyes would never tire the lightweight feel the awesome graphite color the improved directional pad the smaller size make me love the kindle so much more it is all the kindle has to offer and then some it is the and then some that makes the kindle the very best book on the market am amazed when meet people that have not heard of the kindle there is no other reader on the market that can hold tiny UNK flicker next to the kindle if you are considering purchasing one do it you won regret it if you are considering upgrading from an older version don UNK yourself buy it love my kindle 1 new wi UNK just love my new kindle the wi fi was easy to set up and is very fast to load books the new screen contrast is fantastic and the new size is great have loaded UNK books on my kindle and find it is so easy to use and reading with it is pure pleasure have had my new kindle since the end os september and do not know how lived without it just finished my UNK book and just love to read with it 1 excellence all around we are truly impressed with our recent purchase we order the 3g kindle and truly love them we had originally ordered the kindle but wanted the smaller 3g for travelling purposes not only did we receive our items in timely fashion but to our surprise the purchases made on the previous kindle were transfered to our kindle what surprise so when we received our package we were able to continue reading where we had left off we love the kindle 3g for ease for user friendly and just great all around product we will definitely recommend this reader to our friends and family thanks kindle and thanks amazon for being great source of this wonderful product 1 excellent for reading prepared content ok for general purpose ve owned the device for about one day now got it delivered at work where UNK policy UNK UNK based wifi UNK that is not supported on the device at home with traditional UNK wifi access point it worked pretty well the most annoying thing noticed is the ghosting effect of the page flipping and the on screen keyboard for UNK symbols also when you have technical pdf the page flipping is very long process like seconds long not sure if this is expected but it clearly UNK me other than that the magazine reading experience or the newspaper reading experience is very good complicated navigation model with page flipping controls that do scrolling and the cursor that does across section navigation also the menus do not have the rotate through feature you can only go up or down till the end or the top but not move from the bottom item to the first item the wsj kindle edition even had grayscale pictures that looked good the web browsing is ok facebook if you go to the mobile address is acceptable yahoo allows you to go to the mobile page of yahoo mail but it has navigation UNK for the cell phone with keypad number based UNK live UNK kind of sucks on the kindle browser have to see more blogs rss feeds to see what is the experience there have not tried book yet meaning full book that you might actually want to read end to end as compared to the manual that you UNK by jump and scroll the UNK of the dictionary and the built in word search is superb UNK and easy to use 1 useful UNK improvements over kindle ve been kindle user since november 2007 like the readability of ink the ability to carry dozens of books when travel and the ease of buying new books on the road the kindle is useful upgrade to the family but without any truly UNK changes was UNK by how small it was when first unpacked it yes it only 20 smaller and 17 lighter than my kindle but the kindle was already UNK small and light the screen is still the same size as before the ink is slightly higher contrast than before the background seems whiter but only slightly so far am not noticing any major change in display speed page turning and within page navigation seems roughly similar to the kindle there are numerous minor ergonomic improvements the side buttons are slimmer but still easy to click the new way navigator is UNK and am finding it easier to use than the old one the side buttons are now UNK with both sides UNK forward and backward buttons and the home back menu keys UNK to the main keyboard UNK that is mostly what want when reading to save space the number row has been removed from the keyboard you need to use the sym key to access the numbers on an on screen symbol keyboard currently finding that mild nuisance as do sometimes use numbers to navigate between book locations especially if lose my place the software seems to be mostly the same as in the latest kindle software for the kindle one minor change is that the title bar is sometimes UNK it appears on the current page when you enter or re enter book but is UNK from later pages as you page forward have slightly mixed UNK about that but it does give little more reading space per page opted for the wi fi only version as am normally within reach of either wi fi network or desktop computer when want to download books found it straightforward to connect to my home wi fi network and to my local starbucks used the kindle web browser to open the starbucks welcome page and click through their accept terms conditions box and button was then able to download many of my existing books from amazon was initially dismayed that my carefully organized collections didn show up but it turns out that you need to go into archived items and manually select add other device collections to download the collection information from an earlier device also be patient it took several minutes for mine to show up and be fully UNK overall the kindle continues to develop the UNK of the kindle family it is easy to hold and to navigate it is comfortable for UNK reading it lets me carry and with kindle collections organize large library of books the new smaller size and UNK ergonomic improvements are welcome updates from the kindle this is my third kindle and glad to have it 1 amazon kindle wi fi have just received my kindle wi fi as of 27 10 it was ship out two days early as one was told have already set up my wireless connected with wi fi have order book the UNK of the UNK sent to my kindle am going to give my kindle good test for three weeks to see how things work out with it so far am pleased with my kindle one has order also got the leather cover for it too am not sure if one will buy newspapers or magazines that would be sent to my kindle thanks UNK 1 not the perfect do it all device but very close to being the perfect reading device woke up to nice surprise this morning new kindle as gift have an ipad and kindle dx but guess someone heard my complaints of them being too heavy and difficult to do extended reading on don get me wrong absolutely love my ipad and dx but this new generation of kindle is perfect for reading outside and for long periods of time the ipad gets completely UNK out in sunlight and often UNK my eyes staring at it for more than couple of hours the dx was my go to device for those extended outdoor reading periods but now have new friend for reading novels instead of replacement this one seems more like companion to the other devices and is different class the ipad works great for web browsing shopping UNK games etc while the kindle falls short in those areas the kindle works great for reading novels where the ipad falls short for those that love to do extended reading of magazines newspapers research articles etc find that the dx is the go to device without doubt the size and weight of the new kindle is the biggest draw for me it smaller than the last edition by significant margin ve played around with the kindle and was impressed but now looking at the size of the new kindle blown away it the absolute perfect size smaller would be UNK and larger wouldn feel nearly as good this is device that you can hold up read and just forget that it there compared to other readers ve tried it much smaller and much lighter one of my biggest complaints about the previous generation kindles and the dx is the speed it sometimes takes while after you push next page for it to actually change in addition the web browsing feature was so slow and clunky that it is really unusable in my opinion two UNK to the new kindle have helped UNK these issues first the pages do flip quicker albeit still slow in my opinion and the addition of wifi has allowed faster connection for wireless activities much better than only UNK on 3g still can see myself using the kindle as an internet browsing tool or really doing much online aside from purchasing reading material but the faster connection at least opens up the possibility something that would only UNK me on previous editions the new kindle also offers better contrast than previous editions and it looks fantastic compared to every other reader have seen have no trouble seeing the screen in dim light or in bright sunlight it really opens up the ability to read almost anywhere you are of course you ll still need separate light for extremely dark areas another big addition to the kindle is that it offers double the storage compared to kindle ve never had problem with the amount of storage since can possibly see myself filling up that much space don put mp3 on it but perhaps in the future if certain applications or media files are put on the kindle it could have been problem the additional space in the new model is definitely welcome addition but bringing back the memory card slot that was included on kindle would have been an even more welcome addition in my opinion among readers definitely recommend the kindle if not just because it has better size form factor contrast battery life and speed compared to every other reader have tried on top of that you get the wonderful amazon buying experience and selection for all your literature and can keep your kindle library UNK between whatever other device you want to download kindle application onto the question of whether you need kindle vs another type of device for reading becomes little more tricky and really comes down to what you want to use it for do you want device to read novels on perhaps read outside and have something very light that you almost forget it there buy the kindle do you want something to lie in bed with for short periods of time while surfing the web might suggest going with the ipad different tablet or netbook do you already have kindle or that tough one don think the new edition has enough new to it to warrant the upgrade in my mind but some might value the new size and wifi capabilities even more so than do for me the new kindle was welcome addition to my family of devices since didn have anything anywhere near its form factor and convenience should you get 3g wifi or just wifi think this question can be answered simply by asking yourself if you travel lot being able to buy books and access wireless content on the road is an UNK option and well worth the extra money in my mind keeping the device mainly at home or near wifi UNK really UNK the need for 3g though overall have to give the kindle star rating because it does what it was designed to do very well and in my opinion better than any of the competition while the new features and capabilities aren game changing and truly outstanding it is smaller more capable and better than any other reader out there if you want one device to handle it all this isn the place to look but if you want fantastic device solely for reading books this is what you want 1 it was worth the wait my husband surprised me with kindle for our anniversary he didn know at the time of purchase he was buying the newest product and would have to wait until it was released to receive it well received my kindle in the mail the day it was released and started downloading and reading later that day it is my first kindle and so far so good it is very easy to download books and start reading the screen is amazing love all the options and can see why so many people have turned to these two things have noticed that could be done better is the text to speech something was very excited about sounds terrible and is hard to listen to little less easy to follow also the screen always works well in light does not work well in dark would be nice if there was feature to read in the dark oh well so far am enjoying my kindle and would highly recommend to anyone 1 it here and even better than the kindle our kindle 3g arrived this afternoon and as expected is even better than our kindle us smaller lighter better screen contrast pleasant new darker gray case color it even arrived with 20 books pre ordered already installed earlier this summer dropped our kindle us and broke the screen shortly before the kindle 3g was announced amazon kindly repaired it for reasonable fee and noticed the screen on the replacement had much better contrast than the original had ever had now the kindle 3g has even better contrast and my wife and no longer have to share one kindle for anyone wondering whether to get an ipad or UNK instead all can say is get em all we bought the ipad first and find it great for reading in dark places then we got an UNK so my wife could get my UNK after hers broke she prefers the actual keyboard of the UNK find the UNK also great way to read kindle books either in the dark or while commuting to work by train though have to hold the iphone really close and take off my glasses to read well on it UNK neither the ipad nor the UNK is good for reading in sunlight though and the ipad gets really heavy after while so having real kindle too is in no way UNK for us 1 the newest kindle worthy UNK direct my review to those kindle users who are still UNK on to their first generation kindles as have done why trade up to newer kindle when was still in love with the first one my kindle has traveled all over europe and out UNK with me and although the battery was replacement and the case had small crack beginning never saw the need to upgrade until now at 189 00 thought why not this way could share my old kindle with one of my kids after 24 hours with my new kindle can honestly tell you this trade up trade up now the print screen is so clear you UNK you were turning the pages of book the time it takes to page through or look up chapter again like you were paging through book love having the pages forward and back on both sides the ease of UNK it in my purse or backpack the lightness of it in my hand and the ability to read landscape or portrait very handy for reading yourself to sleep no more UNK in back to switch the kindle or wireless on and off in every way am pleased as UNK with my decision to upgrade have probably sold thousand kindles over the years because everywhere go people will come up and ask me what am reading have always been most UNK representative won need to be now this new kindle it sells itself know what everyone in my family will be getting for christmas this year at this price do yourself favor and upgrade now you won be sorry 0 don buy for europe got mine here in germany and it was delivered broken shipping costs are 20 for europe costs of return are around 15 but luckily amazon gives me 95 so can send my kindle back to them should have bought some paper books instead 1 awesome have had each generation of the kindle and each time amazon has UNK itself love the kindle the k3 has very crisp text faster page turns longer battery life don need it to do other things just want to read and love it 1 pleasantly UNK k3 wi fi only am pleasantly surprised by how much like the k3 was totally shocked by how much smaller it was than the k2 it is quicker very comfortable to hold and the graphite color doesn UNK the new cursor works well and have UNK fingers not sure how those with long UNK will do love the screen now just have to decide does the hubby get k2 or k3 the smaller page turn buttons respond well and having the menu and back buttons seperate is nice the new browser was very fast and having the UNK view with the zoom box is nice overall am very happy with the k3 using food scale the UNK with cover and mighty UNK is 19 oz the UNK with cover is 16 oz the k3 with cover lighted is 15 oz 1 great for the tech challenged am UNK year old tech challenged wife and mom who loves to read and was encouraged to try this by my children have never used another reader so what share will possibly help those who are on the fence to try this technology for the first time basically love it it has been the easiest gadget to begin with have ever tried and every new feature have tried to navigate has been breeze love the contrast on the screen and the ability to change print size is awesome everything that was described on the website has been true or even better am not interested in doing anything with this except reading so the 3g and web browsing are not important to me the fact that can shop for and have new book in my hands in less than minutes without leaving my home unbelievable thank you amazon for making reading even more fun than it was before 1 kindle is the best must say first and foremost that for someone like me who has been complete and total bookworm for most of her 35 years this product is godsend am so very very impressed with the kindle wi fi thus far although still have much to learn of it just purchased one pre order received 30 2010 and have already read of my first book have been like ten year old waiting for new toy UNK pre ordered july 30th and ever since getting this product would say its the best 200 kindle wi fi 139 and leather lighted cover 59 99 that have ever spent would have to strongly UNK others as has been done in other reviews for the kindle that until when and if the price goes down little more bought the wi fi 139 model this product probably should not be purchased by someone who is not an avid reader like am am not one of the UNK readers have voracious UNK for books so for someone like me the kindle is very big deal so this in my opinion should not be UNK purchase think long and hard before you do it for it is little pricey if you are only the occasional reader if you are big time reader though go for it if you purchased the kindle with the leather cover just know that it will be little UNK and UNK than the kindle by itself however love the cover got for would be UNK if dropped it without some sort of cover on it mine is the 59 99 lighted cover which is great for me at work spend lot of time either behind the wheel or as co driver and it keeps me UNK on the UNK not driving but my only complaint thus far is that the light doesn do much for lighting up the keyboard on the kindle the keys are little small for my liking and it is difficult if you are highlighting passages or surfing the wi fi at night while using the light no technical expert on these kind of gadgets this is my first one really but am very impressed with the battery life so far don know yet about the month life as ve only had it one to two days but when got it out of the box it had charge on it it only went down tiny bit since then because my cover used some of the power to activate my book light now it is fully charged and fully intend to see if amazon lives up to its claim of one month battery life without using wireless am not too UNK about the text to speech feature think it still needs some UNK for the woman voice just sounds mechanical and when you try to adjust the speech level it is difficult to get the speed the way you like it its too fast or too slow even at default mode or maybe just fast reader and it just seems slow don know also it seems like the volume control could be little UNK especially if your in noisy car or other UNK haven yet tried out the feature for playing mp3 tracks yet plan on doing that soon maybe haven really tried using the experimental web browser yet either only to access the kindle store which have mostly done from my home pc anyway hard for me to say if its my computer that is slow or just whispernet or whatever they call it since it took probably minutes to download each of my books not the 60 seconds or less amazon claims however have the less expensive model wi fi this is probably why and it may seem silly but am very impressed with the power saver function the kindle has UNK out when trying to turn it off only to discover its little screen saver type function for an ereader that doesn have color feature it has amazing pictures of authors and noted UNK displayed when on sleep mode this UNK me for the ink feature does very good job of UNK pictures and text even without the color feature maybe future editions will have color that would be very cool for my ten year old already wants some children books put on kindle and it would be nice if one day there could be color illustrations for the magazines and books you can get from the kindle store that reminds me the kindle store don know if there are any other sources yet that you can get your books and stuff from although told there are but the kindle store seems pretty well put together wish they had more selection in their magazines they have pretty extensive collection but most of the mags are ones ve never heard of prices are okay once again must stress that the prices are going to seem high in some cases if you are not an avid reader some out of print books are 99 or less but if you want the more popular novels or best sellers they are going to run you few dollars more than the bookstore but hear that this is not as per amazon but as per established set publisher prices so who knows maybe someday this will change as these ereaders get more popular at any rate most of the books ve purchased as paperback or hard cover editions run from to 99 or more as stated by amazon not bad deal if you are an avid reader maybe not such good deal if you are an UNK reader as for me the avid reader am willing to pay the price and am impressed by the fact that can literally carry whole library around with me if wanted to 3500 books wow so just make sure you do your UNK can stress that enough spent over week doing internet research before made this purchase in short if you are fan of books like me have one word buy buy buy buy buy this kindle happy reading 1 worth the upgrade the latest generation kindle is indeed significantly lighter smaller with much better contrast other improvements like the graphite color two side page buttons and lower price point make this one of the most attractive ereaders around this is the perfect travel companion for any avid reader note of UNK you may experience multiple problems your new kindle if you don first charge and connect to network before starting to use it encountered multiple problems prior to connecting to wifi network for me didn have to do anything besides connect to network for my kindle to connect to amazon register and upload my archived books after your first wifi connection registration you should be able to do pretty much everything via usb don be UNK like me connect to the network when setting up for the 1st time transferring books my amazon bought books were automatically archived on the k3 once connected to network and it registered you can also manually uploaded from the manage kindle page via wirelessly or by usb moving amazon files from one kindle to another via usb will not work since each file is UNK for specific kindle to UNK file sharing transferring non amazon bought files is snap just UNK and dropped them into the documents file of my k3 for reference use mobipocket UNK publisher edition for conversion transferring calibre converted files may not work according to some users due to software UNK issues upgrading to calibre UNK 16 or higher will install the k3 driver allow your files to readable software update is now UNK this seemed to be the fix needed for my constant battery drain software lock ups http www amazon com gp help customer display html UNK UNK ie UNK UNK UNK pros significantly better contrast took some to get use to lighter smaller easier to hold longer attractive price point two UNK page UNK next previous graphite case making reading easier and no need for extra skin no more UNK joystick increased storage space battery life more than UNK cons significant battery drain when wireless is turned on for even short time corrected software upgrade repeated lock ups corrected software upgrade registering is required for it to be fully functional not native pdf viewer contrast can be adjusted books are still unable to be UNK by folders files but UNK UNK is nifty buttons are different takes time to get use to joystick replaced by very smaller flat controller that is hard to use even my small fingers 1 love it bought the 2nd generation kindle when it came out and really liked it except for few things thought could be improved on the first being the darkness of the print and the second was the battery life well both have been significantly improved in the kindle mine arrived yesterday and love it the UNK is lighter than the previous version and the text is darker so it much easier to read it also smaller and lighter than the previous version the only thing ve noticed so far that don like is that the book title doesn appear at the top of the page now do know what reading but liked that feature short review but can say very happy with the new kindle 1 kindle3 is UNK just received the kindle today UNK along with the lighted UNK red leather cover the k3 is very compact has very crisp text and faster page turns book cover with its built in light provides the perfect protection for my new kindle 1 the new kindle is excellent will talk first about the new kindle with wireless and then give few opinions of the kindle in general have previously bought three kindle gave kindle to each of my children plus kindle dx the new kindle is noticeably faster turning pages and searching the screen is the same size and has easier to read letters the kindle is more compact and lighter the storage is much greater have only UNK more space on my kindle so the more than UNK of storage to gb means am set for the life of the new kindle with wireless the download times and store browsing go much faster did not get g3 version because am usually near wireless except when travel and then using g3 UNK the battery quickly the only minor downside of the new kindle is that the numeric keys are removed as in the kindle dx which with my fingers made it difficult to put in the password to connect to my wireless network on the other hand the new keys are much easier to use like the kindle very much and would like to make few general comments first formats the kindle reads several formats besides azw it reads the mobi and prc formats plus text and pdf free ebooks typically out of copyright books are readily available www gutenberg UNK and UNK net are excellent plus there are UNK free sites many really fine fantasy and science fiction may be found at the UNK free library site www UNK com library these ebooks are available in variety of formats including the formats mentioned above moreover conversion of other formats may be done through amazon or directly on your pc mobi is format of company owned by amazon you can download the free software UNK www mobipocket com en UNK UNK UNK and convert pdf and word files to mobi format which the kindle reads just fine second weight the kindle and the kindle are very light you can read them laying on UNK or sitting in UNK chair without your arms getting tired barely use my kindle dx because it is too heavy to read comfortably on UNK for extended periods of time note the kindle dx is much lighter than tablet computer so cannot imagine extended UNK reading on tablet third digital rights the kindle has very UNK digital rights though very few books have limit saw one with limit of five all the books have bought can be read simultaneously on all the kindles bought in my case this means that the books bought may be read by my whole family at the same time from this review you can see read novels can imagine color coming to the next generation of the kindle nice but except for the covers novels don use color for text books with diagrams you need not only color but larger screen but larger screen would mean it would be different device it would be nice if the kindle had some feature allowing libraries to lend books for some period 1 my first kindle my first reader was sony prs 505 and then went to the apple ipad which love now have the newest kindle by amazon ordered it with the case with the built in light to go with it am not sure if it is the light that is UNK the kindle battery really fast but read book UNK pages in the dark while my spouse UNK and it seemed to drain over half of the life of my battery will try to read another book today after recharge the kindle without using the light and see how well it does and then re post if it still drains just as fast then my question would be thought it held charge for month will most likely have to direct that question to amazon for the most part like the fast page turns and how responsive the kindle is compared to my sony reader overall impressed and considering the battery issue just may keep the kindle later on today will be the UNK factor will keep you updated 1 exceeded expectations received k3 wifi 3g this morning ordered lighted cover the screen print contrast is so much clearer and crisper have k1 UNK UNK for comparison far far more responsive close to instant on so far favorite feature is the ability to set font to condensed line spacing to medium the fourth smallest font size for me this UNK is so UNK book like very light but solid to hold like the lighted cover the lighting is good will always be where need it only turns on when kindle is on will watch battery life with interest have cable internet connection at home in an area poor att coverage rural ne wi downloading was faster than on any previous model my UNK to this time have all be on the sprint network which has performed UNK well in my case wifi will be the default it nearly instant this speed will depend on the wifi network you are using am highly recommending this model would love to see these UNK on dx soon please 1 UNK leap and bound from the kindle had very good relationship with my kindle and was unsure if newer generation kindle would ever win me over sure the k1 had its UNK but the thing had stolen my heart so much so that its UNK hardly bothered me it was not until realized how many UNK the amazon team jumped through to get the k3 ready for the dog and UNK show that was convinced then did the very hard thing of looking at my k1 with critical eye and UNK the innovations that had been made on its new UNK below is summary of the highlights and the UNK of amazon UNK with the k3 to skip to the main points simply read the UNK of each section the UNK text as crisp and UNK as ever book readers and k1 UNK UNK will notice the sharpness of the k3 text one side effect of the k1 text was the fact that the edges of letters had slight UNK to them and were little on the UNK side this is certainly not the case with the k3 text its big its bold and its beautiful funny enough even encounter the UNK read faster effect on the k3 because the font is so easy on the eyes UNK page turn and interface speeds the k1 speed could be best compared to that of turning page on an actual book sure that may be decent but it is only natural to expect our technology to be more responsive than their real life counterparts the duration of the classic reader flash is incredibly short on the k3 and should UNK those who UNK it on the k1 much less however the star of the speed category should not only be UNK to the page turns but the interface speed itself hardly notice any delay when moving the cursor around or using the menus on the k3 from UNK UNK to light as air UNK the k1 was hardly brick in the hand even after UNK it with cover however the minute you UNK the thing in your pack you would feel that you added on some UNK weight the k3 has gone on quite the UNK and UNK like feather on the hand covered or UNK you will not notice it at all in your carrying case UNK one of these days ll have forgotten which bag put it in UNK still the same great selection the amazon store always UNK to stock any book looking for while there will be few select instances where one obscure novel or another has not had the kindle UNK pretty much any UNK book in existence is still 60 seconds away also the great thing to keep in mind is all the free books at your finger tips you re UNK to find almost any 100 year old public domain classic either within the amazon UNK or other great sources the only UNK quality about the store itself is that it only sells the kindle proprietary format as that is the only type of ebook that can be read by the kindle will cover more on this later wonderful wi fi while did UNK up the extra UNK to get the free 3g coverage knew would primarily start UNK the wi fi feature hooking up to the home wireless was breeze and many out there who settled for the 139 wi fi only kindle will not be disappointed so far it doesn seem to suck up the battery like the 3g might and the connection is as reliable as the wi fi on my laptops enjoying wi fi on your k3 may take bit of tech UNK though especially if someone other than you set up your router and put password on your network other than that you should be hooked up fairly quickly after simple UNK up on the UNK of wireless connectivity the UNK memory card slot UNK some ebook media UNK will be UNK that the memory card slot was UNK 500 books is more than enough for me but can certainly understand that my needs do not reflect everyone else needs memory cards also serve as nice physical backup of content as well even know of some folks who UNK their k1 books via memory card to UNK for the lack of the k2 k3 collections feature while those who took the plunge to purchase the k2 got over the UNK of this nice feature still believe in the future kindle generations to come memory card slot should return UNK web browser the web browser on the k3 is still on the sluggish side unlike the other speedy UNK on the device never bought the k3 thinking use it for web browsing but several people still desire UNK UNK UNK quality to their gadgets those who are UNK their decent blackberry browsers neat iphone ipad browsers or similar things will probably be disappointed upon looking at this as said earlier though this was never UNK to me and at the end of the day the most use the browser on the k3 will get from me is for emergency internet access pdf viewing still leaves alot to be desired while do appreciate amazon UNK to correct pdf viewing on the kindle its still not simple and snappy enough to leave me satisfied the zoom feature is UNK essential and does great in pinch but the fact still remains that if pdf is not properly formatted for the kindle it will look terrible thankfully am aware of the UNK to easily accomplish this task or if lazy can email file to amazon to let them have go at it however many out there who simply want device where they can pop file on it and be done with it will be quite disappointed another UNK regarding pdf viewing is that auto rotation while present on the kindle dx is not included on the k3 meaning that you have to open up another menu when you want to view something in landscape still no epub support though there are several programs which can correct the UNK of no epub support on kindles calibre or mobipocket UNK for example the fact still remains that there is no native support for epub even with software solutions UNK can get in the way in which case there is no chance at all for you to convert your favorite ebook to kindle format UNK that is however it may not be fair to point the finger at amazon regarding this issue most of the readers on the market are limiting the format of books they can recognize to their own proprietary formats at the end of the day this bad can pretty much apply to most of the readers on the market in general unfortunately there is only so much that can be covered in review and the k3 UNK other numerous improvements that did not mention UNK integration quieter page turns longer battery life etc at the end of the day the UNK above should generally give you an idea of what was done successfully or UNK on amazon newest kindle whether you are still an UNK lover of the printed page or k1 UNK hesitant to give up on good thing the k3 will improve your reading experience and then some 1 excited my kindle 3g wireless wifi is UNK gift from my UNK son love it love to read and to finally be able to read and not have to worry about where was going to put another book in my small apartment is weight off my shoulders now can finally UNK all my paperback and hard cover books and download all or at least most of them onto my kindle it is light weight slim and very easy to use with tons of features the change of font size is blessing as well dont have any other devices to compare it to but am very happy with this one 0 no epub no kindle no epub support no kindle lovely slick piece of technology but to proprietary epub is the standard public libraries use and widely used format can see how any current generation reader can leave this out unless the intent is to push more book sales of course star on the technology star overall because of its use 1 the kindle continues to improve beautiful device by an UNK UNK my kindle original version became defective the first day amazon was taking orders for the kindle so naturally immediately ordered the slate grey kindle with free 3g wi fi after day or so of use here are my comments many of which compare the kindle to the kindle had very little experience with the kindle physical the kindle is very thin even more important the width of the unit is now such that it will barely fit in the UNK pocket of typical men suit coat the slate grey color is very attractive and the finish on it has more pleasing texture than did the original kindle most importantly the page forward reverse bars are smaller in both width and length this was UNK change to the kindle as well with the original kindle it was difficult to handle the device without accidentally hitting the page bar this is no longer problem the kindle screen also refreshes noticeably faster than the kindle this combined with somewhat UNK touch to the page bar results in more satisfying reading experience as regards turning pages on the device the roller style track button along the right side of the device present on the kindle is now gone replaced by four way arrow pad this is decided improvement initially it takes bit of initial UNK for the user to know whether the kindle wants you to scroll right or down left or up for certain menu selections but found myself quickly UNK to this format it is largely intuitive the highlighting method that the arrow pad UNK allows the reader to more easily highlight text in order to create highlight clips or notes one criticism is that it is very easy to accidentally hit the back key that is just below the four way arrow pad am not particularly big guy and my fingers make this error on regular basis one of the prices we pay for the unit small size the battery is supposed to last lot longer between charges as compared to the kindle after day of using the device with 3g enabled all the time can confirm that this is the case screen it is wonderful when first opened the package there was start up screen visible and it was so crisp that really did think for moment that it was paper cover over the screen the contrast and definition of the kindle screen is probably about as good as black and white format is going to get for this size of screen new feature for me is the fact that the kindle allows the user to put the screen into landscape mode via the screen rotation option which is part of the text menu which sometimes like to do this also allows the user to rotate the screen UNK UNK so that the keypad is at the top rather than the bottom interface the kindle allows the user to create book collections which is something that many kindle users wanted for long time it is very easy to create collection james UNK and then move all of the appropriate novels into the collection the interface is easy and intuitive did not read the instructions and very quickly found myself creating numerous collections which greatly UNK what had been very UNK collection of books sorting only by title and author really did not work UNK for me this is very important new feature as noted above the highlighting feature is also improved over the kindle further the user can look up the definition of word simply by placing the cursor via the four way arrow pad next to the word this is easier and much faster than the method used by the kindle wish to UNK number one is probably touchscreen format this would be nice although as noted above the page turning experience of the kindle is very satisfactory with the redesigned page bars it would also be nice to have the unit automatically switch from portrait to landscape without requiring the user to go into the menu and of course many users would like to see color and also perhaps an optional backlighting feature would also like to see the back key placed further away from the four way arrow pad lastly amazon needs to continue its drive to get everything available for the kindle some of my favorite authors are still either not available or only UNK available on kindle conclusion this is beautiful unit with an excellent touch and feel physically it is very pleasant to handle the screen is excellent the collections feature is wonderful improvement the human engineering of the kindle is significant advance over the original kindle the small size UNK that my kindle will be with me on all plane flights trips and vacations highly recommended UNK 1 best ebook reader after having owned kindle for just two weeks was eager to swap it for the new kindle it is so much smaller it makes the kindle look old display is really fantastic and fast one minor problem have is the position of the back button it is too close to the UNK keypad seem to always hit that instead of the cursor down key thanks to amazon and ups for the super fast delivery to germany amazon now please go ahead and publish more german content am not going to write any more because have to read my kindle calls me 1 best kindle yet best kindle yet and ve owned them all screen clarity is great very fast kindle is the UNK for all ereaders 1 impressive but not compelling enough received my UNK on release date as promised by amazon played with it little bit and here are my first impressions pros improved display yes there is visible difference compared to k2 fine UNK and pdf displays are clearer ability to adjust contrast to your comfort small and light weight as advertised compared to k2 connectivity wi fi is major addition that makes network connection really fast web surfing is breeze it takes little while to get accustomed with the new browser on off switch is UNK smoothly and indicates the status charging charged with UNK green light no change collections no change from k2 still primitive and difficult to manage mp3 player no change from k2 can view the music list and select UNK same UNK voices not so good pdf display of course this screen size is not meant for pdfs may not be great form factor to hold without cover key positioning back key is too close to way pad easy to press back instead of down key way pad arrow keys are tiny not easy to use previous and next page buttons are now on both sides that is good but they are very small difficult to use overall k2 keyboard layout was better in my opinion except wi fi there is not much k3 has to offer over k2 still amazon has good job and it is great value for money 1 kindle is must have for every book lover some bullet points on the k3 from kindle owner the new screen is greatly improved more pop whiter background and easier to read in low lighting 3g connection is much faster notice books download quicker and my device UNK connection much faster as an example with k2 after bought book had to wait around 30 seconds for the book to be downloaded with k3 click buy and when go back to the home screen my book is already there better use of screen space about 25 more text on page from my comparison to k2 at the same size font device is comfortable to hold without the cover although do have the lighted cover as well have written another review for the lighted case k3 is lighter and has nicer grip than the k2 page turns are lightning fast you need to use the new kindle to understand how zippy the page turns are new page turn buttons and button layout take bit of getting used to but like them much better than the k2 overall device navigation is very UNK did not experience any bugs or device freeze ups even using annotations the web browser dictionary etc why you should switch from paperbacks to kindle you will read more with the sampling feature book recommendations from amazon and instant access to huge online bookstore you ll find you try more books in UNK range than you did before have your entire library with you everywhere you go no more UNK books around what book should take with when go out for coffee on sunday why don you just take you entire library you can with kindle look up words instantly you ll never have to UNK your reading to look something up in the dictionary just scroll to the word while you re reading and the definition will pop up instantly reading is more comfortable and more consistent than paperbacks kindle is lightweight and font is adjustable to suit you instant access to worlds largest bookstore enough said why kindle is better than other book readers free wireless in over 100 countries month battery life access to the worlds best and most comprehensive online bookstore customer service and support is UNK screen is better than other readers and certainly better than reading on lcd screen ipad are great but if you re serious reader get kindle the latest generation kindle is beautiful works well and provides the best pure reading experience from all devices out there and in my opinion it surpasses the joy of reading physical books buy the k3 if you don have kindle upgrade if you have one and can afford it assure you you won look back 0 UNK change default korean font the UNK font ve ever seen generally speaking have alot of expectation about kindle and new updated kindle os because they officially started to support international fonts including korean am korean user really expect one of beautiful and popular korean fonts that most korean kindle readers are able to like but was very disappointed with the default korean font really hate this font who decided this font for UNK is there no korean UNK in the kindle review team the korean kindle community are very upset about the newly released korean font please change the default korean font into better ones there are more than hundreds korean fonts exist why did you guys choose this korean font if you guys want korean users to be pleased amazon kindle team need to change the korean font very disappointed we korean kindle community please switch into more popular and UNK ones really love the new kindle but really hate the korean font with new update please UNK it UNK 0 so sorry bought kindle am so very sorry bought kindle gave it to my daughter one week UNK of the 30 day refund period just before the price dropped from UNK to 189 amazingly amazon kept UNK me with email ads for the UNK kindle right up until the price dropped ended up paying an extra 70 just to have the kindle an extra month good UNK you think amazon would have little UNK maybe throw in free download or so or give any kind of UNK refund for the difference wrong and now my daughter tells me it is already UNK up to where she cannot archive deleted books among other problems and we are stuck buying overpriced downloads unless we go back to buying paperbacks shame on amazon they don care about their long term customers all they care about is money 1 pretty neat UNK review just received the base model wi fi only along with leather case equipped with led reading light first amazon shipment receive UNK in the company UNK frustration free packaging kudos on the pull UNK to open boxes with UNK UNK sturdy efficient UNK the kindle lives up to the hype the ink display is very pleasant to behold in natural and in UNK light the led light in the optional leather case is powered by the kindle the light design doesn allow for the entire screen to be lit UNK but it will do an adequate job in pinch page turns are relatively snappy and text search speeds will vary with the size of document the email to kindle function works quite quickly and pdf display performance is very good wi fi works well once the kindle UNK all available networks live in an UNK environment where more than dozen networks will be UNK by wireless device it took the kindle couple of minutes to discover all the networks including my office router feet away but once it connected UNK came about with difficulty finally the kindle includes experimental features browser an mp3 player and text to speech utility have no interest in the last two but did UNK with the browser load times are little slow font size cannot be adjusted although page size can be increased and burn in like UNK appear on the ink display as you navigate this does not occur on regular reading screens the browser does not display all sites correctly and some will simply not load strangely enough the amazon shopping link shows up quite nicely once again useful in pinch bought the kindle to read books and for that purpose the device works extremely well 1 great update to the kindle love all the new UNK amazon has made great product even better this design is sleeker and more compact the text is also sharper than ever love the option of having it in black 1 eager to be first awesome 1st impression kindle wifi 3g had to be first okay UNK weeks with the dx graphite loved the screen not the larger size and one UNK page navigation my initial impressions here awesome screen really light and portable will be terrific all the way this is only initial UNK more UNK later 1 speed and quality was impressed listening to jeff bezos talk about the kindle so decided to give it try just got mine today and it took all but days to get it via international delivery to where am days ahead of the estimate impressive amazon the quality of the reader is absolutely excellent and can even begin to compare the reading comfort between the kindle and the ipad sorry ipad 60 seconds isn joke either it made me believer think what jeff said about people having multi devices is true that what have 1 absolutely wonderful device sets the bar for readers the latest generation kindle is marvelous device that really sets the new standard in electronic reading devices the improvements seen in the new model at price of just 139 for the wi fi version make this remarkable bargain ve read kindle books on the iphone ipad and pc but have held off until now on dedicated reader due to the price with the arrival of the kindle this afternoon very glad waited for this third generation the details have been UNK and UNK in great detail but ll highlight what ve seen already that make this such great unit setup including secured wifi access was incredibly simple the new high contrast ink screen is really great for reading had seen this mentioned in reviews but the difference between the dedicated ink screen and lcd screens like on the ipad is night and day the page turn speed is much better than in earlier models of the kindle after seeing first generation kindle of friend thought would never get kindle as fast reader the delay and flicker in earlier models was terrible while not completely gone it no longer deal breaker the combination of the ink screen with the graphite case really does improve the contrast and readability tremendously new fonts having choice over serif or sans serif and the ability to use UNK font is great even better is the ability to adjust the line spacing so you have much more control over how much text is present on page for unit this is so important text to speech this worked surprisingly well with the option to speed up or slow down the voice or choose male or female voice was very nice you can pause restart speech with tap of the space bar smaller design while the screen size is identical to the kindle it about half inch less all around or 21 less area it really small portable and crazy thin while having lot more reading area than the iphone almost went with the dx model out of fear it would not be much better than reading on my phone but after reading whole book tonight it was far superior pdf support is greatly improved another reason glad waited for this new model with kindle books there is also instant word look up via included dictionary UNK integrated social network support not big deal for some but the ability to select sentence or two and instantly send them plus comment to twitter or facebook is pretty handy battery life looks to be superb download speeds over wi fi are great it has ability to play mp3s even in the background while reading and it even has built in web browser not wonderful but nice to have in pinch if you re an avid reader who has stayed away from the kindle for reasons of price screen quality size or page turn speed stay away no more the new kindle especially the graphite wifi model now have is great unit 1 awesome screen size the same as k2 but device feels so much easier to handle love that with wifi do not have to pay to send documents to the kindle use this to read books and to study for law school load my notes taken in word and easily review them on the kindle and with the wifi it is real easy to update them the screen is better than k2 have not played with pdf so will update this review once use it more 1 kindle UNK best kindle yet received the new kindle wireless no 3g thursday as gift for my better half first thing noticed was the size it is very tiny compared to previous models but with the same size screen amazon redesigned the case to reduce the bezel surrounding the screen much more compact it is very light also compare it to the size of the reader digest the thin one not the original thick one it easily fits in your hand just like the picture second thing noticed dark dark fonts beautiful the screen which is the new model pearl screen is so so much better now look back at my old models and the fonts look UNK and grey now this is my fourth kindle so ve become much more picky and amazon has UNK to my expectations third thing was the power switch moved to the bottom little larger and it lights up green to let you know you have moved it to the right far enough it feels more solid now no more buttons on the top or sides power audio slider charging input and audio input are all on the bottom the speakers are on the UNK UNK now the back is no longer UNK UNK but UNK soft plastic that good thing lighter and more grippy was always worried about the old one UNK out of my hands due to the slick back got the wifi UNK UNK and noticed it faster than edge and 3g were on my previous kindles also noticed everything is much faster on this new kindle page turns menu font changing only played around with the web kit browser just bit but noticed it way faster than the old browser no longer like UNK up know it has UNK built in if they added UNK to the kindle would be ecstatic and probably get the 3g model minute later also am aware though haven tried it of sound UNK menus for the visually impaired think that great thing along with the text to speech function too bad some of the UNK publishers have opted to turn that feature off UNK competition with audio books other things haven been able to try are playing music or audible books all of which this kindle and previous models can do like the graphite color as do feel it adds perceived increase in contrast good thing we got the kindle cover with light and it very nice makes for compact package still small enough to easily read with one hand but adds bit of protection in the case of drop and adds more book like feel to reading the light works well but it is brighter at the top than the bottom this may bother some readers another feature failed to mention you can now select from fonts that great because some are more legible to my middle UNK eyes than others UNK it takes while to get used to the new way controller very easy to use but with my big fingers occasionally hit the back button which is located just below the controller also the keyboard also no longer contains keys specifically for numbers you enter numbers by bringing up the symbol menu not really big deal all in all there is no question that this is the best kindle yet and easily beats any other reader on the market with the new low price give it my highest recommendation 1 the best kindle yet have owned each and every version of the kindle since gen this by far is the best iteration yet the ink is really dark and the screen whiter than ever not only that the page turns are fast too really like the light weight as well as the thinness of it also although it doesn look like much on paper feel that it makes huge difference in your hands and the best part is that you get all of this for fraction of what you paid just few years ago or even couple of months ago think it will be hit with those with disposable UNK or those who just want dedicated reader this kindle is getting to the price point where it makes sense to have multiple devices in your UNK can wait until kindle gets released next year with an even lower price 1 amazing device for the price and features first time buyer and had been pretty skeptical about the kindle previously but when saw the feature list new form factor and price became very interested first impressions this is an excellent reading device the screen is exceptionally clear and crisp having looked at other readers nook sony kobo do think this one does have the best contrast don have very good lighting in my place and it easily visible even in low light the page refresh is also excellent certainly only fraction of second and not very jarring do really like the little features built in to the reading experience the highlighting and bookmarking features are great for taking notes right inside the book and it is somewhat interesting to see what others have highlighted in text as well however these extra annotations are somewhat annoying so thankfully you can turn them off the device is really light in the hand much lighter than nook which makes it quite easy to hold for long periods have wifi only version and it pretty nice the touted at free hotspot access does indeed work and browsing download speeds seem zippy generally quite pleased with the browsing experience on pages with lot of static html and low graphics the browser functions quite well however anytime you try to run page lot of UNK any google service like gmail UNK or docs and or images UNK the kindle tends to crash requiring hard reset so do be careful it also disappointing the way the browser handles certain file types you are limited basically only to kindle books and basic text files as far as supported download types even though the device supports pdfs and mp3 playback also the browser will not launch web links UNK to open in external windows it will simply provide an error and as far as can tell there is no work around as there is no copy UNK equivalent on the device now ve had some better luck mobile versions of google products like UNK just type in google com UNK and if you want to try using full on sites try UNK images and or javascript that also appears to help my only other complaint about the browser comes in the lack of download compatibility you can basically only download amazon book files and simple text files so forget about downloading photos music or even pdfs also depending on how page is written if link is set to open in new window kindle will refuse to load the new page amazon could get around this by telling the browser to launch all links in the current browser session but this appears to be relatively minor overall the rendering UNK is good and somewhat snappy for relatively low UNK ink based system it credit to the UNK and flexibility of the webkit UNK so UNK off to apple engineering team on that one as far as features like to see added obviously better file support would be nice especially to take advantage of the kindle native ability to playback mp3s and open pdfs also an rss reader should be easily UNK for keeping track of site updates and possibly audio UNK the mp3 audio playback is nice touch as really do enjoy playing music while reading but the downside is you have no control over playback order and the controls are bit clunky alt space to pause and alt to skip ahead track but no option for going back track future update here should really UNK some additional audio controls one total pie in the sky feature like would be if clever UNK could figure out how to utilize the disabled UNK now that google is UNK UNK through gmail this could be particularly interesting but tend to doubt that the kindle has enough UNK to handle it overall though it great device at great value go get one 1 solid improvement over better contrast by far faster and UNK glad upgraded now to wait for the gorgeous oberon cover that will fit this model 1 it awesome the new kindle is simply awesome love the contrast small size weight and its elegant design although had some troubles and had to reboot it several times at first but later it works like charm no doubt it the best ereader on the market at the moment 1 great ebook reader not an all purpose portable computer didn buy any of the earlier generations briefly played with friend k2 and wanted one from early on but not at the higher asking prices at some point decided that 150 was my UNK when they announced the 139 version ordered it the same day pretty happy with that as an book reader the kindle is great success the screen is tremendous nearly 100 glare free at any angle even in bright sunlight very good contrast and UNK highly readable even at odd angles and arms length or greater distance the fonts and text rendering are quite satisfactory and reasonably UNK like the condensed font and sans serif looks very nice too the device is very lightweight small and easy to hold it easier than medium sized paperback book to read with one hand and it fits in my UNK pack better than the paperback the page turning buttons are well placed and operate UNK and UNK and the page turning screen refresh is quite snappy it remembers your place in an UNK number of books and will synchronize that across number of devices and pcs its internal memory capacity is enough for hundreds of books and while its library management UNK capability collections might become cumbersome for very large number of books have found it quite adequate with the couple dozen ve loaded so far the text to speech feature works ok actually bit better than expected it definitely not in the same UNK as real UNK read by professional UNK other features including audible audiobooks photos and mp3 background music seem to work just fine within reason if the new webkit browser is much improved hate to have used the old one the kindle browser is imo correctly UNK as experimental often see it get UNK requiring kindle reboot within the first minutes of any attempt ve made to use it including just looking at what should be safe sites like amazon com for now imo it in the UNK bear category remind myself that it purpose built book reader and not intended to be portable browsing device the browser cannot be UNK upon even for casual usage too bad do hope they ll improve it in the future pros amazing screen sharp bright clear fast enough small and light excellent paperback replacement good content loading options including wifi and usb and email outstanding battery life easy enough to load non amazon purchased content though not epub now reasonably priced cons lacks support for epub standard format mon guys really it still new some features UNK local clock time keyboard could be better menu and back keys too easy to hit by accident not really con the experimental web browser isn up to UNK if you want book reader buy the kindle if you want an ipad you know where to find them after half day reading books on an ipad you ll want kindle update october the firmware update fixed my concerns with the browser and other UNK completely now rock solid 1 getting it right the new edition of the kindle reader UNK the technology UNK of getting it right on the third version the blacks are deep and UNK the background light as UNK paper the graphics are sharp and UNK resolved using amazon UNK conversion tool and the provided mini usb cable easily converted all my public domain epub files to kindle compatible mobi files copied them to the device and have everything readable from single location no 3g no problem have the kindle app on my android phone and can indulge in UNK buying at will syncing to the kindle device when get home or to the nearest open wireless location what can be better number of small things add row of numbers over the qwerty keys so that they can be entered without going through the sym key add playlist management to the mp3 player grey out menu items that require an online connection shop sync when the wireless feature is turned off all together the positives far out weigh the negatives on this one glad waited if this device isn home run it definitely stand up UNK 1 worth the wait just received mine UNK and living out in the country with no wifi service was not able to connect was expecting this so had already made my account on the computer put several books in my wish list purchased few went to mcdonalds connected to wifi and the books downloaded UNK this is small enough to fit in my purse so can read while waiting for appointments or anywhere have down time it only been day and already love this looking forward to putting this to full use 1 so much better than the nook had purchased nook in mid july was attracted to the color touch screen UNK and compatibility with my library ebook lending however the flash from the slow page turning was very annoying and the nook could not UNK books into folders week later the 3rd generation kindle was announced and it was advertised with smaller size better contrast and faster page turns immediately returned the nook and pre ordered the kindle it arrived yesterday and it is much better than expected it small it light and the page turning is so much faster setting it up was very easy amazon had pre registered it so my books showed up as soon as UNK the wifi was able to quickly UNK my books which in month had UNK to 28 free and purchased items into collections was up and organized in less than 30 minutes using it is also fairly easy my only criticism is that wish the screen contrast had less gray and was more like the kindle app that have on my iphone guess that the UNK for being able to read it in sunlight also like the lighted red cover it very attractive although the light could cover more screen space best of all it doesn need batteries since it takes it charge from the kindle the only lighted cover for the nook was rubbery UNK and black very happy with both purchases 1 like the kindle this is my first non backlit reader have had the droid pocket pc pc etc and my first impression is the ink screen is great was really concerned about some of the technical issues that other reviewers had with calibre transfers so that was one of the first things tried upon plugging the kindle into the usb on my pc calibre immediately transferred newspaper to the kindle and was able to send non drm books to the kindle with no problem rated stars to me stars would mean perfect have large hands and pressing the center of the way pad is little difficult would also prefer double UNK keyboard would probably be real small letters to use with the sym button it is little annoying to use the way pad to scroll through numbers instead of having them on the keyboard maybe another option is to have double UNK keyboard and two quick press of the key would enter the secondary label overall like the k3 and looking forward in getting some real use out of it and that is reading and not so much key pad entry 1 wow it great my new kindle wifi just arrived today very nice it is well built the weight and size are very comfortable to handle easy to use and can be UNK by UNK UNK skins purchased the amazon kindle lighted kindle cover also the quality is UNK and compact with the kindle in it all in all very good purchase the convenience of its size allows you to carry it with you anywhere you go 1 UNK and early bugs mean four stars only what good one the whole UNK revision smaller form factor and slightly more readable screen what not so good the on off switch has moved to the bottom of the device next to the usb port so if you have right angle usb connector you ll have to reach under it to turn the kindle on the previous position at the top of the device made more sense also the wifi seems buggy certainly entering long pass phrases is problem you can see what you re typing and then they re cut off because the line for entering them is too short after 10 attempts still unable to connect sorry to say that kindle tech support which used to be excellent is now UNK UNK finally the row of numbers has been removed from the keyboard going to location number now UNK using the sym key and UNK with the five way controller which means four UNK turn into 20 plus UNK usability UNK UNK 1 top improvements better contrast wi fi option quieter page turn it been here for couple of hours now and ve run it through its UNK at our house we ve been using kindle for the past year and half so this will be mostly comparison of the and few months ago started noticing that my eyes were getting tired after reading on the kindle for very long and was wishing the contrast could be UNK the kindle takes care of that concern it crystal clear compared text photos and maps and the kindle is UNK sharp on all bought the 3g wireless wi fi UNK to use 3g most of the time for downloading or occasional mails the web browser is so slow as to be for emergency use only but tried the wi fi out of UNK and it picked up signal right away and connected downloads and web browsing are quick and use less battery power than with 3g and here the UNK we don even have wi fi we live in an apartment complex and apparently enough people around us do have it it nice to have the option the lighter thinner kindle looks and feels great and the screen is the same size as the kindle so reading space hasn been compromised on slight downside is that to reduce the space that the keyboard takes up the row of numbers that was on the kindle keyboard has been UNK to the symbols screen so if you want to go to specific location it takes few more keystrokes on kindle than it does with kindle there are forward and back buttons on both sides now for more flexibility and the click of the button is little UNK which is an improvement no one wants to hear click click click for very long the new way controller is better than the toggle it didn take any time to adjust to that there lot more but these are my first impressions am very pleased with kindle another small negative it too small to fit in my kindle cover so ll have to spring for new cover 0 where is it ordered the new kindle over three weeks ago it still hasn shipped why put an item up for sale if it won be UNK for at least several weeks the birthday it was ordered for has come and gone am not pleased 1 new found love for reading first impressions on why love the kindle dictionary with the kindle reading has become so much easier ve never been natural novel lover but the dictionary option really does make reading easier first book read on the kindle pride and prejudice ve attempted to read the book before but never finished finished the book in days with the kindle pdf reader in the past ve printed out journal articles to read and wasted tons of paper the kindle really helps save on paper to UNK articles portable having everything in one place is great can wait to go traveling with it speed size had the old kindle for week before returned it and the pages turn noticeably much faster also the size difference is great overall would recommend this to anyone looking for something to make reading exciting all over again 1 first impressions from an ipad owner first impression review UNK the kindle on july 30 and was pleasantly surprised when it was delivered this morning the kindle arrived charged and UNK on my amazon account so all that was needed was to turn it on set up the wifi on my network and begin using it briefly owned kindle so do have basis of comparison between the two models say briefly owned because ended up selling my first kindle and bought an ipad instead while love my ipad find that don like reading on it mostly due to the weight and eye fatigue from the UNK screen when the kindle was announced the price point UNK to me as does sharing books via the kindle app on the ipad so decided to give it shot the kindle improves in significant ways over the prior generation first obviously is the addition of wifi but what most noticeable is the display with improved contrast that makes it more paper like with lighter background smaller form factor with the same screen size and it very light even compared to last generation this to me is the biggest advantage over the ipad which gets really cumbersome to hold over long periods according to amazon the battery life on this generation is also much improved but only time will tell if that the case my UNK if you already own kindle not sure there anything here to warrant an upgrade but if you love to read and are weighing your options between the kindle and the ipad the kindle is the clear winner of course given apple ipad pricing you can buy wifi ipad and wifi kindle for the same price as wifi 3g ipad who says you can have it all 1 kindle3 wi fi 3g UNK from the moment opened the box loved the new kindle it is just the right size and weight for reading the display is crisp and clear found it easy to set up the wifi and connect to twitter and facebook transferred several mp3s through the usb port the sound quality is acceptable but it is much better through good pair of UNK my only complaints so far are the small keys are difficult for me to use because of UNK of my fingers from arthritis but don really know how they can make them bigger have the same problem with my UNK but rarely would annotate or make notes so it is not that much of problem am very pleased with it 1 looks great but mine died very quickly so my kindle arrived yesterday and it my first ebook reader must say it is great how the contrast is actually comparable to an actual paperback and it quite thin allowing you to hold it with ease ve already downloaded many classic books and some others that found around the internet really like being able to put various books and pdfs on the unit the formatting of free books can get in the way of enjoying them though unfortunately the music player aspect of it won let you view song titles or shuffle between them very effectively and the web browser feels kind of weak but that what my iphone is for anyway not something really bought the product for so don mind however mine has already died off on me and planning to send it back to get it repaired good product otherwise sometimes things just happen suppose edit mine started to work again reported the issue to amazon and they UNK helped me get replacement unit with one day shipping and prepaid shipping label appreciate the service as ve definitely spent enough money here to justify such great service haha 1 very very pleased my k3 graphite wifi only is my first kindle am very very pleased with this purchase had been keeping an eye on the kindle for quite some time but never felt like did enough reading to justify the price but when the k3 came out at 139 jumped on it and haven regretted it since amazon has release great product and was very pleased to get release date delivery for free the controls are very intuitive and haven had any issues with the device the clarity of the screen is amazing am still UNK every time look at it the beautiful sharp screen UNK by the weight and size make reading very very comfortable would highly recommend the kindle to anyone and will be showing it off to all my friends now that have it in hand love it 1 k3 vs prs 505 anyone that has ever UNK an ereader forum knows that the prs 505 has been the long standing UNK for ereaders why because it had the best ereader screen which is why they have held their original UNK of 300 on ebay and UNK of UNK for used one sony didn seem to realize what they had accomplished and even newer models can compare to the screen that was used on the prs 505 ve also frequently read that many people also preferred the prs 505 screen to some of the earlier kindle so purchased prs 505 after returning my UNK sony prs 600 purchase can say it was true the prs 505 screen was beautiful and was even better than paper that brings us to today now an owner of kindle won even bother comparing anything to the prs 600 because it is just that bad other than the convenience of the touch screen history lesson aside in this review will be comparing the kindle with the sony prs 505 because know there are lot of prs 505 owners out there who might be wondering if it would be good switch of course as with all reviews UNK your UNK may vary no UNK are UNK or UNK legal UNK UNK kindle vs prs 505 will UNK kindle k3 prs 505 505 screen quality winner UNK the k3 does have better contrast and would agree with amazon it is about 50 better so no complaints there at all grayscale is great and displays book covers pictures etc better than the 505 however the k3 does have tiny bit more glare than the 505 when say tiny bit do mean tiny bit even if had video camera it probably wouldn show up on camera it is no where near as bad as the prs 700 or prs 600 but it should be known that there is that ever so little UNK amount of glare when compared directly with the 505 personally not enough to make me dislike the k3 and the increased contrast makes up for it therefore it UNK screen functionality winner k3 page UNK are just faster on the k3 than the 505 also the k3 does better job of updating smaller sections of the screen than the 505 did menus it simply more responsive faster and during the white to black to white transition is almost UNK if not natural controls winner k3 did like the controls on the 505 however found myself getting little uncomfortable with them when read for extended periods hours on the k3 have not experienced that UNK not sure if that word but lets go with it the k3 is still new to me so it possible that just haven had enough time with it yet but think ve put in enough use to make that UNK connectivity winner k3 naturally the k3 has wireless and usb the 505 only has usb pretty simple enough said battery life charging winner k3 k3 definitely has better battery life although could be slightly UNK since the battery in the 505 is older but think the k3 has better battery life than even when my 505 was new in terms of charging it was nice of amazon to include wall charger have laptop and don want to leave my laptop on just to charge my ereader with the 505 the wall charger had to be purchased separately plus if you UNK the 505 too much then it took forever for it to start charging via usb and almost needed wall charger memory size winner 505 sorry amazon the 505 clearly has the better memory platform internal memory sony UNK slot sd card slot don think it would have been too difficult to implement UNK card slot into the k3 heck the UNK on the side for connecting the optional k3 cover are about the same size needed for UNK card slot the k3 does have 4gb on board but the UNK option to expand storage would ve been nice not to mention UNK the card into computer card slot to transfer books between the computer and the device instead of the usb cable ebook store winner k3 it doesn get any easier than the kindle store in terms of finding books and downloading them plus the kindle store has many titles that can be hard to find to purchase for the 505 know ve already run into titles that were only available in the kindle store UNK the kindle store is often cheaper than the sony store making it an easy win for the k3 as well understand that there are other stores available to purchase from but the general UNK isn likely to hunt and UNK every ebook store they are more likely to shop at the ebook store that UNK directly with their device and don want to worry about formats converting formats etc UNK pros that the UNK device doesn have or doesn do well kindle dictionary notes welcome addition over the 505 which the prs 600 tried to implement but the screen was horrible web browser automatic download of content periodicals newspapers magazines prs 505 format flexibility library UNK drm UNK feels really solid in the end the kindle is better device for me there are some definite UNK to the prs 505 which make it good device as well but the kindle has brought more of what is expected of an ereader today newer technology and put it in package similar to that of the prs 505 which makes it good compromise 1 the best kindle yet ve owned and heavily used kindle kindle and kindle dx kindle is my favorite so far improvements over kindle the smaller size improves balance UNK weight and is more comfortable to read one handed the increased contrast between font and background is significant and UNK reading though the screen is the same size as kindle more lines are available for book text the title line is hidden most of the time displaying only when the menu button has been pressed UNK white space above and below the text has been eliminated the result is cleaner reading layout with two additional lines of text at my preferred font size page turns seem faster response time moving from inside book to home seems much faster so far ve not experienced the UNK that sometimes occurred with kindle all the controls are at the lower end of the kindle power switch headphone jack volume control recharge port more convenient than reaching up to the top to reach the power switch paging controls are UNK on the left and right side finally amazon had the sense to implement the obvious layout of previous page button above next page button on both sides paging buttons make soft click much more quiet than kindle menu and back buttons have moved to the keyboard area and are convenient locations once UNK my brain the pointer device is very different design and works better for me but also took some adjustment time chose the new graphite color and prefer it to white the new web browser provides truly usable web access web pages look very similar to those rendered by internet explorer UNK etc but no color of course negatives the number keys have moved from the keyboard to the symbols menu time will tell how much of an inconvenience this is yep that the only negative so far was very content with kindle and didn need to buy kindle but am very happy with this UNK whenever upgrade family member UNK my older kindle this works out well with five of us sharing books on my amazon account 1 very nice very nice light and better screen that my kindle dx good price point 1 blown away just got the new kindle today and was immediately blown away by the excellent contrast and readability my wife asked if the screen was real or if it there was UNK still on it after few minutes it is easy to forget that you aren reading paper the screen size is perfect to make reading fast and easy and can tell that ll enjoy this for years to come can see now that ll read lot more with this device which is good for amazon guess well executed product amazon 1 incredible device this is an incredible device love my kindle use it for work on daily basis and reading the nytimes is exceptional on the device my daughter also loves reading UNK on the device buying one for every single person in my family including my mom who at 72 is still teaching english at high school cannot recommend it highly enough UNK UNK 1 game changer this is my first review am bit of UNK apprehensive of UNK to this new technology received the package this evening in box printed UNK frustration free packaging it was opening the box easily found the device to have an incredibly crisp screen with instructions displayed spent few stressful moments trying to remove the screen UNK only to discover to my delight and UNK surprise this was the screen itself you might be hard pressed to find actual physical book with UNK print quality had purchased this as gift for my mother think she might prefer the dx with its larger font screen size though will wait for her opinion we have always UNK that classic print is something the we would never give up this might be strong UNK updates surely will follow 0 korean fonts text to speech freeze updated amazon clearly states that kindle can now display cyrillic such as russian japanese chinese traditional and simplified and korean characters obviously amazon promised korean character display but didn deliver korean fonts look UNK UNK read most my books in english but my wife reads korean books hopefully amazon will come up with fix with software updates by the way korean has only 24 basic letters don think it that difficult to make it work turned on text to speech function and male voice kept on freezing switched to female voice and it worked there must be bug with male voice also kindle freezes time to time know am not seeing some UNK because kindle wasn UNK like this amazon engineers should fix these problems and am sure they will address these issues on next software updates however clearly amazon UNK it until then it star without these problems kindle takes the cake easily and deserves star 0 very low UNK keyboard just got my new graphite kindle today haven had it long enough to compare to my kindle no longer have my kindle am very disappointed in the keyboard the letters are light grey on the dark grey graphite keyboard even under good light they are virtually unreadable have new glasses with 20 20 in one eye and 20 30 in the other going to give it few days but right now UNK toward to returning it for white one or k2 at least the keyboard was readable on that model and it had numeric keys does anyone have white k3 to compare 1 UNK good the new kindle is head and shoulders above not only every other reader on the market by country UNK its better than any previous kindle as well we have kindles in our family and when the new graphite wireless model arrived everybody wanted to try it out we all agree from our 10 year old on up that the new model is much easier to read was going to be busy the night it arrived so loaded up one of my daughters books and she read almost the entire book at one sitting UNK pages this is someone who likes to read but rarely reads more than chapter at time she asked if she could upgrade her original kindle to the new model for christmas 10 year old asking for an reader as her primary christmas present wow she was very impressed for me the updated screen refresh noticeably faster and improved contrast make this one of the best gadget purchases ever the only problem have with the new device is the screen saver amazon seriously this is my kindle not yours and your choice of screen savers is really bad please let us put our own images on this otherwise perfect device 1 the kindle is phenomenal reader just wanted to post short review mainly to get the star ratings on the wi fi kindle off the ground this is the first kindle or even an reader that ve purchased and must say that am thoroughly satisfied with this purchase the kindle which chose in charcoal feels solid in the hand with controls for UNK and UNK UNK and has nice heft to it rather than go over all the UNK UNK UNK in other online reviews ll just say that after having UNK the nook the ipad and now the kindle there is honestly no comparison for people looking for strict reader product the improved contrast is UNK better than the nook and the weight size and sheer portability puts the ipad to shame yes it not UNK device if that can be considered flaw but it not being sold as such ve always been casual reader but have the feeling that the kindle just might make me re UNK that UNK the convenience and speed of instant delivery UNK to the impulse buyer that am the simplicity of the device simply makes reading joy in short if you re casual reader the kindle may just UNK you to put down the tv remote little more often than before extremely satisfied with this purchase my only fear is that ll go UNK with my book purchases or that my UNK UNK might just UNK my wife though suspect ll UNK her to get her own k3 too 0 korean characters kindle3 it been on the top of the must have item yeah it UNK me reading revolutionized wow took your word for it new font choices kindle now has three font UNK to choose from our standard UNK font condensed version of UNK and sans serif option so you can change your font style along with the font size points taken english is the main language so UNK added more fonts UNK font is very beautiful and when it comes to readability would give two thumbs up UNK support for new characters kindle can now display cyrillic such as russian japanese chinese traditional and simplified and korean characters in addition to latin and greek UNK UNK yeah as korean was UNK UNK happy to have korean characters added but you UNK engineers have considered the readability of korean fonts if you are korean and you look at the korean display on kindle for the first time you would be UNK it UNK and UNK it worst ever in my life UNK zero yeah may be UNK very small detail but to the korean users thousands of korean kindle users it eye UNK almost all of the korean users agree with me UNK UNK engineers please change it into better one at least readable one please when it comes to readability font accounts for 90 especially korean language love kindle more than anyone else giving one star doesn mean to UNK kindle 1 love it have loved my kindle and couldn be happier with the new model especially like the wireless feature as can get good sprint UNK where live at last can sort my huge library using the new collections feature which allows me to keep my entire library on my kindle and still be able to find what want easily the print is clear and crisp the devise is lighter and the book cover with its built in light provides the perfect protection for my beloved new kindle cannot recommend this new kindle more highly 1 k3 easy on my arthritic hands have painful arthritis in my hands and though loved my k2 the k3 is even better it is so light that can read for hours plus the improved UNK is very easy on my eyes the keypad also seems easier to use and the power on off lights are brighter going to enjoy the longer battery life as like playing the word games also got the leather cover with light and found that to be excellent the light is UNK built into the corner and UNK out for usage the cover remains sleek and not at all heavy or bulky all in all great improvements to an already wonderful product 1 UNK waiting im only writing this review because my kindle was ordered by my brother on august 3rd for my birthday and see that amazon is sending them out as first come first serve basis and its the first day of september and practically whole month has gone UNK they are saying that whoever orders now will get it by september 17th and im like UNK lol curious to see if anyone else is having this issue amazon want my kindle lol 1 simply brilliant jumped on the kindle bandwagon when the price dropped just before this version was released had been on the fence about buying kindle and the price was finally where wanted it when found out about this version pre ordered it immediately the second generation kindle was great device but this is absolutely perfect every UNK found in the previous version has been addressed here right off the bat the screen is incredibly crisp ghosting appears to be eliminated in books and is much less apparent in the browser amazon has UNK the background shade bit and the black appears blacker making the contrast extremely sharp and the blink in between pages has been reduced dramatically seriously the display improvements alone are enough to justify an upgrade was really surprised by how small the new kindle is not that the previous generation was heavy but this is absolutely perfect the UNK back is now tactile rubberized material that UNK the rest of the kindle at least on the graphite 3g model have that feels great and wow it definitely lighter you could definitely keep this UNK in your hand for as long as you wanted to had been concerned about the smaller page buttons and UNK smaller keyboard but both are even better than before the page buttons feel much more natural than the previous generation and are effortless to use the keyboard appears to be the same size but the keys register bit faster than on the previous version also the directional pad is huge improvement over the old pointer stick if had to find one thing wrong with the new layout its that the back button is easy to mistakenly press if you re UNK the down button on the directional pad wireless connectivity was decent as expected the new kindle seems to grab 3g signal faster than my old one did and it quickly found my wireless network one thing that probably UNK to be love it or hate it thing about connectivity is that the kindle doesn UNK tell you when it finds wireless access point to connect to personally think that having it not UNK me when it finds 20 private networks at the coffee shop is excellent an often overlooked feature that the kindle packs in is the included web browser which is definitely decent without UNK UNK war over wireless UNK for what you re most likely to use the kindle browser for the speed is quite good pages render quickly and as you would expect them to on most current browsers navigation takes little getting used to but is intuitive and logical admittedly the kindle software is UNK and you might be wondering why would buy one happen to use the mac and android versions of the kindle software and they re good but there something about reading on the kindle that simply isn UNK on other devices that are kindle capable there just nothing out there that comes close enough to the experience of having kindle with decent sized screen that is nearly glare free backlight fatigue free and isn constantly UNK or UNK you to be distracted by other things 1 love love love love it got my kindle wi fi today after losing my dx at UNK airport it light pages turning is faster the contrast is great it truly looks like print awesome in the sun and amazon kindle cover with the light is great with it you will all love your new kindles now can catch up on my reading 1 significant upgrade this is an upgrade from my kindle amazon has significantly upgraded the kindle and it is definitely an improvement over the last generation which was already very good reader the contrast in the new kindle is simply amazing and like the new text options in some books it is very lightweight and the case which costs an extra 59 is very nice especially the built in light and because never used the 3g wireless that much because it was battery UNK love the fact that mine is wi fi only although you can purchase 3g wifi version as well although the new five directional navigation system is huge improvement over the joystick button of the k2 it placement will take some getting used to and for cool 139 bucks you can get the best reader made great job amazon 1 first UNK great but not perfect just received my kindle wifi 3g early this afternoon ve previously owned kindle international sony prs 300 and sony prs 600 after about hours here are some observations and first impressions nice no slip UNK on the body of the kindle like wait where the power slider oh that right they moved everything to the bottom ve read enough reviews that should have remembered that nice screen definite cut above my prs 300 or the UNK that sold last week webkit browser is great lots faster than the k2 especially over wifi and renders pages nicely article mode is really cool too however in the browser navigating pages with lots of graphics the screen does not clear itself as well as it should before displaying the next page almost every time turn page on the browser there UNK image of the previous page still there and strong enough to be distracting don remember this from the k2 browser seemed like it properly UNK the previous image before displaying the new one simple fix is to hit alt to force re draw on the screen connected to my wpa2 UNK network just fine but after doing that the first time tried to go into the experimental menu to load the browser the system crashed and started rebooting stuck itself on that page for few minutes with no progress moving on the bar then UNK like it power UNK itself and started over and this time booted successfully little UNK if you ask me and had only loaded one book out of my archive on it maybe it was still indexing but wouldn expect it to be so UNK with only one book on there page turns are fine if you re sitting up and holding the kindle but if you re laying UNK and holding the kindle essentially upside down it hard to hold the kindle with your thumb near the page turn button have to hold it UNK the screen instead it makes holding it while laying down more awkward with the k2 could hold it with my thumb right near the page turn button then just kind of rock my thumb to change pages UNK document by highlighting passages and making annotations the kindle crashed on me and rebooted for no apparent reason that two crashes in one day hope this doesn become UNK UNK overall quite pleased with the improvements but don think it perfect by any means hopefully lot of the stuff ghosting UNK can be fixed with UNK update screw the 20 faster page turns if they re not properly UNK the screen they need to slow it back down that my two cents for now after using it for few hours ll update as days and weeks go by with more impressions right now though this is still UNK the best reader on the market 1 new to kindle love it so far had UNK ebook readers for while despite the fact that my husband loves his kindle felt like was UNK books in some way however once the wifi only less expensive version came out my husband was able to talk me into having him get me one for my birthday after tried reading some on his kindle love it the setup on our home wireless network was simple to be be fair we are both in it and was amazed at how quickly the books downloaded seconds per book downloaded about 25 free classics and purchased other books was worried about not being able to lose myself in book as am able to do in paper book but find that am just as UNK reading kindle book love the fact that can organize the books into collections to make them easier to group and find the light weight portability is great and am amazed at the thought of being able to carry up to 3500 books with me the interface seems intuitive and is fairly responsive page turns seem very responsive menus less so don understand why people are trying to compare this to an ipad and why they are disappointed that this cannot do as much this is purely reading device if you want to do other things other than read books documents get another more multi functional device if you want something for reading this seems to be great product 1 great new kindle version this is my second kindle the first being the 2nd generation won review all of the features that other reviewers have described since the features are also available when you read the description of this unit it is interesting what features people like and what they don like one reviewer says they don like the new way controller on the new kindle they liked the old joystick well hated the old joystick found that the old one frequently UNK my intended UNK even though the new one is pretty small haven had problem getting my UNK accepted properly like that the new screen is little larger but the overall unit is smaller and thinner also really appreciate that they put the page forward and page back buttons on both sides of the unit the 2nd gen kindle had page forward on both sides and page back on only the left side that was really awkward for me as usually use the buttons on the right side the placement of the menu home and back buttons on the 3rd gen kindle are great improvement agree with one reviewer who UNK the physical keyboard is waste the 3rd gen kindle moved the number keys off the physical keyboard and onto the on screen symbol menu as difficult as it is to type on the really small keys of the physical keyboard would prefer the entire keyboard was on screen could take or leave touch screen capability which the kindle doesn have rarely use the keyboard would prefer the space for the physical keyboard is UNK for larger display physical keys could be provided for shift alt keyboard display and text size opted for the 3g wifi version instead of the wifi only version rarely use the kindle for web browsing that what notebooks and UNK are for when you re away from desktop it was fun during recent trip to UNK while was reading by the pool UNK ran through the UNK nearby that not seen before quick search on the web told me the UNK was an UNK UNK it was quite handy having that capability using the 3g connection means can get downloads just about anywhere anytime and don have to look for hotspot have wireless access point at my home so it is nice to use the wifi when home but think there is room for improvement of the wifi capability UNK run my wifi to not UNK the ssid there are lot of wifi devices that will not connect to network unless the UNK of the ssid is on even if you manually enter it it has not been problem for me to UNK turn on the ssid UNK connect the device and then turn the UNK setting off however this does not work with the new kindle as soon as turn off the ssid UNK the kindle UNK the connection and it will not UNK when ssid UNK is turned back on the kindle immediately UNK the kindle should be able to remember the ssid of wireless network and connect without having the ssid UNK on this issue with the wifi operation is why rated stars instead of overall the 3rd generation kindle is an improvement and am very happy with my new kindle would recommend to anyone considering new kindle that the extra 50 is well worth it to get the 3g capable version can imagine having kindle with only wifi connection capability update 08 29 2010 ve received couple of comments that the kindle connects to wireless access points with hidden ssid with no problems another reviewer provided some additional steps for getting the kindle to connect to hidden network thanks to smart UNK crazy the procedure is to enter the name of the hidden network but do not enter the password on the first request then UNK go to manual setup select your security UNK such as wpa2 then enter the password once followed this procedure my kindle connects to the network even with the ssid hidden since ve resolved the only problem was having this my new kindle ve changed the rating to stars it is sweet reader 1 my first kindle and it amazing not going to UNK all about all of the details about the this kindle because enough people have just wanted to say that as first time kindle user think it amazing love to read books always have and finally decided to get kindle and let me say that have thoroughly enjoyed it it easy on my eyes and it the screen looks just like paper its incredible as far as the freezing and other problems people are UNK have had no problems with it whatsoever no freezes no glitches it just been wonderful ve only had it few days but if anything does spring up will come let you all know but wow wish would of purchased kindle years ago that is if the kindle one and two are as good as this one again great product and does exactly what it says it does 1 good update for an already great product was very happy to receive my kindle 3g wifi several days ahead of the announced shipping delivery date kudos to amazon for being able to ship the kindles bit early so that us UNK could get our hands on it sooner this is my third kindle ve owned each generation and loved the first two kindles for different reasons don think ll be at all disappointed in this third one in fact it is already my favorite based on few of the updates amazon made to me the major difference between the kindle and kindle is the size of the unit the kindle feels quite bit smaller than the kindle and makes it even more portable love that the screen size didn change but now the whole thing feels more compact it will fit in my purse even better bring my kindle with me everywhere go the text on screen is indeed sharper though don think that kindle users would want to upgrade simply for the resolution there are several new font options but again don think these are reason enough to upgrade setting up the wifi on the 3g wifi version was breeze it immediately recognized the network in my house and selecting it was dead simple the five way controller is much easier to use than the joystick on the kindle found would accidentally hit the joystick on the k2 and the search bar would come up on screen which was jarring haven had that problem at all with the new controller the smaller sleeker kindle is not as heavy as the already light kindle but because purchased the cover with the integrated light the overall weight while am reading is about the same the integrated light cover that UNK battery from the kindle is great it makes reading at night so much more convenient one change don particularly like on the latest kindle is the power button it has been moved from the top of the unit down to the bottom and the button seems much harder to slide now loved the old wake up action on the kindle and it will take me some time to get used to the new method however this change is really my only complaint about the kindle so say overall amazon UNK this one out of the park agree with the official reviews from places like the new york times this kindle is hands down the best reader on the market fellow UNK if you re looking for lighter more compact and more powerful kindle it time to upgrade book lovers if you re on the fence about readers think it time you UNK the kindle UNK 1 nice improvements on the k2 except the color imo am not going to UNK some of the wonderful reviews on the k3 already except to say that it is nice step in the UNK process of the kindle nothing really UNK but some subtle changes which do improve the overall experience believe the reduced weight is not that noticeable but sure will be more so when reading for extended periods of time the reduced size is very welcome though as is the improved ink where think amazon failed slightly and hence the vs stars is with the color choice the black it not graphite which UNK more gray as thought is very dark and provides almost too much contrast with the ink as someone said in forum post books do not have black borders around the pages and now see why it is understandable why they chose black as apple offered the black ipod around the 3rd or 4th generation but trying to UNK on their model as much as amazon has seemed to be doing is getting little old love the kindle and wish amazon great success but be set your own standards rather than copying apple UNK that this review is based on personal preference but aren all user reviews that way ultimately UNK when you are deciding on which kindle to get would recommend the white if you are looking for more book like experience 1 my first kindle this is my first kindle it was truly user friendly had it up running 10 minutes the battery was fully charged 30 minutes could not be any happier with this product 1 well worth the wait had been waiting and waiting to buy kindle but due to the price held out when amazon finally dropped it to 189 was days away from ordering the 2nd generation seems it wasn in the cards for me the day went to purchase one they had sold out and were advertising the 3rd generation kindle UNK pre ordered and waited patiently for it to be released was ecstatic when got home and there it was waiting for me it everything that had hoped for and more having never owned previous version can compare the three what will tell you is that it is very user friendly looks great and is fast it linked up to my home wireless no problem and the 3g isn the UNK but it will definitely get you where you want to go on the internet can say enough for this product and highly recommend it for anyone looking for an reader 1 can put it down this is my first kindle and just love it not sure how this one compares to the others but would UNK recommend it the only problem have is keep wanting to turn the page the colors are very crisp on the page it has great feel to it it very comfortable in your hands tried the experimental web browser out and its pretty slow guess its nice to have if you really need it though 1 short and to the point love my kindle this is the perfect reader and not the perfect multi purpose device for an avid reader having extensive browser camera apps touch screen etc etc just does not appeal big fan of bezos intention to keep the kindle as strictly reading device if you re looking for fantastic reader that straight forward to the point and that has an excellent high contrast ink display than this is the device for you the font can be enlarged which makes it perfect for those with vision problems as well as kindle owner find the new way controller page turn buttons compact size and much better contrast worthy upgrade and investment the great strictly an reader no un needed bells and whistles the perfect size please do not make it any smaller great ink display with great contrast 3g wi fi capability in this model lasts long on single charge turn your wi fi off when not using it fast downloading of books reading materials using whispernet and great sleek design love the new graphite color also like the price of amazon books ve looked at other book sellers barnes and noble sony models and most of the time amazon prices for books are lower than the competitors they also have the largest selection of books of any provider ve seen the could be improved wi fi connection problems it connected at first but then couldn connect to my home network had to go in and change some of my modem settings and reset the kindle few times to get it to work again another problem at least for my area is that at has quite low reception UNK UNK kindle used to use sprint which would get lot higher signal in my area it would be nice if they offered sprint and at model so you could choose depending on your available coverage the page flash could also be made to be not as obvious again not huge deal by any means but if there anything to be improved upon this and the wi fi 3g coverage would probably be it overall very pleased and find it be very near perfect and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in straight forward reader short background note ve also owned the kindle and used the kindle android app prior to the kindle 1 the k3 is close to perfect could almost stop with this one except no wpa enterprise support on wi fi model ll begin this review with the important caveat that ve only had my k3 for day so it possible in week it will UNK leaving UNK marks on my hands and UNK in my eyes that being said UNK UNK aside this thing is amazing the feature that will UNK you first is how small it is especially if you re k2 user the width is perfect for man hands being easily held between the thumb and middle finger this isn necessarily the most comfortable way but it good sign of the size even my wife with woman hands thinks it far easier to hold than the k2 not that the k2 was difficult mind you it has taken some time figuring out how best to hold it since some of the k2 real estate is missing but it definitely nice to have something this small the weight is what ll hit you next or rather it won hit you in fact if you looked away you might wonder if you were actually holding it the k3 gives new definition to the word UNK and is delight to hold for longer reading sessions the k2 is like brick compared to this the screen and or speed are the last of the first impressions from faster boot up to UNK blacks to UNK page turning to faster highlighting the k3 does not disappoint text is sharp and crisp and the screen refresh when turning page is easily 20 faster say twice that the new fonts are an added benefit after these three first impressions other things UNK you at various UNK the new way navigation device is amazing it not as UNK present as the k2 but UNK responsive and far less likely to break off the rubberized back feels nicer than the k2 metal back and isn slick or sticky just the perfect amount of grip the power button is larger and easier to slide though it on the bottom which has UNK in few UNK UNK the keyboard is easier to thumb type on the graphite color only serves to further UNK the text and there back button at the left and right pdf reading is much faster now thought the screen is still the limiting factor the absence of numbers is bit of drawback and disappointed that amazon didn at least UNK in the numbers above the letters overall ve very impressed by the k3 the loss of the row of number buttons is bit of miss but they re far less important than the letters and the smaller size sure you can hold down alt and press the buttons along the top for numbers but it can get annoying when you re counting in to make sure you hit not amazon really got it right this time and at price of 139 can see much reason not to spring for this one happy kindling edit one very important caveat on the wi fi only version it does not handle wpa enterprise as noted in amazon product description for college students this could be deal breaker lucky that my campus has an UNK network but if it didn have no wi fi options aside from home and the random starbucks bit frustrated by this hopefully amazon will address it with future software update wep wpa wpa2 personal networks work fine 1 love the device not the book prices am aware that amazon has had great difficulties with publishing companies over the prices charged for books on kindle but just have to say that the ridiculously UNK prices being UNK upon by publishing companies for books that cost them precisely nothing to print package or ship has really UNK me from my UNK beloved kindle cannot bring myself to pay as much or even more for downloaded books will continue to take advantage of the free and reduced price downloads particularly enjoy being able to download classics for free but will not be purchasing any more new books for my kindle when can wait few weeks and buy them for UNK on the dollar UNK in print form it extremely sad that the UNK of the publishing companies has changed what was and is wonderful and convenient reading device to an UNK luxury item for me anyway 1 definitely worth upgrading ve been happy owner of kindle since launch rarely read paper books any more reading on my kindle is just so much more comfortable and convenient plus spoiled by the free samples and instant delivery ve gotten used to being able to read what want when want where want my old kindle still works perfectly well but the new one is worth upgrading the pearl screen is UNK ve rarely seen page in paper book that was that perfect that alone is enough for me especially given the new low price it also smaller lighter and faster dictionary lookup and search are breeze they weren bad before but they re so fast now the ability to quickly look things up without breaking the UNK of my reading truly UNK my reading experience wikipedia and web searches are even faster with the wifi glad also have 3g for when out but glad can take advantage of the fast UNK have at home plus you can send your personal docs using your name free kindle com email account and receive them over the wifi for no charge 1 when 3g wireless is not available my wife bought kindle in january 2010 we are located in an area where cell phones and 3g wireless are UNK by UNK in order to download books to my wife kindle had to download to my computer with transfer to the her kindle on august 27 at 10 UNK as promised by amazon ups delivered my kindle with wi fi was able to download UNK page book in less than 10 seconds amazon has gotten it right and agree with all the other star reviews what wonderful way to buy and read books 1 the page turner quick UNK amazon new in august 2010 kindle is probably the best there is where it UNK which is crisp high contrast hi UNK quick refresh electronic paper display UNK inside an elegant light weight body with ergonomically placed page turning buttons as with previous versions the keyboard and navigation are not kindle strong features while the kindle likes its own proprietary drm ed file format amazon will convert plain text and few other format files including word if you email the files to special address and on wi fi only kindle the conversion is always free the kindle can UNK pdf documents but depending on the pdf reading them may be difficult on the kindle small screen most of the time you may struggle with too small characters or if you enlarge them then you need to scroll up down and right left which is not easy mobi files are recognized and can be read without translation additional features include the ability to play mp3 formatted files as well as audible this should allow you to play background music while reading kindle will also read aloud public domain documents and UNK material that allows it will discuss the above and number of other bells and whistles below UNK it probably worth UNK and UNK what you get for your money in terms of device and service will begin with what view as core features and will then discuss the other features after that good core features beautiful readable display it comes as close to real paper as ve seen in any ereader so far the background is still couple of shades off paper white but the characters are dark enough for good contrast that makes reading easy under normal light sunlight or UNK light long life on charge haven had my kindle on for weeks yet but will update this review with how many days my kindle survived on its first full charge UNK it my kindle 9th day running on it first charge turned of wi fi on third day but head the kindle power the reading lamp attached to its cover for couple of hours while reading at night no 3g wi fi only view this as feature rather than UNK books should not be impulse buys wi fi and no 3g means that more likely than not will be at home at the time buying something and won be under pressure to get something now not to mention the much better price for the wi fi model light weight as an occasional laptop reader in bed appreciate this kindle lightness decent storage for as long as you don upload lots of music or audio books my kindle has gb of free storage not lot but decent the 3000 book estimated capacity is probably accurate for as long as you don upload pictures music or audio books relatively good integration with my computers had no problems whatsoever managing files on my kindle with vista and windows computers the document conversion feature service could be improved but supposed amazon would rather have us buy things from them then convert public domain books for us for free ability to copy public domain books directly into kindle or get the there with amazon help mobi files are recognized instantly for the rest amazon will convert word UNK and text files and there are UNK online that work not so good core features UNK close to non UNK this kindle is near 100 closed device can replace the battery can add memory cards it not big deal really for as long as the battery lasts for few years the keyboard could be lot better my blackberry keyboard is much easier to use while less than half the kindle size the way control and the other control keys are UNK way too close to each other the menu system and the ability to organize your content is only so so nothing specific at this time but have the feeling that lot could be improved on the other hand the kindle feature use the most is the page turning everything else is secondary in UNK good nice to have features kindle text to speech is probably the best there is at this time the options are male female voices and speeds not sure ll be using this lot in fact days later must admit that only used it once when turned it on to see how it sounds popular highlights if you don turn it off you can see how many readers highlighted specific paragraphs for as long as your wi fi is on place this under good because it good to know that someone is watching you while you re reading so it was good incentive for me to turn off the wi fi not so good extra features annotations it the keyboard and the way controller that makes them difficult there lot of room for improvement here pdf rendering is just terrible this model tiny screen would make just about any pdf unreadable if UNK to fit the screen and an even bigger pain if the page is enlarged to become readable turning kindle display into sliding window that shows fraction of the page at any given time blogs while maybe it makes some sense to pay for blog on 3g model it makes less sense on wi fi only kindle because it likely that you have computer near you that could get your blog content for free audio books can be much better handled through other devices UNK is as lot of storage for text but you quickly run out of it if you do any significant audio or video remember the kindle does not allow for storage UNK features really don care about the browser electronic paper doesn support UNK and can display color and why bother the so called social networking feature you should be able to post UNK thoughts or UNK UNK on twitter and you can let your facebook friends know what you ve been reading lately but suppose can do without these voice guide kindle will say whatever menu options may be available at any given time felt UNK to turn it off after about 30 seconds it was annoying my overall rating this kindle excels as reader the display quality is tops and while reading it comes close to mr bezos dream of kindle as near UNK interface between the writer and reader with the ability to disappear allowing for near immediate reading experience besides the terrible keyboard and the other controls in the keyboard area most other badly implemented features are really those that don care about or don consider essential their existence does not bother me much this kindle UNK its stars like it and it comes as close to perfection as any reader has come so far am happy kindle user so far but will be looking for better future models UNK your UNK it the law lt lt 1 great successful purchase just UNK the new 3g wi fi graphite kindle right out of the box was able to read and hear text to speech while charging the battery the ink is incredible and the feel and weight are just right recommend this reader to all and can wait to do my first download after researching all the readers out there took over months with the new screen the cost right in line this was the best purchase made in real long time 1 incredible improvements ve found the newest version of the kindle to be UNK improved compared to kindle2 the contrast is very much improved and much easier to read faster page turns quieter page turns UNK smaller and lighter wi fi chose graphite simply to help UNK the change between the kindle2 and kindle3 the first two were white and were both good UNK but the newest is an impressive piece of technology unlike the first two and like to UNK from the white standard also hope to see change in the pricing UNK of kindle books amazon UNK that kindle is UNK sales UNK at amazon so hope the need to make so much on each book sale will UNK 1 my first kindle rocks held off buying kindle until now and finally decided to get one when they announced the third generation kindle just got mine today and am very impressed with the new device it is sleek well designed and more importantly has beautiful ink screen was initially worried about the transition from book to kindle but after reading for about 15 mins was UNK in the wonderful reading experience the speed of book downloads is also very impressive amazon scores real winner here with the kindle and is hands down the best ebook reader in the market go kindle 1 it came early awesome reader this is my first reader and have no complaints none love this thing it works like charm the ink is easy on my eyes the battery life is amazing if you re holding out because you don think it will be as good as people say it is then stop holding out and get it at 140 for the wifi only version you almost can go wrong update ve now had the kindle for few days and still have no complaints the pages turn quickly downloads are speedy everything works as promised ve played with nook at barnes and noble and from what ve seen it doesn hold candle to this newest kindle it slow and clunky and sure the color touchscreen just UNK your battery life the buttons on the kindle have good action and are easy to press and well placed the only complaint can come up with is that when typing on it the bottom row of letters is off from where it usually is because they re UNK in straight UNK unlike normal keyboard so keep UNK when use the bottom row of keys otherwise typing is great if find any problems ll update this review again but amazon has made fantastic product that definitely recommend 1 kindle vs nook updated 2011 when wrote this review last august there was only one nook which is now called nook first edition it continues to be available but there are two new nooks the nook color was introduced last fall it basically tablet computer and runs the android software that is popular on many smartphones nowadays it twice as heavy and costs twice as much as kindle but compared to other tablet computers it is very good value and now early june 2011 new ink based nook is coming out it called the nook simple touch it is just now starting to ship so obviously don have one and can tell you anything about it that you can learn by reading online reviews but the reviews are very UNK so if you re considering kindle you should take look at the new nook simple touch too but the kindle is nonetheless still compelling option it mature product very well designed and easy to use performance is very zippy it UNK priced and no ink based reader has better more readable display than the kindle not even the new nook simple touch also the kindle UNK is quite extensive the kindle store is great and has many thousands of free books as well as good deals on most other books and once purchased you can read your kindle books on nearly any device you own computer phone tablet not just your kindle and there are tons of great cases and other accessories for the kindle so while my review compares the kindle to the older nook ll leave it here because it has ton of information about the kindle great reader that deserves your attention and because the original nook continues to be available that said urge you to not buy the original nook it was UNK reader when it came out in 2009 and still had some value when wrote about it in august 2010 but it is clearly inferior by today standards my original review if you re trying to choose between nook and kindle perhaps can help my wife and have owned nook the original one kindle and kindle dx when amazon announced the kindle this summer we pre ordered two kindle the wi fi only model in graphite and the wi fi 3g model in white they arrived in late august and we have used them very regularly since then for us kindle is better than nook but nook is good device with its own advantages that will discuss below ll end this review with few words about the nook color first reasons why we prefer the kindle speed in our experience the kindle is very zippy compared to the nook page refresh speed the time it takes new page to appear after you push the page turn button was way quicker on kindle than on nook and it quicker yet on kindle yet read whole book on the nook and didn find the slower page refresh to be annoying you get used to it and it not problem for me the more important speed difference concerns navigation moving the cursor around the screen for example to pick book from your library or to jump to chapter by selecting it in the table of contents on kindle you do this by pushing way UNK button and the cursor UNK very quickly on nook you do this by UNK the color lcd touchscreen which normally UNK off when not in use to UNK battery virtual UNK button appears on the screen and you touch it to move the cursor unfortunately the nook cursor UNK very UNK this might not be big deal to you but it really got annoying to me especially since my wife kindle was so quick and responsive in november 2010 nook got software upgrade that increases page refresh speed and makes navigation more responsive returned my nook months ago so cannot tell you if the nook performance is now equal to the kindle but nook owners in the comments section have convinced me that the software update improves the experience of using the nook if performance is big factor in your decision visit best buy and compare kindle and nook side by side screen contrast you ve seen amazon claims that the kindle ink has 50 better contrast than kindle or other ink devices have no way of precisely UNK the improvement in contrast but can tell you that the kindle display definitely has more contrast than kindle or nook the difference is noticeable and important more screen contrast means less eyestrain when reading in poorly lit rooms in well lit rooms the nook and kindle have enough contrast to allow for comfortable reading but often read in low light conditions like in bed at night or in poorly lit room in these situations reading on nook or kindle was bit uncomfortable and often gave me mild headache when got the kindle the extra contrast was immediately noticeable and made it more comfortable to read under less than ideal lighting conditions if you go with nook just make sure you have good reading lamp nearby battery life the nook color lcd touch screen drains its battery quickly could never get more than days out of charge the kindle had longer battery life than the nook and kindle has even longer life in the months since we received our kindle we typically get weeks of battery life between charges we keep wireless off about half the time to save battery power weight nook weighs about ounces more than the new kindle and you can really feel the difference without case nook is still light enough to hold in one hand for long reading sessions without fatigue but in case nook is heavy UNK the new kindle is so light even in case we find it comfortable holding in one hand for long reading sessions reasons some people might prefer the nook in store experience if you need help with your nook you can take it to any barnes and noble and get real human to help you can take your nook into the coffee shop section of your local store and read any book for free for up to one hour per day when you take your nook to some in store special deals and the occasional free book pop up on your screen user replaceable battery UNK batteries eventually lose their ability to hold charge nook battery is user replaceable and relatively inexpensive to replace kindle battery amazon wants you to ship your kindle to amazon and they will ship you back different kindle than the one you sent it the same model for example if you send white kindle you get white kindle back but you get refurbished one not the exact one you sent them don like this at all however several people have posted comments here that have UNK my concerns someone looked up UNK on the kindle battery and did some simple UNK to show that it should last for or more years before that happens will surely have upgraded to newer kindle model by then also someone found some companies that sell kindle batteries at reasonable cost and have how to videos that UNK how we can replace the battery UNK doing this would UNK the kindle warranty but the battery will probably not fail until long after the warranty UNK update june 2011 the batteries in the nook color and nook simple touch are not replaceable but the battery in the original nook is epub nook uses the epub format widely used open format amazon uses proprietary ebook format many libraries will lend ebooks in the epub format which works with nook but not kindle however free and UNK program called calibre allows you to UNK ebooks from one format to another it supports many formats including epub and kindle the only catch is that it doesn work with copy protected ebooks so you can for example buy kindle book which is copy protected and UNK it to epub so you can read it on nook nook color lcd touchscreen the original nook has small color lcd screen on the bottom for navigation this could be pro or con depending on your preferences it makes the nook UNK and less UNK than kindle some people enjoy using the color lcd to view their library or navigate did at first but after two weeks of use and comparisons with my wife kindle found the dedicated buttons of the kindle easier and far quicker to use than the nook color touchscreen also found the bright light from the color screen distracting when was trying to read book or newspaper though when not in use it UNK off after minute or so to UNK battery UNK capacity nook comes with UNK of internal memory if you need more capacity you can insert UNK card to add up to UNK more memory kindle comes with 4gb of internal memory twice as much as nook but there no way to expand that kindle doesn accept memory cards of any type if you mainly use your device to read ebooks and newspapers this shouldn be an issue have over 100 books on my kindle and ve used only tiny fraction of the memory once kindle memory fills up just delete books you don need immediate access to you can always UNK them later in seconds for free few other notes kindle and nook have other features such as an mp3 player and web browser but UNK you to have low expectations for these features the mp3 player on the kindle is like the first generation ipod shuffle you can see what song is playing and you can navigate to other songs on your device don like the browser on either device ink is just not good technology for surfing the web it slower and UNK than lcd screen technology so even the browser on an android phone or ipod touch is more enjoyable to use however some UNK have more UNK UNK of either device browser and you might too ebook lending if you have nook or kindle you can lend an ebook you purchased to someone else with the same device for up to two weeks the nook has always had this feature the kindle just got this feature as of december 2010 most but not all purchased ebooks are UNK due to publisher restrictions pdf support kindle and nook both handle pdf files but in different ways when you put pdf file on your nook nook UNK it into an ebook like file then you can adjust the font size and the text and UNK will adjust just like with any ebook but you cannot see the original pdf file in the native format in which it was created kindle and kindle dx have native support for pdf files you can see pdf files just as they would appear on your computer you can also convert pdf files to an ebook like format and then kindle handles them just the way the nook handles them text and UNK adjust when you change the font size unfortunately some symbols UNK and graphics get lost or UNK in the translation even when viewing pdf files in their native format on the kindle moreover the small screen size of the kindle and the nook is not great for pdf files most of which are designed for larger page size you can zoom and pan but this is cumbersome and tiresome thanks to UNK who suggested viewing pdf files in landscape mode on the kindle don know if you can do this on nook this way you can see the entire top half of the page without panning and then scroll down to the bottom half this works little better summary nook and kindle each offer their own advantages we like the nook user replaceable battery compatibility with epub format and in store experience but we strongly prefer kindle because its performance is UNK its higher contrast screen is easier to read and it smaller and lighter so it is more portable and more comfortable to hold in one hand for long reading sessions nook color everything wrote about the nook in this review UNK to the original nook which continues to be available not the new nook color to me the nook color is in different product category than the kindle or original nook nook color has an lcd screen like an ipad or most computer UNK that big disadvantage for people like me who get headaches from reading computer screen for long periods of time amazon kindle product page has an UNK section on ink vs lcd displays but many people don have problems reading from computer screens and the nook color is getting glowing reviews in the press and by owners for the money it offers lot of functionality such as good web browser and the ability to play games and watch movies but keep in mind it costs lot more than the kindle it weighs nearly twice as much it doesn come in 3g version and unlike the original nook the nook color doesn have user replaceable battery 1 this is amazing was one of the lucky ones to get pre order in for the new kindle shortly after it was announced at the end of july they said it would ship about end of august UNK an email on tuesday saying it had shipped and would arrive today and it did amazing what magical device it design is elegant the screen is amazingly readable in both bright sunlight and dim light try that with an lcd display the wifi connection came up effortlessly and my archived items from my mac appeared within minutes on the kindle not being previous kindle owner it took bit of time to navigate the features but was mostly intuitive within short time was reading UNK of the earth on my kindle very readable it is UNK and easy to hold have to get used to not clicking the page forward and back switches though looking forward to receiving the lighted leather cover UNK amazon 1 it the UNK UNK on your UNK in my previous kindle 2nd generation review called it the UNK UNK on my UNK and the UNK UNK on top of my UNK can beat that or can you UNK my favorite cold UNK is the UNK kind if you are very lucky the UNK will UNK little extra UNK on top of the UNK UNK yeah the 3rd generation is kind of like that UNK when you see it you cannot believe your luck and you cannot decide if you should dive right in or take your time and UNK it amazon has UNK themselves with the new generation wow wow wow opted for the wifi only version because rarely without hotspot and don need to use the browser on the go or download book in moving car or anything think you can read the description for yourself so ll UNK on the differences but overall reading on kindle is like nothing you imagine it will be always said that would never get one wanted to keep my paper books and couldn believe someone would want to read on that computer thing now one of the biggest UNK of the kindle this thing gave my mother back the ability to read all books again her eyesight is not what it used to be and you can adjust the font from tiny to very large this is also great for me when read in bed don have to wear my glasses it also allowed me to clean up some of the stuff in my house used to UNK books still do but they all fit in one little UNK kindle now and not on the shelf under the bed in UNK etc etc but again the differences as see em changes from the k2 to the k3 include compared with the k2 it feel so tiny and light the difference is actually small but it feels so small and light in the hand that had to lay them side by side to satisfy myself that didn get some super UNK new tiny kindle hey it possible that good old jeff bezos wanted me to have the UNK here folks the next thing noticed is that couldn figure out how to turn the darn thing on they moved the slider to the bottom okay not loving that it feels more awkward but going with the UNK that won notice after few days also at the bottom the charger light is brighter small change thought the text was super crisp on my previous kindle UNK wow this is so much darker actually shocked at the difference it really very significant was UNK and UNK over upgrading but this alone makes it work the price of the upgrade seen photos online but you simply cannot understand until you see it it huge difference did mention you can choose between fonts yeah baby gone is the home button the right side of the kindle finally cannot tell you how many times after 18 months of use still wanted to use that button to go to the previous page UNK UNK to my button UNK UNK it is replaced with slimmer next and previous buttons that are just arrows still getting used to this as used to pushing slightly UNK to change the page but after several pages adapted pretty well gone is the joystick should say that didn hate the joystick always thought it was fine little UNK but just fine what they have given us now is little four way pad with the select in the middle thought this would be little difficult to navigate but UNK have yet to have it go where didn want it to go fabulous along with that the menu back and home keys are now UNK around the little pad all very well laid out it is bit of an adjustment but just taking the time to get my books settled back in was enough for me to get used to it and don even notice it the keyboard UNK there has been little bit of UNK in the kindle community about this some people are pretty UNK that the number keys are gone me don care you just press the sym key now to get to them don use the keyboard very often and the numbers even less often so perhaps that why don care it also leaves little space between the screen and the keyboard for me to put little label about what to do if it lost but that my own reasons don see anything wrong with them being gone myself but the keys are great pressing them is much easier than on the k2 oh you aren going to be typing 50 words per minute or even 20 but it much more pleasurable experience the back is little more grippy now not like rubberized or anything but it not slick gone is the shiny back almost missed this because always read my kindle in cover case so don really have an opinion guess it good if you read your kindle naked which makes me quite uncomfortable overall this is great upgrade knew like it but honestly didn think be this impressed by it seriously get one so worth it 1 3rd generation kindle having had all generations of kindle this is without doubt the best adding the lighted cover just made it even better having the on off switch on the bottom really works 1 exceeds all expectations wow amazon hit home run with the latest generation of kindle the build quality is excellent the device is intuitive and very easy to use the screen is outstanding kudos to the kindle engineers job well done 1 more than just best of UNK this is by far the best ereader on the market the bad it doesn do epub and it doesn connect to the library this seems like deal breaker until you try to borrow book from the library have one on hold now to read on either the nook or the sony that should be available in UNK weeks ll probably give up and just buy it anyway the good the speed the page turns are as fast as the average person can turn print page you won see that opening book message the nook displays when you tell it to open book it opens in less than second keep hitting the page turn key just to UNK at how fast it is ve never seen an ereader this fast this is perfect store access let me run you through buying book for the various devices for the kindle if you re on the amazon site you select your book click buy now pick up the device and start reading for the nook you buy the book then you turn on the touch screen that keeps turning itself off you go into the home screen go to my library select update content and wait few minutes there is no UNK to automatically push content to the device for the sony using the daily edition which has 3g you use the custom software no way to buy from website buy the book then either transfer it via usb or go to the device to the store log into your account you need to provide your login information each time you go to the store find the book you bought and click download then wait for buying from the device kindle is easy and fast nook is decent and sony is UNK slow the screen there is no glare even with the book light on it the UNK and easiest to read screen out there it beautiful audible integration download your books via wifi or transfer via usb and listen with your device either through headphones or the speakers how cool is that now if only there were card reader to store those larger files collections have the kindle so was first introduced to collections via sony it great to be able to organize so much content here you can organize ebooks and audiobooks into collections together that one thing kindle and sony both have over nook they treat content the same nook is the only one that doesn let you annotate or bookmark newspapers and magazines and who wouldn want to mark an article to refer back to later ease of use handed my kindle to woman who was too UNK of technology to turn on her own laptop her husband had to do it for her wanted to show her passage in the UNK of UNK and had the passage on the screen didn UNK her moments later she turned the page and just kept reading all the way the end then she looked at what else had on the device an ereader should be as easy and intuitive to use as print book and most of us figured those out when we were about 10 months old kindle fits that bill social networking post passages and comments on them to twitter and facebook you can see what passages other readers have highlighted this is particularly great for online book clubs more language sets kind of hoping amazon will sell japanese language books in the us kindle store or let us buy from amazon co UNK could go on and on but what it comes down to is when it comes down to the core features of an ereader buying reading UNK and searching book kindle beats the competition hands down when it comes to extra bells and whistles organization UNK to others web access text to speech kindle beats the competition hands down there is no other viable choice any more kindle is just too much better than every other device out there 1 kindle beautiful crisp and improved and ipad UNK last update on UNK 15 2010 at the end just received the kindle today august 27th along with the lighted black leather cover first impressions fantastic the three big things was looking for already have kindle in this edition more contrast silent keys for next UNK page wifi the contrast is noticeably more the text looks blacker and sharper the next UNK page keys are noticeably quieter though not completely silent wifi connected right away after input my home security setting it was as simple as entering the hidden network UNK of my network and just entering my UNK security password did not even have to UNK what type of UNK was using it quickly synced up my previous purchases more observations later as play with it more oh yeah the light in the book case seems to be pretty good the light covers the whole screen but it is still day light here in the UNK us so will have to check it out tonight update august 29 ve been using the k3 for the past two days so far love it the page turns are quick the contrast is marked improvement one disappointment the UNK next page keys are not as quiet as hoped them to be this is usually not problem most of the time but there are times read the kindle on my bed when my wife is asleep when everything is silent around you the UNK next buttons are very clearly audible and it could wake up your sleeping partner not sure if there is UNK solution with mechanical switches other than having touch sensitive screen area for page turns update december 15 2010 it been close to four months now and my kindle3 experience continues to be very very satisfactory also have an ipad for the past couple of months but for reading books kindle is the UNK leader ipad is great for many things browsing playing games UNK stuff UNK even reading magazines and specialized newspaper apps such as nytimes and wsj but for reading books and novels kindle beats it hands down the ipad has the lcd glare the kindle does not just like book the ipad is much heavier than the kindle ipad battery also runs out in about hours while the kindle lasts for weeks so as very satisfied owner of both the ipad and the kindle continue to recommend kindle for reading books 1 fantastic the new kindle is in class of it own loved my kindle but this is so much better in every way if you already own kindle you should have no trouble navigating the new one very user friendly much better contrast most importantly for me can finally download books directly to kindle using the new wi fi in my area downloading with 3g is near to impossible so having wi fi is major convenience would give this 10 stars if could buy one for yourself you will be glad you did 1 kindle nice improvement received my kindle today own an original kindle kindle and an ipad the kindle was nice device for the first release the kindle was great improvement the kindle appears to be big step up it is much faster in page turning navigating etc than the kindle the screen and print readability is even better than the kindle it is much clearer and or crisper on the same font size the device is noticeably smaller also bought the cover with the built in light and so far this seems to have solved the dark room issue for me btw very rarely use the ipad for reading books the screen is just too bright and get eye strain pretty quickly ordered the kindle the day it was released it shipped on 26 as promised and arrived today 30 1 extremely impressed with my first kindle when the kindle first came out it was priced out of range for what UNK to an impulse purchase plus it shift to get used to not having proper paper book in your hands with the smell and feel of it this is the first kindle looked at and looked at the price and said that must have it when ordered it got an email from amazon letting me know that it was ready to go literally out of the box and that the kindle was tied into my amazon id awesome the device itself feels great to the touch it feels sturdy despite it being so thin and looks like it can take some abuse but hopefully the case bought will protect it the screen itself is really sharp and blown away by it having played with earlier kindles thought that was pretty slick itself with the older kindle models didn experience really any eye fatigue with the kindle feel like could read until the battery ran out and the battery if get even half of what UNK in the specs ll be pleased the benefit of having 3g and wifi is that live in cellular UNK so able to download books via wifi as well as 3g books came across pretty quickly downloaded lot of the free books that should have read while was in college also having the 3g allows me to download and more importantly sync my books while out also have the kindle software on my blackberry so can read 100 pages on my kindle and read page or while stuck waiting somewhere one of the best parts of having kindle is being able to sample book before buying it if you re like me sometimes afraid to UNK out and try new authors because ve purchased highly talked about book only to realize that dislike the UNK and everything about it and now essentially feel like wasted my money now can do that without worry so can try new author or genre and if don like it after the first chapter then no big loss if anything now that have that ability ll probably be buying more books web browsing is nice it listed as experimental which is bit weird because part of the features list for the kindle is that you can surf the web it not the same experience as computer naturally but it works and figure can read the news while out pdf reading worked well for me big fan of archive UNK and downloading the pdfs of books the UNK classics for example that are in the public domain had no problem copying them from my computer to my kindle the kindle itself has 4gb of storage so it says it can hold around 3500 books the 50 volume set of the UNK classics in pdf form is around UNK so take the 3500 book limit with UNK of UNK especially if you re copying pdfs to the kindle you can also store some mp3s on the kindle the playback is nice but honestly it an reader not an ipad overall really happy bought this it will make me read more since know can try before buy and do it on the go now just feel like have to catch up on all the books should have read in the past 1 excellent ereader stars the latest generation kindle wifi model is UNK the speed and contrast are both excellent the form factor is wonderful but feels almost too small in my hand big guy though so UNK it that noticed that the wifi is little UNK but have feeling it has to do more with the UNK and the firmware but for the most part it works great far faster than the 3g service of the k1 having been with the kindle since the first generation the improvements are very welcome can imagine why anyone would want to use the device as web browser or an application game system but to each their own personally ll be using it for what it was intended reading books own both the nook and the k3 wifi and don see the k3 replacing my nook but being welcome edition to my UNK collection ve noticed that and amazon have different prices on occasion and some of the books are cheaper on one or the other so ll keep both bottom line it great ereader and highly suggest it to anyone that being said if you own k2 not sure it necessary upgrade as do miss the little silver led tracking bar from the k1 it was just fun to watch 1 excellent kindle resisted buying kindle for years but they finally got me with the new cheaper price must say hooked it is an excellent device it is so sleek and light it handles UNK characters just fine don plan on giving up all paper books but can see myself reading more and more on the kindle 0 disappointed am very disappointed with this item after just few months the screen stopped working it displays lines all over it called and explained this to amazon and they have agreed to replace it with refurbished kindle their response was yes the screen is little more sensitive than we would like it to be even UNK it too much may do this and it is also very sensitive to hot and cold amazon replaced the kindle very easily and with no problem however am very disappointed that they would not replace it with new kindle so soon after purchase 1 smaller lighter faster brilliant have owned k2 for over year now and have really loved it however when saw the k3 or next generation kindle was coming out and was able to find few images and specs knew wanted it ordered immediately and began the long wait it was well worth it there is absolutely nothing wrong with my k2 it still going strong and has never given me any problems at all but had number of reasons for ordering the k3 graphite yes really wanted something not white think the graphite looks better and cleaner while skins are available found them to be bit distracting so very glad that amazon gave us the choice to order white or graphite size the k2 is actually nice but it seems little big especially in case wanted something smaller and the k3 fits my hand perfectly it like it was designed around my hand that how well it fits previous page button on both UNK found this to be very important because it just feels right and it necessary see there you are in bed all UNK up on UNK UNK holding the kindle in your right hand reading while your left hand UNK in to the bag of UNK ms you re reading along UNK in the story you click the next page button and for whatever reason miss something wait what you say and you have to go back to the previous page to pick up that word you missed but now you have to take your hand out of your bag of UNK to hit the previous page button and it UNK the entire flow and UNK you out of your UNK little UNK for second with the previous page button on the right hand side as well you don have to stop using your left hand to UNK candy down your UNK stop UNK the dog or cat stop UNK your hair you just continue on reading using one hand the kindle needed that button on the right side they put it there could not be happier placement of home menu buttons while may be used to the k2 button placement the k3 home and menu button are where UNK want to press it makes more sense to me to have them by the keyboard this is where the bulk of the function buttons are why have them spread out all over the place all in one little area the way controller am so happy with the new way controller the one on the k2 UNK me out it little UNK and have been very anxious this entire time that going to break it right off this was really noticeable when started building my collections because had to use that controller button lot it took me probably twice as long as others because was very careful touching that controller UNK pushing it to the right or up down the way controller on the k3 works well more responsive to the touch and less UNK it may take some getting used to for some when using it to navigate up or down page as the menu and home buttons are very close to those controls but for me again no problems love it contrast ok read all kinds of things about contrast when first got my k2 luckily never had problem with my contrast it always seemed dark to me and never felt the need for hack or to return mine because it was good or so thought when got the k3 UNK UNK what difference the fonts are so much darker crisper so much easier to read what an absolute pleasure they still have the UNK background and when compare the two the background looks almost the same color on the k3 it just more clear really in fact when put my k2 and my k3 next to each other UNK at how ever thought my k2 had dark fonts it looks faded sun UNK hard to read compared to the k3 when they said better contrast they absolutely meant better contrast the k2 was already easy on my eyes but this contrast is even better for my eyes it hard to tell from photos you really have to see it in person excellent job on this part beautiful wi fi ordered the 3g wi fi because not always going to be home when using my kindle but am so happy that they added wi fi because this entire time ve been mainly using the usb cord to do anything with the kindle ve had to shop on my computer send the book to my kindle hook up the usb cord drag it to my kindle and no it not hard but you know sometimes just don feel like getting out of bed to get the laptop and the cord and set it all up sometimes just want to order the next book in the series without moving oh yes the kindle is UNK me and now having the wi fi don even have to move at all to get another book how UNK is life the set up was UNK easy at first when it scanned for hot spot it didn UNK mine but don take no for an answer so made it look again it found my signal put in the password and now can shop around in the kindle store like everyone else can get on the web browse around and get my books in 60 seconds or less like all the others didn feel had missed out on too much before with my k2 but now that ve been able to do this with the k3 realize have been missing lot of the kindle experience thank you amazon for adding this feature so those were the reasons ordered this unit as far as weight is concerned ll be honest that don really notice much of difference do carry both in case maybe that has something to do with it but seriously they feel just about the same also don mind the number keys not being on the keyboard never really used them anyway and it matter of hitting the sym symbol key to get the number menu guess if you like to jump around to different locations it might get old but have discovered there are ways to get around that find out which letters associate with those number keys and you don have to use the symbol menu but again for me not big deal the previous next page buttons are little different but once again these work perfectly for me because as was reading on the k3 noticed that hit those keys towards the very edge anyway picked up my k2 just to test and yep that how held the kindle so don have to put any effort in to turning page and they are quiet no more click read read read click read read read click you can hear them and finally page turns put my two kindles next to each other and hit the next page buttons simultaneously and they both turn at pretty much the same speed really don notice much difference there anyway my k2 as said still works and keeping the k2 but this k3 is stunning it is UNK absolutely love it had enough time between ordering and receiving and wondered if maybe would send it back maybe could just keep using the k2 maybe being bit of tech junkie but that would be wrong there is no way would send this thing back it absolutely wonderful love it absolutely love the k3 1 from UNK yes it took me few years to jump on the kindle bandwagon guess the UNK book lover in me waited because love the smell of book the feel of pages switching from one side to another the ability to note and underline points what UNK my purchase the low price for one the ability to carry many books with me in my backpack without shoulder strain plus the fact that this older UNK was UNK reading her kindle on train trip recently took so UNK and after receiving it this morning have to say that am wonderfully pleased with this unit here are some quick UNK it light was amazed at how light the unit is the screen quality is amazing when took it out of the book literally thought the welcome screen was sheet of paper and tried to peel it off only to realize it was the screen already downloaded two books and their quality is UNK it real print not computer looking fonts found this device very intuitive and easy to use the only things don really like are the smaller keyboard for searching in the kindle store my bigger fingers missed couple keys and the black out effect of turning page making it look like flash however assume that will adjust to these quite quickly yes it true within few minutes of taking this device from the box you can read did and think have fallen in love can wait to take it on my next plane trip and avoid my backpack UNK digging into my shoulders from UNK five or six books with me now have kindle 1 best reader on the market this is my UNK kindle keep upgrading and either selling or giving away the old ones each model has always left me saying if only they well they finally got it 100 right this time light sleek and sexy yes geek and the contrast is so good that people showed it to thought they were looking at printed sticker the capacity for storage the design the speakers they got it all totally right am buying one of these for all the readers in my family my ipad is insanely jealous because am spending so much time with my kindle bravo amazon you have raised the bar again thanks 1 new kindle packs real UNK we just received our new kindle yesterday really love the new version the contrast and page turns are both noticeably superior to my old kindle and the smaller form factor is great for reading one handed we also have the amazon case with built in light which is delight can recommend this enough 1 awesome product extremely satisfied with my kindle it looks sleek it light weight and comfortable to hold the contrast is sharp and clear when opened the box actually thought there was piece of paper on the screen that needed to peel off happily sat by the pool reading it in the sun 1 wow this takes everything that made the k2 great and UNK it into an even better product lighter brighter faster and with longer battery life and that just to start the web browser UNK with this kindle is actually quite good found myself browsing around on facebook today UNK and using it just as would smart phone it not as good as an ipad or iphone for web browsing but hey there is huge upside no wireless data plan or cost besides your initial 50 extra for the 3g version am blown away by this thing if could give it more than stars would 1 worth the upgrade best kindle yet ve been kindle user since my kindle 1st gen and upgraded to kindle when that came out pre ordered my kindle 3g wifi and got it yesterday love it totally worth the upgrade if you still thinking for the following reasons improved readability the text look much sharper better contrast especially noticeable in bright outdoors text rendering is also UNK faster one main reason for the upgrade is that read fast and love the improved speed in flipping pages also longer battery life is great my typical use kindle last maybe days wireless off page rendering or page flipping uses up battery and since read fast flip pages more often than slower reader handling kindle feels great in one hand due to smaller size non metal back UNK and finally UNK the page turning on kindle to click UNK again it was UNK in kindle which they took away in kindle this allows me to hold the kindle and read with one hand by flipping pages using my thumb can do that with the UNK click this feels much more natural to me book cover with light kindle cover has the elastic strap to keep the cover closed amazon did away with in kindle and it finally back in kindle also love the led light which works great it lights up the entire screen for reading and UNK UNK back into its slot when not in use wifi quick and easy connection to wifi hotspot makes for quicker downloads in spotty cell connection global access haven had the chance to test this out yet but very excited that ll be able to buy books while travelling overseas size weight love the smaller size fits into more of my smaller UNK kindle without cover is definitely lighter kindle lighted cover and kindle cover feels like they weigh about the same note updated software the new collections options now allows you to organize your books on the kindle into collections makes for much easier searches this software upgrade is pushed to older kindle models also love the new text options that add adjustments to paragraph line spacing between lines as well as size of text pdf files now supported great for work password lock can put password to lock access to kindle great if have pdf of work files stored on it 1 nice device but room for improvement received the wifi only kindle today lots of pro and one potential deal killer cons fortunately the cons could be resolved with software update lets start with the good the kindle showed up in UNK package with all you need in one small box the unit itself is light but does not feel cheap the display is nothing short of outstanding the keyboard is acceptable but only because it takes some getting used to whispernet works as advertised set up to the house wifi was simple and was off to the amazon book store well under five minutes my only gripe unless have not figured it out trying to navigate through large pdf 300 to 600 pages is next to impossible the search feature for pdf is just about unacceptable viewing small pdf will be fine hopefully this is something that firmware update may fix or someone UNK in to tell me what am doing wrong otherwise after day one the wifi only kindle is truly worth the money if you want to use it for pdf you may want to hold off 0 unfortunately disappointment UNK my kindle very exciting to jump on the ebook bandwagon in doing so was able to receive it on 26 unfortunately it was bit of let down first the good news the display is quite readable could easily see myself comfortably switching from paper to an ereader the process for purchasing and syncing books couldn be easier the device is very light weight and small and therefore more comfortable to read than the hardbacks ve been reading for years now the bad news the build quality of the particular kindle received 3rd gen wi fi only was very poor mine actually arrived defective something was UNK around inside the casing my guess is that it was related to the power UNK because the device couldn stay on or continue charging for more than few minutes finally found that if UNK it bit and then UNK laid it down it would charge up of course that didn do much good because any UNK while reading would throw the power off and lock the screen on whatever page was on apart from being defective it just UNK cheap the buttons the casing etc it seems very delicate this device is supposed to be portable and you re going to slowly trust your entire library to it so concerned the ereader price UNK have lead us to hardware that may not be reliable again not sure how it compares to the previous generations finally like to comment on amazon hardware support you have to call in to get anything taken care of with the kindle it not like most orders where you can click few buttons to UNK return label this is likely due to the drm protected content in any case it was not smooth process at first tried to exchange my device UNK amazon has completely sold out of these devices as of 27 meaning that they can even service customers that received defective units until the stock situation changes was told by the individual that it would be at least month before new device would ship out but he couldn give me date despite the fact the web site currently shows more units shipping out 17 no resolution beyond this was reached so ended up returning the kindle and the content had purchased for refund all in all sure this device will work great for many people but my experience has really been poor all around if you re thinking about purchasing your first ereader or upgrading from you current unit it may be worth UNK yourself to see if these problems are more wide spread edit per my response in the comment UNK for this review did actually receive follow up call from cs UNK later on he offered to overnight replacement but this was after had already dropped it in the mail for refund appreciated the UNK but ended up deciding to stick with my lower UNK hardcovers for now 1 wow amazingly light and sleek have owned both the original k1 the k2 and for very short time the new graphite dx this takes the UNK by far went wow when opened the box can wait to get to know the k3 serious readers need to buy this device it is not an ipad like tablet it is meant purely for reading love the ipad and now can share that love with the k3 1 lives up to promises as 3rd generation kindle owner can UNK to the improvement with the latest offering from amazon increases in functionality appearance readability and ease of use and decrease in price have made kindle the reader to beat for potential owners see no practical difference between the wi fi only and the 3g wi fi combo except for convenience you can certainly save the 50 and put toward purchases UNK to stars because amazon did not change the procedure for turning off the device would have liked to see locking switch vice holding the sliding switch for seconds seems UNK but this can get annoying if you want to shut off quickly even if you do not have seconds to spare 1 love my kindle love my kindle the only disadvantage is not being able to let someone else borrow when have read it if buy the book no one cares who reads it or how many times they read it should be able to actually let another kindle user borrow it for say 00 for 30 days or something 1 product improvement in action all of the issues minus the color seems to have been addressed improved layout of the buttons faster and quieter page turns password protection of pdf files improved screen contrast own kindle and ipad for me this is the superior platform for reading the device does disappear as start reading you can change the wide or narrow screen position manually glad it not automatic which could be distraction when reading lying down and UNK positions most of all like the UNK tools to UNK my growing collection big improvement over the kindle and major reason got the new kindle what can amazon improve on would like to see integration with their social website UNK got the new cover with the light and in the rare cases reading without normal lighting the led light does the trick it adds very little weight and it too soon to comment on it effect on battery strength not really and issue with me since keep it on charger at night and never get close to running it down happy UNK 0 kindle loses UNK ability just received my kindle g3 wi fi latest edition charged it up to full charge and was able to wirelessly download books from the archive for my older kindle everything worked fine then shut it off went to bed and got up this morning there was no g3 service and it would not recognize my wireless network at all checked my 3g phones and they all had service all of my wi fi devices were working except for the kindle the UNK links just stopped working completely checked the battery charge it was at full charge took the kindle outside still no reception and could find no customer service contact information on amazon web site so have returned the UNK to amazon what major disappointment 1 the kindle finally UNK for perfection and UNK almost ok let me begin by saying that this is my 2nd kindle ve had kindle for about year and half and loved it there was however few issues that did have with my old one to keep me from being able to give it perfect score kindle wifi has addressed most of these issues to my complete satisfaction my main gripe with was not really fault of the device itself but the area in which live had to drive five minutes down the road to buy book live in UNK filled rural area with spotty cell service so the addition of wifi has been dream come true also with hated the UNK feel of the page buttons they just felt cheap and about to break to me the new side buttons have become one of my favorite new features also like the new UNK button design way better and much more responsive than the little joystick probably my biggest surprise was the vastly improved contrast of the screen had never noticed that the old kindle screen was so dim until placed them side by side another great feature is the improved page load times pages now change quite bit faster than before now on to my gripes about kindle first love the addition of collections but still wish that organizing my books had more options UNK would love to be able to organize my series sets in order of UNK date or to be able to place them in the order in which wanted them to be displayed and have them stay that way next the wifi seems little unstable while was trying to transfer my 80 books to my new kindle it dropped connection at least times did bit of network checking to see if it was my router at UNK but UNK was working fine so maybe wifi may get UNK fix in future software update speaking of UNK it could be bit more user UNK it took me the better part of an hour to send everything over few at time like that it had the option to transfer my collections from one kindle to the other but wish it also transfered the books that were contained in the collections as well instead of having to re organize it all again overall love the new kindle think it UNK the previous versions in every way that can think of my few gripes come off bit UNK even to me so even though ll be the first to admit that it UNK perfect but it still close enough for me to warrant stars if you have never owned kindle before get one now you will not regret it if you own an older model check this one out feel it is large enough leap forward to be viable upgrade at such low price point this could be the device that take reading to whole new level 1 great upgrade purchased kindle wifi to replace UNK my kindle mostly because the price was low enough for the wifi model that could indulge my UNK after weekend with the unit am extremely pleased the kindle is an improvement over the kindle in every way the new pearl eink screen is fantastic and it is amazing how small thin and light the new model is much prefer the new button layout to the and like the new way controller better than the joystick as well the only issue have had is the unit freezing few times usually after downloading large number of books did have one instance where it froze while reading and it rebooted itself after several seconds would also like couple additional sorting options as well as the ability to UNK collections great device and the price for the wifi version is excellent highly recommended if you are frequent reader 1 did they do usability studies with anyone over 40 don generally read things online so was pleasantly surprised to find that enjoy reading books on the new kindle love the fact that the font size is UNK especially when reading under dim light two major complaints the keyboard has tiny light gray lettering on dark gray background so the keyboard is incredibly hard to read perhaps this is better on the white kindle if so may swap also find it very annoying to have to use the symbol display and the cursor positioning UNK to enter numbers and the more common symbols the only other complaint have is minor it would be nice if it mentioned that the password you re supposed to enter when trying to connect to wep enabled network in the wep key although guess it didn take me too long to figure it out think was just resistant to enter all those letters and numbers using the stupid position UNK and then find out that that not what was supposed to enter overall excellent product addendum weeks later ve decided to return it mostly because ve been spoiled by touch screens and having to use buttons to page and scroll around just doesn cut it very hard to take notes and navigate also tend to read lot of books about UNK with color photos etc and these aren going to work on black and white device was initially excited about the possibility of reducing my paper UNK or whatever you want to call it but things like UNK magazine aren available nor are lot of other things that like to read guess be more excited if tended to buy best sellers but tend to pick up lot of things at used book sales or paper back book swap so it actually costing me more to download kindle editions from amazon suppose if wanted to catch up on the classics the kindle would be great 1 love my new kindle this is my third kindle and couldn be more happy with this new generation it is so much smaller the text so much brighter it is faster more streamlined etc my second generation kindle broke dropped on my UNK UNK floor in early july knew the UNK were out there that the new kindle would be released in august so waited oh so patiently UNK actually had to enter book store for the first time in years to buy some hard copy books to UNK me over my mother and some friends say that they don want to give up the feel of book for and reader totally disagree if you read lot average book per week the kindle is the way to go trying to hold hardback or stiff paperback in one hand with not very bright and UNK book light attached actually took lot of enjoyment out of my reading while waiting for my new kindle to come if you love to read you must get kindle 1 simply amazed this has been the best purchase have made in long time received it last week and had to give it few days so that could use it it is fantastic to carry around your reading materials without having all the weight am avid reader and it was hard for me to leave home without something to read lot of the times carried tote bag with at least books and couple of magazines the weight was horrible and my back is not in the best shape my doctor told me it was carrying bag that was too heavy now have my library with me and if decide don like one of the books that am reading am able to just switch to another one without problem so if you are looking at purchasing ereader this is the one to get light weight and holds large amount of books 1 very decent upgrade being an owner of the kindle previously have noticed the differences with the new version and have to say am impressed first of all the text on the screen is lot sharper and definitely clearer so is easier on the eyes when in direct sunlight and in well lit areas personally would have loved backlight as reading in poorly lit setting can still be bit of an eyestrain but it is still little better than before next the size of the device is bit smaller than before and is therefore easier to hold but thankfully the screen is still the same size which am very happy about it is also considerably lighter which is great if you re reading for long period of time or are having to carry it about in your bag the wi fi option to download books and sync with other devices is great as it is little faster than the 3g option which is still pretty speedy speaking of syncing with other devices also read my books of the kindle for iphone and if switching from one device to the other throughout the day the page currently reading is immediately picked up on the other device so never lose my place web browsing isn that great in all UNK especially when using 3g as the speed is quite slow when loading the page and not being in colour means that the images on the page don look their best still for free service can complain the storage space is huge being able to fit 500 books on the one device is more than could possibly read in 10 UNK but it nice to know the storage is there if need it have about 150 kindle books stored on my device and it barely touched it capacity pdf documents do take up little bit more space but there still enough to store lot on here if you need it the battery life is supposed to be incredible never had any complaints with the kindle life lasting about week per hour charge with the wireless off but having only had this day can comment yet but it supposed to last about month per charge having collections is great new addition which is also on the update on the kindle as you can categorize your books however you want them adding them to as many collections as you wish if you have kindle and are moving over to the new one your books purchased on amazon are archived so once you register your kindle to the same account you can transfer them all over to your new one newly released books are still little expensive but hopefully if we speak up action will be took but generally the prices aren too bad all in all am happy upgraded and glad the changes have been made even if they weren too necessary if you ve already got kindle this is definitely the best purchase have made this year and look forward to reading many books on it 1 kindle gift gift for my wife works wonderful she loves it was little difficult to hook up and two days shipping became days 1 well done amazon just received my kindle 3g wifi and couldn be happier the size weight and overall sleek appearance are exceptional the graphite color is quite elegant looking the screen clarity is amazing even in bright sunlight shopped around researching readers for some time before deciding the kindle was for me the 189 price point was perfect for my budget am very pleased with this device even bought the kindle leather cover in hot pink love it too 1 great service and great product really liked the kindle hardly ever restarted on me but the kindle appears to be randomly restarting itself am hoping amazon will release software update to fix it or may have to send it back but the device itself when it does work is pretty good nice improvement over kindle especially when using pdfs gave it one star cause of the random restarts and am hoping more star reviews like this will force amazon to release software update to fix the issue but other then that the device is great the webkit browser is leap years better then the kindle browser update 2010 UNK est UNK from amazon contacted me and was nice enough to overnight me another k3 hopefully it will not have similar problems will post with updates as soon as get it do have to say though great service from amazon changed the stars to from as the device is great when it doesn restart and the service from amazon has been very good update 2010 12 UNK est tried out the replacement k3 and it been solid thanks amazon changing stars to 1 worth far more than the price paid this is my first time even seeing kindle in real life much less holding one and what treat to be able to do this with the 3rd generation kindle pre ordered the device month before amazon shipped the first batch and it was well worth the wait being novice to readers can say my expectations were high or low however own one of the best cell phones available today UNK UNK and one of the best UNK laptops available today UNK so it is fair to say that my expectations for technology in general are fairly high was not disappointed by the kindle to the UNK was in awe at the ink screen which was so UNK and legible it was like holding paperback testing it out in bed last night UNK the device against me while holding it with one hand and expected it to be top or bottom heavy UNK the hand to keep it straight yet it was perfectly UNK and the buttons were easy to manipulate being heavy internet user was little UNK by the back button being on the top of the forward buttons kept hitting the left hand button to find it UNK forward when expected it to go back but that just took some getting used to the device took the charge in no time flat enjoyed reading it while it charged had little trouble getting used to the arrow buttons up down right left select because of their small size and having UNK and also kept expecting the home button to be where the menu button is placed yet know that these are all things that will come more naturally with time downloading content was almost too easy the search feature was robust it was like was surfing online loved being able to download sample content just enough to get you sucked into the book or let you realize that it not for you one thing that confused me is the way that the screen still showed an image even after believed powered it off didn realize that the system sleeping is UNK to being powered off with most technology today sleeping is middle state between the two to my delight though the images are gorgeous the portraits are so stunning you want to show them off the usb charger that comes with the device is designed very well in my opinion it micro usb that has usb on the other end that end then UNK into an ac adapter what liked most about the adapter is unlike most charging devices you can plug it straight into the outlet instead of sideways this is hard to UNK you can plug it in UNK with two other UNK on either side of it which is especially handy in UNK protector UNK will recommend the 3rd generation kindle to friends family coworkers it is just as wonderfully functional as it is beautiful and you really can beat the lower price stars 1 very pleased after waiting long time to buy ve waited to buy kindle or other ereader until the number of positive reviews exceeded the negative and until the price dropped to point where wouldn be UNK if the purchase turned out to be mistake so now have kindle ve been using it for days and am totally pleased only using it to read books not pdf documents or web pages and it working fine with no freezes or other apparent problems the screen flash as it turns its pages faded from my noticing after day actually this flicker UNK any changing area on the screen which includes moving the cursor UNK up menu or zooming picture it does make changing display look somewhat like windows machine UNK with multiple windows and UNK memory this is obviously side effect of the eink technology clearly no UNK currently for displaying video or for that matter flash on the other hand there is something UNK about the grayscale images if could get UNK eink display be tempted to hang it on wall with an UNK UNK slide show running as for design suggestions for the future haven quite settled into single way of holding the unit where can push the page buttons easily understand the need of technical readers to have the book real page numbers displayed somewhere would think the keyboard with its light gray on dark gray UNK impossible for anyone of poor eyesight and actually impossible for anyone in poor light again very pleased would buy new one immediately if this one broke or got lost 1 kindle love love this device had purchased kindle2 for my sister as christmas gift and found myself jealous of it well for my birthday this year she returned the favor and gave me the kindle and it is just fantastic had already been reading kindle books via the android kindle app for few weeks and while that was okay the kindle is UNK better the low glare high contrast screen is actually easier on the eyes than real paper the buttons took little getting used to but that is true of most electronic devices was also surprised to see how good the 3g signal is in most places in my area what especially surprised me is the quality of the experimental webkit web browser was expecting something much more basic perhaps more suitable for viewing mobile sites specifically but was quite impressed for one thing even when using 3g pages load faster than on my android smartphone granted it isn much use for pages that UNK UNK and video but for blogs social networking and UNK browsing of wikipedia it is absolutely perfect it immediately replaced my droid as my on the go web browser and while UNK detail have to admit rather like the graphite color compared to the white of the previous generations look forward to seeing what future generations of the kindle bring 1 incredible device just received my kindle this is an absolutely amazing device had some trouble connecting to the wi fi at my house and had to change my dsl modem profile UNK to UNK UNK instead of UNK UNK it recognized the wi fi and connected after that but the connection is not consistent so will look into purchasing device to boost my dsl signal however not huge problem because my kindle picked up the hot spot at the local mcdonald with no problems at home can connect the kindle to my computer through the usb port and transfer media download books that way amazon provided the usb cable with the kindle there are so many features on this device from highlighting text UNK text UNK notes about passages being able to organize books by creating collections dictionary and text to speech also like amazon kindle for pc recommend everyone download that as very useful tool am literature major in college and will find all of these features and tools UNK the reading experience on the kindle is incredible did forget was holding the device love being able to set the font type and size which makes it easier to read no eye strain subscribe to audible and spend lot of time listening to audiobooks because am always on the go the text to speech feature on the kindle amazed me have not tried an audible book yet on the kindle and look forward to seeing how that works amazon tech support helped me sort out the wi fi connection issue did lot of prior troubleshooting which included pulling up the dsl modem web UNK http modem ip address to UNK the settings and change the UNK before calling them and was able to provide some useful information that UNK amazon tech support in UNK step or two had UNK to perform thank you UNK when you change the UNK and save your settings don forget to reset the dsl modem by UNK it waiting 20 seconds and plugging it back in do the same with the kindle by turning it off wait 20 seconds and turn it back on this will enable the devices to refresh and UNK setting changes also to protect your kindle when plugged into the usb don forget to release the device from the pc usb before UNK the kindle from the pc to do so click on windows start bottom left on vista click on computer right click on the kindle drive icon and click on safely remove it is also important to release the device from the internet connection before shutting it off on the kindle there is an option to forget the connection select that and the connection will drop out you can read the kindle user guide on the kindle and on your pc through kindle for pc it is free download from amazon thank you amazon for this device 1 first ebook reader when decided to look into an ebook reader did some research on the internet looked at reviews from several resources about the most popular ebooks UNK the kindle was UNK first then searched for the best prices and best models for the money and decided on the UNK with wifi didn go for the 3g because it seemed to be primarily for frequent travelers who go out of the country since most likely won be going anywhere outside the us besides possibly mexico decided the added expense of the 3g wasn necessary because of the UNK of the kindles they were out of stock at amazon com for awhile and you had to pre order so since person who UNK to wait for anything have decided want looked on UNK there were numerous sellers who said they had them in stock so did some UNK made up my mind wouldn UNK any higher than could order one from amazon so kept my UNK to maximum of 150 00 after about eight tries on various UNK gave up since they UNK went for over 200 00 don know why all those people would UNK for something they could order directly from the original source but that their business went to amazon and ordered my kindle they estimated shipment on september UNK few days later got notice of shipment by sept 17th which made my happy and few days after that was notified that delivery should be sept 17th that really made me happy anyway just wanted to comment on how happy was with amazon service and really love my new kindle so far it has been everything hoped for read lot and carry book with me about everywhere go the kindle is so light and the perfect size to slip into bag or purse of size and off go definitely recommend cover of some sort for protection tend to drop things and hate UNK my electronics and phones up so cover is essential for me want to thank amazon com for great item and ordering experience 0 beware international buyers the screen is wonderful clear pleasant to read it easy to hold better than an actual book actually but there are still several UNK international customers are UNK not only images for magazines and papers are not sent but most books are more expensive if you are abroad this is not mentioned anywhere when you buy kindle the free 3g is therefore not so free and if you are using only wifi then you re just getting stolen if this UNK did not happen have given stars newspapers are not sent in full content is UNK missing articles why who knows several usability issues for instance there are only few possible zoom levels often none of them are what you actually want typing numbers requires using the arrow keys UNK choice don they realize that we want to type page numbers often getting to the browser isn easy the one click buying is also very easy to UNK by accident though amazon UNK without asking questions page flipping is somewhat slow 1 should have got it earlier am UNK so researched the kindle forever when they came out with the new model jumped on it now can put it down four people work with are getting their own kindle soon 1 initial impressions and comparisons ve had my kindle for about week now and couldn be happier it is the wi fi kindle some comments of others are somewhat negative because of what it doesn do it is not pc for surfing the internet or efficiently handling mail but it will do both in pinch what it does do is provide good media for reading books that is why bought it the only other reader looked at was nook got to handle one and see it work in store bought my kindle based on UNK reviews and recommendations from friends it was the right choice and it is faster than nook as others have said one major comparison that made was to printed book have checked out from the library read the first page in the book and then on the kindle then had my wife do the same when asked her what her impression was it was the same as mine the kindle is easier on the eyes there is more glare from the book this UNK test was made sitting on the couch after UNK the book tested was sample of the book available for free to try before you buy there is one feature really like because it doesn work the way thought it would work it the dictionary used to carry little electronic dictionary with me when traveled come across word while reading that didn know and look it up the little dictionary was better than carrying huge paper one with me when first started with the kindle if found word need help with went to one of the dictionaries to look it up that is unnecessary all had to do was move the cursor to the word was reading and the kindle automatically displayed its information in little window at the bottom or top of the screen did you ever skip over new word while reading because you just didn want to page through dictionary or were too lazy to look it up am sure there are more features but just haven had need to look yet the only difficulty ve had so far was figuring out how to get the wi fi in my dsl modem to talk with kindle the solution was easy called UNK and the UNK told me how to set up the modem it was very simple there are thousands of free books available for all readers but chose kindle there is even project gutenberg with its free books all those old classics you may never have read like adventures of UNK UNK and other works by mark UNK UNK UNK the UNK etc are all free ve only purchased one book so far the one year bible UNK as the same reading program done in my paper version tends to tear pages etc when flipping back and forth the ability to add my own notes and comments just adds to the experience my conclusion is the product is very good for the intended purpose of reading especially for long periods of time with no eye strain the technology has in no way reached its potential it is not frozen in the current state this is the nature of technology if you wait for it to be perfect you ll never UNK if you like it and it fits your needs buy it and read it until the wheels fall off it won be the last device you ever buy 1 awesome awesome product user friendly great tech support if any issues friend of mine had problem with her and it was resolved within minutes after making the call to tech support saving trees saving back from not carrying heavy books saving space in the house by not having to stack books everywhere UNK fast down loads can surf the net and listen to music great purchase 1 kindle is great just got my kindle today and it is great it is so easy to use and can get lot of help by calling the kindle customer service love it and hope it last me for long time 1 benefits of kindle highlights and notes features one of the things really enjoy about kindle is amazon highlights and notes site which syncs up with my kindle makes reviewing and sharing what you ve read very easy wrote blog post this month on how ereaders like the kindle can help you become more effective leader by making it easier to share what you ve learned 1 kindle 3rd gen is worth it the main selling point of the 3rd generation kindle as far as concerned is the improved contrast we re not talking about slight improvement the contrast on the new kindle is significantly greater than in the previous version here are the top improvements for those of you who are considering buying the 3rd gen kindle significantly improved contrast easier to use navigation button more font selections the main strength is worth UNK reading on the 3rd generation kindle is much easier than on the 2nd generation kindle may be wrong about this but as far as know none of the other popular ink readers on the market are using the improved contrast screen for example as far as know the screens used by the nook and the sony reader use the same technology as the 2nd generation kindle as for the drawbacks would not have changed the following since they made the device smaller and therefore much lighter the page forward and back buttons are also much smaller don like them they feel too delicate and often press them accidentally UNK having to UNK the pages on the keyboard the number keys were eliminated no no no now going to specific location is cumbersome process requiring many more keystrokes than before please consider bringing back the number keys some might be asking why do you even need the number keys well ve found that the sync to the furthest page read function which is really convenient if you have multiple devices doesn always work perfectly when this happens you have to use the go to location function which requires you to enter numeric value despite these drawbacks still giving the 3rd gen kindle five stars because for me the consideration is how easy on the eyes is the device with the improved contrast on the 3rd gen kindle not UNK when say that it feels like you are reading printed page that how clear it is some people claimed this to be true of the previous generation kindles but didn agree the technology wasn there yet now the UNK is almost perfect and sometimes am lost in the UNK that reading printed page one last UNK for those of you who are thinking of the ipad as an reader despite the high definition screen on the ipad the sharpness and clarity of the characters on the 3rd gen kindle are much better furthermore on any back lit screen such as on the ipad eye strain is always going to be greater thus if you read lot you will be able to read for greater UNK of time and with much greater comfort on the 3rd gen kindle than on the ipad what about reading in the dark that the only time the ipad might have an advantage however bought the mighty bright light and it provides absolutely superb UNK since getting the light have stopped using my ipad when reading in low light or no light situations now UNK up in bed with my 3rd gen kindle and my mighty bright light and enjoy few pages of UNK UNK before falling asleep 1 kindle love my new kindle was jealous of my wife kindle so when the new one came out at reduced price ordered it at once my kindle is wi fi only and since have wi fi at home it works very well thank you amazon 1 who loves the new kindle do wanted kindle for long time live in UNK so the first kindle was completely unusable for me then came the k2 with global wireless and thought that was the kindle for me unfortunately it was very UNK for my budget after all only student never intended to buy the kindle dx because it was too expensive and too big for my taste then amazon released the k3 at 189 well that was the kindle was waiting for so was one of the first to order one still had to wait UNK because it sold out so fast was eager to receive it and when it came it was perfect love to read and the k3 makes that experience real pleasure not having previous kindle versions cannot know if this one is an improvement or not over the other kindles but for me this one is excellent the contrast is really good and can download books really UNK besides it small thin and very light so can take it anywhere to finish have to say that amazon really make the kindle must own for book lovers stars totally recommended 1 five stars in my world love my new kindle screen clarity color graphite wifi and 3g capability the whole package just love it 1 love it it is awesome as UNK would recommend to all UNK no more carrying multiple books and if you need new book you can have it in minutes 1 it UNK its basic UNK with UNK but better file organization would be nice really love my new kindle for me it has become life changer find that am reading more books one of the reasons purchased this device was to thin my large physical library once the book is on the kindle can then free up shelf space sadly the internal UNK abilities of the kindle lag bit while you can create collections to store your books in you cannot display those collections UNK nor can you create sub folder under any collection however you can list the books by author or title under any collection if the organization side of the kindle were improved this would be star device sure the price of the books is too high in some instances higher or as high as the paperback version and UNK the digital rights business is real pain it would be nice to share books but overall am extremely pleased with the kindle 1 excellent UNK service had my kindle for 18 months when dropped and broke it immediately called support and was given some technical advise on how to attempt to UNK it when that failed was advised could get replacement for less the 90 00 must return the damaged one within 30 days accepted that in less than 24 hours had the replacement and was able to upload all my archived items immediately credit to kindle support UNK and great UNK replacement policy for out of warranty kindle 1 cool device kindle really is great piece of technology am using it to read both novels and technical literature and am comfortable reading both types of literature on the kindle device to me it seems good replacement for most kinds of printed books found it especially useful to easily look up words in the dictionary or to follow internet links with single click furthermore it is almost unbelievable how fast books are uploaded to kindle regardless whether 3g or wifi is used am pretty sure that in the future will prefer electronic books to paper books there are however two things that should be improved first the included usb cable has very UNK smell of UNK UNK really doubt that it would be legal to sell that cable here in europe suggest using higher quality cable second it should be possible to zoom into illustrations kindle already has the useful feature to zoom illustrations to the full screen width but for some illustrations found that they are still hard to read even when UNK to full screen my wish for the next kindle generation would be that it is possible to zoom into illustrations 1 finally got mine yesterday totally worth the wait ve been holding out on buying an reader for quite some time now back about month ago decided the time had come and was ready to buy either nook or kindle got lucky in seeing the new kindle was coming out at the end of august so did some actually lot of research and although the nook looked pretty cool and wanted reader like now ended up being patient and waiting for the new kindle and it was worth the weight much lighter than the nook and so easy to use an instruction manual is not needed the controls are so intuitive was up and reading my first book within minutes the screen contrast is great and the device fits wonderfully in my hands unless this little beauty isn built to last have nothing bad to say about it the 3g worked great live in rural area too and it took about minutes to download 700 page novel not too bad now just need to pick cover unless you hang out at the bookstore like days week do yourself favor and buy kindle did the research so you don have to 0 kindle UNK bought an expensive kindle in UNK 2009 15 months later it died past warranty amazon has offered me refurbished kindle for only UNK why am not thrilled to have the same model which may die just past the warranty if these nice folks had at least offered me something on new kindle may have considered it even though have the new one on my wish list did love love my defective kindle UNK about getting another one only to have it fail like the first amazon you did me wrong 1 love my kindle the kindle is very easy on the eyes and it makes reading real UNK actually find it more enjoyable to read from than UNK UNK had an older kindle that really UNK but this new version is even easier to read didn think it would be big deal but it is you can read it outside inside most anywhere actually bought it because it has wifi and get the 3g at my house so am very pleased with the whole thing its is great deal wow don write too many UNK but just wanted to share this experience 1 better than expected ordered the kindle on sept with expected sept 20 ship date well received on the UNK and love it coming from kindle and the print is much clearer with easier navigation have used it the whole day and haven had any of the problems some people are complaining about did have minor problem UNK on to my network didnt accept my password so went to manual set up put in the same password and it worked go figure the keys are little on the small side but that doesn effect me since order all my books via my computer also have an ipad and have been using UNK and kindle app to read on it and its quite good but could not use it outdoors too many UNK even reading in the house near window had to tilt it certain way to keep UNK to minimum have no such issues with the kindle 1 am impressed am really happy with this purchase already loaded up on public domain titles UNK UNK UNK etc this is well made machine feels quality and more natural in lap than an actual book this is the future UNK it 1 amazing reader UNK honestly read book throughout high school forced am only 20 years old and have now owned two kindle the kindle us wireless and now the k3 graphite wi fi only it is an awesome device it is much quicker than previous versions wifi works wonderfully am very happy with the battery life so far and everything one would expect from kindle device and much much more am glad that am now reading daily something never in million years imagine that do thanks kindle 0 UNK fee UNK written review about how this was gift for my sister for her birthday because her family gave her an ipad she decided not to keep it went to the website to return and it said august 19 but amazon says august 13 lies because it was not august 13 they charged UNK fee over 20 not right am disappointed that amazon would do such thing don like that they do not have all the reviews posted UNK reviewing my first written review still has not posted 1 spectacular product this is UNK product color would be great for newspapers and magazines but really there aren that many available anyway would like to see more magazines available overall this is the best reader on the market 0 kindle new generation not happy with this at all it should be UNK stated that this wifi is no where as good as the whispernet is on the other kindles am going to try the 3g and hope that is better am UNK used to getting my books anywhere go and you cannot do that with wifi only 1 iffy reliability bought this newer kindle because the screen on my 2nd gen went black weeks after the UNK UNK and it costs the same UNK to by new one as it does for screen UNK liked everything about my 2nd gen except it reliability if this one breaks won be purchasing third 0 UNK please change the korean font like the new kindle but it has an unexpected problem as other users said the korean font has critical visual problem it is not only ugly but hard to read strongly suggest that amazon should replace the font with UNK or UNK which are the most popular fonts in windows operating system wish amazon correct this quickly then would love to rate the new kindle with five stars 1 fantastic love this thing very nice to have the experimental web browser sure hope they keep that great for looking up the next days weather while reading in bed holds lots of books and UNK huge variety of formats purchasing books is very easy and fast 90 of the time am where there is wi fi signal so don miss the 3g at all the price was incredible and perfect for this device way to go amazon 0 paying more for books that ever have before don get me wrong it is more fun to read off the kindle than regular book it is UNK and it is nice how it stores your books however am used to buying used books for no more than bucks total every book want on kindle seems to be around the 12 dollar mark this is ridiculous they have no printing cost it used to be very rare to find book over 99 but amazon is getting UNK and keeps increasing the prices not only did pay for the kindle but now am paying too much for books still end up buying used books online to read because refuse to pay double what used to for book they really need to lower the book prices overall am disappointed 1 nice device my wife surprised me with kindle wifi which arrived today turned it on home network recognized and first book loaded within minutes lovin it 0 reading books is fine but wi fi is UNK live in UNK of nyc and work in nyc my entire UNK is covered in wi fi UNK as is my train UNK office park etc however virtually all of the free or public wi fi networks are enterprise kindle does not support enterprise wi fi networks what this means is that when you go to UNK university train UNK hotel or any other place offering free or public wi fi the wi fi provider will more often than not want to show you an internet page with the rules and conditions for using the wi fi or an UNK spoke with amazon twice and both times they told me that the kindle does not support that type of wi fi access it is enterprise got lucky couple of times was able to access wi fi even though the network was enterprise but the vast majority of the time 95 could not access wi fi even though there were free and public networks all around me it frustrating for the kindle to UNK free public wi fi networks but then refuse to connect to the networks you will get this error message the kindle does not support enterprise or UNK to UNK networks there are ways around the problem you can utilize starbucks wi fi it isn enterprise you can download your books onto computer and then transfer them to the kindle via usb cable you can buy wireless router for your home but think it UNK than unable to use 95 of the free and public wi fi networks that constantly UNK me the kindle itself is good reading and battery life are great but navigation is UNK than it should be however am returning the wi fi kindle and will get the 3g version but ll wait til UNK or UNK when the price drops to under 150 the device simply isn worth 200 189 plus tax especially since the books cost about as much as paperbacks 150 or less is fair price 1 wi fi only whispernet not what expected star product star pre sale information am upgrading my version kindle and found the new one lighter UNK and easier to use on the other hand it requires wifi connection to download book from amazon comparing to the first generation kindle better lighter better graphics native pdf support better navigation no more accidental page turns charge using usb one less charger to carry easier to put to sleep only one finger required easier to turn on off the wireless save battery battery lasts longer didn test it yet organize books into collections hooks to attach to the cover no more falling kindles worse no anywhere whispernet wifi required no support for external memory uses micro usb for connection your old UNK will not work but they provide cable no replaceable battery but never replaced mine after years no cover provided an additional 30 expense UNK some of these points wifi vs wireless requiring wifi connection was big let down for me since it was not clear from the specs that it wouldn have the same access as my old one if you look carefully at the description you will see under books in 60 seconds with built in wi fi that your books and periodicals are delivered over wi fi via whispernet and there is no mention of other type of delivery since used to associate whispernet with the wireless cell not wifi it was kind of UNK ll probably keep my new kindle because am usually pretty close to wifi point most of the time if you don spend the extra 50 for the 3g version pdf support thought that pdf support would be the best thing ever but this format was designed for UNK inches page and most of the books tried are difficult to read especially if they have very detailed graphics if reading pdf documents think manuals and legal books is your main reason for kindle seriously consider the dx it is much more expensive but your eyes will thank you or UNK try to convert to native format in this case be aware that tables are not properly converted most of the time size weight and buttons the first kindle was not heavy at all but the new one feels as light as pages UNK you can read it all day long without even noticing you are holding something the UNK of keyboard and navigation made for smaller device without UNK the screen but nothing here really important major complaint of everyone who uses the first generation kindle was the size and position of the navigation keys it was extremely hard to read on the bed without accidentally turning pages this problem is now solved with keys for next page and previous pages that are smaller but still easy to find by touch on both sides of the screen cover still don have mine so have to base this on the images in amazon another major complaint was that if you were not very careful you could end up holding the cover while the kindle would fall down on you or even worse on the floor now instead of loose attachment the kindle has two UNK that will fit hooks attached to the cover apparently once hooked to the cover you have to UNK free it 1 great book reader problems with page turn button hi let me tell you that apart from the problem described below this is an almost perfect reader the kindle that received has very stiff right page forward button which is quite hard to press unfortunately have to return the kindle and before order replacement wanted to know if anybody else is having similar problem or if it is unit specific issue thanks 1 new to ebooks very happy grew tired of having to special order books through borders and decided to give it try and have been very happy have UNK the joy of reading now read more than ever purchased with the lighted cover very happy with that as well updated software and unit works well 0 keep your kindle am sorry but love amazon own kindle and purchased kindle returned the kindle after two days of use because the UNK seemed to me to just reduce the size of the page turning buttons to the point where they are awkward to use compared to the kindle am in love with my kindle and maybe it is difficulty with me in trying to teach an old dog new tricks but think kindle needs to re think the design of the kindle to make it user friendly like the kindle buy the kindle if you still can UNK UNK 1 only two tiny complaints love my kindle bought the 1st gen kindle from friend about months ago and used it so much upgraded to this one have only two complaints would have preferred standard usb mini plug instead of the less common micro connector have spare usb with mini UNK attached to my computers at home and at work for most of my other gadgets but have to use different cable just for the kindle minor inconvenience but still an inconvenience it would also be nice if kindle would get over their dead author screensavers and allow customization of the sleep display it not like it hard to do the 1st gen kindle allowed UNK sleep display had picture of my little UNK dog on there and it made me UNK every time picked up my kindle this UNK down of basic UNK feature is the main reason give the kindle stars instead of many users have asked for this feature it would be so easy to give it back to us and yet amazon won do it what gives amazon 1 give it 10 stars if could my new kindle will be one week old tomorrow what lovely piece of technology the new kindle is this is my second kindle the proud owner of k1 received in june 2008 so it almost years and months that ve be kindler absolutely UNK my k1 from the moment got it the screen was easy on the eyes could carry around couple of hundred books on vacation or on my daily commute by train UNK UNK in my purse where used to lug around backpack heavy with books magazines and newspapers no longer had to cover every horizontal surface in my apartment with books when ran out of bookcase space even got used to the accidental page turns that were the least good part of the k1 resisted the UNK of the k2 because it didn seem all that different from the k1 and just continued to enjoy reading on the k1 btw even the original k1 battery is still going strong after plus years but when saw the new k3 pop up on the amazon home page knew had to click that button chose to go whole UNK and get the 3g wireless since like to travel abroad on many vacations and can always be near wireless hot spot ordered on august and was told it would arrive sometime after september UNK it was pre order at the time as the product was not ready yet it was slow month of checking and UNK my order status hoping for that UNK for shipping notice finally got it and was pleased to receive the kindle few days early good for you amazon well was delighted as soon as took it out of the box immediately fell in love with the dark gray UNK that had solid and somewhat rubbery feel making it feel sturdy in my hands much UNK than the rather cheap looking k1 white plastic charged it while out to dinner and it was ready and UNK to go when got home immediately went onto to my manage kindle page on my computer and marked all the books in my archive wanted to download to my new baby as read the UNK pre loaded manual my library downloaded fast and without hitch was immediately thrilled by two things the crisp dark high contrast screen print noticeably better than the k1 screen which was UNK good and the ability to organize my hundred or so books into collections that could name myself the ability to organize titles that all us UNK had been asking amazon for was finally here now instead of pages of titles UNK to thumb through to get the title want can now just click on the genre that suits my fancy and find the book want to read much more easily plus after reading few days realized the book you re currently reading jumps to the top of the list in the collection it in which makes opening it again breeze very smart little touch that and you can tag books into multiple collections for those like UNK and history that often UNK mentioned that had about 200 books on my k1 actually had to add UNK memory card for the UNK that didn fit on the k1 UNK memory which was fine but noticeably slowed down access to the books and page turns with k3 have the remarkable ability to carry around up to 500 books and periodicals can even imagine when would reach that many if had 200 after years and the page turn buttons are smaller so fewer accidental turns the page turns are also noticeably faster still not used to having back button on the right side so still do hand switch when want to reverse but learning other notable improvements are the navigation button which works very well once you practice bit much much better than the k1 scroll wheel and bar much faster access to all things love the ability to search easily through so many different reference sources although wiki articles are little hard to read the ability to flip to landscape mode is nice for looking at photos or drawings which are much sharper and clearer on the k3 the three font types are nice thing to have especially when your eyes get tired it good to be able to change the look of the screen to wake yourself up it also great to have the additional levels of font size for total of UNK eyes you know haven had it long enough to UNK how well the battery holds its charge but am pleased that none of the glitches and crashes that seemed to UNK those who received their UNK the UNK seem to be happening to mine hopefully the firmware fix already went into the model received my absolutely only complaint which has absolutely nothing repeat absolutely nothing to do with the kindle itself is that amazon was either UNK or unable to release the k3 specs to many of the popular third party cover UNK to ensure that there were sufficient cover UNK available at the time kindle was released remembered the UNK design of the original k1 amazon cover and did not feel excited by their designs for the k3 the early reviews were not impressive nor was about to spend over 100 for UNK UNK which also didn get impressive reviews was holding out for edge from which had lovely red leather case for my k1 that is now UNK but still quite UNK looking then UNK over oberon and promptly made fool of myself UNK checking their web site for the release UNK thank goodness they did release the k3 covers the other night and am happily awaiting my new oberon UNK of heaven cover which was shipped today UNK UNK amazon you blew it on the covers but the k3 itself gets full 10 stars from me 1 my first ereader is hit was looking for while to get an ereader and looked at the nook and kindle for me kindle UNK hands down it is light feels good in hand intuitive to use fast and screen is really something else am mostly interested in reading the old free stuff and at the current price think they got it spot on if this goes down to hundred bucks don know if they would be able to keep them UNK for year the device worked right out of the box tried all the features the browser sucks but that should get better it is software thing the menus are ok but again can be improved the hardware platform seems well done screen changes are fast downloads and kindle store browsing is fast tried the pdf reader it is just ok in landscape view unless you convert them if you convert them its perfect so for me amazon has winner here some articles on the web bring in tablets in this discussion am not sure why the two devices can not even compare the only people that can compare them are those who need to justify 600 800 dollar purchase of tablet gadget if you like to read tablets are not for you this is only wish we had this when was in school it would have saved me ton of money on books 1 wow my new kindle just came am previous kindle owner am very excited that the mobile web is so much better than before am able to access maps google com and type in where am and where want to go awesome it basically has gps instructions for you for public UNK or on the road cool haha also my kindle can access facebook very excited going to get warranty and cover asap UNK haha 1 love it but not fair ve owned my kindle for UNK months now and love it originally bought it for my husband but of course took it over now have over 200 books on my kindle it is so easy to carry can use it in waiting rooms during car trips anywhere however of course now that we ve bought the first kindle new version comes out at discount that not fair to customers who ve already paid more money and continue to buy new books monthly we should be given some kind of discount on books or UNK to amazon but still love love love my kindle 1 better then gen but still has some minor flaws this is the 2nd kindle that have owned my first one being the international version of the gen and can definitely say that the new gen was definitely worth the upgrade the screen contrast is much higher making it easier to read and less blurry then the gen screen was and the reduced size and weight makes it easier to hold it for long reading sessions those for me along with the longer battery life easily justified the upgrade for me with the newly added wi fi being nice little bonus the unit isn without its issues though although it is better at reading pdf it still isn all that great at it though to be honest don know if that is kindle issue or just an issue with how pdf have to be handled on such small screen the biggest issues for me though are ones that don think amazon will be UNK at least not anytime soon and they are the lack of UNK bookstore so that can purchase my books in UNK as opposed to usd and the lack of epub support understand that amazon wants you to go through them to buy your books but it would be nice if could get books that amazon doesn have available for canadians from the canadian sites who only use epub 1 kindle is great for any reader have only had my kindle for one week now and cannot believe went so long without one before the kindle book store shows up well and easily UNK on the kindle and buying books from computer is just as easy too had picked out quite few books out of the free collection before my kindle had arrived and as soon as turned it on out of the box they were all downloaded which was really convenient the few pdfs have tried have shown up well too converted my school notes from my laptop to pdf and was able to easily mail them to my kindle with the free document conversion and email address that comes with the kindle they are easy to read and love that can use the kindle to study and search for key points without carrying around my bulky laptop to work or to the library also the ability to make collections of books in the kindle is great feature was able to section off my books notes and pdfs into different categories and it has make finding what want to read so quick have tried few magazines on the kindle to see how they show up and have to say don think will ever buy reader digest or time in print again besides the UNK pictures not being in color don feel like missed out on single thing with reader digest on the kindle it was absolutely perfect played around little with the text to speech feature and for what it is it works really well the voice is the equivalent to microsoft sam but it is understandable and functional some words are UNK wrong which one has to expect from computer generated voice for example alas was UNK as alice but if you have hard time reading smaller print or are too tired to focus on the words it is great to use the experimental mp3 player in the kindle isn bad either the biggest problem had with it was having to convert my UNK files to mp3 after that was done it was simply drag and drop to the music player and select play in the experimental menu in the kindle the speakers are amazing left my kindle on the couch to go grab something from the other side of my home and could hear my music loud and clear you can select your song see who is playing or even what is on your playlist but when just want some background music to read am not too focused on that anyway the experimental web browser was the only thing was little disappointed in although it does load faster than the browser on my cell phone it was cumbersome having to zoom and pan to see anything on some sites mail and wikipedia worked great and that is probably what would limit the browser use to it gets little hard navigating sites like facebook or even amazon com in the browser but it was cool that they added the feature anyway overall am extremely satisfied and happy with my kindle there is not much either than what was experimental in the first place that they could improve on loved the 3g and wi fi built in capability and the fact that could download books at school work or home without any trouble am definitely going to be loyal kindle customer from now on 0 died on the first day it is my first UNK into the world of kindle and must say that when find my way out may not return on the first day of use yesterday it locked up and will turn on but does nothing else ve tried to reset and reboot without success now get dead battery message after perhaps hours of use yes did fully charge it before turned it on guess ll call cs but to be honest when this happens it UNK my UNK ll likely get my money back and continue to read the old fashion way until the bugs are worked out of this new model sure this is not typical of all kindle products but mine is sure UNK 1 they got it right with kindle ve not owned an reader before but have been waiting watching looking at them and following reviews for few years now turn UNK are cost of unit battery life size weight etc kept coming back to the kindle and when saw the k3 knew the time had come without UNK all the positive reviews yes amazon got this one right love everything about it and especially how fast and easy it is to use download of books mags periodicals is lightning fast things like to see in the future you can set the clock time but where the clock bought the 59 99 leather case with light and so slip into the living room after hubby gone to sleep unfortunately there no clock in the living room and no clock on the kindle know they might have wanted to keep it like book but how about an option that small date time UNK can be UNK on or off in corner or with the press of hot key overall great value for the money no regrets so far enjoying every minute of it get one 1 love love love my new kindle lets start with design pros it is light weight and easy to carry around all day when at school the screen contrast is excellent have no problems reading the device in bright outdoor sunlight or low light with candle like the UNK black finish and the UNK qwerty key pad UNK cons the page forward and backward button placement took about day or two to get used to have large hands and found myself accidentally flipping pages also found that wanted to use the larger page forward button on the left hand side of the device to page backwards however after day or two was used to the setup and had no further issues functionality and features pros the device functions nearly flawlessly internet access is better than expected and the text to speech is really handy when you cant put down good book but need to make UNK highlighting text is easy and seeing what other people found interesting about the book you are reading is pretty cool too the ability to adjust the font size to make it easier to read has definitely improved my reading speed and comprehension cons occasionally the device seems to freeze up when accessing the experimental stuff the text to speech froze on me once or twice but it was pretty easy to resolve turned UNK off and finished reading the page UNK the page and turned UNK back on experience have found that reading my kindle is certainly the most fun have had reading in my entire life get so lost in reading that am just flying through books like crazy this morning read the UNK UNK by UNK UNK before UNK conclusion am giving the kindle stars because it saves space saves money and keeps me reading good books instead of watching tv the cons that found with this device only took little getting used to or is related to experimental features that may not have all of the kinks ironed out as is the case with almost everything experimental furthermore there is huge selection of free books like the UNK the UNK and many other classic books that are in the public domain this device has already UNK for its self within the second day from all of the books that now have on my reading list overall really enjoy this product and hope to see color version in the not to UNK future 1 amazing got my kindle for my birthday just this week am soon to be UNK and we will be traveling quite bit over the next several months since will be in travel UNK so much of the time will not be able to purchase paper backs as frequently but with the kindle can still download my favorite authors and enjoy their latest books having to go to store or wait for purchase to arrive through book club thank you amazon for such an amazing and innovative product hope to use my kindle for many days of satisfying reading UNK UNK 1 where have you been all my life have been waiting for the kindle to come down in price since they first UNK few years ago after recent overseas trip in which packed about five heavy novels saw the news about the new wifi kindle for 139 ordered it right away have not regretted the decision one bit it is small lightweight and easy to operate novels are easily downloaded in seconds and are cheaper than normal book price most classics and anything considered public domain is free it keeps charge for month it also true that after reading for while the gadget seems to disappear and you only read the words it holds thousands of books what are you waiting for go get one right now 1 best thing ever hate having to go to the only two bookstores in my area as they are near huge UNK UNK sections and are just hassle to get to also dislike getting books online because then have to wait forever to get them now kindle wow what an idea since read so much don want to keep all the books have read using this can easily not worry about having extra books round the house if love the book and wanted to collect it then can always buy it and add it to my book shelf as person who has read thousands of books its really nice to be able to keep them in such small space usually have to have them in boxes shelves UNK now no worries also am able to take several books with me when go on vacation or am stuck waiting for an appointment and may finish one book then don have to drag around second book and look like UNK as far as ease of use and usefulness just really love it its super easy to use and figure out has excellent viewing quality it will never beat the smell feel of new book but its heck of lot more practical can wait till they add more types of covers for it especially UNK one as would love to take it to the beach park and other places without having to worry about damage 1 hoped to like it more and now do had watched the kindle since it first came out and with the newest generation price drop finally decided to purchase one to me it seems like an UNK device for the following reasons the good the ergonomics the screen is incredibly easy to read the kindle is easy to hold the buttons while small are easy to use battery life the kindle battery will last one month with the wifi off that is amazing my family UNK our vacations UNK before never was able to carry enough reading material storage the kindle will hold up to 500 books you can have an entire library in your hands the bad navigation the page turning buttons work fine however the rest of the navigation is quite confusing out of the 17 books have opened on my kindle none have started on the first page some begin on the UNK notes some on the UNK and others at UNK when look at the status bar some books have started at of the book completed the way button may not go to the beginning so you have to flip back through each page to find the beginning as have been flipping back twice found an excellent table of contents would have been quite content if the book would have started there page numbers have no idea why but the kindle UNK is quite UNK right am 15 into book and the location is UNK 12 what is even more confusing is that the number may increase or decrease as read UNK into the book unless everyone know is UNK the kindle cool UNK am not sure how will discuss books with my friends the cost of books as new user am sure loyal ebook UNK will UNK UNK but for the life of me can figure out why amazon sells paperback books for less than the cost of an automatically delivered ebook then after purchase an ebook am only allowed to read it and store it on my computer cannot sell it lend it or UNK it to library like can with the much cheaper paperback overall like the storage and size but as someone who reads about 100 pages or so day don see this becoming my primary reading method update the kindle software update added page numbers it has made navigation much easier am in book club and feel comfortable reading books on the kindle and bringing it to the UNK 1 kindle 3g love my kindle and wish had ordered it sooner am an avid reader and was reluctant to give up holding book in my hands the overall convenience of ordering books carrying and using the kindle makes up for any loss thought might feel thanks to my good friend who brought his kindle to me and UNK read book on it 1 great value as UNK ereader wasn sure what to expect despite UNK up with all the reviews most were UNK and now can see why the best UNK to me were the functionality of the browser in article mode it quite UNK and even UNK type UNK UNK come up clean in web mode weight and size are as advertised which means it largely one hand operation save for typing connecting to the web for me was no more difficult than on notebook the key is knowing what type of security you have wep or wpa and knowing the password which if wep can be UNK UNK 1 love this was at first apprehensive about giving up my paperback books thought there is something about sitting down with good book but sometimes get UNK when the words are UNK into the UNK with my kindle don have that issue hardly miss turning pages and take it everywhere it is so easy to read in full sunlight and the leather case with attached light make reading your kindle comfortable convenient and really really fun 0 disappointed UNK white border for my kindle the dark border makes it hard to see the UNK also ordered book and got involved with wi fi UNK problem and still don have my book want to return the kindle 0 books have become overpriced my husband bought me the kindle for christmas last year when the price was about 250 at first thought it was worth the price because we would save money and space on new books and eventually it would pay for itself however now that amazon has lowered the price of the kindle the price of the books have gone up in many cases buying the actual book is cheaper than buying the kindle version haven really used my kindle in months because of this realize there is fairly decent amount of free books but of course it never book that interested at reading read lot of books that are part of series and you would think the kindle price would be cheaper than the book for obvious reasons no shipping no packaging no paper etc but it not and many times the kindle price stays the same while the book becomes cheaper other than those complaints the kindle itself isn bad 1 my kindle UNK works well even in UNK countries happy to work with my new kindle with 3g and wifi international ed have put my UNK in kindle to show to my relatives before trying to sell them on my website as ebooks have visited even on amazon to do research on this my trial of UNK german magazine for UNK UNK works well too UNK load in even ebooks from amazon and gutenberg to UNK and better my english the english UNK in UNK thank you for that next step in UNK in the new it UNK UNK UNK gb UNK to write notes on business meetings and UNK or publishing UNK UNK UNK UNK or notes on my wiki recommend the kindle for those interested to build up own knowledge UNK or carry with it their mp3 files in light UNK which is easy to have with on UNK 1 kindle its really an ideal device for someone who reads books but the only problem is that cant convert my UNK presentation in an kindle format so that can read them on it without problems 1 no light no reading recieved my kindle for my birthday and absolutely love it the only downfall is it is not however equipped to read in the dark would like to upgrade but am not UNK it is not equipped for nighttime reading with the money paid for this great invention feel should not have to go out and purchase light for the kindle besides regular book lights do not work for books and especially not with kindle for the price paid the kindle should have an internal led light or something UNK maybe even an internal light with UNK for this reason rate my kindle star 0 improvement just recently ordered the new generation kindle and it was good in downloading my books but it is very lacking in lot of things first it is hard to get the internet it should use more than one UNK for the internet it should have light built in for night reading for it to be new generation these things should have been added in addition to that it need to be in color have notice other ereaders are in color have touch screen and other accessories think the kindle needs lot of improvement hopefully the next one will have all of these things also they should supply you with cover UNK phones at least and not charge an arm and leg for for the cover can say am disappointed think will look for another ereader with these features 1 very good hardware not as good software am really happy with the kindle compared to different ereaders is without any doubt the best quality price item fast refreshing small size light only problem is firmware received the kindle days ago and so far it has frozen UNK and it reboots itself automatically after being frozen for while pdf reader should provide more powerful zoom tool as it is quite difficult to read some pdf with the zoom options we should be able to choose which UNK zoom we would like to see UNK it not by default but it is quite impressive would recommend this kindle for this UNK without any doubt 1 wow love my new kindle have never had one before so don have anything to compare it to but am amazed by it there is only couple of very minor things that wish it had which in no way UNK the kindle marvelous UNK love it have UNK and have terrible pain trying to hold book especially heavy book for any length of time am an avid reader and not being able to read for extended UNK of time has really been hard for me now because the kindle is so light can read for hours if choose and without pain was also thrilled with the ease at which was able to download 72 books in matter of minutes as for the minor things that wish it had one is color and the other is mini light built in so that can read whilst hubby UNK know can buy one but just wish it had one that came with it or was built in so thank you amazon for the kindle you have made me lifelong satisfied customer with the new kindle and will purchase one for hubby asap will also use kindle for the rest of my life and can wait for new and improved version because know it only going to get better with some minor UNK thanks again 1 no UNK controls only one UNK process available we purchased kindle for my 11 and 12 year old avid readers they love it and certainly the kindle is easy for them to use and will UNK even greater reading interest couple of problems that have with it is the inability to apply UNK controls to the device and the one touch ordering process cannot be changed would like to have the ability to limit their choices by age or content and also require password mine before they are able to make purchase of any kind it seems UNK that password is not needed before making purchase what if our kindles are lost or stolen after purchase is made an email is immediately sent to me UNK the purchase at that point do have the option to return any purchases within one week which is definitely helpful the need to be tied so closely to my email and my credit card concerns me required password would at the very least remind my children that they must have UNK before making any purchase and save some UNK 1 UNK kindle review kindle is the best book that has happened to me love the kindle stopped buying UNK books number of years ago because my hands and arms would go to sleep holding them this happens much less UNK with the kindle my eyes love the format that allows me to change font sizes as well as the UNK which is not backlit the ease of buying books is also top feature the kindle does have few drawbacks navigating around book can be especially frustrating if forget who character is later in the story there is no way to flip back for that information purchased bible but found it useless because of this navigation problem the other major drawback is the UNK of the device dropped by first kindle and had to have it replaced am on my third kindle the newest model because of another accident with number two the screen does not hold up well over all the kindle is my choice of reading devices made UNK to me by the number of books in my archives have read almost hundred books in less than year keep sending me books amazon 0 cheaper but worse this one is big disappointment for me hardware controls are horrible and inconvenient and look cheap there are no numeric keys on keypad so navigation becomes pain software is primitive and buggy but one flaw is most UNK they said the battery charge will last for one month without wi fi why on earth then this device totally UNK in 24 hours after full charge in standby mode am so happy to get defective one ve decided to buy it after so many adds from amazon and what did get UNK so UNK will send it back next week 1 amazon has delivered great book reader this is my first book reader the UNK kindle caught my eye but just don read enough to have justified its price tag the latest g3 kindle fit the bill at its rather attractive price opted for the nicer 3g wifi model and just as amazon says got books via 3g in under minute very cool ve used it for several hours so far and the battery is still reading 80 90 full the kindle reports its battery as battery UNK bar UNK so can be too accurate with this reading ve downloaded full books and couple sample books most of the time ve left the wireless features off some folks have reported lock ups on the kindle so far haven had any while reading books did few minutes of web surfing and on more complex web sites it does get quite slow but never locked up quite happy with the new ink display can compare to an older kindle but the contrast of the current generation leaves me quite pleased the screen is very readable in bright sunlight to UNK lit room lighting of course if your low light vision isn very good any non backlit display will be hard to read like the page turn buttons they really are quite quiet and well placed some folks have reported issues with the directional pad and accidentally hitting the back button haven had this issue but perhaps being more careful to not hit it since ve heard others complain about it all in all the qwerty keyboard and the page turn buttons are good design and easy for me to use amazon decided to UNK the numeric buttons but do wish for their physical UNK while you can enter UNK via the sym button and the directional keypad having actual buttons would be good when you want to enter location in book you have to manually enter it the hard way not UNK but bit annoying could live with slightly UNK kindle and the addition of the buttons the overall look of the kindle is very slick it very simple very much like an apple product the graphite looks great and shouldn show any dirt during reading the device does tend to disappear which is what you want after bit don think about reading on an electronic device it very much like reading real book expected this reader to work well and it hasn disappointed in this regard one thing to note about navigating in book if you re reading things UNK as you typically would it all good if you have to UNK around between pages it can be tedious couple pages is easy just couple clicks if you have to flip several pages to look something up it tedious for reading novel this isn really an issue reading book on UNK and kept having to flip back to table the author was UNK this was bit painful it not like with paper book where you can just UNK your finger few pages back for easy reference also there are no page numbers on books only location numbers this is because when you change your font size your page numbers would change the locations are way that amazon solved that issue the downside is that book may have thousands of locations making remembering location harder due to the longer number since the locations are numbers you get to use that sym button and directional pad to enter them fun ok not really so UNK around in an book isn so great what is great is being able to search you can enter search anytime and it will list out all parts of the book that match the search that part is quite cool you can also highlight phrases and all those other UNK that the product description UNK about the built in dictionary is also quite nice so you can quickly find definitions overall see the latest kindle as stars it could use some user interface UNK to make books bit easier to navigate the reading experience is excellent however and wouldn hesitate to recommend this device to anyone that wants to save some trees by reading books electronically 1 love the new kindle this is my first kindle ebook reader ever and love it instantly became UNK with it when saw my UNK using her kindle 2nd generation ve always liked to read books when was younger but as grew older guess you can say kind of lost interest pre ordered my kindle and had to wait an UNK weeks until amazon released the new edition and shipped it which must say was rather quickly actually received it the same day it was released which was sooo happy UNK while was waiting for my kindle to arrive must admit did for few days consider buying the nook instead was attracted to the color display and touch screen read an extensive amount of reviews on both the kindle and the nook most of the nook reviews weren that great so UNK to go into barnes and nobles store to check it out as soon as picked up the nook and held it in my hands automatically decided would wait for the kindle was surprised at how much heavier and thicker the nook was compared to the kindle it wouldn make sense for me to buy device that was twice as heavier than regular paperback book might as well buy the actual book if that the case the fact that only the menu part of the nook is in color also made it easier for me to choose the kindle didn want to compromise UNK and speed for UNK color display ve had my kindle for almost weeks and ive read books front to back already just can seem to put it down the kindle works great can turn the pages quickly navigate easily through amazon with no problem and even visit any other webpage with no problem the only thing think is UNK and annoying is that amazon hasn made these kindles with built in light of some sort to turn on when reading in the night why this is not standard feature UNK me think its ridiculous that we have to buy seperate light to attach in order to read in low light but then again none of the other ebook readers have this feature either either way love my kindle and can honestly say its been one of the few technology purchases that ve actually put to good use 1 love my kindle couldn live without it only improvement like to see is the capability to back light the screen for reading in dark dim situations 1 definitely impressed by the kindle have been wanting kindle for about year and my boyfriend surprised me with the new one for my birthday have had the kindle for about 24 hours and am addicted to it already have not discovered all of the features on it yet but the screen really looks like paper and does not hurt my eyes to read off of in any way have been reading on it for about hours straight at this point the built in dictionary already helped me out in learning the meaning of the word UNK which has been used more than once in the book house rules by UNK UNK that am currently UNK in all have to do is move the cursor next to the unknown word and the definition pops up also the frequently highlighted by other feature is very helpful when reading in the books have purchased on my kindle for school am UNK student this feature is easily turned off as well it was so easy to just begin purchasing and reading on my new kindle and the 3g works great couldn be happier with the gift and highly recommend the kindle to any other reading UNK or those in school thought would miss the feeling of having book in my hand but in the case it feels similar to book but is lighter and the pages turn faster than could actually turn them myself the kindle is wonderful addition to my reading collection 1 UNK part with over thousand reviews at hand can honestly see the point in adding my own but do have few critical thoughts though UNK to change my star rating some readers like myself tend to fall asleep while reading the kindle falls to the floor and you know the rest of the story so ordered the newer kindle g3 but still guy who falls asleep while reading have taken the extreme UNK of UNK UNK to the back of the new kindle to which is attached UNK which wrap to my wrist if UNK off the kindle falls out of my grip but does not hit the floor it an UNK thing to do to such beautiful gizmo but this UNK cost 189 and if this keeps my kindle working past my next UNK it worth it but it is rather UNK as you can imagine perhaps kindle designers could design into the case UNK tab that serves the same purpose UNK drops love the smaller size and the lighter weight really is UNK but not really buying the UNK that the screen is 50 brighter than my kindle little yes but 50 that not what my eyes tell me gray screen is still annoying to me but ve decided to adapt and move on this kindle then is the cat UNK don use the kindle more advanced features just read doubt if would be near as pleased with any other reader if it just came with an UNK 1 after initial set up issues love it received my next generation kindle wifi version on wednesday this week and was super excited until tried to get it up and running no issues with the wi fi connection but it didn come pre registered to my amazon account like it was supposed to and upon following the steps to register it nothing worked called customer service nice short wait that was nice and the original person tried UNK to register it from her end she then transferred me to another technical person who ran through few UNK with me it was eventually determined that my machine contained an odd system date january 24 2010 even though it was september and that was causing the issues my wifi wasn updating the system date but she told me that UNK the wifi at place like starbucks would likely fix it was able to get to starbucks the next morning and it did fix the issue and allow me to download my books the device has worked well since then without issues was just so excited to get the device after waiting for almost month that was disappointed to even have to wait few hours longer 0 less than UNK okay my kindle arrived first impressions UNK wish the screen was brighter keep touching the screen expecting the pages to turn wow have to push the turn button page UNK hard where the color my UNK loaded kindle on to his ipad he was backlight and could change the page colors from black and white to UNK he had color he was just turning the pages with UNK of his finger kindle app was free gonna give it minute and see how this all works out guess the kindle is half the size of an ipad might not want to hold an ipad all day reading on the beach yep the ipad costs more but the 189 spent for the kindle takes me almost to the ipad price with ipad having lot more functionality including being able to read books in epub format but UNK not what expected lot less than expected 1 good with some limitations we ve had the kindle 3g for two or three weeks the purpose of the purchase was to allow my wife who has UNK UNK to UNK with the world of books by eliminating the weight and UNK of conventional book and also to UNK her voice by reading aloud should mention that her vision is poor and she has to read at the maximum sized font reading at the maximum size font means that the line advance controls are used much more frequently than when the font is at smaller size the controls on the one we own are stiff the result is that until you get the feel of them it easy to UNK and then have to back up for person with reduced hand mobility the stiff controls are difficult to use we have found also that it is easy to lock the machine up and learning how to do resets is important to know because you do them lot this could change as we get more experience but right now resets are an essential part of the experience not UNK but side buttons are tough for me to use and they re tough for my wife to use too it is all to easy to grab the kindle in the wrong place and end up several lines away from where you wanted to be can say that side buttons are defect but would certainly have appreciated top buttons that would be thumb operated haven used or UNK readers by other UNK so can say if kindle is better or worse the bottom line is that we re generally satisfied with the product as is and are learning the required work UNK that UNK the usage of large fonts 0 warning before you buy you have reached the UNK limit for this item UNK purchased this around august 2010 and liked it UNK with most of the pros mentioned by the other reviewers so will not write about that however will write about the UNK limit amazon did not tell you about was on my 5th book on kindle enjoying reading the UNK seller and there was quote read and wanted to share it in my UNK so highlighted the quote shared it and got this message you have reached the UNK limit for this item UNK bear in mind had no problems with the other books when was sharing thing or two about what was reading searched the kindle user guide and cannot find any information on this issue googled the message and it turns out publishers limit the amount you can clip per books why is this it seems to me they are afraid that someone with lot of time in their hand would UNK and highlight each pages of book that lot of pages save it in txt file and UNK it to another ebook format really someone has that time it an UNK idea if you re one of those people who likes to clip and make notes like if you re doing book report research you re better off borrowing book from the library and clip to your heart content guess would not be using my kindle for studying technical UNK books that just plain UNK latest update 10 13 2010 so on my third kindle replacement the last one they sent me had screen problem the same as the 1st one it had UNK UNK in image of the kindle out of the box screen saver and the login UNK box hard reset it as per kindle support and nothing happens kindle support determined that it was screen damage so they are sending me replacement but still frustrating two kindles within the two month period with screen issues never took my kindle anywhere as it stays on my nightstand most of the time as like to read before go to bed moreover it always protected with the amazon leather cover and it always on charge there is no reason for it to break turn it on read my favorite books magazines and turn it off and yet it broke so don UNK me if don give it five stars in any case you are all UNK with good disposable income you have read all the reviews and you can make informed decision and decide for yourself if this is worth your hard earned money maybe just have bad luck and keep getting the defective units good luck to you on your purchase 1 kindle support over the years have purchased six or eight kindles from the k1 to the dx for myself and my family on several UNK something has UNK or broken each time contact kindle support am UNK with UNK UNK and UNK each time receive new kindle as replacement this last time the UNK head button cracked the unit was still under its one year warranty and new unit is being shipped from the time the representative picked up the phone to UNK less than one minute UNK that what call service 0 UNK not yet kindle another UNK UNK years away from anything that would be considered absolutely reliable and consumer friendly the kindle is being constantly up UNK however in the long run feel that it will fail due to its UNK of books and the length of time that person can view them with the charges that amazon charges my advice if you are considering buying kindle is to wait there are definitely better deals ahead 0 so much problem to get the kindled ordered amazon never shipped the kindle wifi that pre ordered on UNK 31st after that it took phone calls and lots of annoyance to get the unit the right version ordered what happened to this kindle launch my experience failed my expectation from amazon UNK if there are other experiences like mine amazon costs themselves more money to make it right to the customers after they already UNK the heck out of them with UNK up their orders my learning maybe never pre order anything with amazon since they seem to mess up my pre order but has always performed well with normal purchases otherwise the device itself is easy and fun to use so far 0 white kindle wi fi would like to buy new generation kindle wi fi only in white why do you not have it available see you have white one for the 3g kindle will you plan on getting that into production soon 1 great tech support thank you UNK had an issue connecting to the wireless at first but UNK from tech support UNK coast worked with me tonight during number of UNK telephone UNK she didn give up and neither did UNK was very helpful and UNK and eventually figured out solution to the problem am up and running now great little gadget thank you UNK keep up the fine work 1 best ereader this is an awesome product ve had the sony 505 sony pocket edition kobo and kindle the kindle is by far the better product the ink is darker words leap off the page you can change the font font size line spacing margins you can make collections like the sony ereaders page turns are faster and silent the buttons are easy to use the turn buttons are placed really well and it small compact and cute it very convenient to be able to get books without using computer chose the white kindle because found that if an ereader is not white or silver the UNK border UNK on my reading enjoyment the only thing would add is the ability to list book collections by alphabetical order right now the only option appears to be UNK them in the order in which they are entered an amazing product really the best ereader on the market now 1 how did we live before kindle this is my second kindle and its even better than the first its lighter easier to read outside and fast downloading when you are in 3g area the kindle is now well priced when compared to the cost of books for an avid reader it is great to have books and newspapers in tiny package when you are traveling 1 best purchase ever love love the kindle it my first one and am never going back to hard copies of books it lightweight easy to read and easy to navigate this must for readers 1 you guys got it right just getting started but so far so good it easy to use compact lightweight and the screen is beautiful page refresh is practically instantaneous battery life is excellent sleep mode works well wi fi also works well have been able to download both pdf files and pdfs UNK to prc format using the usb cable customer service was perfect on the one issue had using the usb cable at 139 there is tremendous value for money here 1 excellent but ups makes it more expensive to get it in spain no need to add any extra praise to this great product amazon makes an effort to make it cheaper to UNK UNK of their reader though they pick courier ups to do the UNK on UNK of the customer at UNK in spain this means to pay an additional UNK UNK usd 50 that on top of the usd 25 prepaid as import fees make third of the cost of the kindle not including shipping UNK hope next time courier charges are UNK they also include limitation on how much they extra charge at the customer at UNK getting some extra money on the side of what amazon already pays them 1 another gadget now can live without read all the time really every chance get debated about purchasing kindle because just figured books were fine and why did have to spend money on this thing well when this latest generation came out at only 139 it kept UNK me every time went to amazon couldn get it off my mind so bit the bullet and now have never looked back love the fact it is so slim and extremely easy to use and can have as many books open as like at one time have always had more than one book at time going and jump around by reading what book UNK my fancy at that moment the kindle allows me to do this without having books laying all over the house and better yet don have to choose book to take with me when go to the doctors office etc can have them all with me in my purse in one slim solution and love it can live without it now oh yeah the battery time is super amazing have had it since sept 3rd have read books since then and have only charged it when it arrived also the print is so easy on your eyes really couldn believe it thought it would be like looking at computer screen all day boy was wrong the technology used to produce this clear precise and easy on the eyes print is something you have to experience to even believe way to go amazon 1 nice product it cool product but still need some time to get use to the joystick controller 1 fantastic device yes just yes as an avid reader living overseas where english books are hard to come by this device is life saver what didn expect was that the several hours day spend on public UNK and frequent travel have turned into much more enjoyable times because always have literature with me that UNK my need or mood you just can carry enough books to do that and quality audio content is in limited overall supply expected to miss the UNK of book tactile pages and flipping through ve hardly noticed instead ve fallen in love with the form factor reading in bed is much more comfortable than with paper back and my UNK passages are automatically organized and available on my computer for when want to reference something read the screen is easy to read the battery goes forever and it just feels good obviously this is no longer first generation product but UNK and refined reading machine usage tip use site like and their read later UNK to UNK articles you spot online for reading later on your kindle when you get chance one regret not also owning dx now that ve seen the device would love to be able to use it to UNK from the size is perfect for reading and UNK but for putting on UNK and UNK while still being able to read your notes it little small this is use didn UNK but sending document via email is so easy 1 kindel it was gift for my daughter who reads all the time she was always buying more bookcases now all her books are in one UNK electronic devise only problem is now can borrow books from her 1 best gift ever by kids got me the kindel for my birthday it is everything that had expected easy to use easy to read love to be able to stick it in my purse and go only problem is that had to wait to get it because it was out of stock but it was worth the wait 1 kindle UNK you ask me to provide you with feedback concerning my kindle well package arrived last monday addressed to me with kindle in it was delighted and soon was downloading books of every sort especially UNK by UNK for price somewhat next to nothing was just getting UNK with UNK and other UNK UNK when my UNK wife of some 48 years decided she should give my kindle test ride by downloading some ny times best seller about UNK UNK about some UNK or something of that sort hour upon hour the kindle UNK in her hands and not my own so when could not UNK my kindle from her tiny hands in UNK words was not UNK but certainly wasn UNK you can imagine my surprise when my dear who is know to be quite UNK when it comes to the purchase of electronic UNK came up with the solution order one for yourself and so you will find in your UNK another request for UNK delivery of gene UNK please hurry it along you may enter my review as UNK five star 1 the kindle is right up there with the UNK UNK when look back over those things that have changed my life the most UNK is the UNK UNK for long time the UNK machine UNK high position on my list of can do UNK but technology UNK that to mere UNK game changer now along comes the kindle which ve UNK to tied for first place on my list and quite sure it will remain there for the duration might never have bought an reader if hadn moved to UNK after all was quite happy having physical books around installed bookshelves wherever lived and liked looking at my growing collection and even UNK it out from time to time with the UNK of my books to UNK when for space needs the UNK needed UNK and giving books to friends was always pleasure but oh carrying books on the plane from the us to UNK at the rate of six to 12 at time became an increasing nuisance my method was to create an amazon com wish list while was in UNK and then to purchase the books on amazon while in the us and transport them back to UNK in the original shipping box UNK putting the lie to the UNK you can teach an old dog new tricks was not UNK to trying to find an alternative to physical books but didn expect to like it then two things happened first started reading reports in the newspapers and on the internet from people like myself who had lifetime love UNK with books that they actually liked reading on the kindle second my brother visited me in UNK with his kindle in hand and had my first opportunity to hold an reader in my hands and sample reading few pages these experiences lead me to believe that kindle would be okay so after waiting another six months until my recently enlarged supply of books could be read took the plunge the result love my kindle while there are multiple reasons to love the kindle it is worth mentioning first that it actually works this is not something take for granted most technology that buy either doesn work as well as expected or is UNK with continuing difficulties the personal computer is the prime example of device which is difficult to use has UNK UNK needs UNK upgrades and the like getting new computer to work is major task but the kindle worked well from the first moment took it out of the box the quick start guide was model of UNK and clarity and was in the reading business from the get go kindle has figured out how to create an electronic device which mimics physical book the page face is UNK similar to the page of book after small amount of time the feel seems more comfortable than that of many books especially paperbacks and trade editions it feels right in my hands some people have commented that they miss the smell of book but ve never UNK my books and don intend to smell the kindle either the small size but not too small and portability of the kindle are among its major features for me don know how the downloads to the kindle work it technological mystery to me but do know that within 30 seconds after select book it is available to me on my kindle and UNK UNK it works equally as well in UNK as it does in the us the over UNK 000 books available on the kindle are enough for me the cost of the books are always less than the cost of the physical edition and ve found that many books are available free of cost such as the UNK century classic UNK UNK which now reading surprise to me is that UNK newspapers can be downloaded and read at small cost either via subscription or by purchasing individual issues ve taken to reading the sunday nyt at cost of 99 which download at 16 30 UNK time on sunday afternoon which is UNK 30 ny time you can beat that know that there are other readers and that the kindle is not the only game in town but quite satisfied with my decision to stick with the leader made my decision to prefer the kindle based on several factors usually go with the most popular device on the theory that everyone can be wrong the technology UNK of both the nyt and the wsj wrote glowing reviews of the kindle and found the kindle superior to its competitors wanted dedicated reader and not device like the ipad that has multiple functions to distract me and ve UNK with amazon com for many years and know it to be the best commercial site on the internet especially its UNK customer service so in buying the kindle felt that was dealing with an old and UNK friend love my kindle but if had to make choice between the kindle and the UNK UNK still hold on to my UNK UNK 0 it worked for 10 hours and then having waited for whole month for my kindle to arrive was thrilled with it and spent the day reading however while looking for books to buy on the kindle store on my home wifi network it froze after hard reset holding the power slider for 15 seconds the screen went blank and that is how it has stayed UNK experience and probably not one would recommend others trying wait for few months until they have ironed out the problems and then think about it 1 kindle UNK really love my new kindle read my books on the computer for awhile then when its time to be mobile or UNK into bed switch to my kindle and find my page and off go again flying 14 hour flight next month it will be sweet to have light little reader instead of paper novel and won have to carry or buy them at extreme airport prices UNK ve probably told 100 people about this since got it canadians don seem to know about this thing will spread the word 1 was the one who said never get kindle you ve met people like me who say ll never part with real book well you don have to you can still read books as well as kindle books waited two years to get this kindle bought one for my son birthday couple of years ago and have been watching him enjoy it ever since once in awhile pick it up and wonder how like it finally the price came down and it was within my budget to get the kindle cover and warranty let me tell you that since getting it week ago have hardly put it down honestly it loaded up with over 200 free books and has UNK making reading fun also purchased some books and how can you lose for 99 cents each stopped going to the library for variety of reasons and found myself reading less and less but always missed it researched competitor products as well and this seemed to meet my needs best and it does so far am totally delighted ll come back to update after the next couple of weeks and see if have anything to add also debated on the warranty but for over 100 and being small device felt it was good deal since this company has so many positive reviews it an investment in such an enjoyable device for those of you on the fence what do you have to lose oh one small question do have to ask the kindle customer service people is why my book account on the website indicates about 20 more books loaded than my kindle indicates also there are free word games and recently purchased the scrabble game what fun 1 love it love this device have used both the nook and the kindle the kindle is quicker and also lighter plus most of the books looked at were cheaper on the kindle 1 my first reader absolutely amazing super fast content easy to pick up and use right away as am complete reader novice helps if you remember your wireless router UNK lol 1 love at first sight have now officially had my kindle for about hours and must say it was love at first sight as soon as opened the package and turned it on was amazed at the beautiful screen it is so clear couldn believe was looking at something electronic the sizing of the k3 is perfect for me UNK woman with small hands don feel the least bit afraid going to drop it like do with my larger laptop or even some large hardback books did get cover for protection but really see little difference in the weight feel of the kindle with or without it just spent hours reading in the UNK and completely forgot that wasn holding real book no eyestrain or headaches like usually get with computer screen obviously cannot say anything about the long term durability but so far love the kindle and can wait to show it off to my friends 1 worth the money love my kindle its very easy to use am glad it not multi purpose with so many things it lose the real focus it for easy reading so you dont have to carry all your favorite books and quotes around just what need when go on vacation the only thing do wish about the kindle is that is should have backlighting but seriously thats minor issue if you dont have one you better get one 1 kindle brings back the joy of reading kindle gets rid of all reading UNK whatever didn like about reading as an activity changing grip and body position on page turns following the light source taking notes on the book remembering where left off going back to remind myself who character is carrying books around going to the bookstore to get new books all this is gone now it an amazing device don know how it compares to other readers on the market but have absolutely no reason to do the research 1 real nice machine mostly like most everything about the kindle and those are the things other folks like so won repeat them my main gripe is the location of the controls the on off slide UNK is on the bottom if you have the kindle sitting against your leg for instance or your UNK slight move can put it into sleep mode this problem would be eliminated if the UNK were on the top of the kindle not the bottom there are too many page turn UNK and they are too big it easy to turn the page accidentally and why on both sides even UNK can turn the pages easily on the right side think almost 50 UNK of each side is UNK by page turner way too much real estate the good news about these defects are that if you buy the kindle leather cover UNK recommended it much easier to handle the reader without either turning it off or turning page too soon 1 love it after giving poor review for my new kindle locking up must change it first of all the obvious books are great the kindle is great way to read books store books share books with up to devices make notes and book marks will stop there because it has many simple features that UNK to it simplicity and excellence but what is not obvious is the kindle support as good as it gets no wait time customer service is excellent and they will solve your problem house now has kindles and we read our books on our phones and ipods too love sharing books this way with my family buy it now paper books are dead start your new library and quit wasting time and money on paper books 1 love it ve been using the kindle2 since it came out and must say the new generation is an exceptional upgrade using the wifi to download books is UNK fast the faster page turns makes reading more enjoyable now just need to get me case for it and all set for many hours of being lost in great book 1 kindle latest generation was amazed at the speed with which the item was delivered to me in australia courier was at my door within three days after shipment from america the reader is marvelous it was far cheaper than any UNK reader on the market and has more features than most of them its ability to store and play mp3 files and its internet browser were things had not anticipated books are easy to read at least the ones that have been properly formatted and the device is simple to use the built in dictionary access is particularly convenient its capacity is more than adequate am not quite sure why there is UNK but perhaps someday use will be found for it 1 my first kindle and love it this is my first kindle and love reading on it previous generations of kindles were too expensive for me and when the wi fi k3 was introduced jumped on the opportunity to finally own one ordered it on august 23 and expected delivery on sept 17 imagine my surprise when amazon delivered it to me overnight on sept was little apprehensive at first about software reboots after reading the star reviews and my kindle did have to be rebooted twice on the first day but haven had any problems since as UNK downloaded and installed the update last night again with no problems setting up the wi fi connection was no problem at all using an UNK with an airport router wpa2 security settings ve read some reviews that complain about poor build quality but couldn disagree more it seems to be well made and has some heft to it and to people complaining about the lack of number keys you can use the alt key the letters on the top row to type in numbers quickly as shortcut to the symbols window also read somewhere that it was impossible to correctly set the time this can easily be done on the settings menu all in all love using my first kindle even the browser which is basic allows me to catch up on the news and email in pinch prefer to download books using my computer but only because it has larger screen expecting the leather cover light to be delivered today and sure ll like that too so here my star review to counter those star reviews for shipping update ve had my kindle for over month now and still love it there are couple of points like to add however first if you haven already done so upgrade the software to version ve been using this version for almost month and haven had any issues with rebooting or freezes the link with instructions is at http www amazon com gp help customer display html UNK UNK UNK UNK amazon cs is UNK UNK people it seems that the kindle doesn work with apple airport extreme router not true it took me just 30 seconds to connect my kindle wi fi only model to it 1 shipping hello amazon am very dissapointed with your shipping paid 10 00 extra for day shipping ordered the kindle on friday and received it on thursday of the next week we paid the extra money to get the kindle on monday with day shipping thanks UNK 1 everyone should have this new age way of reading don lose your page ever again light weight and easy to carry 1 awesome hey everyone 22 year old college student and just recently purchased the 3g white kindle ve had it for about two weeks and have got to say it is awesome the screen transitions smoothly and the text is crisp and so easy to read the build of the product is sturdy and not cheap at all so don know where other reviewers are getting that from the 3g works perfectly and haven been in an area it doesn pick it up yet also the experimental web browser works like charm and some of the pages load faster than my computer lol adding things from your computer to the kindle is breeze files are added automatically and the machine doesn even need to be restarted have only charged it once so far the battery life is absolutely wonderful have never owned different reader or previous generation kindle but highly recommend the kindle think everyone should have one 1 kindle review love my new kindle just really wish there was way to borrow books from each other this is big issue with kindle as barnes and noble reader has this and people love that 1 very happy bought it have had my kindle for only full day and already know im going to make good use of it my only complaint is the instruction UNK it gives very little information and what info it does give leads me to more questions called the UNK free number on the back and the people were great very helpful and understanding would recommend the kindle highly to anyone who asks 1 awesome ok it been out of its box since UNK ve purchased one kindle UNK but downloaded 10 free classics ve long wanted to read screen is fabulous just like paper the only thing not 100 happy with is that it is UNK heavier than what was expecting but other than that it is my new favourite thing thank you amazon no more books cluttering up my coffee table 1 love it love my kindle the contrast is much better than the last generation for that alone it worth the upgrade this page http www amazon com ie UNK UNK UNK is great UNK for free books you can have all the classics in the palm of your hand for free charged it when purchased it and ve been through two books since not nearly in need of charge let see the ipad or nook do that additionally can use my blackberry charger as it takes the same micro usb connector there lots more to say but for 139 you can find out for yourself one request for the next version is UNK back light 1 better than before if you love to read this kindle is the best bought the graphite 3g wifi kindle after UNK the second generation kindle for year or so the screen is definitely sharper with higher contrast the type has enormous range from very tiny to huge to read comfortably need larger print or to wear reading glasses and the kindle ability to adjust font size allows me to readily enjoy reading at any time of day without the need for glasses in the evening when read typically boost the font size up tad to give my tired eyes break and with the new generation screen it is definitely sharper reading the size of the new one is great like it even better than the previous one in that it is now about exactly the size of typical paper back bought the lighted leather cover the next and previous page buttons are much improved the older kindle required you to definitely push down and click to turn the page the new one is effortless sounds silly but it does serve to accomplish amazon goal of taking the device out of the reading experience it took me bit of getting use to for the new button locations for home menu and such but like the new positions better definitely like the previous and next page buttons being located on both sides of the screen bought the graphite color for change from the UNK color like it the wifi works well on my home network and downloading and browsing are faster the switch to 3g is automatic when outside wifi 1 nearly perfect stars while the 3rd generation kindle is the first one ve owned it isn the first used earlier this year purchased the second generation unit for my father and used his once or twice the older kindle was nice but didn feel would use it enough to justify spending nearly 300 on something like that for myself hadn given kindle another thought till the app for android was released at which time started reading on my phone it was okay for short periods of time but it made me realize how special the kindle was luckily when that time came the 3rd gen had just been announced so didn buy the previous model ordered my kindle wifi 3g after putting in few extra hours at work and received it few weeks later since ve gotten it ve been reading more than had in years pros beautiful high contrast screen fast page turns works with my UNK one mobile hotspot feature so using UNK 3g instead of at at times plenty of storage space small and lightweight good looking hardware con not alot of supported formats no epub support which knew before making my purchase my only real issue is that for the most part limited to amazon bookstore which is fine 99 of the time but when search for book that isn available forced to carry around book in addition to my ereader which kind of defeats the purpose but in truth no device is perfect and if the only flaw is that it doesn have every single book because it doesn support every format and some publishers are dragging their feet on releasing kindle friendly versions then that is flaw that okay with 1 have had my kindle 3g wireless one week ve had my kindle 3g wireless for one week and am very happy with it so glad that opted to spend 50 more for the 3g don have to worry about finding wifi hot spot the downloads are UNK fast downloaded the complete works of UNK UNK and don think it took more than 30 seconds and was only about 99 in price didn have UNK and went shopping online and didn want to pay UNK for the kindle with light went to barnes and noble and bought their nook book cover for 29 it much more secure and has very good support elastic on top and nice holder for the bottom went to target and found terrific clip on light in their UNK UNK for 95 it works great go to barnes and noble website and see the book cover for 29 see what you think it very nice hoping that kindle improves the text to speech voices they still sound very robotic and some words are UNK UNK may buy the kindle dx later on to read mags and pdf files better still thinking about it hope this helps little bit kindle is still considered the reader ps any suggestions on how to extend the battery life ve already turned off wi fi but when in that mode to search books it really UNK up the battery life thanks in advance 1 how an reader should be while for me nothing can replace the feel and smell of real book ve always wanted way to read multiple books conveniently without constantly UNK them about wherever go enter the reader it promises an ability to hold many books it has pleasing paper like screen and it small and portable decided after seeing the second generation kindle that really should take the plunge on this third generation am thoroughly pleased the reader itself has phenomenal screen one you have to really see to believe was UNK with digital paper and was UNK UNK about the claims of ultimate readability and beautiful book like appearance but seeing it for the first time on generation two kindle absolutely sold me on the technology if you haven seen real digital paper yet then get yourself to the nearest store selling an reader and have look it is absolutely amazing placing the screen of my third generation kindle next to second generation kindle can see very much difference even though know it supposed to be higher contrast screen there little difference but you practically need UNK UNK to see it it small reader without any sort of case the kindle is UNK light and easy to hold with the leather case it almost UNK in weight and becomes tad more cumbersome but you re UNK little bit of weight for some much needed protection so it worth the sacrifice ve managed to find great many free books of interest to load up into the kindle and buying books using the kindle store is breeze almost too easy really find myself having to be careful with the kindle book store as you will occasionally find books that are identical in price or even higher in price than their paper counterparts if it book think going to want to hold onto for years to come paper is the only way to go if it book just want to read now and possibly again later or refer to later then it makes sense for me to buy the kindle version if it cheaper it would be ideal if there were some sort of kindle virtual library where could check out book for week for free read it and then check it back in later on think UNK for kindle books perhaps that something that will appear later on having the kindle around means find myself relaxing in some down time with book more often than would before simply because don have to carry multiple books around with me if have half hour free at lunch can break out the kindle and read its battery life is such that really don have to worry about charging very often maybe once every couple of weeks if keep the wifi active while reading really do like the little box and consider it an excellent purchase with several stores now talking about carrying kindles in the store if you re at all interested in what the hype is all about you UNK it to yourself to UNK down there and check it out first hand 1 dont cheap out buy the 3g love my kindle but wished wouldn have UNK out with the one that was not 3g do not have wireless at home currently so have to go to the coffee shop to download books while know can go buy wireless router for the extra 50 can take the router with me when go on vacation sure many places now have free wireless but to just have it at moments notice was probably worth the extra 50 1 quick review everything else has been said to death so ll simply say like it it my first ebook and feel no need to go back to paperbacks it very easy to read the only reason UNK off star is it lack of organization it like having an ipod with no playlists almost you can create collections but they are like single folders playlist with no sub folder selection and you have to do this on the kindle imagine apple forcing users to create playlists on the iphone ipod and not let you do it in itunes amazon needs either software package to allow us to manage our books or provide one online many of the books read are in series some 12 books long it would have been nice if amazon had such tag on the books and allowed you to sort group by this perhaps this can be fixed with future os update 0 love it but only received it yesterday already love it so for that give it at least stars but will hold back at least of those because there are lot of books that can buy because am living in europe annoying already complained to customer support 1 better than kindle maybe bit had owned my kindle for about two weeks when the kindle was announced big decision return my kindle and not have it for my vacation or keep it and pass up on the innovations in the new model opted for the return and as UNK can contrast the two models in case you are UNK similar decision used the kindle for windows version on my netbook during vacation the reduction in size is plus the new model is lighter and more comfortable to hold note if you bought cover for your kindle you are going to have to UNK UNK it to get it to hold your kindle or buy new one you might want to check some of the ebay offerings for better pricing the screen is UNK better personally don prefer the feel or the layout of the keyboard on the new model but don do notes and mail on my kindle so this is not major issue the navigation buttons have taken bit of getting used to and because of fairly large male fingers find have to use my UNK to activate directional buttons may actually prefer the old joystick kind of set up have the wifi only version and it works fine except that the signal is rarely very strong even close to router this could be improved for me the 3g was not worth 50 but it was nice to have on the kindle the page turn buttons are smaller and have occasionally turned page inadvertently when UNK the device on the edge if the page turns are faster and believe they are they don make much of an impact on normal reading this review may seem like am UNK the kindle by UNK praise that is not the case give it five stars as fine reader however would have given the kindle the same rating there is no game changer upgrade in the kindle for me and if you are UNK the upgrade decision hope this helps size screen and price are the major factors to consider have been intrigued by the ipad UNK on tv but at 500 800 this is different toy for different time not sure why amazon is UNK it in the beside the pool ad better to go after the real competitors nook and sony 1 my first kindle better than expected this is much better than having books clutter up our home this is really quality product thank you amazon 0 if it worked it would be my favorite on my third k3 had k1 never got around to getting k2 and was delighted to order k3 the form factor is excellent small light the contrast is gorgeous they finally have reasonable storage however the first one crashed and froze and crashed and froze until it turned UNK off although fully charged and won turn on again replacement has UNK effect it sort of UNK out and UNK rapidly replacement freezes and restarts every time try to turn the page on each restart it has different number of items listed sometimes it restarts just sitting there so out of have been bad this is the first day ve had and the battery has gone from fully charged to 30 in hours wireless off amazon now says it software issue which absolutely makes sense but it hard for me to understand how issues of this kind got missed on testing this isn or shouldn be new to amazon expected issues like this with the k1 because that really was early UNK but that thing just UNK on short battery life UNK memory and all at least it works so now per support all can do wait and see if the update they re pushing in the next week will resolve all this stuff and UNK whatever new problems the update will bring at this point the UNK is very definitely off the UNK and not UNK away the box the latest k3 arrived in because right now don believe amazon can make this right very much regret how much of my content is tied to amazon proprietary format and the only reason waiting this out is because ve got years of purchases in the amazon format that don want to walk away from but getting there the longer this goes on the closer am to UNK in the UNK with amazon it lovely little device to hold and look at but none of the ones amazon has sent me work so be very sure that you re willing to invest hours in calls and emails to support with no UNK result before you buy the folks at kindle support are being sweet but honestly got the first k3 less than week ago 1 great reader but books more expensive than thought ve had my kindle for couple of weeks now and really enjoy the reading experience as others have said the text is crisp and easy on the eyes the size is perfect absolutely perfect it light but wish it were just little lighter still three things disappoint me many of the books want to buy are actually cheaper as paperbacks UNK don get that the cost of an electronic book should be less you can share books knew that when bought it so no surprise but it would be nice feature if could loan book to friend with kindle and while on loan the book would not be available on my kindle just like real book you can download from public library still looked at the various readers before deciding on the kindle and overall extremely pleased with this little device it gem 1 excellent product poor pdf reader the long wait finally paid off enjoy this product very much my one gripe is the pdf reader amazon please allow for custom zooming and not just the fixed sizes not only are the zoom areas fixed in size they can only be adjusted to the left or right of pdf document not the center this makes it so the kindle is useless for most of my pdfs where the content is UNK on the page and not split into UNK 1 kindle well worth the money this is my first reader and very impressed with it so far went to barnes and noble and checked out the nook but was not too impressed after handling it also went to the apple store and checked out the ipad which was very nice but found it to be just bigger itouch it almost has too much going on the thing that sold me on the kindle was that it syncs all your devices including my itouch amazon seems to have more material available as well love the portability and have been enjoying the week newspaper UNK it very pleasant to read UNK to the eyes and like so many have said in these reviews it seems to draw you in get more out of newspaper content now without all the colors and pictures but especially love not having to be distracted by advertising initially had problem with the device almost out of the box with it constantly rebooting this UNK until thoroughly read the UNK user manual and discovered the soft reset feature happy to report that after couple of weeks it has not rebooted once and consider the problem resolved for folks that are interested in true reader and are watching their budget the kindle will not let you down 1 keeps getting better kindle2 user since UNK 09 kindle user since 27 aug 10 the improvements are significant the best being the improved contrast UNK UNK read naked kindle as the size weight and page buttons are so beautifully designed this time around battery life is fine but use larger font so obviously more page turns not deal breaker thanks amazon for taking the k2 to the next level and not charging for it 1 better than even high expectations ve been watching the reader market since sony first offering but was never tempted until this generation of kindle earned rave reviews and also entered minimal pain price point UNK with all the positive reviews UNK this device and think it still has much more potential as an entertainment device it isn meant to be tablet it is reading device and very good one at that did have defective unit arrive the first time the right hand page flip buttons did not function at all everything else seemed fine called amazon and they walked me through upgrading to the early preview code but that didn correct the problem so they promptly replaced it over night ve been very satisfied thus far and am very very glad purchased it amazon customer service was top notch the UNK features of the reader the ability to play simple games and browse the web are nice add UNK that will use from time to time don mind the monochrome display at all and have in fact been UNK at how good images look on it it is as readable if not more so than your typical mass paperback it is wonderful mature product that happily recommend to anyone who loves to read 1 the kindle as tool for grad students and UNK going to limit my focus to using the kindle in grad school or research for what are probably obvious reasons the ability to get books instantly including many books free studying english was part of what UNK me to finally get kindle also really wanted one the ability to search is hugely hugely important for my research though used it to help me prove point in paper many times when it would otherwise have taken hours of research to find what was looking for now that they ve added searching to the desktop app it even more useful for research the lack of that feature at one time was significant flaw find it quite useful for reading in general and have also read some books on my droid which was surprisingly good for the purpose do have two major issues with the kindle for grad school or research purposes one is the lack of page numbers which makes UNK problematic have not yet found an ideal solution though combination of google books and the search feature for books on amazon usually gets me page number for the text UNK UNK UNK etc will need to solve this maybe in UNK with amazon the other issue is more UNK few book UNK use the ability to create chapters so it impossible to know how many pages are left in section or chapter while reading something UNK this makes it frustrating distracting where in book you can see visually how much UNK is left UNK you can simply UNK through looking for something though that just something to get used to bottom line very glad have it and it been great tool people working in other UNK may probably will have issues with literature availability but the ability to search alone makes it an UNK tool 1 love my new kindle previously owned the first generation kindle but wanted something little slimmer and faster so ordered the latest generation wow do love it it so slim it easily fits in my purse and even my UNK pocket ve always been an avid reader but now can have dozens of books at my finger tips use it whenever have wait of even few minutes breaks at work waiting for ride in line at the UNK store at UNK love getting my books on kindle in seconds no fighting UNK or going out in the bad weather what pleasure this weekend downloaded one of the word games for it too is that every fun it sure had me UNK my brain UNK keep up the great work amazon if you don have kindle get one thought miss holding real book but don love it and almost UNK age trust me once you hold one and use it you ll love the feel and the convenience 1 great device and couple of startup concerns resolved this is the first reader ve ever used so can compare with others this is only my second day with it just note to any other UNK out there was not in wi fi location when first started it up could not create collections and could only access one page in the settings menu for example could not set the clock was concerned that got UNK and would have to go through all the trouble of UNK it but the next day found wi fi hotspot and as soon as made the wireless connection everything worked perfectly no problem creating collections and all three pages of the settings menu appeared so UNK of relief and very happy with this purchase 1 just bought my 5th kindle have been voracious reader all my life my husband and were early UNK of the kindle and loved it from the beginning personally actually think it is easier to read book on the kindle than in print the hardcover books would get so heavy when would read in bed and UNK the paperback books when would fold the cover pages over to be able to hold it in one hand it was UNK as we were able to UNK room in house where we stored all our books we now have hundreds of books on our kindles bought the kindle and gave my kindle to my UNK daughter who also UNK through books in record time now we all can be reading the same book at the same time having only bought copy in the past we either had to buy multiple copies expensive when buying hardcovers or wait till someone was done reading it and passed it on and now we have upgraded yet again to the kindle lighter and quicker than either the first or second gen it is pleasure to hold with or without the cover and amazon got the cover perfect for this version available with or without light and with locking hooks to hold the kindle securely in the cover the previous versions are going to family as well so we all can be reading the same book at the same time for those technology UNK of which am one be warned you can replace the kindle with the ipad am huge fan of the ipad and use mine constantly but the kindle works better for reading it just feels so much closer to the book reading experience except easier the ipad also wears out my eyes as does any computer screen but find the kindle does not and it is true you can read the ipad out in the sun don use my kindle for surfing the web or mailing just use it to read exactly what it was designed for 1 love it was unsure about this really liked my ipad reader but the kindle is just plain and simple better way to read battery length and size make this keeper also the extra money for the 3g connection is worth it sam 1 the kindle is awesome am serious UNK with very UNK UNK so when amazon announced the 3rd generation kindle UNK with the decision to order one since already owned the 2nd generation kindle my UNK toward the 3rd generation kindle was based on the UNK of wi fi larger storage capacity and its UNK size received the 3rd generation on thursday and am very impressed with the product the replacement of the navigation joystick with the lower profile way controller is welcome addition just the smaller size makes it easier to hold for longer periods of time was sold on the 2nd gen kindle and the 3rd gen kindle has UNK amazon position as the leader in the reader market 1 newest UNK kindle this is my first kindle and ordered the 3g model love it the battery lasts long time 1 great reader this is my first kindle got the white 3g wifi as gift from my brother am really impressed with comfort of reading on the kindle have been using it non stop since monday and so far my experience has been great like how the kindle is constant weight and size versus paperbacks that can sometimes be too heavy also like being able to choose my font size the dictionary feature is very useful and allows you to look up words without UNK your reading the screen is excellent and turning pages are quick have not experienced any problems though haven used the web browser yet and to be honest don really intend to bought this to read on and believe it serves this purpose UNK highly recommended 1 UNK dream come true when was kid was bookworm would read multiple books at once and going to the library once week wasn quite enough for me sometimes if were asked what thought heaven would be like said hoped it would be like one book with UNK pages that kept growing and changing and adding new characters and you never run out of story that what having the kindle feels like to me won ever run out of books to read and can keep turning pages for as long as like all within the same cover the text is clear the UNK are excellent particularly like the pages the kindle puts up when you are UNK for while it easy to use and all the things UNK UNK said but to me really it like dream come true million books immediately all in one place and reading experience that as close to reading real book as you could imagine the page turn button is even in an intuitive place ve only had it for day but can UNK that love the kindle immensely it major game changer 1 great reader but don assume it is the best for you UNK the best reader yet but it has some slight design UNK that make it UNK ergonomically uncomfortable it is very small and very thin which most reviewers are UNK as an UNK positive would UNK say it is too small for some people however the device is so thin and the bezel is so small find it bit difficult to hold in one hand without wanting my thumb to rest on the screen for natural hold the nook on the other hand while slightly too heavy has much more natural feel in the hand with its thickness and UNK back the build quality appears to be pretty well done it feels solid but do have concern for its long term durability the entire body is plastic that combined with its thinness make me leery simple drop on your UNK floor or accidental sit on the couch could instantly crack this thing in two or at least it feels like it the page turn buttons also have cheap feel to them and do not have satisfying click or surface area as compared to the nook all that being said though this is an excellent device when it comes down to its core purpose reading the screen is very crisp and clear to read on the page turns and navigation are fast for the most part and the amazon store is excellent it is still disappointing that there is no epub support so one is locked into the amazon UNK but that is not bad UNK to be locked into personally do not hold too much weight into the UNK that amazon store is superior to other stores my searches for common books from my UNK list on kobo and found that all three UNK either had or did not have the books was looking for except for one book my list included recently released as well as some older books the one book that was on amazon kindle store and not on kobo or was UNK of the three UNK the UNK in the amazon store from my experience were all less popular or UNK books would be UNK though to say that it is as far ahead of the competition as the marketing and online hype seem to UNK unless you are looking at ink screens side by side did not notice significant difference in the new ink screen to the older ones at the end of the day the inability to comparison shop for books at other stores or use UNK for library books and side load them on the device as you can with the sony nook or kobo readers is really something to consider as consumer looking for an reader that may be deal breaker depending upon your reading habits or how you purchase your books currently if you are the type of person who currently purchases all of their books from amazon then this is no brainer however if you are UNK in the or borders brick and UNK stores and buy your paper books there you might pause on the kindle offers in store deals such as free coffee or UNK if you bring nook into the store they also offer in store reading of books for free you can also purchase book from the border store for example and load it onto sony reader nook or kobo also if you heavily use your local library to get your books only those readers that support UNK can do that the kindle is not one of those readers would highly recommend anyone who is heavy reader to really look at their existing consumption habits for reading and find the reader UNK that UNK your existing reading habits it is out there and if you are already UNK in an UNK such as borders your local library seriously take that into account when making purchase however if you already buy all of your books online from amazon then you have nothing to lose with the kindle and at 139 to get in the game it is very affordable 1 stars this is my first kindle when it first arrived did have issues with it freezing etc but customer service was star also they helped me immediately fix it and they contacted me several times by email and phone for follow up when UNK them about the need to return and how long it would take to get another one they said if would need another one they would rush ship it so would have it within day or two have had it since august 31st and cannot imagine not having it before had the kindle had bibles UNK books UNK books novels UNK books etc now just have my little UNK of black leather UNK with my kindle inside it is the best and you cannot go wrong 1 amazing apple like quality and ease of use ve owned all UNK of the kindle yes even the UNK model this time amazon UNK it they learned from apple and decided to listen to their customers the insanely great screen contrast is now truly as good as reading printed book huge improvement from the last model speed you can actually move the cursor around effectively now and page turns will keep up even with speed readers size tiny the screen is the same size as the previous models but feels bigger because the rest of the device is so small think it as small as it can effectively get now you have to hold on to it somehow ergonomics buttons are finally well placed and quiet great for night readers sharing UNK with UNK storage holds more books no more UNK around with sd cards battery life long enough that power UNK are no longer needed for one week vacations software already upgraded on kindle collections feature is my favorite amazon took page from apple iphone and made it very easy to UNK content to new hardware price very reasonable for price UNK buyers wifi only makes sense for me the convenience of always connected is worth the extra few bucks and one of the key features of the kindle last two items on my wishlist could they please build in an integrated screen protector maybe like digital UNK have for their UNK that would cover the screen when you have it turned off then the need for cover would go away color screen we can dream this is probably years away this version of the kindle is like mary UNK practically perfect in every way 1 new kindle just received my new kindle my first it is very light weight adjusted the font and was pleased at how user friendly it is ordered my first book and started reading within couple of minutes wow thank you amazon UNK 1 new kindle better than expected the kindle has been even more amazing than expected from viewing the video before ordering this is my first reader and it took me several years to decide to even try one but am ever glad did the kindle seamlessly UNK between wi fi and 3g depending upon location have yet to be in location where did not have fast connection speed weekend wall street journal downloaded in about 10 seconds was easy to navigate and the photos were much better resolution that you see in the print version purchased two new books both at significantly lower price than hardback and each downloaded much faster than the minute promised also downloaded classics which were free in about minutes total the contrast of the new ink is nearly identical to that of most print books except of course now can change the font size line spacing etc having instant access to the oxford dictionary without losing your spot is just unbelievable the smaller size weight and thickness make the kindle very comfortable to hold for long periods of time despite few reservations based on comments of other customers also purchased the amazon leather cover with built in reading light the cover holds the kindle securely and the light is effective quite bright and UNK the entire screen in full dark room really appreciate that the cover keeps the entire unit thin and lightweight plus no batteries ever needed for the light the kindle is easy to use right out of the box encountered one small problem could not resolve via the manual reached out to kindle customer service via cell UNK the UNK could not have been UNK or more helpful had the issue resolved in under minutes my only suggested improvements would be to use better grade of leather providing UNK feel on the cover after all it is 50 and work to make all published books available on kindle 0 days and no shipment 1st last amazon order days and no shipment or shipment date this is my first amazon order and my last 1 the best purchase ever made better than expected received my k3 friday absolutely love it it is so easy to use downloads fast with the 3g have had no problems so far it is fabulous the best purchase ever the ink is beautiful love the fact that can read in just about any position not always possible when trying to maneuver UNK dead tree book had hard time deciding on the color chose white and don regret it if you re debating whether to get one or not just get it you have 30 days if you re not satisfied but think you will be happy reading 1 kindle impressive for 1st time buyer this is my first reader and can say thrilled with it received my kindle right before the UNK day weekend and have barely put it down much to the UNK of my husband lol it did have wi fi registration issue same issue many had when received it but contacted amazon kindle support and with in week they had it fixed with an update they also called me back UNK now that great service enjoy reading so much but my home was being UNK with books waited did not let my friend talk me into buying nook last december and glad did the kindle has many aspects like books download in seconds so many books to choose from free books and books self published authors on amazon can use the internet shop the kindle store not be carrying around ton of books and so much more got the 3g wi fi model since way out in the UNK near UNK reception is great for 3g which surprised me and it connected perfectly to my wi fi as soon as the update was received also think the price is fine for what it does the ink format makes it easy on my old eyes and it great to be able to adjust the text size so can read without glasses don mind that it all black and grey if need to have colors ll have to buy the book for now maybe in the future there will be color who knows but for now kindle is how ll be reading books newspapers and mags 1 the new kindle is better than physical books the new kindle is my first reader and was very excited to try it out even though was bit skeptical about the device replacing books for me ll keep this review short and sweet by saying that it performs beyond my expectations and am very pleased with the kindle especially for only 139 this is dream to read on the battery lasts forever and it is light and comfortable to read with this will definitely be replacing paper books for me whenever possible can recommend the kindle highly enough for anyone who likes to read five stars ps amazon has also provided amazing customer service my kindle wasn even suppose to ship until sept 4th and it arrived on august 30th thanks amazon 1 super fast delivery bought my kindle sunday in the afternoon and on wednesday was at bed reading ebooks from it in UNK superb UNK thanks the kindle itself its very nice device have already downloaded more than 5000 ebooks top books of the world so have material to read for 300 years UNK software is available to use other ebooks formats in our nice kindle the only thing do not like is the zoom it can only go from 100 to 150 and so on for some pdf docs would need something like UNK UNK zoom bar in UNK of zoom steps another bad things is that the web explorer and music player are under experimental they should be easier to access overall recomend this device great value for the price in my case ve already covered the cost have more than 5000 books to read for free 1 my precious kindle are so awesome had to pre order this as soon as it came up on amazon this is my third version and my UNK second version we love them all 0 losing place this unit was fine except that it continually would lose my place in the book that was being read it got so bad that had to keep writing down my place id so that could return to the right page when it would drop me out returned the unit and after weeks there has been no UNK of my credit for the return which included the cover 1 kindle 3g is great first reader experience in UNK my first reader is the latest generation kindle 3g and glad of my purchase researched various digital readers and closely compared the new 3g kindle to the nook the deciding factors for me to go with the kindle were its smaller size less weight and battery size and so glad paid little extra for the 3g wireless version it must if you don have wireless at home like me ve been trying it out for month now and absolutely love my new kindle also purchased the UNK leather cover which gives it book feel and added protection the contrast is good in low light and bright sunlight and downloading books takes less than minute on average about 30 seconds from when purchase it online via my computer my purpose was to get wireless reader just for novels and so far the kindle has exceeded my expectations was hesitant at first thinking there is no way would rather read book via an reader versus paperback book but proved myself wrong can see where the kindle might not be the best device for reading magazines but that doesn matter to me since have no desire to read electronic magazines the only complaint have is that the included usb wall charger did not charge with any wall UNK in my house it only charged via usb cable to my pc but amazon great customer service quickly sent me replacement cable for the faulty one and the new replacement charger works perfectly charging from both my wall UNK and pc the other feature that miss having is the capability of playing UNK on it since the newest kindle version doesn have the numbers displayed on the keypad assuming the number line was removed to make the new kindle smaller and lighter weight but too bad the designers couldn have done this without removing the lines of numbers purchased the graphite kindle 3g with the non light apple green leather cover 1 kindle is great well waited long time to go to the dark side and buy kindle it arrived on friday and when tried to use it for the 1st time today sunday it froze up and had to hold the power button down to get it to shut off per the troubleshooting page now it won turn back on called customer service and they very quickly told me that they were sending out new kindle and should receive it within days seemed odd that they would immediately ship out new one waiting for the broken one to arrive after reading the reviews it looks like they have many quality issues with this new version told them that really hoped the new one lasted longer than days and perhaps they might want to work the bugs out of something rather than shipping defective product 10 UNK kindle yesterday and right out of the box it wouldn work charged it up and the way toggle switch was UNK UNK called cs thinking have to get kindle at this point made UNK to not throw in the UNK and just return it no matter what was going to get working unit called cs and they had me do another hard reboot and it came to life so far it is day and it seems to be doing okay have started to read my 1st download and have found it is on par with reading paperback not sure what is up the complaints on the font type do wish there was backlight for night reading but know those just suck your battery power down the amazon cs was very helpful and UNK though it took me bit to locate the phone to talk to live body on the website oddly kindle did not come with the user manual and was missing part of the charging plug adapter luckily had held onto the ones from kindle part of final UNK is making sure all parts are in the box in new units and this should have not been shipped out missing stuff have not had to return items to amazon before so was surprised on the quickness of receiving before had been returned had UNK UNK in my 1st post nice aspect of customer UNK though am going to upgrade this to today since it had to be given UNK to work properly at the start and will UNK review my rating again in the next couple of days as will have more time to use it over the weekend 21 10 ve had kindle since the UNK and must say that am impressed with it the battery lasts about days the wifi on all the time if turned it off am sure it would last the 10 as advertised it has only rebooted itself time in the weeks ve had it am staying away from the beta stuff as think that is what killed kindle the search function is bit UNK but its easy to surf amazon from any computer and the delivery to the kindle is pretty UNK overall am pretty impressed with it so far and am excited to get rid of the clutter of all my paperbacks am upgrading my rating to from an original rating of would give it but since kindle died and kindle needed UNK think is as high as will go on it 1 blew me away sold my k2 and had to wait weeks for my k3 and absolutely love it it was definitely worth the wait everything that has been said about it is the absolute truth the 3g connection is way faster screen resolution UNK better and it is so much lighter have read some comments regarding screen freezing up slow page turning etc but have not experienced any of them it lives up to all the hype and then some 1 fantastic and so easy easy easy have been using my kindle for months now and am blown away by it the ease of reading is UNK can change the font size for tired eyes can change the layout for ease of holding depending on how sitting or laying and most fun of all can cross sort my books into categories for easy UNK reading on the kindle is very easy on the eyes much more so than had expected while the next page button is little UNK than anticipated it still the UNK click to change pages back and forth having instant access to dictionary has UNK my vocabulary immensely previously would be satisfied with UNK idea of word meaning but now look up everything don know for definite downloading books is another unbelievably easy feature be it purchasing books from amazon downloading free books from project gutenberg or dropping documents into the kindle via usb it is all so simple the five way button is responsible for the only minor gripe that have had that being that if pressed certain way am taken to the next chapter when what meant to do was scroll down to check word have found that frustrating but certainly not worth the loss of star read on my laptop and pc versions as well as this kindle and do find that it takes 24 hours or more for changes in reading location to be recognized and sync able but again this is very minor thing and am easily able to find my place on the hand held kindle by entering the location number or doing word search while will never get rid of real books entirely the kindle has opened up new world of reading for me making it so pleasantly easy am truly in love with this little device 1 amazing reading device have my new kindle since last week and absolutely love it tried all the features and everything is working fine the 3g is very useful for downloading books everywhere in an instant and without UNK each time different wi fi settings even if it really easy to do the clarity of the screen even outside with the sun is great and the weight of the device make reading for long period of time really wonderful the battery charge with the wireless turn on last me over week with turning the device off once day and two more days with the wireless off think it very good score the only improvement that could think of for another generation is maybe the touch screen like the ipod to make navigation little more easy instead of using the arrows also know that the price would not be the same as it is now but would be ready to pay for it finally ll say that it the best buy for me this year 1 kindle have been addicted to this thing since got it few weeks ago it is easy to read from and downloading books to it is simple ve had no problems whatsoever with it and am definitely recommending the kindle to everyone 1 love my kindle am really enjoying my kindle take it everywhere with me and it seems to work whenever have enough light to read by normally it is my first kindle and find it very easy to hold with one hand read without fumbling with pages and read at night while my husband is sleeping 1 kindle wi fi let me begin by saying that love my kindle the operation is smooth the device is light it is simple to use had thought about buying nook almost did in fact found that the kindle selection of books for me is much better and cheaper however looking into the book selection is must barnes and noble has slightly different selection than amazon amazon suits my UNK more also decided that too many people found the nook touch screen too UNK tried the device at barnes and noble and felt the same way you would touch the screen for one book and find the menus UNK the kindle have found to be much more responsive my only warning is that you must have wireless network in place to complete registration the kindle description states that it will sync with the usb cable and allow you to purchase books via usb all true but you cannot complete registration of your device to get to that point without the wireless network and UNK you will probably never use the usb after installing the wireless network the ease of use is amazingly simple luckily for me was looking to install the wireless network the same time bought my kindle if this is concern would look into the 3g did not go this route because the 3g quality in my area is poor the 3g device is completely wireless though that being said have not found any negatives with my kindle when this device wears out will definitely buy newer version in the future without hesitation 1 pleased consumer have to say that after reading many reviews since its released and receiving my kindle about weeks ago and days earlier than expected that am very pleased with this purchase have been interested in the kindle since it was first released but little UNK about the price was almost ready to pull the trigger on k2 when the k3 was announced am very happy waited as my UNK account has UNK about the product it has had few minor UNK here and there didn download full book when purchased and froze once however these things are to be expected from piece of technology that gets constant use mean who hasn had computer cell phone tv or some other form of technology lock up on them at least once right the thing is can seem to put it down ve read twice as many books in the time that have owned it than in the same time UNK over this summer when was not working school teacher by trade there is just something about holding the kindle and clicking through pages that can seem to let go of it the battery life is very good needed full charges once after purchase and once since once figured out that turning off the wifi saves it tremendously it is very easy to navigate and organize books onto categories like to name them after character or an author could be any happier for the mere 189 paid when continue to see and here about the problems people have had with the nook at 10 more not to knock the nook also bought the lighted leather cover and the extra clip to keep it secured to the back of the cover the cover gives me piece of mind and the light is bonus as don have to UNK light onto it or worry about extra batteries am definitely not UNK for amazon products but truly am enjoying this purchase 1 great this is my 2nd kindle used to have 2nd kindle this new one is great it better in almost every aspect than the one that had it crashed once but the problem seems to be solved right now reccomend this product for everyone who enjoys good reading and nothing else 0 can appreciate amazon practice this review is not about the product but on amazon UNK order status of the item was shipped for past days with no change in status for day shipping should have received it days ago as of now ups didn even UNK the product for shipping can understand that amazon is trying to lock out the user from UNK the order not sure if this will help so much 1 k3 the next generation review summary when first reviewed my kindle three weeks back it was extremely buggy unstable and kept rebooting am happy to note that most of those issues have been addressed but am still testing the k3 UNK am UNK to write this review for two reasons first and foremost this is fabulous device for readers waited out the k1 and gifted the k2 but for myself opted for the 3rd generation kindle the second wanted to UNK everyone about the UNK of being on the UNK edge since when first got the device it was not UNK well at all however that seems to have been fixed for the most part do want to point out that am still getting reboots but they are far reduced the last reboot occurred recently as was browsing UNK document that had been converted to azw for the kindle so the pros great contrast this is my first reader so am being spoiled by what is obviously well refined screen page turning is almost perfect could be faster but at least it doesn UNK like some have seen the kindle UNK is UNK it took me less than an hour to get 20 books on my k3 three UNK of which were free as they were in the public domain did you know everything from little women to 20 000 UNK under the sea is free click away you will go crazy like kid in toy store with all the free books to choose from have the wifi only UNK and it works perfectly for me even with hidden ssid and wpa2 UNK here in the middle east since am an american UNK really appreciate the mail documents to the free kindle mail address feature have read tons of work related and other pdf ms word documentation that would have otherwise printed out or viewed on pc it really is something that adds value to your life no longer need my laptop everywhere can read stuff on the bus that needs to be reviewed before meeting now just tell my friends you have to UNK their UNK or mail addresses in your kindle account to mail document to my kindle if they want me to look at it the battery life is UNK it lasts forever and ever couple of weeks at least for occasional reading week if you are heavy reader and this is with the wifi on always leave mine on the web browser may be experimental but it works surprisingly well you can actually browse any text based sites with ease and those formatted for mobility are even better for that collections is good feature and nice way to organize your stuff the text to speech feature may be UNK and sounds mechanical but has great potential can see why it has the audio book publishers up in arms even though to me at the moment it UNK them no UNK whatsoever the mechanical male or female voice just cannot as of yet compete with the UNK and UNK that the human voice UNK the mp3 playback is nice to have but don see myself ever using it it too cumbersome to move the files to the kindle even after you move the files you can see anything and you just have play and pause control over your UNK no jumping through playlist or anything it like an ipod shuffle without the shuffle or feedback and now the cons kindle UNK team what the UNK were you thinking releasing the firmware that came with the launch when UNK the kindle store after receiving my device and was counting the k3 rebooted on me five times it did the same thing twice as read the girl with the UNK UNK and of course the webkit browser is experimental so don mind that it also rebooted my kindle twice update this issue appears to be resolved my device is now actually usable for long periods of time whereas before it was not after three weeks of usage find the back forward buttons to be bit too UNK they need to provide more tactile feedback the accessories are rip off 59 for case with light isn that like almost half of what paid for my kindle is that how much it costs to import amazon want you to make money but come on this is UNK it almost like amazon is trying the old hand of UNK UNK printers and the ink UNK situation sell the hardware ultra cheap and make up for it via the supplies ok fine you are UNK us with the dead author UNK but can you put them in the dozens rather than single UNK or as another reviewer UNK let us choose our own or how about world clock for UNK out loud with an international UNK UNK UNK for me want to see everyone from UNK UNK to pearl buck come on guys it can be that hard put the stuff up for free in the kindle store and let your customers choose if they want this or that this is minor con but the overall speed of the device could use 30 increase and think then it would be perfect wish there was way to make the cursor move faster from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen it goes down or up one line at time which can be frustrating can seem to sort the kindle search results via price or reviews etc that may just be me though edit as the UNK below pointed out want to sort results by pricing because it UNK difficult to find the free books on the kindle store amazon can you just make UNK store or whatever so we can browse that too why make it so UNK hard not all words show up with dictionary look up good example is the word UNK ok may know what it is but my kid doesn standard documents need to be converted before they can be displayed on kindle this again is not huge con given what the device is primarily for nevertheless this feature can add real value for those of us who regularly review cumbersome work related documents if could save trees by not printing 50 pages would love to do so you can email the documents to yourself at the free kindle account and perform the same service for the UNK of your environment appreciate the fact that amazon immediately addressed the problem of unstable kindles by releasing software patch within two weeks must also give UNK to amazon customer service that called me to UNK about my device based on some of my comments here not only that they put in follow up call after the patch was released when was the last time UNK called you because you had problem two thumbs up to me the kindle is the best reader out there and remains so in its 3rd iteration the rating has been upgraded to stars happy reading and peace out 1 hands free reading have had my first ever kindle for days already and am in love with it have been thinking about purchasing one since saw oprah give kindles away to her UNK UNK few years ago but love my books love to see them on my bookshelves love handling them love re reading my books so to purchase an reader was real big decision for me when the k3 came out with 139 price tag had to get it what did have to loose am in awe of the kindle and all it can do but the UNK feature for me and do this with my UNK on as do not want to drop it is to UNK in my UNK couch with my one leg slightly UNK rest the kindle on my UNK and have hands free reading just need to move either hand in order to turn the page wow what lovely reading experience agree with the fact the text is crisp the screen is beautiful no glare in the sun and on and on can go just like the UNK UNK UNK the kindle UNK but am not happy with the books available on kindle and how they are presented for some of my favorite authors why are recent UNK UNK books available but not more of her older works when she has series for example the UNK UNK series total of books why not sell them as UNK at one price instead of having to purchase individual books same thing for UNK brown and other UNK that are favorites of mine have previously seen comments about the need for more books to be released on kindle so know am not the only person who has UNK about this or am just being picky think amazon has to work harder for the publishers to release more and more books on kindle for our reading pleasure can anyone get UNK of jeff bezos and tell his about this overall am star UNK in the kindle experience and there is no going back for me stars for the availability of books on kindle come on amazon put pressure on the publishers 1 not bad just received my kindle wi fi only in the mail few days ago overall very impressed pros the screen is beautiful and it very easy to read on connecting to network downloading books and even purchasing books directly on the kindle is snap the entire process takes less than minutes once you have your account and network settings established basically click buy and it downloads to your kindle within seconds immediately UNK love the UNK pictures which appear when it goes into UNK right now mine has portrait of john UNK which is great since never knew how the author looked purchased the k3 leather bound case with the integrated light great for reading in bed at night the entire screen is UNK and easy to read without any eye strain can read in direct sunlight just like book it hard to get over this point when ve spent the last few years dealing with the either faded or invisible lcd screens from my digital UNK portable UNK UNK itouch and laptops whenever they re UNK to direct sunlight cons maybe this is more of an adjustment UNK than anything but so used to UNK real book and flipping back and forth between important sections that highlighted don keep track of particular chapters but can quickly grab 50 pages and go back few chapters look at the information and determine whether the section looking for is before or after that know you can skip between chapters easily with the kindle just saying miss being able to UNK through the pages of book with my fingers then again normally can carry more than one large book with me the kindle allows me to carry very large collection in small device when read books normally purchase them and highlight and make notes directly on the pages highlighting and notes can be done with the kindle but the directional pad is quite small and can end up taking much longer to accomplish than expected this is when missed having touch screen the most also color screen would be great for highlighting purposes purchased some children books and most of them with illustrations really end up UNK out with my kids who are used to color illustrations that pop from the page also some of the books the text is integrated with the illustrations making it sometimes difficult to read since the font adjustment does not affect text in the pictures perfect example of this was the book UNK hand which purchased through the kindle store use books to study for technical UNK in the physical books when chapter test is encountered UNK which answers think are correct with pencil and then reference the correct answers in the answer key to determine my score on the kindle had to use the directional pad to highlight the answer thought was correct find the answer key and jump back and forth between both sections to figure out my score way too cumbersome wonder if amazon would be able to integrate testing section into books such as the UNK security get UNK get ahead book where you can simply type in or to choose the correct answer and automatically get UNK at the end of the section know the kindle wasn designed with this feature in mind but taking UNK in the book are near impossible to do without actually using pad of paper to write down answers again the touch screen feature would be very handy here as well but for 139 shouldn be expecting all the bells and whistles 1 japanese characters here is quick post on japanese characters for someone who needs such info got my kindle yesterday and transferred japanese pdf file via email the japanese document name shows fine on home screen the email attached file name is used as the document name on kindle the japanese contents look fine as well the font is UNK type to my eyes those characters are similar to windows UNK font in general japanese characters are readable on kindle 3g and satisfied with it 1 freezing rebooting kindle UNK needs software update pros great contrast good size weight and UNK storage received UNK kindle on first day of availability cons frequent soft and hard reboots when reading purchased materials or pdf files especially frequent with material that has large amount of images or when highlighting passages kindle support rep has just UNK the support team is tracking this problem and has asked me to plug in the kindle to power source and leave it on for the next 24 hours so they can download software update to my device she was confident that the problem would be resolved stay UNK update patch successfully downloaded to my machine my first couple of hours of trying out various uses leads me to UNK that the performance seems much faster on web sites and loading of pdfs rebooting seems to have stopped as well still loss of star for initially shipping the kindle with poorly UNK software 1 the fine print from first generation kindle to this version love them both why upgrade because while could go between charges for week or even two in kindle the power was UNK within an hour once the wireless feature was activated the extended battery life was the UNK to look into the new kindle because the kindle app for my cell doesn synch if the main kindle wireless isn UNK spend enough time in waiting rooms that with kindle left at home the phone app is finally useful and appreciated the option to enjoy lower priced kindle without the 3g feature was the push since 99 of the time use the kindle in my wireless operating house or wireless hotel or any number of wireless locations love that can finally create folders to sort the books still to read books completed samples and reference materials instead of clicking through 14 pages to find an item everything is UNK on one page the categories of my own creation and most useful to me the typeface is much more crisp and the contrast is improved but not so dramatic as to tire this reader eyes love that the scroll wheel has been UNK out while safely UNK in dry UNK love to read in the pool all the features are available which wasn true with the kindle the packaging was basic and UNK thank you mr bezos and the charger is modern coming apart to charge via an outlet or usb port ve come to expect that feature on mobile electronics and it available here too love it love it love it the elegant simplicity the UNK function the design perfect thank you 1 excellent for books still not great for pdf this is my first kindle have been wanting one for long time but held off until now because of poor pdf support even on the kindle dx which thought would be ideal for pdfs because of its size when saw that the kindle had enhanced pdf support decided to go for it am doctor and try to read as many UNK articles as can hate having journals pile up in my office so usually UNK through them clip out the ones that are most interesting and read those later but this just leaves my desk very UNK so was hoping to replace my paper articles with pdfs which are so easy to access online nowadays and then read them on my kindle after trying this out ve decided the pdf support is still not good enough for me to want to read UNK articles on this however everything else about it makes reading so easy that ve decided to keep it but until they fix some things can give it stars pros it does let you search text and highlight annotate in pdf which is incredibly awesome from what understand the kindle dx still doesn have this level of pdf support it might not have the folders that everyone has been UNK for but you can use collections to keep things very nicely organized since didn have one of the older kindles not sure if this is an upgrade contrast could read for hours on this color would be nice for figures graphs but the grayscale is still excellent size nice and compact easy to carry around price they finally came up with cheaper wi fi only version didn want to pay more for the 3g can download all the books want at home and then when out reading them not wasting time trying to find more to download battery life don think need to explain how good this is cons know just said the size was pro but for those of you wanting to read pdf the screen is just too small even when held horizontal guess this is not really true con but for people looking for good pdf reader amazon still doesn have viable option for us the kindle dx is too expensive for me to justify buying it at UNK especially if it doesn have true pdf support and if it has the same limitations as this when it comes to scrolling you can increase the magnification on pdfs but scrolling is awful on this for example it ll either give you view of the left of the page or the right of the page but if you want the middle you re out of luck this is just not viable option for pdfs with large tables surprised amazon hasn thought of way to make this more usable don need fancy touchscreen but at least let me focus on what want when using the buttons keyboard not sure why they don have number buttons ve seen some other reviews complain about this and ll also do the same also would be nice to make it more natural keyboard with UNK buttons doesn handle epub books but you can always try converting them ve decided that these drawbacks are very minor and that still will use my kindle to read books decided not to return this and buy dx because am hoping the next generation dx will have even better pdf support and also better scrolling if amazon can fix these issues then would have to consider an ipad for reading my pdfs which would hate to do because it has all this other crap that don need wonder if adobe has thought about UNK an electronic pdf reader 1 fantastic device have started reading again after purchasing the kindle it is fantastic ive purchased few books as well as gotten good number of out of copyright books some of which saved me money for classes 1 my first kindle UNK experience kindle3 wifi received my first kindle today kindle3 wifi unpacked loaded books read until now on kindle for mac read the first one since there lot of reviews already ll UNK myself to few key points in short money well spent first impression it is off but there UNK on the screen at first looks like sheet of paper with key instructions stuck to the screen but turns out to be the screen itself since keeping picture on kindle screen doesn consume energy kindle always displays some nice picture when in off mode jane UNK right now UNK screen as advertised probably even delivers better than paperbacks refresh delay noticeable but not irritating keyboard nice but lacks UNK keys more of that in moment you can enter numbers and other symbols using quite smart symbol UNK however entering long number UNK is nuisance configuration breeze except wifi ve run into two problems as mac owner wanted to share mac internet connection but it didn work managed to make it running in only one configuration no password and network UNK ip input by hand which brings me back to the lack of UNK keyboard and on top of that kindle keeps forgetting numbers ve already input kindle seems to have problems with wifi password standards despite them being mentioned as supported no password wep wpa personal wpa2 personal tested both on mac and UNK router wep seems to have most problems web browser not worth mentioning purchasing books oh it done already simple fast as long as your wifi works battery life not able to comment after first day only 1 my new kindle just what to tell everyone that the kindle is the absolute best purchase have made this year was skeptical at first and then after shopping to see the difference between amazon and chapters readers decided that amazon was the best way to go when received it was so excited love the way it hooks into its case and the lightness of it the screen it easy to read and can adjust the font size to my liking and take it with me just about everywhere go what blew my mind am UNK UNK old was the fact of sitting in my UNK and being able to purchase book without having to go to the computer and hook it up have told all my friends and family about it and then UNK to show them how it works they thought that it was good idea christmas presents for sure love my kindle 0 initial impressions this review after about five hours of use have not yet used all of the features mainly just gone to the store ordered book or two and done some reading also set up the wifi for local network pros excellent readability good ease of use battery life seems good leave wireless on cons too small and light to hold easily should be thicker and slightly heavier case may solve this issue note that my hands are from base of palm to tip of longest finger with wide palm the primary issue here is size there are very few positions meaning two can place hand that don either activate controls inadvertently or cover the display there should be more case around the display screen my hands UNK the device have now held dx sized unit and although it is bigger it has the same issues should come with case UNK business decision not to include one if one UNK to magazines they apparently don stay forever in your kindle library on amazon only the last issues do should not have to pay for what you cannot keep no way to loan book to someone else even another kindle user even for short period of time 1 best ebook til now had the previous small kindle in my hands by chance and didn like the UNK being about of the device ve also tried the ipad and it toy not an ebook have received kindle this afternoon and like almost everything two small flaws at first UNK when the battery is charging can see the progress as in many other electronic devices so have to wait until the light goes green with the highlights and notes the user guide says that the device makes an automatic backup to have feedback and share with other people what if don want to this thing should be optional and or at least UNK as private notes highlights maybe find some other flaws but quite happy with my purchase recommend it for heavy UNK readers 1 much improved ve had the kindle wifi and the leather case for few days now enough time to get though book the following is my feedback display absolutely great clear improved text and photos are much clearer with my kindle bright room lighting was essential less so with the text is clearer as well when viewing poor quality photos or diagrams on the k2 occasionally turned to my itouch in order see the image clearly wifi the performance of the wifi connectivity and speed is excellent prefer it over the 3g setup navigation after an hour or so felt totally at home with the new keypad layout the page turn keys are no problem once UNK case had some UNK concerns about the k3 leather case configuration on the kindle UNK UNK to hold the kindle back to the leather case did this to avoid accidental damage when opening the device now that the case has visual UNK the stretch cord and tab no need to secure the kindle back with UNK it obvious when you reach for it now even when the band is not UNK over the front part of the case the tab UNK me overall glad to have the new kindle gave my wife the k2 for her trip UNK home and used either my computer or itouch to finish book using back lit screen at night tired my senior UNK eyes after couple of weeks UNK UNK the new k3 and the improved display technology in my view dedicated kindle reader blows away multi function devices for ereading and the lower cost makes it no brainer 1 wow it better than UNK as new convert to the kindle family received my kindle 13 september 2010 have to say this is as close to reading book as you can get bought the kindle 3g wi fi and from the time pulled it from the box it has work effortlessly syncing with all my previous devices having never owned kindle before wasn sure what to expect sure the reviews were great but would it be all UNK and hoped for let me say from the UNK it was yes yes yes previously have used my wife ipad to read books and thought that was good liked the ipad for this when my wife lets me use it but the kindle is much much better for reading books can believe how much better suppose that what it was designed for and that makes sense but the ink display is truly amazing how they do it don know but it is just like reading paper actually sometimes think it is let me provide an example when got home from work very excited and opened the box there was some instructions on the screen telling me to plug it into the adapter to charge it and turn the kindle on did this and UNK the plastic cover off the screen expecting the instructions to fall out they didn they were on the screen my point is the instructions UNK paper that much actually thought they were real once plugged in and started charging those instructions disappeared and another screen appeared that UNK is better than described and certainly better than could have ever UNK having never used an ink device now know ve been missing out ipad vs kindle know there has been many reviews on this by people far more experienced and technically UNK than me but like to share few quick thoughts on this as thought long and hard on this very issue before deciding to purchase as mentioned my wife has an ipad and UNK why should spend the money and buy kindle when can use hers much to her UNK to read books save my money thought but kept looking at the reviews and decided would buy one only wish had ve decided sooner why did buy kindle you can use it in bright sunlight tried the ipad iphone in sunlight and its UNK it like reading from paper whereas the ipad is backlit so you re just reading from computer screen no eye strain with the kindle seriously find reading from computer screen including the ipad led backlit screen good but sooner or later it does effect your UNK nothing like that with the kindle it size the kindle is so light and the screen size is perfect its just like book the 3g works seamlessly straight out of the box simply turn it on and your away and it does download books in less than 60 seconds again UNK for the comparison but this was the biggest UNK UNK when purchasing could justify the cost for device that is an book reader compared to an ipad that does lot more each has its pros and cons sure but for me the kindle is now my preferred way to read books hope this little bit helps you as for UNK design and UNK the kindle does everything amazon says and is easy to use if you have any problems there is great support whether it be the online forums and UNK or the instructions that come in the box and in the device conclusion am very very impressed and UNK purchased one only wish had of done so sooner 1 UNK kindle user with UNK about this one first let me say that have been UNK kindle reader since it came out almost years ago if you are current kindle user and love your current device think you will have hard time adjusting to the new kindle UNK and new placement of keys am one of those UNK that loves to get the newest thing out so am surprised with my UNK of this new kindle just received my new kindle yesterday and have started using it and have noticed few things that am not sure like too much cons noticed that there are no number keys and that you have to use the way controller to scroll through menu to enter them in that kind of annoying honestly don use the number keys that often but it still something that should be something simple to use and yet it takes more time to enter few numbers in if you would like to change locations in the book size now get the whole idea behind wanting things to be smaller and more lightweight honestly always thought that my 2nd gen kindle was perfect size and weight to begin with after receiving this new one did notice the lighter weight and smaller size not much difference though to achieve this they made the turn page keys alot slimmer and again removed the number keys to me the slimmer turn page keys are little harder to push amazon said that they wanted to make the turn page keys quieter but everyone around said that they never noticed the click from the next page to begin with again size after trying to read last night noticed one major problem and annoyance everything got smaller but the screen size stayed inches where can you comfortably hold on to the device guess am used to more space around the screen to hold my kindle this new one has gotten smaller so now my natural way of holding it puts my thumbs over the screen have UNK hands too so keep that in mind guess will need to UNK how hold it but this seems to be my biggest issue agree with other users that they should have offered some type of customization of the screensavers and or changed added more variety of the images it such simple thing to do joystick vs new controller was fine with the joystick this new thing will take some getting used to new location of power button will take some getting used to pretty much all the buttons are in new spots so it will all take some time to get adjusted all in all gave this star rating only because UNK it is still great reading device if you are new to the kindle you will love it but if you have loved your 2nd gen kindle you will have hard time adjusting and miss some things you have come to love there is only slight difference with screen quality not so much that would really want to spend another 189 to upgrade going to try to give this new one fair shot but am on the fence about keeping it interested to see how others feel about their current kindles compared to this new one to see if anyone has the same issues as do good luck 0 shipping am very worried about the delivery delay of this item as live in UNK and am travelling to the usa in two weeks to visit my friend in UNK UNK where this item is being shipped please make extreme UNK to deliver soon so can pick up my purchase during my visit 1 irritating page turning purchased the new wireless 3g kindle and am concerned about what find to be very irritating when turning page in book the screen briefly turns to black background with white letters then flashes and returns to normal display checked this out with customer support and was told this is normal 0 wi fi disappointment very disappointed in being unable to log into my own wi fi network at home no one at tech support could figure it out and they said they have been having problems with this someone will get back to me within 48 hours so much for the excitement of the week wait finally getting arriving also unable to register it which should have been completed upon arrival as purchased it through my amazon account 0 UNK service am sure the kindle is good product and from time to time we purchase products that do not work as advertised that is to be expected in an UNK world but that is not the problem here the problem is with amazon help people had the kindle for days and upon receiving it could not connect to the internet called the help line but at time did not have my kindle so we set time with the help person when she would call me of course that never happen so had to call them gave all the information requested and was told would hear back in couple days well after days and no word call them then was told would hear back within one hour you guessed it no call so couple days later called back only to be told that would be receiving call at an UNK time three days future well when did not hear that time decided it was enough so called and told them wanted to return the product the individual who helped me with this process was very nice but just remember if you receive kindle that does not work hope you do not need it right away 1 delivered in time it is great reading device no eye strain at all UNK recommend it to avid readers is is also very useful to students as it has an on line dictionary 1 nice reader have never owned an reader before but have always wanted to have one kindle was just what was looking for and it didn let me down easy to manage size is just perfect and started reading almost immediately definitely recommend it 1 love love love the k3 love the k3 bought in graphite was little UNK when ordered the k2 on july 27th then less then week later they announced the release the the k3 but that ok kept k2 and will be gifting it so UNK the k3 am giving stars love the darker lettering contrast compared to k2 and love the 50 smaller and the screen size is the same it is kind of shame alot of the star reviews are those of who haven got their kindle yet UNK is UNK this have learned on waiting month for this the buttons are kind of small and the way is little tricky only it small as well but ve learned to use the edge of my thumb and no problems at all ve also noticed that when not always read book and unsure of the word and try to use the dictionary feature it UNK in and out for second then the definition will come through sure nothing an upgrade can fix or even reset as just got this on sept UNK thats the only issue ve had it works like charm also bought the lighted amazon cover love it was hesitant about it but the light isn UNK when not in use and when it is in use it UNK out easy and never realized how much eyestrain was putting in with out it thanks amazon for creating winner and the price really isnt that bad you be paying more if not the same for the light and the cover seperate just do your home work needless to say this was good purchase and great upgrade to the kindle ve compared in buying other book reader and UNK amazon has good thing going 1 amazing device first impressions after two days with the k3 had the kindle up and running within few minutes and the 25 books had downloaded to my account while waiting for the kindle to arrive were immediately available the startup and operation were very intuitive five minutes of playing with the menu and home buttons and pretty much had it all figured out initially had problem connecting to my home wifi until realized the pass code is case sensitive the amazon cover is much nicer than anticipated it installed very easily fits well protects the kindle and the elastic band is easy to use the k3 display really is quite amazing am used to computer displays but until now didn realize the eye strain that results from reading backlit screen found myself so UNK in my first kindle book suddenly realized it was 30 in the morning and didn want to shut it down the built in dictionary makes it really easy to look up definitions you just place the cursor at the front of word and the definition appears at the top or bottom of the screen wear UNK and had developed bad habit of constantly UNK text with my eyes the ability to increase the font size really made it easier for me to UNK on the text and the UNK virtually stopped couldn be happier with my purchase monday will be leaving on business trip and will be carrying the equivalent of suitcase full of books in one little k3 sitting in airports waiting on planes just got less boring 1 one week UNK ve had my kindle for week so here my thoughts on my first week of ownership the UNK UNK and by the time got there the ups man was already turning the corner the box on the doorstep looked small that can be my kindle but it was even though amazon has multiple pictures of the device on their site showing people using it comparing it to the width of standard pencil etc the first time you see it in real life it seems tiny if you re interested the kindle is slightly larger all around than standard paperback book say bit more than of an inch UNK and wider four UNK stacked are just fall just UNK of the thickness of the kindle and yet it doesn feel like toy there solid feeling to the kindle and some heft mine the 3g wifi model weighs ounces for comparison that about the same as my UNK page paperback copy of speaker for the dead the screen itself which UNK inches UNK is just slightly smaller than the print area of the average paperback give or take the keyboard is tiny as is the way controller my UNK fingers have problems hitting the wrong buttons but it learning process and getting better with practice opened the box UNK the kindle and the charging usb cable the only other thing in the box was printed quick start guide plugged it into the wall to charge as per the directions within moments it had made 3g connection and had begun downloading the UNK or so books pre bought after downloading all my books which only took few moments it then rebooted itself and installed the latest software revision which amazon had just recently released allowed the kindle to charge for five or so hours unplugged it and began reading the kindle allows you the choice of three fonts standard times new UNK font condensed and sans serif as well as eight font sizes ranging from tiny to huge you can also adjust the line spacing and words per line settings if you re again interested using the fourth smallest font size in sans serif with medium line spacing and the default words per line setting the kindle screen is light soft grey which is incredibly easy on the eyes and the text is insanely crisp sharp and clear page turning takes bit of getting used to there is flash as the ink resets itself for the next page most people myself included don even see this after short time of using the device purchased two UNK UNK novels that darn UNK god and UNK UNK for UNK each savings of close to 30 over the printed price as my first kindle reads love this thing and do UNK to everyone for UNK about it lately but reader and the kindle is UNK my UNK off ve also downloaded from amazon and others approximately hundred free and nearly free novels ranging from ancient classics to near recent science fiction and fantasy from UNK books reading is effortless prop the kindle up on the tv remote the UNK buttons keep it from sliding around and set an almost perfect angle for reading in bed ve got bad arthritic and UNK tunnel UNK hands and hate breaking the backs of books so reading was always struggle holding the book open keeping it from UNK closed and losing my place etc can read for hours without pain or UNK now instead of minutes getting books couldn be easier turn on the wireless connection having it off when not needed saves battery power and books really do arrive from amazon as UNK in 60 seconds books from other sources around the web and there plenty of free books out there are copied over using the usb cable and your computer you can also charge the kindle via the usb connection need to get cover or case to protect my kindle currently storing it in the box it shipped in which is bit awkward but other than that am completely satisfied with my purchase to steal line from mcdonalds lovin it 1 wonderful new toy ve been intrigued by the kindle since it first came out and when saw the new price and the improvements decided it was time to buy decided to spring for the 3g version and already sure it the better option because you don have to wait to be in wifi zone to look at the internet compared the new kindle with the 2nd gen my friend has and there definite improvement in sharpness of image having loads of fun UNK my kindle capabilities got it last week and haven had to recharge it yet so the battery life seems to be good 1 excellent product once again own 1st generation kindle and when the UNK started to go bad bought this kindle what step up won go into all the pros and cons because so many people have done that will say that the contrast and clarity is so much better on k3 and of course it is smaller than k1 without losing screen size don think it weighs any less the reason am only giving it stars is because it doesn have the capability to borrow library books like the sony reader and the nook debated about those brands but ultimately because had bunch of kindle books decided to buy the k3 1 you can ask for more have been using the kindle for weeks it is my favorite gadget droid is now second buy ebooks from amazon for the kindle install kindle software on my pc and droid and can read them on all devices 3rd device being the kindle itself they all UNK sync up to the amazon kindle server have the 3g version and glad got it the wifi is great easy to set up but the 3g is super convenient if you get the kindle make sure you purchase amazon leather case with its built in light the light requires no batteries as it uses the kindle built in battery its beautiful case and the light although not as powerful as stand alone clip on is great in pinch and UNK UNK the screen its wonderful for travel highly recommend it 1 by UNK for UNK fyi international UNK no need for detailed review on kindle since it is great hardware device and many reviews will definitely UNK right at the UNK UNK of this small new UNK UNK what no reviews will tell you or did but are way down on the star rating UNK is the incredible frustrating fact of having bought UNK international kindle the built in kindle dictionary is only available in english so that reading in other languages is absolutely impossible please see update below even the international dictionaries available for download which do not feature auto definition look up capabilities are ridiculously bad french german spanish italian moreover 3g wikipedia is only available in yes english at least in UNK and germany unbelievable no just pure UNK amazon if you were once UNK by the books are dead UNK try now language is dead how can an UNK which is meant to UNK UNK can UNK reduce its gene pool what we can be certain about is that you the international UNK UNK for the kindle experience will spend weeks and even months trying to hack your kindle into an useful device on planet earth updates after months experience with the k3 the UNK series of kindle dictionaries allows you to set UNK dictionaries as your default kindle dictionary those will get you pretty well through french spanish and german wikipedia in other languages does work now at least from germany in view of the UNK two updates my advice is that now the k3 international is worth it tip some dictionaries books cannot be downloaded from your current location so try changing your profile address to the uk canada or us technical tip as many reviews around you will notice after every day usage that the kindle is somewhat very delicate device my screen crashed once but had no problem getting one new from amazon in weeks time also it seems rather common that your kindle won wake up from sleep mode from time to time ve realized it does wake up when plugged again in your computer for some time 0 arrived damaged we were UNK awaiting the arrival of our third and latest kindle it finally arrived and it wouldn charge after two days the green light came on UNK it was charged but we couldn get it to progress past the start up page several attempts to reset later it still wouldn work contacted kindle support and they told me to send it back ve been promised another one within one day hopefully this one will work better 1 great reader great price this great product for the price it holds ton of books downloads super fast and is quite comfortable to hold and read with previously had talked myself out of this and was using the kindle app for iphone now am soooo glad upgraded the only thing have to say could use some improvement is the refresh when flipping the page have already gotten used to it but it kind of UNK for fraction of second was used to the smooth page flip on iphone highly recommend getting the case that has the light in it since this does not have screen backlight before you knock that remember that it makes it much easier on the eyes and UNK battery power enjoy it 1 pdf viewer scroll bar needs to be improved kindle book reading is good if you read pdf file after zooming in the scroll bar only provides UNK scroll can not locate the right portion of the page in the center of the display it is easy software function and don know why it is not supported 1 great value for money since yesterday proud owner of kindle international version and already love it advantages large memory UNK long battery life high contrast pearl screen at least 50 better compared to sony UNK prs 600 held in my hands fast page turning flawless online buying of books from huge offer in combination with calibre the lack of epub support is minor as calibre will convert on the fly to mobi UNK UNK way controller and keys which makes it difficult to control for large UNK users very basic control menu navigating in large number of books even if put into collections is somewhat cumbersome really would love to see UNK your last book button compared to other readers in this price UNK the kindle UNK is top of the list as it main competitor the nook is not available for sale in europe big mistake from think and sony prs UNK is UNK in control having touch screen and memory UNK but is quite lot more expensive compared to the kindle for those wanting to experience true reading and probably never touch real book again the kindle is highly recommended 1 what great idea at age 65 and with bookcases UNK and UNK books in boxes thought let give this new technology try it only 139 what great decision ve already downloaded over 40 books and got them within seconds the operation is almost intuitive the reading clear and easy if don want to wear my reading glasses can increase the font size easily held with one hand and light enough to never tire this is one of the best purchases ve ever made the only thing don understand is why the cost of the books is the same or in some cases more than the physical book costs when there is no production cost of paper and printing involved nevertheless for the convenience and to end the clutter it well worth the price 0 uh hello is this thing on so purchased the kindle for few reasons it was less expensive and for someone who isn big reader could justify the 140 00 thought might actually fall in love with my kindle and begin reading more it was just cute cool looking and smaller than the original kindle which all my reader friends family own and love ok pre ordered the kindle and patiently waited since it was my first kindle purchase received my kindle on the 30th of august and didn really do anything with it until sept 1st thought would connect to the wi fi and of course needed our password to the router which didn have am now up at UNK on sept 3rd writing negative review because couldn sleep tonight and thought wow will locate the password for our wireless connection transfer my books from my kindle pc and read on my new sleek cute little kindle until fall asleep why am not reading my brand UNK new kindle now instead of writing star review because the damn thing decided to lock up freeze and then turn off and UNK die will call customer support here in few hours however after reading the many horror stories about how cs is UNK UNK waste of time etc etc will try to be UNK and hope for the best UNK me UNK my brand new kindle up and sending it back to amazon and receiving non UNK kindle am UNK amazon paying for the shipping know know am positive person will update my results soon hope this review helps 1 so far so good received my kindle last week and already purchased book and have taken advantage of the free public domain books the books load very quickly and within seconds of purchase reading being book UNK found myself taking very well to this new technological format the screen display is perfect in its contrast and size it weight and functionality really do ease you into this new experience after only short period it no longer registered that wasn holding paperback book the kindle UNK marks for you and shows you highlighted passages from other users this latter bit really enjoyed it nice seeing what part of book really impressed people do however have to take star away this unit does not like the internet attempted to get into my facebook account twice both times the unit froze and required reboot now it won even open the page or any of the bookmarked pages just hangs until an unable to load message appears it bit UNK but bought the kindle to read books not status updates can live with it the reason took the star away is because while the browser is experimental it is an advertised feature and as such it should function better than it has for me 1 it hard to believe they could improve on the k2 but they did have had kindle kindle and kindle dx and have loved each of them the kindle is my favorite and love the upgrades and new design the smaller thinner case makes it even easier to use it lighter and easier to hold for longer period of time the improved screen resolution increases readability am most impressed with the increased battery life during the first two weeks of use didn even get below about 60 battery the wifi works great makes downloading and shopping much faster and more responsive can wait to see what they do for kindle 1 great device am not going to write out long out review that is sub par to other reviews what will say is the kindle is great device that has long battery life no glare and is very easy to use the one thing that makes me love the kindle even more is using calibre to grab news feeds from all different online sites this is what truly makes the kindle shine nothing like having the news fed automatically to your device from you pc every 12 24 hours depending on how you set it up it even makes all these news sites look like you are reading news paper my one UNK with the kindle was the rebooting issue however amazon seems to have resolved this now with the update and now couldn be happier 1 kindle rules superior to sony apple this is the perfect book reader for me just love it and at 189 for it affordable even with an expensive cover and light if you are reader this is for you if you want to surf the web select and play videos etc this is not the right product for you find the webkit browser more than adequate for social networking but it just side benefit for the first time can research the UNK bible the new UNK book of UNK and the UNK with key word searches and can highlight annotate etc can even have the kindle read to me when driving look forward to the evolution in book readers and hope amazon com keeps breaking new ground while the competition UNK to keep up 0 will UNK for it would really love this one if the software could be little bit better bought two kindles the first one reboots or freezes at least two times each day although do not use the wi fi or touch the button too quickly finally it cannot be turned on although it is fully charged the second one is much better than the first one however today it freezes and can also not be turned on for half an hour UNK the troubleshooting method does not work every time thank UNK can see something on the screen finally don know what happened discovered that if just turned over the pages and read it would UNK no problem however if use the dictionary frequently or make notes kindle will be soon UNK and freeze on the UNK bought very simple ereader in UNK the function is much simpler than kindle but at least it works moreover the quality of battery UNK the fully charged battery of my first kindle last only days without wi fi while the other last already more than week additionally kindle can recognize other languages as chinese but not all characters can be read gave up using it for other languages only for english no doubt kindle is amazing but only when it works normally now my life is full of fear don know what happens next with it will begin to UNK for it each day 1 nice but no cover love the kindle bought the first one now the new one pretty tricky to drop the price and then leave out the cover but charge 35 for one 1 outstanding but usb missing from shipment great reader but not able to connect via computer as usb cable is missing from shipment 1 not for books in other language UNK UNK the kindle for my UNK 75 birthday she came over from the UNK to UNK and would have given the kindle as nice present before UNK gave it to her we checked it out and the kindle is very nice product it download books fast on the 3g network and it was even easy to connect it to my wireless network at home if you like to buy reader for the english language the kindle is it and you will like it but UNK my 75 year old mother like to read in her own language dutch UNK were dissapointed that their UNK only 10 or so books on amazon and you the kindle will not download books from other websites outside amazon sorry to send it back but UNK my husband and are not big readers we don need it my mother looked at it and she also loved it how clear it was to read in the evening in sunlight it doesn matter it real clear if you read in english this should be your choice 0 don place an order if not in stock do not order kindle if it is not in stock placed an order 17 days ago when the kindle was not in stock and on backorder status the kindle became in stock couple of days ago and my status changed to shipping soon yesterday decided to go ahead and order another kindle as gift since it takes amazon so long to get UNK the order placed yesterday already shipped using free super saver my backordered kindle is still in the shipping soon status and not due in for another two weeks called amazon and was told that couldn cancel my first order because it was in the shipping soon status asked why the UNK were not UNK before new orders did not get an answer not even an offer to upgrade the shipping so the UNK of the story is do not place an order unless the item is in stock or you may wait month like me wait and order when the item is in stock and you ll get to cut in front of the people that have been patiently waiting in line sept 21 ordered kindles since the sept 16th and both have arrived the kindle that was ordered on aug 31st and placed on backorder still hasn arrived noticed by some of the comments that some folks can read and UNK what they have read especially the title of the review amazon has since called and UNK for the error they also offered credit on my account 0 does not ship in days this item says that it is available ordered it in what thought was plenty of time only to get response that it wouldn be shipped for weeks thinking about UNK the order 1 perfect reader absolutely remarkable device with its custom leather case it no bigger than paperback yet it can hold hundreds of books the screen refreshes nicely and is very easy to read even in lower light settings it connects via wifi or here in UNK italy with no problems battery life is incredible and the book ordering process couldn be simpler really enjoy the opportunity to sample book before buy couldn be happier 1 very good purchase just couldn wait to receive my kindle love it it is worth the purchase price it is very easy to use and to download the books UNK years old and love it 1 1st time owner and loving it received my kindle just few days ago and haven been able to put it down since wanted kindle for christmas last year but the ipad was UNK to be available in early 2010 my boyfriend wanted to hold off on purchasing the kindle since the ipad would do so much more well have been an iphone owner from the very start and ended up getting and ipad for my birthday have the kindle app on my iphone and my ipad so ve been enjoying the UNK of free and inexpensive books that amazon has to offer which think it great love using my ipad for educational apps and games for my kids and the ibooks application is quite nice as well do like the innovative way you can use your finger and swipe it across the page and have the page follow allowing you to actually turn pages in your book in the ibooks electronic reader for ipad so must say do love my ipad but my ipad is considerably heavier than the kindle and it not optimal for reading outside you do get somewhat of glare therefore once saw the new version of the kindle with lower price point figured it was worth checking it out after receiving the kindle must say the ink on the screen is absolutely amazing it looks like an actual page from book the kindle is easy to use right out of the box and love love love having the different literary characters and pictures appear on the sleep screen and in such wide variety its like little surprise every time you slide the power button to put the reader to sleep had no ideal this was function of the reader and so it was an actual surprise for me the first time finished my read for the moment and UNK the power button to find UNK of the amazon kindle UNK the little boy reading under the tree and then again picture of UNK UNK all in all just have to say love it and am happy with my purchase wouldn trade my ipad love it as well for the many amazing apps and UNK things you can do it is wonderful device but as dedicated reader something light for long reading sessions and that can read outside in direct sunlight nothing compares to the kindle if you are UNK buy it you won regret it 1 great the k3 met and exceeded many of my expectations the pdf support is fantastic the screen looks brilliant ve had two freezes both of which were solved easily by rebooting many customers are UNK and cannot convert their books and external sources for proper reading but it is possible UNK and UNK UNK format nicely into mobi and ve had pleasure reading UNK on the k3 the web browser is fantastic it can display html with advanced UNK but needless to say don expect to be playing flash games or doing anything but communicating with basic text and images 0 kindle shipping ordered kindle on friday requested two day shopping with trial UNK to an amazon subscription and it is now tuesday and the kindle has not shipped yet 1 great product the kindle 3g wi fi is one of the best products have bought in long long time it works quickly and easily find myself reading faster and more often then did with UNK love the feel and the look of the kindle am constantly showing it off to people who ask me about it when am reading in public in barnes and UNK was asked about how easy it is to down load and read and make UNK people who have the nook seem very interested in the kindle and UNK in the nook with all the free books available am like UNK in the UNK UNK great job amazon 0 cheap but poor quality bought UNK wifi and have to return one of them love the idea that you can simply send your document to kindle UNK and then it will download it automatically it is very convenient however it is the poor quality that made me decide to return it got it on september UNK and returned it today for below reasons the battery UNK out in the first days after fully charged did kept the wifi on UNK more than 10 UNK tired those features like browser mp3 and text to speech but still don think it makes sense the battery UNK out in days decided to do more test with it and it then came other issues it could wake up once last friday have to plug it into computer to wake it up it makes noisy can hear something was UNK inside guess something was unplugged and UNK around the page down button was stuck and UNK automatically experienced this after got the 3rd issue so guess the page down button was stuck when was reading pdf doc with kindle in landscape position this happened once and last for several minutes should give only star but gave it another for the cheap price and the convenience of kindle UNK 1 great reader but beware lost content issues when UNK or replacing your unit first let me say that really love the kindle but stopped short of star review for the following reasons the battery is still not user replaceable item at least not via amazon which means either you pay for an extended warranty up front which allows per another reviewer post one battery replacement or UNK that if your battery starts losing the ability to hold decent charge it does so before your yr warranty UNK beware that if you need to replace your kindle you will lose any back issues for newspapers you subscribe to keep your old kindle and shop for replacement batteries elsewhere see below for details the battery life on my previous edition kindle started fading fast after 18 months was getting three days tops without wireless and one day with wireless on searched amazon for replacement battery and found there was no such UNK calls to customer service were interesting was first UNK UNK and then 59 to replace my older kindle with refurbished one containing new battery with the new 3g wifi version going for 189 thought the replacement battery was too pricey since long time customer with purchases in the figures customer service UNK and sent me the replacement at no cost probably didn hurt to have as UNK the fact that had also just ordered the newer generation unit for what it worth google search turned up several sites that sell kindle batteries for anywhere between 10 and 30 you UNK video is available that UNK shows you how to swap these out yourself so in theory there is an alternative solution UNK to new or replacing an old kindle will cost you your back issues of newspapers and magazines the thing like most about the kindle is electronically delivered newspapers you can subscribe to just about every major national and UNK paper and choose from dozens world wide as well when you fire up your kindle in the morning turn on the wireless and in couple of minutes your paper is there sans ads UNK and UNK now if you want to do the UNK UNK etc you re going to be out of luck but if you just want to read the news it doesn get any better than this no more digging papers out from under foot of UNK or trying to find where in the UNK the delivery person UNK it but if you wish to keep back issues for future review you ll be out of luck when you move to new kindle be aware that amazon kindle newspaper subscriptions are device specific that means you will not be able to read back issues copied to your new or replacement kindle if you copy your documents from old kindle to new kindle and then attempt to open the back issue you will get the following message this item cannot be opened because it is UNK to different user delete the item and download it from your archived items or purchased copy from the kindle store well newspapers older than two weeks are not archived at amazon and not about to pay for the papers second time were they to be available in the first place so if having access to back issues of newspapers is important to you don take an amazon kindle subscription for the paper the issue with the newspapers above got me to thinking about UNK of other content in the future ve had life time subscriptions to software that disappeared overnight UNK is case in point yahoo bought them and turned gem of music management package into piece of trash what if some chinese UNK bought amazon or amazon went UNK up what happens to your investment in books you can view them on your pc assuming you back your kindle documents up to your home computer if something happens to amazon or you close your account there you lose access to your archived materials at amazon as long as the kindle you own lives you can still access your content but as soon as it needs to be replaced you re UNK this is something anyone considering purchasing kindle may want to give serious thought to this may seem like small item and probably not be big deal to most of you but since ve been using numeric password to access my older kindle was surprised to find the number keys no longer in the kindle key pad you can get them in the symbols page but if you use password you won like using numbers you ll likely be UNK off that the new covers cost more than the older one even though they re smaller and no the new kindle won fit in the old one the UNK points are spaced more widely apart in the newer one having said all that think the kindle is wonderful reader and would recommend it to anyone who reads lot wants to save money vs buying hard copy books prefers to travel light one kindle holds several hundred books likes to read outside in broad daylight doesn like to constantly be plugged in wishes not to be distracted by all the features of notebooks UNK or smart phones and doesn really worry if book you bought today may not be available to you in the event of an amazon UNK keeping mine and will likely continue to move up but will most likely switch back to the paper papers who needs trees anyway enjoy 1 sleek thin fast originally purchased the wifi only kindle and then decided to purchase the 3g wifi since the price was so low so could have one as backup needless to say love the new kindle had 1st gen kindle and the design and quality of this newer kindle is great the new ink really improves the quality of the print and pictures can keep the font at smaller size and still see the text perfectly the page turns are quicker and really prefer the darker color navigation is easier and being able to look up one word at time as opposed to getting dictionary definitions for whole sentence is plus the small thinner design is also plus know that in order to do that they had to lose something so we lost the number row and having to pull up the symbol key is little clunky if you are trying to go to location in book overall highly recommend the newest generation kindle 1 what gift my best friend purchase one of the newest kindles as gift and telling you it one of the best gifts ve ever received have already read two books in record time much faster read without having to turn pages manually love that it takes me to the place left off love that there are some really good free books available to read if there was one thing wish it would do is have back light for reading in the dark but since don do that anyway good amazed at how quickly can have new book to read seconds the time and money saving is incredible since usually read book day ll tell you no longer have to have piles of book laying around either really like that would recommend this to someone who reads lot great tool 1 amazing amazon kindle user interface review UNK hrs is all it took for the charm of the kindle to wear off and some inherent short UNK began to appear am UNK the some of these with suggested solution no indication for volume control solution is obvious the position location in book is confusing percentage does not make much sense the other indication is confusing am not sure how can that be useful do not have solution but maybe more UNK explanation by kindle staff would help to understand the UNK numbers being such good UNK of the actual paper backs has its inherent problem of requiring light to read in the dark am not sure how good is that kindle cover with built in light but my suggestion that one area most of us would have to UNK to find the right book light the mp3 playing does not have an option to make play list so one has to simply listen in the order that they are listed maximum you could do is to skip the track and go to the next one suggestion can we have collection playlist like the way one kindle book is listed in more than one collection accessing web is not possible when connected through usb am not sure what purpose would it serve just an UNK no UNK UNK if kindle wants to tap the largest UNK UNK in the world then they have to come up with some UNK UNK it does get UNK up often sometimes it does self boot up but other times you would have to UNK it only kindle guys can solve this keyboard is small and if you do not use both hands it is problem to key in in case you have case cover then it would have to be folded back to UNK this transition to use the keyboard is that smooth though the screensavers are great but guess some of us would like to change it to our liking personalize it UNK guess that not possible am sure solution is simple the wifi cannot connect to UNK hotspot or UNK wifi connection so one does lose bit of flexibility am sure thats possible now for some suggestions to kindle UNK would it be too much to ask for wireless head set capability guess it would help believe kindle apps are under development that great move but then UNK that stuff can we have method to personalize the kindle itself maybe UNK the name organization etc am sure there is enough space available my guess what we are looking at is UNK kindle in long line of UNK which would come in days to come 1 UNK reading have never read so much in my life UNK these things will be fantastic for the kids in the future because reading to me is more enjoyable than ever it UNK the comfort to the eyes of real books and the mobility and comfort of palm device just amazing 1 my new favorite device the new kindle 3g with wifi is amazing the device is pleasure to read on find that carry it with me wherever go it has allowed me to find few minutes here and there to catch up on both professional and pleasure reading that would not have otherwise UNK on this device has also UNK my 13 year old son interest in reading the kindle is worth every penny 0 worked for an hour see update below the kindle is my first reader so was really looking forward to playing with this new bit of technology already ordered several books and was eager to start reading when the kindle arrived this afternoon after fully charging it the kindle lasted all of an hour before it decided to reset itself it been locked in constant UNK of resets ever since about every 10 minutes it will actually reach the main screen but when you slide the power button to wake it it just starts resetting itself again ll call customer service in the morning but can say impressed so far update customer support had me leave the kindle plugged in for 24 hours during which time software update was supposed to be installed that would fix the problem this procedure did not work so amazon sent replacement via overnight shipping the only problem is they sent it to random address in my amazon address book so it going to UNK instead of UNK customer service sent me third kindle but because it was so late in the day it didn ship until friday so won receive it until next week if this one is defective it going back for refund and ll pick up sony or nook instead 1 in love was bit hesitant to upgrade from my k2 thought it UNK just fine and was just wanting the newest little gadget but when got my k3 in the mail was so happy upgraded it is so much more compact fast the contrast is awesome images are crisp and easy to view the kindle is so user friendly was concerned that wasn going to be able to get my books from my old kindle but already on my home screen was little note transferring your kindle content it was so easy to do and awesome that amazon had noticed that was in need of that information as always love the little UNK love the dictionary tool it is so nice to be able to look up word so easily and not UNK reading just in seconds another new option is to create collections for example have all of the UNK books downloaded onto my reader and now can easily group series of books together in one area pretty handy and it keeps all of my books organized kind of wish would have gotten the 3g one just so could always be connected but have found that am usually always in range of wi fi hotspot if worse comes to worse can always browse online and upload books that way highly recommend the new kindle you won regret it 0 kindle my wife and purchased kindle last december as we live in non english speaking country and travel the concept of being able to purchase new books whenever we desired was very appealing the kindle filled this need but they are very UNK made and after less than year they are already wearing out am not sure that they will last until we are back in the us in december one way or the other we will be moving to ipads as general comment they are cheap but you get what you pay for 1 the kindle 3g wi fi suits it purpose well the kindle wi fi and 3g latest generation is exactly what wanted an book reader that can fit in my handbag it is comfortable to hold find that even with the lighted leather cover sold UNK it is still not too heavy to hold for length of time thought about getting an ipad but wanted the portability and the ease on the eyes because there is no back light that the kindle has the price difference was another factor the internet access is awkward to use but that not what bought the kindle for think it is worth more than the 50 dollar difference 189 as opposed to 139 to have the 3g connectivity can be just about anywhere and still have the ability to download books and such or browse the internet there are lot of free books available for the kindle and the books that you must pay for are less expensive than the paper copies one disadvantage of having kindle instead of the paper book is the inability to share my books with other people unless there is way to share that UNK of will have to look into that further all in all very much like the kindle it suits it purpose well 1 enjoying my kindle after five weeks of waiting finally got my kindle at first was worried about the issues that other users encountered such as wireless connection problems or interface UNK luckily didn have those problems at all my kindle works well in all aspects downloaded several free books from amazon and books in foreign languages everything works well am reading more than before 0 wanted to like it pro it light and compact you can read it in sunlight long battery life con every thing else ll use it because have it but really do hate it when the manual said that could link my audible account to it thought UNK maybe it won be complete waste ve tried for days to get to audible pushing the menu button from every page available doing exactly what the useless manual says and have not found way to get audible on this thing okay in the interest of UNK own an ipad bought the kindle so could read it outside can do that and really do like how light and compact it is don know maybe it is impossible to make computer that requires you push buttons do anything UNK the ipad is so simple so intuitive maybe spoiled even the apple ebook reader that comes with the ipad is more intuitive than any of the versions amazon has with apple you not only know what page your on it also tells you how many pages are left in the chapter not kindle with kindle you re given location which has no meaning what ever and have yet to find an easy way to find out how much further to the end of the chapter knowing how far is handy if it late and you are getting tired if you have come to natural stopping point that is not the end of the chapter and you know there are only pages left in the chapter you ll likely finish the chapter or if it says there are 30 pages left in the chapter you ll likely bookmark it and go to bed and finish the chapter another day now maybe missing some thing but with kindle the only way to determine how far to the end of the chapter is to bookmark where you are then flip through the pages to find he end of the chapter then pull up the menu and do go to the bookmark really wow isn that handy mean why do some thing with mere UNK when you can do it by pushing 12 buttons instead ve been playing with this thing for week now ve read the manual ve tried well 60 years old and apparently just don have the patience for any thing that has major learning curve at 60 need intuitive simple straight forward kindle is none of those suspect that if there were no such thing as the ipad would not be so resistant to learning how to use the kindle and would probably have loved it it is nice to be able to read in the sunlight UNK nice no maybe ll be less resistant when figure out how to get my audible books on it know UNK old broad UNK added days later while amazon UNK that audible could be added wirelessly when went to audible found that in fact the kindle must be attached to computer in order to transfer ve done that and am bit happier maybe up to two stars 0 need to be computer genius to set up just received my new kindle and have spent the last hour trying to connect it to my wifi system you need to be computer genius to set this up it going back 1 my favorite kindle this is my second kindle and it keeper the design is great and the display is clear and easy on the eyes turning the page is quick and quiet and it is comfortable in one hand it is lightweight and fits easily in my purse or briefcase 1 beyond expectations except for pdf viewing first like to say that an apple product junkie and own an ipad for reading the kindle is worth having two devices the reflective backlit screen of the ipad simply gave me headache ok the kindle beat my expectations screen is amazing crystal clear really looks like paper incredibly easy to use books instantly appear on my device after purchase them the design of the product is superb amazingly thin easy to travel with since bring laptop when travel don bring my ipad only problem is my existing pdf books the text is really small you have to zoom and navigate UNK but not ideal pdf loading is very easy hope this helps 0 awful korean font almost unreadable wow bought one for my sister as gift and another one for myself she got the product and so disappointed the korean font included in the device is ridiculous are you kidding me amazon does anybody know how to replace font files for better readability 1 love this love this on road trip downloaded books in the middle of UNK UNK and UNK thanks to the 3g wouldn want to be without the 3g it is worth the every cent this is my second kindle but won be the last the battery is awesome lasted UNK days on the road trip and still has lot of battery life left didn even pack the battery UNK don even consider another brand the kindle latest generation is smooth and simple to work nice 0 UNK etch sketch personal note before start love amazon books and hope amazon will create more competitive product that said don see how this technology could possibly have UNK nearly stars love books and have been reading them for about months on my ipod touch thought kindle would be step up in the reading experience instead it was like UNK into dark UNK UNK by UNK UNK UNK and other out UNK technology was literally UNK into UNK staring down at my newly purchased UNK etch sketch all the UNK of having kindle are to my UNK disappointment either UNK in UNK videos and reviews or simply useless benefits altogether you can read in sunlight impressive yet who actually UNK the majority of their time reading in such UNK talked with many people and no one talked to said yeah usually read in bright sunlight and once the sun started to go down because the kindle is not backlit the screen just got darker and darker had to go back inside and turn on my lights so could find out who killed UNK and what is the supposed benefit of it not being backlit one thing much UNK on is eye strain UNK reading computer screen causes eye strain but the kindle not having the same kind of backlit screen does not but have read books for hours at time for the past 10 months on my ipod touch the kindle application and never noticed any eye strain whatsoever so the kindle not being backlit so as to protect my eyes is like wearing UNK UNK to keep bugs from UNK UNK my UNK sure it would keep bugs out and UNK me of little UNK but bugs don usually make it to the in zone anyway not being backlit the kindle also uses so little power that it has tremendous battery life this was one of the primary reasons for me getting the kindle in the first place was excited because finally could read and read and read and not worry about crap the book will take 20 minutes to finish and have 10 minutes of battery remaining but when UNK to friend about this feature he UNK with UNK what UNK do you think you re living in where in today age can you not find an outlet to charge portable devices again UNK UNK the UNK you shouldn UNK the UNK just to make UNK of UNK started to UNK in my UNK as for the reading experience when you purchase kindle there is letter from jeff bezos included with your other kindle content that basically UNK the kindle as creating seamless reading experience you forget you are holding piece of UNK electronics in your hand after while this is the basic idea enter the UNK etch sketch and its UNK UNK that you are reading UNK reading machine the page turning is about as un seamless as you can get just like an etch sketch it appears the kindle has to first UNK off the page you were reading to prepare for UNK on the image of the next page it UNK this in UNK UNK by UNK negative image of the next page before finally displaying the next page in readable format it would actually be more fun if had to UNK it back and forth to turn the page like an etch sketch and it would take about as long it is like slow blink confusing because you are reading one set of text and suddenly negative image of different set of text flashes you and without the UNK this is just simply not the future of reading and in the UNK videos this fact is never mentioned specifically and during the reading on the beach UNK not even shown UNK and the UNK of the kindle expected the 3rd generation would be very intuitive many products that are successful now don require much more than little UNK about how to use them this is the focus of UNK in many UNK products that don need manuals and here is simple out of the box problem UNK many people who haven used kindle to see what their own UNK told them about how the buttons should work you have button on the right thumb level and button on the left also thumb level if you press the button on the right what do you expect to happen everyone said turn to the next page correct and if you press the button on the left without fail everyone said go back page wrong the reality is that both buttons have the same functionality it is counter intuitive and requires learning and UNK step that initially is not natural this is simply not the direction that modern portable devices are taking things are supposed to get simpler requiring less steps not more another example of the counter intuitive nature of the kindle is the UNK system was excited to organize my books by category but first consider some basic yet UNK UNK about UNK if you file something the UNK UNK won move and try to UNK from you if you file something it will not UNK to make copy of itself and leave the copy still lying on the floor just to UNK you yet this is what kindle does UNK really on your content page whatever you read last appears at the top assumed that the UNK UNK that created would stay in one place but no as accessed things they all started getting mixed up suddenly my UNK UNK if not accessed recently started sliding UNK and UNK down the page get back here you UNK stay where can see you wanted to UNK and was completely dismayed that UNK books into category folders still left copy of the book out in the open so much for UNK it was like harry potter at UNK every time he touched one of UNK UNK it suddenly UNK not very intuitive then there is something hope amazon will come to UNK with modern portable devices that you can hold with one hand or an inch away from your face are all moving to touch screens it was like UNK video UNK people my new kindle and watching them UNK UNK their fingers on the screen until it UNK on them oh this isn touch screen UNK changes over time and now people have come to expect that small and portable plus big screen UNK touch screen just fact and highlighting sections or checking the dictionary easy UNK UNK man whereas other portable devices allow you to touch the word kindle UNK you to play text version of UNK man with no bonus points or level ups all on an incredibly tiny UNK square navigating UNK fact people should go through this process if they really want to know the meaning of word fact only the most UNK of UNK will bother this is not function that anyone and everyone will happily take advantage of which UNK to design failure amazon successfully encouraged me and others probably to buy more books and sample books might not have otherwise tried for fear of wasting money amazon kindle application for ipod touch iphone and ipad make for truly enjoyable and intuitive reading experience having non backlit screen and long battery life at the expense of touch screen and other useful battery UNK features is simply not necessary come on amazon give apple run for their money 1 kindle is it in my opinion the kindle wi fi graphite definitely tops nook or any other ereading device currently on the market looked at the nook kobo sony prs 300 600 and the sony daily reader before choosing the kindle today placed the kindle next to the nook at my local and it is was immediately apparent that the kindle has much clearer screen and darker fonts making it joy to read on the kindle also weighs less than the nook had some freezing rebooting issues with the kindle for the first week but the software update appears to have taken care of the problem the wi fi and web browser work pretty well too it is very easy to shop the kindle store while on wi fi but also easy to download books onto my computer and transfer them to the kindle via the usb cable few things don care for the letter keys are very small no number keys you have to access numbers after pressing the symbol key and the page turn buttons are placed where would usually want to hold the device occasionally accidentally change the page overall however am very happy with the kindle 1 kindle vs nook advantage kindle update to this review my kindle died this past week think the battery was the issue called amazon that night spoke with very nice representative and two days later ups dropped off new one at my door step had no trouble UNK my books to it and it works perfectly that is world class customer service by any standard much appreciated mr bezos like really do the UNK are fantastic the coffee great and several of the UNK UNK have become personal friends love the UNK and the thousands of books on hundreds of subjects going there is to me what going to cheers was for UNK and the UNK or what UNK coffee shop was to UNK and his three UNK UNK their UNK book drive for UNK kids is fantastic way to get children hooked on reading each year it my pleasure to UNK several of the classic UNK brown series to the effort yes know they make money off of it but after all they are business what does any of this have to do with the kindle vs the nook simply this while does great job selling books in the old school way they are simply behind the curve when it comes to providing the best products at the UNK prices this new kindle is perfect example of what mean its primary competitor the nook is where amazon device was at least one version ago it adequate but not UNK in any way the virtual keyboard is too small and cannot be used with UNK for people with big fingers it pain in the UNK to use the letter quality is closer to what was once called near letter quality back in the day when UNK UNK printers were king even worse imo they get the latest books well after amazon does and what good is an reader if you cant find the works you want contrast this with the new kindle text is crisp and clean page orientation can be changed easily find the books want more often than not in the kindle store which given the stuff like to read is saying something it smaller and lighter and have had none of the technical issues other reviewers have mentioned why the difference in the two reading devices it simply amazon UNK to constant product improvement and their UNK UNK in meeting customer expectations two things which falls behind on they UNK their UNK getting free internet they took their sweet time getting an reader and to this day they don offer express shipping when you order from the store plus books on their web site cost more than at amazon that being said ll still drink my coffee and UNK my UNK at UNK and ll still buy real books from them when feel like just can wait three days to get my copy from ups and maybe just maybe ll UNK my kindle in and read it in dark corner of the store possibly even use their wi fi to order book for it hey their internet is free now so why not ps what do read mostly boring stuff like science philosophy history and UNK works oh and that other stuff 1 kindle to upgraded to kindle just days before the kindle was released was able to swap it for loved my original kindle but had issues with the controls down the sides it was just too easy to push one while trying to grasp it then took while to get back to my page love the kindle the battery lasts much longer between charges this is great when go on trips can leave the charger at home the controls are much more user friendly reading so much more since got kindle can have book in seconds and be ready to start reading no more trips to the book store have recommended it to everyone know who is considering an reader 1 perfect as reader the kindle is the perfect device for reading the kindle UNK high on ease of use but more importantly the display with its crisp fonts and sharp contrast is really easy on the eyes while the ipad is good enough for reading for short period of time the kindle is better suited to reading on regular basis the free 3g is also very handy when you are on the road and want to pick up the latest issue of your favorite magazine or newspaper 1 kindle is UNK me with reading as knew it before the web here personal UNK had fallen into disconcerting habit of what would call trash or lazy reading where was surfing the web to do my reading not reading for very long or very UNK the kindle is UNK me with reading as knew it before the web and am realizing that have been missing that deeper reading experience and this is perhaps the highest UNK can give the kindle 1 love love love it have had mine for about month now absolutely love it read so much more now love that can increase the font size so my eyes don get strained when read if you are an avid reader highly recommend this they have books out there for everyone can promise you that 1 you cannot go wrong with one of these took delivery of my new graphite kindle recently and have barely put it down since also have nook and will be getting rid of that soon the kindle is intuitive to use amazing to read even in direct sunlight and the battery life is incredible get so many questions about it when out in public that it sometimes is hard to get any reading done 1 kindle hard to believe that my 3rd kindle UNK kindle one and two easier to use better screen viewing love the book cover with the light that purchased to go with it 1 love it read alot and always had problems with what to do with the books after am finished with them thanks to the kindle my days of trying to give books away and storing them are finished it is so easy to manage and operate that have ordered one for my daughter for christmas the selection of available books to read is UNK and the prices are very reasonable had an occasion to call customer support and they were very through and helpful highly recommend this product 1 little torn love the idea of what the kindle is carrying around whole library read way more now when get moment here and there and the features are really nice the wi fi and 3g are pretty cool mostly appreciate being able to buy books anywhere and the dictionary is just great the reason am torn is because can stand glitches and it seems to have some would send it back and ask for another but don have the UNK that it will really be much better have had to restart my kindle couple of times in days going online has also caused it to freeze once though this did not weigh into my rating since they are up front with it being experimental did not buy this kindle to surf the web the restarts had to do were because books purchased did not download correctly this was tiny bit frustrating overall am happy with the purchase of it because love to read my tv viewing time has gone to almost zero because really enjoy this device read several books simultaneously depending on whatever mood am in at the time because it is just so easy to use hopefully the bugs will keep getting worked out and would definitely buy an updated version again in year or two have feeling mine will have quite bit of wear and tear by then 1 the kindle is wonderful thing wasn sure if would really enjoy this or not mean there is something about holding book flipping through the pages the smell of it yeah there sure is but that stuff just kinda fell by the UNK when got my kindle and read my first book on it it is so light just the right size to hold in your hand to read do lot of my reading in bed and this works so much better than real book easier to hold and page turning is snap would highly recommend kindle and it wouldn surprise me if in the future kids have these instead of school books talk about carrying lighter load at school could only give stars but let UNK those are each UNK by 10 oh mine is the graphite wi fi kindle love it 1 amazing don wait like did this product is amazing if you love to read this is must 1 in kindle love it but after couple of years of watching this technology finally bought kindle 3g and after days of playing around with it think it is great purchase but going to the shop kindle store link gets you to the books available on amazon with no price information UNK found the price info am UNK with less than perfect eyes bought the kindle so can have books in large print UNK accomplished am UNK with less than perfect eyes the qwerty keyboard is almost impossible for me to see you should fix this am UNK with less than perfect fingers the back button is too close to the way controller so when scrolling down on page with the controller inadvertently have hit the back button many times you need to test your layout with someone who is more than 30 years old not just some UNK UNK geek child the collections folders are nice first step toward true directory structure hope you keep improving this UNK this is after one more day on kindle like it more each day 1 after initial problems its works fine and love it like many others had several problems with my kindle resetting itself frequently but kindle technical support people were excellent and after updating it now works flawlessly 1 kindle si UNK UNK fare UNK solo la UNK UNK il UNK UNK UNK il UNK UNK egrave UNK UNK UNK egrave UNK UNK UNK UNK il UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK le UNK UNK UNK UNK la UNK UNK UNK UNK 3g wifi UNK solo UNK UNK il UNK per UNK UNK UNK in UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 best pure reading device on the market non 3g version is truly bargain thin light and easy to read this version of the kindle is fantastic unfortunately mine froze after week of use but amazon terrific customer service came to the UNK had new one two days later which has UNK been fine 1 made the right choice short and sweet right out of the box was impressed with the kindle appearance much better than expected like it the ease of use and am looking forward to many many hours of reading have handled the nook and this was the better way to go 1 exceeds expectations rarely has an item exceeded expectations as much as my kindle easy to read check easy to read outdoors check easy internet connection check durable already dropped in once check lightweight easy to handle easy to navigate check check check leather case nice although pricey led light is great although UNK could use some work bookstore could be easier to use page turn buttons easy to use even for my old fingers no real complaints 1 great reader ok so ve had my kindle now for weeks and am ready to rate it this if my first kindle so can compare to older versions give this star on its function as reader extremely pleased with this easy to read easy to hold easy to purchase books give it on its mp3 capabilities very easy to download and good quality on the speakers understand this is still in experimental stage they need to allow for scrolling between songs and some sort of library but hopefully that will be in in the near future only give it for its internet capabilities they still have long way to go freezes up lot takes long time to download pages but with that said gave it for my overall review its first and primary function is to read books and the other things are in my opinion for occasional use which is why purchased the kindle over the ipad want to primarily read books and on occasion listen to song and on occasion look something up on internet when im traveling 1 fabulous my wife UNK been able to put it down since it arrived today looks like will need to order my own very user friendly and convenient as well 1 just makes me want to read more and more often enough said from the title couldn be happier with this device and am completely in love 0 they lie watch out they stated delivery by 17 on the order page if took day shipping option when got my UNK they stated delivery 20 immediately tried to cancel but they stated that can because it already being prepared for shipping total bs 1 love my new kindle wi fi after the long UNK backorder wait recieved my kindle on and after week of playing with it really have no complaints the first time turned it on had some problems with the browser went on facebook it ended up freezing and had to reboot itself twice since then ive downloaded the updates and didnt have any problems but UNK you get right down to it we buy the kindle to read not surf the web so thats really not huge issue have to complain about that UNK thats the only thing can think that bothered me love that can sort my books into categories of read and unread love being able to change font size spacing page turns are great and the contrast is just as good as book UNK been able to read at all during my lunch break UNK all my coworkers want to play with it haha 0 so go to starbucks have your clock reset anticipation high looked easy to get started until it froze up on me and wouldn connect to my wireless ip service after cs ran me thru standard UNK was told to go to starbucks or mcdonalds to have the clock reset over free wifi there then would be able to connect via my ip so that my next step not so easy since am UNK UNK must make special UNK to go out also found buttons to be too small all to get the joy of reading back and there sits kindle in box by the door 1 absolutely amazing am absolutely UNK about my long UNK kindle the screen is super sharp the kindle is very sleek and stylish and it feels solid and well built the screen works very well for me and since like the kindle for being compact wouldn want it to be any bigger perhaps the thing that amazed me most is that though being very UNK gadget the first thing wanted to do was read books everywhere all the time usually when receive gadget tend to explore all possibilities before actually using it but the kindle just wants me to read find the experience of reading books on the kindle actually more pleasant than reading normal books it is less heavy and can adjust the font size the way like little bigger in dim light little smaller if want more UNK no need for book UNK read multiple books depending on the mood very pleasant something very useful for me is the built in oxford dictionary since english is not my mother language like to improve my vocabulary by looking up the words don fully understand with kindle this is insanely simple just move the cursor to the particular word and brief explanation appears on screen just one button and the full oxford page appears just the back button and your back reading another big advantage had not realized UNK is that the text to speech function is very useful in the car though it has some small flaws for instance it reads out loud the numbers of footnotes and it leaves no pause after title of chapter the speech is very understandable and not annoying at all when normally feel very pointless in the car now feel am doing something useful while driving pity not all books have speech enabled both 3g and wifi work really well adding personal documents to the kindle is breeze by mailing them as attachment to the address no need to plug in anything also super is that the instructions for first use were already displayed on the screen prior to first use intended to remove the UNK after reading the instructions not realizing that these instructions were displayed on screen all the time during shipment wow think there is room for improvement for the search function on the amazon website and think it is pity non us customers are provided with less content and higher rates but consider both things minor the kindle itself is absolutely great 1 great product bought this for my UNK for her birthday few weeks ago when opened it up saw an instruction sheet UNK to it and after trying to peel it off realized it was the screen amazing clarity 1 probably the best there is but room for improvement think the new kindle is the best reader there is but there is room for improvement pros probably the best reader there is relatively inexpensive especially the wi fi only version nice UNK screen even though it not as white as real paper good management backup of kindle books and documents on amazon com the cover accessory with the light in it is very nice but it costs another 60 good battery life good looking lightweight cons responsiveness my biggest gripe when using it just turning to the next page is usually ok but when doing other things like accessing menus and functions the kindle can sometimes not always become quite UNK and take lot of time to update the screen or do what you re waiting for it to do occasional crashes firmware bugs ve had some crashes the latest one was when tried to do wikipedia search firmware seems to have some bugs worry about amazon com being able to remove stuff from your kindle like they have done in the past it would be like someone breaking into your house and removing book from your shelf with all your notes you had added because they later determined you weren suppose to have it believe they said they would never do this again but as long as they have the power to do so which believe they do it is entirely possible it will happen again can loan books to other people like you can with some other readers other see photos uploaded to reset restart kindle if it crashes freezes if connected to power remove the kindle from the power source slide the power switch to the right and hold it there for 15 seconds then release important hold for at least 15 seconds or the unit will just be turned off the screen should be blank for 30 seconds and then the kindle should restart 1 wow this is my first kindle and love love love it can set the font to read size that is comfortable for me like having custom printed book every time everything worked right out of the box perfectly was concerned that it would be technical and over UNK but not at all it is so easy have read several books on the same charge with out turning off the wifi and have the kindle cover with the light so no complaints on the charge either think may even read more and have noticed can read longer on the kindle than print possible the weight difference or the paper like screen 1 UNK kindle user was determined to not ever switch from my beloved books to kindle to me it was an UNK to give up the UNK of books but finally decided to give the kindle try since was carrying UNK of books with me the first kindle received had problem and customer service was fantastic and took care of it immediately when finally was able to use the new replacement kindle was totally surprised with the ease of use still have not UNK all the bells and whistles that this offers one of my favorite features is that kindle UNK up where left off reading eliminating the need and problems of bookmarks which would find themselves on the wrong page or fallen out completely generally read several books at one time so this is terrific feature ok have to admit that getting book delivered in 30 seconds or less is wonderful no more UNK packages that show up on my doorstep from my hubby it my UNK and love it the fact that the books are considerably cheaper with free delivery UNK the deal for me love the fact that many books are completely free too thanks kindle oh one more thing the battery life is outstanding how you do it feel as though have treasure that will last me lifetime thanks kindle 1 well love it got my kindle yesterday and im going to take the UNK route and say that so far its perfect have been an avid k2 user for over year but the background was too dark and the contrast not quite right with that said the device has saved me lot of money so stuck with it when heard about the new kindle and the price was disappointed because paid UNK for the first one and now cant even sell it because its linked to my credit card smart move amazon btw anyway bought the wifi version of the new one turned it on and wow what huge improvement the screen is clearer sharper the reading voice sounds smoother you can change the font and font type the keys feel great UNK less cheap than the other ones UNK feel smoother the back of the kindle feels less cheap as well its rubberized but doesnt stick to anything the transferring of content was very easy and each book took about seconds to download and went straight to the page left off on make sure to turn the wifi on your previous kindle on though didnt really browse the net because dont need to and never did with my k2 but the amazon book store was really UNK and worked much faster overall im very impressed no kinks so far love it 1 great reader but not so much for the academic let me start out by saying that the kindle3 is nifty little gadget get my favorite newspaper UNK of pdf and great selection of books all in lightweight device as fun reader think it more than lives up to its hype however as an academic device it fails terribly aside from the somewhat slow annotation function which stopped using because it is faster and easier to UNK notes in notebook there are no page numbers no page numbers means no easy way to UNK works while it is true that using the location instead of the page number is more precise it only works for the specific font size you are using in other words location is not UNK across formats or within formats the lack of UNK also UNK over to pdf that have been converted to the kindle format without UNK the kindle is about as useful as UNK bat when it comes to academic work hope that amazon UNK this UNK problem at least if they want to continue to UNK the academic market edit mistake about locations not dependent on font size but per UNK additionally there is movement on the academic front at least from what ve seen and not officially as of yet to UNK specific ebook files into UNK UNK format fingers UNK 1 new kindle user ve had the kindle for about week now and short story love it the screen is very crisp and has high contrast and love the black plastic construction most of all love the size was considering the dx or the ipad initially because thought would need the real estate but glad got this since it much more portable and still more than serves its purpose as new kindle user am very satisfied the long story is story of user UNK design currently in graduate study doing research on driver UNK design for UNK ve been UNK device that would purchase after history of use with an UNK netbook an iphone 3gs and my school and work desktop UNK the UNK netbook was perfect at the time with its low price point and basic but UNK net browsing capabilities once got my iphone it promptly saw less use now only UNK as portable video phone with UNK its built in camera and it still tremendous battery power between the netbook iphone and my computers would try to read pdfs and online documents but would frequently just push my annoyance until finally would just print the document out to read my most productive sessions of reading on an led screen would probably be UNK around 10 15 minutes if can finish the document or article by then would consider it not UNK as knowledge and just lost to the sea of the internet was interested in ink for while but thought it cumbersome solution to reading digital content at first but the third generation was UNK as soon as it came out and definitely have no regrets spent the week UNK 30 UNK pdfs that wanted to read and can say that ve managed to power through half of my material before the end of the week couple of novels and short stories that ve downloaded for leisure have been UNK even faster the screen is very easy to look at for hours at time even in the now UNK daylight of UNK late summer only UNK through my battery life and that because love sending documents through email and have even included friends emails in case they have interesting literature for me to read assume once have stable collection of books will definitely reach the month battery mark word files convert to the font UNK and dictionary lookup able amazon format and pdfs appear as pdfs to UNK formatting and images flip back and forth frequently and wish could UNK above the pages even if the pdf or document didn have table of contents UNK do like that the page flip buttons are on both sides and they re still intuitive when you change the orientation of the screen found like landscape for pdfs also wish that there was folder system in the home screen since the list always UNK depending on what was read recently if jumping between multiple documents it can get cumbersome trying to find what want to open other than that love the kindle the size is perfect it kind of UNK and feels great with the amazon leather cover and definitely lose myself looking at the screen and flipping along think will update this review once get more books under my UNK but do know the experience is just like book other than trying to find page or spot in book quickly which can happen in some literature though the bookmarking and notes features are sufficient and would still prefer the kindle rather than the 5000 pages of paper in my bag 1 excellent have owned my kindle for few weeks now and am more than delighted with it living in german speaking country where naturally 90 of book shops sell books in german find this device so practical it does exactly what it says with no UNK books are downloaded within 60 seconds at much more reasonable cost than printed versions no postage and no UNK of paper it really is just like reading book fits in your handbag and you can read any number of books simultaneously UNK between one and another without hitch perfect 1 awesome the good didn think would like the kindle compared to UNK book but after reading my first kindle book realized that this is the way of the future even in sunlight it still keeps it realistic paper page look awesome battery life allows you to look up words on the spot great price wireless setup was breeze can carry multiple books at time with no UNK light as feather UNK like UNK and UNK like UNK lol never UNK up etc etc etc the bad miss the feel and smell of the UNK paper books hard to read in dim room but that adds to the realistic page view wish more college text books came in the kindle version but believe they will follow suit soon and the text to speech needs much work the ugly the cases available are ugly as mother except for the old style kindle UNK skin case which says it doesn fit the new model but it seems to fit mine quite well who knew that UNK skin could smell so good lol over all am very happy with my purchase great buy for an avid reader 1 first ebook reader just in time for vacation just got mine well will not repeat all the beautiful comments others have made but all can say is wow will be taking this on my vacation to canada bought two so some lucky relative will be getting the other one very crisp screen and very intuitive to navigate can wait to go through the tips and tricks this baby can do like reading books don hesitate 1 perfection words are not adequate but thank you anyway and thank you so much for the frustration free UNK packaging at least amazon is are doing its part 1 so far so good but not outstanding UNK voice liking my kindle it was easy to set up downloads books in amazingly short time and think it going to be one of my favorite UNK love that will have selection of books with me anytime my only dislike so far is that there isn color sure it coming and that the text to speech sounds so incredibly robotic not worth listening to it doesn UNK correctly and sounds like number from the movie short UNK but for regular reading sure it going to be great hoping there is an update for more natural UNK voice soon 1 kindle3 compact faster and sharper everyone it seems was waiting for color and touch screen for the kindle3 not gonna happen according to jeff bezos for those of us who are kindle owners already this is real step up have had kindle for 18 months and love it read more on kindle still have some books but really prefer the kindle the kindle3 arrived in very secure box once opened found my graphite kindle 3g wifi ereader power adapter usb cable the UNK battery in place and quick start guide plugged it in and waited few mins to have enough power to start the kindle to insert it into my red UNK cover with an led light fits UNK and looks great the k3 is much more compact and has an ergonomic button placement the reduced size also makes it lighter in weight UNK fits into any purse or bag while the size is smaller the memory is twice as large the kindle 3g wifi has 4gb memory which can carry up to 3500 books at time have UNK books now and can share these books to the new owner of my old kindle2 the battery life is advertised up to one month that is with the wireless turned off the k3 seems to have more ergonomic design the page turn buttons are still on both sides of the screen but are now just one quarter of an inch wide and are UNK with and lt arrows instead of words the buttons are easier to press and much quieter the keyboard is smaller and the number buttons are found by pressing the symbol button the home and menu buttons are UNK found near the bottom of the k3 the screen has 50 more contrast and the pages turn faster can change the font type and line spacing there is also the addition of non english fonts the pdf is so much better and can now highlight and look up words in the dictionary plus for some is password protection file selected the 3g and obtain my books via whispernet but have the ability to use wifi the k3 like the k2 has the voice option like the voice option for menus the kindle3 is my reader and the manner in which read most books have many books on archive and can download them anytime amazon automatically creates an archived copy of my books the k3 supports cross platform sharing so my daughter who is the new owner of my kindle may read the same book or any of my other books the technology UNK the last page read and annotations the kindle has free access to at wifi networks audible audiobooks can now be downloaded wirelessly this is really nice reader highly recommended UNK 09 UNK 10 1 kindle 3g makes black and white screen cool again and the free 3g web and email works really well the newest amazon kindle 3g makes black and white screen cool again with their newest ink technology while hesitated to give kindle try because like the feel or real paper and initially thought it will probably take generation before paper books will become UNK the idea of convenience of having all your books on single device is so appealing and decided to check what the fuss is all about with this electronic reading device tried the nook first before UNK down with the kindle 3g not going to talk about the book reading experience since many people has covered it and will talk more about the web experience and some tips on how to check your web mail etc which think is really good especially if you set your expectation right and if you are travelling lot and don have unlimited data plan in your UNK kindle can be very useful to check your UNK maps direction travel restaurant recommendation etc how the screen ink compare to color lcd or paper book well nothing is like paper book for sure but it close enough for me to recommend people to at least give it try and compared to the color lcd again to view photos and multimedia color lcd wins but for basic function reading book browsing some basic pages and checking web email and reading staring at the screen for long time will give the black and white kindle ink the edge refresh rate isn as fast as lcd and sometime the previous page black ink doesn turn to white right away and for split second old and new pages are UNK together before only the new pages web pages are fully displayed but this could be just the feature limitation of ink it bothers me bit in the beginning but used to it now why do choose kindle 3g vs nook while like nook extra color screen read book for free with your nook when you use your nook at barnes store lend your book to your friends replace your battery yourself the kindle is thinner lighter faster have keyboard free 3g web downloading and browsing nook 3g only allow book download also kindle navigating system with the arrow button is much more superior than nook especially on navigating the web why do choose the white over the grey kindle decided the white keyboard button might be easier to read few people said the grey color keyboard is harder to read plus the white kindle looks cool like macbook or the original apple ipod some said the grey color is distracting while some other said the white makes the screen background not as white in the end think it just going to be about personal preference why do say the web UNK is great the browser is basic and amazon marked is as experimental but the newest version of the browser that come with kindle 3g can load complex pages that contain UNK the web has article mode where it UNK complex pages into one single column and make it easier to read navigate navigating isn the best experience how do check my UNK yahoo and gmail with kindle 3g through the 3g network you can check the standard website but recommend using the mobile version as it is faster more readable as it is formatted for mobile devices with smaller screen and more stable less UNK javascript on the mobile version but if the standard pages works fine UNK you here my step by step tips to check your email on kindle over the free 3g UNK for yahoo email go to the yahoo mobile email website UNK yahoo UNK com UNK mail or mobile main yahoo website UNK yahoo UNK com to read news instead of checking email enter user name and password and go to your UNK bookmark the page and next time you can just use the bookmark to go your UNK right away depending on what option you choose you might not have to type in your UNK and password and just visit bookmarked page and or click UNK to bring your newest for google email for some reason can type my user name and password on the gmail mobile site so use the following method and it works go to the standard gmail website gmail UNK com enter UNK and password then go to the gmail mobile after you successfully login to the standard gmail page then type go to the mobile gmail site UNK gmail UNK come and go to your UNK remember to bookmark the page after you go to your UNK if you need to UNK repeat from step otherwise just go to the gmail mobile UNK right away through the bookmark for UNK UNK haven tried it but imagine it going to be similar using the UNK mobile or UNK mobile website let me know if it doesn work how do navigate within page choose buttons links to click since kindle has no mouse wish kindle has touch pad or track ball but for now the directional arrow button for navigation is acceptable good enough it will allow us to choose links or button to click the side button help to scroll up and down the page when browsing the web having said all that in my opinion the directional button is probably the most critical UNK of the device and the screen itself probably comes second one might UNK to use keyboard shortcuts but it not the same kind of like using desktop laptop with only keyboard what are some of the other uses of kindle 3g you can do facebook twitter and many other social networking activities you can read newspaper magazine periodicals and have it delivered electronically you can also play games of the games already UNK for free and they are quite fun every row and shuffled row which are word UNK game like scrabble hope you enjoy your kindle as much as do when you decided to join the bandwagon and get one happy kindling UNK UNK 1 my first kindle ve owned it for about week and for it being my first kindle it is great own an ipad and ve read books on there but my big complaint about it is that your eyes get tired from looking at the screen for long time it great all around device but wouldn recommend it for reading novels ve never owned kindle before but enjoy the ease of buying and downloading books and the page turns seem quick to me same rate as you would turning page was used to touching the screen on my ipad to look up word but using the way button isn too bad it does take some getting used to because it small and me having small fingers did have some trouble using it at first catch myself wanting to go back few pages using the left forward button but it obviously going forward and not backwards the contrast is great and makes it very easy to read off of you can surf the web under the experimental part of the device it does load kind of slow because it loading up the actual website not mobile site but like how can click on an article and go into article mode and just have the text and be able to use the page turn buttons to scroll down another cool experimental feature is the text to speech which doesn do bad job like to use it and follow it while reading this was the best risk ve made pre ordered weeks before it came out and am impressed by how much amazon has developed the kindle this is definitely an awesome gift for an avid reader or even like me only sometimes reading books before the kindle the kindle actually made me want to read more because always on the go and never have time and now UNK it out on long waits through out the day and getting few pages in before bed 0 good unit when it works kindle is great device and great book reader however am not here to review the product concept but the product itself have been using it for almost month now in these days the unit had frozen on me times today it won even turn on and the charge light won even come on the ac adapter is plugged in had to slide and hold the power switch for more than minute before it came UNK and battery indicator shows it out of battery even though had the unit in charge for more than hours have called the UNK free kindle support number and wait time was significant overall this is my first kindle and while love the service this unit just UNK sucks this is another one of those made in china piece of crap that somehow passed the UNK chinese quality control very disappointed 0 disappointing and clunky wireless purchased the kindle in order to read books and newspapers while traveling particularly for long international flights love the reading device clear clean text that is pleasing to the eye and with straightforward page navigation however if you can access content that just makes it all the more frustrating unfortunately the wifi is clunky and full of bugs as is the experimental and primitive internet browser this kindle doesn handle certain wifi access passwords well most UNK those found in UNK UNK and in hotels for those wifi access points that require password be entered on website the kindle is supposed to open the browser to UNK the password entry it sometimes worked sometimes did not it was not clear when it worked why it had and vice versa the slightly more costly 3g model might be the better choice for travelers until amazon fixes the wifi version bugs 1 terrific reader not great browser am giving the kindle five stars based on its performance as reader which is the use bought it for if were UNK in the browser application which is still in experimental or beta stage it would be something lower as that particular app is still quite awkward to use and definitely needs improvement as reader though this little baby is gem it is so each to navigate the ink screen really is quite incredible often just stare at it in amazement know much has been said about it already but it really is great as everyone says it is think one of my favorite little things is that each time turn my kindle off an incredibly detailed picture of UNK author map or picture of something else comes up as sort of screen saver until you turn it on again since this is ink and not lit display once the pictures is in place it takes no more power to keep it there until you turn the unit back on very cool page turning is simple and quick the whisper sync works very well had already selected some free books out of the kindle store and it quickly moved them over for me was also able to move personal word files onto my kindle using this feature not much else to say other than recommend the kindle 1 great it is just what wanted really don think needed the 3g though easy to read did alot of research before bought and think the kindle is the best for the money 1 3g is must so glad they use at and not sprint fantastic device leather lighted cover is must battery life is UNK manufacturing quality is first rate love the graphite color 1 great reading device found the new kindle to be an excellent device for reading many articles have read lately compare the ipad to the kindle and you just can compare the two the kindle is designed for reading the ipad everything else for the price you can go wrong it quality built device that easy to use and works as designed 1 love it great for you older readers have had my kindle for week now everything good said about it is true it was my birthday present from me to me read many many reviews and would give it stars if could being out in the country wondered how well it would download my books no problem thought it was only paper books for me until used this device now up with the times and saving some trees in the bargain so to you older readers get one you won be sorry 1 new kindle user ordered the kindle because am having problems with my eyes and seeing to read is hard at times as an avid reader this was very scary to me love the kindle on days when my eyes are bad just increase the font size it is just like holding paperback only easier to read only did the wifi version since live in the middle of nowhere and figured it was the best option have dsl connection to the internet and 50 wifi router when go to the screen to order the book and hit home to return to the main page the book is there cannot believe the speed of the downloads also downloaded using the usb cable connected to my pc and was amazed at how fast that was as well the only thing would like to see improved is the search in the kindle store from the kindle you actually have to UNK the author name correctly have gotten too used to the amazon site that will fix all of my typos and still find my favorite authors also it doesn seem to let me search by author and series by that author right now can find the books on the amazon site and send them to my kindle in seconds but would like the better search function on the kindle itself one unexpected feature were the dictionaries that came with the kindle and automatically link to the books all you have to do is arrow to word and the UNK definition is there for you purchased the kindle version of the bible and UNK bible dictionary setup the kindle to use the bible dictionary as my default and can now have automatic definitions while reading the bible overall am extremely pleased with the kindle work on computers all day and was afraid it would be too much screen time but for me it is actually easier to read than book 1 excellent what can say it does everything the description said it would do got delivered yesterday works without glitch already did UNK of excited shopping it is amazing to thing that by shopping on us website get thing downloaded in an instant to my device in australia UNK this is how world works now but UNK nonetheless web browsing leaves much to be desired yet could not UNK UNK or facebook but could read newspapers online blogs wiki etc free 3g global UNK is definitely huge UNK as travel often look forward to having access to the world library on my next overseas trip love it 1 love love love the kindle am not normally one who reviews too many items but can get enough of the kindle just had to share my pleasure over this purchase ordered my kindle on august UNK and received it on sept 9th absolutely love it the star UNK no longer is delivered to our small town but now my husband can get it on the kindle that however does create some usage issues with who gets to use the kindle and when ordered second kindle today problem solved lighted blue cover for UNK pink for me ve always loved to read but this makes it so much better love to play the games too way to go amazon thanks 1 yes little door to all the books in the world yes the battery lasts yes it is easy to use yes it is worth every little dime have laptops have had kindle for pc for while and am getting tablet for watching videos and other color stuff but for book want as close to book as can get color videos drain battery down to hrs ipad UNK read too much hours at time and need battery that lasts and lasts on my laptops the UNK not only hurt your eyes but damage them if you read as much as do the kindle is so perfect it is the first product that completely does what it is supposed to do not UNK UNK functionality to do everything and does it top notch not only travel but live in small space no longer had room to store books and the trouble of dropping them off or going to library and then when would want to re read book later down the road well had to stop my avid reading UNK this solves all that for me and much more found it is much easier to read than paperback much lighter easier to turn pages find where you left off it does it for you in each book you start and organizes them with categories called collections plus can search for words look words up and even make notes all without paper space or extra effort of any kind can go to the doctor and bring all of my books magazines it worth it just for that convenience when read series if missing one just buy it or re download it from my amazon storage wow to make the battery last keep wifi off unless you are downloading also it UNK every word in books mags you download for searching purposes so when can if order new book or even add one from my previous book collection generally leave the usb charger in while it is indexing new books indexing and wifi use the battery heavily of course they say to not let this type of battery go much below 25 btw to make collections alphabetical see this comment often do this use symbols then sort by title switch to sort by most recent when want to get back to the book was reading when finished keep sorted by title so that can go down my categories to pick my next read certain symbols stay on top of others for example my category is note the symbol in front 1st one stays on top of the other types of symbols order is UNK quote UNK then whatever and then lt then personal docs reference subscriptions UNK don use yet UNK don use yet but know they go on top of the following if need another top collection UNK people classics mystery UNK keep those that aren in series yet or UNK author categorize them below non fiction business UNK series UNK UNK 18 using for UNK series am reading it tells you how cat who series UNK UNK UNK club UNK lt UNK UNK lt for authors by UNK order lt UNK UNK except cat who lt UNK UNK except UNK series so it is very easy to get it into UNK order probably should have posted that in forum instead other great feature is search just start typing and it brings up in relevant order so you can quickly find what you are looking for if like me you already have almost 000 books in your new kindle not all of them in collections yet also was able to convert or even with mobi just slide into my kindle all my previous book collections had on my laptop well not done yet have over 000 books and ve purchased some new bestsellers that downloaded so quickly afraid ll be buying more books now that can get the next in series immediately like this will now only have books for coffee table huge picture reference books can read anything on the kindle that was reading before and can save 000 of trees paperbacks can be for kindling it is truly is so very lightweight can read with either hand lay it down to do something and keep reading and so UNK that amazon put their focus 100 on reader also love the experimental browser as like to look up authors other stuff on wikipedia make quick check of my gmail yahoo mail accounts or google maps on occasion also read blogs and other web pages on it with some minor learning to work things without mouse had no idea how much would like it until got it last week for my birthday have wanted it for years have friends that have previous version they love but this one was worth waiting for in my opinion don care how much they add to future models this is exactly what wanted and needed couldn ask for more and at this price buying one for several family members for christmas if you are reader think you ll be thrilled with this product even over the couple others nook but do like did and read every single thing you can get your hands on about them before you make your decision read about every reader every tablet for over weeks hard work then made the move to kindle do not regret it one tiny little bit 1 the best reader ve received my kindle more than week ago and since then reading the first book bought today for the first time something happened to me and guess it won be the last was so focused on the reading that tried to turn to the next page just like with paper book kindle is indeed wonderful reader and everything written about it on amazon it true 1 pleasantly pleased received my k3 today and after reading all the reboot problems with UNK updates am very happy to have an updated system that works great so far the only issue that have seen is that my 3g will not connect under any UNK did not know that they had changed their service over to at until after ordered mine and we have UNK coverage of at in my area my husband has the k2 and has no problem connecting anywhere with the sprint service wish had known that and could have saved the 50 bucks and bought the wifi only water under the UNK maybe at will have better service here soon on the other hand my wifi connection is super fast and great thank goodness guess would be out of luck without it overall am ecstatic and glad that dont have to steal UNK anymore UNK k3 also bought the lighted cover and love it also 1 major improvement on the having used kindle and kindle software on the iphone and pc was unsure that much could be improved on an already excellent product purchased kindle wifi no cellular 3g connection and after about five weeks of waiting the kindle was delivered the packaging was great and the setup no brainer out of the box the kindle is charged and ready to go UNK the wireless setup is pretty much fool proof kindle is automatically registered to you and all of the books subscriptions and such you had in your old k2 are accessible on the k3 within minutes two comments on the new vs old much better screen contrast is much improved due to the smaller UNK and graphite colored plastic much better look and feel easier on the eye and less UNK the wifi version is 50 cheaper than the 3g enabled version can not see much reason to spring for the extra UNK buy books for the difference in short amazon is keeping up and learning from the upgrade UNK UNK of apple and hopefully also learning from the palm UNK keep improving keep making the value unbeatable and the kindle store will make you UNK more innovations please did 30 minute comparison of the readability of k3 vs UNK and on ipad prefer k3 for plain reading for magazines and newspaper not so much more room for improvement there short and UNK good product as timely upgrade perfectly priced and UNK 1 love it love it love it love everything about it can read for hours and no eyestrain at all the print in paperback books is now to small for me to read even with my UNK on this is wonderful reader have found no cons at all to this device am so happy purchased the kindle love that every time turn it off different UNK design comes up they are all so beautiful sometimes don want to turn the kindle on for couple minutes just so can look at the UNK amazon rocks 1 have mentioned really love my kindle that what said at UNK this morning while sitting at UNK UNK table reading the saturday edition of the UNK post lot has already been written and just want to add few thoughts this thing rocks if you like reading hate the idea of magazines and newspapers piling up in the house want something that is portable and very user friendly take advantage of amazon new pricing on this product and buy kindle it is my first ereader and have nothing to compare it to except for the text on computer screen of those two there is no comparison the eink on the kindle screen is perfection and makes this the perfect reading device add the kindle cover with the slide out light that is powered by the kindle and you have nice little device that does anything you may desire concerning an ebook with just little bit of fiddling it can handle any format do some simple searching about on the internet and there are free applications to easily convert epub docs to the kindle mobi file format there are also free applications to make the kindle public library friendly 1 solid amazing device got rid of sony ereader love my new kindle it is so easy to download books from amazon find the book and click on it UNK my kindle stories up has new book the sony was very nice but it was heavier and you had to connect the book to computer to download the screen on the kindle is bigger and brighter the selection of books is much greater on amazon can wait to get UNK cover for it one thing notice is that read more and books that normally wouldn read my UNK UNK phone UNK to the kindle and can read anywhere on my phone right where left off it connects to facebook and you can send UNK from the book to your homepage built in dictionary and more fun things to do with it that haven tried get one you won be disappointed and you will become reader save space in your home and become UNK in technology and all the free books you can read that you don have to drive to the library to get 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi display graphite 3g works globally latest UNK love it it is easy to use and take it with me everywhere go 1 wifi kindle more than expected so easy set up plugged it in to charge and while was doing that went to manage my kindle and UNK to download all UNK of my books that were on my 2nd generation kindle no hesitation or need to reboot the wifi UNK located my wireless in my home and within three hours and the green go ahead light was reading the contrast is very UNK held it up to my old kindle and the size and weight difference is welcome when holding it for long periods of reading time have the wifi turned off now and am anxious to see how long the battery will really last but leave it to say have not been disappointed yet 1 great love it bought the kindle wondering if it would be worth the money and if would really like reading on the kindle vs book well love it the only negative for me is that can no longer share my books with non kindle owners but so far my kindle has convinced my sister to purchase one and you can share if someone is on your account which my sister will be think this is well worth it can read for hours some days do and it did not hurt my eyes feel holding it is much easier than book right now am reading an 800 page book on my kindle and like carrying the kindle over such large book also the books for kindle are cheaper and noticed do not get UNK for the books buy over amazon currently live in UNK and there is tax on books feel like it will save me money in the long term and love the portability of the kindle would highly recommend want to mention do not feel the 3g is necessary so bought the wi fi and do not regret that decision books were easy to download and if you are going on trip where you may not have wifi you can just load up on the books before you leave one other UNK negative for me the buttons to turn the pages are in slightly awkward place imo dont know if it is because have small hands but wish they were not so close to the edge of the kindle this does not keep me from loving my kindle 1 kindle is the best have just opened and set up my new kindle was traveling so opened the box outside of the us within two minutes was done 3g and wi fi connected immediately without any problem have downloaded my books searched the web and started reading this was UNK experience that can not describe my satisfaction owned the previous generation and for short period owned the new nook so can compare them both with one word the new kindle is excellent it is an outstanding book strongly recommend to all who loves to read and enjoys to have an excellent reading experience UNK amazon kindle 1 UNK UNK experience with kindle wi fi just received my new kindle from amazon week ago my overall experience with my kindle wi fi 139 is excellent as told my friend this is the 2nd most useful human invention after the UNK also love those free classical books amazon offered already finished few of them kindle is easy for the eye easy to use the dictionary is especially useful for me to look up new words however if there is only one improvement to be made for the next version wish the following features to be improved added the way controller key is too close to back key while using way controller key to see dictionary one may easily presses back key by accident this will mess up the current page one was reading and it very difficult to UNK the current page the back key will lead to wrong place and there is no easy way to come back to the page was reading this is little annoying other than that everything else is fine there should be another page up down keys on the back side of the device think of this many readers would hold the reader with one hand while reading how can you press the next page previous page keys with the same hand holding the reader look at the amazon ad girl reading on beach chair she holds the reader with both hands the only solution for one hand reader is to add page down up keys on the back side of the reader then one can flip pages with the same hand holding the reader 1 my birthday gift was ordered on august 21st and was expecting to receive my first kindle by september 17th was happy to receive days before my birthday love the screen and everything about it just awesome ready to start reading asap thank you amazon for making this great birthday gift 1 if you want an ebook reader get kindle before you ask no don work for amazon just recently recieved my kindle and so impressed thought write review first off my new kindle arrived about week early so if you see an expected delivery date you might get nice surprise the packaging was simple but quite stylish and like other people was rather amazed to see some instructions written on the screen telling me what to do the point being these are actually written on the kindle screen not on the UNK down to the nuts and UNK the device really is lovely to hold and look at it weighs hardly anything so you can hold it for ages no worries there no eye strain at all in different types of lighting you can read it for hours unlike regular lcd screen which UNK headaches if you try to read an ebook or long document well it does to me the controls are pretty UNK and easy to use slight UNK is that have fairly big fingers and the cursor is little UNK for me once you play around with it for an hour or so you re quite familiar with most of the functions have play with the text to speech not bad at all connecting to wifi is straightforward best off to create your account have it ready before you switch on downloading is easy and hassle free using the usb cable piece of cake really UNK transfer UNK UNK UNK of books documents in matter of seconds also don need plug as it UNK off my computer live in spain but english so getting hold of books written in english isn all that easy and quite expensive so ve been UNK with the idea of an ebook reader for some time and glad chose the kindle recommend this to just about anyone whose considering getting an ebook reader and seriously no don work for amazon 1 great UNK ve had the kindle 3g for over week now and it re kindled my love of reading not that got so far away from reading do it all day long on lcd screen it just that had lost my passion for UNK reading was originally worried that the type would be wrong and even though could size it up who wants to read six words per page find that ve been able to make the type even UNK than thought and get lots of words on the page tend to use the built in lamp on my kindle cover and that UNK up the juice lot have to recharge every couple of days believe that the true test of whether or not it was replaced paper books is that so completely lose site of the the fact it is an electronic reading device that still go to the top right of the kindle to turn the page all the time nice job amazon 1 this really is the best just got mine two days ago have been playing with it lot so far don experience any problem with the battery the collection feature works like wonder and find that reading more with it than with my kobo have kobo and can honestly say that kobo doesn even deserve to be in the same room with kindle 1 shipping issues UNK ratings received my kindle on sept after ordering it on august amazon was very clear in communicating with me that it would be shipped on or after sept it did ship on sept and would have been received on sept as they UNK but that was UNK day was able to track the package through amazon site after ordering my wifi only thought perhaps prefer the 3g so ordered that on august 16 and believe amazon said it would ship by sept 10 received message saying it shipped on august if had ordered day shipping would expect to receive it on sept 11 but took the free shipping so will watch for it on sept 16 as amazon UNK choose free shipping whenever can because that means free shipping back if am not satisfied will return whichever kindle don wish to keep and amazon makes that very easy and painless as well that is one of the reasons ordered the kindle knew that would be able to return one or both if was not satisfied mention all of this because it UNK me more than just bit that many low ratings are due only to the UNK of amazon very clear UNK wonder how much closer to stars the average rating of the kindle itself would be if this issue was not taken into consideration that said this is my first ereader UNK finally got the better of me when the price dropped with this version seriously considered the nook because of the capability of borrowing library ebooks tend to use the library more than purchasing books spent much time trying the nook at our local store and felt be disappointed mostly because of slow speed at moving the cursor when taking notes and other slow responses which forced me to slow down and wait so far am enjoying the kindle it UNK quickly and is very easy to read ve downloaded bunch of free books and actually paid for few too think will be keeping the 3g version when receive it because our wireless at home is secured and has 26 UNK password which could never UNK that goes back and forth between letters and numbers would really have liked dedicated number buttons would prefer to be able to just turn the kindle on and be ready to go and would prefer to keep my wireless network secured 1 great device really love my kindle but stopped buying books since the price of most books went up to 12 99 or more will wait for the local library to get them was warned that amazon was going to UNK the cost and they did 1 tiny tiny mouse have the kindle and the kindle latest generation like the way navigator on the kindle much better than the mouse on the latest gen the latest gen frame where the up down right and left are is sooo narrow and it is easy to press the back button by mistake the contrast and overall size of the latest gen is great UNK 1 better than paper and UNK better than ipad this is my fifth kindle and can for the first time say that prefer reading on my newest kindle as compared to paper books and certainly as compared to laptop or ipad with some very few UNK the newest kindle is huge winner and at this price just buy it and ask questions later for owners of previous kindles this upgrade is really no brainer amazon finally got it right adding key features that have been waiting for native pdf support integrated reading light with optional kindle cover highly recommended smaller and lighter incredible contrast improvement clearer fonts faster page turns wifi great for web browsing and true html webkit based browser for folks who have never used the kindle before or maybe used the first generation kindle and gave up would strongly recommend trying this latest kindle first it is really important to understand that the kindle is not intended to be web browsing device though it does do an okay job and great job for blogs and news pages that do not rely on color flash or UNK it is also not intended to be UNK device or replacement for your laptop if you want game machine laptop replacement or want to run apps get the ipad or one of the UNK android tablets second understand that the kindle is device focused on reading replacement for paper books reading blogs and news sites no video on the internet it is not really general purpose device like the ipad with that in mind here is why the kindle is truly the best device on the market for reading if you look at these features you will quickly see that no other device comes close super high contrast ink screen and high resolution fonts folks who complain that the screen is dim are obviously comparing the kindle to laptop or ipad which have UNK or led backlight that will cause fatigue even though it appears UNK lit for long duration reading if you instead compare the kindle to an actual paper book you will quickly realize that the screen contrast on the kindle is as good or better than most real paper books that is because the kindle uses real ink like book rather than lighting UNK like lite UNK computer screen ambient light UNK off the surface of the kindle just like it does when you read book turn out the lights and you cannot see the page for reading this is an advantage over lcd led screens which are essentially UNK light in your eyes you can read all day on kindle and suffer no eye fatigue at all further you can read in direct sunlight in the middle of beach like the commercial and UNK text appears clear as day of course just like printed book you need light at night or in dim lighting the optional kindle cover with integrated reading light is perfect for this and uses the kindle own battery so you don need batteries or separate charger carry it anywhere the form factor is medium size paperback book the screen is just about the exact size of regular size paperback book of course the kindle is the thickness of pencil so even easier to hold and carry around versus paperback even with the leather cover it is still less thick than paperback novel and it weight even less even the UNK ipad is no match for the ease of carrying that the kindle offers slip it in purse or even the inside pocket of men jacket and you are good to go unlike an ipad you can hold the kindle in your hand for hours and it will never feel heavy read all week or longer on charge battery life is rated at 10 days for normal usage find that need to recharge about once every two weeks but my usage is probably lighter than normal as tend to read at night for hours also note that you can easily turn wireless off you don need it except to download new books and get several weeks of battery life out of single charge easy portable charging the kindle can charge from any powered usb port laptop or usb charger it uses an industry standard micro usb cable to charge bought an inexpensive UNK micro usb cord that put in my travel kit and use the same cord to charge my phone and the kindle though rarely does the kindle need charging during trips the kindle comes with very small usb charger if you don already have one the same size the charger used by current generation apple iphone devices durable unlike tablets the kindle screen appears to be some kind of plastic while it isn UNK it will survive far more UNK drops versus any lcd led device on the market especially ones like the ipad that use glass cover in several generations of kindles and many drops and other UNK have yet to cause damage to the screen or any other part of the kindle read in direct sunlight when am on vacation like to bring books to read on the beach or in UNK UNK you cannot easily read an lcd led screen in sunlight so the tablets just cannot replace books for outdoor reading no matter how bright you can make their screens the kindle excels in these UNK carry your entire library with you all of the above points apply equally to paper books however if you have ever gone on long trip and tried to pack your reading material you will immediately understand the main advantage that the kindle has over paper books you can load literally thousands of books on kindle and it still weights about the same as small paperback before travel or during with global 3g load up language books travel UNK maps notes in pdf format historical UNK and reference books magazines and of course your fiction collection all without taking any room in your backpack or luggage save money for now kindle books are generally less expensive than their paperback counterparts book publishers are fighting to change this but for now the kindle will pay for itself in savings from reading material in short order if you are an avid reader there is also large library of free books mostly with UNK UNK but including most of the classics buy anywhere read anywhere using your kindle you can buy books so long as you have connection however usually buy on my laptop no matter the books are UNK downloaded to the kindle without any action required on your part if you have more than one kindle you can share notes and highlights also you can download the pc or blackberry application for kindle free and read on your laptop or blackberry in case you forgot your kindle kindle sync to the last page read so when you read few pages on your blackberry and then move to the kindle it UNK to where you last read on all devices 10 internal pdf reader finally the kindle can read pdf must be loaded via usb cable and they render perfectly have started to move work documents over to my pdf for review in more comfortable locations editing is not possible but notes are UNK and can be UNK via pc from the amazon com web site 11 listen to music and audible books this is not going to replace your ipod anytime soon but the kindle does have UNK speakers and very good sound management of music books is limited so you will need something like UNK to load mp3s audible software now owned by amazon works great for managing audiobooks have several audiobooks for times when don feel like reading as well as some of my favorite mp3 mp3 and audible compatibility are must UNK for me so the kindle gets pass on this the bad nothing really at least not as book reader where the kindle is really nearly perfect would love color screen touchscreen with finger swipe page flipping like the ipad video capability replaceable battery and UNK but any of those features would add considerably to the size weight and would substantially reduce battery life so until technology improves by UNK leap prefer the longer battery life and lighter weight of the kindle the one complaint that amazon has not addresses is UNK storage UNK card would add no weight nor would it take much or any battery life it would also allow me to load most of my music library on UNK card thus replacing my ipod for most purposes amazon could even integrate the kindle with its mp3 stores do not understand why amazon UNK this feature except that possibly amazon did not want to be seen as an ipod competitor to be clear don think the kindle ever will be an ipod killer its purpose is not music but having music capability without UNK slot limits this secondary function too much 0 kindle 3g why can you just make it simple and tell me when you do not have an item in stock to ship as advertised so will not order from amazon leave for month long trip and was hoping to have my kindle before UNK if not ll by another brand 1 first kindle at week review wanted to wait awhile before writing my review and it has been very good experience for me first off had no trouble with downloading books reading figuring out the UNK and UNK of text size orientation dictionary all things related to just reading before purchasing looked at the available books prices and variety so could make an informed decision as reader am in love feel will always have book to read ready in an instant my model is 3g and wi fi am no UNK UNK speaking have had wireless in my home for years and work in it but don think would have trouble hooking my reader to the wireless even if wasn about the internet browser it is listed under experimental read enter at your own risk still am able to visit my favorite sites which ve bookmarked though sometimes it is slow and has once frozen up think this function should be treated as beta application and there should be some UNK discussion with amazon UNK and those using the reader to work out the bugs it should be considered then in the testing UNK and we the UNK should be UNK for same free books or something similar just thought all in all still give it stars as wonderful reader and am glad purchased it 1 my kindle think my kindle is amazing can think of any negative thing about it 1 amazing finally received my kindle after nearly one month of waiting and am in love so much so that UNK to order two others as gifts for others this definitely must be shared love the convenience of having the kindle hated to read on subway when others can see the cover of what you re reading kindle solves that problem kindle is super fast and love the features love the fact that you can organize your books into various collections depending on your taste and if book fits into various categories no problem you can have duplicate copies do think may need to get cover with light though because at time when reading in poorly lit areas an extra boost of light would be helpful havent played with all the features yet but am wondering if can get some of the books in other languages meaning whether kindle will provide UNK of books so that particular book can be made available accessible in various languages then would be in heaven its already my must take with me everywhere electronic next to my cell phone 1 what has amazon done what has amazon done they are on the UNK of taking out more than half of the publisher job the printed page you have given us UNK an easy UNK mobile device that eliminates the need to go to book store or carry around thick pile of paper and UNK bound together as promised simply forgot more than once that didn have an actual book in my hands and tried to turn the page good thing and not only that you have made it easier to find out of print books no more waiting in line to get the latest and greatest from our favorite authors and then finding out that they are sold out have also saved fair amount of money so far in UNK and printed book prices on my UNK in the military that is great thing wish that this device was available when was in the UNK where space is limited it new UNK for finding my way back to the printed page the only problems see are the pdfs transferred over can be in colour the page turning buttons in my opinion it only needs two one on the left for previous page and one on the right for next page the letters used for numbers should have printing over them to indicate the UNK number when the alt key is pressed find myself counting the letters but would never trade my kindle in for an ipad if you gave me one for free this thing is simply amazing great name for great device UNK 1 awesome finally my kindle g3 3g wi fi arrived couldn be happier yes it worth the long wait when received the shipping in route email immediately started shopping for books when my kindle arrived my books were loaded and my reading began yes after reading some of the negative reviews was worried so glad didn get faulty system the kindle work right out the box good job amazon 1 wonderful while knew would be happy with the product wasn expecting to love it quite this much 1 the new one rocks great changes made to the kindle and love this one much easier to read in all light conditions love it now reading is much more enjoyable and easy than the previous one and everything is faster downloads are also real fast and more user friendly like the new overall size much easier to carry when traveling and hold when reading it lighter faster easier nicer the wi fi connection is fast and easy this unit is no brainer to use and UNK upon receiving it they got this one right highly recommend it and am really really pleased now 1 happy recommend got my kindle today it is much better than the previous version can visit russian websites its faster easier to use smaller nicer its perfect just wish it had UNK screen and thats probably all transferred all my stuff from the previous one to new one easily and the amazon cover looks nicer than the same one but for previous kindle it fits love it 1 when UNK what hate is when browsing and it buys itself the way bottom is ultra sensitive and had the problem twice money was returned but after wasting time looking where to email anyway couldn do without it it UNK near my head 1 updates fixed initial problems bought this as an anniversary gift for my wife she has wanted kindle ever since they first came out she was very excited about the surprise but on the second day of ownership it began doing strange things multiple reboots mostly when in the kindle store which is not good if you are trying to buy books and then eventually locked screen the customer service rep spoke with was very professional and walked me through some steps to UNK the kindle and download software update we have not had problem since lesson for others if you have new kindle check for software update before anything else we are very happy with the kindle and after we use it for while we will probably buy at least one more we UNK our kids and kindles and ebooks are much cheaper than UNK of bookshelves do recommend the kindle wifi version to anyone who wants an inexpensive yet nice ereader 1 re kindling an old UNK purchased kindle about year ago then sold it and purchased an ipad have now sold my ipad and gone back to the kindle with kindle for one couldn resist the lower price point the only decent wireless coverage in the area live is UNK so having 3g is not essential to me if going on trip can download lots of books so either way have lots of choices versus packing several physical books for trip also discovered that the ipad UNK me from reading the ipad is great and may want one again in the future but didn read on it as much as anticipated would the kindle and now the kindle are easy to take to the gym to read had hard time keeping my ipad on the UNK of the machine was working out on no problems with the kindle others have had problems with the software freezing or randomly rebooting have not had that problem will say that if you want to place pdfs on an reader you re better off with kindle dx or ipad with larger screen 1 really nice reader bought this reader for my papers it can handle all pdf papers really well in landscape reading pdf scanned as image is also possible finally if someone is wondering it can read all kind of greek pdf really useful gadget 1 amazing experience it is an amazing experience easy to use good design and cute really it is right reader device for any one and the most important thing for me can read arabic pdf file with it enjoy 1 kindle have owned 1st generation kindle for several years love it have had no problems with it and read lot of novels on it travel fairly often and appreciate the ease of taking the kindle over taking several novels some types of books like reference books UNK etc are not really formatted for an reader in my opinion know some students would disagree with me on this but the kindle suits my needs for reading novels don know how will like shipping it back to amazon when need new battery but that remains to be seen also have an iphone and love the feature of accessing my kindle books on my iphone to me it makes no sense to read newspapers and periodicals on kindle when they are otherwise accessible on the internet as said my primary purpose is novels plan to replace it with another kindle when the time comes 1 my kindle absolutely loved my kindle had UNK and when it UNK in year months felt so lost and started reading my books on the itouch kindle version while it was ok just received my kindle 3g yesterday and was thrilled at the size of it the case that purchased had the light built into it and fits perfect while am not sure what the 3g really will buy me thrilled that am once again UNK with my kindle does anyone know someone who fixes the UNK without spending fortune it UNK me to throw it away because the screen has black out spots and the light is dim it still turns on 1 real simple for me works like book weighs less ve been kindle owner and user since the beginning broke the screen on two of them by being an idiot and UNK them into too small of space lost one in the back seat pocket of an airplane so ve had few UNK to re UNK owning kindle well do own one use it every day and it works travel every week and used to subscribe to UNK magazines so when finished them could leave them behind and at least my briefcase would be lighter at the end of trip than at the beginning hated having to read whatever newspaper hotel or UNK chose to leave at my door read very few books because the weight and size just didn work with travel when finished book have to carry it around until got home with it since often will go back and re read my kindle contains UNK reading history UNK technical book or two and junk food mostly science fiction of all sorts can now read what UNK for and not what happen to have packed get my home newspaper every day and read it in many different UNK still love the feel and smell of paper so get it delivered physically at home and my family reads that from time to time but no longer now find myself reading about high school UNK UNK and city UNK meetings in UNK am only passing through UNK still when see people complain that the screen isn back lit my physical books and newspapers aren either and if you ve ever read on backlit screen for several hours like you would with good book you understand the main reason you don want an reader to be backlit like some are today your eyes aren built to handle back lighting well and you ll end up with eye strain of some sort as result ve tried backlit reading off and on for years and recently tried reading on my ipod touch and the results are the same it just fine for few minutes to an hour but if you get hooked into good novel and can put it down you ll regret it or if you get UNK on the UNK during UNK which is more what happens to me so can read it in the dark but can read it by the light of my music player phone or UNK and it just not that hard to find light sources lots easier than trying to get dark and un reflective enough conditions to read off backlit screen the massive battery life is another great result of no back lighting ve seen people frustrated on an airplane or in an airport when their phone or ipad runs out of power turn my kindle wireless on for five minutes in the morning to get my newspaper and magazines then off again and ve gone weeks without re charging reading the paper and filling and killing time in airports and on flights my son in law loves his for that reason as UNK in the middle east his kindle is always there to get him through the long periods of UNK on UNK that seem to fill the spaces between the more active moments other guys in his unit have now bought kindles for the same reason they used to all carry book or two and swap them around as they finished them during UNK which meant sometimes all you had to read were things you rather not miss color pictures miss great quality black and white pictures but not enough to spend all my time looking for place to re charge or dealing with the sore eyes that come from long backlit reading sessions like said at the beginning it works that all need 1 so worth the wait time am an avid reader love books don however love all the space they tend to take up for years have seen readers become more UNK and UNK in the market and with birthday coming decided to treat myself to one having seen and heard so many good things about the kindle decided to buy one because of limited to no real wifi access where am UNK for the more expensive wifi 3g model in graphite love that kindle offered choice in color UNK of me but the white seemed so UNK the graphite gives it sleek touch oddly the wifi only version is only in graphite not white now for the UNK the kindle itself was hesitant that it would not be as easy as described but it was all one has to do to UNK the kindle book store is to click the link once you hit menu voila the four way arrows easily allow for easy navigation for links and search boxes the physical keyboard is major plus to me having never had kindle or can say miss not having the numbers physically available the use of the symbol button was very simple also love the added UNK of being able to add music tracks to listen to while read sure it does not have shuffle or whatever but so what if wanted that use my ipod there is also browser to surf the net while it is limited browser and seems to have issues with more UNK sites using lots of flash or whatever in pinch it is wonderful and find it is not nearly as clunky to navigate as some suggest am thrilled to have the luxury of trying books for free before decide to buy already have discovered some new authors would not have if not for that option also love that many out of copyright books are UNK at no cost making this fan of pride and prejudice very happy the contrast is excellent as well as promised there are absolutely no glare issues when reading the kindle is also incredibly compact and light so can just forget it is there and enjoy the book the fast page turns are terrific as are the highlight dictionary options did have the kindle freeze exactly once but to be fair was using the browser option at the time and the site it was at may have helped to cause it as have had no such problem since thankfully yes those who order do have to wait but found that once in stock it ships quickly waited for almost month and chose two day shipping it was here overnight rather than two days people do need to read the fine print before ordering this is popular item and it is back ordered but the wait will be worth it have patience one last thing if you do decide to buy make sure you also buy cover for the kindle it helps to protect it from the UNK and the usual fingerprints etc bought one of the covers with the light that runs off of kindle battery and it is worth every penny to be able to read at night with it but even the regular covers are good idea to protect it basically if you have home wifi etc you likely will be fine with the less expensive version if you are not one who has access or just is not sure go for the more expensive version that way access is almost always UNK either way it would be fantastic new way to read old or new favorites know have been converted 1 read more now finally bought kindle because thought it would UNK me to read more it has can explain why piece of technology has made me more of reader sure there some UNK reason for it do think that it is exactly what jeff UNK about the device itself just UNK into the background you don even realize its there the first book purchased was one that had been sitting on my nightstand for months UNK of fire by james UNK btw found that reading this old hand me down paperback was not enjoyable it UNK like an old book the typeface was not very easy to read the binding made it hard to read even in paperback it was bulky to pack around my kindle fits in pocket of my backpack and is always close by love it 1 wanted proprietary reader and got one ve been using the kindle app on my ipod touch and on my mac for some time now and they have been fine ordered kindle for three reasons first the price point finally hit where wanted it to be 139 for the wifi version is just right although believe it will drop below hundred in the next six months second because wanted proprietary reader and that is exactly what got now can read without being distracted with checking mail facebook etc constantly third because the screen is easier on my old eyes than backlit computer screen can read the ipod much better than the laptop but with the kindle can read all day without any eye strain not giving up on the ipod that is my pocket model for when waiting for my wife at the UNK or at the doctor office although the kindle may tag along on those trips it is taking some time getting used to holding it keep hitting the power button and putting it to sleep or hit the page buttons on the side by accident but it has nice feel and it reminds me of reading paperback forget it an electronic device after while if you ve been kindle UNK take the plunge and get one update ve been using the kindle for about weeks now and find it to be amazing really feel like have book in my hands not an electronic device it is so easy to take on trip and have plenty of books to read also love the fact that can sample book before purchasing 1 excellent reader am new to the whole reader world and took my time selecting which one to purchase UNK out the sony reader and all others except for the barnes and noble nook and the amazon kindle was able to try out the nook at barnes and noble and while was impressed with it simply do not care for touch screen electronics after more research decided to order kindle 3rd generation didn UNK for the 3g as in wifi areas quite often couldn be happier with this product and definitely recommend to anyone that the kindle is the way to go my only wish is that books that you already have in print would be able to transfer to the kindle therefore saving space and would be able to UNK my books know that quite bit to ask for but would be great thing and would definitely UNK in that 1 great product this is my third kindle bought the first gen for my wife the second gen for me and this third gen to replace my wife first kindle the functional layout UNK the best of gen and the screen technology continues to improve battery life is good and wireless works even better this device works exactly like it is supposed to 1 incredible device worth the price am brand new to readers and was completely blown away with this device it provides an easy and portable way to take your library with you the contrast truly makes it easy to read in bright sunlight and really or other light for that matter it UNK very easily and think it would be great for anyone who has hard time with technology or those who have poor eyesight it has convenience versatility portability value and the fun factor built in if you are thinking about buying one and you are an avid reader then would highly recommend it 1 could have been better purchased this kindle for my year old daughter who is very avid reader she really liked it and enjoyed reading books on an reader have also used it few times just to try out all the functions and features here what like about it and what don pros ink is new to me was really amazed by its readability it was really like if you were reading printed book portability is excellent it exceeds my expectation it so light holding in your hand much more comfortable than holding an ipad which happen to have too but just to be fair to apple ipad offers whole lot more than kindle huge selections of books and magazines available kindle app on my ipad doesn support magazines for some reason cons some customers have already pointed it out whenever you turn the page the screen will flash brief moment no matter how brief it is it quite annoying pdf files don work very well no way to change the fonts you could zoom in or out but the page won fit the screen any more UNK makes it hard to read had used usb cable to transfer couple of pdfs to kindle it worked in the beginning but the next day whenever tried to open these files the kindle would reboot UNK then emailed files to my kindle email account and did the conversion it worked beautifully this way to be improved the user interface is not very friendly in general maybe am so used to my other gadgets with UNK could not help touching the screen from time to time while was trying to operate it also agree with one of the customers who said that it should ask for password prior to purchasing too easy to make an order by accident especially for young kids text to speech is just ok mp3 works but had to convert my itunes files to mp3 1st plus to skip song the manual says to press key the truth you have to press alt keys at the same time all being said this probably is the best reader you could get for the kind of money you pay was thinking about returning it but decided against it thinking what the heck only paid that much for it 1 sold at first wasn sure like an ereader looked at few different ones but never ended up buying one when saw that the new kindle was only 140 with wi fi decided to take chance and so bought one have to say am loving it ve now read books on it and hooked nice and slim light looks good UNK to read on it easy to download books what not to like also purchased UNK cover and night light happy with both as well 1 loving my new kindle my kindle arrived yesterday afternoon while was waiting for it to arrive had already purchased books online and was anxious to begin using it what surprised me most was how quick it was to get set up to start reading really like that it one cord that can plug into the wall or into the computer instead of two separate power UNK the display is crisp and easy to read had some concerns about eye strain or glare but it UNK the size of the kindle makes it easy to throw in my handbag so have reading material anywhere the kindle made my run on the treadmill this morning fly by so quickly which is something could never manage with book the only negative have is that the package it arrived in UNK the contents as kindle had paid for day shipping and fed ex left it on my doorstep UNK in that packaging am lucky it was still there when got home 1 kindle is awesome 3g connection is not so awesome after selling my kindle and waiting forever for my kindle finally received it knew it was going to be small but its smaller than thought kindle is where its at have never even considered another reader looking at them in person was enough to know they weren for me the text is definately sharper and it changes pages so fast keep skipping forward accidentally because was use to little lag or having to hit the button couple times to respond on my kindle love everything about it though size color then we get to the 3g dont know if its UNK but heard kindle 3g was with sprint and this kindle latest 3g is with at if so what was amazon thinking did they not see the iphone UNK sure apple is running as fast as they can as soon as that contract is up perhaps its cheaper this way if so then fine as its free for us can complain just kinda tough because used to get wifi easily at work with my kindle got wifi in places my laptop and phone could not was amazed at the places could get wifi thought my kindle had magic now in this building now have to walk around searching for wifi with this kindle didnt want to leave stars more like but since wifi is free can UNK my co UNK next to me with kindle gets wifi in snap luckily can just do UNK need to as far as getting books on amazon com just run over to hotspot and let it all download loving my kindle latest 1 love my kindle am not going to go all technical on my review we already have enough people who provided us with good information on all the technical aspects of the kindle as first time kindle owner all can say is am loving the experience stop reading for while because books are piling up that will be solved by owning the kindle because it can hold up to 000 books now can have my library all in one place the reading experience was very good have been using it for week now and so far no problems for those people who are still on the fence on getting one would say go for it 1 great reading device am new kindle user remember wanting the last generation kindle because it seemed like such neat device as well as great idea and like apple the kindle seemed to be well designed and thought out however it was just little pricey for me at that time since then the ipad came out and really want one but the cost keeps it out of reach for now when heard about this 3rd generation kindle and saw the price knew would buy one still want an ipad for different purposes but for just reading the kindle is great have been using mine for while now and reading on the device is very nice bought the case for it which use to store the kindle but remove it for reading the case is quite good but does add lot to the overall weight one area find the kindle to be weak is the navigation searching is fine and perhaps for most books the standard searching is fine read the bible and had to purchase version for the kindle that where the navigation lacks you need to enter UNK chapter UNK entry into the search box part of the issue is when you need to type numbers which for book like the bible numbers are important the kindle doesn have any number keys so you access the numbers through the symbol key menu this just makes navigation slow this is also where would find the ipad better choice you can navigate very quickly think amazon should at least make UNK key or use one of the current keys to activate numbers on the keyboard they could add small numbers on group of letter keys in the standard number pad layout so when you press the UNK key you could quickly type numbers in any case love the kindle as reader it really has wonderful display and reading on it is quick and natural if you have waited buying the kindle like did think it is worth purchase now hope amazon has continued success with the kindle 0 can read in the dark got my kindle today and am so disappointed feel like just wasted the money spent on it and will look into returning it had been using the kindle for iphone and loved being able to read in bed at night or on the couch without having to use clip on light ordered kindle assuming it would be even better because it was bigger not so to me the contrast is terrible and it pretty useless unless you want to sit under light read reviews before purchasing it and only saw that it had better contrast 50 than other kindles don remember reading anything about the fact that you couldn use it in the dark or never would have gotten it there is no way to adjust the brightness or contrast at all do 99 of my reading indoors so being able to see the screen in bright sunlight is UNK to me they sell lighted cover for it for another 50 it UNK the weight and runs the battery down fast two of the UNK liked when purchasing it light and one month of battery life wouldn recommend this over regular book to anyone 1 first time user received my first kindle week ago and was surprised how small it is and how great kindle is for reading read online about the improved contrast and readability but when powered on kindle was blown away by how great kindle displays fonts really love how easily you can make fonts bigger or smaller found that by making your fonts bigger was able to read book doing my two UNK walk one of my purposes for getting kindle is for computer technical books kindle looks little small for technical books but its UNK won recommend it for intense study but may be ok for occasional reference but thats just my first impression was also surprised how useful kindle keyboard and very easy to use think that the design is great really easy to type wasn sure which color to get but ended up getting graphite version and think it looks great happy with the color can compare it to older versions only to reading actual dead tree books and kindle will not stop me from buying actual hardcover books but it is very nice addition glad that made this purchase highly recommend it its great buy 1 best gift ever received my kindle 3g as birthday gift and am loving it have never had reading device before and was blown away by the convenience of it found lot of free books to download not just classics but special offers on amazon they sometimes offer the first book in series for free if you like it you can buy the others haven noticed the kindle books being too expensive at all as some others have been saying found that buying series of books is usually very cheap compared to buying series of paperback or hard cover books love the dictionary especially you just go to any word in the book and it will tell you the meaning feel like have traveled light years ahead in my reading experience planning to slowly replace my favorite books with the kindle version my only disappointment is that the harry potter books are not on kindle hoping the availability of books increases over time 1 kudos for the kindle was very skeptical about readers until read about the third edition of the kindle no one is more of traditional book reader than myself libraries discount bookstores etc while ll still collect such books that rely on color and graphics the kindle has otherwise completely won me over creating an UNK alternative way of reading in its convenience and presentation ve downloaded few books that total around 100 pages and it nice to know that the kindle still weighs the same the screen and text are very easy on the eyes for serious readers still UNK over readers recommend this latest kindle as the most appealing painless choice 1 so far so good but like it lot but it has few issues the wifi works but it is struggle to do anything but down load books but then again it is reader not computer or an iphone would like to meet the person who placed the five way controller right above the back button they must have the smallest fingers in the world it is very hard not hit the back button when you want to scroll down and have small fingers 1 the best ereader in the whole world ordered my kindle on august and it delivered to my home in august 30 when saw this little system was in love with it since it has many support functions which UNK the webkit UNK free but without any color free ebooks if search through various websites mp3 player but cannot select music that you like and of course the text to speech am in love with this system ever since got it and barely stopped using it well it has been frozen few times but it could be fixed easily am currently using my kindle 3g for my literature UNK in college even through this system is little too small sometimes prefer kindle dx graphite it is still good since kindle dx graphite does not have the webkit UNK according to me this is better than the ipad because of the free webkit UNK but might get an ipad for my birthday so could try it out and use it in college again or an itouch 4th generation but its up to you to see which system you want about the nook this is better than the current nook according to me since the nook is heavier and hear that sometimes it freezes more than the kindle but the nook has good web UNK and its actually my first ereader choice before the kindle appeared but it reads UNK not UNK format still getting kindle and nook wont hurt if you want to read in both formats nook could read drm books while kindle does not 1 almost perfect am reading faster because of kindle almost perfect for what you expect an reader to do couple of months ago started researching readers sony pad kindle and nook checked all of the geek sites even though not geek talked to friends who had the various types don know of one geek review including the non geek consumers reports that didn rate the kindle the highest as you would expect from the reviews of your friends they all thought that whatever they had was the best when got it it exceeded all of my expectations things such as the mp3 player were simply icing on the cake love the fact that you can get first chapter samples and try items such as the new york times for free or one issue for 99 since ve gotten the kindle find two things happening reading more and it seems as if reading quite bit faster at least flying through books quirky things didn realize how much used to look to see how far have UNK through book oh half way through type of thing when started thinking about stopping reading didn realize how was checking to see how much UNK had to go until got to the end of chapter the only thing that change is if amazon kindle gave you bit more initial information on how to navigate with the unit couple of UNK would have made that start up lot easier now going to buy one for my wife 0 kindle setup and customer support just bought kindle and very frustrated cannot get it working can not find any customer support if this problem is not resolved in day returning product and buying the UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 my third kindle this is the 3rd kindle that have owned as they make new ones they get better and better this latest one is my UNK the screen is easier to read and the page turns are faster than ever highly recommended 1 now that have it wish could review my kindle really do but amazon for some reason shipped it UNK on the 1st and it arrived in the local UNK on the 5th where it sat at UNK until today and then they delivered it to the local post office what sense does that make now that have my kindle its great but since can only buy it from amazon am giving it four due to the odd shipping UNK the shipping via UNK for the whole trip and just going via the UNK service it would have arrive on the UNK instead of the 9th the only reason think it took the two extra days was that tracking showed it was sitting at UNK for days shipping may not be part of the product but it is part of the buying experience 1 amazon kindle this is the best electronic device ever bought the page is better readable than real paper also reading can be done with same size of font and same size of book very light mail and internet are much faster than UNK up days book or magazine downloading is snap am amazed at the technology of electronic ink the dictionaries are plus wish somebody adds color to the technology added benefits are lower price of reading materials without paying for am more than satisfied with the purchase 1 kindle 3g reading device am enjoying using this kindle easy to add books and easy to use sorry it took me so long to get one 1 international users got this couple weeks ago in UNK and it is wonder easy to read excellent book selection and good battery life had problem with the first kindle got but customer service sent me replacement at once minimum price on books for UNK users is but thats nothing buy the books you want from the kindle itself and you get it on the device straight after not having to store all my books in UNK space anymore is UNK the only thing that keeps this from getting stars is the languages available on the books itself so far it seems its 99 english only books 1 be careful what you wish for since began using printers the paper usage always seemed so UNK couldn someone UNK re usable piece of paper that could be printed on then UNK then re used since began reading books ran into some problems my eyes would get tired could not get comfortable and rarely could get myself reading as much as have always wanted the times would get sucked into book would be so wonderful yet not often enough would buy books with the intention of reading them only to have them sit while my life continued on think have figured out why the kindle my first electronic book reader arrived exactly on time why did order it the price the battery life and the screen quality seemed attractive as read the reviews my interest UNK even more opening the package UNK the small unobtrusive flat device with tiny buttons my current paperback was quite enjoyable but as usual it was taking me way too long to read it was about 15 done with it when found myself wondering am going to re buy this book in its digital form to test out my new kindle the kindle sat for whole day as my busy life went by that evening re bought the fantasy novel and sat down for test kindling the book UNK in about 24 seconds and my cell phone UNK an email UNK what followed was about hours of the best most comprehensive reading ve ever done the main reason has to be the font size and UNK of the screen aside from my UNK making the words bigger is critical feature for reading books never realized how much eye strain is caused by trying to read letters that are too small it such ridiculous problem now wonder how badly it UNK my entire UNK in school UNK hated books the kindle has UNK what would appear to be the UNK of my reading process feel this device opens up the road for efficient reading when compared to regular book the words UNK in the binding the small letters and the UNK of holding the traditional book has been greater UNK to me than ever could have UNK the UNK of the book itself has become wall between me and the author so my wish for UNK paper has practically come true plus planning to re buy several books ve already read and owned which means less in my UNK and more in my head be careful what you wish for thank you amazon for UNK such sleek and efficient reading device feel the kindle opens window to the world of reading that may have been previously closed for so many people 1 wow much more than expected love to read and recently became visually impaired with macular degeneration for which there is no UNK tried getting large print books from the library and they worked but were very big and bulky so needless to say my reading was put to an end until bought new kindle latest generation with 3g memory from amazon com am so impressed with the whole package and couldn ask for anything more in this device being able to adjust the font and line spacing was so easy and having dictionary in the kindle was an even greater idea even if your not visually UNK and just love to read it must and if you are visually impaired it an absolute must just UNK that it not UNK more to the visual impaired it also very easy to use ve heard that one before and have either sent the product back or just don use it wouldn part with my kindle for anything just love my kindle that all you have to do to get going is take it out of the box plug it in and let it charge and it on it really that simple 0 poor performance hard to use terrible browser browsing just got it one hour ago was having very high expectation two reasons purchased kindle claimed to be and good reviews read on book reading experience free 3g for book reading was greatly disappointed by how slow it is when try to turn page or enter something thought the mini keyboard should slow me down lot so the device should handle input promptly was wrong the responses are really in units of seconds free 3g is great but how you are going to use it browsing internet of course but the browser is really in the quality of say experimental should have played with it first before placed my order do suggest so for those who are going to place their orders my opinions are very personal but it will save you lot of hassle in returning if you spend few minutes with it first before buying gave it two stars just because the price is decent there are millions of people using it hard to believe 1 very nice initial release of the software had some bugs freezes amazon released software update to fix it so if you are having problems try the software update the device is nearly perfect for what it is intended read it while commuting via train any claims you may read of no glare is not entirely true there is usually no glare but under certain lighting conditions UNK lights you may need to tilt it bit to get rid of the glare the battery life is great if you keep the radio off ve gone month without re charge page changes and navigation is pretty fast find that the new way navigator is not so easy to use my finger ends up pushing other buttons speaking of buttons the keyboard is okay at best there are plenty of free books however it is bit annoying that electronic copies of books cost more than paperback newspapers are also pricey compared to the print editions and lack content such as pictures and graphs there is web browser included but don plan on using it too much the electronic ink screen is too slow and the pages are difficult to read if you are looking for nice single UNK device to read books this is great choice if you can get to wifi hot spot once day then you won need the 3g version unless you plan to subscribe to blogs or other items that may update during the day 1 great tool for UNK as UNK UNK who travels lot and has tremendous UNK of reading to do gave the kindle shot as way to be more productive was hesitant at first given what other reviewers had said about difficulty with pdf files however after trying it myself and UNK with the features am head over UNK in love with my kindle some areas want to comment on pdf reader despite some negative comments from other reviewers about the difficulty of reading pdfs with the kindle find it quite nice change from dealing with stacks of papers which usually get lost after about month and end up having to re print them again and reading them off my macbook which can be tiring on the eyes and more importantly distracting because keep wanting to check facebook or gmail the kindle is great because it stays completely cool and can easily take dozens of journal articles with me on the go without lugging around my large backpack and give my poor laptop rest to try out the kindle pdf capabilities UNK rather large pdf article from my computer to the kindle icon while it was connected to my laptop instantly the kindle registered that have new pdf file it actually marks it as new and pdf to make it perfectly clear now the article had is UNK of an older article so the resolution wasn 100 clear but it in no way got in the way of reading it found that the best way to read it was to increase zoom to 150 and read it sideways you can do that with any book website pdf etc that you want to scroll down the page you just use the arrow keys then of course to move onto the next page you press the next page button on the kindle during UNK today when the UNK UNK to the article and certain paragraph on certain page could easily navigate to it on my kindle also tried out the email attachment feature what did on my amazon manage my kindle page is enter all the email addresses from which would possibly email my kindle this is to prevent being UNK on your kindle anyway went on my gmail account entered my kindle free address this will be UNK free kindle com attached few pdfs and clicked send instantly my kindle which was connected to wifi received those files easy and free UNK the pdf was also easier than thought the qwerty keyboard on the kindle is nice especially for those of us who have quick texting thumbs it about that size about inches from to anyways to UNK the pdf you just go to menu and have it insert cursor on the page and when you feel like writing something you just start typing and it will save your note the good news is the note will be there as long as you open the pdf on your kindle the bad news is it won save the note on the pdf itself if you say click and drag it back to your computer you can however locate the annotations in another folder and that you can download and keep haven done this yet but ll update you once ve tried connecting to wifi and or 3g network thus far have had no trouble connecting my kindle to the various wifi networks have available it recognized my home wifi right away when turned it on took it to campus with me and thought might have trouble connecting it to the university network but just entered the name of the network and it connected instantly did attempt to use 3g while was on the bus no wifi but it was bit slow of course this is UNK by the fact was using the web browser which is slow see point below the web browser it is important to realize before purchasing the kindle that it is not multimedia tool like the ipad they really stress this aspect of it the kindle is reading device the UNK just happened to be nice and UNK in the experimental web browser for fun knew this going in and certainly didn expect anything great here my assessment you ll be able to read text based websites wikipedia occasionally check social media sites facebook twitter and check email gmail found that it does quite great job with the text based sites pretty decent job with facebook and twitter it kind of distracting because it flashes every time new status goes up and the screen refreshes but the clarity is nice and somewhat poor job with gmail am able to very slowly look thru my UNK very slowly select few that need to read right away and so far ve gotten too frustrated with it to write an email back but it UNK think of it like using your parents old pc in their study to check your email it about that slow and UNK but it there if you need it if you need to use it to check email between really checking your email games know this is such small point but amazon offers some games for the kindle for free shuffled row and absolutely love it and of course books saved this for last because everyone has already talked about how wonderful the kindle is with the books they offer also save this for last because it such remarkable piece of technology for reading books it deserves to get the final UNK in this review the absolute clarity is almost UNK downloaded few of the free books and bought myself novel as an UNK gift and when clicked on them the sheer quality of it just blew my mind the page turns are wonderfully smooth but the thing like best about the kindle is that it actually gives me an excuse to read for pleasure being an academic sometimes means all the reading you do is for work but with the kindle it much easier to give yourself little break and enjoy novel 0 known screen issues buy extended warranty there are known screen issues that cause the screen to stop working on kindle and see this can happen after few months in which case it may be replaced or after your warranty has UNK in which case you re likely out of luck you can help prevent this from happening by not UNK your kindle into tight spaces like in your luggage or your backpack with lots of books other than that it great product 1 UNK from my computer monitor stare at computer monitor for more than eight hours day had to hack my course smart ebook to get it onto the kindle but it was worth the effort read an entire chapter about software engineering UNK without moving kindle is easy on the eyes and it takes away all the distractions of browser and os the price is lower than what it worth 0 dissapointed was UNK all saw advertised anywhere was the amazon kindle UNK gives them away all the time on her show so thought this was it so pre ordered the kindle UNK awaiting it arrival unfortunately you can only download books from amazon this will not work at your local library amazon wants you to buy their books will never ever pay for book sure they have free ones but not the latest releases like the public library 1 worth waiting for been waiting for the kindle to be available at an affordable price that way wouldn have buyer remorse if it didn suit my needs am very happy with it easy to download easy to read and easy to carry not moment of regret 1 kindle simply wonderful additional features are more than welcome the product simply delivers what is promised very easy to read fast nice format improvements changes like to see wifi works great it would be nice to use the wifi from my phone computer as well UNK mode the ability to send your own documents via email is wonderful however found need the following as well UNK UNK in my environment lots of people prefer to give reports etc in UNK rather than in word opening UNK in word print it to pdf and the send it by email or transfer directly to the kindle is bit too cumbersome UNK UNK yes computer is handy to manipulate UNK however plenty of times just need to just read the data and look at graphs print to kindle driver there are more programs that provide information that would be very nice to read on the kindle print to kindle including the option to send it directly as an attachment by email would be great UNK the categories via computer and having several levels of categories the category feature on the kindle is great however doing it on computer is much faster it would be nice if UNK the categories on the kindle could be done via computer 1 kindle vs sony touch ordered the sony ereader touch ed UNK it for about week and the glare was terrible had hard time seeing the screen to read it the contrast wasn anything like the kindle ve had my kindle for just over week now can UNK say that this is much better my eyes aren UNK and also don have to move the screen every which way to read it it wonderful would highly recommend the kindle for anyone who is searching for an ereader this is the best money ve spent all year 1 you have to see it to buy it its much better than the pictures much like most readers getting over paper was not easy live outside the us and books are not easily available nor as cheap when it came to books in electronic form sold almost went for the ipad until saw the kindle with someone on the beach had to UNK and take closer look was impressed it was nothing like the pictures electronic ink is actually amazing even after received my kindle in the mail after weeks of UNK it on amazon which turned into morning UNK was still surprised when took it out of the box it like someone slipped paper under the screen simply impressive amazon you need to market your device better your ads are not doing the kindle justice specially for international users who can try it out in stores 1 wow updating original review as of 11 27 10 still love this device no problems except maybe downloading and reading more books than ever read more charges to my credit card lol don understand all the negative issues of some readers bought simply to read UNK and good UNK novels k3 fills the bill UNK recently inadvertently let the battery run down and had to return to paperback while recharging bummer don like UNK anymore find the k3 very easy to handle and use for much longer periods than paper books due to arthritis in hands try the k3 you ll like it end of update received my k3 august 30th downloaded first book several days later just finished that book and cannot stop UNK about the device once got the hang of things very easy process seemed to UNK through the pages doing something ve not done in while read for hours and enjoyed it no fatigue no problems well if you UNK my UNK wanting to see what was doing all in all very enjoyable read have downloaded book and am looking forward to the next read glad chose the k3 over the many others looked at and handled including the nook somewhat cumbersome k3 is UNK device system that seems to have ironed out most of the real issues also purchased the UNK cover and find that to be very well done too bought the orange model so can find it more easily no complaints about the weight although it does add some to the package just hold the case like paperback and it UNK just fine or remove the k3 and hold like file folder have no problem with so called lack of other functions since my k3 is exclusively for reading don need the bells and whistles of small UNK computer lack of color read mystery novels the color is in my head no touch screen ever try to read thru all those fingerprints UNK storage device no more than enough room for me about the only real complaint have is like to be able to easily change the battery myself when the original no longer holds charge but what the heck its still great gadget happily give the k3 stars 1 satisfied but UNK UNK UNK really enjoy my kindle it sleek and convenient device it feels good in my hands and it UNK me to read even more than usual the only problem is don want to UNK the kindle by downloading just any book UNK UNK this is refined piece of equipment that deserves to contain literary classics by authors such as UNK UNK and UNK now open to loading books by modern authors like tom UNK or UNK UNK but the latest books from UNK UNK or bill UNK um no their kind doesn deserve to share UNK space on my kindle with UNK like go tell it on the UNK or the UNK of UNK you want to read that stuff use the glare friendly ipad 1 fantastic buy it am very happy with my kindle fine quality product amazon buy it have read on the nook and sony reader the kindle is by far the best also have an ipad for the sheer joy of reading book you will not be disappointed with choosing kindle 0 UNK UNK UNK it is now UNK 25 days since placed my kindle 3g order have received no indication of an estimated shipment date suspect that the short term great amazon price and the amazon offer to UNK me to cancel the order then purchase the product at premium at an alternative site is first indication of less than UNK amazon sale offer 1 leader of the pack upgraded from the kindle had not experienced the kindle loved my kindle and it was hard for me to imagine an improvement use the kindle strictly for reading have multiple computers smartphones an ipad etc for computing before UNK to buy the new kindle checked out the nook it sounds good on paper but the UNK is not nearly as good as the kindle as other reviews have noted the nook UNK will not UNK here UNK for the ipad it looks UNK and cool but is UNK for reading in many UNK it too heavy too much glare etc it way fun for other things anyway have not so far experienced any of the software glitches others have the kindle3 was up and running immediately and picked up the book was reading in seconds had no difficulty connecting to my wifi do understand the software issues though ask me about my iphone the contrast is noticeably improved though really had no issues with the k2 at first thought the k3 might be too small and didn like the thinness of the page forward back buttons was accustomed to holding the k2 in one hand and turning pages easily the buttons were more substantial still an adjustment or two and back in business also had no issue with the k2 joystick but the new toggle button is easy enough to use like the enhanced font choices and spacing choices don do voice enabled and don browse or do pdf files on this device so cannot address it UNK the UNK is that the k3 is really the best in class easy to use easy to read don need light if reading in dimmer light just put the font size up works like charm am glad amazon remembered that most of us buying the kindle really love to read easily clearly and efficiently bravo amazon ps the UNK unit has dx but finds it too heavy he has ordered the k3 and will not be writing review of how it didn come in days 1 kidding love my kindle dx but would ve loved it whole lot more for 139 freaking kidding me amazon paid twice what you re deciding to charge for the kindle now don get me wrong love my kindle but where my refund 1 nice reader other features fall little short this is my first kindle and reader as an reader find it works very well it is easy to change the font size the font type and spacing of the text which found to be nice feature since not all books download in the same font type just like with paper book it looks best in bright light have no issues with comfort while using the kindle it is easy to turn pages and it doesn detract me from getting UNK into the story am reading love how slim and light weight it is as well the downsides ve found are in the added features was hoping for better internet browser but ve found it more frustrating to use than fun pages load very slowly and the navigation with the way pad is UNK imagine trying to navigate the internet without using mouse and you will have some idea the article mode on the browser is nice if you can get it work properly but was disappointed in how it works with google reader as my main interest in the kindle browser was to read my rss feeds found you can only read one article at time in article mode and have to navigate back page find new article with the way pad and then select article mode again like to be able to scroll though all my unread feeds in article mode as such getting the 3g version really wasn worth it for me since mostly leave the connection off to save battery life the battery does seem to drain if you are doing lot of browsing but it barely uses any power just to read books agree with what others have pointed out that you really only need 3g to purchase books while traveling still purchase books on my computer browser because it is so much quicker text to speech could also be nice but found the robot like voice too distracting the bottom line is that if you read lot but don want to deal with storing paper books or lugging them around town kindle is great tool 1 UNK reader the main selling point to me is the contrast if you have ever had trouble with light printing and small letters in paper books hardcover or paperback this latest kindle is ground breaking the letters are crisp and dark against pearl background showing well with any font have slight defect in my left eye central UNK UNK which always made it difficult to UNK decent reading flow large print books do not help and good contrast in books is hard to find the letters stand out here and to me this new devise is made to order well worth the price and the 3g version is the bargain 1 not much to add to the 1000 of reviews here except that love my k3 so happy that bought the 3g wifi version instead of just the wifi version mean 50 for free cellular data access for life this is no brainer think UNK where only cell phones work and being able to get news and updates on what happening and being done about it for up to weeks before needing recharge ve used the web browsing in various places like the car UNK while visiting an UNK UNK out in the UNK etc it real handy ve owned UNK lite sony touch and now the kindle and feel that my search for UNK ebook reader has finally ended at least for now the updated ink screen was worth the upgrade in and of itself there are several websites that list kindle books that are free for limited time there usually or free books week the best place to start is to search for the list latest free kindle reads books right here on amazon in UNK the selection of free books is wide ranging and in the past two months ve acquired almost 130 free books that felt were worth reading at some point in time including fiction fantasy UNK lot of these are available though rarely avail myself of them self help business history the UNK bible was recent selection etc most people who see my k3 are surprised that you can actually see it in the sunlight just like in the commercial then show them that the k3 can read books aloud and they are pretty amazed now know several people who are getting one for christmas so not much can add to the thousands of reviews here other than love my k3 1 great device for any reader lot of reviews here and the UNK from the UNK leave lot of questions UNK in an attempt to answer lot of those questions here is my simple review of the device so bought an amazon kindle purchased the version with the wi fi and free 3g access for life like wi fi but it only works if you have the password to the wi fi hotspot so prefer 3g if can get it this makes it accessible anywhere where there is cell phone signal this is an reader if you ever watched star trek next generation deep space or UNK you can think of those flat electronic tablets they carried around which contained their UNK such it is pretty much one of those funny how science fiction becomes reality in time have always loved and enjoyed reading but one thing could not get over was the handling of books the paper UNK out my hands the pages always folding themselves back forth losing my place and my hand UNK up from holding it open bookmarks always falling out the story was would tell people love to read but hate books UNK got this kindle and must say it is awesome the transition to reading digital tablet with ink was seamless even though did fear it being bit awkward not having book in my hands they have over 000 books that are free the newest kindle features wi fi and or 3g depending on which one person orders and there are over UNK 000 buy books most being under there is access to newspapers blogs and articles it also has an experimental web browser that just works it is there if you need it but if you have other web access via computer that is probably easier you can order books directly from the kindle without need to be at computer it can read pdf it also plays mp3 if you really want it to all this is easy to set up when you UNK it to your computer via usb it will show up as UNK drive in your windows explorer for drag drop operation the kindle links directly to your amazon account so you can see your wish list if you have one set up through your amazon account really like this because when am on lunch or just browsing the net can add books articles to my favorites and download them to my amazon later you can also buy or select your books articles from your amazon account on computer and next time you turn on your kindle and it is connected to the network it will automatically download the content you can adjust text size and spacing to your liking with few different options of fonts too battery life can last up to month with wi fi turned off it has built in dictionary for instant fluid look up that displays at the top or bottom of the screen keeping your reading seamless you can highlight and save passages for lookup later you can see what others reading the book have highlighted though that doesn much help me keep this option off guess it might be good if you have textbook the kindle will also read to you if you want it too this only works on books with the rights allowed for that kind of thing don really like this option as the voice is an UNK voice that does good job of UNK at UNK and periods but does not really have the feeling of the story this would best be used for news articles if you want it but is almost useless for novel or other literature the current kindle has hard drive size of 4gb this is enough for about 500 books if you do have the need to delete something you can always access it again from your kindle account on amazon and download it to your kindle again anytime the kindle is UNK so you can page back forth with either hand as both buttons are located on both sides of the device the charge kit is in kit that includes an adapter for standard UNK outlet charging or you can remove that and charge it via the usb on your computer car UNK are also available for like if you look on amazon the kindle weighs in at ounces and is just about the length and width of small medium sized paperback it is only of an inch thick do have to admit that the device UNK me bit thinking it is easy to break being so light another reason bought the kindle cover for it yesterday started reading an old favorite of mine that never finished for the reasons explained above the screen is very crisp and the contrast is great it pretty much looks like ink printed on grey piece of recycled paper keep in mind this is only UNK screen black white though it displays photographs wonderfully in an UNK sort of way also there is no backlight nor is it touch screen this is all done with keeping eye strain in mind reader devices use different type of screen to UNK eye strain unlike staring at an lcd screen they also did it in an effort to UNK reflection on the screen and contrast in the light so it looks just as bright in bright sunlight as it does indoors purchased the amazon kindle case that has the built in lcd light that lights the panel to read in low light the light runs off of the kindle battery so no batteries to deal with though 3rd party case with battery powered light can be purchased as well keep in mind when looking at kindle accessories that this is the 2nd generation kindle lot of the accessories listed on amazon are for the 1st generation kindle and many are not compatible with this updated model if you enjoy reading suggest looking into the kindle store on amazon and seeing if they have your literary interest in an UNK on the kindle if they do the kindle is definitely worth looking at am off to read now on side note wish these were available when was in school would make lugging around all those damn heavy textbooks bit easier 1 joy to read first time kindle user but ve been wanting to own one since it first came out almost ordered the kindle when international shipping become available really glad held off till they came up with this us 139 kindle wifi an international buyer got my unit on the 30th which thought was pretty quick some initial thoughts it really easy to use own some ebooks prc and mobi files which you can just transfer into the kindle via usb pretty easily you can also have your personal content converted by amazon for free by sending it to the via mail user free kindle com pdf files are different matter while you don have to convert them anymore the actual size looks so small when you fit to page and zooming in to different parts of the page makes it pain to read you can have it converted into different format use UNK on my mac like azw or prc but any images won be converted and you lose all the UNK table of contents and stuff bought some books before on the kindle store which had read on my ipod touch kindle app just selected these again on amazon and had them delivered to my kindle there one instance where my kindle froze when tried reading pdf had to fully charge it and make hard reset several times before it turned on again wifi is breeze to use ve tried it on my home and office wifi no issues all in all really happy with my purchase reading on the kindle is like reading normal book no glare at all glad bought it 1 love my kindle hard core reader love books love the smell of books love turning the pages love going on the UNK new book brings love them did mention that before that being said love my kindle too there are several really cool features that was UNK of when decided to purchase the kindle didn know you change the font size which is really cool feature didn know that you could share books between different devices if they are linked to the same account with the same credit card and was UNK that there were books available at no charge that right said no charge any books that are out of copyright are available at no charge isn that so awesome love this feature so in love with my kindle it not even funny if you are UNK whether to get one or not listen to me get one you will love it sure there are problems with it but they are so UNK by the good that think they really come out as being UNK hope this helps you 1 nice surprise am an avid reader and love books the paper kind would occasionally look at the kindle but didn think would like it in august finally ordered one love it last vacation UNK books this year it will be kindle books load in seconds there is still much more that haven searched yet the kindle with the free wi fi and 3g network is really bargain the only problem have had is to find out how to store or achieve books there is help line which will use 1 kindle so far am very happy with my new kindle have read several messages that make me nervous like charge UNK falling apart and extended warranty not having good review my lap top just died and is in the UNK hospital for at least three weeks and am trying to deal with these mails on my old computer like most old things sometimes they work and sometimes not would like to check out an extended warranty on my kindle if still can advise UNK 0 UNK needs to be improved sometimes die it is neat reader and smaller but when used it in the first week it is slow speed when press the buttons and it even dies when press some buttons such as internet think the UNK UNK needs to be improved 1 excellent upgrade had the first generation kindle for number of years as the battery life started to UNK decided it was time for an upgrade the new kindle is awesome it significantly faster much better user interface and much nicer screen was bit worried about it having slightly smaller screen but with the speed of the page turns and the clarity of the screen able to have smaller text and turn pages more frequently without being UNK as advertised find the device to disappear when reading good book the battery lasts for two to three weeks with heavy reading and consistent wireless use the few issues have typing notes is still not very slick process would love to see some UNK ideas from mobile devices UNK if type cant want it to automatically make that can also find the method for using UNK and numbers cumbersome have had the device crash few times not often but certainly more than the first generation when typing note if you hit menu which is fairly easy to do by accident as it is close to the navigation button you loose everything that you have written if UNK click while trying to add an UNK to the end of my note can loose it all the issues are few and the benefits easily outweigh them 1 great superb device wonderful reading and fast have received the new kindle from two days ago and already love it amazon shipment service is superb only days to receive form us to italy adore it it is better than expected and amazon did great job it is fast as UNK very fast fast fast it was surprise that excellent the quality and contrast of the screen is superb black and white images are great too they seem to be charcoal UNK the experimental features are nice was surprised to see that the web browser supports UNK and some UNK functions the read to me function is quite ok for the english language it is not the same for italian but that is obvious yet am definitely and absolutely satisfied and kindle UNK have some suggestions please allow me to sort collections UNK don think it is much useful to have them sorted by access priority am quite disappointed for the lack of sd slot suppose that within some years won be able to add or expand my kindle that would be problem anyway the new kindle is absolutely great both in quality and in price yet italian would suggest it only to english readers 1 the kindle really does disappear purchased the kindle wifi and this is the first time ve held kindle before that ve tried the sony readers with the touch interface the screen on the kindle is just gorgeous pictures of the product do not do justice you have to see it to appreciate how good it is the build quality is excellent and the kindle feels just right in my hand it is easy to hold with one hand and read when held the product for the first time realized how small and light it really is it is just at the right weight that don feel like holding anything sort of like cell phone can hold and read with this for hours the screen is just brilliant the text and pictures are so crisp it actually looks like paper the screen refreshes are fast compared to the sony readers and definitely faster than the time it would take for me to turn the page of physical book after reading from an ink screen appreciate how vastly superior it is to an lcd screen this screen has matte finish and actually looks like paper so it is easy to forget that reading from an electronic device something that did not feel when using the sony devices also think that new graphite colour of the kindle suits it perfectly as it adds contrast to the text on the page making it so much easier to read after got my kindle and started looking for books am amazed at how many good quality free books are available from amazon as well as other sites another thing noticed was how fast the device charged up after UNK it plugged it in and the device was completely charged in 10 minutes amazon has probably charged the device before shipping it but it was nice to be able to use the kindle immediately ve read pdfs on the device and pdf support is good with wifi access and web browser the kindle has also become the perfect UNK tablet UNK at home my wife uses it to access UNK while UNK few things that feel could be improved the new way navigation switch is little too small need to use my fingernail to press it properly and not press the keys next to it the lack of dedicated number keys makes typing page numbers or entering wifi UNK with lot of numbers little difficult overall an outstanding product 1 first kindle for international use kindle para UNK UNK let me point out first that writing this review as an international user live in beautiful UNK city UNK placed an order for the 3rd generation kindle sept 13 and received it sept 25 actually it took only days for it to reach my box in UNK had issues with the company that UNK my box don be UNK took alot of time watching reviews on youtube and my first impression was smaller than thought it would be the build quality for the kindle is great no defects no UNK between the screen and case and no UNK have to tip my UNK for amazon whispernet function which performs as well as it sold the only issue have with my kindle is the case bought leather cover amazon UNK 99 which find it to be too UNK for my taste the page turning buttons at first appear to be way too small but after using the kindle for several hours can complain they don take too much effort to press and are very quiet the rest of the UNK have right balance between the amount of force you have use the hardest UNK to use is by far the center button on the way control the screen has good contrast and there almost no lag turning pages the screen does create little glare when UNK under direct sunlight which will force you to change your UNK but other than that it readable any place where you have light source as mentioned in title an international user and have some complains with that first some free books advertised on amazon actually cost money for us international users why the same books amazon charges you 00 dollars are actually free at second can purchase any of the three games currently offered by amazon UNK to play scrabble third magazines don have any pictures at all and finally not sure if the normal warranty protects my kindle here in my country for all of you thinking about buying the 3g kindle would tell you that you don need it trust me wifi is good enough to UNK my UNK opinion would that the kindle is great addition to my gadget collection at very reasonable price 139 UNK cover 99 us shipping UNK country taxes and shipping to UNK with great functionality and great company backing it up don waste time searching for other readers if you live outside the if you re an international user and enjoy your favorite books thank you UNK UNK english is not my native language therefore UNK for any spelling or UNK errors me UNK UNK en espa ntilde ol UNK eacute si UNK UNK eacute si UNK 1 excellent reader would love to see more this is my first kindle until recently had been using the kind app on my iphone to read kindle books but decided that getting kindle would make for easier reading this kindle is impressive now it not an ipad so don expect the same sort of functionality this baby is made for reading in manner that UNK reading on paper and it does that exceptionally well the reading experience on the kindle is exactly like reading high quality paperback book because it not computer screen like the ipad you don get that eye fatigue thing ve spent hours reading on my kindle already and feel no different than would if was reading paperback book it is easy to buy download books and organize them into categories on the kindle the controls for doing so aren exactly intuitive but was able to figure it all out without reading the instructions in about 15 minutes or so page turning is simple and straightforward if you close one book to read another it opens up right back where you left off the best thing love about the kindle is it allows me to carry around all my reading material in one light weight device love my new yorker and opted for the month kindle subscription UNK my hard copy delivery it is so nice to have my magazine delivered right to my kindle each month all the content is there and it is fairly easy to navigate the kindle version of the magazine in addition read lots of journal articles and other pdf materials for work now instead of printing them all out to carry around with me just drop them onto my kindle from my computer and have tons of reading to do wherever am my laptop bag is now about half the weight it was before got my kindle reading in bright light outside is no problem with this kindle as compared to reading on an ipad or some other ereaders the text does not get UNK out and the contrast is nice some things would like to see faster processor there is slight lag sometimes as you move from one screen to another would hope that future models would be updated with faster processor better organization like the ability to create categories but it would be nice if this feature was more robust even making the visual appearance of the categories better using folders or some other icon would be helpful also would like to be able to categorize old new UNK something you currently cannot do improved controls maybe mouse using the cursor keypad to move around can be little frustrating especially in this touch screen mouse UNK would like to see small mouse integrated into the device or touch screen prices probably my biggest complaint is the price of materials to pay or more for an electronic version of book just seems like UNK UNK to me the cost for UNK books is very very small when compared to UNK hard copies of such books there are no costs for postage printing or mass storage for books therefore would expect that the cost of books be at least 50 less than the cost of buying the hard copy of the book think this is the biggest flaw with the kindle if amazon lowered its prices on these books further it would most definitely completely corner the market on ereaders ve had friends tell me that they would not hesitate buying kindle were it not for the high cost of many books overall would definitely recommend the kindle it great little device provided you re not expecting more think amazon has done good job of making the cost and features match the intended use again this is not an ipad but robust reader that if you re an avid reader will be worthwhile investment 1 worth the wait this thing rocks literally was shocked at the quality of sound from the tiny speakers when testing the mp3 playback amazing screen 3g is awesome especially with the internet browser if you need to look up something on the internet it right there spectacular battery life never get eye strain if you need want an reader this is it hands down kindle is the UNK would rather carry this around than my ipad also viewing pdf documents is wonderful feature by far my favorite purchase from amazon and although it took over month from the time initially ordered which looks like now amazon has this issue under control it was well worth the wait 1 affordable portable and readable have wi fi version with lighted leather cover page turns are really fast and you see the improvements on display and battery life as well today ve updated to the firmware version to and now it seems running much more faster 1 simply amazing don usually write reviews however this is an exception for an exceptional item was almost ready to give up on ereaders for have purchased the sony prs 600 twice and both devices froze on me then tried my hand at the apple ipad and although it was great tool for going online and checking out the apps for it the reader totally sucked for me it strained my eyes and the selection of books was not even mentioning then tried my luck at the kobo which was better for reading than the sony and the ipad the gadget itself failed to work after week now had my kindle for weeks now and simply love it you get lot for your money and the books are UNK and for those canadians that are wondering if the wifi works and 3g can answer yes to both those questions even the web works well recommend kindle to anyone and now that have one am UNK UNK to the kindle family 1 amazing functionality but it is amazing how much functionality is UNK into the kindle and it is fairly easy to reach yet after few days reading there are certain things like to have more under my fingertips and there are few bits missing it is impossible to enter UNK characters like eacute UNK it is not possible to view stand alone html files in the UNK there is nothing inherent that UNK it put UNK file to the documents folder on the kindle hoping that could open it with the kindle UNK then would have perfect note taking system on the kindle UNK to the computer and vice versa but the browser does not handle file UNK the back button is very handy it lets you UNK your jump steps forward button would be handy as well for playing music the reverse holds you can only go forward going back is sometimes also nice to have quite often you have to move the cursor to the bottom of list it would be handy if every list were UNK so that single up would bring you from the top of the list to the bottom and single down from bottom to top this should be the case for menus as well as pages you can only enter texts in the form of annotations it would be nice to be able to write into text file directly then you have already quite flexible note taking system out of the box on your kindle UNK in search it would be nice to be able to search for UNK like or where stands for an UNK letter and for an UNK string even better regular UNK search have UNK dictionary file on my computer and moved it to my kindle use it to search for words with few known letters no way to do that on the kindle yet text to speech acceptable but two things would make it much better multiple languages dutch books come out ugly more pause between paragraphs quite often there is no pause at all after paragraph but nevertheless enjoy nearly every aspect of the kindle it is computer without the hassle of computer it is always there and finally UNK for the screen savers when the kindle goes stand by an excellent choice of UNK drawings beautifully rendered in black and white 1 greatest product ever purchased from the moment the kindle came in the screen looked so much like book didnt realize how amazing the screen looks cheaper books easier to read built in dictionary this is the greatest ebook reader you have ever seen guarantee it and for 139 you UNK cant go wrong 1 the letters are rubbing off already would give the new kindle stars except have had it less than month and the keyboard letters are rubbing off already which of course will be annoying when can see the letter anymore love it otherwise 1 love my kindle the wi fi capabilities on this kindle are alone great reason for buying this kindle the reading screen is larger and the menu screens are much easier to use than the previous version 1 love it bought the second generation kindle as present for my husband he is currently UNK UNK UNK which requires hours of sitting still while UNK is delivered via UNK and therefore can move one arm while he is hooked up to the machine reading the old fashioned way books and magazines just wasn possible and watching tv got old real fast kindle is the best thing ever for people in his situation he can now read the daily paper his favorite novels UNK magazines etc all at the touch of button using only one hand what wonderful blessing kindle has been ve decided to buy one for myself and can wait until it delivered later this month 1 best reader ever cannot thank you guys enough the offer of UNK like this in UNK is quite limited the chance you have to put our hands UNK speaking in one of this UNK is very UNK and now amazon delivers kindle to UNK at UNK price besides the import taxes and for my country there are three UNK estate and for the city UNK in taxes the equivalent to kindle and half but the more important issue is that now can UNK thru 3g can buy books on the go have my now but can figure it why can buy kindle cover well can buy it but amazon don deliver it neither if you buy with kindle tried don understand why anyway very happy now like christmas in july lol UNK UNK 1 wireless did not connect to my home network required new router maybe amazon will eventually find way to make my kindle talk to my UNK bit wep wireless home network and will love this new kindle but so far it nearly useless have kindle like lot stars keep it in my car wanted one for my house so bought k3 did not get the 3g because would only use it at home guess could download books to my pc and load them that way but it defeats the idea of reading the same book on two devices cannot sync the two until can connect ll try to connect it at an UNK wifi hotspot just to see if the wifi is broken or if the software just doesn know how to handle UNK bit wep security if amazon gets it working ll update this review update 2010 10 18 so went out and spent UNK on new UNK UNK router and that seems to have fixed my connection problem now have wi fi access in my home could have saved money by upgrading to the wireless version but really did want the faster wi fi and ve had frequent connection problems on one the UNK on my old router as result have raised my rating from one to four stars now that have fully functioning k3 guess can write about it more regarding its use as reading device really like the new screen the lettering looks clearer and not so UNK as the k2 haven specifically tested it yet but have not noticed the letters becoming very UNK in strong light as my k2 does this is only problem if you let strong light shine on it when changing pages have been forced to cover the screen while turning the page on my k2 once the page has been generated the text looks normal in strong light haven quite figured out why this would be so but it was great UNK when discovered it like that there are both forward and back buttons on both sides that an improvement over the k2 which had only one back button mostly like the fact that the buttons are on the edge but that combined with the on off switch being on the bottom means that almost always accidentally turn the page while trying to turn off my k3 it something about how hold it while fumbling for the bottom UNK switch much prefer the switch on the top the way the k2 is plus having both devices means look for it in the wrong place about half the time the k3 battery seems to last lot longer than my k2 this allows me to leave the wi fi on most of the time this makes it easy to sync my k2 which keep in my car to where am on my k3 usually only turn on my k2 wireless when want to sync with my k3 otherwise find it dead the next time go to use it have not noticed if the k3 screen is faster than the k2 have not UNK it and have never thought wow that fast would not upgrade to the k3 for faster screen as far as am concerned the slowness of the screen is the main drawback to the eink of the kindle and is the main reason it does not get five stars it would need nearly instantaneous page turns and color to reach five stars would just love to be able to hold down the UNK and UNK keys and watch the pages fly by feature would love to see on future kindle is some sort of preview when reading paper book and getting near the time need to stop often flip forward to see if am near section or chapter break this is not only slow on the kindle but it sets the furthest page read to where stopped scanning instead of when actually stopped reading maybe show four pages on the screen and be able to step forward four pages at time maybe using an alt UNK combination would switch to four page preview mode and step forward set of four pages with each click of the UNK key releasing the alt key would take me back to where was reading amazon give this suggestion to you free of charge but wouldn turn down free UNK you can possibly add this feature to all the kindles with software update thanks for the improvements amazon looking forward to UNK 0 amazon UNK amazon one day one click seems to be failing when it comes to ordering kindle it been more than week now and there is no estimate when they might ship it in other words this is not service to the customer rather marketing information about degree of customer desire to obtain UNK 1 the best ever have kindle kindle and kindle let me say that kindle has nothing to do with the previous versions the screen is UNK and this is by far the most important thing for reader said that the screen have to be improved yet so hope that in the future the screen of the ereaders will be really like paper today even if it is very good screen the real paper is much better 1 love it let me start out by saying before purchased the kindle have read maybe books in my lifetime my UNK into reading was with the iphone great device small screen crappy battery life this caused me to not use it as UNK ebook reader hence the kindle purchase have done lot of research on ebook readers started my research with checking out the ipad and all its reviews online great product but high priced and only UNK battery life then was the nook nice product brick and UNK stores bad customer service reviews and the person at the store couldn UNK the product if her life UNK on it which kinda turned me off then the sony reader sturdy build reads lot of formats but pricey and no wifi 3g during the time of my reviews of the other products did keep coming back to the kindle to read up on it and look at it features over and over again sort of comparison to the others have had the kindle for weeks now think and have finished books on it already which is huge UNK for me have list of books want to read now the one complaint have with the kindle is its lack of UNK file support it not hard to convert the files it more of an annoyance libraries across the country are more and more doing the digital ebook check UNK kind of surprised the kindle doesn support this format would grab wider UNK if they were to include it in the software itself so due to the lack of epub support can only give it stars sorry about the review got UNK and it didn come out the way intended but needless to say the kindle is great product the epub support 1 amazing readability have already read books on my new kindle am just loving it exceptional clarity and almost no eye fatigue since it weighs so less can easily read while lying down always had the problem of having headache in reading books while taking bus ride however on the kindle can easily UNK up the font size and coupled with the no glare screen the problem has disappeared 1 can get enough of my kindle ok love this kindle the size is perfect the clarity of the words is amazing can actually read it perfectly in sunlight too so quite pleased with that ability when it is in sleep mode it displays random picture and the first time showed it to my husband he was trying to figure out how to peel this sticker off to see what it looked like UNK the sticker he was amazed at the quality and that it was not sticker at all thought had wireless connection in my house but can seem to figure out how to get it to work so don have the ability to purchase book directly from the kindle wireless whenever want however it incredibly easy to load purchased books via the included charger usb connector by hooking it up to my computer going to amazon purchasing kindle book and downloading it directly onto the kindle from amazon what would like to see on future kindles is backlight of some sort like my cell phone has that would allow me to read in the dark at night while in bed so that wouldn have to turn on the light and wake my husband have nothing negative to say about this kindle completely addicted did have one little thing occur but it was easily UNK it once seemed to get stuck in sleep mode quick reboot of the kindle fixed that so don consider that problem and it has only UNK once you slide the power slider over and hold it for 15 to 20 seconds until it reboots itself and then it is fine 1 great little device this book reader is for the most part wonderful it was gift for my husband who loves to read and he enjoyed it tremendously for whole days and then the screen went UNK could not turn it off could not reset it just would not work any longer we sent it back to amazon and hopefully we will get replacement soon while it was working the readability of the screen the lightness of the whole unit and the compact size awesome am truly looking forward to receiving the replacement so that we can really test it out with downloads anywhere 1 the UNK of non reader becoming an reader when make major or electronic purchase tend to research all products within the category of what am looking at UNK my UNK began as request for nook last christmas that UNK decided not to bring it was probably for the best as it was an impulse decision and really had not spent near the time on my reader research normally would as fathers day UNK my wife asked me about the nook and if would like one for fathers day to which UNK as was into some serious competition between the amazon kindle and nook sony reader was cut early on based on my personal needs and wants as the title said have not picked up book in long time and wanted to give it my best shot to UNK at reading again have spent many months watching the reader UNK and have held both the nook and kindle in my hands and it was indeed UNK and UNK for the color screen of nook and the high ratings of kindle being non reader UNK to UNK reader wanted it to be right and this is what considered to be right by me pre ordered my kindle latest generation wifi and kindle case with built in light on UNK 10 this was the best decision ever made was due for release on 27 case arrived 27 10 kindle arrived 30 10 the case with built in light 59 99 is very durable and not much fun as did not have the kindle to power it kindle shipped and was due on 30 once you add the kindle it becomes an awesome companion the built in UNK light is very powerful and bright it is not bright in the sense of irritating as you read it is obviously well thought out and provides the perfect amount of light needed for comfortable read even in dark room and will not UNK the person next to you as the light is focused and UNK for the avid reader UNK my wife who is UNK UNK reader felt the case was UNK well and gave sense of holding an actual book as this is critical piece for many including my wife kindle latest generation wifi graphite my kindle arrived on 30 in safe and simple packaging one pull on the UNK cord same package for case and you are staring at your new kindle to get good feel of what to expect you UNK has bunch of UNK videos there is quick start peel away sticker on the screen that gets you up and running and it is as easy as UNK UNK the kindle charger plug into wall turn on at turn on the kindle goes through brief start up procedure and kindle then wanted to set up my wireless network which was immediately found entered my password for the network and the wifi was active my unit was not registered so registered it to my amazon account and went through set up screens to customize it to my personal UNK the entire setup took about UNK and the customization took me about UNK this is pretty good for someone who has never set up kindle and shows ease of use is an the unit charged up in about UNK giving me the green light to UNK my first stop was the kindle store where subscribed includes two week free trial to our local newspaper with ease and it downloaded in about seconds each morning my kindle has already sent my UNK UNK kindle edition and it has been my UNK to an reader and back to my love of reading that have realized really missed the text is crystal clear and line spacing by default is perfect for my view and read speed you can make dramatic adjustments to the font size as well as the spacing of the text to say the ink seems as if it is on piece of stock paper is an understatement it is incredibly unique in it presentation and style often find myself not realizing am holding anything other than very good book the layout of the page controls are breeze and the page turn is lightning fast over nook and kindle enjoy the versatility the unit provides including the ability to play audio books or just be read to if you wish also like the audio menu feature that UNK each navigation as you move through the kindle menu system this was my speaker test and sound is crisp and clear the kindle is very comfortable to hold and it does not matter if the unit is in or out of case kindle has very thin and ergonomic UNK for us all and can be setup in portrait or landscape and even allows you to decide which way the keyboard is UNK while reading for your personal comfort have been proud owner of my kindle for days and have had only couple of UNK where the unit jumped back to menu on it own and have also noticed the light will UNK battery life bit faster and yet am still at almost full battery life and never UNK my wifi which can also eat up battery chose the wifi only for the same reasons as many have read on here purchase most of my books at home or in wifi hotspot and not on the fly have not added any of my music yet or used the text to speech and internet features they will be next areas to explore have been non reader for such long time and have returned to reading with incredible energy of which UNK mostly to my amazon kindle my wife UNK she would never give up the book and has now begun her research as well encourage anyone who is considering taking up reading to do so and if reader seems to be point of interest do your research look at the big and UNK out someone who has one and take it for test drive hope this has helped you in your UNK for your future kindle and UNK my review to the countless people who reviews were of great assistance to me kindle UNK latest generation is 1 love it but my husband and love the amazon kindle but when am shopping in the amazon com store it purchases books too quickly without my UNK pressing the buy option have had that occur three times the curser may just UNK over the buy option and it makes the purchase without click please fix it UNK 1 amazon kindle first must say that didn purchase my kindle through amazon but on ebay yes UNK on august UNK and waited until september 2nd but already UNK some UNK fi books that was reading on my blackberry kindle so really wanted to jump into real kindle experience am saying this because it is really annoying to see UNK people who give one star in their reviews of the product that they yet did not receive just because they didn realize it was UNK purchased my kindle on thursday and received it on friday yes UNK 20 more dollars but think it was well worth it anyway this is my third ebook reader and must say it really really great love absolute crispness and sharpness of the fonts and the ink screen love the size of the device and the color got it in white actually haven tried the wifi yet but don even think ll be needing it since 3g serves the purpose perfectly was able to register and synchronize my books in matter of minutes must also note for russian speaking consumers who are interested in this device that it perfectly displays cyrillic fonts and actually tried to load txt file with russian text and learned that have to save it in UNK format in order to be properly displayed on the screen also liked the experimental web browser although think that navigating it with they keypad is somewhat an awkward experience speaking of keyboard this is perhaps my only gripe the designers decided for some reason not to include the number buttons on it and it is really annoying in middle of typing something you have to hit the sym key and enter numbers and symbols from the sym menu luckily don type often on this device so this is not UNK also love the dictionary it is really quick and nicely implemented way to look up the words when device is being put on sleep it displays random image of authors or old UNK which think is also very neat feature another thing perhaps worth mentioning is that the device feels kind of heavy in the hand especially combined with lighted kindle cover it ok with me but some people might dislike that overall highly recommend this device for its really great ink screen and user friendly interface update october 2010 it been about month since own kindle like everything about it as stated above but there is another problem though have been researching and comparing prices between books and paperbacks here on amazon unfortunately something should have done prior to purchasing the kindle know that it is the publisher who sets the prices for books but since the books paperbacks and the kindle are being sold directly by amazon it is all UNK let me explain for example have found this one book that like to purchase its called UNK man by UNK UNK the kindle edition price is UNK while the used hardcover can be obtained for 24 99 shipping so it can be clearly seen that am saving 65 have nothing against the used books as they are always cheaper and most likely will read them only once think amazon and the publishers have to come up to some sort of an UNK where such ridiculous differences in prices will be avoided especially keeping in mind that having UNK 65 for book you can lend it to you friend to read considering all this will most likely sell my kindle on ebay and if ever come by an book which price will be less than paperback will simply download it to my blackberry kindle think the whole system of pricing and sharing books is yet at very early stage hopefully with time it will be more convenient and with reasonable pricing again know there might be some people that will disagree with me and perhaps even direct me to specific forums with this review but like said above the book pricing and kindle on amazon are UNK especially keeping in mind that amazon uses its own proprietary format this device will prove useful for student who live on campus or people who don want to clutter their apartment with piles of books and don mind spending extra cash prefer to save these 65 and get paperback 1 perfect device for people who commute via mass transit like many others waited until the price on this device came down to earth before purchasing though was tempted by nook and borders kobo everything read indicated that kindle was still superior product so just waited finally have kindle commute via subway 30 40 minutes every day in addition to time on the train also walk quite bit like to have entertainment on hand usually my mp3 player and book while my mp3 player is so small and light absolutely hated lugging around big heavy book with me it may sound like UNK but when you do all your traveling on foot and on the subway you know that it lot more comfortable to keep your load as light as possible and books especially hardcovers add significant weight the kindle eliminates this problem completely also as many train UNK know it not UNK to be UNK into less than comfortable positions during rush hour trying to hold book one handed at awkward angles does not make for pleasant reading experience hand UNK wrist pain not to mention eye strain because of UNK light distribution across the pages kindle also eliminates this problem completely it easy to hold with one hand or two and because it one flat surface light hits it UNK and have no problem enjoying reading on the most crowded trains knew would probably like this product but couldn have guessed that actually enjoy the act of reading it more than the act of reading physical book the display is gorgeous the text crisp and clear the page turn controls are well located and have no issue with the size of the keys on the keyboard or the direction control button perhaps this comes from years of cell phone use but even with my big hands have no problem using the keyboard easily and UNK the only thing not thrilled with is the home screen it just poorly laid out and so is not UNK to quick scanning to see what content is there it needs different layout or appearance or something to create more UNK view of your organized content 1 significant upgrade over k2 ve been reading pretty much exclusively on kindle for over year and it has been wonderful experience don want to go over the same point by point UNK of why kindles are great there are plenty of people that have done that already just want to mention to those who are wondering whether k3 is enough of an upgrade over k2 to warrant the purchase say it is for one simple reason the screen the contrast is so much better it UNK my expectations can now read in low light without needing to break out my clip on light thanks amazon 1 love it if you want to read books invest in this product began reading books about year ago quite by accident well after downloading one book on my larger laptop using the kindle pc software was hooked at the time decided to purchase netbook instead of the kindle because of the functionality of netbook was concerned about just buying something for reading when could get other functions as well found out real quick that even thought netbook is smaller and has multiple functions it was still not UNK to carry around with me to dr UNK UNK general appointments also the battery life was not acceptable for trying to do any extensive reading would have to keep it on ac charge it was awful for trying to read in bright light situations like the car when the new kindles were released with the wi fi and 3g decided to give the kindle try must UNK did not look at any other brand simply because primarily shop on amazon for my books and wanted to keep my current library have had my kindle for about week however have used it quite enough to test the reading functionality and the ease of downloading reading material love it it is so easy to use and it fits well in my purse downloaded my entire collection as well as some free classics and have already read about books the display is wonderful for reading in bright light unlike the netbook the page UNK works well for me did notice any great lag it doesn have touch screen and color but wanted reader not another computer haven tested the mp3 player but once again didn buy it to play music the internet navigation will take little while to get accustomed to using but won be using for internet unless just have too do prefer shopping for my books online purchasing and then sending to kindle to me it is easier to load UNK read reviews and navigate using an actual computer especially if am shopping looking for something to read also purchased the cover with the built in light which is great the light goes off when the kindle is in sleep mode and it is bright enough so can see the entire screen in dark room did consider the amazon warranty but after review opted to purchase year warranty from UNK with the accidental handling included overall great item will be getting one for relatives for christmas 1 better than thought just got my kindle today what little beauty have kindle dx and can tell you the improved contrast does make difference the page turn speed is about twice as fast as my kindle dx the weight just perfect am very pleased with this device and think am ready to sell my kindle dx the only minor issue the forward backward buttons seem bit out of place when you hold the device in one hand little bit higher and maybe bigger would be perfect 1 good for text slow graphics bought my kindle for reading UNK planet and similar guide books my conclusion after reading these kind of books in different formats are kindle formatted books works fine but not all UNK books are sold in this format maps are not very good pdf formatted books also works but you have to zoom in to read the contents maps are detailed but slow to display my solution is to print the big maps which also makes it easier to study the map along with the text on the kindle converting the pdfs makes the text easier to read but doesn work for graphics again just print the maps and you have working solution while traveling despite the downsides ll never buy paper UNK book again the kindle is so light and versatile compared with the UNK option so for my next UNK vacation ll just bring my kindle and my iphone for information and entertainment 1 to kindle or not to kindle well finally decided to kindle after much thought and research am so glad that 3g and wi fi are available down under was concerned about the time it takes to charge the kindle but all my concerns were UNK it took less than hours to charge my kindle using the usb cable didn even have to use an adaptor the other good thing is that am able to continue reading using my iphone as downloaded the apps awesome 1 great product spend the extra money for the 3g it well worth it but still little pricey but you get what you pay for my wife loves the fact that she can download and preview the first chapter or buy book while we are in the car we do lot of traveling browser could be little more intuitive but not bad for rudimentary browser battery life is great viewing area is great UNK or out recommend getting the leather cover with built in light got the cover with built in light at best buy and it is great little pricey but well worth the protection and convenience of having built in light that you don have to replace batteries 1 awesome this is my first reader after using it am UNK of my experience with the original ipod as the UNK factor wore off began to realize that the device had become an essential part of my life feel the same way about the kindle 1 my first reader this is my first first UNK into the UNK of readers looked long and hard at the nook but decided to roll the UNK on the kindle the big UNK for me was the costs of books amazon was cheaper than the competition on most of the books that read the reason went with stand alone reader instead of product like the ipad is readability and battery life don want to worry about charging the thing every day and want to be able to read comfortably in all lighting conditions at this time would again purchase the kindle and recommend it to my friends and family purchased the kindle with wi fi only like the size is perfect not too big and not too small the kindle feels to be about half the weight of the nook very readable find reading on the kindle to be very nice think it is much better than reading UNK novel because the fonts are solid and the contrast is pleasing the user guide is good everything wanted to know was there the dictionary is great being able to simply cursor to word and have the definition display is real benefit the definitions display promptly do wish pronunciation would display with the first definition on screen although you can get to that with the simple click of button the shared highlight feature is really cool classic books for free don like the keyboard is small it is pain to enter information for me as my UNK are fairly big entering numbers is real pain in the neck you have to press sym button and then select the numbers or symbols from window using the way pad the way pad is small again this UNK down to my big hands the way pad is small am getting better at using it as get more used to it the wi fi gave me problems was able to connect without problem when initially received the kindle but after couple of days with the kindle in sleep mode could no longer connect to my network after some time with kindle support they had me reboot my router which released the mac address UNK and then the kindle was able to connect once this was done kindle support had me upgrade to os from this is UNK release but kindle support said that this should fix future wi fi UNK it has been several days and have had no further problems with my connection the next previous page buttons could be more solid you pay price with small and light weight compared to the nook the next previous buttons feel bit weak wonder how they will hold up to millions of clicks the battery is not user replaceable if there was one thing that made me consider the nook over the kindle was the lack of user replaceable battery on the kindle do worry about the cost and the time it will take to replace the kindle battery in the future 1 tip for UNK kindle is great little device and really deserves star rating by all users while share all the positive comments here is small tip for all kindle users UNK with UNK copy your camera user guide in pdf format on your kindle no matter how expert you are there is always need for quick look at the manual and having it ready on your kindle with integrated search function is great UNK even better normally the size of camera manuals is quite small making them ready for reading on kindle screen without zooming or rotation 1 yes it is worth the upgrade to the new generation got my first kindle in 2008 for UNK and loved it husband bought me the kindle for christmas last year he thought surely the original was about worn out loved it today the fed ex guy delivered my kindle and am impressed the pros differences that have found just in the first two hours smaller thought the others were fine at the time will fit in more UNK easier lighter never thought the others were heavy at the time even bigger print is an option can read without glasses much easier faster page turn thought the others were fast enough more contrast thought the others were good but this is even better clearer cleaner print less strain on the eyes more memory had cards for the and never filled the but know that have lots of memory now quieter buttons page turns faster wake up have the option of wi fi if am not getting signal with the wireless looking forward to the longer battery life just plain feels good in the hand the only con have found have to use symbol key to get to numbers that is all so thought the kindle was the greatest with the multi country web access UNK europe and loaded all my guide books UNK books and pleasure reading on it so saved lot of room and weight to lug around if you haven had kindle yet it is much better than any of the other readers on the market have tried them all and the kindle is it the ipad is not reader can see it in bright light outside it is heavy it is big and bulky so can just stick it in my purse it gets hot the battery does not last long enough if you don get just the wi fi model then you have to pay every month the backlight causes eye strain it is fine but it isn reader on my kindle can send and receive mails read books magazines and newspapers get on line for news or to look something up even in italy the built in dictionary is great even for lot of UNK only have to carry my kindle when travel instead of lot of books and my laptop it syncs with my iphone so am never without something to read and now with the cover with the built in light have probably gotten enough free books that really enjoyed reading from amazon to cover the cost of all three kindles by the way still was using my kindle this morning with the original battery so they do hold up to lot if you haven ordered yours yet what are you waiting for the price has come way down and the technology has greatly improved thanks amazon 1 kindle 3g wi fi latest generation purchased of the latest generation kindles works fine but the other is very disappointing the broken unit seems to have software browser problem have spent several hours on the phone with tech support should just be support because they can figure out what the problem is and nothing seems to correct the problem in UNK the unit connects 3g to the bookstore but will not do searches which requires the browser and it will not connect wi fi which also requires the browser to input password at all after my first UNK with support was told that would be contacted within 48 hours with resolution which assumed meant returning it for replacement that was week ago called again and was told they UNK that is are working on solution and will get back to you very soon that was days ago after reading all the star reviews on this device not sure want replacement if they ever get back to me one day perhaps they will have all these problems ironed out and this little wonder will be worthwhile dollar investment if repeat if both of my kindles worked like the one that does function correctly would honestly have given this thing star rating edit of previous star review thanks to comment on my star review of the faulty kindle downloaded the software update and loaded it to the faulty kindle that update UNK all the problems with the browser and the kindle UNK on to wi fi without any problem as stated in the last sentence of my previous review with now both of the kindles working as advertised am happy UNK and would recommend this device to any serious readers my only question to amazon however is why they didn send an mail to users like me who had contacted tech support several times UNK us that software update was available it believe would have saved both of us lot of UNK 1 love my kindle am addicted to my kindle the screen quality is awesome it is better than reading paper books it is really slim and light so very easy to hold the whispernet works really well almost too well had held out for while to make sure got the right reader for me and kindle is it if you have been on the fence about getting it do not hesitate and go get it 1 only few days only had for few days and like it even the free books are good to read may have to call in sick from work to be able to spend more time reading 1 kindle early experiences have just started using my kindle and so far love this device but have few comments on UNK the lack of numeric keypad is real annoyance for typing names passwords UNK with numbers in them as well as page numbers the symbol selection is just too cumbersome to use it would have been easier if the top row of 10 keys had an UNK number printed above them which was UNK by pressing the alt key plus the top row key for that number what was not obvious at first was why the audio reader worked for some books and not others if you press alt UNK nothing happens on some books only by going to the amazon web site book description do you find out that only some books have audio content available the software should UNK the user when audio reading is selected for book that does not support audio also the availability of audio should be UNK in the book list the experimental web browser was able to totally lock up the device you have to hold the power off for full 15 seconds to reset the device this information should be more UNK it would have been nice if the device came with an inexpensive protective UNK sleeve didn want heavy leather cover and had to find lightweight sleeve on ebay for 99 1 love it love everything about my new kindle love the experimental link to the browser on the menu it awesome to be able to access the internet as well as read all the books could possibly want to have huge clutter in every room of the house with all my books that ve stored in shelves tables and anywhere else UNK the kindle is perfect for someone like me who has room not for another book in their home but has huge UNK for reading 1 love it love my new kindle love the fact that it smaller and easier to go in my purse don leave home without it it taking some time to get used to the power switch on the bottom but guess that will work itself out ordered the 3g wi fi and both seem to work fine but not sure if both are needed the 3g of the first and second generation seemed to work fine 1 happy but buyer beware do not buy this device if you are expecting to use it at location home or otherwise without wi fi connection or if all you have is type wireless router got my latest generation kindle today secure in the knowledge that had wi fi but quickly found out from kindle tech support that type routers were not able to be used or supported by the device and that needed or type router so that means that to even get started on the registration process will have to go to an outside hot spot and if want to order anything in the future will have to go out to hot spot was also under the impression that could pre order online with my computer and carry the kindle out with me every where go which did not want to do and that if happened to pass or go into hot spot the books or whatever had waiting in pre order would automatically download but found out from kindle customer service that this as well is not accurate because wi fi hot spots do not store information they said you would need to be in the hot spot at the time to place the order period my only other option would be to purchase at further cost new or wireless router if do not feel like driving all over town or carrying my kindle every place that go am to say the least more than little frustrated was looking so forward to getting this device and being able to use it pretty much right away it was for my birthday and thought had done enough research to understand how it worked but guess not it makes me sad that these very important and critical UNK were not brought up any where in the specifications otherwise would have been prepared if cannot decide how to get this resolved my new kindle will be getting returned for refund if do decide to keep it and get to use it plan to review this item again hopefully to tell all about the wonderful things it can do my final advice to everyone is please read all the specifications and details and if you have any questions call customer support before you buy it has now been month since got my latest generation kindle and have worked out most of my issues have at the moment an accessible hot spot and have successfully used kindle for pc to sync up to download books will be getting new router at some point in the near future so can quickly connect from home am very satisfied with the device functions and features am disappointed that the keys are very sensitive to wear after such short time the ink is wearing off know they were trying for portability and smaller size but the keys are really UNK bit too small love the screen and contrast really like the crisp look to the type use book light if read in the dark and it is working just fine the backlight has not been an issue for me the battery is working just fine for me have not charged it since it first initial charge since do not connect at home do not leave wi fi on unless am at hot spot so that is really UNK the battery also do not have any re loading issues do wish they had provided UNK lock key so if you need to type in all UNK it would do so really wish they would have put share feature in so that if you wanted to give your copy of your book to someone you could for maybe small transfer fee or something just one time only of course also wish the books for sale would go down in price some or maybe that series would have some sort of incentive to buy the next ones at discount or something enjoy reading on the kindle but do find that want to prop it up in my lap if am going to read for an extended time period reading with it has UNK some eye strain for me am happy and would recommend it to others even with the rough start that had just be sure to read everything first and ask questions if you have them happy reading everyone 0 best reader have used by far cost model for books is UNK being an UNK UNK passed completely on the k1 which was an ugly looking piece of junk to me then wondered lot but still passed on the k2 since UNK was way way too much money for what it was even though it was the best at the time this gave me time for little research my brother in law and others let me use their k2 and was UNK by it until listened to music or went on UNK it was pretty UNK that way was very taken by the 3g functionality too used the little UNK sony the bigger sony and the UNK sony liked them but not enough to pay for one spent as much time as could with nook and found although really loved the look and feel and color band on the bottom it seemed buggy and slow and at the time too expensive when amazon released the k3 with 3g and 139 dollar version with wifi my mind was made up took the plunge and bought the cheap one for my myself as birthday gift took UNK forever to get here but it still arrived two days before the estimated due date while was waiting did lot of reading including reading of reviews that claimed reboots UNK wifi reception bad battery life crappy service from amazon and the like have had this device week now never once has it rebooted wifi is always at hand if my laptop can see the network my kindle can page turns are faster than k2 contrast is better than k2 and so far as can tell better than any other reader although the sony is UNK better not reboots either even when play around with the web browser and hit content heavy sites not glitch made my wife kindle UNK for the last week played with the web browser listened to music and it charged one time and one time only still have little battery left any of this changes one day and ll UNK down this review and talk some trash but today isn that day which made me think how to review this thing all these positives are great but let face it the web browser is crappy even painfully bad the music player is less feature UNK than an track player it not terribly customizable either if have to look at UNK UNK ugly dead UNK one more time might UNK what wrong with blank screen amazon or picture of say UNK UNK that put there myself give it stars have really good mp3 player have fast desktop and laptop for internet UNK with an ipad and cheap android tablet and that not my deal so this thing gets five stars cause reviewed it for exactly what it is the best reader have ever used the state of the art is long way off guess but this does the business for now ll give it one little UNK and one big one little first that tiny controller is pain in the UNK for me read it might be tough to use for people with big hands so thought would be fine not so much even given my little UNK UNK the thing is not as nice for me that is as the original joystick from the k2 just UNK the big one kindle books are UNK expensive yeah said it mean this may not be true if you are the type to head to and buy the latest release in hardcover for twenty bucks even the newest paperback editions me am in no hurry to read the newest newest and with UNK shopping can get three paperbacks at sam club UNK or UNK for the 99 price of lot of kindle books that said am learning to shop amazon or better at since amazon seems less than keen on helping UNK sort by dollar amount am not reviewing amazon com marketing and price UNK people nor the mp3 player or web browser am reviewing the kindle reader which is what bought and hoped to get so now got it am happy and am very very glad waited edit so here am however many months after buying my kindle and have realized my error this beautiful device simple and easy to use is part of sales package that is UNK UNK expensive and UNK to support note that my UNK extend to the nook the kobo too ten bucks for three year old paperback is freaking UNK come to think of it ten to UNK bucks each for new paperbacks is UNK UNK and UNK can get these anywhere anywhere for cheaper than amazon yeah they are thicker yeah they take up more room in my bag not that much more do not see this UNK model changing either more and more stuff stuff like seems pops up at 11 99 12 99 why what happened to the electronic model saves on publishing bs amazon touted way back when this is out of the question when can get the entire new york times UNK list at paperback release for literally 40 less than amazon brilliant electronic pricing schedule screw this will keep it to gather classics suppose and the free stuff ultimately if amazon costs stay the same will give it to my kids or park it in UNK great idea but if needed to be UNK over and over again to be UNK via an over UNK UNK model just call the cable company 1 great product 3g works well in both UNK UNK and UNK received the kindle about 10 days ago in UNK UNK area the only glitch was that it could not recognize the wi fi network in my home for the first two days but 3g connection worked well on the third day it somehow found the wi fi network and connected it without any trouble wi fi connection has been perfect since then have successfully connected it to three different networks have business trip to UNK this week when took the UNK from the airport to UNK city turned on the kindle to see how it works in foreign countries was very happy to find that it connects to 3g network flawlessly on UNK even send me message to explain the potential fees associated with international 3g wireless usage the only time you need to pay small fee is when you send yourself emails for data conversion beside wireless connection features this device works great as an ereader many users have given their reviews and will not repeat them agree totally that this is great product love it 1 great at what it is ve had my kindle wi fi 3g since september 14 2010 new to both readers and kindles have found this to be an amazing product couldn be happier with the purchase think this latest version may well allow kindles to reach UNK point and move well beyond first UNK gadget lovers and heavy UNK ve read number of reviews both before purchasing and since and if you have been on the fence or are trying to decide would keep number of things in mind it is what it is an reader with ink technology UNK 2010 it happens to be an outstanding one but being extremely good at what it is also means that it not so good at what it not it not really for surfing the web or playing music though it can do some of that you can use it to make phone calls it won replace your UNK or your laptop or your smart phone it doesn have million apps and games to play you can read it in the dark unless you have the optional cover light but then you re not in the dark anymore at that point because of the state of current ink technology it is not in color and it necessarily has brief flash as you move from page to page which have come to barely notice at this point it doesn have touch screen and for good reason because with ink technology that would reduce its great contrast and make it more difficult to read it won sort your UNK do your UNK or UNK your food in short although the future will UNK bring device that more perfectly UNK reading and phone calling and music and the web etc we re not there yet in 2010 with really any device and if you re looking for great reading experience it readers and the kindle from what ve read the ipad is heavier has backlit screen that UNK the eyes of its technology which on the other hand makes it better for color and web surfing and doesn have nearly as good selection of books some are UNK though that amazon may be setting the stage for creating an everything device in later kindle generations given amazon recent UNK UNK the everything ipad rather than UNK readers that might be but there is also the simple and more current UNK of UNK that the kindle is simply the better reading device reading that is as described below it may or may not save you money to be sure new books are cheaper than their hardcover versions even the ones that are no longer at the 99 price point it seems that given recent push back by the publishing companies however amazon may not be able to hold onto that 99 price point for much longer prices seem to be UNK towards 12 and 13 and 14 price points though there are still plenty of 99 books and cheaper it does seem that regardless books will still remain cheaper than the hardcover versions but note that for older books you will find paperback versions for cheaper even on amazon in many instances there are tons of free books available many of them on amazon and even more on other web sites my brief experience however is that formatting is much better on books you purchase even if for only buck or two that is books you pay for tend to have jump sites to chapter UNK and tables of contents whereas the free ones whether on amazon site or others sites don more importantly because it is so amazing at what it is UNK are that you may well find yourself reading more and more and UNK purchasing more now subscribing to three magazines ones that seems especially good for the kindle the new yorker the UNK and the new UNK there are worse UNK but if saving money were really the primary goal here be headed for the library instead of an reader what the kindle does best is help you get lost in reading not reading graphs and charts and color photos and graphic UNK things like certain magazines etc because it not good at that but it is great at UNK good old fashioned reading the kind some of us first experienced as kid when you would sit down with book and not move till hours later for some reason whether it magazine articles or the daily paper or my UNK selections reading on this thing is really UNK paper and the weight of book are no longer in the way am that much more UNK it helps that no longer need my reading glasses since can simply make the font bigger love books and the feel and smell of books and readers will hopefully never make them UNK the kindle certainly can replace everything that is good about books with kindle you won be physically UNK through some random book at store though you can download free first chapter samples and search instantly and electronically by subject genre author through hundreds of thousands of books on amazon online digital store you won be displaying your kindle read books like children on shelf though you also won be UNK them up and lugging them around when you move or board plane and once purchased book is UNK and electronically archived in your account nor because of amazon UNK structure will you be lending them to friends and family but kindle does seem to be able to help you get UNK lost in the text in way that books can the ink technology here is very close to paper you ll need adequate lighting to use it but unlike other technologies it won strain your eyes this version is not completely and absolutely perfect but what is my large fingers would prefer qwerty keyboard that has larger buttons with more easily read keys hard to see on the graphite version though think that the color to get for reading contrast and it is too bad the keys are not spaced in the UNK way that real UNK are the toggle switch needs to be bit bigger to UNK browsing functions but these are UNK and shouldn UNK one from purchasing and as for that missing row of number keys one only has to use the alt key as shortcut to avoid having to pull up the symbol function in the end for 189 you get device that holds an enormous amount of books and articles that comes with lifetime of 3g connect and that UNK wonderful UNK in the reading experience amazing 1 love it this is my first reader and am in love still figuring out all the functions so cant comment on those but reading is joy lightweight perfectly UNK had played with kindle previously it seemed heavy UNK in hand key pad is comfortable to use no glare on the screen form room lights or even outside in the sun 0 huge disappointment returned my kindle after mere days of use why over day period my device failed at least 20 times by failure mean the following repeated UNK buttons become completely UNK page forward and page back buttons failed at will these UNK occurred with both document and ebook viewing amazon has failed miserably in my opinion this is the worst device that have ever purchased complete waste of money what UNK 1 great buy got my kindle recently reading lot of pdfs from work and they read pretty good converted to kindle azw format it great device the typeface and display are very crisp the user interface is very good can read newspapers books and work related stuff also the browser it very helpful wikipedia renders great specially in article mode can be anywhere reading enough UNK to focus in the reading but also connected enough to download any sort of reading material 1 superb product reading revolution got my first reader the sony prs 500 in UNK the day it came out for first gen device UNK UNK the prs 500 was fantastic but then as often happens with sony instead of developing the platform sony spent most of its time trying to tell its users how they should be using their device and UNK what users wanted still nothing UNK better than the original prs 500 has been available for almost five years and don mean in terms of features such as touchscreen because those have been quick in coming but just the overall experience of reading on the device until now that is kindle is not even in the same UNK as the sony readers the device disappears in your hands and the experience is that of truly reading book but with added features there for when you want them and UNK for when you don for example translation loaded up few extra dictionaries and am UNK through foreign language texts at perhaps four times the rate that am used to in paper book or on my prs 500 part of which is due to the responsiveness of the k3 music is also nice feature and the web browser though of course not terribly useful is still nice value add and works surprisingly well better than my blackberry so the UNK whereas the prs 500 was nice reading device UNK think the k3 is the beginning of the UNK of the book kudos to amazon for having the vision to develop it into what it is today needless to say sony blew their head start which is shame because it wasn the hardware or design behind the sony reading platform that was lacking it was the vision am looking forward to seeing where amazon goes from here but am ready to join those who would UNK le UNK est UNK UNK le UNK 1 UNK amazing think this is the best way to read hands down even better than reading paperback like to read on my back and with paperback have to UNK the pages apart and use both hands now one hand and can read in my favorite position all day the contrast is incredible and jumps off the page at you also don want touch screen for reader who wants fingerprints all over the screen kindle really put effort into this design and it is perfect device in my opinion for what is does got into ereading on my iphone but the small screen and backlit lcd hurts my eyes not the kindle truly fantastic and will use it until it dies UNK 0 disappointing and frustrating update have now returned it this is an update to say that returned my kindle the last UNK was when the text to speech UNK out after about one UNK it just sat there and UNK turned the pages so now all can do is wait first for refund and second for the next generation next time ll be much UNK consumer and won buy unless they ve changed certain things plus won be on the waiting list for one of the very first batch next time ll wait and read some reviews from the first customers before decide but the idea is good just needs some improvement UNK review follows my new 3g wireless kindle has been big disappointment there are various UNK the text to speech is so bad sometimes that can stand to listen to it for instance when reading the bible it says all the UNK numbers not like you may think it says them with no pause like the number is just another word in sentence this is distracting and confusing to me sure they ll improve it eventually but for now it one of my UNK UNK the text size is only for the actual books not even when typing in something to search for in book this is the other one of my UNK UNK the main reason got the kindle was for the previous two features because my eyesight is UNK from macular degeneration find that often accidentally turn pages because the controls for that are right where tend to hold the thing to me they re hard to find also and ll probably wind up using marking UNK so can see them better mine sometimes reboots for no apparent reason and had to reboot it myself the day after got it because it went into UNK wouldn wake up but the thing that really UNK me is the difficulty in finding anything that want to read most everything search for on amazon is either not on kindle at all or else this one is UNK it isn available in the united states or else it expensive tried some of the other sites that amazon UNK to look for ebooks and so far haven been able to get anything from them either the ones ve tried don seem to have much available pretty much what available at amazon realize the availability of books is technically not the fault of the hardware but what good is reader when there nothing you want to read on it update have now managed to download few books on one of these sites although still find their collection is similar to amazon and most of the things have downloaded from amazon have been disappointing in themselves some just plain aren what they claim to be some don have table of contents some seem to be missing things none so far except the bible has been what had hoped for and haven exactly read all of the bible so there may be unknown problems of some sort with that file too think the overall problem is that the kindle technology is still new and just needs few more years to improve in the meantime considering returning mine if can ve just updated some things in this review one is marked as updated but not all of them are 1 UNK saver just got the new kindle and in love with it this is my first reader and was little nervous at first to spend that amount of money on book reader but so glad did the day after got my kindle ended up staying with my mom in the hospital for days and UNK my kindle was my company when wasn helping her loved having all of my favorite books available with one click most of them were free and being able to download new book in seconds with the UNK wi fi connection the only thing didn realize about it was that there no light on the kindle so you need something else if you are reading in UNK area it is super light and easy to read for long periods of time it also convenient to carry in purse or bag and was evening reading it while waiting for people on UNK all in all am so glad bought my kindle and would recommend it to anyone who really likes to read 1 overall not too bad recently received my kindle have to say pretty pleased overall got the one with the experimental features web browser mp3 player and it pretty interesting but missing some major functionality in the mp3 UNK there no way to go back to either repeat the song or go to the song before it you can only go forward once you reach the end of the songs you need to hit play again it also seems as if some of the songs put onto the kindle didn copy over or aren playing the user guide is slightly confusing at points too but like that can search through it for what want note on the mac os eject for kindle users can also select the eject icon next to the kindle icon while the file window is open or drag the kindle drive icon towards the trash where the eject icon will then appear and they can eject safely in the web browser area ve had my kindle freeze up and crash on me when trying to access some websites the first one was the page loaded then froze and crashed was unable to access any web page UNK until hooked the kindle up to my computer this also occurred when accessing facebook using the arrow keys is little clunky to navigate web page the battery life seems to UNK considerably when using the mp3 player and web browser as well find turning off the wireless when not using it keeps the battery little longer the headphone jack is also bit UNK placed curious why the speakers moved to the top of the kindle casing but the headphone jack is at the bottom it would make more sense to have both toward the top or at least to have the headphone jack out of the way to avoid headphone UNK damage like to read laying down and rest the kindle on my UNK while doing so having headphone cable UNK me gets annoying after while the positive here is that the built in speakers are UNK good for what they re used for color me happily surprised there in summary love the kindle now if the accessories folks will just catch up with it already had to modify cases to fit the new kindle despite product specs that said for latest generation kindle which it turns out is kindle and even checked product UNK when available UNK fail 1 more than expected but have been UNK over the UNK of having an ereader for quite some time when saw this one at the price of 139 was so ready to jump placed an UNK order wow so easy to navigate so quick to download was reading free download of book within minutes of charging it up also immediately downloaded several more free books as well as one of the free word games have been very UNK and UNK linked to this thing for the last days will get back to normal life soon sure lol pros so easy to use would actually consider this an appropriate gift for my UNK year old mother would of course UNK and download for her but she would be fine with reading and day to day use of this UNK of free and low cost books out there was initially worried at how much extra money would spend on reading material once received it have been using it ridiculous amount of time and am still on the original first charge of the battery leave wi fi off unless downloading this will completely UNK travel and down time for me love to read but who wants to drag books around on car trips vacations and to doctor and hospital waiting rooms the size of this device means this will always be with me when leave home cons noticed this morning that the ink on several of the letters is fading already are you kidding me granted have played few hours of word games using the qwerty keyboard but seriously this thing isn even week old the quick start guide that came with it and the users guide downloaded on it leave little to be desired have some questions that will need to send out to the community so to speak for example do not need nor do want two dictionaries on here would like to delete one can seem to find that option the fading keyboard ink is the only reason this truly life changing product gets stars instead of 0 fly by night operation first received the kindle it came complete with screen was broken right out of the box it still had the packing film on it customer service was nice to overnight me second one this one had no UNK no plug no manual just the kindle unit amazon should just stick to books they cant screw that up should have bought an ipad 1 fine UNK to excellence will keep it simple bought this kindle for my wife she is big reader but after using it for while it actually makes me want to read more used to own kindle and still own sony daily reader the kindle is by far my favorite so far pros extremely long battery life even with wifi and 3g on all the time at least weeks with about hours daily use reading much faster page turns this is UNK noticeable right away from all my old readers much better contrast UNK for an UNK level of detail black and white photos appear real no UNK option to configure wireless manually or through an UNK setup prefer manual control of these things the way button is much better than the previous kindle button the back of the kindle rubberized texture is dream to hold like semi soft finish without that sticky rubber feel the keyboard now has rubberized buttons of the same type as the back skin and have wonderful tactile feedback and simple click when UNK menus seem simplified and somewhat easier to navigate forward and backward buttons on both sides of the kindle 10 more storage built in cons the smaller size of the unit the screen is the same size actually seems too small on initial feel but can see getting used to it still no slot of adding external storage sd card slot etc have only had the new kindle for few days and am still reviewing it will update my review if any more positives or negatives can be found as of now though really appreciate all the UNK amazon has done to the new kindle to further improve on wonderful device if you don have kindle this is of course the one to buy if you already have kindle well then maybe would hold off nothing earth UNK changed here but like my title says they have fine UNK the current format to excellence 1 brilliant its amazing how they managed to improve an already great item started out with kindle and can UNK say that this kindle is improved they even UNK about how much quieter the buttons are so you don UNK your partner in bed anyway it is quieter the screen seems sharper the pages turn much faster battery seems to last longer and it has buttons for next page and previous page on both sides of the unit which was an annoyance of mine about the kindle amazon also has case that uses the internal power of the kindle to power backlight all in all an amazing device 1 enjoying my new kindle this is my first kindle ve had it about week with zero problems really enjoying it and it causing me to read more great product 0 two great days of reading and then nothing not rating all kindles just the product that received after two week delay of course it doesn work after the second day got UNK white screen of death pretty sad because was all set to rave about this thing loved it but 139 for what UNK to nothing more than UNK no thanks don know why but expected more than this from amazon now have to go through the considerable hassle of returning this product UNK all wanted to do was read book next ll be reviewing amazon return services ll be sure to let you know how that goes 1 my kindle arrived early the expected arrival date was september UNK however when checked the package tracking number it was delivered days earlier on the UNK and this on standard delivery extremely pleased not just with how quick received my purchase but by the performance of the product really glad waited to buy the kindle instead of another ereader like nook the pre order status of the item at first UNK me from purchasing the item rather not have to wait UNK for product however when went online to see how much other ereaders cost nook and sony ipad ereaders to name few found they were all much more expensive than the 139 00 that amazon offered for their ereader that basically made up my mind for me the kindle has exceeded all my expectations found it very easy to navigate on there were no reboots at all or any problems with transferring files as already had files ready and waiting to be transferred in the compatible formats the only thing found that didn work was that had to manually take the usb cord from my laptop to read or shop on my kindle UNK not being able to charge at the same time for some reason though it indicates that one can eject the kindle from the computer while continuing to charge over usb am still unable to read or shop on my kindle otherwise don have any complaints read lot of books in the public domain and use to search for titles and authors so the absence of free kindle book store doesn bother me in the least although sure amazon has solution or alternative option in mind for their kindle customers regarding free books perhaps in the very near future overall highly recommend the kindle this is one product will never regret buying purchase now and don wait for christmas UNK 1 the kindle great but the cover could stand little work had my kindle week now and have completed two books would have given it stars five if it UNK the pictures in color steven king UNK is worth the money but would have classic if he had done the audio twice have fallen asleep reading and the kindle has fallen to the floor hey it cheaper than sleeping UNK and no UNK in the morning don how many falls the kindle will take so have attached it with long rubber band to my wrist my UNK said to bring the cover in next week and he will attach cell phone wrist strap my five led reading light works fine so saved 25 00 thanks to previous reviewer but if you read on boat or at the beach strongly suggest the wrist strap UNK UNK beach UNK 0 many things kindle won do although kindle comes with low price and has very nice screen most of its features disappointed me does not read most popular formats in pdf files one cannot UNK the font size sad but true the only option is to enlarge the whole page and percentage of the text falls out of the screen never found way to show my folders in kindle only non convenient list of 10 books per page if you put 1000 books in it you ll get to do 100 page turns to go to the last ones the usb charger is not standard mini usb can reason why ok minor problem but imagine losing it one of the good things about kindle is that you can read and charge by the same time nice screen good contrast good responsiveness conclusion went back to my old ereader cool UNK and won pre order kindle ever again once ll have read reviews and only then if the features described above are solved then ll think about it 1 the kindle is simply amazing love everything about the kindle from its appearance to its functionality the words are so clear it looks as if you are reading real book just couldn believe it would recommend the kindle to anyone who loves to read it is so convenient to get book whenever you want it it is very easy to navigate and the users guide is loaded on there if you don understand how to do something it was definitely money well spent 1 if you re on the fence jump on in used to read lot but like many over time life started to UNK never had time to go to the bookstore and even when shopped on amazon which was often was hesitant to buy books because didn know if would like them missed being able to browse etc also prefer the real time of browse then buy immediately and don really enjoy the delayed gratification of waiting for book to ship not to mention that it seems UNK in UNK and trees to keep reading this ways as result had shelf of unread books next to my bed but gadget UNK have owned ipods and UNK including the iphone work in technology and looking at computer screen 10 hours day so the back lit lcd screens were just going to be hard on my eyes over period of few months stopped every kindle owner ran into and looked at the screen to see what thought and then asked them all the same question would you buy it again and to person they all said yes so decided to wait for the new model and had it shipped to me right before long trip to europe purchased the 3g model because my idea of hell is to be stuck somewhere without anything to read and english language books can be UNK in non english language countries over weeks read six books in the case of the UNK games which discovered through the top selling books on kindle ended up downloading and reading all parts near the end of my trip friend recommended another book and it was great not to have to wait but download it right then and there now whenever hear about book want to read just fire up the kindle do search and add to my wishlist or download the free sample love the free sample idea you download the first 20 pages of the book for free and only then do you have to decide whether to buy this is often how would shop for books in the real world and it takes all of the UNK fear UNK and doubt out of the process lastly the 3g really came in handy in europe att does not allow you to use your data plan in europe so downloading data is pricey in addition to downloading books for free anywhere anytime also used the web browser to check weather UNK UNK exchange rates and basic news in areas where att would have charged me to use my iphone well worth the few extra dollars one tip be sure to turn the kindle on and off when entering new country or the 3g won work right it took me less than half day to get used to the kindle and now my real books sit unread while ve finished books on the kindle love sitting in comfortable position on the couch putting the kindle on the arm rest and not having to hold the book open it truly revolutionary device two thumbs way way up do wish could lend books and share them 1 dont get no UNK this UNK is so UNK feel my UNK UNK UNK UNK day love it for ages wanted to collect books especially the classics they look great on the shelf but now actually reading them and to prove the old UNK see UNK do UNK my UNK old is getting into the act hey amazon more cash in the UNK for kids market set me up with some UNK idea cash again love it 1 great ve had my kindle for few days now and don have any major complaints nothing that wasn expected here are few things found pros owned kindle and the screen contrast and speed of page UNK is lot faster it not an ipad and so won complain about things like no touch screen no color it reader and great one in the sunlight and normal reading it great looks just as good if not better then printed page it really does make me want to read more often and you can get some books for free compared to the kindle like the way controller more than the previous model and also the smaller page UNK buttons are great things like to see wish they would have kept the numbers without having to use the symbol button looking at my kindle right now it seems like there would be enough room also to scrolling through menus isn UNK you can get to the top and push up again and be at the bottom every once in awhile it has problems connecting to wi fi network that isn listed as non compatible on the website not huge deal but little annoying the other thing is as college student like to be able to connect at school knew before got it wouldn be able to but it an improvement like to see on the whole my complaints are minor say the good far UNK the bad if your looking for device thats great for reading books is light and portable this is what you want it not an ipad or phone anyone expecting something like that shouldn look here but for those who want to read and carry an UNK amount of books wherever you go this is what your looking for 1 love it love everything about this new and improved kindle have had the k2 for almost years now and have loved it from the minute got it but this new smaller version is the best also love the new color think the graphite color makes the screen appear to have more of contrast this is great size for putting in purse or hand bag also easier told hold with one hand my first impressions of the k3 is that love it and the lighted cover is great love not having to change batteries and it lights up the screen great 1 sometimes it better than my husband downloaded and have been using the kindle for pc app for couple of months during that time ve read couple of stories but really didn use it because hate reading from computer screen for any length of time after all you ve got to sit in one place and all the really UNK positions for reading on your back on your side etc are pretty much impossible when you have to keep control of even small notebook then the kindle arrived and the books already purchased were instantly downloaded into the little thing it was comfortable to hold no matter how and given the damage my hands have UNK in couple of UNK this is very high praise indeed it felt more like book which really love since there something warm and UNK about having real book that you can hold in just real hand and because have lot of books ve downloaded to my computer over the years that regularly reference suddenly they could be used in the way they were meant to be 400 to 600 years ago lo and behold ve got something that even more useful than my husband sometimes is have only two complaints about the 3g kindle first it deals in monochrome black white only but you get what you pay for and 189 was all afford second the page length is very short still with two built in english dictionaries and the ability to add more the ability to read pdf files and archive books not in current use this is one of the best buys ve made in long time thanks amazon for letting me add couple of minutes of peace in day otherwise full of hurry and UNK 0 nice device bad wifi UNK have kindle love it just got kindle wifi 3g wifi doesn work have an apple airport extreme base UNK at home ve connected dozens of devices to it via wifi no problems the kindle won connect it usually doesn even see it when it does and try to connect it doesn work called support and after few minutes the support person said that there are some routers the kindle apparently doesn work with including the UNK apparently also can connect via wifi using public access point in library UNK that amazon would sell product with such UNK wifi UNK telling me that my UNK won work with it that just crazy know have 3g connectivity guess lucky didn buy the wifi only model but it has wifi it should work it looks like my nifty new kindle is going back if you rely on wifi take note that the kindle wifi UNK might not work for you 1 kindle rebooting my kindle too is rebooting for no apparent reason and loosing my place in the book am reading it happens with 3g on and with 3g off have the 3g wifi unit with lighted cover hope there is UNK software fix for this problem my kindle is smaller than my kindle was sold it and love the new size but there really is only one way to hold it along the side edges and find my hands get tired being in the same position for so long also find myself UNK hitting the back key while positioning my hands to hold it the print contrast is definitely better that the kindle but am not noticing faster page turns do love my kindle but think loved my kindle just little bit more 1 amazing experience experience the first thing my friend UNK after opened the package was take off the paper on the screen let see the display and to my amazement that paper was the display guess that pretty much UNK my experience with the kindle it has taken my back to my UNK and taken some weight off my UNK bookshelf guess it the only piece of modern technology that actually takes us back UNK years to our book reading days interface use only linux at home and so at first was apprehensive since so many other devices that have bought were in some way or the other locked to some proprietary software on some proprietary os and getting them to work was such pain but kindle plug and play system makes transferring files child play setting up wi fi was also fairly simple and everything seemed to work out of the box understand that there are some issues with wep as mentioned on other forums but for wpa it was breeze coming to the cons the buttons interface though sturdy is pain if you have large fingers would really like to see touch interface replace the physical keyboard in the near future features loved the out of box pdf support in the kindle but in case you are looking at buying the kindle for reading pdf exclusively go for the dx edition as pdf look very small in the one coming to the cons the lack of epub support is big pain since many public libraries use this as the default format the strict restrictions when it comes to drm are also major UNK to buying books for example if am unable to share book with friend for few days or resell it what the point of buying costly book also please decrease the prices of books right now they are UNK than paperbacks which makes no sense at all overall must buy for UNK the amazing battery life really makes it worthwhile 1 flawless so far this is my first ereader and have been blown away by it haven had any problems with it freezing up after charged it and turned it on it did software update on its own and has been working beautifully some have commented that the page turns are too slow but it is at least as fast as turning real page and you can do it with one hand no problems with the 3g so far either am so glad these came down in price because am loving it 1 wow new kindle is fantastic even in australia ve had my new wifi 3g kindle for almost two weeks now it has taken me that long to post comment because ve been so busy with my new kindle and also work unfortunately the kindle has UNK my expectations and anticipation simply it is quite brilliant the screen resolution is much much better than thought it would be it really is as if you are reading straight from book but without the weight it was very easy to set up my wifi to my kindle and the 3g worked straight out of the box even downloaded some free first chapters of books selected while it was in transit and after two or three minutes of me setting it up there they were waiting for me in my home page amazing this new kindle is so impressive it really sells itself that one of my work colleagues who is much more avid reader than me has now also purchased kindle she opted for the wifi only version but liked the wifi 3g model for its ability to access and download when away from home or not in wifi zone connectivity problems are just not an issue in australia anyway enough said want to get back reading on my new kindle truly brilliant UNK functional and won be without device recommended by regards from UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 largely pleased but could still be better first of all was disappointed that amazon con UNK on delivery when placed my order it said would ship in days but once the order was placed in my account it said days to ship plus delivery time so cancelled and purchased at my local target expect amazon com to be more realistic on their promises when my wifi kindle arrived found that it would not work with my wireless home network after several UNK attempts to put my password in checked and found that kindle only works on networks fortunately still have my old UNK wireless router and set it up long enough to get my kindle set up and registered then turned off the wireless and went back to my secure network don plan to use the wireless option to purchase books from the kindle store so this isn an issue prefer to download any book purchases to my computer and manually install them so wireless will probably stay turned off to UNK the battery but it would be nice if they were more clear about network access still glad saved the 50 over the 3g version which used to purchase lighted book cover my final reservation is the fact that it does not support many popular book types like epub think that is short UNK of them but converting lot of my old books and so far it is straightforward and they work well on the kindle on the plus side find the controls easy to use although even with small hands the keys are little small for much typing love the ability to create collections and use it to categorize my books for easy viewing like being able to download sample books and read few chapters and also make sure the kindle version is not simply scanned book with poor UNK find it comfortable to hold and the lighted book cover suits my needs for night reading which was the reason held off so long in switching from reading books at night on my pda am really going to enjoy the portability of this and the screen really is easy on the eyes as is the ability to change fonts to larger size UNK for long time over which book reader would best suit my needs before UNK that it just made sense to go with the kindle based on the reviews at 139 the price is reasonable enough that it doesn have to be my forever book reader however having been UNK in the past by book sellers going out of business leaving me with books that are only UNK on old computers will be careful not to get locked into book formats that will not be easily transferred in the future if better reader is developed ll purchase my books most likely in epub format and convert them for reading on my kindle rather than finding myself stuck with lot of kindle books down the road UNK today was able to get it to hook up to my UNK wireless UNK band network decided to see if removed the password from my home network whether could connect with the kindle realized that was UNK using the password from my UNK UNK once found the password from my wifi network and put it in the hardest part was learning to enter the password without accidentally adding extra numbers letters it found my wireless network and everything is working just fine going to stars since my only complaint at this point is that it doesn read epub books but am easily converting my books using calibre 1 like this thing this is my first reader am surprised at reading reviews about late shipping from amazon from other customers as amazon has never failed to deliver on time or even early for years was lucky enough then to receive my pre order unit on time and in perfect condition the only minor issues have is that feel that the necessity of having wi fi to use the kindle at its UNK is not UNK enough in the overall description do not have wi fi access at home and there are some things cannot do with my kindle create categories update the clock but since am able to load up books on my kindle through my computer guess that all that UNK still feel it might have been UNK more in the description in order to avoid some of the frustration experienced by other reviewers would have also liked more cases available for pre order and delivery at the same time the kindle was nice hard case with UNK is what have in mind for mine and still don see any available that know for sure would fit my kindle all and all am satisfied with my kindle and my eyes UNK from straining to read small paperback print are very grateful 1 unbelievably convenient received my new kindle on monday the 30th it came with excellent instructions on how to use it and usb cord with power adapter was able to read the manual included while charging it up the screen is indeed easy to read live in an area UNK UNK where there is no 3g network so the store works little slowly but it is not UNK so have already ordered wide variety of books and transferred my subscriptions to the new yorker and the UNK to this kindle travel all the time and was having people mostly my mother mail me the magazines at considerable expense and delay will be UNK back to africa as UNK within the next weeks and will love not having to worry about UNK books and magazines in my UNK or finding things to read once there the good things so far very easy to read the screen easy to order books some of the books are incredibly cheap even got one for free including bible for 99 the magazine prices are competitive and the content thus far is great with no subscription cards falling out the things that aren so good lack of 3g here back button is too close to the scroll down key and there is no forward button to correct your mistake have not tried hitting the back again but perhaps that would work was not able to find quite few books was hoping to buy the only remaining problem could be managing the kindle while in UNK but the map shows 3g coverage where will be living this is great device an unbelievable value for the money and unlike apple company that UNK and UNK one to death amazon appears intent on UNK my enjoyment rather than UNK their UNK 1 needs backlight just got my kindle happy birthday to me from me love it except that keep searching for backlight function and UNK from other UNK there is not one now wish had bought the lighted cover instead of the non lighted one old eyes but have already read one book and about to start on the next so far so good oh and it is amazing how many free books there are and it fits in my purse 1 very good but still issues had the old dx kindle and still have an ipad in addition to the latest generation kindle just bought for pocket reader the new kindle is definitely improved if only in form factor and screen clarity but they really UNK up with the forward and back buttons there large button on the left and one on the right perfect for last page and next page you think but they UNK both of them to be next page buttons what kind of UNK then above that you have two buttons both of which are last page buttons hey on the ipad you go back when you tap the left side of the screen and go forward when you tap the right side you think that would be the standard if the amazon ergonomics staff can just set these buttons up correctly then at least they should allow you to program them according to your taste what were they thinking 1 epub reading is easy on the kindle use calibre several have wished they had epub support on their kindle to be able to read the vast growing library of epub ebooks use free app called calibre to convert nearly any ebook format including epub pdf UNK simplified doc files into kindle mobi format it usually only takes seconds to convert it then simply move it over to my kindle fast free easy just look up calibre book management on the web or can post link here so reading epub ebooks is very easy for me even the cover photos remain with the calibre conversions update after months use find the kindle mostly amazing and worthy of stars 1 luv my new kindle know am probably UNK but had the k2 only had it since december but had to have the new one since liked it so much and decided if it wasn that much different or didn like would return not chance it is definately smaller lighter love the new way cursor could see if you had big fingers you might touch buttons at once but just use your fingernail and all is fine do not see big difference in contrast but maybe my kindle was updated brighter contrast page turning is much quieter and very fast had slight issue having to put all my books back on the homepage and then putting them back in collections but really only about 15 minutes worth no issues working great if you are still on the fence don be get one 0 junk my kindle will don update and amazon will not stand UNK it here is the that got from them it was sent by UNK to bad so UNK for me UNK hello UNK do UNK about the long time it has taken to resolve your kindle not updating to at the time the UNK are trying to decide what to do as it appears that your kindle somehow managed to UNK out of the factory with an operating system that was not suppose to leave the testing UNK but will hear more on tuesday and will update you then hope this helps did solve your problem spoke to amazon today and they did solve the problem am happy with the readers and would buy another one thank you amazon 1 absolutely love this have never had an ebook reader of any kind am busy stay at home mom and needed something easy enough that even could work am not very good with UNK items so was little worried about buying something like this just got my kindle today and love it had no problems connecting to the internet no problems downloading books or figuring out how to work the kindle was nicely surprised to find out there is no glare on the screen amazed at how light and compact it truly is there are so many features on it sure will never know how to work them all but am so happy with this product it will also come in very handy while traveling 1 great my kindle finally arrived so far it seems good it weighs good amount just attached it to my case which arrived about week ago it is great the text to speech feature works but the voice UNK kindle wrong 0 kindle wi fi the product is amazing enjoy it very much it brings same feeling as UNK the paperback editions only better the screen is crisp and the contrast is good you can read it it even in low lighting which actually do with no strain for the eyes the only set back that see so far is the UNK of the UNK to the face on the left side of the kindle as hold it in the back you can actually feel the margin of the UNK and it is annoying it gets my hand caught in it every time pass my hand there and it is sharp too the UNK is actually to small to cut your finger but UNK should pay extra attention to quality control on the product it UNK the joy and overall feeling have for my kindle worth buying anyway got leather cover and keep it in it update to the earlier review 10 2010 the kindle died in my arms could not believe my eyes it began with typing itself some passwords and then the power button would not work could not wake it up and there was UNK UNK UNK inside the case weird in the space of couple of minutes it UNK all those UNK but as am still UNK with it will not UNK the rating amazon already shipped the replacement which will get in days how cool is that at least they seem to care about my UNK love special UNK to the customer service team as well they were awesome on the phone update to earlier review 14 10 2010 just received the replacement on the one that didn UNK well this one is no better have decided to give up on it enough is enough have UNK the review to as can really be bothered with this product the 2nd one had the same issue on the UNK edge and it keeps re UNK itself and freezes on spot all the time can wake it up from sleep and then can put it to sleep think the product needs more UNK power seems that way to me not to be recommended wished it would but UNK 1 better than my kindle it smaller lighter has better contrast than the kindle and is faster for page turning UNK since my wife used my kindle as UNK ve been waiting for delivery for my kindle now it here and love it same ease of use better storage better screen weights less reads like real book where an ipad would feel like million UNK in one hand 1 amazing device the kindle might just be the biggest revolution in books since the opening of the amazon store it is amazing fast light and very convenient the size is great it fits any pocket and it very easy to take around with you the screen is as good as advertised no UNK or false UNK it is just great screen that looks just like print no issues with sun glare or annoying UNK highly recommend this to anyone who loves to read and those who don might just find in kindle reason to start loving it 1 yet another kindle review why write review when there are already well over 1000 of them doing it because there is some major UNK in the highest rated reviews that read the much UNK replacement battery issue is actually non issue built in UNK UNK battery like the kindle is typically rated for 300 to 400 charges my experience after two weeks of ownership is that each charge lasts about week so that 300 to 400 weeks or at least six years before you will need to even think about replacing the battery all of the discussion about how to replace the battery is pointless of course the UNK few defective products including kindles with defective batteries will have to be returned for replacement something amazon is great at UNK was long time user of the first kindle the kindle is my first replacement kindle after years of using it got very used to the first kindle getting used to the kindle has taken some time since there are lot of changes but after two weeks of ownership the only change that still having any difficulty adjusting to is the change in the center of UNK of the kindle so that when want to thumb type on the keyboard it somewhat more clumsy but am starting to adjust to that too it minor issue that soon won be an issue at all as adjust the improved screen resolution is remarkable love it and the ability to rotate the screen is an amazing feature that really really love with the kindle usually read books with the screen rotated 90 UNK to the landscape orientation it just so much better in the way it allows me to hold the book plus the great aesthetics of wider screen page have kindle with the black case and glad do it won have that UNK or UNK look after years of ownership like my old white kindle did those who have owned computers with white cases and with black cases will know what mean UNK as readability the color of the case is UNK loved my first kindle which now has new happy owner and now am extremely happy with my kindle 1 my first ereader an UNK wife UNK overseas for the first time and totally UNK the UNK of reading materials so decided to invest in kindle after comparing loads of reviews from other ereaders so here list of pro and con as they UNK to 23 year old wife and mother stuck on foreign island in the UNK UNK what don like end up with UNK in my hand if hold it in the same hand for too long brief lag when turning pages not real big deal you get used to it it been hard for me to organize the ebooks ve downloaded like everything in folder and sometimes folders inside of folders but that personal preference what do like instead of waiting up to weeks to get paperback in the mail can pick something out and be reading on my couch in just one minute know that what ereaders are supposed to do but hot damn being in foreign country and having to rely on the base exchange or UNK for books an ereader is UNK novel experience there only slight glare when reading outside not like reading ebooks on laptop where you have to tilt the screen just so and can wear UNK while you re reading with the 3g wifi you can get your books anywhere sometimes buy while on my couch sometimes in the car sometimes when waiting in really long line the kindle store is totally UNK and user friendly you search you find you buy and enjoy love my kindle UNK like UNK while was downloading my first ebook on it absolutely recommend this to anyone who considering UNK in an ereader ll always prefer paperback but due to my living situation totally satisfied with my kindle 1 love my new kindle received my new kindle ordered the wi fi version yesterday and had it up and running in no time have kindle already and am so pleased with this updated version the print contrast is so much better and love the feel of the buttons and response time is excellent also ordered the cover with light and while the lighting has some UNK distribution it is fine for my purposes highly recommend this product 1 new to kindle very positive impression in the first week of ownership read roughly 50 books per year and have UNK getting an ereader for long time with the recent price drop and the stated performance improvements in the 3rd generation kindle providing an additional incentive decided that it was finally time to give it try ve had my new wifi kindle for four days now so far am extremely happy with the device and have had no issues with the transition from paper to kindle the out of box experience and initial setup was painless although may at some point get around to reading the manual for some UNK UNK that might improve the experience have not had to use the manual at all to get the device up and running the user interface is very intuitive the book download process both free and purchased went smoothly the screen contrast makes for easy reading ve read for up to 90 minutes in sitting without issue and the page turns are quick without having used previous generation device can say how much better faster the 3rd generation product is but clearly don have any problems with the performance of my kindle time will tell if miss having my kindle books displayed on the bookshelves next to the hardcover books that have UNK over the years for the time being however am very glad that took the plunge with the kindle it has been great initial experience 1 good upgrade from the k1 owned k1 for almost years loved it switching to the k3 was no brainer because wanted the upgraded capabilities k1 200 books sd slot lost sd cards if you are not extremely careful k3 3500 books UNK more than have bought in the last years k1 battery life UNK as day with the amount of reading do k3 much longer UNK week or more again read for hours day k1 pretty much paperback size k3 alot smaller and lighter k1 no way to organize books into any kind of sections k3 collections love this feature sooo much it would make it UNK but big con for me k1 easily changed screensavers UNK those dead author images UNK UNK UNK k3 and now am stuck with them because amazon did away with the easy changing of them so my 000 images have been UNK in and out for years are worthless for my kindle UNK amazon received my kindle the day before the original release date UNK graphite and have had no problems with it like the smaller buttons than the ones on the k1 don have any complaints other than the screensaver issue please amazon please give me back an easy way to change those 1 great device better than thought it would be received my kindle wifi g3 about week ago heavy reader with an above average reading speed so far ve downloaded 17 books and read already it light weight easy to hold and it operation is almost intuitive the paper ink is remarkable making reading from it easy on the eye the contrast between ink and paper is better than ve seen on many of the paper books ve read the page refresh is fast faster than turning normal page in book the first couple of times used it it seems UNK annoying but after read book or two don even notice it if had any suggestions as to improving the device it would be to place the back and the menu buttons on the top of the keyboard area to give the user easier access to the joystick without hitting the back key which manage to do about half the time fortunately the page forward and page back keys on the side of the unit are well away from any other controls so far no resets or reboots required and ve used it both on the wifi and cell phone connections highly recommend it 1 quirky but terrific ereader new kindle lasted days before totally frozen suggest waiting till amazon works bugs out of this one will not get replacement getting refund what shame new size and case with lite were terrific went back to previous reliable kindle wish apple would drop price of ipad UNK UNK pocket are you listening mr UNK probably too busy counting cash UNK 25 held power button for 15 seconds kindle started working then downloaded update and kindle been working perfectly wife happy again thanks UNK for your suggestions updated 10 been working perfectly great ereader font really pops great case lite perfect for reading in bed this will be the UNK seller at christmas stock up mr bezos 0 disappointed the keyboard is impossible tiny keys that are the same color as the case hard to use and hard to see and the background is not white but light gray this is worse than reading paperback was looking forward to being able to read with larger fonts but with the gray background it doesn matter will read paperbacks 1 love it got this as birthday gift and love it it does not bother my eyes at all like looking at computer screen fits comfortably in my hand and is very light weight virtually no glare on the screen from lighting the pages turn very quickly the web browser is ok but prefer surfing the net on the computer love that can use this with wifi to get online or download book there are so many books available for this device so will never get bored with it it is fairly easy to operate and had no problem learning to use it would recommend getting case to protect it 1 love my kindle when the original amazon kindle came out wanted one but waited by the time the second kindle UNK was really eager to jump on the book bandwagon eventually bought refurbished kindle and loved it owned it for less than year and then the kindle was announced thankfully sold my kindle for great price and picked up kindle when it came out the new kindle is wonderful it is lighter and thinner than the older model and the rubberized backing makes for secure grip the improved contrast is helpful and having international 3g service for free and the option to use wi fi is great the built in dictionary is also huge help having the ability to look up the meaning of word on the spot is great feature ve tried all of the kindle competitors and none of them can touch this device it is easily the best reader out there love the kindle because it enables me to read without cluttering up my house with more books it lets me read the newspaper every day without getting ink on my hands it provides me with ton of free and reasonably priced books since ve been kindle owner ve read much more than used to give the kindle try and sure it ll UNK you to do the same 1 better than real book UNK have been holding out on buy an ereader for some time the promise of space saving virtual book versus adding more bookshelves to my already UNK bedroom seemed to be UNK option UNK the possibility of less UNK existence with an ereader UNK design and possibly even starting myself down the UNK of reading more in UNK of my UNK UNK of UNK watching added even more to the device UNK the caveat until recently has been dull looking screens and physical size when read the reviews about how nice the screen looked and watched live video review of the kindle on UNK knew technology had finally caught up to my visual demands and form factor requirements the screen is gorgeous it looks like paper and has sharp fonts find myself often switching my kindle to power saver mode just to see the cool background screen saver pictures it beautiful device and it fits great in your hand the bottom corners near the physical keypad of the device even have UNK to fit your hand when you hold the kindle for using your thumbs for entering like texting on cell phone the back of the kindle also has an interesting material that feels soft and slip resistant which makes holding the kindle even more pleasurable because of how great holding the kindle feels am going to UNK buying protective binder type cover to house the kindle while it is being used instead plan on buying protective device purely for carrying the kindle when not in use took the kindle to work today and everyone showed it to was impressed probably had at least 12 people say they are going to buy one after playing with mine think what really sold most of my coworkers on the device was when showed them how the font size could be changed so they didn need reading glasses and the text to speech could read to them there were two UNK though who said they won kindle until it has UNK something to think about 1 great device but no ad UNK wifi connection wish could connect to my android phone UNK otherwise terrific device maybe they can enable this feature in software someday oh well 1 the wi fi connection love to read already have the second generation kindle with over thousand books debated getting this one but decided to try it it was delivered today and wanted to try it out right away well can the product details said if you bought it through your amazon account it would already be registered to you unfortunately mine wasn the details said it already had the wi fi connection so went to register my name and found that in order to do so had to connect to wi fi guess what don have one don even know what the heck it is when called support was told the kindle has to connect at least once to wi fi in order to work that means cannot even download books already have on my other kindle to at least check the new one out have choices pay for wi fi through my internet provider use cable they would have to come to the house buy wireless router find hot spot and connect my new kindle there none of these is very UNK option however hope to let other customers who like me are barely electronically literate know that they might not be able to use the kindle immediately unless they have someone in the house who knows about things like this love my kindle and sure will love this new one also however just have to wait another day to use it addendum finally decided to return the wi fi only and get the 3g wi fi received it today and it works great in terms of readability it is huge difference from the k2 now would give stars 0 no ad UNK wifi connections get the 3g version thought would save little money and get the wifi only version my phone window mobile is capable of creating wifi hotspot and always have my phone so figured it would be easy unfortunately the kindle is very UNK in what networks it will connect to it will not allow connection to my hotspot at work enterprise and it does not allow connections to ad UNK networks windows mobile is only capable of UNK an ad UNK network you need infrastructure mode tried all the available options UNK UNK UNK etc the UNK of UNK said that its limitation of the UNK hardware and that only an ad UNK connection is possible was able to share my internet connection from my laptop with free program called UNK then could use my phone via usb to UNK to my laptop then UNK to connect the laptop to the kindle then was online this was very painful round about way anyway love the kindle so UNK return this and get the 3g don cheap out get the more expensive UNK it seems like online that if you have palm latest android or UNK iphone you can get around this issue can confirm or UNK but windows mobile you cannot 1 kindle is great for reading bottom line on kindle have had zero problems with the k3 the first few days battery charge lasted only 24 hours however that was due to lots of downloading indexing over 000 books already owned from my kindle2 days downloaded quickly and without glitch eventually battery kept its charge for 15 days with 3g mostly off find myself reading more more UNK subjects carry around my UNK fare horror mystery my serious fare history classics philosophy and even plenty of kids books UNK the UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK for my 10 year UNK instant reading for my kids UNK on the spot with lots to choose from at any given time for those who see the kindle as book killer or some cold UNK device the thing works as it meant to work the format disappears and you get caught up in the content the story the UNK in the end yes the book there will always be place and UNK in my home and in my heart for the printed page the kindle simply adds to the reading experience it does not detract from it highly recommended one gripe often kindle books do not include UNK of the book cover so it is the equivalent of buying book with the cover torn off love covers and when they are included they are rendered beautifully even in black and white on the k3 sharp contrast screen example the UNK UNK UNK UNK books do not have their wonderful dramatic covers just title page shame on this publisher it makes the ebook inferior to the printed book the UNK UNK books on the other hand UNK their great original covers it makes difference esp to the kids thank you to this publisher publishers please include book covers if not the original at least something with graphic some art not just the first page in book or plain title page what keeps me from giving it the above stated lack of book covers and no sd slot no ability for customer to replace battery no variety in screen savers no ability to put in your own photos as screen savers 1 my second kindle still great work in progress just got my new kindle read my first kindle review that one the one reviewed the UNK took it over takes it everywhere won give it up without fight she loaded it with UNK UNK hey she loves em and it keeps her out of the bars ha ha anyway made comments about the earlier kindle which amazon seems to have read and upon which they have UNK not my comments alone you understand have no such UNK this version is many small steps ahead of the previous kindle it not as large as the kindle dx but it little smaller than the k2 just about the size of hardback book and the new options allow one to read more easily navigation is little more logical and it even quieter another consideration the k3 at this price point is much better value than the dx the dx screen is larger and perhaps the device is superior in some ways but for the casual reader wanting to enter the kindle UNK this is all but no brainer love this product it is still work in progress and it worthy UNK UNK along the way expect many more great things from kindle based on this upgrade 0 the kindle that doesn my kindle shipped without being pre registered to my account the user manual informed me of my two options select settings and then select register UNK the manual told me could register my kindle by visiting the manage your kindle page on amazon at no too difficult right well it was extremely difficult because the 3g never came on after spending UNK minutes on the phone with amazon customer service the 3g finally worked but not the registration tried both UNK but all got was an error message must ve read this error message about million times your kindle is unable to connect at this time if the problem UNK please restart your kindle today three days after received the kindle am still in UNK with customer service it still says my kindle on top of the home screen instead of displaying my amazon account name UNK cannot sync or download books surf or do anything but look at materials manually copied to the kindle via usb is there anybody out there who can help live in UNK and have spent over 300 on kindle shipping import duty phone call to customer service that sells for 189 in the and doesn even work properly not good deal feel like telling jeff about my UNK apart from my frustration with the registration am not very happy with the user interface design that amazon has chosen for the kindle love the lack of UNK and am perfectly happy with text but the people who did this have never UNK UNK for some reason the amazon designers love boxes with round edges in the browser or the search boxes they are plain ugly see google UNK for UNK UNK edges that are UNK pleasing many of these boxes could have been UNK the ones we see now are too round and crash with the less UNK appearance of the kindle hardware also UNK for many books is far UNK from what it should be as an art school graduate UNK when see bold UNK that are UNK pet UNK where is the UNK on the keyboard how about an UNK and question mark it very sad to see this all it takes is bit of software UNK to make alt alt period call up UNK one last thing that noticed after five days with kindle it UNK your life like no other digital device you want to treat it like paperback but you can for fear of breaking it or UNK the screen it simply not as UNK as you want it my UNK netbook took lots of abuse but thanks to its UNK design it survived many falls the open UNK kindle just like all tablets is always UNK with the digital UNK and that weighs heavily on your mind buying covers and UNK makes it even worse it adds bulk and UNK the fear of breaking the precious 200 kindle am going back to my netbook so what if have to charge it over night which has so much more to offer like peace of mind 1 wife loves it picked it up ok ordered it for her to UNK years of UNK she has yet to put it down she loves it picked up the 3g UNK so she could get books UNK UNK now we need to talk about how much she can spend month wow she can read fast recomend this highly for anyone who is thinking about it read the negative reviews and figured that there really not that many bad ones and UNK who has bad UNK will want to let everyone know however all the people UNK good one are to busy reading books to UNK review so there is UNK to be few that have technical problems there always will be can never not have that so if you are sitting on the fence buy you will be glad you did 0 disappointed kept my new kindle 3g wi fi less than 24 hours everytime turned page on the reader the current page would blink and go to the negative black background white letters before turning to the next page tech support informed me that was standard set up how irritating is that the good news is the return was quick and easy 1 solution for the worn keys problem ve had my latest generation kindle for couple of weeks now and love it it does everything it promised to do almost five stars however even though it has great potential for older readers large type UNK easily available and landscape or portrait orientation also easily changed it loses all that potential with those UNK tiny little keys also now that ve been typing on it for the word games for just short time the letter is almost completely worn away and the and will soon be invisible too expected bit more UNK than this update after several months amazon UNK and promptly replaced my kindle with the worn keys but the problem UNK with each replacement now have found skin that covers the unit including the keys and it is beautiful as well as UNK not to wear off UNK is sold on amazon but oddly enough not in the kindle store you have to look under electronics they offer wide variety of skins especially for the kindle 3g in many UNK and the keys are marked better and more clearly than the original kindle keys now happy UNK 1 tip for orange UNK users just to add if you are an orange UNK customer using UNK when you try to connect your kindle type in your key then press button number on your UNK to put it in UNK mode then press connect on your kindle it should connect immediately wasted over an hour trying to connect without UNK mode before the penny dropped otherwise my first impression is much like everyone else it great little thing 1 buy this and few more things omg love the kindle but you have to have few other things dont make the same mistakes did am on my 3rd kindle and im not touching it until my my case comes in dont add any major pressure to it my friend sat on it on the bus by UNK and broke it the second time dropped it so be UNK please buy the following things leather cover hard UNK UNK bag to carry it in for more info watch my video 1 beats my expectations received my new gen kindle yesterday and it has impressed me had previously tried nook for about hours before returned it love reading on the kindle and would read on it over reading paperback one handed use one handed page turns light and convenient UNK small default text is very easy to read and the screen glare is very minimal no heat changes fast very thin page turn buttons work well like the build quality overall getting the wi fi to work took about minutes had to turn it off and back on before it recognized and connected to my network that was the biggest problem and not so big after all once connected my kindle took few minutes to self register and then it downloaded the content already had on pc the qwerty keypad is small but usable don know why but there is space on the UNK for another row of keys between the top row and the display must have some electronics or battery in that place tried the experimental browser it is very much experimental but hope that amazon continues to improve it the mp3 player works but as others have noted it plays all your music in the order it was loaded no selection no player controls let hope that improves too if these were real features not experimental would lower my rating my kindle email address seems to work fine but have not yet viewed the pdfs ve downloaded 1 very pleased as first time kindle user very pleased with my purchase it very easy to read from the screen in most conditions lot of books want to read are available and some magazines are turning out to be good too the battery lasts for very long time reading some books from kindle is actually easier than reading physical book suspect since it lighter to hold and it easier to turn the pages can easily read pdfs as long as the font is reasonably large for complicated pdfs suspect the kindle dx would do better job due to the larger screen so one doesn have to pan around so much the web browser is decent for simple web browsing some minor negative points rapidly UNK through the pages is more difficult than with physical book there seems to be no way of jumping say 10 or 25 pages back or forward although there way of skipping to the next or previous chapter of book there seems to be no way of searching for word by placing the cursor on it placing the cursor of word looks up the definition instead also want to be able to give away books or lend them to friends there no excuse for not having this functionality positive again the software has been very stable it only crashed once during week of intense use and rebooting when that happened was painless it seems that the most recent software update also makes the device remember hidden wi fi UNK the device wouldn remember my home network prior to the update but it does now all in all the kindle is well worth the price and so far it has made me read much more recommend it highly 1 wish amazon offered 139 version in white graphite too much strain for my eyes this model was swap out for the graphite version because could not stand the dark frame realize could purchase white skin but prefer my kindle naked pros easier on the eyes than graphite for some lightweight fairly intuitive very addictive you might want to keep close track of your purchases because you will end up spending fortune very quickly otherwise cons had to go through two software fixes even updating to the beta due to numerous technical problems when my wi fi failed to connect turned out to be kindle software issue could not transfer my documents via 3g amazon needs to UNK the exact differences between the kindle com and free kindle com wasted few dollars testing these features the only thing 3g is good for is for the purchase of kindle content not when you want to transfer documents it is not back up for wi fi the kindle is designed for wi fi period regarding pdfs most of mine academic were too large to read on the screen the kindle needs an optional back lighting feature and not led based back lighting the kindle is best read under soft white reading lights serious readers know that led is not the best lighting to read under as it UNK the eyes 1 new kindel cover the new price point is what sold me excellent reader UNK the classics free for download thanks to this sherlock holmes is wonderful will read UNK UNK and treasure island next bought steven UNK new book for kindle ll still use the library down the street for many books because it free sort of our taxes support it so why not use it but this is new UNK and so convenient at times at this price btw for those of you UNK for cover but UNK at the prices use UNK UNK available wherever shipping supplies are sold got mine at UNK for 75 cents the new kindle UNK into it perfectly 1 awesome my UNK had given this to me for my birthday last month he had given me kindle at first but couple of days after receiving my k2 amazon announced that it will be releasing newer model so was able to read book on the kindle before having to ship it back and wait month for the new one well it was worth the wait can tell that it feels lighter the page turns are quicker and it was cheaper wi fi feature works great and the graphite color doesn change the reading experience hands down the best birthday present ever 1 kudos for the new kindle had brief love UNK with nook which ended when it broke within the first 24 hours of ownership UNK off ebooks altogether but then kept seeing man with his kindle in the local starbucks reading day after day without having to lug the UNK around UNK and bought the new kindle and love it without reservation no more lugging no more finding myself stuck somewhere with nothing to do and nothing to read get lots of free books and lots of low cost books at the click of the cursor when forget character in book am reading my age is showing just type the name and find the previous UNK UNK for anything else want to search for never have to find dictionary to look up an UNK word just put the cursor on the word and the definition pops up when return to book kindle takes me to the last page was reading can read in the UNK no glare or in the dark have cover with book light attached and it works like charm what avid reader would not love this kindle can imagine 1 extremely pleased love this little device yesterday was waiting in an UNK long line at the post office and luckily had my library at my fingertips the size of the kindle makes it easy to transport with you wherever you are also the 3g internet is great perk was able to check my email as well as read some articles using google reader in the middle of the post office if you like to read then this is the reader you should get use it for books and think of the internet as just perk 1 loving my first kindle purchased sony reader touch edition about month ago and returned it the next day because the contrast was awful was going to give up on all ereaders but chose to do some research on the kindle and put in my order immediately figuring could return it within 30 days if didn like it ordered on sept 1st and was told it would ship around sept 17 it shipped on sept 16 and received it the next day and that was with free super saver shipping ve had my kindle for roughly days now and haven had single problem with it when first received it it was not yet registered to my amazon account however it was updated to firmware 01 had no problems connecting to my wi fi either immediately went to my archives and downloaded the free books got from amazon first impressions very small and extremely light thought the screen might be too small to read on but once started reading my first book got used to it and it really is good size especially since you can adjust your text size battery life is pretty good charged it until the light turned green when first got it and while was loading my books loaded about 400 books in UNK of 50 or less and indexing took roughly 20 UNK to an hour per batch depending on how long the book was no complaints about that though only tiny UNK of my battery life has been used which account to the indexing keep the wireless turned off and put my kindle into sleep mode with the UNK screensavers which would be my only complaint about the kindle but that is easily solved with hack when not in use ve been reading mainly at night with UNK haven gotten around to getting book light yet and have had no problems with any glare was pleasantly surprised to find that looking at the screen is truly like looking at paper book only complaint is that pressing the page forward backward and typing makes very audible clicking noise which my significant other UNK at me for while sleeping aside from that no other problems as of yet am definitely loving my first kindle and at 139 you can go wrong 1 worth any wait time for people that have not yet received your kindle kindly stop giving the product itself bad reviews the product is fantastic ordered mine the end of july and was prepared to wait the full month and couldn be happier with the product be patient people ve no doubt that amazon is experiencing very high demand it sooooo worth the wait 1 love it this is my first true reader and do love it have an macbook that previously had kindle software on but the kindle at this price was well worth it first off found reading book on my laptop inconvenient and tended to multi task too much the kindle is light can slip it in my purse when am on the go and there is one less book growing UNK in my UNK it so convenient and easy to read in bed at night when tend to do most of my reading would recommend it for anyone any age 1 worth the wait when kindle was first introduced wanted one but was UNK off by the price in the meantime looked at other ebook readers but was UNK when the kindle was introduced finally decided the price was right and the features sounded even better was wary of being locked into one ebook format but the ability to import mobipocket files as well as pdfs convinced me that those concerns might be bet by the kindle well after just one weekend with my new kindle convinced made the right choice it was worth the wait not only did my kindle arrive already registered to my amazon account but UNK the kindle books been reading on my iphone UNK mobi files from sites like UNK UNK and the UNK project as an avid reader am always buying books and this point ve filled all my shelf space and started UNK books up on the floor as writer keep good many of the books buy as references underline passages want to return to and make notes in the margins that eventually find their way into my writing the kindle will help me save UNK and UNK and share my notes and highlights across most of my devices the lack of kindle software for mac os UNK UNK my desktop computer the experimental web browser only makes it better it allowed me to browse free ebook sites like those above and download mobi books directly to my kindle not having owned any of the previous versions can compare them to this one but friends who ve owned previous kindles and purchased the kindle have UNK about the improvements very happy with my purchase of kindle and sure ll continue to be 1 like it just small UNK for UNK bought it for reading my textbooks quite UNK and was quite willing to return it at the drop of UNK if did not like it am not much in to gadgets haven even played with many settings in the kindle didn try the included browser for week after receiving it and used it for may be two mins don have any mp3 on it just to show that only wanted it for serious reading now any complex pdfs with tables and wide page and lots of text kind of hard to read them don try to read about neck UNK and UNK UNK on it however most text intense pdfs are great and UNK readable kindle service of converting simple pdfs to kindle format is not bad at all all in all like it and it made me read UNK now that is an UNK get it if you want it for reading and don care for intense pdfs with lots of place holding UNK and tables 1 thank you received my first kindle today from the us to UNK days loved it thank you 1 want more just received the latest edition kindle this is my first time with such device find it absolutely remarkable am very impressed but now want more with the wi fi browser options cannot wait to see UNK next downloaded my first book via wifi and it took about seconds and at the same time was being downloaded to my kindle pc everything was easy to figure out and operate and kindle help was must to answer UNK questions ps had very difficult time putting it down to do other things 0 be wary of your purchase right now be wary this new kindle latest generation is in such demand you must go on waiting list that was ok my kindle arrived when stated it is defective was told this by UNK in the electronics field the two people spoke with at support would not UNK to that wait hours and someone will get back to you wait 12 hours and someone will get back to you now it wait business days and someone will get back to you you know they are putting these readers out like UNK but they do not have plan in place to take care of the bad ones feel it is the best reader out there so am at their UNK UNK was told could order books and plug into usb port to download and read while the problem is being solved that didn work either 0 beware of lack of enterprise wifi support we own an ipod touch and ipad and they connect to our home network work and university wifi networks we don really know what enterprise wifi network means and was hoping the kindle wifi only version would connect just like the other devices it works fine at home but is pretty useless everywhere else that has wi fi where we go we get the UNK wi fi network error message saying that enterprise networks are not supported that big negative from my UNK the screen contrast and size and weight is definite improvement over the nook 1 worth the wait yesterday 09 08 2010 received my new kindle latest generation and absolutely love it purchased my first kindle couple of years ago and it became the new and only way for me to read books an avid reader and used to purchase and read books in my laptop then in my pda until the battery died and couldn find replacement for it even in that UNK of UNK known as UNK that first kindle gave me larger screen with better contrast and no glare than the one from my pda those UNK made the kindle lot easier on my eyes after reading for couple of hours and the fact that could look up and buy books anytime anywhere made me feel like was kid in candy store the only thing didn like was the awkward position of the keys to turn the pages of the book the buttons were too large and could accidentally switch pages with just light touch enter the newest generation of kindle which is thinner lightweight and its screen has much more contrast than any of the previous generations purchased the wi fi version to save few bucks and upon taking it our of the box and plug it in to charge its battery was able to add it to my wi fi home network and register it within minutes after reading couple of chapters of book in the new kindle found the higher contrast to be an asset my eyes didn get tired also this new unit is much lighter and less UNK than my first kindle and the buttons are placed so that not afraid to UNK them inadvertently and lose my page UNK recommend this new generations of the kindle 1 best present ever got kindle for my birthday and love it travel lot for work and just this last week finished books without having to search out local bookstore and drive around to try to find it am new to kindle and readers so no comparison information here but just the weight saved in my UNK luggage from not having to carry couple of books is UNK to me plus even if you finish book at UNK so easy to shop and get another one without leaving the comfort of your hotel room if you know an avid reader kindle is great gift idea 1 love my kindle my husband purchased my kindle for me and love it wasn sure how would like it but after using it my hands do not get as tired as they did from holding book and since can set the font size don have to wear my glasses all of the time looked at the sony and for the same price it only held 350 books where the kindle holds 3500 books just took it on road trip and did not get eye strain at all now the only thing is need to go thru my bookshelves of books and transfer them to my kindle just think can clear up whole UNK and have my books with me where ever go purchased UNK case at the local store it had the space for my kindle on one side and the power cord and instruction book on the other went with the wifi only since we have it here at home figured would save the 50 and purchase books if you have wifi in your local area then would not worry with the 3g figured would download everything wanted before taking vacation so if there wasn wifi in the area then wouldn be missing out since most mcdonald barnes and UNK and others have free wifi thought if really wanted something could UNK out store and use the wifi there it was really nice had my UNK with me this past week end he is and he was talking about the new book just UNK at him and told him to look in the UNK bag in the UNK man he was excited stopped at mcdonald downloaded the free book call of the UNK and it was very quiet hour drive am sorry if UNK but as you can see love it 1 this is why have UNK sony its hard to offer review on such popular item without being UNK so let me give you some thoughts from previous fan of the sony reader in 2007 chose to purchase the sony prs 505 over the first generation kindle thought it looked nicer and had the features that needed UNK on my part forced me to replace that with last years prs 600 this model was disappointment from the start poor readability glare issues when this new kindle was introduced finally decided to leave sony and will never look back as company they have decided to continually offer high priced readers that are not wireless except for the daily edition which is far more pricey than this kindle mistake finally their new epub format does not display properly on their readers and what is left for the reader is page numbers in the right column of page sometimes UNK part of word that did it for me ordered this new kindle on september 1st and was told it would ship on or before the 17th that is exactly what happened let me say that this screen to me exceeds paper in some ways depending on the book you are comparing it to can read in less than bright light which was impossible with my sony have UNK 45 novels on my sony and do not care there is only room for one best reader the kindle is it it is simple to use right out of the box it has all the features that you need the page turn buttons are placed in the UNK perfect place to give you that real book holding feel buy one you will not regret it take it from lifelong sony fan my only issue is that its UNK to compare book prices to hard cover prices this is misleading and all the companies are doing it paperback versions are the more accurate comparison here in many instances the prices of both versions are identical so really think that prices should be UNK UNK just bit we are dealing with digital file and there is no printing or paper costs but let me say this there are plenty of free books available for this kindle which makes me very happy overall its about convenience and space saving for me my other UNK is that in the future kindle should consider having user replaceable battery editions available if you are on the fence about one of these jump off and treat yourself have the wi fi only version and it works fine buy my books at home so there is no need for 3g for me but that is up to the individual what is must is case an investment like this is worth protecting and bought the 30 dollar blue case for mine ask yourself would you own cell phone without case good luck and hope this helps even one person out there thanks for reading love my kindle 0 works great as long as you are not an international customer bought this device given the price drop and improved size weight and screen resolution it seems to work well enough assuming you can find what you want and actually get it sent to you UNK lies the UNK am giving the product only two stars because as an international customer you simply cannot get access to books as readily as you could should due to being in different region UNK being anywhere but the us do you want certain newspapers sorry not UNK in your region is likely to be the case happen to like given book sorry not in your region or not even available at all because not all books are in ebook released fashion do you like those free books well click on them and notice that they pop up in price when you get to their link because you guessed it time to UNK the international buyers don think have the most obscure taste by any means but of my first few searches am running into exactly this problem either not an ebook at all or not available in my region even if it is an ebook this whole need to try and get yourself us shipping address to send uh email book digital ones and UNK is ridiculous and will seriously cut how many books can buy even if wanted to the only way around it can see somehow get your hands on us credit card which is not going to be easy for 99 99 of the users as such the utility of having the device which on its own UNK is probably or stars takes huge hit for international users and it gets two stars and that is almost feeling UNK at the moment the devices are up to UNK in terms of technical ability alas the book market is UNK behind the times in terms of making this truly useful product to those outside the us buyer beware outside the us make sure you can find lot of what you like and get it sent to you before you buy one 0 no local language disappointed russian is not UNK keyboard qwerty for europe UNK UNK eacute UNK les pdf UNK UNK eacute UNK egrave UNK egrave UNK et UNK est UNK UNK le UNK en plus qwerty de plus les UNK UNK ne UNK UNK UNK les UNK menus UNK UNK en UNK UNK est UNK UNK UNK le top par UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK en UNK UNK format kindle UNK UNK bien 1 perfect even better than my kindle2 which is saying alot after waiting few weeks got my kindle3 wifi version and have to admit was bit nervous given the mixed reviews after you sort through all the star reviews that were simply based on shipping and backorder problems there seemed to be some concerns about the kindle failing to connect to wifi and freezing rebooting while being used have to say read every night and have not seen single problem super easy to connect to wifi right out of the box and UNK sync right up with my kindle account and current books im amazed at how much smaller it seems UNK UNK in comparison to my kindle2 but the same screen size ultra fast page turns great access to the kindle store etc honestly have no use for the web browser have many other things designed for that to surf the web on so cant comment on web browsing issues all in all its awesome and perfect for reading which is what use it for hope this helps people looking to get into the kindle market 1 everything amazon claims is true it wonderful just looked over all the amazon claims for kindle again and my experience after nearly month is that they are all completely true the form factor is extremely light easier to handle than book never gets warm it so small it fits the inside pocket of man UNK jacket and so thin and light that it UNK there the screen is bright and clear the adjustable type is beautiful operation is snappy and there so much memory that space is not an issue charged it when it arrived and never since so it clear that the battery will last me at least month reading couple of hours or more every day it connects readily to the at cell network even in poor area for at and it is also very easy to connect to my wifi networks and without any hassle books even big ones really do seem to download within 60 seconds and the choice of books is nearly endless ve bought recent bestsellers fairly obscure books published back in the UNK and especially old classic books many of which are free and good quality it especially convenient when you read several books at the same time as do switching is fast and effortless never UNK bookmark very simple to email personal documents to the kindle when you need to take bunch with you the small keyboard is hardly noticeable but works well enough for the occasional need such as typing in the key for wifi connection the direction navigation keys work very smoothly don know whether earlier models were this good but at least this kindle fully lives up to all the claims made for it also bought the standard amazon non lighted cover which is very well designed at the current price you will soon have saved more than its cost in low priced and free classic books it pleasure to have product so UNK designed and so UNK UNK and delivered anyone who reads books should go ahead and buy one now 1 own an ipad but prefer the kindle own an ipad and love it for internet games and video but for book reader it just too heavy and the light hurts your eyes late at night plus afraid to take it anywhere for fear of it being lost damaged stolen picked up kindle and it perfect and at the price if something happens to it it not the end of the world forget all the experimental features kindle does one thing and does it right love the dictionary function didn think would use it but find myself using it all the time if could change one thing replace the locations with pages update UNK 2010 they added page numbers love it 1 kindle review after week of use okay have waited week plus to post my review largest complaint is that the cursor buttons are too small for me other complaints are that there are no page numbers to UNK books for research papers think that many other people are complaining about this can see amazons point that this is difficult since if you change the font size then the page number would not be available if you wanted the page numbers to match the paperback or hardcover then this would be up to the UNK of the material to use this reader in college setting where an UNK asks you to turn to certain page this would be difficult to do without page numbers and quick way to get to that location without pressing buttons over one hundred times think amazon com really needs to UNK UNK and UNK to set standard for either book readers or set standard for the kindle and have this published on the amazon com site on proper UNK with kindle this would include UNK UNK as well as the UNK or works UNK page the lack of college texts are also leaving me UNK my head have constantly looked for textbooks that UNK state university is using for the kindle to no avail except for micro and UNK would love to try using the device in the classroom setting it is always easier to state the bad without the good my opinion of the reader is it is wonderful device for reading am actually reading more since am able to download free books am not one that UNK in any book unless needed and even out of copyright books cost money do not go to the library since this is time consuming with full time job and college classes and teaching it is almost impossible to read for fun let alone go to the library am able to read outside and the device is light enough to pack in my brief case for light reading at lunch will say this about the display actually spent few minutes trying to get the label off the screen when received the device last saturday september UNK it comes nicely packed and on the screen when it arrives is how to plug it in to start charging was not prepared for the screen to look like an actual printed label getting my wifi to connect was very simple and to download book is even simpler even to download pdf files and free books are very simple have completed two books on the device as well as two readers digest magazines and the plain UNK newspaper overall give the system five thank goodness the device has come down to more reasonable price UNK 1 UNK review of kindle have owned kindle for about year now but the lower price and extra storage UNK me to pre order the kindle in late july when it became available received it via ups within day kudos for that especially since did not request day shipping ve now had the kindle for about weeks and read two or three books on it and have some things to say both pro and con regarding this new version pro the screen is indeed sharper and the contrast better for the most part the new button layout is welcome especially having previous page on either side of the kindle now page turn is faster slimmer design is welcome and readily fits in my UNK pocket very happy to have the storage space UNK con moving the numbers from the hard keyboard to the virtual symbol keyboard was bad idea especially since there clearly was room for it on the new kindle really UNK to type in the date you read the book compared to kindle the option to highlight name or word and then find it seems to be gone highlighting just highlights now if you want to find text you have to type it in now this now also seems the case with my kindle but it used to work differently this is moving away from convenience poor move my kindle has UNK rebooted half dozen times at least this almost never happened with my kindle browser tends to have difficulty loading pages which means if you have to log on to access wi fi you may have troubles don notice much difference in battery life from kindle especially if you leave wireless on the wireless connectivity seems better on the old kindle than this new one when set them side by side at my desk at work the old kindle shows five bars new kindle only shows one bar 1 kindle 3rd gen is great like the fonts lighter weight good price better keys especially the way more capacity better contrast on now can make your own collections dictionary function regular wifi works fine 1 even more pleased the only thing that ever disappointed me about the kindle was the UNK this summer that it couldn download books in europe that defect is am assured corrected by the kindle that received yesterday the fact that it has both g3 and wifi capabilities is UNK plan bs are good to have at hand the screen is indeed brighter higher contrast and the device is smaller and lighter it will take me while to learn to switch it on at the bottom but am working at it the re UNK of buttons is UNK solution to the problem of reducing platform size and the buttons all work overall this version meets all expectations generated by years of kindle use and by the detailed description of the new UNK yes UNK there UNK truth in advertising the greatly reduced price of the doesn hurt either the greatest surprise though for me was not the book but its cover ordered one of the self lighting ones wondering whether the batteries of the light would cancel the weight reduction of the kindle it does not in piece of elegant engineering the low UNK UNK of the pull out light tab get their power from the kindle battery via the two UNK that attach the cover am impressed and test drove the device in the dark in bed last night the light UNK at the perfect angle for comfortable glare free reading and when you turn the kindle off the light goes out too my UNK to the UNK 1 love it happy sold my prs 505 for this what can say that hasn already been said the kindle rocks the screen is really really nice to read on previously owned the prs 505 before this which was considered the UNK for ereaders by many the kindle feel blows the sony away although its made out of plastic it still feels solid and is very easy to handle and switch pages while reading with the sony changing pages started becoming tiresome for some reason can really explain why maybe the buttons were little stiff but not having this problem with the kindle going back to the screen the contrast is excellent call me crazy but feel that the kindle is even clearer than book its really pleasure to read on also love the wireless book transfers that did not have with the sony this is great perk and very much appreciated the best part about this whole thing is that sold my sony for double the cost of the kindle wireless only so def happy UNK 1 thanks to all those who leave comments first off want to thank all of you who write comments on the kindle received my first kindle yesterday and like so many of you love it am novice it is very easy to navigate but questions always UNK without the discussion section would have been lost and UNK frustrated you are my owner manual purchased the lighted cover and it works great it does add to the weight but the kindle alone is bit slippery can imagine using kindle without some type of cover to provide some protection the lighted cover is pricey but feel well worth it some of the UNK covers are priced higher without light the light is god send the fact that it UNK UNK with the cover makes it especially appealing found it very easy to download UNK books via the web wouldn use this device to check my mail etc because the print is so small but love being able to download books without the need of computer ve downloaded boat load of free books that have long wanted to read UNK the UNK UNK series my man UNK UNK UNK UNK when on the web it has frozen up but thanks to reader comments it was easy to UNK not con to me plan on giving two kindle for christmas and will include lighted cover for both my battery life has not been even close to that advertised but have been downloading good many books and make good use of the light which is drain ll be interested to see what others have to say concerning the battery added sept 20 2010 unfortunately had to return my graphite kindle because the lettering wore off ordered second graphite and received it today the letters are faded and coming off so have to return it tomorrow ll probably order white kindle don know if ll be purchasing kindles for christmas since the wearing of letters has become such an issue and the wi fi only comes in the graphite 0 UNK buyers beware after buying three kindles for myself and my family have just had the most UNK hour on amazon com literally every book tried to buy was not available in your area am in the UNK of UNK for some reason UNK buyers were UNK from amazon uk where we usually buy books etc to amazon com the really really annoying thing is could buy most of these books in paperback form from either the american or uk stores why why why sell me this device knowing that the number of books available to me are seriously restricted would very much appreciate an explanation for this 1 UNK to reading and loving it being new to the reader UNK wasn sure what reader to go for whether it be the kindle or nook the first one UNK was the nook only because you can take it for test drive in most barnes and nobles book stores almost was completely turned off on purchasing an reader from my experience with the nook sure it looked pretty it had the cool color touch screen at the bottom and few other nice features but it felt so slow whenever you turn the page it would flash black and second or two later the next page would show up even the touch screen activity at the bottom of the device felt slow and buggy to me maybe this was because it was very much used store display few months passed and went on to amazon com and noticed that the new kindle UNK was going to be released upgraded smaller faster new graphite color UNK and best part of all only 139 00 for the wi fi model sold pre ordered it got free shipping and received it the very next day after it was released had already purchased some books for it and when got it and set up the wi fi the books were instantly downloaded to the device as for the actual performance of the device and am very happy with the page turns are extremely fast hardly even noticeable wonderful battery life have only had to charge once since have had it the new kindle is an amazing reader and would suggest it to anyone who is looking for superb device and experience 1 UNK waiting for weeks like kid at christmas received my kindle at my doorstep week ago have already read more than have for long time UNK college reading the ability to look up word without having to get out dictionary and search for the page is just mind blowing being able to download the entire works of UNK UNK UNK UNK etc for just few dollars and then having them with you at all times is seriously life changing my favorite part of the kindle is that it is easy focus on the books instead of getting caught up in UNK the kindle store is amazing could write pages and pages of why love the kindle and it does deserve more than stars but everything has been said already so will put my suggestions for improvement below the kindle needs to be more academic and university friendly page references and footnotes are difficult to deal with tend to hit the menu and back buttons when use the directional controller the software organization could be streamlined and UNK the charger port should be at the top so that when you read you can have the kindle rest on your lap not sure how they would do this but wish there was faster way to add your own notes the my clippings on the homepage feature is burdensome and difficult to use would rather the clippings be accessible within menu or something again these are minor details and hardly detract from the absolute beauty of the device 1 wow so ve held off writing my review because thought the UNK of my new kindle would wear off its been just about month since received my kindle it has to be the coolest thing ve ever used its light easy to use and so easy to store it fits perfectly into my purse so can take it anywhere also purchased the cover with the light built in and now can read in bed without feeling UNK that disturbing my husband did not previously own an reader so can compare it to previous editions or to other makes but can imagine anything being better would definitely recommend the kindle to anyone 1 amazed and pleased this is an absolutely amazing electronic reading device the screen has perfect resolution and you can definitely read it with no problem in direct sunlight it is so easy to use it is very sleek well designed and quality built it is very light and easy to handle the amazing part is that it is real ink that is used in the reader and it uses barely any power to run it am so amazed with this technological wonder that am more than satisfied highly recommend this item to anyone who is looking for high quality wireless reading device prepare to be amazed amazon you have UNK yourself on this item thanks for great product with such ease of use very pleased gene somewhere in UNK 1 never leave it don ever leave home without my kindle use to UNK around several books at time and no longer have to do so the battery lasts longer than expected the clarity and convenience of being able to order new book and have it within minutes is wonderful thanks amazon 1 love my kindle have been wanting kindle for quite some time since it was first launched and finally pre ordered the kindle in mid august received it on september 3rd and have read books on it already always loved to read but having thousands of books at my fingertips has UNK my reading passion do not have to worry about getting UNK bill like you would for some of the others and only have to pay for the books purchase even then the books are economical and easy to buy since it is linked up to your UNK credit card they are delivered in seconds definitely did research on the other ebooks on the market but nothing compares the price style and ease of the kindle makes this the best purchase have made in very long time cannot leave my house without it and neither will you 1 great but definitely needs software update well this is my 3rd kindle and the physical product itself is wonderful it lighter has great screen with much better contrast and the battery life is great as expected the fact that the numbers on the keyboard are missing was little bit of drag but used to using the top row along with pressing the alt key to get the numbers and it works fine really like the new keys and the directional control is so much nicer the buttons on both sides also makes for easy page turn regardless of which hand holding it with one UNK though is that when carry it find myself hitting these buttons way too much and have to be UNK about it otherwise inadvertently turn the page not big deal but it gets little annoying when forget about it would like to say that the software issues was UNK with have since been fixed forgot to come on here and update my review it now is the perfect device and ve purchased another one update kindle was ordered on saturday mid day and selected day shipping with amazon prime received it on monday figured get it on tuesday another perfect transaction and the product itself is perfect as expected 1 worth the upgrade if you are kindle owner UNK the value of upgrading my strong suggestion is that you do it UNK form more pleasant screen and better button ergonomics not to mention getting past those annoying random software events that suddenly change your page your book or present you with one of the literary screen savers that you have seen hundreds of times wonder what they would think of being UNK in this electronic way the kindle has finally UNK from the category of very UNK but useful UNK to one which is modern attractive and UNK in its UNK think that amazon probably UNK someone from UNK to do some design UNK if that is the case it worked hesitate no more buy it you won be disappointed 0 would you ship it already how long does it take you guys to fill an order would you ship it already please you can create all this hype and not have the product ready 1 the best electronic device ever purchased this for my 19 year old who is UNK in college and just loves loves loves to read have had this device for literally minutes now it is extremely easy to operate and have already downloaded books from amazon which where free of course just to check it out and they were literally delivered to the kindle within seconds words cannot express how pleased am with this device already probably will be purchasing one for myself and maybe my other two UNK as well if you love to read this is the ereader for you spent countless hours comparing the borders nook and sony to the kindle and the kindle by far is the better value waiting two weeks on this item on back order was definitely worth the wait it also has what no other ereader has and that is microsoft works word am not sure which one yet but no other ereader offers this option this is the only ereader that offers 3500 books just on the stored memory either like said if you love to read this is the way to go did not get the ereader with 3g just the wi fi and all had to do was enter my password from att and was off within literally seconds can type all day about the good things am impressed with so far enjoy am that is before turn it over to my daughter 1 better kindle finally upgraded since buying the k1 when it came out skipped the k2 although bought one for my UNK eacute and she loves it decided it was time for me to upgrade and the k3 is perfect got the wifi only version the first changes notice was the size so much smaller and comfortable than the k1 page turns are lightning fast and the contrast improvement is great pdf are still little cumbersome to use but for reading books this k3 excels by far over any other reader out there wireless was simple router setup allowing k3 access and entering the password and was browsing the store in matter of couple minutes web browser is little sluggish but the kindle isn designed for surfing the web and watching youtube videos text to speech isn really that bad although feature probably will use little overall am glad waited awhile after all have perfectly good k1 to use but the k3 is simply amazing and highly recommend it to anyone in the market for an ereader 1 after upgrade from kindle to kindle upgraded from kindle to kindle after owning my first since few days after it was released really like my the kindle and used it pretty much continuously for both novels and non fiction books there were few things about the kindle that wanted improved and when the new version was announced it seemed that some of these things were being addressed by amazon the first thing is purely UNK didn like the size of the case relative to the size of the screen to me it looked almost UNK the new size is definitely plus though would rather have slightly larger screen instead of smaller case because was fine with the overall size of the reader also liked the dark color of the sony reader because it was obvious that it made the screen and letters seem to have better contrast the difference in both UNK of contrast and the actual is significant and impressive on the kindle the third was the really limited web browser even though occasionally did use it it was barely worth the effort the new web browser is hugely improved to the point where you can almost read articles comfortably the improved speed of downloads via wifi also helps thirdly the speed of the page turns was really an issue for me because tend to flip back and forth in books and waiting for pages to turn when you need to go forward or backward ten pages was really something had to learn to UNK on the earlier kindle the new kindle UNK much faster even though you still have to turn page by page for the most part the new kindle is quite and improvement the build quality is excellent better than the kindle where the page turn buttons were little loose but there is one thing that have noticed and will miss about my old kindle that is the new page turn buttons are smaller and UNK the edges of the case and this makes it difficult for me to hold it with one hand and press the buttons by UNK with my finger and thumb may get find another way to hold it but for now it feels like may drop it every time turn page when reading one handed 0 bad things have had kindles and they broke was sitting on UNK and when turned it on the screen was UNK up and the other was dropped on backpack and the screen had lines on it when it turned on do not think kindles are very strong they are great if you are very careful and have hard case they were kindle UNK 1 what pleasant surprise after reading numerous reviews took the plunge on the UNK kindle wi fi with 3g stars is not enough for this reading device absolutely love it extremely easy to set up operate navigate had problems with any of the functions all of the buttons are very well laid out also purchased the amazon kindle cover with the light and have concerns or complaints about that as well to have complete book downloaded in less than 60 seconds with just push of button that just incredible UNK off to amazon for making everything so seamless enjoyable this is the real deal if you enjoy reading for multiple hours at time lift finger turn page it really just that easy and if you re outside same thing no worries about the wind blowing and losing your place etc hope this helps no complaints from me 0 page numbers has no page numbers annoying for any UNK work unable to do references and its just plain UNK by amazon 1 better than reading paper book works very well UNK comfortable for the eyes much better than back light screens UNK ipod to my surprise it is much better than reading paper book same comfort but more functions 1 exceeded my expectations am very impressed with amazon kindle wireless reading device latest generation books can easily be downloaded within seconds it very easy to use and can be read in direct sunlight have no complaints whatsoever definitely worth the money 0 frozen my unit worked well for days screen was very nice and 3g worked fine on the fourth day it UNK froze and never came back from this state even after trying UNK and hard resets holding power switch for 15 UNK after full charge very disappointed and will return the unit as soon as possible hopefully to get better one it seems to be frequent problem wish had waited few months before buying the unit addendum returned the unit the whole process of return refund was very simple and relatively fast about 10 days using the UNK return slip available online amazon still deserves couple of stars for their service the kindle on the other hand 1 UNK awesome loved my 2nd gen kindle didn think could love this one better but do awesome improvements everything is better totally worth upgrading just for the size weight change but there is so much more great job 1 don hold out too long though at first hesitated about purchasing an reader now know what an excellent decision it was to purchase the new kindle reading on this device is incredibly easy the text is very easy to read and the page turning is fantastic if you want an reader this is the one to get 1 love this kindle so happy with this purchase had been on the fence for while as to which reader to buy weighing all the pros and cons of each then the 139 wifi kindle came out and decided to go for it am so glad did it is easy to download books the screen is great it really is just like reading printed page and it looks just as good in bright sunlight am hooked the only minus have noticed so far is that the keyboard is so small and could be hard to read for someone older with limited eyesight 1 in general great ebook reader yet UNK appear don wanna UNK too much on the advantages of the new kindle those reviews covered every aspect thus here to point out some UNK that have discovered after almost two weeks of use first one is the screen freeze though nothing has happened after the update still would like to point out as UNK up the issue is that after received my kindle experienced on average once day screen freeze they didn last long though the only bummer is that have to restart the device and find the page was at before the freeze happened which made me UNK the automatic bookmark is not real time ll keep updating if anything changes the second one just found out today was reading under the sun similar to that in the kindle commercial it was UNK day but there would still be some occasional direct sunlight after while UNK there was an significant decrease in the speed of page turning and the screens UNK more times when kindle went to sleep and wake don know if mine is an UNK issue or others may have similar experience but don get me wrong folks not UNK picking like my kindle but just think there are little things that might happen and amazon should pay little attention to it again ll keep you posted if anything changes 1 UNK not received yet hey this UNK was UNK to give as present in birthday tomorrow according you will ship in days and see stand by 1 arabic language it is so UNK and UNK precious to have but it does not support arabic language huge market UNK it if when done to support our language 1 kindle el UNK en UNK oacute esta UNK UNK con un UNK muy UNK la UNK es UNK UNK la pantalla es del tama ntilde UNK UNK UNK UNK muy UNK de leer UNK UNK UNK UNK aacute UNK sin UNK los UNK la UNK aunque UNK UNK UNK gb UNK los uacute UNK en los que UNK UNK UNK es aacute que UNK para UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK aunque si lo UNK UNK para UNK mp3 si UNK UNK UNK el wi fi es UNK con la UNK de UNK me UNK oacute todos UNK UNK books me los UNK UNK aacute UNK su formato UNK aacute UNK UNK UNK UNK de UNK web UNK por internet UNK en sin flash pero

que es el reader aacute UNK del UNK 1 nook vs kindle previously had nook it screen went bad in months and had enough with all the other issues that came with it lag low battery life UNK customer service was horrible unable to download books had already purchased due to UNK card and them wanting me to purchase them again kindle wins hands down 1 omg this is so awesome this is the best damn thing ever get so excited every time pick it up to read guess that will wear off with time UNK yeah right it like my very own bookstore right there whenever wherever awesome 1 happy reader love my new kindle would recommend it to anyone that loves to read 1 so easy to set up received my very first kindle end of august was able to set it up very quickly waited several years watching the reader market until kindle am delighted with it it was clever of amazon to make it compatible with apple as have an UNK and laptop think there is space for both kindle and an ipad as they are used somewhat differently amazon support was terrific and corrected an error made when purchasing kindle book very friendly and efficient all in all highly recommend kindle 1 love the kindle just received the new kindle after losing my first generation in an unfortunate bedside lamp accident received the first one as christmas gift and was very reluctant to use it however after week or so was completely hooked and honestly can remember why hesitated amazon does lot of free book downloads and most books are far cheaper on the kindle than they would be to buy in the store UNK in mind that still getting used to the new model ve found few pros and cons for each really liked the scrolling feature on the first gen the arrows on this one seem to be bit harder to navigate through my books also really liked the automatic whispernet on the first gen rather than having to connect to an existing network don have the 3g version that being said love that this one isn so sensitive with the page turning often on my old kindle fall asleep reading only to find that the book just started was now all the way at the end the contrast on this one where others have said it hurts their eyes find makes it much easier to read especially in low light like that the new version gives you the percentage of how far you are along in the book rather than just the UNK to make you guess do however wish that the new one displayed the author and title along the top of the book like the old one did it may and just haven found it yet regardless whichever kindle you purchase it wonderful product and can honestly say that being without it for the better part of two weeks was pure UNK 1 the best gadget have purchased in long time love my kindle was on the fence about buying one worried that it would be UNK and that would have buyer remorse can happily state that neither of these are the case take it everywhere because it easily fits in my handbag read while my kids play at the park when have few minutes to myself during the day and at night before go to bed see book reviews of things may want to read and pull out my kindle and add it buy it on the spot the selection of books is UNK seriously cool would recommend it for avid readers for sure 0 who there didnt notice that was missing go to register my new kindle and oh my god how much miss real number buttons had hell of time entering my password with the UNK soft keys after pressing at needed to press down to enter the password that doesn work then tried pressing enter UNK it just UNK text so you have to close it then press down then open it again really hope they add hard numbers again they are needed for some of the UNK do like jumping to places in document or typing in addresses in google maps or going to do like that it fits in my pocket better with the head phone jack pause button and volume controls on the same end and accessible the new speakers UNK UNK UNK far more than the old one just as useful as it is annoying gave it two five because so few people rate it two and felt sorry for my favorite number 1 better then had hoped after debating for about year glad waited for version but kind of think it would have been nice to have after checking bunch of reviews think this sentence UNK it up best if you like books then maybe the kindle isn for you but if you like to read then get it started book to just test it am now reading faster and better then did with physical book about way in day and it is just so easy on the eyes it does one thing and does it really really well if you ve been on the fence and now with the new low price would say don hesitate 1 quite good book reader got this kindle 3rd generation at august UNK 2010 it is so nice comfortable to eyes and easy to buy books and read but korean font is somewhat ugly kindle must be perfect book reader if amazon change its korean font 0 kindle my UNK can actually comment on how cool or useless the kindle is because it been over two weeks and amazon still hasn filled my order don get your hopes up when you order your kindle it going to take forever for it to arrive if it ever does 1 only one negative just got the kindle and it is easy to use easy to read and does what it advertised to do the only thing wish they would have added is an optional back light you can read in the sunlight but if it evening and your setting on the couch with little UNK light you just can see the pages have kindle for pc on my netbook and at night this far surpasses the kindle kindle if your listening you missed home run by base please add back light that can be turned on or off that way you make everyone happy 1 this is what the future looks like ve been using amazon for years now and have never bothered to write review but the kindle changes everything had pretty high expectations for the kindle but when it arrived today it completely exceeded all expectations the kindle is amazing had never seen an ink screen and am absolutely blown away by how good it is and how different it is to computer screen my main worries when buying the kindle were UNK it would be awkward to navigate using the keyboard and if it might be tricky to put pdfs on it both are simple and intuitive have already put all my college books UNK notes and problem UNK onto it it will make such difference to have them all in such handy device and they look well on the kindle can already tell as well that am going to be reading way more novels something that really like that didn see mentioned anywhere before buying it are the images that come up when you turn it off every time you turn it off it shows different image pictures of different authors UNK classical pictures etc could go on about all the great features but they re listed here already basically as an ebook or pdf reader you couldn beat it before buying it obviously new all the features and they looked impressive but didn appreciate at all what brilliant overall user experience the kindle provides ve wanted the kindle for while now but negative reviews made me hesitate bit if you ve been UNK to buy it would definitely say go for it you will definitely not regret it 1 the joy of reading my first kindle was the kindle dx had to return it due to the fact that it was very painful to my wrists am over 72 and had bad accident as young man broke both arms fingers and all of it at one time could go on and on with the rest of the broken things but anyway with age arthritis set in and the large kindle really raised the UNK with me just received the smaller kindle and could spend hours telling you how great this book or reading device is had almost stopped reading altogether over the years due to my wrists etc always hated turning pages and if lost my place you were up and down the book looking for it love history space ancient UNK and it all in books so much to read and not UNK life to read it all and to find out the answers that we all want to know are we UNK of et or what UNK in god but where did all the knowledge come from so fast and it not over yet it just keeps UNK with the years and how do we learn it by books of course since we can not all be there as it UNK we have to read about if we want details which you never get from the tv what am saying is this the kindle is an amazing reader you will love the ease of doing the various items that the kindle has to offer have experienced one thing have trouble putting it down once get started reading it whole new world and you will love it 1 great item received my kindle two days ago and love love it it downloads books so fast ordered it from amazon and the said it would take days but received it in days am really happy with it and would tell anyone to buy it am still le 1 my first ereader have not owned an ereader before took the plunge and purchased kindle wifi made the purchase for few reasons that thought the kindle filled will be travelling bit and having something to read while travelling and being away from home just got whole lot easier have purchased books in the airport because ran out of reading material or just forgot to bring something that will not happen again can look for books to take with me on trip load them up on the kindle and take smaller suitcase and not worry about the weight restrictions if do for some reason run out of reading material all need is free wifi hot spot and can access all the books that amazon has to offer since travel with netbook as well can also find free books on other sites and load them up if it comes down to that too second consideration was the price point it just became more affordable for me to purchase the device at 139 am not sure would have spent over 150 having the device in my hands for few days now find that am reading bit more at home now even though the main focus was to read while was away the display seems to be crisp and the text nice and dark the size and weight of the unit make it very comfortable to hold and for me the position of the page turn buttons is perfect not everything is UNK but that isn all amazon fault am canadian reader and some of the titles are not available in canada the restrictions are frustration but they don detract from the kindle itself mention it only as warning to readers so they check the availability of books in UNK area and don think that if they are outside the usa they can access all of the content 1 great product very happy with my unit it does everything expected it to do it not perfect but getting closer 1 kindle great product as previous kindle user can say that kindle is great upgrade from the previous generation as well as great option for those interested in getting an reader the device is incredibly light but still feels solid in your hand the button layout is UNK and improved from the second generation though it takes little adjustment page turns are quick and silent all of this adds up to create UNK device the kindle disappears and you can just read isn that the point in the first place chose to get the wifi only version to save some money if you have wireless network at home or visit places with wifi then would consider this model it working well for me buying books is just as easy but also streamlined with improved performance it should be noted that with buying books online like this one does lose the feeling of physically browsing books amazon has made lot of books available the only book haven found was catch 22 but find the book selection little UNK sometimes it helps to know what you re looking for kindle satisfaction may depend on the kind of reader you are very UNK books textbooks and some UNK will lose its UNK on the kindle the kindle dx may be better choice if you read lot of textbooks or UNK for the rest of us the kindle is great if you re deciding between kindle and an ipad you ll want to UNK your reading habits if all you re looking for is an all around device and only want the option to read then you would want an ipad if you read more or read for UNK of time or read in the sun lot then the kindle is for you 0 k3 wireless defective design for home network most recently purchased your latest generation kindle with wi fi only versus the kindle with 3g based on your UNK in your comparisons between the models you mentioned that the wi fi model would be great choice if you already have high speed internet connection and wireless router setup at home based on that advice ordered the wi fi model was most anxious to receive my new kindle since my husband had received his as christmas gift last december and has enjoyed it immensely was also looking forward to sharing in his archived books how very disappointed was to learn that the kindle with wi fi would not connect on my home network because am using the latest networking technology UNK UNK was told by one of your UNK that the kindle would only work on the UNK UNK based technology the suggestion was made that re configure my home network and UNK my wireless capability to the based technology thus UNK down my internet access was also given the option of going to my local mcdonald and downloading my reading materials there but again that suggestion didn appeal to me therefore was forced to re package and return my new kindle have good friend who is considering purchasing kindle but warned her already not to believe the wi fi feature UNK and to UNK more information before making her purchase hope you can find some way of UNK your UNK to UNK what type of wi fi is needed so as to prevent UNK of disappointed customers like myself 1 got me into reading again had been thinking of getting an reader for little while and am now so glad waited this new generation kindle is sweet love the size feel crispness of the words being able to hold it with one hand and drink my coffee just makes you go UNK the instant gratification of reading review online downloading book and being able to start reading it is perfect the kindle library has some great free and discounted books that has allowed me to explore other books authors probably wouldn have looked twice at in book store am always reluctant to UNK out from my usual don really understand the complaints about the page turning slowness takes the same amount of time as UNK page and turning it yourself plus just got mine week ago after it has been sold out for while so guess all the software glitches have been fixed because have not experienced any problems with mine bought the wi fi only version since don travel much and have no need for 3g connection if am out of wifi range if were to go somewhere would just download any new books before went thank you amazon for giving me an easy way to sit back and enjoy reading again am recommending it to everyone 1 you will be UNK the kindle song this is very cool device works great and the price is right got one for my wife the only problem have is getting her to stop UNK the kindle song from tv she must like it the device mean 1 not too UNK just got it yesterday and pretty happy with it ve been loading it down with tons of free classics and have yet to be disappointed no crashes no wi fi problems it took reading about three or four pages before really got used to it and the technology seemed to disappear behind the story exactly as it should four stars instead of five because find the collections organization bit clunky rather move things into folders than use tag system it would be nice if could manage my collections on the amazon website and then they would sync to the device heck this may be possible just haven fully UNK yet overall nice buy and highly recommend it my spare bedroom is already filled with physical books and was running out of room fast problem solved 1 live up to the hype kindle next generation with wi fi only UNK you must have watched the UNK video by now everything it claims is true it is joy to read my 10 and 13 year old children have their UNK books and UNK collections at their fingertips have my UNK of UNK books we can all read these books using my one amazon account shared on two pcs two kindles and one blackberry can tell you how excited am that my kids are enjoying reading and the kindle makes it that much more enjoyable for them setup the kindle UNK up to UNK nice have wireless router and only had to key in the password into the kindle and they both linked up and downloaded the archived items list selecting volume from the list downloads to book to the kindle am teaching the kids to turn off the wireless the first item on the menu list to save battery power for the light easy use you really can read in direct sunlight no change to the contrast of the printed word the pages turn fast enough not to notice the short delay when reading UNK to the kids can read the last UNK of page turn the page and keep talking without missing beat setting and finding bookmark is two clicks easy problems one of the kindles wouldn turn on after three days of use the amazon tech support page for the kindle UNK UNK user to slide the power button to on and hold it for 15 seconds this caused the kindle to perform hard reboot and it works fine now tried to make it hang again by shutting it on and off several times couldn do it it is satisfying to know that like our cell phone and pcs there are reliable UNK to UNK from an error condition which UNK UNK and UNK to the technical support people conclusion have promised to purchase kindle for each of my children when they learn to read its one of those promises that will be easy to keep there is nothing more important in the lives of my children than for them to become accomplished in reading and writing and the kindle is UNK UNK lit fun filled UNK toward that end thank you amazon believe this product and those like it have already secured place in world history towards providing secure UNK for UNK in this digital age and in the years to come can easily UNK an UNK grade drop and UNK kindle for the UNK of our UNK saving paper and UNK reducing costs now have to find the UNK papers for the kindle 1 just great haven found con yet works fine no matter where am sure ll never read paper book again if had choice 0 bad quality just received the unit two days ago now it is totally dead after trying to setup the wifi connection why amazon sell such bad quality product do they really test it 1 love it better than my expectations received the wifi only version today as gift for my UNK from my husband plugged it in to charge registered it and used my computer to download book by the time walked from my UNK where my computer is to the living room where my kindle was charging the book was already delivered it was less than 20 seconds so far have found hundreds of books can wait to download and have already read part of the first book downloaded the kindle is so light and fits nicely in my hands am so excited to be able to carry thousands of books with me as am the type of reader who reads books per week would highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking of getting an reader this is my 1st one and am thrilled with it it was definitely worth the wait 1 maybe shouldn have changed the color of the case the device is okay after UNK to figure out how to slow down the text to voice left wanting bought this for students and need much larger range of speed slower the voice seems to give more weight to the than the and the was not what expected find myself enjoying it more in the day than at night when not in well lit room and my eyes are tired can read the buttons and at times can read the font in the menus so that can change the size of the font overall felt this was worth it can afford several UNK not yet anyways but wonder how many books could have bought for 139 dollars hmmmm 0 kindle books UNK and switch am UNK my purchase of my kindle more and more everyday not because of any lack of functionality but because of the crazy prices being charged for the kindle version compared to the hardcover version books like the new UNK war is only cent less than the hardcover cant justify the convenience of the kindle for 139 when most books are just few cents to few dollars more for the hardcover paperback versions too bad amazon and the book publishers have turned the kindle into nothing more than the new version of cheap ink UNK printers that UNK you blind with replacement UNK 1 the reader for readers full UNK was satisfied early adopter of the kindle who happily UNK the kindle and was eager to UNK this latest version of the kindle as soon as it became available the kindle key UNK remain the same easy to read ink grayscale screen adjustable type size broad range of reasonably priced books magazine newspapers and blogs to purchase the ability to quickly download these resources directly to the device virtually anywhere and any time but also accessible via your personal computer if you so prefer large storage capacity and the ability to archive at no additional cost all the titles you ve finished reading but might want to access again some time in the future the kindle is truly designed for people who love to read who enjoy UNK with texts stories and ideas more than they love UNK for information UNK and images while the ipad has certain features color screen multiple apps video color images that likely appeal to people who consume UNK magazines it is still basically computer cumbersome to carry tiring to hold difficult to read in sunlight and prone to causing eye strain with UNK use and expensive this review is primarily UNK to owners of the kindle and who are UNK UNK to the latest version my recommendation is go for it moving your library to the new device is breeze physical improvements the latest kindle is smaller and lighter but the screen is the same size it easier to hold also the device like the kindle has rubber backing so it won slip off you lap the navigation controls are more like those on tv remote and easy to use the page forward and backward buttons one of each on both sides of the device so as not to favor right handed folks over their UNK UNK are thinner and silent still getting used to these based on the way hold the device when reading would rather the forward button were on top because that where my thumb naturally falls what would be ideal would be to be able to program these buttons from the settings screen based on personal preferences would also prefer it if the power cord attached from the top or right side of the kindle rather than from the bottom the problem being that if you are reading while the device is recharging the cord tends to get caught in your UNK readability the background is less gray making the display more UNK and easier to read than on the kindle or this is noticeable improvement and amazon is right to play this up wifi in general accessing wifi networks is very easy for my home simply had to enter my network password first time only for starbucks it found the store network and allowed me access without requiring password but be warned once you re connected the web experience on the new kindle will UNK most users while you can click on the UNK in blogs and access websites you can do everything at the website you can do on your pc and depending on how the website is set up you may not be able to access all the tabs and pages within the site but accessing wikipedia is easy also was also able to read my email on so it has its uses wifi vs g3 wifi opted to have both g3 and wifi because felt the addition of g3 would give me more coverage didn want to have to worry about finding hot spot shopping experience really like the ability to download purchases directly to my device it nice for instance to read review of book in the times and then be able to go to the kindle store and purchase the book immediately as opposed to writing yourself UNK and sticking it to your computer screen to purchase the next time you re on line if you afraid of making too many bad impulse purchases you can always download free sample of the book and make your purchase decision after finishing the sample couple observations about the difference between shopping at the kindle store from your device vs shopping at amazon com from your computer on the kindle you don have the option to look inside the book the description of the book is only as good as the publisher decided to make it because you won have the option of reading the table of contents or the back cover kindle search window is less UNK than the one on amazon website type in UNK UNK and it does not offer did you mean UNK UNK though did get UNK UNK titles when UNK in UNK UNK but not when UNK UNK UNK managing your library the more titles you UNK the more you are going to want to group them into UNK collections this is extremely easy to do and because archived items are so easy to re import you can reduce the number of titles on your home screen even further looking forward to seeing what the next upgrade of the kindle will offer UNK buttons more robust web features UNK pricing offering good prices to people who want to buy the hardcover and ebook at the same time just hope they stick with the easy on the eyes gray screen 1 the best kindle ever it is indeed the best kindle ever bought and got all versions of the kindle but the kindle way surpasses my expectations it is so light to hold for reading for long period of time as well as light to carry even when it is attached to the amazon kindle cover it is compact so it UNK space in my handbag and with wifi 3g need say more it is the UNK reader companion thanks amazon com 1 kindle in south africa received it on friday afternoon and was simply blown away who would have thought from the second you open the box take it out and switch it on it just works it was already setup to my amazon account and it started automatically downloading the books had ordered the week before no fuss no funny account settings or wireless options nothing it just worked 1 the kindle have been waiting for have had kindle pretty much since the day the first one came out loved the device but it was something only true early adopter could love the page refresh and odd controls made for device that loved very much but had hard time recommending to friend the kindle changes all of that the device is small and light and just joy to use the new screen refreshes so fast that it might actually be faster than turning page in regular book the screen is bright and easy to read it almost UNK when the light hits it just right amazon has updated the web browser and it also is now much better although will UNK you that it still has issues such as the opening multiple windows issue that can come up lot if you try to click link on sites like twitter amazon has also made it much easier to send documents to your kindle for free by using the new built in wifi this truly is the kindle was waiting for the price is now low enough that can think of good reason not to pick it up 0 not happy with security was hoping to let my young son use this but don like the fact that if it turned on books can be purchased doesn seem to be way to limit content as UNK say no thanks amazon 1 not your mother kindle recently shopped for reader to take on three week holiday to europe because had trouble with whispernet on my 1st generation kindle didn seriously consider the new version looked at the nook but ended up buying the sony despite its expensive price tag because it appeared user friendly the downloads would go to my computer so no worries there and it had touch controls so it should feel more like real book ve had to contact sony tech help twice now because the library program really doesn interface with my windows os the webpage says that it does and UNK downloading is exercise in UNK when the target library can be located in addition the selection at the sony store is UNK and UNK on genres that usually don read my UNK are UNK but quirky the prices are almost always equal to but sometimes UNK the price of the print version pretty UNK to reading now for UNK and storage reasons it was really nice to have choice of 30 books when was on holiday but to only carry the weight of one so decided to give the new kindle try telling myself could return it if found downloading too frustrating ve had no problems at all love the size and look of the kindle it very user friendly downloading has been trouble free love the anti glare screen really enjoy the UNK of screensavers look forward to being surprised when my device goes into sleep mode of course the big plus with amazon reader has always been the huge selection very few books for which ve searched have not been available for kindle usually the book is too new or the publisher has said no telling me the title is either coming soon or that amazon has at least tried to get it ve even been able to subscribe to several UNK UNK and foreign UNK journals the prices are usually far below the print version considering the volume of reading do this baby should pay for itself very quickly had to write this review and say well done amazon hey maybe can sell my used sony reader in amazon UNK 1 love love love it had owned the kindle since it release UNK it ve always been an avid reader but with the kindle started reading so much more jumped on the bandwagon and pre ordered the kindle truly love it the biggest advantage for me over the kindle is the screen contrast huge difference the contrast is amazing and each time pick it up to read can hardly believe it like the new button placement the changed page turn buttons and getting rid of the joy stick these didn take me long to get used to at all also really enjoying the wifi option the 3g where live was little sluggish and an average book download with my kindle was probably minutes which by the way didn bother me in the least with wifi at home it takes 15 30 seconds wow so far really love my kindle and believe that will enjoy it as much as did my kindle have had no real problems with it and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read update december 26 2010 continue to love my k3 and my star rating remains UNK just wanted to add that had rebooting problem with my k3 and had to exchange it it was painless btw kindle support was very easy to work with got my second k3 and the rebooting problem continued by this time was becoming frustrated the simple fix for me was removing it from the amazon non lit kindle case since getting rid of that UNK case haven had one reboot just fyi for anyone having rebooting issues 1 kindle enjoy reading on it and picking up books electronically it has more features than will ever use 1 kindle do really like my new kindle it is easy to read and nice size to carry love all the books that UNK has for the kindle to download the prices are good too they are not to high 0 too complicated have kindle and kindle and love both of them it is easy to put books on them and read book almost every days the new kindle is hard to understand and getting books is much more complicated bought one and sent it back 1 one of the greatest UNK ever have been looking at the kindle since it first came out finally got one week ago and it works even better than expected the reading experience is extremely good and way better than expected forgot that am reading on an electronic device it looks just like book however it is much easier to hold than regular book if your are remotely thinking about getting the kindle do it is wonderful plus there are plenty of free books to read 1 best book device on the market for now this is not an ipad nor is the ipad kindle updated oct 20 UNK 11 UNK 26 2011 combination of product and price make it perhaps the book device on the market just don UNK it with the ipad rest of UNK word review is first impressions and more updated oct 20 UNK 11 and UNK 26 2011 comparison with of ibooks ipad kindle apps had never used an book reader before not even borrowed one my UNK encounter had been in an airplane seeing passenger UNK with an book reader most likely the kindle or perhaps the barnes noble nook reader as walked up the UNK to my seat so there was lot to see and take in when got my kindle device kindle wireless reading device wi fi display graphite latest generation first impressions the device is small and feels very light in your hands UNK might be one word to describe it though this is not to suggest that it is flimsy it feels well built and sturdy this is important because you do not want to feel that the UNK bargain bottom price of 139 means the device is cheap or that build quality has been compromised to meet that price whether or not the device is actually going to last is quite another thing but first impressions are first impressions the page buttons two on either side of the kindle are easy enough to operate and silent no UNK click to UNK in the room every time you flip digital page there is small keyboard at the bottom the keys are UNK and tiny but enough spaced apart that typing is easy enough but requires little practice there is micro usb slot at the bottom of the kindle that you can use to connect to your computer the other end of the cable that ships with the kindle allows you to plug the device into the computer for charging or for transferring content the other end also connects into power adapter that you can plug into your wall UNK to charge the kindle neat also present is slot for the headphones to listen to book or to music and power sleep wake slider that also serves as battery level indicator UNK when running and green when fully charged ink if you have never seen ink on device before then be prepared to be surprised why because it does really feel like printed paper almost the words almost feel printed on semi glossy paper they are that crystal clear and sharp you are almost tempted to UNK at the words to see if they will peel off don you don want to be UNK up the display leave that bit to the dog or the kids or that accidental coffee UNK the ink display also means that there is no glare you don have to adjust the device to avoid the glare of sunlight or even the room light if the room is well lit then the display appears bright not UNK out if the light is low then you feel the need to turn up the light this is not backlit display so it has to rely on external light to make the text visible which also means less strain on the eyes that has to be good thing but one UNK of the ink technology is that when you turn page the whole page turns negative for UNK second before the new page is displayed it disconcerting at first but after few times it sort of UNK into the background and you don notice it when reading book however if you are using the kindle for other purposes such as changing the settings or UNK or adding books to collection you will notice that there is slight flicker as items and text and pictures on the page refresh or change this is likely function of both the ink technology as well as the processor speed on the kindle again not an issue if you are reading but little bothersome otherwise reading on UNK or not over the past several years we have got used to doing fair bit of reading on computer screens on UNK UNK to begin with and for close to 10 years now on lcd UNK these are all backlit and the glare can be irritating and it can be stressful to the eyes yet we all spend 10 hours day or more with our eyes UNK to these screens whether UNK or emailing or creating UNK or documents or UNK or surfing one thing we don still do on computer screens is read read UNK that is we UNK and surf read few lines in an email hit the UNK button type in UNK hit send alt tab to the presentation add few lines of text hit UNK to create new slide add more text alt tab to facebook read the latest UNK click the like button alt tab to email and so on when was the last time you opened pdf of the user guide that you have been meaning to read for the last one year and spent an hour going over the manual from the first page UNK not very often and even when you really really needed to read the guide what do you end up doing print the first two chapters and read the paper copy don you or that 15 page requirements doc print it out read it red line it as needed UNK some points note some questions do you really use that microsoft word review feature well sometimes but not very often reading on the kindle so how is the reading experience on the kindle once you have got over the excitement of having new electronic toy in your hands surprisingly good to begin with read short story the wonderful UNK of oz which is available for free as kindle book the wonderful thing is that got the book on my device in under minute and after fiddling bit with the settings like changing the text size started reading less than an hour later had finished reading the book and now finally understood what UNK really meant when he told UNK it means UNK your seat UNK UNK cause UNK is going UNK UNK the UNK UNK UNK quotes the UNK 10th anniversary edition UNK UNK the UNK and also realized that the reading experience had been very unobtrusive no glare no strain on the eyes this was good what can you read on the kindle simply put there are certain kinds of books that you should not read on the kindle firstly books with color in them color photographs color graphs color not for color UNK but color that is relevant the kindle renders only black white and gray no color secondly books with lots of illustrations true the kindle renders graphics and does neat job of them but the kindle is really not the device for illustrations the kindle vs the ipad the kindle is no tablet computing device it no ipad it cannot and should not UNK to be an ipad it does not either which is good the ipad is not kindle either you can get the kindle reader for the ipad but the ipad is not really specialized reading device it fabulous for hundred other things and if one of those hundred things that you do on the ipad is also reading then fine no issues you will get by but if you require specialized reading device then go for the kindle if you want your kindle to be also your web browsing device then it not going to work out even though the kindle contains webkit browser it best avoided the flicker that described above is going to render browsing pretty much UNK task and yes you will miss the swipe the UNK the UNK the double UNK on the kindle you may want these UNK on the kindle but you probably do not need them do you own your books the kindle features drm digital rights management which means that the books are in proprietary format on the kindle when you purchase book for the kindle it comes with restrictions you cannot share that book with others ten years from now you are reasonably sure to still have that first edition harry potter hardcover but there is no guarantee that you will still have that book on your kindle of course one could UNK that firstly your paper book is going to UNK with age it is going to get dog UNK it is going to UNK with time none of which is going to happen to your digital book which is going to be as new and as crisp on its UNK reading as the first secondly amazon is more likely to be in business ten years from now than some of its competitors so there is little reason to believe that amazon would go and do something silly to hurt its image and customers on the other hand the whole concept of drm goes against what printed books have UNK for for UNK book can be lent to friends loaned by library UNK all without restrictions and without fear of an UNK UNK big brother looking over your shoulder maybe amazon wants to sell digital books without drm and the publishers are the UNK in the UNK or maybe not it doesn really matter in the end the end is still the same you buy the book but you never really own the book summary in summary the kindle is perhaps the most perfect book reader on the market today however five years from now whether it will survive as this UNK dedicated book reader is UNK also five years from now the book reader itself will likely look very different from the kindle of 2010 it may have color it may have zero transition UNK it may not have drm the combination of the device and the price make it in my opinion very very good product from amazon 10 update oct 20 2010 task usability for certain UNK there are usability UNK with the kindle if you have several items in your home screen and you want to move them to different folders you have to do it one at time this means scroll down to highlight book click the right button on the navigator button select add to collection and press enter scroll down to the collection press enter press the back button press the back button again and do this for every single item you want to move to folder you cannot manage your kindle items from the kindle app for windows which is too bad since these UNK would be much easier done on computer you miss UNK you may want to categorize book based on several UNK for example may want to mark book as sample and fiction at the same time with UNK UNK for organizing content you are stuck reading experience the reading experience after more than month and several hundred pages or is it locations will UNK the reading experience is invisible the kindle UNK into the background it the UNK word and you 11 update UNK 11 2010 11 kindle app for the ipad vs ibooks on the ipad little to choose between kindle app and ibooks on the ipad as far as interface is concerned both allow you to flip through pages using the tap or swipe UNK both have menus that disappear as you read but UNK at tap both allow you to place UNK UNK bookmarks both have UNK that you can use to jump to any place in the book both allow you to change the font size and the brightness of the display however when it comes to font size adjustment you can select from list of font sizes on the kindle app on ibooks you basically tap the larger font icon to UNK increase the font size and the smaller font icon to reduce the size works but not as intuitive ibooks has beautiful bookshelf UNK as its library interface every book you add to your library is placed on this virtual bookshelf looks very nice you miss this on the physical kindle 11 kindle device vs ibooks and ipad the ipad is so gorgeous device it allows you to do so many things with it that suspect others like did fiddling and getting distracted with the device than actual reading which may well take UNK the UNK to multi task when reading on the ipad is simply be too great the kindle device lets you read the ipad is more suited to surfing miss touch UNK on the kindle would like to use my finger to tap on specific location on the page to start highlighting it or to mark an annotation etc the navigation button is not as convenient page flipping and reading the ipad is most certainly heavier than the kindle you absolutely cannot expect to read book by holding the ipad in your hand for any length of time you cannot hold the ipad in one hand and maneuver your fingers to flip or swipe to the next page just won work the weight of the ipad and the UNK of the glass screen will cause the device to slip through and UNK to the floor UNK ipad with the kindle holding it in one hand and flipping to the next or previous page is very very easy because the kindle is light enough for you to do this and secondly because the next and back buttons are very conveniently placed close to where you hand and fingers would be when reading and thirdly because the matte finish of the device means it won suddenly slide and slip from your grip reading strain the ink technology on the kindle makes for very very stress free reading experience on your eyes backlit UNK are just not that good for reading that we still spend 10 hours day in front of such screens is quite another thing in summary for reading books the kindle wins hands down over the ipad the kindle does the best job when it comes to reading for other purposes even for browsing and buying books or social networking etc the ipad beats the kindle every single time update UNK 26 2011 some likes and UNK after almost months of usage likes reading books is really joy you can read for hours without feeling the strain have read on the kindle app on the ipod touch ipad ibooks on the ipad and in every single case the reading experience on the physical kindle UNK these apps lightweight big plus here you can read holding the kindle in one hand without feeling the strain UNK the absence of good ui to manage your library on the kindle if you download and have 100 books or more on your kindle and want to UNK and tag them the kindle software sucks it really offers no usable way to do so imagine you download jane UNK works and want to place them into three collections fiction classics and jane UNK you will likely give up the task in frustration before UNK this is huge drawback UNK no sub UNK sub collections the kindle sometimes takes as long as 10 seconds when you highlight section and press enter to save it not always but sometimes and it is UNK absence of color for certain types of books the grayscale photos simply don work no support for specific fonts no matter what the font face of the original paper edition the kindle renders it in UNK font UNK like UNK sans UNK courier etc which takes away from those things that gives books some of their UNK no easy way to navigate within the book say you want to flip ahead 50 pages or 150 locations the absence of touch slider hurts you have to go through the menu and use go to touch interface in some cases touch interface would help it will likely appear in the kindle UNK or UNK but that cold comfort for current owners 1 kindel wireless ink reader just got my kindle am loving it everything is just click away which making it easy to get books and other things you want am looking UNK to playing with the other features such as audio book once my schedule slows down the only bad thing would say about it that you can also easily click your self to wrong page by accident and then have to figure out how to get back to your spot if you did not bookmark it 1 complete library on small screen have now had the kindle for about six weeks and have found it to be the answer to an UNK readers UNK have been downloading and reading about three books week since got it in addition to access to very large selection of books find that can read somewhat more UNK due to the short lines and large print thank you amazon 1 wow just wow this is my first kindle purchase and must say this is just amazing tested this out for one month to see if wanted to keep it and the UNK is yes took it with me on few business trips and read it at several airports and on the plane this device is head turner for sure received many UNK about the kindle and many asked if they could hold it because they couldn believe how thin and compact it was pros the new digital ink is very very sharp and it makes everything very easy to read and UNK pleasing the size of this new kindle is just perfect as well as the charcoal color that chose the page turning is not as slow as thought it be and it works quite well the button layout on the bottom and the UNK back for page turning is perfect love being able to send documents to it via wifi 3g and read it on the go whisper sync is awesome cons can think of many except for the fact that after reading around books in the first 30 days each about 400 pages if it were real novel the UNK click button on the right side is starting to be little loose in the sense where its not as stiff with the click feel some of the sub menu can be little tedious to click through since you can really scroll through it the center enter button can be hard to push in the sense that usually end up pushing the down button lot but maybe that just me wishes for future UNK read other books purchased from other UNK or drm free ability to put my own screen saver pictures 1 great ereader with few control problems ebooks too pricey let me first say that this is the best ereader on the market it does what it does extremely well couple of minor UNK keep it from being great though and the cost of ebooks is major UNK pros hardware thin light UNK than previous models reading makes it relatively easy to buy organize and read your book collection wifi only model is all that need so the lower priced version was good option for me battery life is great cons page turn buttons the page turn buttons on the sides can be frustrating they are literally right in the middle of each side where most people would pick the device up at first it takes major counter intuitive adjustment to get to the point where you grasp it along the bottom or top edges so as to not turn pages accidentally tend to hold books along the top anyway with my hand on the UNK and fingers UNK over the top holding the pages open for paperbacks with the kindle cover still do that so having page turn buttons along the top edge would be much more convenient still this is not deal breaker of more concern is the issue with the cover UNK amazon continues to place the cover attachment UNK only on the left side of the device this means that most covers only allow the kindle to attach on the right side which makes little sense over 90 of the world UNK is right handed so it would make much more sense to have the kindle attach on the left side and put pad of paper on the right side this would prevent anyone that wishes to write notes from having to reach across the front of the device to do so the kindle will never be taken seriously as an educational device tool until they fix this software this software has some big problems it not nearly as UNK as it should be for as long as these devices have been around for example the inability to password protect individual folders is huge and obvious gap in the software my kids can use my kindle if they want but have some books that have language UNK or adult UNK that don want them to be able to access password protecting the entire device doesn really help also the process of adding books to folders collections is tedious and time consuming the sort options are also lacking for UNK you can categorize folders by collection which displays collections first then individual books or default which displays books first then collections or by most recent which displays the folder containing your most recently read book first but there is no way to sort by collection name would prefer to sort by collection in alphabetical order of the collection name no go strange cost of ebooks there is absolutely no reason for the higher costs of ebooks digital versions of books should be drastically less expensive than their printed counterparts as they have significantly reduced production cost amazon says that the publishers set the price but they have more UNK over book pricing than they want customers to think regardless of who sets the prices they are too high and both amazon and the publishers will lose customers in the end publishers think they re seeing fast way to UNK some of the money they ve lost recently due to their own inability to keep up with changing market and these higher prices prove that they just don get the way the market is headed but their UNK will just end up driving customers away amazon learned that lesson with the kindle itself as sales sky UNK after you lowered the price is it better to sell 500 000 copies of book at 99 or 100 000 at 12 99 it costs the publisher far less to produce the digital version yet the prices of are only slightly lower than the printed counterparts in most cases and in some cases the digital version actually costs more that not to mention UNK like the for deal on many paperbacks why doesn amazon do UNK like that for ebooks think they see UNK increase in sales what will end up happening is that folks will end up buying used print copies of the books they want and neither amazon nor the publisher gets any money that what already doing UNK is going to drive their customers away lending and gifting of ebooks amazon must UNK their system to allow books to be lent and or gifted to others or even sold with printed books can give them away when done with them and if they are in good shape even re sell them not possible with digital book so again it will be hard to justify digital versions until they are drastically less expensive overall the kindle is the best ereader on the market but it far from perfect the hardware limitations are frustrating but those are the most UNK of the issues with the kindle and while they can address many of the issues with software updates they haven done so yet the biggest issue is the pricing of ebooks and until they get that UNK out new customers will be slower in coming and they will even lose existing customers especially those who began under the UNK of 99 ebooks only to see costs for new ebooks UNK to 12 99 and higher in some cases think even 99 is drastically too high more than that is UNK and UNK pure and simple think reasonable price point for ebooks is the paperback price point it far higher than the actual production costs thus allowing the publishers and UNK to make money but not so high that customers walk away add the inability to re sell gift or lend the books UNK and you have serious problems that will UNK amazon until they address them 1 amazing device unexpected expense first time kindle owner ve had it less than week and have already read two books never read that quickly before have not had any problems with it at all it works exactly as intended my only problem is that now that reading so much ve realized how uncomfortable my chair is didn expect this but think going to have to buy comfortable reading chair 0 one star is one too many by considerable margin this is the worst designed and executed device have used in UNK it hard to know where to start small buttons UNK grey screen simply awful ergonomics cheap look and feel irritating flashes between pages like with an old UNK camera lose track of the number of times have hit the page change button when picking up the device by UNK it the home button is in the worst position and easily UNK accidentally the keyboard is almost unusable newspaper subscriptions are joke heavily UNK and poorly presented not to mention ridiculously overpriced read with it flat on desk and pressing page change button causes the whole thing to move as the click design and key shape are simply wrong go to an UNK footnote in book and you are taken to the back of the book which now becomes your furthest page read across all your devices and only amazon can reset that finish book and try re reading it and the furthest page read problem happens again the battery indicator is near useless if you are remote from power you get three minute warning that you are low on battery then the kindle dies how difficult can it be to get this simple feature right the battery life with 3g is very poor and the marketing hype is simply false three to four days and you want 3g wireless on so that you can sync with your other device even when not in wifi range bought this for one reason only to read in bright sun where the ipad is useless well the kindle is useless for anything else it cheap for reason unless your UNK desire is to read in bright direct sun and you have 140 UNK to burn save your money on this ergonomic UNK and buy big beach UNK for your ipad or get an ipad for few dollars more my sense is that whoever designed this device never tried using it recognize that this is not direct competitor to the ipad but design wise it UNK to the ipad UNK UNK 1 great device still some bugs to UNK out purchased the new kindle k3 in september 2010 an avid reader and after reviewing similar devices went with the k3 as my first reader the good all good screen resolution ease of turning pages UNK of the menus it lightweight and feels like paperback selection online the free inventory if you are into reading this device is great the bad UNK the battery life is not as good as promised ve read two full books with wireless turned off and seems the battery indicator is half used up guess ll keep the charge cord nearby the five way controller seems bit UNK amazon take look at smart phone there must be some way to integrate better navigation the down arrow and the back key are pretty close together will take some getting use to numbers on the keypad you need to UNK the sym window and then use the five way arrow controller to get to the try UNK 26 UNK wep key times using the sym pad and you ll know what mean thankfully once you have wireless set up you don need to do this but it seems like UNK improvement text to speech you re kidding right the robotic nature of this capability makes it basically unusable does kindle k3 allow the download of books on cd be willing to pay little extra for the download if it came with professional reader UNK the ugly just can seem to figure out how to connect to 2nd wifi network on my first attempt to connect to my wireless internet router it asked me repeatedly for the wep password and after giving up after tries lo and behold was connected however second attempts to connect to other wifi devices have been UNK each time after typing in the necessary password am UNK further to go online and sign in on the device which leads me to customer support not so great did send question in via the mail feedback link and received an mail in return that said good question but can help you call our support line which for me is long distance and then the mail UNK me with did resolve your issue amazon knows it an online company right overall really pleased with the k3 have not experienced the freezing UNK to in other notes and that would be big turn off 1 reader war is over already had purchased kindle and loved it it had few UNK but very few so when the new kindle was released debated as to whether or not to purchase it after all my kindle was still UNK so decided instead of purchasing the new kindle get nook instead as already owned kindle firstly dont want to review the nook here not that barnes and nobles will let you review their item on their website not surprising considering there were certain aspects that UNK me to the nook epub was one of them the bottom color screen another but with all the complaining on here about the kindle which just has been released you think that the nook that has been released for year would more or less have all its problems sorted out not at all it froze it removed the contents entirely and eventually lost its serial number which UNK it to the website which means its paper weight unable to connect had called customer service several times they were just plain awful they didn have time to talk to me and you could hear them UNK in the background which amazed me so after the calls were finished said to myself never again are they getting single penny and returned it after week of purchase know some people on here are having some difficulty but from my own prior experience with amazon customer service they are the best you ll get they are amazing and will always help quite happily rather than barnes and nobles tech UNK who treated me like an UNK bug trust me my kindle works perfectly if you do have problem amazon will help and you can be rest assured that if your kindle is buggy they will replace it in UNK plus their technical team will constantly give updates that will fix any issues unlike the nook which after year still has problems guarantee you the kindle will fix their issues fast the new kindle is great the contrast is really noticeable the size is just right for your hand slightly larger than paperback and weighs probably less than one the navigation thumb tool is much better than the kindle version always previously had problems with accidentally UNK my book because of my thumb would UNK the small thumb stick in the wrong direction no so now its much easier now the general structure of the kindle does seem as previously noted elsewhere as more delicate do not know the overall lasting ability of this item as compared to the previous model as it feels cheaper made the previous kindle had more solid construction yet for all this love the kindle more the weight the size more memory the color the contrast all huge UNK for me personally and even if it does die after year will consider it decent purchase and get another one such is my love for the new kindle UNK also purchased the kindle cover with built in light and its amazing great piece of engineering the wifi set up was simple the kindle came already set up with my email address and account info switching my publications from my old kindle to my new kindle was breeze if you travel lot recommend the 3g if you dont and have wifi access in your house then UNK no reason why you should spend an extra 50 dollars besides most of the time when you are home and have wifi your kindle will use this rather than 3g as its faster anyway so to sum up love my kindle my favorite toy ever wanted to like the nook but their customer service was absolutely horrible and it was super buggy amazon believe has won the war on readers at least for me never again buy nook or the nook when it gets released my advice is if your on the fence about the kindle vs nook do yourself favor and go with kindle the nook is the UNK of readers 1 how to hold the k3 since the kindle is not UNK paperback book you may be wondering how to hold it in order to read for your UNK amount of time the page turning buttons are located one third up both sides at the edge of the case the forward button is twice the size of the backward button two handed UNK grip the lower third of k3 primarily with your thumbs with the UNK and fingers folded around the back on both sides you can position your good hand so that its thumb or the UNK is just over forward button you can prop your UNK on your body the chair arms or the table top the k3 is so light that this position can be UNK easily page turn is accomplished with slight button pressure toward the back of the case one handed UNK place the lower corner of the k3 in the palm of your good hand somewhat between thumb and UNK close the hand UNK around the back tilt the palm and k3 slightly so the center of UNK UNK the weight of the k3 in the palm this leaves the thumb very UNK UNK exactly over the forward button only slight UNK pressure clicks the button and UNK the page since the k3 weight is on the palm your hand does not need to grip UNK this position can be held for long reading session to show UNK switch hands and re tilt the k3 1 five stars for usability after got it in the first pre order UNK thought about giving it stars for some technical issues but since the firmware update which now comes pre loaded to the new devices they are all gone leaving me with the best most usable reader hands down every device should be UNK on UNK to its purpose and to the promises of its UNK amazon promised us the ultimate reading device and so they delivered please note that didn own any kindle before this so obviously cannot give reference on the huge improvements over the previous editions the reading experience on the kindle is flawless the device simply disappears after few hours its just you and the story nothing else its so easy and seamless to navigate turn pages with the huge buttons that after having accustomed to the kindle days all paperbacks hardcovers will seem cumbersome UNK and generally frustrating breaking your UNK every time you have to turn page with the enormous built in memory just can see myself reading paperbacks again think it would be pointless writing much more about the reading experience its just as close to actually UNK into your book story as it can get another huge plus for me is the free wireless newspaper delivery you wake up reach for your kindle wake it seconds turn on the wireless seconds usually don use it beyond these morning seconds it syncs and downloads seconds and voila you have your morning paper within 10 seconds easy cheap cheaper than buying it at UNK or subscribing to the print version and UNK friendly additionally you can read your paper on crowded subway in wind rain you don have to think about UNK of all that paper its just much more convenient one thing could and probably should be upgraded is the selection of international newspapers with the global 3g coverage and the kindle UNK ground in so many countries it is simply unacceptable that most american UNK even UNK and english UNK have their own kindle newspapers while most european countries are kept in the dark this will surely change if enough of us make UNK to the kindle cs nonetheless that is hardly the kindle fault reading books and newspapers those are the main functions of the kindle naturally depending on your UNK UNK kindle can be of much more use UNK it as map on my travels some are reading UNK UNK charts and annotations off it the possibilities are simply endless for those in the media comparing the ipad to the kindle they are different devices with different UNK UNK UNK how about comparing car to an UNK the kindle is more suited for reading because of its screen size weight battery life amazon never intended to be more than an reader they even label their browser experimental its in fact not needed at all k3 is not about browsing remember you can always play UNK UNK with anything that UNK UNK the difference is that playing with dedicated device ball its just much more satisfying would like to put special UNK to the fact that the kindle opens the world of written UNK to the less able the UNK UNK can UNK font sizes with ease while the blind may turn on the experimental yet fully functional text to speech feature what could be improved on the kindle certainly no device is perfect yet the kindle just does so great what it does that all improvements seem UNK finally nothing needs actual fixing after the update it works stable and fast the screen could be even bigger or more precisely UNK there still space above and below the keys non english characters should be implemented on the keyboard even as symbols because now searching in non english books is great pain some kind of UNK or free office UNK could come handy as well ve talked about the newspaper availability but that is constantly improved just as the books selection the ability to use our own true type font and custom screensavers could be implemented as closing thought it might be hardly surprising that recommend the kindle to those who want to read on it you won be disappointed 1 very please so far this is my first reader and did quite bit of research and discussion before UNK it down to the kindle so far very happy with my purchase travel lot for work so this is great space saver for carry on and the ability to buy on the fly has been wonderful bought the 3g wifi screen version and have been using it since friday sept 10th so while ve read through part of the user guide still learning about some of the options ordered screen protector and one of the leather cases with the built in reading light haven had to use the light yet so can comment on the quality or how it may impact battery life yet thought it was very user friendly out of the box and charged quickly like the number of font size options and noticed the read to me option too as my UNK has macular degeneration and UNK reading think someone would need to set it up for her if she were to use it as the buttons are small and navigating the menu might be difficult for her this could however be good options for those with younger kids it light weight and was comfortable holding it for long periods of time it was quick to download books and while wasn sure how the smaller screen size would be for reading haven noticed it making that much of difference the screen reads truly like ink and paper the pages turn just as quick as you would with paper and like the progress bar at the bottom the dictionary options are great and also like how you can clip quotes and highlight sections to refer back to later did have one day where the wifi didn want to stay connected but think it had more to do with my location hotel room in rural area than the kindle itself overall ve had no issues with it so far will post an update after get back from my next round of travels in few weeks update 11 10 so it few months later and still thrilled with my kindle ve downloaded couple of software updates which have improved the connectivity to the internet still don use it as primary internet UNK but it definitely better to navigate now ve used the light few times it works okay but can be very annoying to those sitting around you as it UNK off the UNK bit didn seem to have much impact to the battery life speaking of the battery life it has long life if you don have the wireless turned on all the time only turn it on when UNK downloading stuff ve only charged it once so far since the initial set up 1 absolutely love it the kindle is my first ereader and cannot say enough good things about it have already recommended it to my friends and family the screen looks absolutely beautiful and feels just like reading an actual book it is also small and lightweight enough to carry around anywhere and read for extended periods of time with ease anyone who is an avid reader should purchase this product 1 great book reader kindle is UNK great book reader completely satisfied with its basic features and was glad to find some more useful pieces of functionality such as browser and text to UNK reader 1 received my kindle today ordered my kindle on august 4th was well aware that it was back ordered and didn mind to wait so received shipping message from amazon yesterday and received it today guess the waiting time for new kindle is about month right now haven used it yet just wanted to let people know how long they might have to wait 1 love my kindle the best purchase ve made in very very long time absolutely love it 1 an UNK with an almost flawless kindle experience feature wise this thing is excellent want to keep it very short in the context of my reviews so won list or talk about usual features but things that have surprised me so far the kindle truly is lost in your hands while you read the design has something that simply helps you get totally UNK in the author world and it the little things that help for example usually changing pages in physical book is more of problem than we imagine we are used to it but it really is weird if you think about it with the kindle this becomes obvious what am trying to get across is that changing pages with just one press of button is way more convenient that one might at first think especially considering how well placed the button is and also how fast the page turns having screen and not having paper is also one of those surprising positive UNK as you read it is obvious that you start to get tired but find that increasing the size of the letter by one step gives me an extra life in UNK to UNK usually end up increasing three or four times the size of the letter before stopping you might ask UNK why don you start with bigger size then well find that at first start reading really fast and having big fonts UNK faster page turning for obvious reasons which is something always want to avoid but as progress in my reading start to get slower here sacrifice the UNK of page turns in favor for speed and UNK new reading life trust me it is bigger deal than one might think and the advantages of the screen do not end there there is something bulky about paperbacks and books in general that one gets used to but the kindle so slim even in my lighted cover is much more comfortable this adds to the reading UNK it is UNK to say how paper like the screen is trust me you will be surprised no matter how UNK you are for tech am one finally find that the mp3 player helps lot live in city were construction is everyone hobby and UNK is part of everyday life live in UNK the major just doesn seem to get tired of making UNK to the UNK around here downloaded 90 minute white noise rain UNK mp3 that goes long way to help the noise that this city does there is probably loads of more design decisions that help the reader more these are the ones that are kinda obvious to me but is there any UNK of the UNK well just to give you taste of things started reading ridiculously big book about month ago in three weeks read 50 of the book have had the kindle for one week and today officially finished the book that is an UNK in reading speed of factor of three note that maybe the kindle has me all UNK and it could have UNK as UNK like device for UNK more reading if it is who cares maybe that is even one of the design decisions the thing is that it is indeed marvelous device final note do not think the kindle is ideal for reading technical material not the screen version at least as computer UNK read lot of code in my books in the kindle versions UNK books make no font UNK between regular writing and code something that is extremely bad in most instances reading pdfs is not that bad but is not wonderland either letters can get small even in pan mode but have never encountered something as bad as to say it is unreadable UNK maybe knowing the fact that am an UNK using the kindle in UNK can be helpful also do note that 3g is available all over UNK and UNK have had no problems using wifi but then again am computer UNK these things come easy to me choosing to ship the kindle directly to UNK can be tricky and expensive dhl charged me 70 total to get my kindle and my lighted cover out of UNK plus another 40 for shipping UNK you heard that right be prepared to pay UNK of the price of the kindle if you live in UNK as amazon gives no other UNK alternative that not dhl 1 got it for my 65 mom short and sweet my mom is older likes to read and is not the best with new tech after 30 minutes with me showing her the UNK she was off and reading one of the five books we downloaded for her must buy 1 fantastic way to read weight and feel it no surprise that the kindle is very light device you can easily and comfortably hold it with either hands and be able to turn pages with ease if you re new to the book reader world like am it might take little while minutes to get use to holding the device but once you do you ll never have to think about it again the kindle also feels very good once in your hands and that very important because with long reading sessions you don want to have to put the device down simply because it feels awkward after long use the kindle has sort of matte and rubbery feel to it this provides for good grip and you ll rarely have to adjust hand position once you start reading unless you need to adjust some options or at rare times when you need to turn to previous page physical navigation the physical navigation system for the kindle although works well could have been little better in my opinion lot of users complain that they would accidentally press the enter button when navigating via the directional buttons and although have UNK fingers it happened to me once or twice as well my advice if this is repeatedly happening to you is rather than pressing the directional buttons with the flat of your thumb use your thumb fingernail instead doing so allows me to have better feel for the directional buttons and therefore less prone to hitting the enter button as well the letters themselves are actually UNK sized and spaced out screen display the reading display for the kindle is just phenomenal you can read all about it in dozens of other reviews and UNK but you really have to actually see the device in action to appreciate it the screen is very crisp and most importantly the text are really black this makes the text really pop out at you and it gives you the impression that you really are reading from traditional paperback book again it really hard to describe the UNK unless you have seen it with your own eyes no pictures you see online will do the device justice however you have to understand that in order to get the best of the reading display panel you should be reading with the kindle under well lit environment why because the display is not backlit like the iphone or the ipad and therefore the darker or dimmer the reading environment the UNK the display will look for example the lights in my room are pretty dim and so reading at night isn the most ideal situation for me once the sunlight UNK through in the morning or when outside the living room at night under UNK lighting the display screen UNK back to life reading experience what else can say the reading experience on the kindle is superb because of the lack of backlit display can enjoy hours of reading on the kindle without rubbing my eyes or getting eye fatigue as some would call it anytime am reading book can easily access the read settings by pressing the aa key here get to choose from different text sizes no matter how good or bad your eyes are sure the kindle got something for everyone the other options allows me to easily change how the text is displayed to me turning page is tremendously fast believe the kindle has one of the UNK screen refresh rates when compared to the other book reading devices on the market right now many users complain about the brief flash they see when turning page but they have to understand that that what actually makes ink reading device UNK it also one of the reasons why there isn backlit display on the kindle in fact even UNK to say that turning page on the kindle is just as fast sometimes even faster as if you would turn page on real paperback book the major disappointment have here is how the kindle UNK pages rather than your default UNK system the kindle uses what they call locations instead telling you right now it confusing as still not sure what the UNK is experimental features web browser the experimental web browser in the kindle works pretty well however it not perfect and that something many users need to realize browsing the web on such small screen is just not something you would want to do on daily basis unless it for simple UNK UNK one of the biggest problem with using the experimental browser is due to navigation issues because the kindle does not have touch screen you ll need to constantly press the directional buttons to zoom in on parts of web page and to generally move around mp3 player really not sure why this is an experimental feature amazon states that it can only play mp3 files and nothing else but this really shouldn be an issue for the majority of users out there for the most part am satisfied with the sound quality of the new kindle however find it much more pleasant to use headphone to listen to my music instead of using the built in speakers located at the back of the kindle not usually person to request lot of features but one thing that do wish amazon would have included with the mp3 player package is an option to UNK our playlist text to speech UNK UNK is great when you ve actually become tired of reading and would like someone else to take over the load with UNK robotic male or female voice can do the reading for you and you can simply just sit back relax and still be able to enjoy the book however just know that the voice reading the text back to you sounds very robotic in nature you can adjust the speed rate at which the voice reads the text but it still doesn help as it still the same robotic voice it really takes while to get use to and some users such as myself will never ever be able to that is why sure will never use the UNK feature of the kindle if you find yourself enjoying UNK but want more human voice you ll need to look into audio books if could would give this product stars but as it is can only give it out of there can be some minor improvements so hoping future generations of kindle will solve those as of right now the kindle 3rd generation is still great product especially at only 139 for the wi fi edition go get it 1 good upgrade worth the wait just upgraded from the k1 to k3 loved my k1 but the newest features made me decide it was time first will address few comments to those who have never used an reader this is physically comfortable and easy on the eyes you can order book from the kindle you do not need to be anywhere near computer it quick convenient and takes up far less space than the 500 books it can hold now for comparison to my old kindle the new one is considerably smaller making it easier to put into purse or briefcase the contrast is better and it turns pages faster it also has more font sizes including that are very large these along with the text to speech feature could be great for people with UNK limited vision the downside is that the voices sound rather mechanical the buttons are smaller which could be good or bad depending upon the user like the fact that the page turning buttons are smaller so it is harder to turn page by accident am UNK woman with medium sized hands and do not find the buttons too small to work but imagine they might be difficult for big man to use the web browser is handy and not hard to figure out it is not as fast as using my computer of course but wasn expecting it to be that said it is nice to have when am not near my computer the charging cord is smaller which is nice but it doesn have user replaceable battery as the k1 did so it is not perfect but nevertheless joy to use 1 must have reader for any reading level amazon kindle does exactly what the website states ve found the kindle to be an excellent addition to my book collections using the kindle is simple enough however the way the new kindle organizes books while an improvement from previous kindles is still in need of improvement books are organized not by the folders but by collections this is not problem for those who are starting collection of ebooks or have small collection larger collections will take time to sort and organize though the kindle comes with search making it easy to find your book regardless of where it might be the kindle does not come with games however think the experimental web browser and free 3g internet service make up for this the new kindle is easy on the eyes like most ink readers and reads like newspaper as far as contrast goes the weight of the device is light and feels comfortable in either hand give the kindle four out of five stars for it design contrast and easy to use functions while the organization features still need improvement highly recommend and have been doing so to friends and family if you love books and want way to take your library with you pick up kindle you will never put it back down 1 not bad little reader ok for short review on what like about this device it is compact no debate here you can carry lot of books on one kindle battery life is great screen is fabulous even in direct sunlight the device is lightweight it is very comfortable to lie in bed and read from this kindle it is fast have the wifi only model and can receive book in usually less than minute what really would have liked to have is touch screen that is my only point where would give an ipad an advantage but again for only 139 this is great device and am sure amazon will continue to make it better 0 over week yet to be sent ordered the product days ago and it still has not been shipped it was supposed to arrive between days something doesn add up here 1 can read again my eyes are not what they used to be in fact haven read and enjoyed book in long time can not read standard paperback without glasses and cannot enjoy it with glasses can read this kindle without UNK the text without any problem and enjoy it no headache if your eyes are worse than mine you have the option of increasing the text size the contrast is outstanding UNK on buying the amazon lighted cover for it but UNK for couple of reasons for 60 it should be all things to all people and it not for one the light is on the wrong side if you live in the would want to use it in the passenger seat of car without disturbing the driver if you live in europe its correct it should have prop so you can read it hands free at counter or table bought good leather cover some UNK else cheap until somebody figures out how to build better cover as have stated this product is not as good as book it is worlds better somebody should build cover to match 1 so worth it when first heard about the 1st gen kindle was quite interested in getting one saw one that UNK bought and it looked great but the lack of UNK in the home page was the only thing putting me off that and the price was out of my range then heard that this new gen kindle has fixed all that and UNK all the things that had me interested too the new collections means can now UNK my books into collections has meant can now feel free to buy my entire library of favourite authors without cluttering up any one page now own lot of gadgets UNK and am geek by nature so wasn worried about ease of use with this device but was pretty impressed with just how easy it was turned it on and it worked the instructions are right on the home page and are easy to find and read there are no UNK to install no software to configure it just works right out of the box to charge you just plug the usb into any computer UNK not needed it just works in fact had opened it and downloaded my first book in less than minutes not only that but if left on standby it takes about seconds to get back to my book really speedy if UNK have been reading about the slow refresh rate when you turn page can honestly say that did notice it for about minutes after that you don notice it at all it faster and no more inconvenient than turning page haven noticed it at all since find the menu system easy to use and find the text looks incredible for something that might at first UNK look somewhat old fashioned being in UNK but you don miss colour not if like me you are used to reading novels the ability to change the font and size is just perfect can UNK it down or if feeling tired enlarge it again images are shown in UNK with quite decent quality and say this as video UNK and UNK they are smooth UNK free and clear can see that for most images the lack of colour won be an issue unless for example you wanted or needed certain diagrams or charts that rely on colour electrical charts perhaps few of my novels have illustrations and they look great as good as the printed book as far as can tell reading is great on this kind of un backlit surface have UNK UNK computer game system and reading text on the UNK for long periods of time can be hard on the eyes with the kindle can read all night know UNK have told me that there nothing like UNK up in bed with good book to read and that they could never do without the physical book and some years ago might have agreed but ve rather taken to the fact that can now keep my hands under the covers on cold night and in UNK there are plenty of those you don need UNK to turn page just press on the edge of the button and the light weight means no sore arms after reading some of my favourite authors huge four UNK books looking at you UNK UNK now can happily read anywhere without breaking my bag handles on your UNK killed dozen trees needs UNK to carry books heck can carry my entire library dictionary and wikipedia around wherever go yay and the best part book in 10 seconds no more waiting months for postage no more international shipping fees the local bookstores still don have UNK UNK on the shelves finished that last week on my kindle this is awesome and have UNK long enough back to reading UNK wear UNK 0 not all had hoped for only had my kindle 3g week but somewhat disappointed with the content available one of the reasons bought it was that had been told that kindle books would be cheaper than buying books although the kindle books are cheaper than hardcover books in many cases the paperback edition of the book is cheaper than the kindle how is that something just download is more expensive than printed paperback book also not so many free books as had been led to believe haven tried the nook but wonder if barnes and noble selection of free books is any better 1 awesome read at least 15 scientific pdfs week and at 10 20 pages per paper it adds up to lot of paper used so generally read them on my computer reading on my computer all of the time gives me major headaches so far am very happy with my purchase of the kindle bought the graphite 3g model the graphite is great because it UNK the page and makes reading easier at least for me and have found the 3g necessary because the kindle doesn like my router bought this as UNK thinking that if didn like it could return it but definitely will not be sending this back am impressed with the pdf reader it not perfect but it certainly does not cause the UNK amount of eye strain encounter while reading on computer screen also like it because can make notes and highlight like would on regular piece of paper it so easy to find papers because can either look through my notes or do broad search of topics without having to read through several papers finding the one fact need don even bother with the converting service it just UNK up the formatting and UNK the figures the resolution is good enough that pictures show up well albeit black and white but print in grey scale anyways my kindle has not just been used as pdf reader have had it for two days and read through about 30 of novel and downloaded many more like having the ability to download reference books as well as leisure literature and having it all in one device to say the least am amazed by how functional this little machine is and am proud to say am kindle owner 1 yet another glowing review given all the UNK to date from UNK sources there is nothing to add it is simply without UNK in every respect k3 is my fifth reader 1 improvement over kindle really like the kindle so far say it definitely is an improvement over the second generation it runs little faster the screen looks better the battery last longer and so on my only complaint is kind of miss the metal back of kindle it made the device feel substantial UNK expensive now it just plastic all around 1 quick review love it am going to make this review short and sweet love my new kindle purchased the 139 version my purpose for buying an ereader was to get rid of the stacks of new books that would accumulate it easy to use and lightweight my favorite feature is the UNK ve used it for some work related reading ve been doing and can highlight UNK and important information want to save it goes into my clippings folder and can easily access the information as reference personally like the functionality of the kindle better than the nook but think that just personal preference ve been waiting for about year to decide what wanted to purchase and am extremely happy with my choice 1 exceptional the kindle has been the best investment have ever made and must carry it with me at all times love its many features especially its ease of use as well as its almost immediate downloading of books also find that amazon list of kindle books is pretty extensive additionally the customer service on this product is outstanding and one can easily get help when experiencing problem with the unit or have any questions about its use if you are an avid reader do not hesitate to buy this product you will not regret it 1 great device with some bugs this is my first book reader so as far as comparison with older versions or other readers cannot help you however the k3 is great device quite satisfied with the purchase it sturdy yet very light the screen looks like an actual paper page without the drawbacks of too small letters glare is UNK pdfs work UNK and you can find plenty of free ebooks on the internet apart from the ones you can get on amazon you get to have two in built dictionaries oxford english and oxford american english too thought would find only one basic internet browsing works quite well forums and gmail especially as well as the UNK the only flaw is that it tends to freeze quite often 1 kindle ipad don compare UNK UNK got the kindle yesterday it an absolute delight almost stayed UNK the whole night UNK it enjoying the reading experience if you are voracious reader you enjoy the company of books as UNK as UNK boy does his box then this is the device for you light weight small dimensions UNK appeal high contrast intuitive controls make it stand head shoulders above the rest with price to die for the kindle is certainly reader killer UNK won be surprised if the category gets UNK as kindle much the same way UNK for UNK keep hearing lot of comparison between kindle ipad find that extremely annoying it like comparing UNK with UNK almost literally am big fan of everything apple both ipad kindle are revolutionary devices but they are completely different devices to compare them would reflect nothing but UNK ipad is revolutionary way to browse the web watch movies listen to music play games also read books the all important word is also the kindle is all about books books books of course it can do much more than that but the primary function is giving you the best reading experience at great price so ipad kindle can certainly co exist in the hands UNK of the customers at the moment it the kindle which is in my hand UNK me to UNK world 1 stunning this is just an incredibly stunning piece of technology how could love reading even more than did before kindle but do love it thanks amazon for great product now if customer service is as good as everyone says ll be one happy lady 1 just what wanted had ordered and used the kindle briefly this summer until it was stolen in an airport was amazed how much missed the kindle while ordered new one only to find out that the new kindle was coming out bad news was that had to wait another three weeks to get my new kindle good news was that with the much lower price could order two one for me and one for my wife who bought me the original kindle for fathers day anyway once got the new kindle and starting using the unit just for reading was thrilled lighter longer battery life better screen easier to use what could be better well now using the features didn even have chance to use on my first kindle email browser etc while they are not as good as my smart phone or notebook they are great in pinch looked at the ipad but after weighing all of the pros and cons very happy to have the kindle wanted reader have an iphone mac UNK etc didn need the features on the ipad nor the weight cost monthly fees and limited screen use in direct light can use the kindle any time with the case and built in light but could not see the ipad in direct sunlight where use my kindle lot sure all of these products will continue to UNK and UNK into similar products in the future but for now it kindle or nothing 1 everything was hoping for wonderful device was late to order my kindle as was debating between this and the dx so just received it tuesday and it has been my constant companion since happily ve had none of the problems or issues other users have reported am really enjoying the 14 day trial period for magazines and newspaper subscriptions also find it better than expected for reading pdf documents just change the orientation to landscape and choose fit to screen the amount of high quality free and low price reading material available is outstanding am one happy customer and cannot wait to travel somewhere with my kindle 1 the best ink experience out there the kindle is not an ipad if you want UNK device this is certainly not it and even though the the kindle app on the ipad UNK the kindle in couple of ways ui and navigation in particular the kindle still UNK the competition when it comes to the things that really matter with the readers great screen portability price and the biggest content selection its strength is its UNK single UNK this is device strictly for reading long form written works not surfing the web not email not games and because it UNK just one thing reading books it does that thing really well love my ipad but its size weight glass screen and UNK price mean am hesitant to bring it to the pool or fall asleep with it in bed etc as an ereader the ipad has some limitations now that the kindle is 140 dollars its seems to be less competitor to tablet devices like the ipad then low priced UNK to them the only thing that really needs improvement with the device are some of the awkward user interface decisions some settings and switches are UNK too far down under UNK having to use the pad to input numbers is particularly annoying but UNK of your time on the kindle will be spent on the pages of book so these are fairly minor UNK when it comes to getting lost in book the kindle can be beat 1 best decision didn make with the reader choices out there was UNK on which one should purchase the decision was made when my husband bought the kindle wi fi for my birthday am totally in love with my kindle and hubby too the amazon site makes purchasing and downloading books breeze there almost too many book choices but the recommendations makes it easy to locate similar authors also recommend the free game shuffled row 1 easy start up within 15 minutes had downloaded my first book been using it for the past three days love it 1 awesome device have had my kindle now for over month and it is one of the best investments have ever made it has simplified my life and made reading such pleasure also bought the cover with the little light and highly recommend that if you are getting the kindle love that can made the font larger it is wonderful to read at the beach or by the pool and also in bed at night much easier to hold than book and no pages to constantly be flipping the light works wonderfully and provides plenty of light even in dark room so my husband can sleep and can UNK read no noisy flipping of pages am planning on getting my daughter one for christmas what terrific present don UNK UNK amazon for providing us such wonderful device 1 better than expected my first reader and love it so easy to read books on and travel with cant imagine not having it and only had it days to me it is game changer like going to cell phone dont have to have it but it makes life alot easier and better 1 nice improvements had the second gen kindle and used it for over two years the new version had clearer text and runs much faster but the on off switch should have been left on the top 1 truly delight it is delight purchasing and reading books on kindle upgraded from k2 to the latest generation latest kindle is awesome 1 love it the kindle is the first ereader ve ever owned ve only had it for few days but have found it easy to use and thrilled to know will no longer be cluttering up shelves with books like being able to preview book before purchase it also purchased the kindle case with the pull out light this enables me to read in poor lighting like little child with new toy would recommend the kindle to all my avid reader friends 1 little expensive but great new way to read love this expensive new toy my daughter just let me know that she will be borrowing it for the whole run of UNK she better get her own lol only kidding but seriously this is fascinating and easy to use have downloaded few books that wanted to get and now have the UNK to get them as soon as want this is just fabulous thanks amazon for great product 1 excellent first reader this is my first reader so have no experience with any other reader to compare to as some of the other reviewers have done have had it for about week now overall have been quite pleased with the k3 and would recommend it to others with few UNK positives have found myself reading much more than have since UNK my english degree reading on the k3 is just more fun than reading paper book ability to adjust font size and line spacing is huge plus page turns are much faster than with paper book compact size and light weight makes it more comfortable to hold than paper book and one handed or hands free reading is easy do not find the lettering on the keys to be difficult to see as others have complained about it white lettering on dark grey background the screen savers are very pretty and enjoy the portraits of UNK authors as well as the other random pictures wi fi was quick and easy to set up and have had no troubles connecting or staying connected the dictionary feature is wonderful and find myself using it constantly before was too lazy to put down my paper book reach for dictionary find the word and then go back to my book now can instantly have definition for almost any word also surprised at how many UNK words the kindle dictionary has in its UNK since read lot of classic literature understanding UNK words is important to me negatives drm this has been said before but should be repeated you don own the books you purchase you only UNK them for this reason will never put an book on my k3 that have to pay for am exclusively using it for free public domain texts thankfully project gutenberg has an extensive selection of free books did experience freeze on the second day of use while transferring books to the k3 via usb this was on full battery charge and after installing the recent firmware update however this was quickly resolved with hard reset and have had no problems since lack of font selection don care for the UNK font and would like to be able to choose from several additional fonts short life UNK of electronics in general means that after couple of years will probably not have functioning k3 anymore based on other reviews ve read of the k1 and k2 it seems that the expected life UNK of kindle is around years paper books are more UNK and never become UNK worry about the damage readers are doing to the environment since they are made from UNK materials and not UNK UNK like paper books are if you intend to use the kindle to buy lot of recently published books do not recommend it only because of the drm issue additionally books are UNK expensive at the moment compared to the cost of paper books if you like to read mostly classic literature as do the k3 has very wide selection of free books to choose from that have no drm so you never have to worry about losing access to these texts still intend to continue to buy paper books when want UNK copy of text or when don feel like UNK an book copy of recently published text all in all it works great and is well worth the money for the 139 version hopefully publishers will soon get over their UNK on UNK drm to everything UNK UNK have had the kindle for about months now and have had no problems at all with freezing 1 delightful digital reading UNK my new kindle last night and haven put it down yet the device is light weight and delivers crisp reading experience in fact even with UNK eyes from an UNK UNK was able to read without eye strain by increasing the font size while doubt will completely give up hard cover or paperback books can tell that most of my reading will be done using my kindle browsing the kindle store from the device is breeze and purchasing is so easy it may prove UNK UNK for UNK like me other great features that quickly UNK my heart include the built in dictionary and note taking capabilities if you re on the fence about buying kindle jump don UNK down to the digital side of the fence you won regret it 0 nice hardware but without epub support this device is useless to me can blame amazon for creating their own proprietary format for their books and wouldn mind buying ebooks from them as their prices are right in line with the others but by limiting me to only buying and using their ebooks no no way never it UNK gonna happen so with this device can download UNK from my library from the various free sources on the net UNK free library this is useless to me unless just want something to read amazon content on and are they still not letting you plug this device into your computer to manage your library files sure they ll transfer over some file types to your unit for fee but not epub the epub file is looking to be the UNK thing to standard file type out there right now and without that support amazon kindle remains an easy pass edit ok had some input from actual owners two of which were actually UNK the unit can be synced to your computer and it apparently easier to convert files that the kindle can read than thought from various sources ll up the review to two stars because it really is nice piece of UNK but face it the only reason this thing can read epub straight is because someone made cold UNK marketing decision that it shouldn and yes in my mind UNK UNK the feature set is worthy of lower review 1 love my kindle got my kindle yesterday it was delivered right on time and it does everything it promised got the wifi 3g and both functions are working fine particularly love how amazon delivers my personal docs for free through my mail account was sending documents right after my kindle left the store and was reading them on my kindle as soon as found wifi connection now only need to find nice cover that will protect this baby 1 wow one word letters no where near accurate this thing blows me away it so awesome to be able to take lots of books with me at one time it easy to read easy to navigate easy easy easy loving the feature of it remembering the last page you were at battery life is awesome great product 1 it like buying UNK before pricing the ink the kindle is fine first of all be sure to get cover and an extended warranty especially if you have kids around as it covers accidental dropping and it is fragile my one gripe is major here book price from amazon kindle edition 99 available for download now publisher little brown books for young readers published june 2010 kindle edition 99 hardcover 50 used 50 let hope amazon can get better deals from publishers on the kindle downloads one other thing our library system has ebooks for all formats except kindle come on amazon what up 1 UNK review for those who prefer book since there are already 500 reviewers telling you how great the kindle is comparing it with it competitors and UNK all of its many excellent features will instead explain the reasons bought kindle to the UNK like myself who prefer to read book or UNK old UNK over an electronic device when these devices first came out was un impressed now everyone in my family has one why we love classics and we can afford to buy all the books we want there were just too many books available free on the kindle that we couldn even find in used book stores or afford if we could my daughter wanted one because she travels with all the airport fees packing bunch of books to read is no longer UNK the kindle weighs almost nothing and contains years worth of reading she in college kindle has bookmarking highlighting and notes perfect for an english major my UNK son enjoys classic stories here conversation we had yesterday while downloading books me check out this UNK UNK son uh mom more of UNK fan see what they have for him me lot should download all of them son sure they re free who wrote white UNK want to read more of his stuff too me jack london they ve got bunch son it ll take month to read all this see if they have the tom UNK books too it feels incredibly good to hear your child not only talk about classic literature but to be able to give him all the books he wants with the press of button without breaking your budget so fellow UNK yes rather UNK up with UNK old UNK and UNK finger the fragile paper but when the books like to read are not available in that format the kindle is kind enough to accept that it will always be my second choice and download all literature like to read anyway at first thought the kindle was expensive but our kindles have paid for themselves many times over already 1 better than expected don feel the need to give an UNK review UNK with comparisons this is my first reader and am UNK this device with little UNK or UNK the k3 is wonderful reader with features that really do lend themselves to an UNK reading experience enjoy reading books on this little thing the kindle does exactly what is supposed to do and it does it well enough said 1 great device except one korean font maybe many people who keep following reviews in this section are starting to be frustrated with the increasing number of bad reviews related with korean fonts but cannot help UNK this again simply default korean font installed kindle is the UNK one in my life ever readability is by far the worst have spent some years in the america and during that period came to have an impression that in english UNK UNK is UNK as very important matter even in printed books it is very surprising to me that korean font implemented this kindle first time in kindle is such great failure it is UNK have used apple ipod touch for three years and iphone 3gs for several months only one type of korean font can use right now for those apple device but that one is quite good expected similar kind of good looking font from the kindle however it turned out to be very disappointing kindle is amazing device and am totally satisfied with reading english novels with the help of built in dictionaries hope amazon will provide firmware update asap kindle support team called me on UNK friday what they said is loading txt files containing non latin characters over usb is currently not supported and some characters may not display properly to view your personal documents with non latin characters on your kindle send your file as microsoft word document doc attachment to your kindle mail address so tried created three word files with different korean fonts and sent them converted files were automatically pushed to my kindle through wi fi great very convenient that is very brilliant idea all three files showed no difference in font style all the same the korean font displayed was much better than those for transferred txt files it looks like one of the four default korean fonts in microsoft windows UNK however it is far from the quality level of default english font or other korean fonts being used these days moreover page turning far slower than that for english azw files okay can get by with these things for while but still hope that amazon team will upgrade korean fonts soon amazon is not small company large but very UNK quick and smooth so believe amazon eventually find which korean font is the best soon was impressed with such quick response and the very UNK phone call so increased my rating from start to star 1 kindle latest generation this is the greatest thing since sliced bread everything that is written about it is so far true no UNK advertising here already have 2nd one on the way as my husband and are now UNK its use 1 simply the best ereader out there the new kindle is simply an excellent ebook reader love the clear focus of this product it excels on almost every key feature like screen contrast battery life connectivity usability etc while UNK most of the unnecessary aspects like touch or color display the better contrast when compared to the old kindle is really worthwhile and in connection with the faster page turns and navigation already UNK the purchase for me yes am an early adopter the reduction in size and weight while keeping the robust feeling to the casing makes the device much more portable for me the battery capacity is simply amazing and is more then sufficient for me overall don understand some of the bad ratings that this excellent product UNK if your unit is defective just send it back and get over it 1 this is reading vast improvement over paper seriously rock UNK performance have not experienced any serious problems and once the kindle UNK your collection which takes several hours to days and slows performance UNK battery life during that time no hangs quick page turns the kindle allows you to UNK into the reading experience an amazing feature set making it full UNK UNK to 21st century reading pdf UNK is impressive it works well with UNK scanned docs and has natural flow to page turns even when the pdf is UNK for easier reading as is formatting especially when it comes to periodicals cannot recommend this device enough 1 my new love ordered my kindle on sept even though it was backordered amazon got it to me in timely manner sept 20 it was ready to read right out of the box even had the book ordered on it have since ordered more books all were delivered within minute have read one book already love the different font sizes and the ease of use know will use this lot 1 over all excellent for 3g version have had my 3g kindle for days now had hard time getting book from my computer at first called kindle support and they were very helpful strongly suggest you spend the extra money to get the 3g version because it is difficult to connect to wifi in alot of places love the screen it is amazing how much it looks like paper and ink have UNK the web with the 3g without any trouble passwords can be tricky without the keys however this only slowed me down little pick up how to use the sym key right away the text to speech UNK sound robotic but they work okay you do not need head phones to use the text to speech the mp3 player also works well also purchased the leather cover with built in light love that the light is always available can be lost is very bright and doesn need batteries do think the price for the cover is to high however so far have not had any trouble with reboots or freezing of the screen am totally in love with my kindle 1 love the my new kindle have owned and loved the kindle but when saw the newest version of the kindle that came out in august decided that wanted to upgrade just for the fact it looked like it had features that better suited me for UNK the kindle is much lighter and thinner than the kindle you wouldn think that ounces wouldn make much difference in weight but it does also love the fact that it now comes with wifi don have strong cell phone signal at my house so downloading book tended to take while now that have wifi web pages load lot faster and my download speed increased tremendously like the fact that have the option to use 3g or wifi depending on where am at the battery life is longer and turning from page to page has increased as well from the kindle am so glad purchased the kindle would highly recommend this device to any avid reader 1 happy was extremely excited when heard that amazon was coming out with new kindle although have loved my kindle felt it was too big and heavy so placed my order on august UNK with an expected shipping date of the 10th and ordered the graphite for change was happy when this morning my kindle arrived early and UNK to open it it was fantastic it felt much lighter than my previous kindle and love the new layout for the keys everything was easy to set up except for the wifi which kept telling me that had entered the wrong code even though it was the correct code finally got it connected after the UNK try so far so good my only complaints would be as follows even after many customer UNK regarding being able to delete archived items on the kindle we are still unable to do so the key on my unit right side to turn the page back feels quite loose compared to the left side it also makes clicking sound that the other keys do not make other than this my first impressions are very happy ones 1 great book reader terrible document viewer and general computing device let me be honest hate giving the kindle anything short of star review however UNK demands that consider the drawbacks UNK the good ink is amazing in decent lighting you will almost not be able to tell the difference between the screen and paper it only when you catch the light UNK off the plastic when it UNK it true nature totally hooked on reading from its screen and am planning on purchasing book light so can read in bed while my wife UNK the form factor is very comfortable for reading properly formatted media more on this in bit it ideal it just little bigger than paperback it light enough not to be much of an UNK but heavy enough to feel sturdy and well made the cost all things considered you can beat 140 with stick for an additional 50 you get UNK connectivity which imagine could be nice but unnecessary for me doesn require proprietary software to synchronize it sets up as usb drive and you just drag and drop files into the documents folder UNK when you order from amazon the book is UNK delivered over whispernet reads variety of formats including mobi and pdf more on this later the bad syncing over whispernet seems broken or slow UNK myself document to my free kindle com account and it took several hours to arrive on my kindle you need book light ink has its drawbacks the interface is UNK often to the point of distraction often find myself waiting for the screen to update in between key presses UNK pdf support is often broken and when it does work it is impossible to actually read the document because UNK and zooming is so UNK implemented as to be useless imagine the page turning lag except when panning document UNK to continue reading line and then to pan back to the left again to pick up the next line UNK want to convert your existing physical book library forget it unless you re willing to break the law you re going to have to re purchase everything ebook pricing think this has been UNK to death ebook availability why can get copy of UNK space for the kindle this is UNK can understand if it was only published overseas and you had to ship it across the UNK UNK an UNK shipping cost but for an electronic file for book that been in paperback in the us for several years you have got to be kidding me the ugly the interface is clumsy largely UNK to the speed of the refresh however also finding that the machine itself doesn seem to have that much UNK for example selecting word to look it up in the dictionary has second lag organizing books by collections is very slow and tedious if you happen to have lot of ebooks already expect trial of patience as you slow arrow enter arrow arrow enter the UNK nature of the way controller arrow keys and select can also be confusing for example arrow up or down in book will enable to cursor for selection arrow left or right takes you back to the beginning of the book forget about actually trying to browse anything other than wikipedia on its browser UNK the slowness of the interface with general UNK and rendering issues and you ve got UNK for deep pain that said love pulling up wikipedia pages and switching to article mode awesome with the catch that converting the page to article mode can be slow pdf support works but it not perfect most documents read academic papers are formatted such that the only way to read them is to switch to landscape mode and play with zoom options and even then dealing with UNK fonts it UNK challenging unfortunately this is exactly why bought the unit if you don like the built in screensavers you re going to have to hack the unit otherwise get used to seeing UNK UNK ugly UNK when you put the device to sleep using the keyboard with the unit in cover is difficult because the front UNK will UNK your left thumb don see way around this other than not using cover usb connectivity is UNK you can connect it as drive just like any other storage device but you can do anything else while it is connected the unit is dead as UNK until you eject the drive once you eject it you can use the unit as you normally would but have no capability to add new media UNK out non amazon content will UNK you to the world of hurt that is the ebook format war ve been attempting to use calibre to manage it all and find it time consuming confusing and more than little frustrating summary what it does do which is present books in way that is comfortable and enjoyable it does so with excellence worthy of default score of stars the performance limitations and design UNK are significant UNK demands UNK at least one star for these if only to encourage amazon to continue improving the unit support for anything outside of amazon UNK UNK is mess from web browsing to using alternative formats these have hit me square where live and need this unit to function well must UNK another star for this the kindle is very mixed bag still consider this first generation device and anyone jumping in now will experience the growing UNK of being an early adopter there are better technologies coming which hope that amazon will take advantage of in the UNK though still recommend the kindle to anyone who looking to transition into the digital world 1 perfect for beach let me UNK my review by saying live near the beach read about one book every two weeks and felt buying books was waste of paper after finished them love the library but sometimes ruin books by having them in the sand and sun didn know much about readers and wasn sure if the investment was worth it on with my review my husband and got the ipad when it first came out we felt the ipad would be our answer to everything from replacing our computer to becoming my reader don get me wrong the ipad is pretty cool the ipad is great internet browser and app player however it is an awful reader took it to the beach once and the screen turned black and was unreadable when tried to read in the house it gave me headaches because you are UNK reading computer screen ended up going back to reading paper books while my husband used the ipad to browse the internet my father also bookworm came to the beach one day with his brand new kindle was amazed to see how nice the screen looked and how small the kindle was felt UNK by the ipad hype immediately ordered the newest generation kindle and am totally addicted to reading on it the screen awesome it actually looks like reading paper you can read it on the beach the screen doesn go black in the sun and doesn give you headache like computer screens it is about the size of paperback but much thinner and very light the kindle came pre loaded with my account on it and downloading books was extremely fast the highlighting tool would be handy for someone in school the only thing feel the kindle should improve on is maybe making it touchscreen after having the ipad and my iphone so used to hitting my finger on the screen to make selections so clicking the arrow keys down then the select button can be cumbersome to someone like me oh and the first time used it didn know when you change pages the screen flashes reverse negative of the page quickly first so thought there was something wrong with my kindle maybe there should be an UNK or warning in the instructions as there currently isn any and almost returned it luckily googled it and found out that how the ink works used to it now but it is little weird to see at first overall the kindle is definitely worth the investment give the kindle an for reading on the beach and am looking forward to reading lots of books on it 1 doesn support pub UNK what wonderful device on it own very crisp and clear minor glitch browsing the book store left UNK on the screen but they went away when you change pages or start reading book no pub formats why not amazon please support the standard used by libraries 1 reading experience just like paper book there have been lot of reviews of this product with some UNK on certain issues with wi fi or 3g or just plain hardware issues will focus specifically on the reading experience itself as my kindle is in perfect working order and apart from one freeze when used the experimental browser am very pleased with my purchase this was my first reader purchase and had played around with the kindle nook and sony readers the newest generation kindle is by far superior to these other devices the contrast is UNK to reading paper book and the fonts are clear and was so UNK in book that actually went to flip the page having forgotten was reading on an electronic device this was when knew the kindle was great product for me have transferred pdf documents and also downloaded few free classics and love the ability to change books depending on what you feel like reading at the moment it connected to my wi fi network instantaneously as soon as remembered the password other advantages the ability to read outside with no glare the light weight of the product the ease of getting new books although you have to watch your impulse buys lastly my wife says she can hear the page clicks when read in bed actual paper pages make more noise the only real disadvantage for me is the book locations find it somewhat confusing and do miss real page numbers also miss looking ahead as to when the next chapter starts could hit the forward buttons but it not as quick as flipping few pages to see where you are in the book and then just reading on bought the kindle as wanted an reader nothing more and nothing less am very pleased with the little machine and am looking forward to downloading my next book in 60 seconds or less 1 love it can say enough good things about my new kindle incredible thin and lightweight easy to use really clear and easy to read even in bright sunlight awesome battery life and affordable price highly recommend spending the extra 50 and getting the 3g version initially bought the wifi only version and ended up upgrading week later true it is an ereader only but it is much better as an ereader than multi purpose device like netbook or ios device ipad ipod touch iphone at this price point it is worth it to have an kindle in addition to my other gadgets 1 if my house were on fire save my kindle switched over sony reader when it went UNK on me always wanted kindle and when saw the latest generation couldn resist it wonderful really can say enough about how amazing the kindle is it so easy to use most of the functions are pretty intuitive the text quality is superb the only time it has difficulty is with pdfs but with the free conversion that not even problem love the web browser especially with 3g it like having smartphone without the expensive UNK if you re UNK between the two models would definitely recommend UNK out for the free 3g it worth it only have one or two problems and they re extremely minor and personal preference issues with could disable the screensavers and wish there was software to easily add books from your UNK and edit UNK but otherwise this is fantastic device love it 1 it my first kindle and love it love technology but had delayed purchasing kindle for unknown reasons maybe was skeptical about reading book on an electronic tablet now own one and very happy when found out mine was being shipped immediately went to the kindle online book store and purchased few books once my kindle arrived turned it on surprise the books were right there within minutes probably seconds but who counting lol the reading quality is excellent and you can adjust the font size in case you desire larger print or if your eyes fatigue and you want to give them rest from extensive reading it easy to hold and lightweight hope amazon kindle UNK the experimental web browser quickly the web selections are limited and it would be ideal if you could surf the web separately from the pre UNK internet sites provided within the kindle ordered the kindle blue cover which works well at protecting the kindle very easy to install and take off would suggest to anyone purchasing separate screen protector film even if you have kindle cover because with any screen device its easy to UNK screen and screen UNK are not that expensive plus once kindle smart phone etc screen are UNK there no going back to wishing you had placed screen protector on the device by then it too late for traveling the kindle beats lugging around hard cover or paperback book in your backpack or luggage why carry paperback books or even one hardcover when you can slip your kindle easily into your bag which holds thousands of books although the kindle might not fit in pants pocket it will fit in UNK pants style pockets as well as backpack or purse owned the paperback five UNK which is huge had just started to read the first couple of chapters when my kindle arrived yes purchased the kindle five UNK version and there no going back to reading the thick paperback which is impossible to hold if you ve never owned kindle like me now is the time to purchase one 1 you won be disappointed love my 3rd generation kindle it is very easy to use easy to read and exceptionally easy to hold there is wonderful selection on books to choose from and they download very quickly purchased it with UNK from person who has one already but was very skeptical cannot wait to travel with it would encourage you to get the one with the 3g it is so worth the extra cost 1 so far so good because these reviews are often UNK with folks who either don own the item reviewed or who had an UNK experience with the product want to say that my new kindle is exactly what wanted it to be the only problem can think of is regarding it lack of UNK don know if that even word basically like to be able to customize the home screen little more than we currently can it not really problem though and it nothing to be upset about even the browser though cumbersome is usable and it not like bought it to use for internet access at any rate my husband is now jealous of my kindle and imagine we will be ordering another one for christmas this year 1 never thought would like it let alone love it was really opposed to the kindle mostly because the physical book itself is really important to me the cover art the pages and fonts etc but now that have one there are so many aspects of the kindle that like ve now been forced to admit that love it never would have gotten one but spending month abroad where won be able to find bookstores and read so much that my family thinking would have no way to pack enough books gave me kindle for my trip first off the lightness of it is the best can read in bed and don have to worry about UNK up heavy hardcover you know especially when you re at the very beginning and it UNK UNK reading on your side don have to try to find way to hold the book open especially at the very beginning or very end of really thick book always hated that now there no issue secondly can take out my UNK and get into bed and don have to wear my glasses which tend to give me headache if really have to can change the font size so can read comfortably it amazing and of course having UNK of books for trip like the one about to take is major bonus the battery life is really good ve never had any of the other generations or different reader or anything but to me it seems like can read for hours without the battery getting very low it never died on me but obviously nothing is perfect and there are always downsides one thing is what already stated not having the actual physical feel of the book going along with that is the ease of flipping back to something missed know ll get quicker at finding things with the search tool etc but like being able to just flip to the front to check things for reference like maps or character names or whatever else may be there and something is sort of lost in translation maybe there way to do that that haven yet discovered on my kindle though another thing is that there are million typos maybe it just the books choosing to read but so far all the books ve read on my kindle have lot of typos talking like at least one per page sometimes more sometimes things that shouldn be UNK are sometimes UNK isn completed and same with quotes or they re randomly placed in the text for no reason or sometimes it text error like it will say torn instead of tom maybe it because the kindle editions of these books are very new and need more proof reading don know there are so many ve started UNK them overall really like the kindle and think it good back up for when you can have real books think ll still use both 1 awesome upgrade from k2 am surprised at how much enjoying the k3 having owned the k2 since it first came out the contrast is UNK better and the smaller form factor and weight are terrific and the wife will enjoy the silent buttons the new price isn half bad either 0 amazon cannot track their packages amazon com failed to deliver my item and was unable to track their package after spending about hours of my time dealing with their customer service and digging into the tracking details found that amazon is unable or UNK to track their own packages was able to find out more information tracking it on my own than the amazon customer service people could unfortunately it led to black UNK where the item now lies if you want an reader recommend purchasing the sony reader from real shop providing your credit card number to amazon in the hopes that they might actually decide to send you an item is an act of UNK UNK customer service poor tracking infrastructure failure overall quality failure 1 the search is over whatever else happens in the next UNK years we already have the invention of the 21st century many years from now we will look back and see the kindle as the invention that saved books from UNK know there are lot of people out there who UNK at books talking about how they much prefer the feel of good hardback and the turning of pages that fine but in an age where new release hardback can run 40 and cash UNK libraries purchase fewer and fewer books in an age when it harder and harder to find classics short stories etc anywhere the kindle is godsend in the two days ve owned mine ve downloaded almost UNK books and paid not one penny for any of them included are several very old stories ve never heard of found by browsing amazon one click each and they arrived in my machine in seconds ready to read it about as close to magic as you are likely to UNK in your lifetime my father has always loved to read he UNK out the books of his UNK at public libraries and would on occasion order one from amazon within week after buying his kindle he had more than hundred old books and short stories he thought he would never see again and paid zero for the collection find myself reading more already than have in months so while respect people who like the feel of real books appreciate the kindle as device which offers full access to those of us who don have an unlimited amount of money or time but who love to read there aren enough stars available to do full justice to this device can imagine anyone UNK purchasing this device can imagine and hope for the day when get on train or bus and find that my fellow UNK have stopped UNK away on their cell phones or UNK texting some dim thought and are instead UNK the simple pleasure of reading 1 best purchase my kindle is the best purchase ve ever made as voracious reader there is no substitute for kindle not only don leave home without it rarely change rooms without it other than ease of use and portability my favorite things are the ability to sample any book before buying the built in dictionary and the ability to get new book almost instantly from huge selection amazon even UNK me if already own book looking at and doesn call me an idiot for not remembering kindle is wonderful and kindle is even better well worth the cost of an upgrade amazon kindle customer service is so good that you really won believe it unless you are over 90 and remember dr house calls 1 an UNK to my kindle all of my friends tell me that amazon should pay me for my advertising services because couldn stop telling them all of the wonderful things love about my second edition kindle now that have my third edition they ll never shut me up unless gifting kindle books becomes an option and then all they ll have to do is tell me that there new book waiting for me and will have reason to leave them alone love that it fits in the palm of my hand and that the simple UNK of my thumb or UNK can turn the page love that the graphite color of my kindle seems to make the device disappear while only the text remains love that there is so much more text that can fit on the page love that there is now an indicator light to tell me when the device UNK that ve moved the switch and that the bottom of the device seems to UNK out for someone to develop the UNK for kindle love that am able to look up words or phrases that don understand in wikipedia whether am at home enjoying wi fi or in local restaurant that hasn yet made their location into hot spot is there room for improvement sure there are features that could be added like the ability to instantly wiki any term that the dictionary does not recognize or sharing books with friends and not quite sure that the buttons on both sides are entirely necessary but these are only minor things it like boyfriend who has nice UNK but little more UNK would make it an amazing UNK you love him whether he fixes his hair or not love my kindle thank you amazon 1 better than real books for over year ve been reading with the kindle apps for ipod touch and then android they re good it fair trade to get smaller page for the convenience of reading wherever happen to be but the reduced price for real kindle finally led to my jumping to that platform first the screen is beautiful it almost UNK the view angle is UNK good the frame surrounding the screen is just big enough to let you rest your fingers without UNK the screen common problem on the smaller devices the large next page button as real button offers UNK to prevent accidentally moving to the next page another common problem for me on the smaller devices the increased numbers of words per page make reading easier and faster in the sense you re not continually changing the page but more than just comparing it to other kindles comparing it to book with book you have two pages UNK together and the act of changing the page with the kindle you have just one page feel this is UNK as you now have single surface on which to focus your eyes the device is light and as the largest ebook reader the accessories market is large have light for reading in bed and case for traveling being light makes it easier to read anywhere good thing kindle software UNK you text to speech web browser and music player none are great the web browser will do in pinch but it reminds me of the blackberry browser with its awkward cursor icon without touchscreen you of course need something but it feels awkward text to speech is very mechanical the UNK point in the kindle experience are the fonts the UNK UNK courier UNK font while certainly readable is jarring compared to newspapers paper books or UNK readers it is the biggest UNK in my mind compared to the nook or other readers even the various kindle apps have more conventional fonts if the kindle were an ipad the limitations and UNK would UNK the device UNK but it not and as reading device the kindle UNK perfection 1 loving it thus far got this to UNK my ipad since having the kindle app on it love reading on it and decide why not by the kindle just for my ebook reading also brought the lighted cover which works great and don have to worry about disturbing anyone when read late at night 1 know what you are getting in one word awesome UNK you must really understand and realize that you are purchasing book not netbook or ipad or any other multimedia device can stress this enough as although really knew why wanted this it really took while 15 minutes to realize that this isn multimedia device guess you could say that it is so UNK that it can fool you like that but it is UNK limited in areas other than what it was designed to do which is reading amazon books live in south korea so purchasing this has been quite UNK for me at it did cost me an additional 30 in UNK and taxes also you need to have UNK address in the us in order to take advantage of the kindle there aren many books available if your region is set to UNK UNK as somebody that works full time and is studying for UNK at the same time had hoped that kindle would be kind to pdf files as the reference papers have to read are in pdf format the good news is that the kindle can display them even those that are in korean haven tried chinese or japanese but UNK that they would appear too the bad news is that the font in fit to screen mode is way too small to read comfortably unless you press the aa button to display things UNK it still not perfect but much better in terms of readability not so much in terms of handling some books have some display errors as was UNK with the additional taxes and delivery cost downloaded the free classics and while reading the adventures of sherlock holmes found that some of the french and certain symbols and letters are not displayed correctly often showing strange UNK symbols instead portability is something of problem if you don buy cover didn and find it very inconvenient to carry around when not reading it haven found hold button so have to turn it off in order to avoid accidental page turning while carrying it wish it had wrist strap among other things just so am not worried of dropping it when somebody UNK me on my way to work otherwise it very light and thin though think like it more if it was UNK so it easier to hold in one hand my hands are big enough to palm UNK though barely still quite easy to manipulate just using one hand the read to me feature is well there you won UNK it with an audio book that for sure it adequate in most cases though in some cases it will fail miserably like reading mr em UNK as opposed to UNK anyway it actually not that bad and can really wow people moving cursor to word while reading automatically gives its meaning first two lines in the dictionary and it does so without refreshing the entire screen which is nice but it will move you to the dictionary page if you want to see the whole meaning which is kinda annoying speaking of the dictionary it will refresh constantly as you type word which guess is meant to be user friendly in case you don know the spelling of the word but annoying if you do wi fi works well and downloading books really is fast as is downloading pdf files you mail to your kindle it supposed to re format it think but personally find no difference from mailing it and just transferring it via usb handling in general is quite intuitive but you do need to consult the manual and the help pages at amazon as some parts are really not intuitive at all books having no page numbers can be UNK too but can be helped as people will have different page numbers depending on their font size preference so bookmarking page may actually send you to different part of page which can be somewhat annoying as all my other UNK devices UNK touch screen kindle not having one takes time getting used to to think that we lived just fine without touch is just amazing come to think of it but in this day and age not having touch can get bit annoying especially since the keys are quite small you won have trouble using them have big fingers with your UNK hands but with UNK UNK good luck oh well you re not meant to use it while UNK or something anyway all in all if you really wanted convenient reader this is just awesome but if you had hoped for it do to slightly more it won hold up 1 k3 review have owned the k1 for three years and love it have had my k3 for three weeks now the only problem have is with the wireless service which is different from the k1 understand that there is different contract provider for the newer kindles the problem is live in UNK UNK and the coverage for the 3g edge does not work here used the wireless service with the k1 everywhere UNK and never had problem not so with the new k3 it is very frustrating other that that love my new kindle especially the ability to create folders for my books am not familiar with wi fi so that doesn help me much other than liking the wireless service for the k1 better have not had any problems with the newer version it is easy to use and much easier to navigate do wish there was way to have page numbers on the books continue to recommend the kindle to all my friends and love to UNK it to UNK as they see me reading 1 works great when working out on my UNK not only does the kindle meet my needs for reading books easily and buying quickly but it is perfect for my entertainment while working out boring on my UNK it fits right on the UNK on the UNK and can easily change pages with one click on the page button no more stopping to turn paper page and somehow secure it while continue to work out sometimes had to literally hold the paper book in place by hand while read no more am extremely pleased with the kindle for my purposes 1 great advance in technology my first kindle wonderful piece of technology if you want net book go buy one if you want apps go buy an pad if you want an reader buy this one easy to read in any light with the addition of the leather cover with led lighting will be buying more for family christmas presents 1 shipping issues the product is good but the shipping sucks ordered the kindle on the 4th of UNK and it is now the 10th still not shipped why not it said it UNK in stock have no answers as to why not happy 1 wow am not often impressed beyond my expectations by piece of technology but the kindle has blown me away simple to use elegant and exactly what had hoped it might be reading is really easy and unlike book can have it on table in front of me on plane or restaurant etc and not have to hold it the mp3 function works really well so can read and listen to music at the same time the page view can be rotated which is great as prefer to read with it in the landscape mode only got the wi fi option as do not see the point of the 3g and it works really well books are downloaded rapidly still think the price of an electronic book should be cheaper than the listed price but am loading it up with old UNK for planes and UNK saw UNK reading on an pad on the bus and ok it is nice piece of kit but for reading no thank you the screen is bright and it weighs ton if the purchase is to read books and listen to bit of music the kindle is the UNK UNK wonderful 1 ve been UNK it UNK for weeks since purchased the new 3rd gen kindle think ve sold 10 of them for amazon to friends and family who ve seen it and come away impressed ve finished few books and finally willing to admit that an reader product of this quality has won me over as an avid reader UNK could never UNK real paper well done amazon keep UNK 1 kindle review use it every day so must like it not very technical so my review is from regular guy 0 don waste your money on the kindle ordered the new kindle wifi and waited two months for it got UNK and it was defective it would turn it self off even through charged it per the instructions the text would not display correctly on the screen letters were missing to top it off the wifi wouldn connect either what piece of junk never again 1 love the kindle have had my kindle for close to month downloads are breeze screen is excellent for all lighting conditions have encountered am retired and UNK some UNK it will be great to not have an extra suitcase along just to carry books 1 pop goes my reader UNK got my k3 about weeks after ordered it expected this delay because unlike lot of other UNK out there read the bold print out of stock and UNK myself for wait no big deal think the star reviews based on shipping should be removed UNK are as UNK as UNK on UNK this is my first reader did my research read reviews compared other readers made with out doubt the right decision it was easy to set up no help from hubby needed the quick start guide was very helpful buying books is UNK too got mine strictly as reader like the storage and the ease of use love the UNK don have much use for the pdf feature so can not comment on it the read to me feature is great for when am UNK my make up or UNK the kindle3 feels sturdy and is quite beautiful when was reading reviews fellow UNK UNK oberon designs for k3 covers wow they do great work recomend them for anyone who can find what they want from amazon these are hand UNK made in the usa leather covers with price point of 65 and worth every penny no don work for them just love their things long story short this reader UNK is very happy with her kindle3 am UNK ever said prefer the feel of book in my hands UNK this is the future of books stars amazon 1 new kindle excellent dear amazon have requested through the kindle to write as finding with my new purchase the kindle what never read with such UNK comfortable to hold during the reading in any situation fast page change light and UNK beautiful thanks for UNK such reading tool your customer UNK UNK 1 it does work with wireless routers awesome product loving everything and couldn be happier read an earlier review that the kindle doesn work with wireless routers well have wireless router and it works just fine 1 great device UNK ipad perfectly is the only way to read outdoors for books only magazines much better on ipad visually like high quality print appearance screen savers look fantastic can hold and turn pages easily with one hand top device 1 first time kindle owner going to make this quick ve never owned kindle once borrowed friend kindle for about month and thought it was really neat because in that month read more than had in the previous two years talking about books found the device bit awkward to use but enjoyed the reading experience however at those original prices just found the cost of entry UNK high fast forward two years the price of kindle wi fi edition for 139 is really affordable most people don need the 3g it nice to have so that what almost purchased however find myself traveling internationally and thought that having basic web access via the included experimental webkit browser would be UNK to me so ended up buying the 3g also went back and forth before ordering amazon kindle case with the light and saw one at friends again impressed put aside my reservations primarily around price and weight and purchased the cover arrived yesterday and the convenience or reading in bed with my sleeping wife and convenient light well it awesome believer and when get my smartphone probably windows phone ll look forward to having kindle app for it that can sync back and forth with my new kindle believer ps did have an ipad for about two weeks liked it but didn love it and then found it hard to justify since didn love it don have such UNK with the kindle update 09 25 2010 an amazon user pointed out that you won have basic web access through 3g in other countries he pointed out that the 3g service in other countries is mostly good for wikipedia not good for browsing yahoo google etc so that bit of disappointment but expect that if subscribe to blog whilst away ll get those UNK and not sure why wikipedia would work but browser mail would not if true it pity cannot check email all said and done wouldn change my rating and ll try it for myself next time travel internationally and post an update 1 UNK really don have anything to complain about the k3 has been extremely reliable and stable honestly don have single complaint other than the price of books at times 1 amazing kindle this is my second kindle and love it gave my first one to my son is easy to read light easy to navigate excellent 1 an excellent reader ve had my new kindle for almost two weeks now and think it fantastic improvement on its already solid predecessor my only worry when received it in the mail was its size its much smaller and lighter than the 2nd generation kindle worried that the UNK would make it too hard to hold comfortably but after few days quickly adjusted and am loving it pros very crisp clear screen quiet faster page turns the graphite grey is sooooo much UNK than the hospital white smaller lighter comfortable to hold larger capacity which will never fill battery life is excellent but not buying that single charge lasts up to 30 days the new slick design uses space effectively keyboard keys and buttons are closer together but ve had no problem whatsoever whispernet is still amazing collections is great new feature minor cons dust tends to build up around the frame of the screen didn notice it on my last kindle the way controller is still UNK am really UNK with these they re the only negatives can think of and don UNK affect the reading experience UNK against the industry not the kindle device itself are some of the prices for books my mom paid 13 99 for UNK UNK book the other day UNK no storage shipping printing or binding costs truly UNK in my opinion also the ipad comparisons are getting old kindle is an reader and as such damn good one if you love reading like do get this little UNK you won regret it 0 surprisingly bad customer service purchased the kindly UNK ordered it month in advance and it finally arrived on aug 31st previously owned the kindle and the kindly is nice improvement the smaller form factor the UNK page turns and the improved contrast are all touted features and they are all true unfortunately after few days of playing with the kindle downloading couple of books and reading it began resetting itself every minutes the battery would run down in less than 12 hours likely due to the frequent resets and more importantly it was really annoying to be UNK stopped mid sentence when the kindle decided to reset itself called customer service the first person spoke to transferred me to kindle UNK after hearing the problem the UNK stated that he wanted me to plug in my kindle into the wall outlet and he would update it overnight to correct the resetting issue he also stated he would call me at pm the next day at UNK pm the next day had not received phone call thus called kindle support and again the first person spoke to transferred me to another kindle UNK after placing me on hold for 10 minutes the next kindle UNK stated that the update was not done the night before but would be done the following night he had no explanation as to why the first UNK did not contact me as he stated he would thus after days of awaiting the wireless update which would solve the problem of the kindle resetting every minutes the update was complete and the the kindle continued to reset it self so again another missed follow up by kindle support who stated they would call me back the next day and to no avail no follow up thus again for the 3rd day in row called kindle support let history repeat itself and was transferred to yet another kindle UNK he stated that few kindles were reported to have the same problem whereas some on this forum were replaced they were UNK to replace my kindle until UNK through yet another update was to wait yet another day until they sent another wireless update and see if it solved the problem will know the results tomorrow what true disappointment for company that UNK itself on great customer service this has been an eye opening experience hope that my kindle is fixed by tomorrow and if not hope that amazon com has the UNK to replace it up until now this has been terrible customer experience just wanted to share my story with you all and let you know that if your kindle is resetting itself it is real problem which the engineers have UNK and you should call customer support and ask for replacement and not let them keep telling you that you will need an update maybe the next update will work for me but 50 hours later phone calls later missed follow ups later and customer support UNK later and still have kindle that is at this point non functional maybe just maybe if wait day later it will suddenly work 0 book lovers dream not until major bugs are fixed received the kindle for my birthday we had been holding out buying kindle but the 139 price was no brainer first the pros that we ve all heard about download ton of ebooks quick book lover dream was like my music loving husband when he first bought his ipod and spent days downloading his favorite songs love having library at my UNK sleek and portable compared mine to my friend 1st generation and mine was so much lighter can easily fit it in my small purse and it not heavy design at first had my doubts holding the kindle in my hand but by the 2nd night was sold can hold it easily in one hand while reading in bed although no night light huge con refuse to pay the UNK 60 for the cover UNK combo give me break the font is easy on the eyes dictionary oh my you just move to the word and UNK the definition pops up cons kept freezing up on me about had UNK the first yes happened more than once time this happened was at the beach just like the lady in their ad showing my book UNK daughter next to me the genius feature of the built in dictionary when low and behold my screen froze and yes was ultra careful to protect my kindle against any of the UNK here my daughter was reading on while was stuck with nothing what let down my husband very tech savvy came over and UNK with it and finally got it to shut down later learned that sometimes kindle will freeze and needed to hold the restart button and count to 15 this worked but then couldn connect to the kindle store the message stated there was no connection or you may just need to restart the device we determined we did have wifi connection since we could browse the web so we also restarted don reset you may lose your settings still no access to the kindle store let the device rest and tried restarting again and again and again still nothing UNK could go to my ipad and download ebook samples to my kindle and it worked like charm but um defeats the purpose to make matters worse every time tried to access the kindle store and got the non connecting message my kindle froze again finally gave up and plugged the kindle in the charger fyi it was fully charged but for some odd reason that evening when tried again could log into the kindle store just fine only read about an hour that evening but no more crashes web navigating clumsy no cursor so it difficult to click onto UNK or icon but it is neat feature in theory still am so leery of this product ve only owned it for 10 days was seriously considering purchasing the kindle for my mother this christmas but would hate for her to go through all this trouble 1 love it love love love it have books UNK over from every available surface and face it much of UNK fiction is not keeper but something you read and pass on or read and wonder why tree died to print this the kindle is great solution to the UNK purchase of books and is so easy on the eyes easy to read easy to travel with and if you have reservations about the price take look at the free downloads if you download some of the classics the kindle has just paid for itself and then some the kindle is perfect for books too much is being made of the ability to read pdfs and carry those and hence get the larger kindle dx frankly if need to read pdf or even textbook need my laptop for storage and note taking and writing you can see pdf in color on the kindle and the screen even the dx screen limits the size of the page don think the kindle can replace laptop and is too limited to use for work it wasn meant to its reader but it can replace the stack of pleasure reading by the bed couch table and save few trees in the process never had an earlier generation kindle so can compare only criticism is wish the background were even whiter its an off white but probably better for your eyes in the long run if really loved book would go out and buy the paper version and UNK it for UNK but for the majority of my reading and especially for travel or long waits in the doctor office the kindle is an amazing invention 1 fantastic resisted getting kindle for long time but when the price dropped decided to take the plunge got the wifi only version love it the first time read something on it UNK myself by occasionally trying to turn the page like was reading traditional book it sooo much easier to carry around and read than book though the only negative is the text to speech feature definitely needs some work it like having your gps read to you 0 no UNK UNK poor pdf display like kindle for its eink screen and because it easy to hold don like the rendering of pdf files when pdfs are converted characters with UNK marks are not displayed impossible to add fonts to the kindle that would display them UNK fonts are not supported this is big disadvantage and the reason am quite disappointed lots of UNK to be improved hope those thinks can be fixed through new firmware 1 nice little reader ll make this short and sweet love this new kindle have the kindle and was happy with that one but am really happy with the new kindle the kindle weighs lot less than kindle one hand is able to hold it up for an extended time the next page button is lot easier to press the background is lighter than it gray predecessor and the font is bit more crisp although not as crisp as they say still very good and crisp the only drawback that ve noticed is that the sleep button is at the bottom instead of the top sometimes if UNK the kindle on pillow or something while reading will accidently move the sleep button and cause it to sleep but that not real problem since as ve already stated the unit is very lightweight and don necessarily have to rest it on pillow to read lastly the price is right plan to sell my kindle on ebay and probably get my money back that paid for the new kindle 0 my experience with the kindle and the ipad UNK hard core long term pc lover and mac UNK UNK built pcs for myself and others played cutting edge games with expensive hardware like things being open and UNK UNK UNK did and still do hate the kind of UNK of apple no matter how good it is hate it on UNK no matter how good it is it eventually UNK to fail instead of playing nice with the rest of the world they closed themselves off and now compete with it unless they win so hard that they beat out the rest of the whole open world they will lose when saw people with UNK always felt UNK and confused and pity like oh there goes another UNK who was sold the apple UNK anyway UNK over college just started and was looking through the bookstore for the required books need for my classes then remembered all those kindle UNK never UNK for it before but UNK now instead of carrying all these books could just put them on kindle and have it all right there the main attractive thing about the kindle specifically was the ink figured it something deal breaking and this new kindle had even 50 more contrast so went ahead and bought it had to ebay it for 250 3g version because it was sold out everywhere when got the kindle the screen was indeed impressive but was soon UNK the device is just too sluggish turning pages is sluggish looking up words in the dictionary is too sluggish highlighting and leaving notes is sluggish even just switching from book to book is too sluggish the kindle has great overall features but it just UNK to use wanted to feel like could seamlessly manipulate dozens of books at my fingertips within one device and even though technically could it did not feel like that at all it did not feel usable pdfs are complete joke on the kindle as well when looking at pdfs you can only see quarter of the page at time and you have to UNK scroll left and right up and down to read it completely unusable like using an internet browser on 10 year old phone also realized the resolution of the ink is only about 50 higher than normal screen which is pretty good but have been reading text on computer screens all my life for me realized ink is nothing revolutionary and considered the ipad strictly as ereader anyway long story short got the ipad and the reading experience is ridiculous difference turning pages is UNK more fluid than in real life to define word don have to use click pad to scroll around the page word by word just double tap it with my finger same for leaving notes same for searching through book opening and closing books takes fluid moment the ipad can of course do whole lot more as well but the point is even just as reader it beats the kindle hands down can see the kindle being better for very specific small target market basically people who read ton maybe are not too tech savvy and have lot of patience and lot of time for those people the kindle battery life might just be the only deciding factor other than that for any kind of college students people who read magazines or just hobby read on the side get an ipad if for nothing more than to UNK 1 pretty awesome if you don expect it to build UNK UNK received my kindle on sept 17 and charged it fully that night after playing around with it trying to get to know it better it began to re boot on it own randomly discovered how to upgrade the software version from the wireless connection purchased the 139 00 model with wi fi only on my home network updated from what ever was on the kindle from the factory to all seemed very well after that two days later it re booted randomly again that was the only time experienced that during the two days contacted amazon via mail and five hours later received UNK with instructions on how to download onto my mac book the very latest software version it was so simple thought was doing something wrong did exactly as UNK in the mail and it worked just fine the mail suggested that this update should UNK what was UNK my kindle to be clear love my kindle that is to say heart my kindle it truly one of the most awesome little gadgets have purchased love the functionality and how it operates no it not an ipad iphone UNK UNK or whatever it is reader with couple other UNK if you need something to start your car from london or whatever get an ipad if you need or want really great reader get kindle can read in the UNK light can read in dim light due to really good contrast it can surf the web in an emergency and also downloaded couple of word games shuffled row and every word and they are fun and UNK from UNK UNK point of view know that not word owning kindle has UNK my time of random internet surfing because it so UNK easy to grab the kindle and UNK where left off don have to UNK paper back open to read the words that are close to the UNK it is really cool to lay in bed reading plus if get bored can instantly change books when run into word don understand can put the curser on it and the definition pops up and if get really lazy it can read to me the computer voices are little weird but very understandable love it if you don see any UNK to this UNK you will know that the latest software upgrade did what it was supposed to do have great day update on 10 20 2010 just as an update regarding the kindle still love it and after receiving it on sept 17 2010 just recharged it on october 19 2010 it still wasn completely dead just didn want it to die when wanted to read now keep the wifi off 99 of the time and that helps lot never turn the device off while in it protective case edge company it just goes into screen saver mode it lasts long time that it kindle rocks 1 can think what do without you knowing what it like to have you this is in short the UNK product have ever had it is just incredibly amazing and love it started using kindle software over the summer on my ipod and really fell in love with it when my kindle UNK came in UNK was UNK first let me say little about what kindle can do mostly in its experimental features like that it plays mp3s but it always plays them in the same order and am yet to find way to have it show the name of the song also at least for me had to convert the items wanted on the kindle to the UNK format est la UNK the internet browser leaves to be desired find that the application will crash when scroll around too much but as long as you work in normal pace it not that bad also really wish that could change or atleast select the screen savers kindle really is amazing the graphic is so sleek and don see UNK unless really focus on the screen but that UNK not the best for my eyes kindle UNK beautifully would recomend it to anyone 1 happy with my kindle have used another ebook reader for several years and finally made the switch to the kindle when saw the price drop ordered the kindle on july UNK and received it on august 27th unfortunately that kindle had something loose inside the case as it made small rattling noise within the first 30 minutes of using it the poor thing froze several different times called kindle support who immediately shipped out replacement kindle which arrived on august 31st apparently their stock of replacement kindles was running low because the replacement kindle was the international version this international version didn include the wall charger or the quick start user guide but was able to keep those from my original kindle am much happier with my UNK kindle no UNK and no freezing there are also several things really like about the kindle first love the convenience of ordering books on the kindle the process is much faster and more convenient than with my old ebook reader which required usb connection to my computer have also found that kindle books are often cheaper than the books was buying for my old reader that always bonus the battery life on my kindle has been awesome charged it the first day received it have read six books on it and have only left my wi fi on when downloading books with that said my battery indicator shows that it still has over charge left just like with all products there are some features not that crazy about for instance would prefer page numbers at the bottom of the screen also the page turn buttons seem to be stretch for my fingers which sometimes leads to thumb UNK ve already found myself adjusting to both of these issues though since there are location UNK at the bottom of the screen can get feel for where at as reading so having page numbers doesn seem like that big of deal in addition ve found the kindle cover has helped my thumbs UNK less since now hold the kindle little bit differently with the cover on overall happy with my kindle obviously it hasn been completely flawless experience but amazon was quick to address the problem had with my first kindle and the replacement kindle has worked smoothly since its arrival certainly would not hesitate to recommend it to others 1 improved my reading experience bought the kindle because was starting to develop reading preferences that had nothing to do with the text size of book font or font size UNK of binding UNK or page color of older books found that more and more often was willing to put book down and stop reading it because of these needs or simply because the writing didn hold my interest with the kindle can download sample chapter read it comfortably at home and decide whether the book is keeper before buy it can read anything without regard for the number of pages or age of the book can easily increase the font size on the kindle display if my eyes are tired from long day at work which allows me to read on days when otherwise might not have with printed books found myself UNK page turn because have to shift to find the light for the left page or to UNK the book open enough to read the full line length reading the kindle is so comfortable that sometimes find myself UNK page turn as if reading printed book then UNK with satisfaction as realize it the kindle press the page turn button and don have to change my UNK at all the only problem having is putting the kindle down and getting some sleep haven read this much fiction in years the 3g service is great for buying new books from any location what surprised me was how easy it was to get the kindle onto my home wireless network UNK mac addresses use wpa2 with UNK and don UNK the ssid the kindle UNK all these UNK easily it takes much longer to get friend windows laptop onto my wireless than it took to start using the kindle on my network minutes do wish could see the first published date without turning on wireless 3g to view the book description in the kindle store would also prefer to select my own screen savers don see these as major issues 1 best thing ever revolutionized how read how much read and how much love reading all the bad reviews are just UNK picky about small things waited for months and read tons of reviews before purchased should have just got it so could have been enjoying it so great can read it wonderfully outside so easy to use download new book anywhere just great buy one and amazon is great to work with got it delivered in one day at my beach house while was on vacation case came early wonderful 0 totally confused had one wish too download books onto readable kindle but no no matter what try can not download from my pc onto my new kindle wifi perhaps did not understand wifi but always thought could download from my pc no way confused me back to UNK and paperback forget this new technology out money and my pride your guide book does not talk and understandable language totally confused 0 hard to use if you never receive it what bunch of bs you ship me the cover light for the kindle but will not even give me delivery date for the device 1 almost perfect but well like almost everything this kindle can do reading books wiki dictionary but the chinese support is very disappointing if drop txt format file in chinese half of them are shown as square UNK need more chinese font packages if this issue can not be fixed in short time ll return this item 1 should of bought the other one like my new kindle 139 version just wish had understood the value of the 189 version was used to the wispernet downloads with my kindle now have to be near wi fi connection and have password would have paid the extra money for the convenience but none of the info explained that 3g is the new wispernet 1 gift for husband bought it as gift and he loves it not sure the 3g option is really UNK do you really need to buy books when you are not near wifi connection the web browser feature is nice and all but the 3g connection in combination with display is not as good as my droid so is the 3g option needed probably not got it just in case though you never know 1 better and better but not quite perfect this is my second kindle the 3g wi fi screen in sleek graphite body the contrast is clearly improved forward and backward paging buttons are now on both sides and less click noisy and almost all of the features loved on my first kindle are still in place it bit lighter and smaller with no sacrifice of screen space the packaging is as slick as for mac from apple which means it couldn be better my quibbles now the contrast of the lettering on the keys white on graphite is less clear than the black on UNK of my first kindle and the keys are closer together making it easier to fat finger two at once the qwerty keyboard is still UNK in UNK UNK instead of UNK as UNK or computer so it necessary to be able to see the lettering to navigate easily can read the new kindle in dimmer light but now it harder to see the keys brighter white lettering should have been easy fortunately typing is not often needed for my purposes as reading device kindle has now moved up to excellent ll UNK my fifth star until they make the keyboard excellent 0 poor poor effort have no idea how well this kindle may or may not work because have not been able to get it despite ordering twice for some reason they fail to send me what ordered have never had problem before but this is really forcing me to look at why use amazon to begin with 1 kindle for canadian academic ve been interested in the kindle since first heard about them but up until the latest model it has been missing some key features that would allow me to justify the price tag improved pdf handling is what really sold me on this product read lot of UNK and articles which has meant UNK of printing the kindle solves this problem and it has lot more to offer as well my new toy tool arrived monday to very excited customer immediately charged it up and put to use my UNK information UNK about how to be kindle power user some of the things didn work the same as the kindle so information on changing the screen saver images was not helpful but in no time had pile of pdfs on there and started UNK classics from the various sites UNK project gutenberg etc that UNK to ereaders happily even found UNK history of UNK and pile of UNK to enjoy wanted to give the device good UNK before typing up review first the good bits the screen is amazing when pulled it out of the box there was plastic on the front and back thought surely the plastic had an image on it no the screen looks like it is the display sticker they put on things to make it look better than it actually does and the screen looks even better in full sunlight now they say it is 50 better than the kindle screen but my UNK has kindle and her screen is pretty sweet too regardless of how much better the screen is what is important is that can read this thing all day long and no headaches or fatigue other than what is normal when you get to the boring bits in books someday they will UNK reader that has UNK to UNK you with UNK to get through such parts in fact did one full day read full novel few chapters from book on UNK and various pdf articles stopped because UNK turned out the light would love to hear if such UNK reading is possible on the ipad the ipad had the features wanted but price too much functionality and back lit screen kept me away the big reason wanted the kindle over other electronic readers is the ability to annotate texts write in my books know that UNK people but it is how process them read lot of books too so annotation was pre UNK for me the full keyboard qwerty is excellent it is not too big to get in the way but not too small that it is impossible to type on thought would fat finger lot more too think ve fat UNK twice since bought it so the spacing is great for my big hands even what was delight is that that can even annotate text based pdfs am highlighting and UNK UNK on UNK UNK and it works fine there are some problems with pdfs but so far the functionality need is all there for reader want to keep it simple am easily distracted so had considered just getting the wifi version but the 3g comes in quite handy love to UNK great passages so kindle makes that easy can even select the text and UNK from right in the document that UNK link but can just as easily pop open the web browser and put it in that way too it is also easy to look up stuff without the urge to check email this is problem for me so limited web access is UNK there are work around to get more functionality in to the device but why if wanted more distraction would have bought an ipad or mini laptop btw am not going to connect my facebook to the device it does allow for that though finally it is super easy to transfer documents to my kindle they provide translation service look for the free one so you can just mail variety of formats to yourself and they are converted to something the kindle can read mobi for pdfs you have to UNK if you want them to convert the file or just send it as is have some of both but can remember always which is which the biggest problem for me is that some of my documents are larger even UNK than my service provider will let mail out so for those need to usb into my laptop and send them over now the bad as an academic need to UNK documents the native book format for the kindle actually UNK out page numbers and replaces it with locations that is huge problem there are work UNK like searching for unique UNK on google books but that is hassle UNK also has some web accessible help for this problem but this is serious problem that amazon should fix in addition to making UNK books harder it also make navigation of document that much harder another problem is that the book selection is still growing read very specific books some of which can find but the majority are not in kindle format yet this doesn bug me too much though because the last problem makes me hesitant at buying lot of books for my research work think if the solved that problem get the UNK UNK and need to fill the device with UNK of my favourite UNK and philosophy texts for what it is worth did buy UNK UNK of hope as know that text very well and was amazed that they even got the font right that might seem odd but it helps navigate the text scanned pdfs require bit of fiddling to make readable get lot of scanned articles images from UNK you can zoom but that sometimes makes the document unreadable because you need to scroll constantly the zoom UNK are pre set unfortunately but often with UNK and playing you can find readable mode for each document it is good thing have great eyes though and pdfs UNK page numbering which is super awesome related problem is that pdfs are large four UNK is not enough just getting started and have filled over half of that already what would be excellent would be sd slot even UNK so can have cards full of pdfs UNK by topics speaking of UNK books the collections feature is really great can imagine what it was like in previous versions the last thing and it is just something that makes me nervous is the kindle big brother control of your device it is wonderful that they offer to back up my annotations but not sure want those out there and the stories of amazon UNK your device are not fun to hear not sure what UNK is needed but also hope never find out final thoughts all in all am loving the new kindle it does all that need it to do and more it is really easy on the eyes and lot better on my shoulders than carrying around UNK of UNK now just hope UNK makes case for the kindle from 1 kindle is great so many advantages to traditional books lightweight no more tired arms reading heavy hardcovers in bed ease of ordering finished book in bed again and downloaded another without ever getting out of the covers as UNK this is lighter and more compact to carry on UNK than traditional book even paperback wait only 60 seconds instead of week for new book to arrive plus it costs less 1 it displays chinese characters really like this gadget it displays both latin and non latin characters including simplified and traditional chinese character although the chinese book titles display UNK sometime but the book contents display perfectly can now read both english and chinese books on my kindle 1 kindle 3g wi fi ll start off with saying that love my kindle ve been debating weather to buy one for the past months and very glad convinced my family to get me one as birthday gift it very easy to use so if you re like me and have been UNK it for awhile just go ahead and get one there is no back light which isn big deal suggest getting screen protector just to avoid anything like scratches you don need pc to purchase books 3g model which is working great for me as my pc crashed right before my kindle arrived all the other reviews have pretty much covered everything oh it comes with screen savers and you can change those because the ones it comes with are pretty UNK boring all in all great device 1 moving from k2 to k3 when purchased the k2 was instantly hooked and found that my UNK for reading was greatly increased am not going to say UNK damn portion of that UNK UNK from the technology of the k2 reader itself my initial purchase was the k2 the stock amazon leather cover and the mighty bright reading light pretty standard setup from what have read of other k2 owners after some of the UNK of the k2 wore off however began to have two issues first really didn like using the mighty bright as far as lights go it was fine but didn like the weight and balance and didn like depending on additional batteries second and really the more important was noticing that the contrast of the k2 was such that was using the mighty bright not just in low no light situations but sometimes even when there was UNK amount of light such as the lamp by my bed when used my bedside lamp with traditional paper books always found it to be adequate do wear glasses but have no visual UNK that cause me to require extra lighting now am using the k3 wifi 3g and the amazon leather cover with built in light my issue with the mighty bright is completely solved the light in the cover works well although perhaps the very bottom of the k3 screen is not as well covered by the light as would like the weight and balance are fine and love that the light works off of the k3 battery have not used my light enough to determine how much of drain it is on the k3 battery with the better contrast of the new display can say that am using the light much less now when using my bedside lamp do not have to use the k3 reading light would have to say problem basically solved as far as the refresh rate goes was never unhappy with the refresh rate of the k2 so the k3 is fast enough for me do not find myself waiting or UNK my reading pace any more than when turn page on paper book pros all of my issues with the k2 were basically addressed if not solved cons would still like to see more improvement on the screen contrast also and might be missing something is there way to separately turn each radio off it seems like you have both wifi and 3g on at the same time have figured out that you can manually UNK from local network but that doesn seem to turn the wifi radio off that is just small complaint hardly use the UNK anyway except to download my purchases or the occasional sync update check great job amazon this is great unit 0 not wi fi okay this device is supposed to be wi fi enabled however it does not allow me to connect to my network type in password and it tells me it is wrong talked to UNK told to use wep key didn work talked to kindle and oh well sometimes it doesn work not good answer downloading via usb on computer is not easy many steps very disappointed thought could point click transfer not so 1 it wonderful kind of knew how it would be had been keeping tabs since the first kindle came out so knew what wanted this kindle has delivered 1 must buy if you like to read think that if you are looking just for an reader the kindle cant be beat the ipad is nice if you need or want to do more then reading like look at email my friend has the nook it is small and felt cheap to me also the pages dont look as crisp to me another friend has the sony which felt as well the pages were not as crisp and he also said you have to hold it certain way so you dont get glare on the screen the kindle in my opinion has done something really well and kept it really simple so if you are looking for good way to read books by the kindle you wont be UNK just wish we could share books with other people maybe someday 1 kindle the service was fast but dont know anything about them yet bought them as christmas gifts 1 wonderful pocket library now have about 200 plus books and monthly magazine in my new kindle carry it every time leave the house and when am waiting for something or someone have my library of books in my pocket that can read any time anywhere also can read inside my house without getting up and going to the bookshelf for new book am impressed with the kindle reader it convenience it capacity and the volume of books magazines etc that is readily available 1 awesome this product is absolutely UNK am amazed by it the books come in so quickly and the clarity is UNK 1 way better than my kindle received my new kindle yesterday and decided to write this review as so many of the negative reviews caused me no end of worries as for my experience have had no problems with the new kindle connected to home wifi easily no freezing or UNK rebooting issues and seems to work beautifully it did freeze once during the set up but think that was because tried to make it do too many things at once and just confused the heck out of it restarted it and it has worked perfectly since no problems when using the dictionary as others have had let hear it for electronics lol have used kindle since it release and totally loved it except get spotty sprint coverage from my house not huge issue the 2nd release kindle when they went global used att but not mine decided to upgrade because of the wifi and the lighted case frequent middle of the night reader was delighted and surprised at how much improved the kindle is as sat comparing it with my kindle side by side the contrast is amazing and find reading in low light situations is very easy was much more difficult with the kindle love the placement of the buttons for page turning they simply seem easier to use and very much like their smaller profile as the kindle is overall much smaller it also is better fit for for my small hands thought all of the it will disappear in your hands and nothing between you and the reading experience stuff was bunch of marketing UNK but am finding that this device indeed does just that much more so that the kindle which loved love the smaller bezel the UNK keyboard rarely used it the lighted case and the grey color find it easier on the eyes than the white maybe because in the kindle it was lot of white as for some of the features web surfing etc ll never use it really just want to read with my kindle nothing more so there you have it UNK to amazon this is big improvement now excuse me have some reading to do 1 even better than the k2 and didn know that was possible this is for the graphite 3g wifi have UNK and thought it was the UNK best thing ever don get me wrong it completely wonderful but after reading about the longer battery life brighter screen and smaller form of the new k3 had to order one could not believe how much more beautiful the new screen is the background almost UNK and the words just pop ve actually spent quite few minutes studying the sleep mode pictures just because they are now so detailed that can make out things hadn seen before yep UNK was pretty cute but this is not about sleep mode pictures this is about the crisp text this is about being able to click on link in blog and getting an actual web page instead of bunch of UNK numbers this is about getting used to turning the page when get to the last word instead of the last line because it faster this is about downloading books via wifi which is even faster than the 15 30 seconds it used to take oddly enough haven had chance to really test the battery life yet ve had my k3 for all of days and ve worn the battery down twice however that included downloading 500 books blogs are daily of those are UNK surfing the store surfing the net reading for about hours and showing off my new toy to anyone who comes within 10 feet am at 25 on my second full charge did have it plugged in for about an hour while downloading but the rest of the time the activities were done on its own juice the wireless has been on the entire time to contrast with my k2 if left the wireless on would have to recharge it every days since get so many blogs and that with only downloading or books if only turned the wireless on once day to get my blogs it lasted about days so considering all ve done this is doing great glad it not touch screen color ink would be nice but so unnecessary for regular reading if they come out with color dx might get it for magazines there is no eyestrain since it not backlit and have read it outside once so far and going to do it again as soon as UNK this review amazon has another winner love this thing 1 refined and affordable my favorite reading device as an owner of kindle and an ipad was bit skeptical about the utility of the new kindle had since gifted my previous kindle to my UNK and was enjoying the reading app on my ipad exclusively so with much UNK decided to give amazon third gen reader try with the caveat that it had better impress the heck out of me to UNK the kindle ipad app reading experience somewhat to my surprise it has even though the screen is smaller the third gen kindle has lot of upside and at new low price opted for the wifi only it terrific value without getting into all the additional ipad functionality which it should have for the additional asking price will try to compare the reading experience of the ipad to the kindle kindle advantages the screen is truly more UNK to long reading sessions amazon has UNK up the contrast from last gen model and it makes huge difference liked the kindle but was disappointed in its UNK contrast even in decent lighting not so with the kindle text is UNK dark and joy to consume even in areas that do not have ideal light conditions by contrast when you re reading on the ipad it like reading computer screen while ve never had problems with eyestrain don find the bright backlit UNK as UNK especially after working with computer screens all day form factor the kindle reduced size is perfect for holding while the bottom of the ipad will UNK need to be UNK on surface or your lap at some point the kindle can be held up by one hand and UNK for long periods in short due to the minimal weight and size there ton of comfortable reading positions kindle UNK operating UNK if you need to look up the definition of word on the ipad you just touch and hold it since the kindle lacks touch screen functionality you will need to use the arrows to locate the word also ve noticed some lag as the kindle searches in the dictionary to bring up the definition while amazon has made some nice UNK to speed up the kindle os responsiveness there still some delay when doing page turns looking up words highlighting etc the ipad is super fast at all these low light reading UNK as stated before the kindle has made remarkable improvement to get the contrast as dark as ink technology can provide but this technology has the inherent disadvantage of requiring light you cannot read your kindle in the dark and you will not enjoy reading it where there poor light amazon has UNK included backlit case as an option but at 60 it UNK the low cost advantage somewhat while the latest kindle is far from perfect amazon has found compelling cost value UNK considering that not long ago kindle were UNK for 300 the lower price points will surely bring readers even further into UNK consumption and now that the kindle has beautiful dark contrast slick refined form factor and reasonably fast operating speeds can recommend it enough as the best reading alternative out there 1 makes reading even easier as college student in an engineering school find much less time to read then used to half the time do find myself with some free time the book want to read is elsewhere or start book only to realize it was bad purchase and rather start something else the kindle has made it easier to get around these and other problems and has definitely UNK my literary UNK it is very easy to purchase books for it they arrive on the device near instantaneously and you re ready to read books are generally although not always cheaper than their paper hard back counterparts and the selection is generally rather large if book is not present in digital form you can add your UNK for amazon to get rights from the publisher reading on the device is great far better than reading on computer or phone screen it is very UNK to real paper and is great on the eyes text size is easy to change and navigation is simple the device is light thin and easy to hold in one or two hands all in all great purchase especially with the recent major price drops 1 just recieved one my sister in law just gave me one as gift about 30 minutes ago so am charging it right now will have better review later so far just having one gives it stars well have used my kindle for few weeks and love it have only used it for reading short stories from my authors that collect and new ones have been wanting to try so much better than paying full price will still collect the ones in hardback and paperback that have on my shelf but trying out new authors at low price is great she also gave me leather case and so keep the kindle in that it really makes it seem like am reading paperback book have not had any problems so far with turning pages or ordering from the kindle have not tried out much of the features except for making the words bigger and that is good feature to those that are still on the fence say get one you ll love it 1 it got better at first it worked wonderfully granted didn have the opportunity to use it much for first few weeks after purchase really started heavily using it this week today when woke it up from it screensaver of sorts only parts of the screen woke up others stayed on the image after repeated resets sleep UNK and the like the screen us unique UNK of shades of grey black and white it UNK to be defective screen cause ve been nothing but UNK with it thus far the casing and the unit does feel rather fragile for such complicated piece of electronics find it interesting that the screen is changing which parts work even just sitting on my desk update the kindle is great device though don use mine as often as should the second one they sent has had no problems at all so that an improvement still disappointing that after pre ordering the wi fi only version that had to get second one right off the bat 1 the kindle UNK and UNK inexpensive for well made electronic device star perfect display to read off of you won understand unless you see it person star electronic versions of books are cheaper star you don get the paper version of book star searching for books on the kindle itself can be bit frustrating at times star nice added feature of the limited internet access great for checking email star very light weight nice and small and quite thin star kindle accessories covers appear bit over priced at this point star navigation and refresh speed is very quick star very portable star you can play mp3 on it my personal favorite star total stars 1 exceeds expectation this was my first reader after looking at the kindle for long period of time and going to check out my other options nook ipad sony etc decided to jump on the bandwagon and order let me tell you it was one of the best decisions have ever made it gives so much convenience to read on the train and on the bus never have had it freeze or anything and am so happy with my purchase 1 k1 to k3 still the best ve been kindler since UNK 08 there is rarely day go anywhere without my UNK k1 it has worked like charm from the first time opened the box and it still going strong and on the original battery when the k2 came out talked my father into getting it for my mom got hers set up and running for her and got to try out the k2 new features there were some very cool upgrades from the k1 that liked the text to UNK the way the dictionary worked the thinness of the device and the capability of turning the wireless on within the menu the only fault of the k1 in my opinion the wireless button on the back of the device was big fail especially since ve always kept it in cover however even with all the great features on the k2 decided to stick with my k1 and hold out to see what was next since all do is read books on it anyway the two devices performed UNK in that respect when k3 was announced my husband asked if wanted it UNK said no because my k1 was still perfect in my opinion and ve been little curious to see just how long my k1 will continue to perform but because log on to amazon quite frequently the UNK of the k3 kept calling my name really loved the size of this model ve often wished the k1 was just little smaller in my purse so after some serious consideration finally UNK and ordered the k3 at the end of august my delivery date was estimated to be sept 17 but happily recieved it sept 13 it is everything hoped it would be got the 189 model with the wi fi and 3g it hooked flawlessly to my home router on the 3g end do get the edge signal in my area and don think it quite as strong as the sprint signal was on my k1 accessing the whispernet signal when away from wi fi on this k3 seems to be little slow sometimes but its still been possible this isn big issue for me anyway as ve always preferred shopping for my books on my computer anyway because it so much faster and once one clicked then turned on my whispernet and downloaded the books and turned it off to save on my battery sure ll do the same with the k3 only shopped for books on my kindle when was really in pinch and away from my computer as expected love the k3 size it perfect with the blue lighted cover also purchased its about the same size as small paperback novel also loving the lighted case it lights the screen perfectly at night when read in bed ve only had my k3 freeze on me once when was trying to access facebook had to reset to get back to the home page however won be using the kindle for facebook anyway so that was not big thing to me on side note also have an ipad lot of people have asked me why want kindle when have an ipad well size and weight are two of the biggest factors there is no way can carry my ipad around with me in my purse if did so would have severe back and shoulder pain for sure also the glare on the screen when you read in sunlight like like to do when UNK in car and even the glare from bedside lamp is very annoying and makes it impossible to read also reading for any extended time on the ipad greatly UNK my eyes even if adjust the brightness settings really like my ipad for lots of things but reading books for extended periods of time on it is not one of them another UNK my son bought my daughter in law sony reader couple of christmas ago and she had so many problems trying to get books onto the device it wasn even funny she bought couple from the sony book store and never could get them downloaded even after numerous calls to sony support she said it was UNK very expensive UNK finally this year they were where they could afford another reader since the price had come down she was UNK the nook kindle UNK her not to go the nook since knew how well the kindle performed and amazon great book selection plus the free 3g service kindle has is no brainer in my opinion then read that target was carrying the kindle and encouraged her to go look at them she finally bought the k2 and has been super pleased with her purchase she said she cannot believe how easy it has been to operate from day the kindle in any form is by far is the best ereader on the market today if you are on the fence trying to choose between kindle and any other reader please go with the kindle amazon knows what they are doing and they offer the best book selection and service the one click buying feature to get kindle books is the UNK thing in the world go with kindle 1 the revolution is here all need to say is that gen will hardly read book any other way as they UNK up with this device and its UNK it UNK shift all right 1 simply great reader wow what could possibly say that hasn already been said with over UNK reviews to date well will simply give my experience with the kindle since that is unique and perhaps could help you in making decision here are some quick personal observations my wife and have had our kindle UNK UNK k3 with the graphite design wifi only for days now and simply found it joy to use right out of the box was skeptical at first about buying the k3 because don have small hands but found it to be quite comfortable and pleasure to hold with the new generation leather covers black for me UNK brown for my wife it adds more realistic book reading experience also having handled the nook the k3 is much lighter and won cause fatigue even after hours of holding it and the page turns are nearly silent and respond quickly am also amazed at the speed in which documents and books are downloaded onto the k3 amazon says in under 60 seconds but in reality it is less than 10 seconds on wifi amazon may have UNK the download UNK to avoid unnecessary complaints should it take up minute to download that may be the case for larger books but you will be very pleased at how quickly your books and docs will download on the k3 very impressive if you re like me and have large UNK of documents that you can convert to pdf form and want to store them on your kindle you may find it difficult to comfortably read pdfs on the k3 to UNK this read my pdfs almost exclusively in landscape format so if you are buying the k3 to handle lot of pdf docs you may want to consider getting the dx so far ve not found this to be huge issue and the k3 price is attractive over the dx concerning reading pdf docs one can utilize amazon zoom feature but in my opinion it is not very helpful the zoom will not properly UNK to the whole pdf document so if you wish to read using the zoom feature you will need to hold down the shift button and move the directional arrow accordingly ve found that to be somewhat annoying but definitely not anything too bothersome the k3 does best at what it claims itself to be book reader it appears amazon spent lot of time attempting to perfect device that makes for great reading experience and the UNK here are some of the bells and whistles that are standard on device like the ipad personally too much color UNK and web surfing options can be distractions in the context of reading the ink and black white display give an UNK book page experience perhaps the person who reads magazines frequently or UNK books may find this distracting but don seem to mind it the k3 is impressive in it genre but don press it for its web surfing ability though it is not that bad in this area the text to speech is okay nothing great almost feel like stephen hawking is reading my book to me and it would be nice if there was female voice option that the dx model has but after few minutes you get use to it moreover the text to speech does not work on pdf transferred docs and some book publishers will disable this feature the k3 is very user friendly you will be very comfortable with it in the first hour of use and on the way to setting up collections for your books and documents the only real negative have come across is occasionally one of the buttons on the letter pad gets stuck to be precise the letter gets stuck out of position and requires UNK tap to put it back in place this has happened to me few times now but no issues with the other letters because have larger hands the typing feature is little difficult but so far have not found it to be annoying the lack of page numbers will take some getting use to and will become more of an issue if you want to read books that are academic in nature this have found to be somewhat bothersome but the highlight and text feature does UNK some once you have highlighted the paragraph or sentence or made note concerning it you can navigate to the go to category and read your notes or highlighted paragraphs because ve only had the kindle days can say very much concerning the battery life initially charged it out of the box and have been good since but can tell will need to charge again shortly an reader for 139 that will store 3500 books and documents in matter of seconds is great deal to me not to mention many books are discounted in the reader format this was especially an attractive feature for me when discovered that many UNK works from the early church fathers were under buck or free for the serious book reader who is looking for quality reader the k3 will deliver 1 overall good device some software updates would be good ok so going to try to keep this short since most people looking to buy kindle are going to read ton of reviews want to UNK the following points and touch on few things other reviews haven mentioned in much detail additionally like to note that not comparing the kindle to other readers comparing it to the traditional style of buying physical book and reading it which only makes sense since this readers are being billed as replacement to physical books and not substitute or addition pros light unit meaning you can read for long periods of time without noticing it the battery appears to be as good as they claim ve had the wifi on and have been reading and browsing the store every day for the past week and my battery is only UNK about 5th fairly confident could get month out of the battery if turned the wifi off the screen is great it really is very similar to physical page though not 100 and the page refreshes are pretty snappy the page turn buttons are great they seem very slightly flimsy but think if they were any more UNK they be too hard to press the physical placement of them on the unit is great cons there no way to customize the screensaver images as far as can tell the pdf viewer needs to have fully customizable zoom rather than just full size fit to screen 150 200 and 300 have pdf books with odd margins and the zoom needs to be set at UNK or 130 to UNK the screen real estate but can do that currently the kindle UNK at the top of the unit is distracting it not big deal and can understand why they have it there but wish they had just kept it on the back of the device this is big one the progress indicator progress bar that indicates how far along you are in the book always shows up at the bottom of the screen and can be disabled not only does this waste screen real estate but it also distracting realize that physical books have page numbers and all but those usually appear in the bottom corners of pages and only take up few UNK the progress indicator is in the middle of the screen the screen could be little bit bigger amazon UNK that the kindle is about the size of paperback book but the screen is significantly smaller than the unit itself have the font set to the third to smallest size and condensed characters but find myself having to flip the page fairly quickly because of the size of the screen the keyboard could be condensed to make room for the larger screen the keys are decent size but feel like there too much room between them things to release in future software updates give us the option to disable the progress indicator or at least the option to disable the visual progress bar and just have the percentage complete in the bottom left or right corner let us customize the screensaver images the ability to use our own images would be great but at the very least like to be able to go through and disable certain ones make the pdf zoom fully customizable pdf documents have all kinds of different margins and don want to change the screen orientation everytime read different one the cons ve pointed out are minor ll admit but will say that find the progress indicator very distracting this is great device though and that saying something because ve been UNK the book movement for quite awhile one minor note although this doesn have to do with the kindle directly like to say that wish book prices were little bit lower can buy used physical books for couple bucks sometimes even UNK and yet lot of books are 12 99 or higher wouldn mind paying 12 99 if had the option to resell it but that one of the things that isn possible with books however do recognize that there are some great free books out there in addition to all the classics that can be downloaded for free or with very little cost it be interesting if amazon would have special deals on different books each day and month like how they have different mp3 album for 99 every day and 100 mp3 UNK for each month realize publishers might UNK at the 99 price point but let me tell you buy scary number of books if they were 1 worth every cent and more my 3g kindle is less than days old it literally UNK you through the UNK and although was under the UNK that it came with preloaded books the kindle is the best electronic UNK that have purchased was reading UNK book and was up to the fourth chapter looked inside the kindle store and there it was purchased it and in seconds the book was in my kindle ready to read am in awe of the technology involved in manufacturing this and thoroughly happy with my decision to purchase this instead of the barnes and noble nook would highly recommend anyone shopping for an reader to purchase the kindle as it is head and shoulders above the rest of the field 1 worth the money and it drawbacks this is my first kindle it improvements in this generation and the drastically reduced price made me go bit backward from an ipad or that what thought initially starting from the top as person that has no experience with an reader the packaging was simple UNK friendly and very UNK top marks like the fact that the screen goes to static with the picture of some author on it the best part of this when you actually pick it up and start reading it was the ink display make no mistake you can lose yourself by reading book on this device an UNK that can attach to no other reading device it is UNK to the eyes and can easily be done for extended periods of time without being tiring like traditional lcd tablet the built in usable space of UNK is UNK considering book come to anywhere from UNK that gives you enough for 000 books UNK range and enough for me it supports good amount of formats the most UNK UNK is the epub one but ve done okay converting my ebooks by using free software called calibre to the mobi version which kindle supports that worked out well giving me readable books the general build quality of the kindle and it provided UNK is extremely good UNK UNK that will explain later especially the grippy texture on the back UNK with it good size this comes to hand much better than tablet especially the apple kind with no such tactile UNK now for some UNK drawbacks the keyboard letters started UNK off after day haven got anywhere close to the kindle UNK battery life of few weeks with the wireless off the kindle lasts for days with normal use and wireless off maximum on most books the price difference is UNK for the digital and paper versions since would UNK be able to give my friend paper book that ve finished would love to lend him book that have in my kindle some pdf are way too big to read UNK on the kindle screen ve tried to find zoom function to no result this would be appreciated the organization of the books is bit clumsy currently on page UNK in the menu after ve transferred some of the books that had in my computer it would take UNK amount of time going around and organizing them into categories to be updated in conclusion the kindle is not without it UNK but everything is put into perspective by it low price it will never be replacement for UNK tablet but it is the best reading experience that couple of electronic UNK can provide by long margin the best 139 ve spent on amazon 1 upgraded from 1st generation kindle was one of the first to get the first kindle and ve absolutely loved it kept it til now and decided to upgrade for k3 international wireless the additional memory and the lower price like to keep my entire library on my kindle made possible on k1 with the sd card but it drove me nuts that couldn sort the books and UNK the ones ve already read with my new k3 was happy to discover that can create collection and sort by collections so ve created one collection finished and move the finished titles into it they re still available to see if browse the collection but they don clutter up the list of all the unread titles should also mention that can see difference in clarity of the text on the screen was happy with my first kindle but this one is even better 1 best thing since sliced bread wow have had my kindle for weeks now and absolutely love it have read two and half books already not bad considering am UNK on full time basis and can only read some evenings it is so easy to use books download quickly and the size is just perfect especially like that don quite know how many pages have read or still have to read and somehow it allows you to just enjoy the book without feeling pressure about the thick UNK of pages to get through it is must buy and am going to get my sister one for her birthday she reads more than do 27 10 10 have now read books on my kindle and still UNK in love with it have absolutely no complaints battery life is great page turning easy the only negative is ordered cover at the same time as ordered my kindle and the kindle model changed so now my cover is too big gave my sister her kindle on sunday for her birthday and she is hooked too 1 UNK in UNK reading devices received my kindle few days earlier than expected after few minutes was very comfortable in UNK my UNK would recommend this 3rd generation kindle to anyone in the market for an excellent reader there absolutely no strain on the eyes or buyer remorse do yourself UNK favor and buy the kindle 1 totally worth waiting for let me begin by telling you that am from india why is this so important well because saw couple of reviews where some international kindle owners were not too happy about the product while that is totally ok have problem with the way they have UNK their country specific issues to extend to all other countries that is not true at least not in my case my kindle works fine and has UNK in everything amazon claimed it would UNK now about my title well amazon made me wait for nearly month to set eyes on my most wished for item was little UNK about that but come september 17 and was UNK UNK on amazon not only did it arrive on time it was UNK so efficiently that almost UNK out in joy beautiful five stars on that too so how does the kindle fare let start with the size UNK just right an inch smaller and it would have been difficult to hold in one hand this is saying lot because have these really useless UNK hands they are so small get nervous to hold UNK UNK love the graphite finish and yes it does looks like product that jumped out of apple UNK it has that classic serious gadget look about it which UNK me no end one of the reasons didn want to buy kindle was because it looked bit UNK and cheap in that god awful white shade this graphite version is pure eye candy am also very impressed by the UNK back really helps with the grip although wonder if it is the reason my UNK UNK not sure on that one folks now the most important thing the screen it is unbelievable my brother nearly UNK my kindle on arrival when he tried to peel off the instruction sheet from the screen turned out the sheet was the screen it really does look like real paper don go by the UNK you have to see it to actually experience it and the contrast the contrast again you have to see it to properly appreciate it the text is really crisp and so close to the surface it sort of comes out of the screen the kindle really does serve its purpose in replacing paper books you rarely miss them do miss turning pages though that brings us to page turns must say it bit slower than my expectations but it not annoying even that weird white black white transition is not at all irritating you get used to it in about minutes how good is it to shop too good no UNK no glitches it connects like magic and shopping is just UNK you really do get books under 60 UNK everyone complains about the browser don UNK any particular UNK for it either but it does what it was meant to be doing get through basic browsing nobody said you can enjoy you UNK and facebook using the kindle talking of facebook that little feature where you can share UNK passages with others via facebook well can comment on that because don think would be using that or most others for that matter it kind of UNK feature that one my only real problem is that can UNK my files in my preferred way can associate them mind you but don care much about that function prefer putting them in UNK folders also now that am finding UNK it would have been more convenient to put that power switch on the top it awkward when have to use it from its current location at the bottom all in all the kindle3 is UNK fabulous little creation it lets you carry your entire library in ounces without missing those lovely paperbacks it stylish portable glare free and well worth that 140 and the wait stars all the way ps also wish amazon would ship power adapter with the kindle for its international customers was little sad when they told me would only get usb cable to charge my kindle it really hurt guys but the kindle rocks 1 so far exceeds expectations ordered two kindle devices wi fi only on august 30 for my wife and myself and they arrived yesterday these are our first dedicated ereaders although have looked at handled and researched at least dozen different devices over the past 18 months really wanted an epub based reader because have lot of books already in epub format which have been reading on my iphone in UNK that UNK me from kindle for long time the sony readers were interesting but pricey and the nook hasn been extended to the canadian market almost bought the kobo reader but was waiting for them to UNK the hardware glitches when the kindle arrive on the UNK and was also available direct to canada right away the size format the exceptional screen contrast quality and the wifi made the kindle stand out still UNK for while because of the epub issue and reports of some initial software issues on the kindle but then decided it was the best option since we have only had the kindle hands on for less than day now can give an in UNK review but can UNK confirm what many have already discovered and reported in earlier reviews the screen clarity and responsiveness is easily the best have seen in current ereaders amazon thorough documentation user guide detail and prompt ebook delivery system are flawless and UNK UNK we had already bought books and had them pre transferred to the devices within few minutes they were both on our secured home wifi net and registered and the books were on the devices that was about as simple and user friendly as any electronic device gets the book was UNK reading on my kindle for iphone app opened up on the same page was at just as advertised so far we have had zero freezes or re starts we upgraded the kindles almost immediately to the latest software as soon as we saw that option appear on the settings menu so maybe that helped did little bit of browsing and text to speech and had no problems although definitely they are not intended for prime time yet everything works and the devices are better than expected in every way so far have calibre so intend to do lot of converting of epub to mobi to put my other books on the kindles little bit of work but UNK my only wish is that someday kindle UNK compatibility to the epub format what killer ereader it would be on that day 1 best ereader hands down the kindle latest generation is hands down currently the best ereader on the market have been reading books in electronic format for several years now am college UNK and have read well over 10 books in various digital formats my first ereader was the sony pocket edition which was my first true portable book reading device have also used the nook as well as both the 1st 2nd edition kindles my favorite by far is the latest generation kindle the kindle is the perfect size easy to read but small enough to hold in one hand while sitting on plane in doctor office or just about anywhere there are few minutes or hours to pass the thing fits in my lightweight UNK which carry almost everywhere for work and would fit in all but the smallest women purse here are the biggest advantages to the kindle over the other book readers books can be downloaded from almost anywhere via the whispernet service computer is not necessary unlike my sony ereader and books bought through amazon are UNK better priced than identical books bought through or sony the same books found on google in epub format can be manually downloaded to the kindle and many of them are already available on the amazon online store the user interface is easy to understand intuitive and fast try changing font size on the nook you will see what mean bought one for my mother in law an avid reader who has difficulty figuring out her tv remote control see her account on the amazon website she is UNK of the on line world and she buys between 10 and 15 books each month she is 80 years old and no longer UNK on me or my wife to drive her to the bookstore be sure to get the leather cover with the built in light know it is expensive UNK the cost of the device but it saves the hassle of carrying an external light for reading at night or when more light is needed pure simplicity the kindle latest generation has UNK higher resolution but did not think this too big deal until saw how pictures look compared with the kindle photos are UNK clearer and look more like true picture versus looking like UNK UNK the web browser has been upgraded but still requires using the way toggle switch to move the cursor on the screen this makes it clunky and difficult to use for any real web surfing not to mention there is no flash or video capability but does make it useful for accessing viewing email UNK account information or relatively simply website such as wikipedia speed is much faster while connecting via wi fi as opposed to whispernet which uses cell phone 3g technology many of the UNK of the kindle are at least in my experience UNK the ipad is no kindle killer the same way UNK UNK is not netbook killer an ipad is great for web surfing video and UNK but is big heavy and virtually useless in bright sunlight the nook has color touch mini screen under the main eink screen which shows book covers but this is more of UNK than truly usable interface sure with nook you can lend books to friends those with nook and only once per book for up to two weeks why not upgrade to new kindle let friends borrow your entire library for as long as you want that is what am doing the only thing on my wish list the the next kindle would be UNK or UNK like those found on the newer blackberry to move the cursor around the screen do not personally like touch screens have had bad experiences with them in the past on other devices with slow response times screen freeze problems but would love to see way to move the cursor in more fluid fashion than the current toggle switch amazon keep up the good work the latest kindle is by far the best dedicated ereader on the market 1 best kindle yet and great improvement over previous awesome devices best kindle yet and great improvement over previous awesome devices was an early adopter of kindle have kindle have the newest kindle the size is even more perfect than past comfortable devices it speedy the contrast improvement is UNK love and highly recommend the lighted case have had zero problems connecting the wifi bought the 189 version with both 3g and wifi to multiple networks adore the fact that the UNK reading speed for text to speech is even faster than k2 and yet still highly UNK the controller is superior to k2 five way UNK miss number keys and was always fan of user replaceable battery and sd card but you can have everything graphite is great color sound like UNK but am ecstatic about the newest kindle and the experience is by far the best so far and ve loved amazon ebook reader from the UNK days haven read low review that has made any sense in its criticism except where people were UNK enough to get UNK device 1 first kindle love it if you are looking for an reader look no further this kindle is small easy to hold easy to use and has features such as being able to share particular line of text from book directly to your facebook account my only mild complaint is that numbers are not on the main keyboard you must hit the sym button to enter numbers an extremely mild inconvenience overall highly recommend this item 1 kindle 3g graphite after finding out that the kindle would be released quickly returned my recent kindle purchase thankfully was within the 30 day return period right away as UNK the kindle was extremely pleased it looks and feels great plugged her yes its girl in and was so excited when she began her start up after re downloading my previous kindle purchases decided to try to find my home wireless network and set it up this is where my problem started the kindle refused to connect to my wifi rebooted my kindle still not able to connect rebooted my kindle still not able to connect decided should try turning the kindle off letting her rest and then trying again she woke up and found my wifi like charm maybe she just needed to get used to her new home whatever the reason she works like dream now when she is away she uses her 3g when she is at home she finds my wifi with no problem as far as the screen and updates from the kindle could not be more thrilled with my purchase her screen is bright clear and easy to read her lighter body is comfortable and portable she can hold my entire library in fewer than UNK what not to like would recommend kindle to anyone and everyone who loves to read 1 wonderful as ebook reader hate reading on screen have access to free online documentation or pdfs and still prefer to buy them in print but considering the reviews and the great price of the new kindle decided to give it try received today but am really pleased with the results had the choice between an ipad and kindle ok they re not the same but the main goal was as an ebook reader and in that area the kindle doesn UNK clear text is easy to read and it feels as comfortable as printed book pros easy to read light weight long battery life great choice of books particularly in the computer books field which is really not the case of the ipad and many books are not available in canada in the UNK store cons miss the touchscreen can be hard to type sometimes guess the older version was easier since it was bigger no colors of course the ipad has some great advantages but as an ebook reader my main goal kindle is probably as good if not better at much lower price of course 1 newest generation kindle must have for readers as new kindle owner 10 days now can say that it is device that is designed well for what it is intended to do the wireless connection worked flawlessly with my home wireless internet setup and the 3g network is real plus when you are on the go would suggest that if you do not travel extensively and would UNK most of your books over wireless connection the 3g would be extra that you certainly would not need as the wireless setup is fast efficient and easy to navigate the device is small enough and light enough to not be cumbersome but still large enough to feel substantial and well made it fits in your hand better than typical book and has very similar feel to paperback book without the hassle of having to hold the book open to keep your page the look of the screen is better on your eyes in the long run than book because of the ink technology the contrast of the words against the background makes reading breeze even in direct sunlight and in lower light conditions the addition of leather cover is plus as think it helps to protect the kindle screen from scratches and damage and also provides more book like look and feel to the unit would recommend this device to anybody who is reader and is running out of shelf space 1 just few thoughts about kindle have been reading other reviews of the kindle and like them love this reader it does what it is suppose to do be an reader that is it primary use and all the extras are just icing on the cake have the kindle which purchased last january and now my sister is UNK reading with the how nice to be able to share books since we are on the same account she is enjoying the classics again reviewers who complain and give one stars should give amazon customer service chance to UNK the situation pay attention to the shipping information and UNK and learn to be patient ordered my kindle on september and received it three days earlier than expected on the 17th many many more customers had to wait longer than did but patience won in the end and we received our readers our newspaper had an article about reader vs used book stores today and amazon is selling UNK kindles to every 100 books according to the paper if you want to free up bookshelf space have plenty of books to read on vacation etc without adding lots of bulk to your suitcase not have to hold heavy books not loose you place and UNK the UNK of reading then the kindle is for you 1 wow bought this for my wife she is delighted with it the screen is very cool my wife is an english teacher not terribly technical and she was up and running in minutes no joke this is somewhat UNK but was really impressed with the packaging they paid attention to the little details and it shows it makes your first experience with the device feel like you re getting something special most electronics purchases come with crappy box bad UNK wrap horrible UNK that are impossible to cut boring manuals etc not this the kindle is now on my short list with the UNK UNK and apple ipod in having very very cool out of the box experience there is UNK UNK UNK that perfectly fits the device UNK to the bottom of the box the screen protector rather being attached to the screen itself is UNK to the inside of the top of the box no feeling like pulling the UNK off UNK you literally open the box and turn on the device brilliant packaging was very impressed UNK at may 2011 this product is so good bought another one this time for my mom for mother day she loves it 0 would be nice if can turn it on received my kindle this morning after much anticipation was so excited and took day off from work to sign for package since don live in UNK building couldn turn on my kindle even after hard reboot 20 seconds of holding down wait another 20 seconds for screen to flash and reset while unplugged tried hard reboot twice with kindle tech person on the phone with me amazon is replacing my kindle and supposed to have it delivered tomorrow this is my first kindle ve been using the free kindle app on my iphone so needless to say am disappointed maybe will have better luck with my replacement so will be reading on my always reliable iphone tonight 1 fantastic ereader just got mine in today sept 09 2010 and love it already was actually surprised with the ups driver pulled up and dropped it off as had ordered it on august UNK so was not expecting it to come until around september 17th but somehow ended up getting it week earlier then expected after getting it setup and loaded up with the ebooks had purchased while waiting for it started to read it is very easy on the eyes the background is nice crisp white and the text is dark have already read half novel since getting it for those UNK complain about the background and text should remind them that UNK book pages tend to start taking on UNK UNK as long time book reader have great many older paperback and hardback books that have UNK pages and many older books have older types of ink had slight UNK problem so the text was slightly blurry so to me the text on this kindle is darn near perfect 1 great more than expected okay had heard of kindle wasn interested was checking out some books and noticed one was available in kindle so checked it out wow immediate download and the price was lower read all the specs free 3g wifi connects to my computer okay figured might be some thing nice ordered one it was here in days no think day am one that has to read all the instructions first was confused so before UNK it up figured would check out the telephone number for assistance first person reached oh yes know what you need hang on will put you through to some one that can help you minutes later was downloading the books ordered and free ones wasn aware of have 10 books loaded on this slim little note pad type thing light as feather and now can go to my doctors office with no extra UNK and read from my current book or start another one while wait for my appointment take it outside or to the beach wow the 3g download is free can read and fall asleep my little book holds my last page and UNK up with me right where left off no trying to figure out what page was on when UNK off can set the print at some thing comfortable for me and completely enjoy it now am going to check out the accessories maybe night light for my before bed reading and protective case like how it is connected to my amazon account and can pick up book any time want am converted it is so much more than expected really did think it would be let down another one of those rip off UNK this one is star choice am definitely happy with it and would recommend it 1 UNK just got my kindle in the mail today have the 2nd generation also am dissapointed with having to wait forever to get it but am glad waited this has brighter screen so their is really no need for the light however can really fully test it yet am at college and can order any books for it because the college internet keeps UNK it from going to the amazon store for some strange reason can log onto the amazon store through their computer but with the kindle it won UNK or anything where am located at present when try to it freezes however UNK through the books manual dictionary that are already on their and it goes faster too can wait to get home and put books on it am already UNK to it and am just reading UNK their by default oh forgot to mention their is no number buttons unless you press the UNK see that as negative really use the number buttons lot in the web browser 1 first time kindle user and love it as big reader had run out of space in my bookcase then saw the kindle commercial and was hooked from the get go was impressed from the moment ordered it on sept 3rd arrived sept UNK via UNK shipping and am in canada to when opened the box so easy to open it turn it on charged via usb in less than three hours and easy to use read the quick start guide which was practically good enough so that you really didn need to consult the preloaded user guide which was in pdf and super easy to read once connected to our home wi fi network amazon automatically registered my kindle to me and transferred all my books sweet can only UNK what so many kindle users have said the screen is great it is nice and light fast page turning quick response easy to navigate menus could go on and on as this is my first reader ever did look online at the sony and kobo readers first but after reading so many great reviews and UNK about the new kindle on amazon couldn wait to get mine do wish there were numbers on the keyboard but that is minor detail as there are shortcuts using the alt key the voice on the kindle is UNK haven tried the female one yet but it does the job if you need to have it read something to you have downloaded so many free books and was easily able to create collections to separate them and found the prices of ebooks to be very affordable the battery life is amazing have had my wi fi always on and it is still full even after almost three weeks plus the delivery of the books to my kindle took not even ten seconds over wi fi all in all if you are considering getting an ereader get the kindle you won be disappointed word of advice though get case am waiting for mine to come before take it out anywhere 1 highly recommended for book UNK amazing product the best kindle ve come across am very impressed with this purchased the 3g version can safely say that read more after the getting the kindle compared in fact find UNK to find time to read all my friends who tried the device were also impressed by it pros its an amazing reading device the perfect replacement for physical book work around computers all day and the last thing want to do when want to take break and read is book is stare into another screen UNK into my eyes no thanks no distractions ve tried reading on the iphone and ipad but constantly UNK with UNK and UNK from various apps and emails and typically these UNK tend to get me away from my reading into some other activity no such nuisance with the kindle read and only read in fact with the graphite kindle the keys and everything else on the kindle UNK into the background and the focus is only on the screen so please stop comparing the ipad to the kindle if you are serious reader kindle can be beat screen its much better than the earlier versions contrast and most other ebook readers that ve tried size amazingly thin thinner than anticipated and much thinner than the nook fits in my UNK pockets UNK in case you need reference so just slip it in when leave home so have something to read if have time to kill page turns amazingly fast selection of books travel lot and no longer have to run to the library before trip to find book to read or search among the list of books have to find one like to read for the trip they are all in one place my kindle love that can read the book that suits my mood at the moment also amazon has very good selection of books in case need new ones cost of books one of the main reasons stayed away from the kindle earlier was that was library UNK and didn really want to pay for books knowing that very good community UNK infrastructure UNK to satisfy this need kindle does not yet support borrowing from digital library section of public libraries can we have this too please however post kindle have been able to find lot of free kindle books on amazon selection also ve come across lot of independent authors who publish their books on amazon for cheap typically for under there are discussion forums on amazon where such authors post details of their books and readers can respond ve discovered quite few good authors through this network also the cost is minimal and is about the cost of driving up to and from the library and paying the occasional late fees great travel companion again if you travel frequently and carry lot of guide books kindle is great replacement both in terms of weight and the ability to search through the book for something specific annotation notes love storing interesting useful information for later reference 10 battery life another reason why you shouldn compare kindle to an ipad tablet battery life for month on one charge sounds amazing so UNK browsing works ok maybe useful in case of UNK or for the occasional browsing but obviously no replacement for laptop smart phone music player rudimentary granted that this is an experimental feature but like to do more than just play and pause playlists displaying song names would be nice pdf handling much better than before but the screen isn quite good enough to read research papers UNK the bigger kindle would probably be better choice cons library lending lack of ability to lend books to friends or borrow books from digital section of public libraries price of kindle covers not really an issue with the device but at 35 the covers for kindle are pretty expensive 1 beyond excellent as an owner of kindle was more than pleasantly surprised with the performance look and feel my new graphite kindle with free wifi and 3g the size and weight are significantly less than my kindle the page turning noticeably faster and the improvement in contrast clearly UNK as use it more know ll appreciate the longer battery life and larger storage capacity too with my kindle tried various covers but could never find one liked better than the original amazon kindle cover miss it with my kindle for which purchased UNK UNK kindle UNK sleeve from amazon it comes in various color UNK is UNK for protection and is easy to carry but it isn as easy to use as the original kindle cover overall give the new kindle five stars and several thumbs up hard to believe the kindle2 could be improved on but they ve done it 0 great device with poor wi fi functionality just got my first kindle 3rd generation wi fi edition overall was very pleased with the device both in terms of built quality and usability however the major problem noticed right away was the wi fi connectivity issues am student and can only access my university wi fi network on campus to get connected for some strange reason kindle UNK my school network as UNK or enterprise which it clearly isn in fact kindle uses the school network as an example of network you can access understand that there got to be problem with the wi fi UNK but have no idea why while every other portable device can connect to any wi fi hotspot kindle has to be so UNK looking at this thing sitting on my table and not sure what to do with it would have never thought such minor thing as wi fi UNK could ruin the whole experience 1 totally converted decided to buy kindle after travelling in east africa and not being able to carry books let alone purchase any received my kindle last week and found the tracking service with amazon almost too good to be true from america to UNK new zealand totally accurate and all delivered exactly when promised have found the kindle terrific to use was little skeptical at first about the claims that one would get used to reading the format and forget you were reading device and not holding book but have found the transition seamless it is light and my lighted cover works perfectly was librarian and have been involved in the book trade for many years and have always believed that publishing would not be able to replace an actual book for me well will still buy books with pictures but will always look to see if novel is available in an book thank you amazon 0 overpriced book UNK device you too can purchase an amazon kindle an expensive device that allows you to pay more than retail purchase price for books so that you can have the UNK of UNK UNK restricted limited versions of the books that you may use on only one device allow only one person to read and will UNK when amazon wishes that they had charged you more and remotely UNK in to your device to delete it for you sounds like good deal to me if you enjoy being UNK off 1 from k1 to k2 to k3 is it worth it have been using my new k3 for about days now and thought share my UNK thoughts had the k1 which thought was wonderful if bit bulky and awkward with that thick side so was really pleased with the size and speed of the k2 even though didn like the initial fonts offered and found the print seemed lighter than the k1 but overall was happy with the k2 and that all improved with software updates and the UNK of the collections feature really helped organize all my books so was torn as to whether to spring for the k3 as overall was happy with the k2 have never run out the charge and have taken it on trips for more than week only charging it on the return but didn have global access and as travel overseas decided to upgrade to k3 and get the lighter unit with global access all at once at first the new kindle was bit of pain to tell you the truth as with all new electronics you spend the first days just getting all your settings back well amazon could help great deal here if they would let you set the new kindle to UNK your last used kindle the collections books and samples loaded on your home page instead you spend great deal of time on your kindle account page after registering or UNK your kindle downloading books and then UNK down and UNK all the samples you have requested then comes the truly annoying part and real mistake by amazon you have to type in and add all your collections before sorting all the books you just downloaded to the k3 amazons mistake is because the worst feature on this new kindle is the typeface it is black on black and very small my fingers hit multiple keys frequently and had to have really good light just to read the keys also you have to hunt for the UNK as they aren on the main keyboard so your first real interface with the k3 is this UNK when it could be easily avoided that said rarely use the type feature so once had the collections in and the books sorted was done with that and could actually use the k3 for what it was intended and read my books and that is where it UNK while it is smaller it is the lighter and thinner aspects that notice most it is even easier to hold in your hand for extended periods of time and the typeface is much UNK and easier to read remember complaining about this problem when UNK from k1 to k2 even called and complained to amazon they must have heard this from others because boy this is much better reading screen and it is faster faster download faster page movement overall do like this little k3 bought the 3g wifi version and am taking it with me to europe and the UNK next month and am looking forward to trying the global access feature will keep you posted on that so now am going to look at oberon and decide if want to buy new k3 cover still have my UNK king bag from the k2 and while it still fits and works well like having my kindle protected in UNK bag when UNK into my briefcase or luggage am thinking the new kindle deserves new cover we ll see 1 kindle vs ipad vs kindle this is my second kindle and it is far superior to my kindle never had problem with my kindle loved it so much that am giving it to my mother already gave one to my brother for christmas also own an ipad and yet still use my new kindle everyday while the ipad is great the reading experience on my new kindle is far better the glare and the distractions of the ipad find myself checking my email facebook etc every few minutes are too much when am reading recommend kindle for all serious readers 1 kindle latest generation love my kindle can buy new books anywhere it is perfect for full time UNK there is not much room in 5th wheels for keeping whole bunch of books also they add to the weight but with my kindle can have much bigger library without going over the weight limit of the UNK it is light weight and easy to use highly recommend it for all UNK and anyone else 1 the new standard received this last week was immediately impressed by the size and weight of the device however my initial UNK was UNK by the fact that the device feels very UNK and flimsy in my mind this UNK concerns about its long term durability or its ability to survive drop the screen is UNK sharper and the text absolutely jumps off the page for this reason ve had very little trouble reading in low light situations am still UNK by the button placement on this device and am unable to comfortably hold it without occasionally turning pages on accident sometimes it feels like am UNK more on my hand position than on reading aside from that the buttons are responsive and quiet and the page turns refresh are noticeably faster for reference purposes have owned UNK ebook 2nd gen kindle and nook of the three devices this is far and away the best device have owned in terms of just UNK hardware am not sure that can say the same about this device from software and compatibility UNK no support for the epub standard all in all am not sure that you can find better device at this price point 1 simply sweet this unit is incredible the paper like look of the screen the clear fonts the super fast book downloads the easy on line library manager the battery life and the 3g anywhere browser unbelievable love this thing everyone that sees it want it 1 love my kindle love this reading device my kids call me kindle mom because every spare minute reading it did take day and really great book to get used to but it was worth it so easy to always have book ready and the free books have been very satisfying 1 it simplified my life and changed how read in the two weeks that have had the new kindle wireless it has changed how read cancelled an expensive newspaper subscription and now just download issues of the same paper on the days have time to read it that one change actually more than paid for the cost of the kindle have gotten some books already and see that as the only way will read in general think will continue to buy hard copy technical and reference books that will keep for years especially if they contain illustrations but for my general reading don expect to read anything on paper anymore only on the kindle just today went to have service on my car and took the kindle which fit fine in large pockets have on my pants was able to read the paper and continue reading novel while waited for my car it really simplified my life no more deciding what books to take on trip just take the kindle it has everything want to read on it 1 my kindle is fabulous after grad school was UNK out on reading decided that it was time for me to get back into reading and thought purchasing the kindle would be helpful ve read three books already it is lightweight easy to take with you and great to read on took it with me to UNK and read until the sun went down on the beach unfortunately forgot my light 1 love my kindle was running out of room for books so thought why not get the kindle have had just few weeks but absolutely love it no more books UNK up want book just click buy it and you have it just like that 1 get kindle this has to be the best reading device ever made already couldn live without it the only thing that doesn work super well is the experimental browser but hey that not why bought the thing it says experimental for reason it not supposed to be the ipad if you read on this thing and only read you have the best reader available period 1 love it love my kindle the product was unstable out of the box firmware installed auto rebooted every or minutes but after firmware update to no problems works as advertised and my only issue is kindle has no touch screen having used touch screen devices for more than years tend to use the screen to navigate rather than the keys the keyboard and navigation keys lack UNK in looks performance but the reading pleasure on kindle UNK the UNK do not know if it just me love using my kindle at the park rather than UNK the screen looks much crisper outdoor rather than UNK 1 nice but has few bugs so far after three days of use generally quite satisfied with the kindle the fonts are crisp page turning is quick and responsive and the ergonomic design is well thought out however like many UNK here have been getting an UNK number of freezes with UNK reboots this has been much more apparent with the web browser but also has occurred with normal book reading people have commented about fix 01 believe where exactly do you get this patch and how is it downloaded 1 brilliant UNK having owned all three versions of the kindle can tell you this latest edition of amazon reader is the best love it size weight UNK for traveling the screen is excellent was going to purchase cover but have decided to just house it in sleeve 1 very nice this smaller kindle is very nice 3g allows quick downloads great way to keep many books at your fingertips needs slightly easier way to search in book am pleased with this product and the fact that amazon keeps your library for downloads whenever you need it very clear pages easy on your eyes when reading long battery life like it 1 avid ebook reader first impressions currently own sony ebook prs 600 touch and have owned the sony 505 and recently decided to purchase the kindle read every night and back and forth on daily 25 minute UNK commute to UNK and every chance get on the UNK take in UNK materials news and novels in fairly even UNK while expected the screen to be UNK better than the sony as is the case when comparing any new device to an older generation was surprised at the superior experience that came with web access email document delivery and using amazon kindle site the UNK of amazon purchased novels across devices in my case blackberry with the kindle app reading and moving around pdf UNK and requiring fewer key presses the browser is UNK more than adequate for my google reader and on line wall street journal use overall am glad went with the kindle and will probably move my entire library over to the amazon platform 0 another defective unit received my latest generation wi fi kindle last weekend it keeps freezing and doing all sorts of UNK things like failing to shut down no matter how long press the power switch going into continuous rebooting UNK mode and going completely blank customer service was quite UNK and responsive they listened to my description of the problem and immediately told me they will be shipping me replacement today they want me to ship back my unit so that they can test it to see what is wrong given the UNK with which they decided to address my problem by sending me new device and the UNK way they UNK my question about whether they were getting other similar complaints am wondering if there might be some quality control issues with the first batch of this new product 1 asking UNK to bring graphite latest generation kindle am current owner of kindle but not this one love my kindle but want this one for the back light and 3g it is UNK world to be able to shop on amazon for my books can download new book or magazine or newspaper in about seconds if any one is skeptical about not holding an actual book as was it is even better than holding book the newspaper no fumbling with the pages hurry UNK want my new kindle 1 simply awesome this is my first kindle and have to say am extremely impressed with the form factor of this device the way it fits in the hand how easy it is on the eyes the user interface everything is brilliant nothing new that hasn already been said in the previous reviews think of picking few up for christmas for loved ones very highly recommended 1 love it but needed to download firmware update to do so update having downloaded the firmware update the kindle now works flawlessly no more freezes no more hang ups no more UNK UNK to bought books am totally addicted to it the screen could be touch lighter but that is about it what would like to improve is this instead of the kindle giving me various covers pre chosen by amazon would like to have instead the cover of the current book am reading am sure this can be done recommend getting the lighted cover with it which imo is the perfect addition this is my first ereader device so have nothing to compare it to except the kindle applications on other devices ipod really like my kindle when it working this is my biggest UNK for this device it unstable had to reboot couple of times once had to delete book from the kindle and restart this is all UNK but it is pain in the UNK if am not connected to power outlet or in wifi area then cannot read still like this device but when am on the road make sure to have my ipod with me so can continue reading when my kindle is down am little disappointed in this product which otherwise would wholeheartedly UNK 0 the way the page refreshes is driving me nuts got the new kindle over the weekend and was excited given all the positive reviews here in amazon however when got it was sooo disappointed in the way the page refreshes when you click next and previous the screen changes fast but the way it does it is like page loading it turns black and then you see the page it very jarring and is driving me nuts wish it was more subtle or could UNK the page turns of book is this UNK anyone else do you think they can fix it with an os update 1 amazing bought it for my mom who an avid reader compact but despite that you can size the font yourself so she could still find comfortable setting very easy to read even in the sun this is meant to be an book so not looking for something with lights for nighttime reading easy to use was worried my UNK year old mom would have trouble figuring it out but she didn all on her own downloading books is easy UNK my only small UNK amazon be less UNK and actually include paper instruction manual know it 200 pages but for someone not too computer UNK to find the pdf and look through it can be challenging doesn help including it on the kindle itself you still need to learn how to use it in the end printed out the manual for my mom it froze once and needed hard reset happened when we tried to browse the internet definitely not meant to be used that way lost the data but it UNK itself as an book and an book only this is wonderful since then ve bought another as gifts for family just remember to UNK it from your amazon account otherwise any books purchased gets billed to you 1 well designed well UNK product the kindle is well designed well UNK product UNK don typically give star ratings because there are no perfect products and there are almost always significant and unnecessary negatives but that not the case here agree with the many other positive reviews which have gone into detail so ll skip and UNK somewhat the screen is clear and easy to read when first opened the box the displayed screen saver appeared as printed film to be removed the paper like quality is pleasure to read and of course the screen is exceptional in bright light such as sunlight what could be improved better resolution and color the new iphone UNK display shows amazing detail for such small screen this is due to the large number of UNK UNK UNK the kindle screen has 600 800 UNK but less UNK packed in larger screen the screen size UNK how close you need to be to the screen but the UNK affect what can be shown without panning or without loss of detail so while the kindle can display similar detail to an iphone if it had even higher resolution with similar UNK UNK it could display even more though the black and white display is most suitable for fonts and even most images are crisp clear and pleasing color would be welcome color would provide an improvement for graphs illustrations and images of course are these negatives for the k3 no the current pearl display is no doubt eink state of the art technology or nearly so the technology can and will be improved that all do feel disappointed by the display absolutely not wow ed by the display what else the web browser had hoped that web browsing would be UNK usable it is much better than that most web pages display properly page load time is about that of UNK up it could be better but it more than usable one trick is to turn off javascript it not needed for most sites and this speeds up load times esp near the end when the page can seem stuck mobile versions of web sites work well but even regular sites are readily UNK with either zooming switching to landscape mode or combination or using article mode which is an excellent feature though it doesn and can work for all sites am writing this review on my k3 no have laptop do use my k3 for surfing the web when go out or when lazy sitting on the UNK yes an UNK UNK create folder named pictures on your k3 you can create sub folders under it and copy over UNK UNK UNK or UNK files viewing the pictures is little UNK but it works requested improvements allow mp3 files to be individually selected and or provide some rudimentary playlists at least provide for some basic creation and editing of text files this would be highly useful for keeping to do and contact lists and notes always carry folded up UNK down paper notes the k3 can be so much more than just an excellent book reader it can be paper UNK so there is room for improvement but the negatives are either minor or understandable and the many positives are very high still just getting used to my k3 as it one of those game changer devices was going to hard copy print some emails the other day that needed to refer to but instead printed them to pdf and copied it to my k3 carry my k3 with me much of the time don know how useful it may become as the UNK wears off but it has lot of UNK potential 1 my first kindle my kindle came in the mail today and love it first thought the page turns would be problem but the new screen is fast the only problem have is the UNK of the number row overall everything is great 1 awesome reader it is compact easy to read light weight and great value for money perfect reader 1 vs the dx own both dx and also 3rd gen kindle the main advantages of the big one the dx are the dx is bigger which is to say that you can scale the text larger without loosing too much of the page content leading to better reading experience if you ve got older eyes reading on dx is more like reading from hardback book as compared to small pocket paperback it just more pleasant experience the dx is vastly better for pdf since most pages come out full size it automatically UNK the margins to make the text area larger trying to read pdf on the small kindle which can display full page is painful the UNK of the dx as compared to the small one are it big you can put it into jacket pocket it heavy wouldn want to lug it around and you have to rest it on something while you re reading no wifi the is better choice from connectivity point of view the lack of wifi on the dx makes it impossible to get browse new books in about 80 of my house where cell phone coverage is UNK thanks at the at UNK won connect to your kindle so that not solution also can access the cell phone network from either of the UNK that like to frequent the day to day annoyance of this lack is that can synchronize to the last page read if ve been reading from the dx because the device couldn get onto the phone network to register the last page read even when have or more bars the network access is painfully slow the lack of wifi on the dx has turned out to be annoying in the extreme and given the premium cost is really UNK amazon needs to fix this problem because the charging port is on the bottom of the dx and the device weight UNK you to rest it on your lap you can charge the dx and read comfortably at the same time generally prefer to read from the dx when at home because of the size but never consider carrying the dx around town love the fact that can slip the on into my jacket pocket which makes it great for commuting 1 kindle though wait too long due to out of stock got the kindle lot faster than amazon expected great read through many reviews was very worried about reading pdf not anymore it works fine only would like to see more zoom level than current speakers sound great compare to its size one drawback dont like for now is the keyboard since amazon dont provide us number keys the alt is available only on the left side it really UNK when want to input weight size as whole is great not heavy UNK gripping solid enough compare to its size would rate 10 1 most excellent ereader am thoroughly enjoying my new kindle turns pages quickly easy to read easy access to the dictionary can easily download books purchased on amazon com and it also works well with calibre after drm is removed my only negative is that the back is quite slippery wish it had rubbery UNK back like the kobo 0 kindle non delivery having ordered the kindle and appropriate UNK to operate with it using express delivery UNK with UNK for their arrival the UNK arrived total cost UNK UNK but where was the kindle then received an email to say that it had been returned without adequate explanation and gave me refund of UNK 48 but it actually cost me UNK 12 where the rest and what about the UNK this is no good to me without the kindle when contacted amazon yes they UNK but still well out of pocket and have UNK that is of no use to me feel that have been UNK from unnecessary UNK what do you think therefore if the UNK was delivered ok then why not the kindle 1 fantastic have to admit was little hesitant to get the kindle did lot of background checking on the nook versus the kindle and other such articles before ultimately chose the kindle am an avid reader and this device is so simple to use and to read from that fell in love with it today after only having it for few hours the text to speech capability is genius and the web browser is UNK good reading on it is just like book but with dictionary right there and very comfortable fit into your hand compared with the big books usually read keep it up amazon my kindle is fantastic and it only going to get better with time also note for the lighted leather cover it is absolutely perfect and the light works very well at UNK the screen it was little UNK UNK but my UNK have to be UNK so it was UNK good choice 1 the perfect reading device for me got my kindle yesterday and already have several books installed and must say am impressed if did not know better would UNK this thing has actual pages from books somehow UNK placed in it the fonts are UNK sharp and easily read against perfect background so much like paper this ink is far superior to real ink in my opinion love how you can adjust the font size and the orientation my only minor very minor gripe is the directional control have rather big fingers and at first it was challenging to use but found that fingernail placed right does the trick love the page turning controls and once UNK my fingers where to hold the kindle had no issues accidently turning pages read some reviews that gave the screen UNK when page is turned bad mark find this about as distracting as turning an actual page on an UNK book also love the screens that are put in place when the kindle is turned off very nice touch far better than just blank screen whispersync is also very good have kindle on my desktop pc my ipod touch and now my kindle and it works as advertised in summary would recommend this to anyone who loves reading as much as do having been lifelong reader love being able to carry my books around in lightweight slim and easy to use device that makes reading fun and easy on the eyes did find the kindle UNK as was UNK into the story and only device as well thought out as the kindle can accomplish that in short what are you waiting for buy one now 1 kindle 3g wireless am enjoying product very much only complaint is the built in light is not bright enough for bottom of page and it seems to light up parts of room by sending UNK to the sides 1 kindle store challenge the kindle is wonderful little device but don think ll be purchasing as many books as had thought for me the limitation is the kindle store not only is it strangely UNK but the books seem to be UNK UNK despite the UNK category list for example under nonfiction the first book on the list is the adventures of sherlock holmes this is followed by alice in wonderland pride and prejudice treasure island dracula and UNK UNK every child should know all of these are found on the first page and half of the nonfiction list and under other category UNK as well similar organizing which is to say surprising lack UNK is found in every category the kindle itself feels elegant and UNK the kindle store feels like UNK hour 0 disappointed serious UNK UNK the poor reviews thought maybe ll get lucky and not have to go through so much trouble to get kindle that works wrong received my kindle without it being pre registered and when try to register it UNK seeing four bars on my wi fi it keeps telling me it cannot connect at this time if this problem continues restart UNK UNK UNK after continuous restarts it has yet to connect even to the kindle store cannot believe how wifi could be UNK up when it has been UNK far before reader came out ridiculous no point in having wi fi if you can even connect 0 hopefully my experience is one time shot was never able to get my wifi to work was on the phone for hours with kindle and my UNK with no success ended up returning my kindle know people love them and may try again in the future but this time kindle was frustrating and was disappointed 1 kindles wireless 3rd generation have had my kindle for weeks and like it so far it is different than reading book but once you get used to it it is easy to read and hold downloaded quite few free classics to get started and have been enjoying those one of my favorite features is the whispersync because downloaded the free iphone app and the free pc version with whispersync can read from any of these devices and it will link to the last page read that is great feature for when am somewhere that did not plan to wait because can just turn on my phone and UNK reading when get back home to my kindle can start where left off when reading from my phone can read at night on my netbook and do the same look forward to not taking 10 books on my next vacation everything will be on my kindle 1 an academic perspective on the kindle kindle is the best purchase made since switching from windows to mac it literally takes all the little annoying things that got in the way of our pleasure out of the process while adding couple if its own it is the perfect device for an academic with lot of pdfs or books to read on the go never have to look for book on my shelf often have lot of books and like to switch books depending on the time of day and my mood am UNK which requires lot of reading material kindle makes this easy by having all the books in one place organizing books is not difficult but not perfect it would be best if kindle used folders so that you could organize books on your computer but the collections organization is not bad it takes little time to put the books in your collections when you first start but after that it is reasonably convenient recommend creating reading now collection if you are like me and like to have several books you are reading at the same time my own pdf library is at my fingertips with this device have hundreds of pdf files of academic articles and other things like student UNK that need to read at various times this takes all the hassle out of reading at coffee shop so do not need to take out my computer the added features of being able to highlight and make notes makes it perfect for academic use being able to email myself pdfs is also great way to get stuff on the kindle also use fonts in other languages so it is nice to have pdf support images show up beautifully here as long as the image does not require color to see it is great you may have trouble with color charts and graphs if they use color to UNK the data it displays all my blogs newspapers magazines etc flawlessly even better at times than when viewing on the internet get all my news and web sites blogs downloaded automatically each day using free software such as calibre it also organizes all your books and can convert sometimes poorly books in other formats to kindle friendly format the directional pad could have been done little better the fact that it is relatively small and close to other buttons means that you may occasionally hit another button my mistake the screen seems relatively delicate but have no experience in whether it will break or not given the hard plastic touch screens of most other devices worry about this one left out the other UNK UNK items such as the ink battery weight etc 1 love that kindle after many months of UNK finally bit the bullet and purchased my first ebook reader was UNK up between the kindle and another make but decided on the kindle because you don need computer to download books onto it as bit of techno idiot need things to be as easy as possible and kindle is certainly extremely easy to use ve now had my kindle month and am so glad this is the ebook reader chose love it it is awesome takes 20 seconds to download book and is soooo easy to read much easier than regular book totally converted doubt will ever buy paper book again thanks amazon for such an amazing product 1 terrific value absolutely terrific product at great price love the screen and the wireless connection 1 pricing of books was disappointed at the price of the first book purchased for my kindle it was priced at 14 99 at barnes and noble and your price was 12 99 plus charge for downloading to my kindle not really much of savings when you factor in the 139 00 for the kindle would have to purchase lot of books to make up the UNK 1 kindle 3g latest generation what is not to like sleek design great battery length incredibly crisp screen my only complaint is that am required to shut it off on airplane take UNK and UNK also in pinch the web browser comes in handy like when trying to check scores from an airport 0 pdf support horrible if your buying the kindle because you want small compact pdf reader forget about it reading pdf on this kindle is horrible it never renders the pdf the way it suppose to and while reading pdfs the kindle UNK just resets on its own the UNK continued no matter what kind of pdf put on the kindle the zooming is terrible also once you zoom in it doesn UNK to fit the screen which is what expected you find yourself constantly scrolling side to side just to read single paragraph the screen is just way to small for pdf you ll be better of with kindle dx or an ipad but rather the ipad don think the kindle dx will be able to read pdfs any better overall though the eink for the screen was gorgeous and if your trying to read ebooks and books you ve bought from amazon this would be great for you if your looking for pdf reader this is not for you 1 worth the money received my kindle the other day and am loving it it is in my opinion lot better UNK the sony or nook models that looked at in the stores it is very easy to read and almost forget its really electronic the kindle store wifi feature works well too would highly recomend this to anybody 1 was skeptical before had seen the 3rd gen kindle had never seen the ink display technology was skeptical the price point was right so bought it will never read paper book again unless it is essential and UNK on the kindle the text is so clear and the size is adjustable not old but the small print and cheap paper of most books will strain my eyes the kindle makes everything so clear and wonderful was UNK in the 70 was raised on electronics and their displays most of you were too can stress enough how different this is from regular display what you see on the amazon web page can do justice to what you get it like the ads for UNK tv in standard definition sure that with the huge demand there will be UNK units that the nature of electronics hope amazon deals with these UNK issues well love my kindle ve already read two books on it in three days there are negatives to the kindle if you like to show off the things that you read it will be difficult if you like to have important unread books on your shelves the kindle will do you no good if you want to read for yourself the kindle is the perfect choice 1 better than great ve only had my kindle for day now but must say that in my UNK opinion it is the greatest invention in the written word since the invention of the printing press the pros about the kindle would fill volume and the cons thus far can see any 1 what kindle this kindle ok now that ve had some time to use my new kindle am now changing my review to UNK it does all it promises to do and more its quite easy to use the wi fi works fine although would not use it as computer for its not as fast as my pc of course while the pdf reader is ok still is lacking somewhat many books are found on pdf format but this kindle is not that useful suggestion use laptop for those 1 get your kids to want to read got this for my daughter for her UNK birthday and she loves it she big reader and with this she can carry around library with her she also takes it to school because they have to have book to read every day the kindle makes sure she always has one at hand and she can read several at time each book opens to the last page read so no more book marks to fall out one really nice thing is that lot of the classics are free so she has instant access to all of those too this was on back order when ordered it and it arrived week earlier than the estimated ship date she had it weeks and is still on the first battery charge even for kids who don like to read it such cool device that they want to use it if you want to get your kids into reading this is the way to do it another great amazon experience 1 love my first kindle love my first kindle it is much better than expected it gives me more UNK reading experience 1 kindle wi fi had to wait while to receive this product but it is well worth it it saving me lots of money with downloads vs printing and downloading books vs buying UNK 1 kindle love it so far easy to use now won have stacks of books all over my house my husband will be pleased 0 kindle latest does not work well with pdf with scanned images just received my kindle like the size and light feel of the device reasonably good contrast screen most importantly the long battery life bought this device primarily due to the new added feature of able to open pdf documents this allow me to refer to some papers which want to keep handy at the side without worrying about charging the device frequently the long battery life also make it convenient for reading while travelling so downloaded several pdfs to it the first thing that happened is that kindle UNK on the pdf with scanned images it froze and had to be reset page flipping is slow very slow looks like my expectation is too high the processor in kindle is just not up it with images update the kindle froze several times over the last two days UNK of either bad quality control or bad design update am trying to think of some good use of this useless pdf reader device not wanting to go through the trouble of returning or selling because am located in UNK after purchasing several titles was told by the UNK to update my country setting when updated it to UNK it did not allow me to buy any items setting it back to united states will only repeat the update country settings looks like not only the device is badly design the UNK is also badly designed for people using it outside of united states so now have practically useless kindle which does not open pdf well does not allow purchase with country setting other than united states ask for country to be changed when set to united state but using outside of united states having being so disappointed by this product just purchased UNK wifi 3g ipad yesterday and is happily using it for what it was advertised for downloading title to ibooks is such joy watching the title UNK on the UNK shelf and making page flip is so pleasantly responsive with no UNK like those in kindle UNK the user experience with amazon update sept got an email from amazon UNK me that they fix the outside of america usage problem 1 better than expected took me awhile to warm up to the reader concept nonetheless love my new kindle it stands to UNK reading for me the way UNK revolutionized tv watching will UNK be doing more reading 0 good but needs work have to admit that have only had my kindle for two months and have only downloaded about 20 books while the kindle is great the books are full of spelling and UNK errors almost like the conversion has been off UNK the formatting compared to paper book leaves lot to be desired will continue to use my kindle for free or low priced books but will continue to pay for the UNK object which by the way is not too much more than the kindle edition for whatever books really want to UNK reading 1 love my kindle ordered UNK reader from borders had it less than week and it broke then ordered kindle and love it UNK the book holder without the light first and then returned it ordered the one with the light and love it it does show less light on the bottom of the page but you can still read it it is nice to have the light as an extra feature even though you may not use it would UNK recommend the kindle 1 so awesome thank you for finally making it easy to read almost any book we love the kindle 1 love it researched between nook sony pad and kindle went for the kindle live in small town where sometimes signal is quite hard opted for the 3g wi fi made the right decision buying and download of book was easy and quick literally less than 60 seconds learning how to use your kindle was also easy UNK new cell phone was harder learned how to use mine in minutes the greatest bonus were the UNK free kindle books they were mostly classics but who would mind reading the greatest reads ever written if you are UNK the 50 difference of wifi go for the 3g its worth it love kindle 1 was k1 user waiting for this k1 vs k3 so had the first gen kindle know know should have waited for the kinks to get worked out anyway loved loved loved my k1 and was UNK when it recently died on me literally used it everyday so now have the k3 and there are some considerable changes from k1 to k3 so will do the UNK for those who were k1 thinking about upgrading contrast amazing when comparing the two it almost makes the k1 look little blurry battery well haven had it the month but ve been using the wifi almost non stop and have used only quarter of the battery k1 would be dead in about oh days text to speech got to tell you this is pretty cool k1 doesn have this feature at all and to have it now is neat think like reading you bedtime story will say this that if you use it on the default and not slower speech it seems to skip words or breaks in paragraphs kind of UNK to me but still enjoy the feature page turning UNK fast that all can say sleep mode on k1 you press alt and the font size button to put to sleep little annoying but not terrible however on k3 it very easy slip of the slide button memory okay no sd slot but UNK is plenty really digital time need say more page buttons it takes little getting used to wish they were little bigger but there is absolutely no accidental page turning and they are on both sides which is great because UNK downloading books wifi is faster than whispernet not that it was ever slow unless you have lot of content to download internet it great feature but didn have my hopes up about it mainly because it not color which is fine but with ink it makes it hard to read right off and it bit slow to navigate the zoom in feature but it wasn deal breaker buttons ok they are smaller but easily UNK do however miss the number buttons you have to hit sym now to access on screen wheel no more wheel love the cell phone type button square so sorry don know what to call it it so easy to use there is also no silver UNK and don even miss it it shows that it working up in the left hand corner with moving UNK nice size it fits well in the hand and is considerably thinner than k1 which also takes bit of adjustment like it though can fit it into any of my UNK now overall feel it doesn feel like it will slip out of your hand neither did k1 because of the rubber like back but k2 is slippery tested friends color got the graphite after having the white for so long it welcome change and won look UNK in year folders for your content so wished for this on k1 and now it here love that can sort my collections into UNK of my choosing it makes finding your UNK or the new stuff you haven read yet easier if you group it that way password you can password protect like it because if god UNK lose it or it stolen can protect my account till can UNK or just keep out the UNK overall really love the new device and can UNK about it till the UNK come home and then some but what really want to say is that the kindle was the best money ever spent when it was UNK and it the UNK and best ever spent at 139 enjoy 1 kindle3 getting better better the best reading device ever as UNK by everyone in my family with kindle we have k1 k2 and k3 no complaints UNK year old has k3 with wifi only and she keeps it with her always she like the UNK series by UNK UNK 0 not that happy with this product this is great item and it has been established as the leader in the field of electronic books the only reason rated this star is because for major purchase it should come with full user guide so that all the UNK of the device can be readily accessed one can go on line and print the user guide but you will need at least ink UNK and UNK of paper as it is 200 pages in length find the lack of an included user guide unacceptable 1 kindle love it received in good order timely and as requested really love the kindle 0 buy new kindle don think so bought kindle about years ago since then have downloaded and read countless books from amazon continued to use kindle because had it already and decided that had better take it for its few good points and UNK the many things that find cumbersome annoying or UNK irritating my short review would say don buy kindle the books are too expensive 14 95 for electronic and 15 95 for hardcover for UNK newest harry UNK like to be able to go back to parts of book when am reading novel for example if the author UNK to conversation from 40 pages back want to be able to go back to it and re read it with paperback you can do that but with kindle you are out of luck another big problem for me is that even when my kindle was new it would sometimes freeze up when turned page have to remove the battery and wait for the screen to clear then re start the UNK in order to continue reading also have rarely had book download in minute without going to my laptop manually downloading the book from my account then hooking up my kindle to drag the title into the document folder not big deal but not exactly instant if you are taking an extended trip and want to be able to read many books while traveling or if you are often in situation where you want to UNK read something boring meeting on the treadmill waiting in the docs office UNK duty then the kindle may be for you the last thing don like about the kindle is that it just doesn feel like book won be replacing any part of my kindle when it goes with the pricing on new kindle books prefer to have the real thing then at least can hand it on to someone else 1 beyond my UNK everything is far beyond my UNK read and read while walking every day want the back button to be placed little bit far from the controller button sometimes miss touched it hope UNK would be available soon anyway amazing reading device 1 my new favorite gadget have only had my kindle for days and can put it down love it just bought my mother one for her birthday after told her all about mine and let her use it she was hooked she is so excited she can hardly wait for hers to come in the mail it is easy to use lightweight and you don have to worry about what to do with all of your old books no more UNK go green get kindle 1 what not to like this is my first kindle and have to say after using it for few days love it read lot of reviews good and bad while waited month to get my kindle understand being disappointed if you received defective unit or if you had high expectations for cyrillic fonts etc other than that what not to like about the latest kindle sure would like the page turn buttons to be higher so that could hold my kindle differently but that no reason to rate this little wonder badly just grateful that live in an age that you can buy small lightweight device that can obtain most any book most anytime for mere 140 00 not to mention storing thousands of books keeping your place with out book UNK that keeps falling out being able to define words by highlighting them and adjust the font size and line spacing etc if you want to search the net use computer if you want to simply read without holding on to big heavy book and constantly UNK with book UNK get kindle 1 love my k3 love my k3 even though had k2 and loved it wanted to purchase the latest generation kindle because of the smaller size without losing screen size faster page turning and the darker font contrast the k3 is perfect so happy made the decision to buy it 1 great device with exception the new kindle provides in my opinion the best dedicated reader experience available right now have sony reader and nook and prefer reading on the kindle over both of them the only thing that remains source of frustration is the lack of real page numbers this is the only thing stopping me from giving this device star rating other readers have integrated this very well and at this point is my one remaining criticism of the kindle at the very least let me have the option to switch between location percentage or page numbers really at loss for why amazon has UNK the community on this 1 UNK UNK he UNK UNK UNK con amazon esta UNK UNK UNK un UNK al kindle UNK solo le UNK UNK UNK UNK eacute UNK UNK en UNK las UNK en espa ntilde ol muy UNK el text to speech en espa ntilde ol muy UNK el wifi UNK el UNK por internet UNK si UNK por internet por eso UNK que UNK UNK UNK que en la UNK oacute UNK UNK oacute de software UNK que se UNK la UNK una UNK oacute al UNK que se UNK por un precio UNK UNK UNK UNK amazon est aacute UNK que la UNK por internet UNK ser UNK 1 love it bought this for my wife and she hasn put it down it was super easy to register and was even easier to download books so easy in fact that need to find lock for this so my son who UNK doesn buy anything on it cool feature is this game on it well my favorite my wife used to get UNK at me for playing video games in my spare time and guess what she does on this device play games it has cool game called every word that gives you random set of letters and you have to guess all the names to advance the biggest surprise of this device is the screen it looks UNK tried to peel it off because it looks like the plastic display screens that cover most electronic devices the screen looks like page out of you re favorite book complete with black and white illustrations still can believe the screen looks so good it impressive this is great buy for the price recommend to anyone who is looking for this type of device 1 kindle rocks pdf viewer still needs improvement so ve been hold out for quite awhile now really wanted to wait to get kindle until felt that the technology was up to what would need for grad school and this kindle comes very close it is the first and only ebook reader will ever own because of the lack of the backlighting hate reading on computer screens and the keyboard yay for taking notes for class the pdf technology still needs some work which is why the stars tested in various ways and these were the results direct transfer this was the best method that found the transfer through usb directly to the kindle gave me page that could rotate and then click through to read self convert used calibre to convert and they file became too un UNK in size and it made the images worse and the text much smaller amazon convert would have loved this to work well however the article sent was two UNK on page and what came back was UNK the text was appropriate sized but the conversion did not read the two UNK making it impossible to actually read the article as each line jumped UNK while the direct transfer works it is not perfect but feel that it is still better than reading through it all on the computer or paying for printing which could be hundreds of dollars year as any other grad student knows overall am so happy that held out until now to get kindle and imagine much enjoyment of this current model with most of the best features of the previous models thank you amazon for UNK fabulous product 1 my kindle review well am not going to go through all the positives and negatives that others have covered will discuss what personally like and or dislike it has worked flawlessly so far ve only had it 24 hours but ve almost finished book was really UNK between the kindle and the nook and have been trying to decided if wanted the nook mainly because of the touch screen instead of the keyboard on the kindle am touch screen person and prefer that even though it uses more battery the thing that UNK it today was wanted to read but had to make UNK UNK for work then take the dogs to the UNK what to do turned on the text to speech now if that had been an audio book it would have been horrible robotic no UNK miss UNK words etc however because it is reader and knew that to expect it was awesome to be able to still read and get the things done needed to do hopefully some day it will be improved upon but for what needed it for it worked great that is what made me decide to stick with the kindle also am disappointed that it does not convert epub format since have about 60 of them but hope to see it added in future upgrade along with an touch screen like the nook am not new to ereaders as have had sony 505 think it is going to be personal choice and it great to see some UNK which made the prices drop paid UNK 99 for my sony two years ago happy reading everybody UNK 1 love it recommend it owned the original kindle this is where really learned not to be an early adopter although liked the reading ordering experience of the kindle right away along with almost everyone else UNK the page turning button placement and design it was so bad it completely UNK the value of the unit for me hardly used it finally it died did extensive comparison shopping before bought the 3g version the drop in price also helped as with the first one the selling point was the ink technology simply cannot read back lit screens for long with any comfort reading ink screens is like reading paper page also of course after the initial cost there is nothing to buy but reading material no monthly access fees all tops on my decision making list so kindle 3g arrived last week pros with this unit they learned from their mistake and changed the page buttons almost eliminates hitting them by accident they also redesigned the standard protector cover for it extremely well this has tiny hooks that go into UNK on the left edge so the kindle stays in place securely unit is lighter weight than most paperbacks and about as large as closed book can carry it easily in my handbag and read almost anywhere even standing in line larger font option is terrific especially for UNK eyes love the voice guide UNK have not used very much as yet like that the last item reading goes to top of list and it goes automatically to page left off love the search option am now using my kindle regularly and am very pleased still getting used to navigating and other features besides reading no have not read all the instructions UNK assume other reviewers may have covered this and will try to find them for UNK but you knew there would be UNK these are UNK only don consider them to be deal UNK in any way they do deserve mention though biggest UNK power port and audio jack are at the bottom of the unit causing the UNK to stick way out this is extremely poor design can be the only person who reads with my UNK up and the bottom edge of the book against me can do that with this kindle when using power or UNK yes can UNK and read but when home in bed don like using up the battery and then having to plug it in before can go to sleep haven purchased the UNK and having that plug sticking out has to be bummer for UNK why oh why don electrical engineers get over the need for UNK that stick out get in the way of use and are more prone to damage they should have put all the plug UNK at the top and designed horizontal if not UNK plug UNK can see battery status while reading book UNK standard holder cover does not stay open so either have to remove it from the holder or read two handed the holder adds enough weight to make it even heavier than paperback can hold with one hand but lose that light one page size advantage UNK wish there was one button for getting back to the beginning of books it takes clicks to do this side UNK would like title of book and even author name at top of pages UNK they still haven figured out how to put normal paging on each screen page what up with that those useless to me position numbers should be internal and toggle to display regular page numbers can the machine count shouldn have to bookmark or add note that ll have to hunt up when all want is to UNK page number tiny UNK while plugged into power like to be able to set the auto shut off UNK higher not thrilled with the tiny UNK keys either but then this isn computer and reality means either size benefits or large UNK not both those are my observations after couple weeks of use look forward to lots of use and more game development for it too 1 email and import into the kindle any pdf or word document you have love the fact that can just email myself at my personalized kindle email UNK any document and it will be delivered to my kindle bought the wifi and 3g version because nothing can beat free 3g for life 1 new to readers just got mine delivered yesterday and ve already spent few hours reading and absolutely love it surprised at how comfortable it is in my hand in now way is it awkward the screen is very nice to read off of and is really no different than reading print my eyes never got tired at all unlike when read off lcd screen was very against getting an reader for years but am now very glad decided to take the plunge and get the new kindle it an amazing little piece of tech and know ll be using it for years to come or at least till they come out with the next model 1 an excellent device previously had kindle and as much as loved it the contrast wasn the greatest on the kindle the words literally seem to pop off the page also love how lightweight it is it noticeably lighter than both the kindle and the nook if you re like me read for hours at time the lighter weight and higher contrast compared to other ereaders definitely makes the kindle an excellent choice 1 kindle bear received my little kindle bear today and it was well worth the wait UNK year old man in love with machine lol had to call cs to help me out with the update and downloads do not have the 3g model and just cannot praise the people there enough they were extremely UNK understanding and UNK 0 sadly disappointed am extremely disappointed with the new kindle am UNK by all of the positive reviews that this new kindle has been receiving when turning pages or switching screens the screen UNK and UNK to black background with white text for good second and then returns to its normal screen and color it reminds me of UNK bulb that is about to burn out or an electronic plug that is not pushed in all the way it is extremely hard on my eyes and have no idea how people could be satisfied with this product am so disappointed because have been looking forward to my kindle for many months can wait to get my money back and never look at kindle again 0 so far so bad updated only had the chance to play with my new kindle for day the second day couldn even turn it on the battery was full but no luck this kindle came with the back UNK half open suspect it was badly hit had to return it am disappointed but still hope my second kindle will be in better condition let see also noticed the software can be hugely improved hope amazon will take care of this in future software updates update received the second kindle but it worked for couple of days only buttons don respond and some other issues fed up with this thing returned the second kindle too and bought nook now am as happy as UNK nook works like charm plus has color touch screen for only 10 more than kindle 1 why is the product so UNK it is wonderful product with lots of hype but dont be UNK by one day shipping etc there is at least week to delivery from ordering and they are not available at target at all in our area 1 reading made easier enjoy reading but my schedule and locations often make it difficult to get my hands on book of interest as spend lot of time on airplanes for business ve been UNK purchasing kindle for some time after UNK the product with another traveler who was using one in flight decided to spend the very reasonable sum on the newest version received it last week ordered dozen books and jumped right in in three days of part time reading ve already read two books the kindle is easy to use with reasonably good UNK for organizing one books haven played with the experimental features like the browser so can comment on it the experimental mp3 player needs more flexibility so one can organize one music audio into folders and or playlists for its primary intended purpose reading it works very well the screen is clear and legible turning pages is quick enough faster than turning the page in conventional book the ability to change fonts and text sizes is handy but the default works well enough as is the controls layout works well but do occasionally find myself turning pages accidentally don know what suggest to UNK that UNK and practice suppose like that can read using only one hand either one or both if it more comfortable the ability to charge the kindle via usb port on one computer means don have to UNK additional UNK around with me same is true for my droid phone while UNK can upload or download music data between the computer and the kindle handy feature when received my kindle last thursday evening charged it fully it now monday morning the device has been either in the reading or sleep UNK 20 80 since the first charge with the wi fi enabled for the past 85 hours approximately it been in close UNK to wireless router the whole time so the 3g connectivity hasn been UNK the battery indicator shows something less than half charged at this point at this rate would have to charge it after less than one week of use quite acceptable really on the other hand could turn it off overnight and disable the wireless connectivity and the battery would UNK last much longer satisfied with the UNK of the battery also downloaded the kindle readers for my droid and the netbook that travel with the ability to sync my reading on any device so that return to the last page read regardless of the device used to read it is very handy now that have the kindle probably won be using the computer or the phone to read books but it nice to know that could UNK out the droid read few pages and not have to try to find my place when pick up the kindle again the UNK between amazon my kindle website and the readers is very handy and well thought out liked the reader well enough that bought one for my girlfriend after only two days of ownership we travel full time in our UNK and we both like to read since they re both registered to my account we can share any books that we purchase at no additional cost if we re both reading the same book we have to turn off the above mentioned UNK an easy task mine is black hers white although she had hoped for pink one pleased with my kindle and expect that ll be spending lot of time with it the ability to wirelessly download almost any book magazine blog in seconds from almost anywhere is feature that really makes this product what an age we live in 1 book lover dream come true ve had my latest generation kindle for about weeks and can honestly say love it ve been an avid book reader all of my life and this item is wonderful all of the books you love are within reach and you can carry them with you wherever you go the kindle is easy to use sleek and worth every penny like the fact that you can listen to music while you read have the kindle read to you connect to the internet and buy books or even look up information about an author on wikipedia ve just begun finding out all of the great things this kindle can do even getting to the place where not trying to turn the page wish had gotten one sooner 1 make believe received my amazon package today it was leather cover without my kindle tonight going to sit in my UNK and open my kindle leather cover and play make believe 1 love my new kindle this is my second kindle my first was the first and it is still going strong after two years and by the way using the same battery too my husband is now enjoying it bought because of the price and features and have not been disappointed it is pleasure to use and has performed as promised there is free kindle user guide on amazon also great support from customer service and forums on amazon if had to find fault it might be with the keyboard which is very small and could be problem for some people who have large fingers hope that with the price drop more people will now discover the fun of the kindle 1 love it UNK kindler since UNK 2007 my kindle UNK wifi arrived september after my august UNK was very pleased to check its delivery status during the days after the early UNK and to watch its progress was like little kid at christmas when got home that night and opened it it was intuitive to use immediately especially since ve used my kindle almost daily since receiving it as christmas gift in 2007 charged it with the adapter as UNK it and connected it easily to my home wifi network it came registered to my amazon account and preloaded with couple of kindle books had purchased while waiting for it and which UNK didn send to my first kindle amazon has made the task of adding fortunately not UNK which would mean removing them from the first kindle device my kindle library to the new device simple and painless have about 100 books and two remaining magazine subscriptions and they were easily added in no time over good wifi connection transferred some non amazon titles from project gutenberg using the usb cable connected to my home pc they were transferred almost instantly and UNK really like the user UNK collections feature this is where you get to define categories like fiction classics and non fiction or philosophy or whatever and add or remove your titles to them you can even place any given book in more than one collection and it will show up in all of those you add it to using the collections feature does away with the annoying problem of having to page through many pages of titles in your kindle library like have been doing with my kindle now using my collections all my kindle content is found within page turns of the new kindle ve finished my first new book UNK UNK outstanding war read entirely on the new kindle and the overall experience was pleasure was able to page through it easily without any annoying delay in page refreshes and able to add bookmarks easily to return to later the new contrast between the ink and the screen is very noticeably better than the kindle and liked the old one already holding this kindle for long periods is easy especially when lying in bed on either side page turning forward or backward is as easy as can be for right handed or left handed UNK recommend getting amazon leather cover for it whether it the lighted or UNK version opted for the UNK version and it arrived few days before my kindle did the fit is near perfect and it is much much better than the clunky amazon cover included with the first kindle in 2007 that one never fit right and it seems to have been designed separate and apart from the kindle device itself as if an UNK and without having kindle UNK to design it around clearly the new kindle cover was designed around and with kindle UNK as its hooks fit just right and the cover size itself is obviously just right ergonomically for the device it is supposed to hold like the elastic string to hold it closed and to hold the back folded back when open but have bad sense that it will UNK or break with heavy use after about six months we ll see the kindle design team and engineers have obviously listened to previous kindle customers and have made many improvements from the first kindle gone is the annoying and almost UNK UNK hitting of the page turn keys on the side of the device when you pick it up gone is the frustrating little navigation wheel which was difficult to press down on without inadvertently scrolling up or down gone is the cheap plastic feel of the device this new kindle especially in graphite seems designed by an experienced set of engineers UNK in both the UNK and electronics of the device itself but also in the ergonomics of the use of the device by the user mention graphite as the better color choice primarily because think the dark color provides added perceived contrast between the text and the screen and perceived contrast is UNK to the ultimate experience of contrast to human eyes and UNK not just contrast that can be UNK from the screen itself also think the graphite color looks more UNK and less cheap than the previous white version have as for value what can you say thought the original UNK price of the kindle was good value for frequent UNK of new retail UNK books UNK to many UNK showed my kindle to how purchasing just one book month on average would cost about 30 in UNK versions versus 10 on the kindle therefore with the 20 per month savings UNK the device would pay for itself in less than year and half never mind the convenience of carrying around hundreds of books with you in light small device perfect for traveling and the often overlooked convenience and UNK UNK of being able to satisfy your every impulse with respect to having new books instantly the instant gratification of UNK new book you want and being able to have it in your hands in literally about minute is wonderfully satisfying and feels oddly UNK for those who don know once linked to your amazon account the purchase of new book from the device itself UNK no account number entering or credit card info it just matter of clicking buy now and it works seamlessly your amazon account is automatically UNK with the purchase the 139 price for the wifi version is no brainer for someone like me this thing is not only the UNK among readers now in all UNK but it easily the best bargain and value on price alone this is true even with many new kindle books being priced at 12 99 and even 14 99 amazon UNK the price increases they had to compromise and UNK the publishers UNK demands so don blame amazon for the UNK increases anyway after going kindle it hard to imagine an avid book reader going back to hardcover books and lugging them around waiting for their delivery and having to store them and keep up with them say this as someone who has lived with kindle for almost three years now and who has an UNK large UNK of paper books stored on numerous bookshelves bedside tables and stacked UNK under things and in UNK this is to thank the amazon designers and UNK and sales and customer service UNK for great device and reading and buying experience am very satisfied customer and UNK of the device recommend it to anyone interested or curious about it especially those who buy new books with any UNK 1 head and shoulders above the rest this is the UNK ebook reader hands down coming from an original sony reader prs 505 to the kindle is huge leap and the sony reader is one of the best readers ve ever used the page refreshes are extremely fast and the contrast is simply amazing the lighted cover is very worthwhile accessory as well 1 love it its ridiculously cheap for such great gadget my college textbooks cost more than kindle especially if you are college student with limited space for books would totally recommend this read before go to bed and it so nice to be able to chose which book to read and buy books so conveniently 1 so glad ordered this ve had this for few days but don see my opinion changing this is one of the best things ve ever spent money on love to read unfortunately lot of times only do it at home the reason being for that is because hate lugging around 400 page book now don have to the kindle has been amazing in the few days ve had it didn get the 3g version so can comment on that as for the wireless haven used it as can find something can hook into need to find the password for my home network that doesn bother me though as just plan on ordering books online and putting them on the kindle through my home computer want to resist the urge to buy books while am out and about that being said bought few books and have been reading one love the feel of the kindle really like the screen and enjoy reading this as much if not more than regular book it light and easy to carry around need to get sleeve for it too but for now it awesome am super UNK that finally got one of these and look forward to reading hundreds if not thousands of books on it 1 great device quality of the book is UNK really like the newest kindle however the book downloaded is not of the highest quality the book was UNK UNK UNK on the links which is great book however there were many simple typos names UNK and words UNK around it was very frustrating considering the original book was written in UNK and there have been many UNK of it does kindle not have UNK looking for these things before they set it up for sale it was very irritating lost count after the first chapters 1 better than the previous version better than the previous version in some things miss the white color though get the lighted cover as well 1 have fallen in love got my kindle yesterday and am already in love with it cannot wait for my classes to end so can enjoy some UNK break reading in bed UNK up with my kindle can wait to try it out as replacement for textbooks for the spring UNK amazon as far as concern you are right up there with apple in creating an absolutely fabulous product that enjoy using am just amazed at how crisp and clear the text is are and virtually no glare even in sunlight thank you thank you UNK you kindle team UNK my kindle 1 all my media digital now don normally write review but after reading some UNK star reviews here wanted to UNK the balance little waited until the price was good before jumping into the ereader market and the 3rd generation kindle UNK that line am normally careful about buying anything and so did my research comparing many there are at least dozen types each with pros and cons ereaders before choosing the kindle was aware of the time it would take to be delivered ordered it on august UNK given it was only being released on the 27th and that was an international UNK also purchased the australian adapter plug and case sans light have to say that so far am extremely happy with my purchase the delivery service was excellent when it finally got shipped and my kindle arrived with no rattling and in UNK condition have no troubles with the small keyboard and use of alt keys to get numbers good way to UNK space and UNK screen size did as the quick guide said and charged it for three hours it connected immediately to the 3g network and downloaded books in my archive quickly and with no problems checked the experimental web browsing after the three hours with no issues not its primary function so was aware it was slightly and only slightly slow people on this forum must have super fast internet connections or australia is UNK UNK behind ve been reading every day since with no problems the screen is fantastic and has to be seen to be believed it truly does make difference and looks very much like paper or like the picture on the protective cover you have to rip off when you first get gadget the menus are well presented and if you are even slight computer savvy you will be able to navigate like pro its been days now and ve used 50 of the charge not bad considering internet usage every day and indexing 80 books would expect at least another weeks usage so pretty much on par with months usage per charge ve since tested the wifi and found it connects with no issues and automatically UNK so no problems and an excellent experience from amazon hopefully don develop any and from what ve seen doubt it stars kindle and amazon keep up the good work 1 very nice reader upgraded from my kindle to kindle and am very happy the screen quality is so much better then k1 and having the collections option is wonderful for the amount read my husband has kindle he said it is not worth the upgrade for him yet but for me it was wonderful very user friendly we love the kindle in our house and my kindle is still working beautifully owned since 2008 and my son is happily reading with it now other then hard reboot that had to do have no complaints have no problem with spending money on kindle we have had great success with them in our house think amazon has wonderful product 1 update no issue after upgrade major problem it hangs or reboots too often got my kindle3 3g recently everything is good screen is perfect speed is great good price etc except one major issue it keep rebooting or hangs whenever turn pages too fast or use browser or even look around the kindle store it doesn happen immediately but once do these things it first lose network signal then hangs and reboots update after the upgrade no problem since then great 1 awesome ereader love the fact that first and foremost this is supported by amazon who is my favorite online UNK when you buy from amazon you can help but feel protected originally bought the 3g version for my UNK birthday after playing with it and finding how easy it was to use to find book so far ve been UNK up on the free classics and adjust the size of the text have decided to buy me wifi kindle as far as the cons there is slight lag when opening book or rendering webpage but it is not bad 1 firmware version still haven gotten it right update problem seems fixed used my kindle for more than year and once installed the font hack was very very satisfied bought the k3 in graphite and liked it from the start until received version of the firmware suddenly was experiencing slow page turns and the k3 was forgetting where stopped reading like my k3 but am disappointed that amazon UNK it out into production with the UNK freezes and required hard restarts and then UNK the fix into production my advice wait bit until amazon gets it right its still very good ebook reader just not quite there yet UNK UNK update upgraded my review of the k3 to five stars don know if amazon pushed fix for the slow page turns or there was magical electronic fixed itself event in any case ve not had any problems with the k3 in three weeks and UNK my earlier negative comments 1 perfect for bookworm recently received my kindle as gift and must say delighted with it am total bookworm but not gadget person however the kindle has met all my expectations and more had bit of difficulty with it at first so called customer service was very impressed because talked with an actual person rather than an UNK machine he solved my problem almost immediately and am now using my kindle with ease the screen is very clear and have found that my pdfs are also very easy to read on the device one of the greatest things about it is that don have to sit and look at computer screen for hours to read the books and pdfs that ve downloaded can just put them on the kindle and read them anywhere please no more UNK neck and back from being UNK up at computer desk love the kindle and would highly recommend it 1 awesome have purchased each generation of the kindle as it became available and the latest generation is clearly the best book reader on the market and it comes at highly affordable price thanks amazon the new reader is awesome 0 delivery of kindle is awful can UNK after waiting two weeks our kindle was shipped now after waiting another two weeks it has not arrived and cannot be UNK we must wait ten more days before it is UNK lost and we can get refund or start the order process again six weeks of waiting and then still no kindle 1 very pleased just received my kindle wi fi only device earlier than expected and just love it haven had any problem whatsoever connecting to the wi fi in my home or at work actually haven encountered any problems at all the kindle makes reading real joy and will get much use out of it this is my first reader and am sold on the technology downloading books have been snap and look forward to UNK and using the other features as well 1 review of first time kindle user consider myself an avid reader and bit of geek but was very hesitant to the idea of purchasing an reader yet eventually UNK got the better of me and took the plunge with the latest version of kindle must say am very glad did wish had earlier and really wish had purchased the latest series of books had lost to water damage in electronic form instead of paper what am happy about am most impressed with the ink and clarity of the words on the screen the words and pictures are very sharp and easy to read you also don have to worry about sun glare like on the ipad which was big selling point for me as like to read outdoors extremely long UNK life web browser with access to internet where ever go for one time UNK of 50 dollars not worth it if you have smart phone but if your like me and don want to pay for internet service for your home and your cell phone every month than its worthwhile will talk more about the experimental features more later but this was much better than expected and deserves kudos good design and build user friendly without much of learning curve do not feel like need to handle it with kid UNK don recommend UNK it around much but not overly worried of it breaking easily receive newspapers and magazines no matter where am amazon offers applications on practically every electronic device out there so your not forced to use the kindle forever if you don want to what am not happy about my biggest complaint is that can create categories to organize my book but cannot create sub categories for example have books under folder collection for science fiction but cannot create another group for each under science fiction such as UNK books or UNK books like said geek price of books since am not buying physical copy of the book and the UNK is saving ton on printing and shipping the prices should be lot lower however admit some of that might be out of amazon control however do not agree with those who says newspapers and magazines need to be cheaper as you receive those without UNK which is how most of those UNK make their money small UNK stand would be nice that UNK UNK into the back of the kindle make out of similar material as the rest of the device so you don feel it while holding the device if purchased an UNK book or UNK it would be nice for it to stand by itself while using it wish could personalize my kindle sleep picture experimental review amazon was clever in UNK these features as experimental so can be to critical of them and understand they are works in progress web browser am much happier with it than expected but at times while am using it my kindle will freeze or restart itself very annoying but doesn happen often for simple web text surfing or email checking it works great but most likely most people will have cell phones with far greater capabilities such as video mp3 player the feature is nice perk and the sound quality isn bad yet the music player doesn let you create play list that you can pick and choose to play just starts at the beginning of music you had loaded and you have to skip ahead to song or album you want its bit worthless to me without this capability text to voice its nice just wish it worked on every book overall like all of these features but hope amazon does improve these features but doesn loose sight of the fact its an reader and not computer finally recommend this device to anybody who reads lot but the 3g version is only for those without smart phones 1 love my kindle as working mother had all but given up on reading due to my busy schedule storage was also problem the light portable kindle has allowed me to UNK my passion for reading new world is just download away only improvement would suggest is backlight for night reading 0 shipping extremely dissatisfied ordered multiple items at the same time 27th aug 2010 all the other items which are accessories for the kindle arrived by 3rd sept 2010 the seller for the kindle finally on the 9th of sept gave me delivery date of UNK to 16th of sept 2010 that 18 to 20 days should have been informed when made the purchase what the estimated delivery date should be or that it is not in stock instead now may not even see it until late october because work overseas and leave on the UNK sept 1 class act what can say amazon did great job with this opened the box to discover thin and very sturdy reader in my grasp upon turning it on UNK as it said UNK kindle in the UNK corner and was taken through nice UNK screen and shown the UNK right off the bat menus are super easy to figure out and the text to speech is awesome do wish they had female voice to do the reading but being picky the voice it has is perfectly clear and very understandable downloading books is breeze and enjoying several titles now and will be definitely making this primary tool for my reading from now on never thought own kindle but now that took the plunge and went for the wifi and 3g model ll never go back only advice have buy the protective case when you order yours didn and realized right off the bat need one just ordered mine five stars amazon hit one out of the park with this latest generation model 1 amazing reader this ereader is amazing free internet browsing and the eink screen is amazing quickly adjusted to the new screen instead of paper and am now enjoying all the free classics on my kindle it is nice and small and have not had any problems with it the dictionary comes in handy lot because now instead of skipping over words don know because it will take too long to pull out dictionary and find the word and want to continue the story it takes about seconds to scroll to the word and define it am in UNK grade and in UNK have to make many reading UNK based off of text text to world text to self etc the kindle makes this very easy when find text that can make quality entry off of highlight it and all have to do to see it again is go to all notes and highlights and UNK can come look at the highlight when want to do the entry amazon has UNK itself again recommended this product to all my friends and anyone who reads this 1 love it got my kindle 3g on friday and have to say love it my kindle the joystick button had broken off and even though it was usable it was tricky since had the extra money from christmas wanted to upgrade my kindle k3 has removed the joystick button and replaced it with regular up down and side to side buttons feel that this will be way better honestly was thinking the only thing different notice would be the size it would fit in my purse better but there are few more things that were improved with this kindle didn think notice difference with the contrast but can assure you that the contrast is amazing there is huge difference for me to be able to tell without having the k2 and the k3 side by side is impressive the speed in which you hit the button and the page turns is instantaneous not even sure how they ll be able to get it faster for their next version of kindle unless they can start UNK how fast you read page and turning it automatically on the k1 used to have to push it few seconds before finished the page the k2 have maybe word or two could get in before flipping with the k3 if not done reading can flip know everyone say that reading in the sunlight is the best with kindle and honestly it my favorite place to read so the fact that can see it clearly in the sun is huge plus love the fact that it has 3g and wi fi can connect to my home or work network especially where my parents live there was no connection to 3g so now can just hook onto their wi fi if want to download book it very convenient although never came close to UNK out my storage this new kindle holds 3500 books what really love about the amazon and kindle is that any book ve ever purchased stays in the my account section and can download it again at anytime at no charge what even better than that is when try to buy book ve already purchased it tells me ve already purchased it and won allow the sale again that so helpful love my kindle doubt ll ever change or even try another reading device there is so much to praise about the kindle that can even begin to cover it all 1 first ereader ever have always enjoyed reading and have friends with earlier kindles could just never justify the price until the kindle got it over week ago charged it and downloaded my first book ran through the book with no problems enjoyed the read and didn miss the actual book read at night in bed and got the cover with the light it works UNK doubt ll spend too much surfing the web with it but bought it to read this is very enjoyable product travel for work and got the 3g model it has worked flawlessly over week on the battery so far and UNK across country and back while reading the whole time and during the UNK would have preferred number keys maybe shift key to make the top row numbers other than that very good read looked at nook but was frustrated with how slow it moved and how fast the touch screen went off 0 shipment time cannot rate the new kindle because it is going to take days from order entry to ship do not understand why it takes days to ship items in stock 1 kindle 3g love love love my new second kindle purchase it books ago gave my previous generation kindle to my mom we share books and read more often than ever 1 with kindle everything can be large print love my kindle it is light weight can get practically any book want instantly it is easy to use my dog and kindle can both be on my lap at the same time and she doesn make me lose my place never lose my place the progress bar lets me know how far am into the book the menus are easy to use but these are all just extras the real reason bought the kindle has to do with print size need large print books and have difficult time finding the books want to read in large print with the kindle can adjust the print size to whatever size need on any book all books can be large print compared the kindle to the nook and the sony and liked the look and feel of the kindle the best checked out the books available for each and liked the kindle selection chose the kindle with 3g wireless bought several books before my kindle arrived when hooked it up to charge the battery the books ordered automatically downloaded it couldn be simpler and couldn be happier only drawback it took me little while to stop trying to turn the page 1 best birthday present ever my husband bought me kindle for my birthday sept and just love it have been having the most fun with it highly recommend it as it is so easy to use and you can also get quite few free or very low priced books one thing wish it could do was check out books at my local library my friend has nook and she can download library books for weeks here are at least reasons to buy kindle it is so much fun it is easy to use and manage picture quality is outstanding no headache from screen glare limited surfing of the net is slow but nice love the text to speech feature but not every book is enabled and some people may not like the computer voice like it though recommend getting case with the light it works great and use it all of the time to read in bed anyway could come up with lot more reasons to get one but you get the picture 1 froze within week but reset fixed it the kindle seems great but my brand new one quit working within week the screen froze when attempting to get into book after turning the device off it would not turn on no matter eventually had to do reset holding the on off switch for 15 seconds they should really put that info in the quick start guide that comes with the kindle note that the online troubleshooting guide indicates that cause might be low battery but mine was nearly full at the time other than that issue ve been very happy with it and the price is nearly unbeatable ve been waiting long time for an reader at reasonable price if the freezing issue is one time thing or at least very rare ll come back and up my rating to five stars 1 buy kindle received my kindle on 16 day earlier than expected might add have already finished books my passion for reading has been re UNK with this wonderful device after setting up the wi fi which took about minutes have been UNK UNK myself in the wonderful world of reading again am thorough UNK when it comes to buying electronics and the choice for me was simple amazon makes it incredibly easy to view samples before you purchase many titles are under you can even purchase mass market paperbacks for that cheap another perk is the ability to use my droid with the kindle app which makes UNK in few words on my breaks at work even better some customers have commented about having trouble connecting their device via wi fi had no such problem and would UNK to say that this is simply an issue with the individual not having the tech savvy to connect it record and save your wi fi password if you are on the fence about purchasing kindle take the plunge if reading is passion or if you are considering starting new hobby let the kindle be your UNK to start thank you amazon for re kindle UNK my love of reading 1 wanted dedicated reader and that what got first time kindle owner so have nothing to compare the latest kindle to don own nook don own an ipad and in any case that comparing UNK to UNK don have sony reader this will be short simple review received my kindle about week ago and haven been able to put it down things like about my kindle the ink display is amazing using the way controller is simple and effective page turn speeds are faster than thought they would be it lightweight even with the attached cover have an amazon cover with built in light page turning buttons are quiet and well placed recharge time is fast can order book and start reading it in less than 60 seconds nice portability can take 000 books with me when travel for work and not require additional UNK or UNK fees things not too keen on buttons are too close together and are laid out oddly lack of individual number buttons is frustrating power button on the bottom not bad thing just an odd thing same for the headphone input usually rest the bottom of book on my lap when read things hope change in the future how books are organized when put book in collection which is actually tag it still appears in the main list it not actually moved it UNK associated the look of the main screen like folders or some other way to display collections ability to create personal screen savers book pricing though amazon has little control over this still most titles are the same price as or less than their hardback paperback counterparts and not opposed to paying more for convenience and portability things that don bother me regarding other reviews the browser is experimental amazon has created dedicated reader and it meant to be used to read period not browse the web if you want to browse the web get computer not an reader the kindle is not an mp3 player either yes it nice to have some classical music playing in the background while read but don need to see the title of the song album art etc and you can skip from track to track on the kindle using shortcut keys lack of color or touch screen in summary for 139 quite thrilled with my purchase and have UNK read multiple books on it in fact think ve read more in the past week than ve read in the past month 1 my second kindle ordered this kindle because have trouble charging the original model the older kindle is now working but am happy have the new model it is faster easier to hold better controls just pleasure to use particularly like the long battery life 1 kindle three is very good but not perfect received my kindle wi fi on this week and think it is great have had an ebook reader in the past and enjoyed it gave it to my sister in law while she was in the hospital and sick and started using the kindle for pc and came to enjoy the ease of getting my ebooks from amazon so decided it was time to get the kindle when saw the price of the wi fi only version love the size of the kindle and also the screen the page turns are really fast compared to the older ereader that had have not had and of the issues that have read about on amazon or the UNK forums did the updates before UNK the kindle to my wifi network it UNK the second time tried the first time tried the issue was not the kindle but my issue my network requires mac address UNK so disabled that for long enough to get the kindle on my network then added the kindle to my router and UNK mac address UNK and also UNK my ssid again the kindle does not have any issues connecting now downloaded 150 books for amazon that have gotten mostly classics that are free also added about 50 other books that had in mobi format have not had any issues with UNK use the kindle collection manager that was able to get from the UNK on UNK forum and that has been huge help with organizing my ebooks my only issue is that the way switch is too close to the back switch will not give the kindle five star rating because that would mean it is perfect but will give it stars as there is always room for UNK have been using my kindle now for about month it is great did upgrade my kindle basic cover by getting the kindle cover with the light should have done that from the beginning have not had crash or reboot at all use collections to organize my books but sure would like to have folders for organizing my books have downloaded couple of my audible books and it works great have added new folder to the UNK of the file system call books and have put books that want to have with me but do not wish to see at this time it is no trouble to connect the usb to my computer then move the books as need to and it makes the organization much better love the k3 but still room for improvements 1 great improvements and lower price double thumbs up after reading and spending some time adjusting settings and syncing with the old white kindle UNK ed really appreciate the improvements made to this version it is lighter so easier to hold in one hand for long long time wifi instantly connects and works better than spotty 3g coverage UNK are indeed quicker noticeably so all collections and such transferred with ease from the old model as well as synced pages from both the ipad and iphone apps running UNK every now and then if you have wifi at home anyway and like to have bit of mixed UNK ready for reading or few free UNK around then this version is for you more money for the actual content 1 love my kindle received my kindle and immediately downloaded the girl with the UNK UNK to read while traveling on business it was so easy to download and start reading only giving it stars because love to read on the plane especially if we re sitting on the UNK however the kindle has to be powered off like all electronics once the UNK door is closed so while waited 40 minutes for our plane to take off couldn read otherwise the screen is so easy to read and it fits great into my purse without lot of weight even if you love books you ll love the kindle 1 UNK love my kindle have 2009 and it white due to hand UNK bought cover that allows me to stand it up so it is hands free love that can change the print and narrow the column for faster reading never liked reading much because it was difficult to hold the book still enough my eyes would get tired and UNK after few pages now can read in comfort and finish book in few days also love the ease of ordering books since not technical type person thank you amazon for such wonderful product my only complaint is purchased mine at UNK and now could get one for 139 but on the other hand look at all the reading would have missed 1 UNK have my my new wifi kindle for week and it is everything hoped it would be wasn sure would UNK with an book reader as am an avid book reader but can believe how quickly have adapted it lighter to hold than lot of books and page turning is quicker than the real thing the choice of font size line spacing etc is real bonus the voice on feature is awful it UNK and sounds like someone reading foreign language with no understanding of the words enjoy audiobooks with real UNK so the kindle voice was UNK love the display photos when it turned off to love the thought of having library with me when am away from home without weighing my luggage down with paper books my only gripe is that many of the free books aren free for me here in new zealand but they are still cheap ll be recommending to anyone who ll listen oh yes and it arrived in days including weekend and am in new zealand 1 does not connect to apple airport extreme UNK UNK make sure your router is compatible before buying the wi fi only version ordered and was very disappointed that did not read this part more closely amazon will refund 100 so very happy 1 surpasses expectations ordered the kindle and lighted cover on 22 with expected delivery 29 10 recieved it on 28 packaging is very secure both items came together as promised set up was very simple and charging was quick added 10 books in about minutes great product 1 amazon kindle review have only had my kindle for less than 24 hours but love it while the device could handle things little better multiple bookmarks for example the device delivers everything that amazon said it would this is my first kindle so can compare it previous versions initially looked into getting kindle because wanted device to read my pdf text books on other than my net book or printing and binding them wanted something hand held and very light the kindle is exactly that putting my pdf textbook on my kindle was super easy tried it three different ways first UNK the pdf file to my kindle mail to have it converted to kindle format none of the text came over correctly it was bunch of mixed up letters then tried downloading free converter while this worked better the text was super small and you couldn really enlarge it to readable size please note that can read small print finally transferred my book to my kindle using the usb cable this worked amazingly well say amazingly well because previous reviews have read said this is the worst way to put pdf files onto your kindle well this worked UNK and now can read my text book with no problems on my kindle love this feature the screen is super clear have no problems reading any of the text even people with very poor eyesight will be able to read on this device because you can drastically increase the font size while this requires more scrolling at least if you do have poor eyesight you should be able to use this device the text to speech works great as well the voice sounds like the UNK UNK on my UNK but the purpose is UNK the wifi is little slow for me but that because extremely UNK and don want to wait for more than seconds for pages and screens to load however it convenient feature and see myself using it lot all in all this is really good device do wish that bookmarks were little better managed don like that can only see few at time on the screen with no page numbers and no jump to page features have to bookmark all the chapters so that can easily flip to where need to go if amazon could update that this device would be even better for textbook readers for regular book readers you won be disappointed with this device it handles text with no problems the type is super clear and it comfortable and light to hold in your hands can easily see myself reading for hours with this device and my hands won get tired did notice that prefer holding and reading landscape because it feels more like book to me if you buy this device you won be disappointed 0 poor as in non UNK customer support the kindle did not perform as described specifically book could not be downloaded to computer and transfered to the kindle and some books could not be downloaded to computer on kindle after several attempts the worse part of this is that amazon did not respond to emails on this problem think that the idea of kindle is great but the experience leaves alot to be desired am planning on returning it and going back to books too bad really wanted it to work think that the lack of support and response to questions is what is the worst 1 from k1 to k3 got my first kindle back in 08 and loved it UNK over the k2 but decided there were not enough reasons to upgrade my k1 has been perfect and still is it will be moving on to new home with my mom the k3 is amazing had heard that the screen was way better but even knowing that it blew me away love the lighter sleeker look and choice of graphite or white couldn decide so got one of each am UNK wife and we are UNK in japan right now my k1 didn get wireless but that was fine since our moving weight UNK would have cut my book collection in half my new k3 gets 3g and wifi out here and love it our paper book selection is small out here but with my kindle have the whole world of literature at my fingertips no waiting for it to ship no driving 20 miles to the nearest bookstore have heard about freezing issues and other problems all both of my units are perfect have kindles on my account UNK dx and UNK and have never had problem with any of them my whole family has kindles now and love being able to share books even my UNK year old dad who is UNK UNK has no problems with his dx and love sending him new books to read from my 12 year old daughter to my UNK year old dad we all agree that the kindle is our favorite toy 1 best item ever ordered the kindle on september UNK UNK and fell in love with device as soon as downloaded book on it this is the best idea anyone ever had the kindle is great for traveling walking anything you can think of it also saves you alot of UNK space in your home because your not buying so many books was buying about 10 books week read fast if it good so thank you for the kindle it is the best 1 love my kindle had the original kindle and when saw this one that did text to speech decided had to have it it is great 1 great screen setting up wifi is bit UNK have the new 3g kindle screen is great form factor is great battery power without connection is great much improved over the 2nd generation that also owned two issues to be aware of if your router is set to UNK media you may have to change some settings my kindle would refuse to connect to it until turned off that UNK switch on the router it worked fine on all other wifi hot spots tech UNK was pretty UNK about this had to research it myself also when its connected using wifi battery life is only about days there is no way to turn off just wifi you need to turn off 3g and wifi at the same time don know if they are using UNK UNK set to deliver wifi but if amazon could allow folks to turn off wifi only on the 3g devices it would likely help battery life lot 1 totally awesome no problems with it at all had the kindle and it was great very durable use it at UNK sites and it rides in my UNK truck and in my computer bag both are very UNK areas have dropped it and let year UNK play with it it still works and still use it however just bought the kindle and am lot more UNK with it it seems durable but havent had the chance to beat it up yet or drop it have not had it freeze or UNK yet except on some pdf files sometimes when reading pdf it becomes sluggish on the page turns but eventually UNK back up to normal page turning speeds am an avid user of the text to speech feature when im trying to go to sleep nice bed time story read to me by my digital mother have not had this freeze on me with the new kindle battery life with wi fi is not that great only last UNK days when wi fi is off and only wispernet is on it lasts as long as can stand have the cover with light and am able to use the kindle with the light for couple of days without recharge when using kindle about hours with light and or so hours without light per day over all this product is awesome and it beats the UNK out of sony or barnes and nobles pieces of UNK junk my primary use for the kindle is technical manuals and pc magazine also there are ton of camping and UNK books have read with this 1 wow received my kindle on monday and all can say is wow the screen clarity is spectacular easy to set up and did mention can download books within few seconds have not experienced any problems as of right now but am sure if do amazon will make it right 1 meant to be lt all can say is that am in love well that not all can say but really all that is needed best reader out there and beautifully designed it kindles my heart 1 love this small kindle we have the latest big and small kindles we love both of them very much it is very comfortable reading on kindle compared with ipad tried ipad and do not think it is good for our eyes the reflection is killing us while reading on the other hand kindle is just fine we have bought quite number of books from amazon so far 1 awesome wow don usually write reviews but thought should because could really tell huge difference in the ink quality on my new kindle had kindle and this new version is way easier to read didn think it would be big deal but it is actually bought it because it has wifi and can get the 3g at my house but am sooooo pleased with the whole thing great deal 0 freezes all the time was very excited when got my device but my UNK soon turned into UNK it froze within week of purchase followed the instruction on troubleshooting it came back to life only to freeze again in couple of days now it doesn restart even after sliding the switch for 15 seconds or more will return the product very disappointed amazon also read an increasing number of reviews about the same problem hope amazon fixes the problem soon otherwise there is wide selection of devices out there and sticking to kindle is not must 1 just got it last night ll leave the long detailed opinions to someone else for me the kindle makes me want to read am generally not big time reader magazines yes newspapers yes short stories novels and UNK no the kindle for whatever reason just makes the reading experience easier no bulky books no piles of books on the night stand no UNK books on the bookshelf no eyes getting lost in page of words just easier it was given to me last night as gift and half way through book that doubt would have read if just picked it up in the airport kindle gets to the point no fancy UNK no videos emails or other distractions just reading have enough distractions just give me my kindle and quiet room thanks amazon oh yeah the case is nice too although probably could have bought cheaper one 1 got to love the kindle 3g received my kindle yesterday and was so pleased with everything about it it was loaded with my name and set to go on the internet wondered if should go the extra money for the bigger one but found that the smaller one is perfect size UNK at the guide which was already loaded on the kindle but found it was easy to use without the guide love that the text can be adjusted and the reading UNK auto fits the pages how cool is that charges quickly easy to see and easy to operate ten star deal 1 UNK some kindle love had 2nd generation kindle or k2 for about five months and used it UNK am the definition of an avid reader and couldn find anything wrong with my k2 when the new generation came out the k3 thought would just let it pass me by and keep using my k2 two months later changed my mind and am ever glad did page turns are lightning fast with k2 would hit the next page button few second before got to the bottom of the page and it UNK just in time for me to continue reading the k3 turns the page faster than can do it in physical book without doing damage to the page the page turn buttons are also much quieter and more conveniently placed with my k2 never got good enough connection to 3g to even use it and UNK up connecting it to my computer via usb to load books with the k3 have downloaded dozens of books using 3g and it downloads in around 20 30 seconds even for huge novels war and peace took less than 45 seconds word you ll read and hear about it lot but its that awesome am amazed at how crisp the text is on the screen like many others thought there was sticker on the screen when got it when the k3 displays the instructions for charging it the first time the screen is gorgeous and even easier on the eyes than k2 found myself after long periods of reading increasing the font size on my k2 it took awhile but my eyes would get tired well before was done reading with k3 have the text set on the second smallest size and have never had to deal with eye strain pdfs look good they re still not the easiest things to read as you can only zoom on small section of the pdf at time at least the pdfs have viewed on k3 but they look better and you can UNK the text which does help lot don use them much so its not huge concern for me didn buy the kindle to use it for the internet or for any other purpose but an ebook reader and am in love with the kindle for the incredible job it does as far as concerned will never own another brand of ebook reader kindle is all ll ever need 1 kindle goes way beyond our expectations received kindle and cover for my UNK birthday was amazed at how light weight it was and how easy it was to get started the cover fits the kindle perfectly doesn add much weight and provides the protection needed my husband and thought that reading kindle would at least be the equivalent of reading book it is much more first it is much easier to hold and much lighter than hard cover book it is much easier to hold than paper back which requires that you hold it in two hands or at the UNK to keep it from closing turning pages no comparison for either kindle beats both hands down reading kindle for long periods of time isn nearly as tiring as reading books we got big bonus with the kindle experimental feature which we weren aware of we live in our UNK and travel lot the text to speech feature was major bonus can read while we drive so in the past we have UNK used audio books because you have to turn the volume way up to overcome the road noise it is very distracting to my husband while he is driving also audio books are quite costly with kindle use pair of comfortable UNK noise UNK headphones and am enjoying books on the go although the text to speech isn perfect words get UNK UNK it is quite good all things considered it is major bonus the web browser feature is interesting but has long way to go download speed is quite slow and all web pages have to be UNK to read controls to maneuver around web page are slow and primitive would call it UNK useful at this point hopefully this feature will be improved in kindle bottom line could not be happier with my kindle 1 finally got one waited for long time to buy one the new price of 139 is very fair and to me value read lot and get tired of having books laying around or when travelling having them take up so much space the syncing of books between two devices is very nice use an android phone and if am waiting doctor office etc can pick up right where was reading without searching 0 too old to work after year and half just got off the phone with kindle support who took nearly month to get back to me on my original request and was told that my kindle which is syncing incredibly slowly after downloading the software update is just too old when asked if all kindles were too old at age was told well no just mine apparently it has UNK UNK they want me to replace it at cost of UNK so since paid the original price this unreliable reader would end up costing me well north of 400 instead of UNK good money after bad rather buy the competition ll just have to read the books ve bought so far on my pc my advice to you forget the kindle bad product bad service 1 love it recently bought the kindle for my husband for fathers day anniversary birthday and we received it yesterday he was so surprised and thought it was wonderful idea but our year old son who has never been great reader has stolen it downloaded the UNK by UNK UNK and he cant put it down which to us is fantastic thing as he was falling behind at school now he is asking for one for his birthday and if he keeps this up he may just get one also love it and am UNK one also my poor husband is yet to even look at it 1 best reader period does have problem with the power UNK plug in gets hot and doesn charge my kindle fire UNK will contact amazon tomorrow and tell them the power plug in to power up kindle gets hot and doesn charge my kindle best to just plug into usb port on your computer to recharge kindle UNK apple iphone had similar problem with their power adapter and had UNK as you plug the usb into the UNK power adapter to plug into wall to charge it gets very hot hot means fire UNK folks over all the kindle is the best but will see if they have the fix to re charge kindle just in case don have computer to re charge my kindle repeat to recharge don plug in wall just plug usb port in your computer and it will charge just fine kindle rocks but this will be UNK imagine similar to when apple new iphone came out couple years ago enjoy kindle and happy reading 1 great device so so support depending who answers the phone first off the device on it own is fantastic simple to use and easy to read from the screen it not too big neither too small and it fits nicely in your hand okay now have to re write my review thanks to what other people wrote regarding gift UNK called kindle support again UNK time in week after being told times by support that could use gift UNK as UNK and times that could not finally called and told them that if amazon gift UNK could be used exactly how are they UNK as UNK for kindle books the UNK spoke to today UNK didn write down his name to post here was extremely helpful and talked me through the entire process 1 perfect reader for me this is my first eink device always read ebooks on lcd displays and can stand it my eyes get tired from it the kindle is almost like real book only better the kindle is the perfect gadget for me travel lot and can lug around all my books now don have to because the kindle is so handy display is sharp can put lots of my pdfs on it and the kindle store is very nice 1 love the kindle guess the feature that impressed me most is the screen display when first opened the box and saw the menu actually thought it was label that had been stuck on the screen battery life is great also use the kindle program for my blackberry and pc love the way it remembers my place when switch from one device to the other also purchased the black leather cover for 35 the cover makes it feel that you have real book in your hand we are about to leave for week driving trip through new UNK and the kindle will be one of the first things we pack 1 kindle one word amazing after debating for year to get ereader decided to go with the amazon kindle and don regret it one bit love love love it have kids UNK old and month old and love that fact that don have to stick piece paper in book to hold my place when need to UNK to them and as you mom know kids get into everything and my yr old is the same forever UNK my place so having kindle is amazing never losing my place in the book is great love it thank you amazon for the kindle 1 wow have nothing much to say but wow the display contrast is amazing and the device is super light after reading about half page you ve already forgotten that it an electronic device instead of book 1 get kindle if you want good UNK ebook reader from the beginning all wanted was good ebook reader with no fancy options but to spend over 200 for the ebook reader is really over priced kindle made my dream happen it has all the features that an ebook reader UNK have and the price is reasonable don have any problem with kindle so far although would love to have the next page button little lower than where it is now 1 latest generation kindle love the new kindle for its smaller size but very much miss the row of numbers above the keyboard also the old joystick was easier to use 1 suggestions got kindle mainly to test out pdf books scanned UNK technical ebooks and found it pretty good when reading in landscape mode didn have to zoom in to read the regular UNK size pdf files it would display one page as two pages do have to page down twice to finish reading the page that brings me to the issue of the page down and page up buttons do find the page up and page down button on the edge to be problem it is annoying to move the thumb far to the middle or use the other hand to page up or page down to the next page suggest that amazon should put small page up and page down buttons between the keyboard and the ink screen this would allow the thumb to navigate the pages easier when it is in landscape mode while holding it with the left hand also it would be great if the edges didn take up that much space or have the next version of the keyboard be touch screen this would allow ink display to have more UNK to read the pdf images pdf files in landscape mode how about have firmware patch to allow button to be UNK when in landscape mode like setting to choose the ways buttons to be page up and page down instead of scrolling line by line that would be great just my cents thanks 1 wifi does not work with mac computer networks purchased the new kindle for my wife as an anniversary present she only had it for couple of days and likes it very much so far she is very disappointed however that she cannot download books wirelessly with our wireless network because our wireless router is an apple product time UNK connected to mac computers she was told by amazon that she will have to download books with UNK connection from the kindle to her UNK although not nearly as convenient this will probably work out as loyal amazon customer very surprised that amazon doesn UNK the fact apple wireless networks are not compatible with the kindle wifi in their description of the product 1 so easy and convenient bought the least expensive kindle could find and really like it think its fabulous for reading in bed outside or anywhere have not experienced any problems with it many people have complained about the prices of books being too high for this device but to me this is something that you buy for the easy comfortable reading it provides rather than the price of the book am currently reading under the UNK which my husband had read in hardback am senior and can handle big heavy books anymore this is the perfect solution 1 kindle 3g wi fi latest generation got this kindle as my first reader and must say it is awesome the transition to reading digital tablet with ink was seamless even though did fear it being bit awkward not having book in my hands they have over 000 books that are free the newest kindle features wi fi and or 3g depending on which one person orders and there are over UNK 000 buy books most being under there is access to newspapers blogs and articles it also has an experimental web browser that just works it is there if you need it but if you have other web access via computer that is probably easier you can order books directly from the kindle without need to be at computer it can read pdf it also plays mp3 if you really want it to all this is easy to set up when you UNK it to your computer via usb it will show up as UNK drive in your windows explorer for drag drop operation the kindle links directly to your amazon account so you can see your wish list if you have one set up through your amazon account really like this because when am on lunch or just browsing the net can add books articles to my favorites and download them to my amazon later you can also buy or select your books articles from your amazon account on computer and next time you turn on your kindle and it is connected to the network it will automatically download the content you can adjust text size and spacing to your liking with few different options of fonts too battery life can last up to month with wi fi turned off it has built in dictionary for instant fluid look up that displays at the top or bottom of the screen keeping your reading seamless you can highlight and save passages for lookup later you can see what others reading the book have highlighted though that doesn much help me keep this option off guess it might be good if you have textbook the kindle will also read to you if you want it too this only works on books with the rights allowed for that kind of thing don really like this option as the voice is an UNK voice that does good job of UNK at UNK and periods but does not really have the feeling of the story this would best be used for news articles if you want it but is almost useless for novel or other literature the current kindle has hard drive size of 4gb this is enough for about 500 books if you do have the need to delete something you can always access it again from your kindle account on amazon and download it to your kindle again anytime the kindle is UNK so you can page back forth with either hand as both buttons are located on both sides of the device the charge kit is in kit that includes an adapter for standard UNK outlet charging or you can remove that and charge it via the usb on your computer car UNK are also available for like if you look on amazon the kindle weighs in at ounces and is just about the length and width of small medium sized paperback it is only of an inch thick do have to admit that the device is very light weight and easy for me to carry in my purse yesterday started reading an old favorite of mine the screen is very crisp and the contrast is great it pretty much looks like ink printed on grey piece of recycled paper keep in mind this is only UNK screen black white though it displays photographs wonderfully in an UNK sort of way also there is no backlight nor is it touch screen this is all done with keeping eye strain in mind reader devices use different type of screen to UNK eye strain unlike staring at an lcd screen they also did it in an effort to UNK reflection on the screen and contrast in the light so it looks just as bright in bright sunlight as it does indoors purchased the amazon kindle case that has the built in lcd light that lights the panel to read in low light the light runs off of the kindle battery so no batteries to deal with though 3rd party case with battery powered light can be purchased as well keep in mind when looking at kindle accessories that this is the 2nd generation kindle lot of the accessories listed on amazon are for the 1st generation kindle and many are not compatible with this updated model bought skin for my kindle and come to find out after receiving my kindle the skin doesn fit not happy with that if you enjoy reading suggest looking into the kindle store on amazon and seeing if they have your literary interest in an UNK on the kindle if they do the kindle is definitely worth looking at am off to read now 1 wish had this product is clear as UNK but wish could send it back to upgrade to the one with 3g as cannot connect unless go out to hot spot and they are weak at most in my area but all in all the kindle is fantastic much easier to lug than book and is great in the sun 0 wait to buy that kindle have posted review of my experience with my first amazon kindle purchase and why believe you should wait on purchasing this device when the device works it is great but unfortunately as first buyer am left with UNK taste in my UNK after the past couple of issues that UNK up in the first two weeks of ownership if you are on the fence go take UNK at my post 1 why love my kindle must admit wanted kindle since the first came out mostly was kept away from it because like to give new technologies few years for UNK to work out the kinks finally the kindle hit the market and must say for device on its 3rd generation it is amazing as reader it simply blows the competition out of the water the only device that comes close is the ipad which to be honest shouldn even be considered an reader the ipad is just multimedia toy for children and UNK who enjoy anything with an apple UNK and pretty UNK however if your intention is to read books and or enjoy some music then the kindle is for you the main reasons finally went with the kindle are the kindle is true reader that delivers on its goal of UNK in your hands it leaves you and the authors creation alone without the distractions of glossy screens and eye candy clutter the kindle now handles pdfs UNK this was an issue for me in previous generations but is now taken care of very UNK on the kindle which still gives the option to convert pdfs to kindle format the kindle includes access to 3g whispernet allowing users to download and read whatever the curious mind UNK at moments notice no need to subscribe with some UNK to deliver content in addition there is an experimental browser that allows one to access the web from just about anywhere anytime at no additional cost 1 even better than the UNK way back in 2008 bought first generation kindle loved it from the first back then listed few things that thought needed to be changed and few features that like to see boy did someone listen the new kindle looks better feels better in the hand and turns pages very fast and UNK see below for my old comments from 2008 in normal typing my new comments are all in UNK and UNK by 2010 from 2008 pros just about everything too numerous to list 2010 still the same comment cons the color it gets UNK easily 2010 the grey color is perfect the location of the power and radio switches UNK taking the device out of the cover 2010 fixed that and slow page turning 2010 really fixed this wishlist wifi 2010 it in there color display 2010 oh well maybe next time real mp3 player the one included only plays on random it would be nice to be able to have playlist 2010 changed this too recommend this device wholeheartedly and when the next generation is available not too soon please these things are expensive 2010 UNK UNK the price really came down ll be first in line to purchase an even better device 2010 did and will again 1 my best latest purchase first of all would like to UNK amazon for the whole process of updating info about my kindle pre UNK it as well as the tracking system which was flawless plus was more than pleased when received the package days earlier than the estimated date considering that here in UNK sometimes to import anything takes more than 20 days still getting used to my new kindle life but can tell you right away that it awesome and recommend it was little concerned about it reading pdf files but can complain everything is working just fine and it costs lot less than the national reader the only problem still is the price of the books but hopefully prices will drop soon 1 very nice reader just loving it hello ordered kindle so that can read while commuting to my office and back off course in public transport just love it it is easy on eyes compact and light easy to carry really books download in less than 60 seconds easy charging easy download easy purchase of books ordered kindle base too case is also fantastic kindle gets hooked to case easily in one simple step like the price amazon is offering like the oxford dictionary and how word UNK are provided while reading the article text size adjustment is excellent easy and fast turn of page 10 screen is exactly same as paper edition of books am happy with my purchase UNK 1 now read so much more the best thing about this fancy gadget is that read about million times more with it didn believe my friends when they said they read more with the kindle but wow were they right now always have not just book but an entire library of books available the books are cheaper tons of classics are actually free and the reading experience might actually be better than with real book UNK over this purchase but now complete convert 1 love it great device reads pdf better than thought it would although they re UNK down downloading is breeze connecting to wifi hasn been an issue either slightly technical but don want to crack into the UNK UNK with this thing so good with the features it has the screen is unbelievable looks like sticker on the front didn know it was the font the fact that the battery isn used while you re looking at page is huge bonus as well the only time the battery is used is when you re listening to music which works well also or turning pages etc if it just displaying no battery use very cool loved that free books on this thing is great too ve only had it for few days but love it already plan on subscribing to magazine and probably newspaper ll let you know how it goes but so far don regret this at all and don regret not buying the 3g version update ve had it for while now and it still going strong started UNK university of UNK and the fact that can email my books in pdf or doc word documents is outstanding ve got all of my class books on this thing and it is the best nothing like not carrying around backpack full of books plus anytime have free time can just pull of my kindle and get caught up on my UNK reading it the best investment ever made 1 love it recieved the kindle3 for my birthday love it thought wish the keyboard was bit larger the one feature that was excited about that the nook does not have is the text to UNK however find this feature annoying too UNK to listen to hope the future brings an improvement 1 impressive as UNK owner of sony reader touch am really impressed with the way amazon has redesigned this device to the point where it is almost as heavy as cell phone much lighter than most books and remarkable screen contrast granted the experimental features are welcome the browser is basic and will serve your for UNK but nothing to rely on you are better off using your smart phone which in turn is designed for that the kindle is designed to read documents and at that it is UNK device the sony touch had huge problem with glare from the touch UNK needed for that feature which took away valuable contrast from your reading material the kindle uses buttons and controls for navigation keeping you from touching the gorgeous screen ve had my device for two days and find myself already reading lot again transfer of drm free content is easy so long as you have the right formats text to speech is adequate text size options are great and very helpful so is the line spacing words per line and screen rotation options if you have access to programs like calibre you can convert your own pdfs to mobi format and drop them into the kindle documents directory the mobi format takes advantage of all the readability features as opposed to the pdf which while still able to be read via kindle will be fixed width forcing you to zoom into areas you want to read all in all an excellent buy at great price 1 best yet just waiting for the second of UNK new kindle to arrive to replace first generation kindle ve had my new kindle for several weeks now this one is for my wife and it is in my opinion the best yet the print contrast is much better than ever before the wireless works beautifully UNK actually get good signal in my house we re in bad area and with the older unit had to go outside to get any kind of signal and the downloads seem to be much faster all in all completely satisfied except for the new pricing UNK that the publishers have implemented 99 for new releases great way above that not so good 0 unless you have att coverage don buy live in the middle of nowhere and loved my second generation kindle could walk anywhere on our UNK and order book off of whispernet gave my old kindle to my sister and bought the new generation guess what no service while the customer service representative was very nice and told me that my amazon old kindle used sprint cell UNK now the new generation uses at unless you live in UNK area you are out of luck find myself having to drive into town to order book on my kindle at has the worst cellular service have experienced when travel with my ipad have come to expect frequent dropping and dead UNK this is another reason bought the new kindle amazon does not mention UNK service UNK when advertising their product so beware in the world of at if you live in rural environment you don exist so the new generation kindle is for city UNK or UNK we simple country UNK don read anyway so why should amazon use UNK that reach all the people that was UNK UNK amazon change back to sprint or contact UNK because the new kindle UNK the big one have lost my freedom to read anywhere anything anytime and by the way my sister won give me back my old kindle 1 great for UNK ve had my kindle for just under week now after researching for several weeks whether to buy nook or kindle sure made the right choice after handling friend nook love the speed of page turns the higher contrast screen the lighter weight the graphite color prefer the buttons to the touch screen that would always be asleep when needed it that has all been covered in other reviews sure UNK and love that many of our older literature selections are available and usually for free can switch between books without lot of effort and no UNK can pull my bookmarks out and lose our place as UNK mother increasing font size is wonderful for low light reading when trying to get baby to sleep my favorite aspect however is one never saw on any of the early kindle reviews the tech blogs put together most appreciate the silent one handed page turns phenomenal truly how they missed that ll never understand 1 1st time and love it the kindle is really great have never read books before but really love it am college student and using it for college is little different because the kindle does not give exact page numbers but for general reading it is amazing the reading quality is awesome and the experimental browser is really good check my gmail on it and works great books download in about UNK it is so light and thin also love it 1 best kindle to date ve owned k1 and still own dx us version and now the new UNK wifi it is the best wireless hooked up effortlessly the new webkit internet is much improved and the battery life is so much better than either of my other kindles over the first 30 hours or so downloaded over UNK books from my archives 25 30 at time allowing little time for indexing to stay relatively caught up kept it charging pretty much the whole time so as not to tax the system and had no problems what so ever it so zippy with my wireless connection while loved the whispernet connection always had spotty reception at my house thus requiring extended time to download items and that UNK up my battery not problem anymore UNK amazon keep up the good work 1 it is book it is book have had my kindle for almost year now it has brought me many hours of joy am an avid reader will read the UNK box if UNK else is available the selling point for me was the instant downloads without having the computer enter in at all since near 60 my eyesight is not what it used to be so really enjoy that can increase the font size it goes where go don leave home without it love to have the kindle but since there is nothing wrong with my kindle can not justify buying another one thanks amazon for an amazing product big reader 1 kindle latest generation on off switch have enjoyed my new kindle my only concern is the on off switch UNK it works fine but when turn it on or off the switch is little slow returning to its original position would not think anything of it but my wife has kindle and the on off switch UNK back quickly hope this won develop into problem down the road 1 love it okay so cannot compare to previous versions as this is my first one so far in love never thought would ever want kindle because huge UNK of books love the look and feel and UNK of book love how some books have UNK ink such as UNK UNK books simply love everything about the written word love books well still do but finding that enjoying reading from my kindle so much that can believe didn have one of these before now will continue to buy books of course can imagine that habit stopping now after 30 plus years but will also be buying and reading lot from my kindle it just so easy and everything is right there at your fingertips searching downloading new books list of what you may or may not feel like reading it fancy way to read in fancy little package and adore it don vacation much so don use it for that but use it daily on my way to and from work as well as my lunch hour it saves from carrying heavy book around can just imagine that if were to travel how convenient it would be to pack just the kindle and not bunch of books it well worth the money adding to review oct UNK still love it but it now has sticky on off button that it did not have before it appears that lot of people are having problem with this mine started out smooth and went to sticking while others started out sticky and UNK up so long as the button itself doesn completely break UNK with it if you send it back and get replacement there is no guarantee that the replacement won have the same problem or worse other problems 1 new kindle for old kindler upgraded from the first generation kindle to the new kindle 3g wi fi gave my first kindle stars since like this one better overall gave it stars also but am also more UNK because have my k1 for comparison hardware the graphite kindle has great texture smooth and solid its screen is superior to my old kindle find don need as much light as before perhaps this screen is somewhat more reflective the text is definitely sharper and darker now it really does look like paper the page turning buttons are small and had to get used to them the k1 buttons were really big and unlike many people liked them have gotten used to the new kindle buttons but it took couple of weeks those of you who have hand UNK the first week give it more time you might also find it easier to read in cover so that your hands can grip it more UNK miss the number buttons know can press alt or the symbol key but that just takes time wish amazon could have written the numbers above the top row but suppose that would UNK the look don really mind this too much software the software is quite easy to learn and enjoyable love having collections which were not available on the k1 wish could order them UNK instead of by last used but that is minor point because don have that many collections they all fit on one page miss being able to use alt page turning button and go 10 of the book or being able to click from one bookmark to the next understand that the trade off is being able to click between chapters if the publishers make that possible guess it is reasonable trade off the k3 is faster than my old kindle so enjoy that content this just keeps getting better and better what can say love being able to download books anytime anywhere the wi fi capability UNK this feature since can email myself books for free have wireless in my home so use that mostly but for those of you thinking of saving the 50 and buying the cheaper one think carefully have often downloaded samples at my friend house at work or many other places people will mention book to me look it up on the kindle immediately and download the sample to remind myself that way never have to write it down am never without book am never UNK life is great 1 great reader the third generation kindle k3 has wonderful screen it is very book like and in fact easier to read than most paperbacks and even many hardbacks with its adjustable font type and size words per line and line spacing most users should be able to customize the text to their liking after being charged and turned on my k3 immediately locked on to 3g and downloaded the twenty books had UNK up for it as well as my complete archive list indexing was complete within minute or two my home wireless router was picked up by the wi fi UNK and after entered its security key my k3 connected and was able via wi fi to surf the web download couple of books from my archives and visit the amazon store all functions of my k3 have worked flawlessly my only complaint is that the keyboard and five way controller are quite UNK for my large fingers and for this UNK one star 1 loving the newest kindle loved my kindle 2nd generation and really love the newest kindle love that it wi fi and 3g can download documents for free in wi fi areas the page turn buttons are more user friendly it noticeably smaller and lighter but the screen looks they same it did take bit to get used to the on button being on the bottom instead of the top overall think all the changes are improvements to an already great product now can give my mom my 2nd gen kindle and know she ll love it too 1 small is beautiful love my new kindle wi fi only no need for 3g have dx version which use for my technical documents at work where larger screen is needed and enjoy it very much but my new one is for reading my personal books and am very pleased with it it faster clearer extremely light and very comfortable to carry and read to put it simple small is beautiful thanks amazon great product at great price 1 just got my 1st kindle just got my 1st kindle fantastic simple to use out of the box books and newspapers download in seconds wish the newspapers had few more images with the UNK daily mail my husband bought this for himself but he has not has chance to read anything as cant put it down thanks for the great product btw am UNK years old and was worried was entering the UNK world the kindle in simple to use used it at the beach last week in bright UNK UNK the display was perfect thanks amazon for such great product cant wait to build my library of books bought 139 00 version great value 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device display ve had the kindle for about weeks now and its been great even stopped bringing my ipod with me on the train did have one issue with it about days after receiving it but called support and it was fixed in about minutes the issue had was that it wouldn open any books or allow me to go to the kindle store or even the settings the kindle support person had me hold the power switch for 15 seconds until the kindle reset itself entirely now it has been working great and have had no complaints the 3g connection is great as long as your within an at wireless area and the wifi works just as well haven tried the pdf feature because haven had need for it yet but from everything else UNK to the device it is definitely worth the buy 1 love my kindle ve wanted kindle for over years and finally got one love getting an instant book love being able to stick it in my purse and take it along everywhere got still love real page turner books but my kindle fills need in my life 1 the amazing k3 this is the most amazing ereader ever if you like reading books or would like to start reading you ll love the k3 it is small and can all ways be readily available it takes away the need for shelf space could go on forever 1 new kindle simply put my new kindle is perfect it was time to upgrade from my 1st generation kindle and glad did it so much sleeker with faster page turns and better contrast wouldn change thing thank you amazon 0 disappointment after waiting over six weeks for my kindle was hugely disappointed that it does not work had to call technical assistance the first time tried to use it after 30 minutes on the phone was told UNK was put in and someone would get back to me within 48 hours what joke it would turn on and could use the functions on the kindle itself but could not connect to the kindle store just totally blank page wireless would connect and then nothing what the point if can get to the content to download it totally UNK me off for the weekend and thinking ll be sending kindle back and getting nook everyone that know who has one loves it and they have had no problems what rip update was on the phone with kindle tech support for the better part of four hours last night resolution was to send me new kindle tried connecting to my wi fi network my sister that have the password to my UNK the free wifi at UNK UNK and the free wifi at borders no luck connecting at any of them giving it one more chance at least didnt get UNK update UNK the whole wifi only concept and gave in for the more expensive model returned wifi only kindle now waiting for the 3g version extra 60 and let see how long this takes update received new kindle yesterday charged it up turned and on and UNK it worked both wifi and 3g up and running downloading books in seconds got couple of classics wanted to UNK couple freebies just for the heck of it and two new novels to read that ve been wanting give it UNK biggest issues are navigating the net for the amazon page no epub and the UNK expensive lighted leather cover 1 love my kindle well received my kindle within the expected delivery time that they had listed must say that was impressed from the moment opened the box although ve read many reviews the kindle has exceeded my expectations my husband recently bought the nook from barnes and noble so most definitely wanted to compare the two what like about the nook are the game options but that about it what love about the kindle is the text to read option although representative from barnes and noble stated we also have the option on the nook we haven been able to UNK this after one full charge have read at least for total of 24 hours since UNK and have plenty of battery life left it is very easy to change the font and prefer the raised keyboard easy to use ve purchased at least books so far and they have downloaded in 60 seconds or less as listed also have seen significant savings in comparison to buying hard copy one book for UNK 99 was able to download for 99 wow what savings this product literally pays for itself after purchasing few books 1 can put my kindle down read lot of historical UNK am glad that can now read them on the kindle most books read were 700 pages or more hated the bulk of the books and the kindle has solved that problem the battery life is excellent and the page turning is also plus have not had any of the wi fi or UNK problems that some people are having also cant UNK some of the one star reviews this product is getting because of shipping my kindle was supposed to arrive on or before the 17th received it on the 9th plus shipping issues should not be reflective on the product review 1 upgrading from 1st generation kindle find that this newer kindle to be far superior to the original the biggest thing that like is the change to the control layout the page forward and reverse buttons seem to be the right size and UNK don accidently activate them like would sometimes do with my old kindle also find that prefer using the device without case purchased case but think that will use that only when travelling the screen and responsiveness are obviously improved from earlier kindles but never had problem with on the original kindle so to me those updates are actually less important that the other changes really the only thing that find as negative is the lack of an sd card slot although from practical UNK don think this will matter much basically think the kindle is refined mature product and definitely worth the upgrade from kindle overall am quite pleased with this product the price functionality and appearance all are improved from the UNK 1 remarkable device but few improvements would make it great received my kindle wifi few weeks ago and really like it decided not to go with the 3g because almost always have wireless connection when want to look for new books it seems like waste of money to go with the more expensive kindle unless you get daily downloads like newspapers because you can get free wifi at most coffee shops and lot of UNK find it hard to navigate the kindle store from my kindle so almost always buy books from my computer or my droid phone and download them to the kindle later pros the new kindle is far more responsive than the previous generations it is much thinner than expected and love how it feels in my hands the screen is perfect for reading it provides comfortable read in almost any situation cons haven noticed any software changes from the previous versions the free droid app on my phone is faster and easier to navigate than the actual kindle typing is easy but entering numbers is pain it seems like book prices have UNK significantly in the last six months 1 dont usually but im not the type to write reviews on products mainly because just dont have the time but for this particular item knew that review was UNK even before recieved my kindle if not only for the simple fact that during the long exciting process of waiting for my kindle all could do was simply read the reviews of others UNK did everyone help me if not that then make me more and more excited to UNK it literally counting down the days anyway enough of the UNK first recieved my amazon kindle cover with the light since the kindle was on back order it came just day before the actual kindle so it UNK that big of deal ordered my cover in the UNK although would agree with most of the reviews that its more of brick red not to bright not to dull perfect im red person so was pleased it UNK as dark and heavy as UNK the light UNK out easily although its not flimsy enough to just come out accidentally if you dont need it its secure and it does give fantastic amount of light at night when reading no problem at all seeing the words clearly although it isnt ridiculously bright as to where it would wake up sleeping partner next to you now they did give me an estimate arrival so on that day woke up early did my UNK early took care of all of the UNK up the house UNK and hoped that there was no delay so can spend the rest of the day relaxing with nothing to but enjoy spending quality time with my kindle as expected it had arrived on time hooking the kindle up to the cover was simple be sure to read the steps though because could see as to how someone might bit confused or make wrong move without it the look of the kindle is clean very neat loved the color choose to get the graphite to me it looked more new and the white to me seemed as if it would easily show dirt and or UNK marks if it was accidentally dropped once everything was set up everything was breeze once arrived your kindle should be automatically synced up to your amazon account allowing you to see their best sellers the different genres along with your wish list if your anything like me UNK made wish list while waiting for your kindle to arrive on books to download once it does the words are crisp clear almost clearer than an actual UNK book the fact that you can make the words bigger makes it only more helpful downloading books are quick and efficient the dictionary is amazing it really helps while reading coming across word and wanting definition right then and there especially loved how amazon allows you to read portion of the beginning of the book before you buy it just so you can get the UNK to see if your interested in purchasing it and when mean portion mean chapters reading is breeze as many others have stated before me while reading book people tend to look at how many pages they ve read already or how many they have left to the end of the UNK book with the kindle you dont even have the desire to anymore its just so much easier im avid reader but ive found that with the kindle im reading so much more faster you just get lost in the kindle so quickly time UNK by carry it around in my bag with no problem at all slim sleek and light although ive just had it for about day and half im truly impressed and blown away hopefully this review has helped anyone who was on the fence with going for kindle or another reader such as the nook or ipad 1 love my kindle my daughter had second generation kindle and loved it could not wait for the price to drop so could get my own let me say absolutely love it have had it almost two weeks now and am enjoying it thoroughly the wi fi connectivity is great have been able to use it everywhere ve gone ve downloaded many pdf files and they have converted with no trouble ve read reviews of people kindles freezing have not had any problems whatsoever ve also read poor reviews regarding amazon support system couldn disagree more my daughter has had problems with her 2nd generation kindle the support team has been nothing but helpful this week the screen on her kindle went out within 24 hours new kindle was on our doorstep at no cost to my daughter where can you get that kind of service these days am highly addicted to my new toy and would and have recommend it to anyone thinking of buying one 1 love it love it love it received my kindle with wifi yesterday and instantly fell in love with it it functions exactly as advertised and am very pleased it is light weight and can easily go anywhere with me the screen is very easy to see and the type can be adjusted so that even older eyes can see it very well think the virtual ink screen is very cool and looks exactly like the printed paper of book am thrilled with my purchase am also impressed with the collection of free ebooks available for download on amazon even before my kindle arrived had downloaded kindle for pc and was able to start my collection have said how much love this little device yet it is great and will recommend it highly to others 1 enjoying my kindle so happy am very please with my purchase the device feels comfortable to hold and text is pleasant to the eyes one request comes to mind UNK audio content from audible com account would be great downloading audible books would consume space too quickly my audible com blackberry app has this function this would be software update so it seems possible and big plus for kindle users audible UNK that would also produce additional UNK for amazon think audible com is part of the amazon family so amazon if your listening this would be positive UNK indeed an absolute win for your customers and amazon 1 my new son love it the kindle is now my favorite gadget very good quality fast and totally designed for reading recommend 1 the best keeps getting better so this is the second kindle that ve purchased for myself but the third overall made the mistake of UNK my kindle to my wife early in the summer however decided that it was becoming too difficult to share one device between the two of us especially since we were headed out on cruise in july seeing the opportunity to upgrade under the UNK of passing on my kindle to my mother in law who UNK fiction with my wife was able to upgrade to the latest for myself having had my device for nearly month have come to love it slightly smaller than my kindle it fits naturally in my hands and leaves little extra room in my briefcase in addition like the added speed of page turns but more than anything like the new color also purchased new binder with the light and really like the built in reading light compared to my add on light that fit my earlier binder this is so much cleaner looking as like the idea of UNK its power from my kindle versus having to find batteries for it 1 superb for reading books ipad is not even UNK if you love books forget ipad buy kindle there is no way to compare different technologies UNK reading books kindle is reading device ipad has the optional ability to read books do you like the feel of the paper the look of the paper the UNK of the ink over the paper but without the weight of big books the bad smell of old books or those books that can stand open while you are eating buy kindle you will be surprised 1 love my kindle had purchased kindle for my daughter previously and she UNK about it wasn sure like it myself but the more thought about it and then with the sale price just couldn resist love it it easy to read and fits in my purse so light weight the cover is great protects the screen and makes it easier to hold think use to pack several books for travel now can use the space for something else and no more bulky books now if you could just add light for night reading 1 can imagine better reader first ve read lot of the negative reviews on the k3 and they all seem to be about defective units suppose if you sell million units and 100 of them are defective that actually pretty good UNK if 01 of all k3 shipped are defective from the moment the box is opened not too bad amazon will handle the return fairly sure anyway let me start by saying this is my first kindle and my first reader read almost exclusively before bed with dim bedside table lamp and have relatively good eyesight don need glasses to read yet use the k3 without cover because it never leaves by bedside table and have the wi fi only k3 for the same reason the good the ink screen is simply better than paper in very low light conditions the display is crisp and clear without being UNK or distracting there no natural curve to the page like there always is with paper book and for that reason eliminates the UNK you get from an off center light source at the book UNK it is the perfect weight it feels significant but not burdensome not flimsy or cheap as some reviews have claimed comfortable the k3 UNK easily in the hand and even though you never see it in ad pictures thumb on the screen doesn leave UNK the screen is UNK free and can be handled without concern function the buttons have very subtle but solid click when pressed very quiet but you know when you ve pressed the page turn button without it being an event battery after the out of box overnight recharge ve read UNK per night for weeks and still show full battery can promise it will go the touted month with wi fi off but it strong so far the bad honestly can claim to be disappointed in any part of the k3 performance it came out of the box connected to my wi fi after the typical security check and has never missed beat since it reads flawlessly and is comfortable and efficient sent previously purchased kindle book tried it on the wife iphone not good to the k3 and it was there in 45 seconds even remembered the last page was on as advertised summary if you want an improvement on the classic book the k3 will satisfy you the reader disappears and just leaves you with the story buy try browse and store all you books in small convenient package it library in the palm of your hand if you want color back lit high def touch screen that takes pictures UNK youtube video has gps UNK UNK UNK UNK plays games UNK your mom UNK on UNK day UNK your back UNK flat UNK plays mp3s UNK skin UNK and only costs 600 the k3 will disappoint you if you want an electronic book that is UNK replacement for the traditional and lives up to it claims can UNK the battery yet try the k3 if you miss your paper book after month sell the k3 bet you won it that good 1 luv my new kindle wi fi very easy to use first thing did was to charge the battery and then started the unit linked with my amazon account and like magic my books downloaded to my unit very readable display with options to change font size believe this is one of my best purchases this year enjoy yours 1 that is what think about my kindle there is three things that don like about my kindle one it is really hard to find where the book you want to read after you have tons and tons of UNK books articles and magazines that all stored in your kindle they should find better way to sort and organize the mess the other problem that face is the way kindle handle pdf and mp3 files it is really hard to navigate pdf files also the only two options that you have when play music is to pause or to skip to the next mp3 file like the old ipod shuffle finally kindle doesn support all languages have many books in arabic and the only way can read them is through converting them to pdf files other than that the kindle look light small reliable and encourage help me to read more and more books 1 worth the but beware just received my kindle wi fi days ago and am very happy with my purchase so far first off amazon surprised me by shipping the product earlier than expected am new to book readers and am glad had purchased the kindle especially with its now more affordable pricing would have given the kindle stars if hadn encountered problem with connecting the kindle to my home wireless network the first day ve read that there were customers that were having the same problem the kindle couldn find my ssid and when manually entered it it still wouldn connect gave up and decided ll just transfer the books manually through usb connection to my pc was eager to just read on the kindle after did that the wireless suddenly worked it found my ssid and connected normally still don know what happened perhaps it was just UNK overall the kindle is great product but must say that ve become prone to buying more books than ve planned the kindle just makes it too easy to over indulge so be warned it would be perfect if someday the kindle version of books would be cheaper most books ve purchase are under 10 but it adds up the cost is not much for the publisher since they don have to print and ship anything so they should adjust the pricing accordingly 1 reading russian books have bought kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi display graphite 3g works globally latest generation and absolutely happy with reading russian books can download without any conversions and fees when send them to free lt UNK account and then download directly to kindle with wi fi or with 3g download from my amazon account to my laptop and transfer to kindle using usb thank you amazon 0 finally got one but it won work received my first kindle yesterday after waiting for years to purchase one was so excited charged it and happily began purchasing books to add to my library excitement turned to disappointment and UNK when the unit died today it still had about of the battery remaining when turned it off but now it won turn on and won charge from usb or outlet the light on the power supply is not even coming on 15 second hard reset did nothing contacted amazon and they are sending another one along with instructions to send back the first one should have UNK the UNK of others and waited until the bugs had been worked out am now wishing and hoping that the second unit does not turn into another disappointing UNK 1 love it at first when the readers started coming out was completely against it like to hold the actual book and recharging when it dies every time also didnt find the need to carry alot of books then started travelling lot and wanted to bring lot of books UNK me but didnt have space so did research looked at different readers saw the kindle saw it was the best from any other reader ordered it was so excited pre ordered it on sept 10 got on sunday sept 19 loved the sunday shipping when opened it realized how light the actual device is ive been using it for couple of days love it didnt buy books yet but downloaded some free ones and they are literally UNK my face into the story and the battery havent UNK whatsoever encourage you guys to buy this 1 kindle 3g wireless latest generation this is fantastic ereader and the pages look just like paperback it lightweight and very portable note purchased the case with the built in light that gets its power from the kindle how cool is that 1 the reader to rule them all have the kindle and now kindle with wireless and 3g upgrading to the kindle from the is definitely worth the cost to me the kindle seems to be refined version of the k2 the contrast is much much improved the text fonts appear black in the k3 as opposed to the k2 where they appear dark grey at best the page turn speed is improved like that the placement of the previous and forward page turn buttons on both left and right sides of the k3 on the k2 the previous page button is only on one side like the new way controller on the k3 like the smaller overall size of the k3 love the new graphite color of my k3 it UNK the black color of my amazon kindle cover very nicely have no issues at all with my kindle everything is functioning smoothly in my k3 with no reboots UNK or glitches in my opinion the kindle is wonderful reading UNK it still has the page turn flash which is UNK of ink but is not enough to UNK me at all it also took little bit to get used to the new placement of the UNK sleep button on the bottom of the k3 as opposed to the top of the k2 but it is not enough to UNK me at all either think that amazon did terrific job in upgrading the kindle with the kindle version 1 major improvement the screen on the k3 is major improvement over the previous model the font is super clear and sharp 1 excellent choice my wife and received our kindles three days ago and have had nothing but great experience to date we waited for while due to the kindle shortage but UNK believe the wait was worth it have no issues with the quality or ease of use of the kindle have yet to have it freeze up on me and the battery life is living up to its advertised expectation so far do wish that had spent the extra money for the 3g because have run into situations that wanted to download book and didn have access to wireless signal in other words the only bad thing about my kindle experience is my fault for not paying the extra money do wish that there were more kids books available like UNK of UNK kid or other UNK favorites hopefully that will change in the near future thanks amazon for great buying experience 1 it actually excellent for pdfs too as an academic ve bought the kindle exclusively for pdfs reading pdfs on the computer gets tiresome especially with the many distractions of the internet so nearby as does printing out UNK of uncomfortable to hold articles which later pile up with little hope of being accessed again ve only had the thing for day and already thrilled with the investment the crisp ink screen feels like reading book something that computer screens and print UNK fail at miserably now lot of people UNK that pdfs just aren designed for the format of the kindle this is UNK true but just after briefly fiddling around with the settings ve found the best pdf mode that one can expect simply rotate the screen UNK the text of single pdf page fits nicely on its side sure the kindle designed more for UNK holding but aside from being just bit more likely to UNK the screen this doesn present any issue that can see the only unfortunate thing is that some pdfs still stay at around an 10 font size 11 being average the may just not be for you if you ve sight concerns but then again so would be some printed books people have complained that the zoom only gets of the screen but this can be UNK around at your own control for single page style pdfs the zoom just no good do find myself reading with the device bit closer to my face than would with book but that doesn bother me now the pdfs that read are text based can imagine that some scientific articles with graphs may present problems of their own but for easy portable UNK fun reading of articles the kindle for you 1 amazing product my husband recently purchased this kindle for me use to be an avid reader but my sight was impaired so haven read in very long time was UNK with UNK UNK in my right eye and have UNK UNK UNK since receiving my kindle it has brought back the joy of reading for me since can change the font to whatever size need due to my impaired vision so happy that this product is out there for those of us who have vision issues received the kindle approximately weeks ago and half way through my second book if might suggest free book offered by amazon that is called the UNK by steven james my first and if you like UNK this is the one couldn put it down 1 amazing amazing amazing this kindle will UNK your expectations everything about it is amazing the speed the weight the size etc you can quickly put music on it books and tons of others would suggest this product to everyone some might say that they prefer the feel of real book but as soon as you hold kindle in your hands you will change your mind another cool feature is the availability to go on the web some may be skeptic but ve tried it and am very happy with the speed and how easy it was to do suggest buying the 3g wifi kindle just because it not that much more to spend and you re probably going to regret not getting the 3g there no fee for the 3g and it makes the kindle even more portable plus it very simple switching from 3g to wifi 1 better than thought the latest firmware fixes all past UNK it is stable and does what need it to UNK great for travel many books available so much better than the kobo kindle is thinner faster has better contrast fonts screen menu and options the kindle is faster too the kobo cases fit the kindle zero eye strain kindle books are way cheaper compared to physical at least in canada thru chapters is simple cheap single purpose device that does what it sets out to do give you the ability to read books no more UNK of UNK bookshelves still like books but if you are not settled and move kindle is way better way to go just to see put them side by side in the store and the screen on the kobo is so faded it looks like the batteries are half dead the fonts on the kindle are sharper in good way blacker UNK for less price downsides if you have bunch of pdf that you would like to read on the kindle think twice that pretty formatting is gone replaced by UNK text maybe if you are lucky there will be bold type or even picture or two show up other than that don expect much technical books with charts etc probably wont convert over to mobi or prc formats ps find prc formats much smaller than mobi newspapers are not that great try it and you will see what mean hate the screensavers not user replaceable yet not able to zoom to like UNK just 150 or more cannot change fonts on kindle books sometimes kindle books on the kindle store when accessed from the kindle are more expensive than if you use your pc like the UNK UNK of war 16 99 on the kindle and 99 thru your pc mac for the same book same kindle format don know if that is true for all books but the pricing is UNK 1 short and sweet went back and forth about purchasing the kindle do lots of traveling and always worried about running out of books to read but was purchasing kindle UNK of my beloved books how could device such as this duplicate the smell and feel of real book it can but it is just so much fun am finding that read the samples and then order real books on amazon except for the classics which are pretty much free and now all in one place didn give the kindle because originally didn realize that the owner guide was on the kindle itself and was frustrated trying to figure out how to use it this was my fault and the guide is clearly marked but kept on going back to the box UNK it looking for directions think it is easier to have printed directions that you can hold in your hand while figuring out how to use the kindle in summary think going to really really enjoy the kindle and don think it going to be the downfall of the printed book 1 even better ve been using the kindle for the past year and have loved it decided to go with the new kindle with wifi for two reasons my kindle was the us only model on the sprint network and service was not always great find that there aren many places where wifi isn available and it is much faster other than that the new kindle is much smaller lighter has improved screen contrast and several new features after receiving the new kindle can say that made the right decision in upgrading to the latest model especially with the new low price overall think amazon hit the ball out of the park with this one 0 don like ugly korean font in the kindle3 like kindle all things except for ugly korean font this is simple test font image link kindle english font very good kindle chinese font good kindle japanese font great kindle korean font suck korean UNK font for free awesome please change ugly font no for pretty font like no english ugly UNK font what do you think about this font think american user also don like ugly font for example america most UNK the worst fonts worst font ever please provide link 1 excellent for what it supposed to do bought this about month ago read books on it so far it perfect for what it supposed to do help you read books even though it has built in web browser it not the best feature because of the speed of the display and the browser itself it ok for reading articles on website but that it you won be able to do more than that if you want device for web browsing stick with the netbook or an android pad but it UNK is definitely the ink display it looks so natural couldn believe it after reading for hours my eyes felt just like reading regular paper book it light and easy to hold and turn pages great dictionary function easy bookmarking and easy management excellent to take when travelling except you can read it during take off and UNK which is rather minor aspect of it it really an investment since now have access to wide range of books in english which are more difficult to get in UNK weeks delivery time here the cost is also an important advantage kindle book can be around 10 usd compared to 15 20 usd for the paper version including here the shipping costs overseas the one thing it definitely needs is cover to protect it otherwise if slipped in laptop case or bag it might get UNK or seem used faster than normal can see why sales of kindle books has gone so far it all because of this beautiful device 1 from model to UNK skipped the kindle generation as it came out only couple of months after bought the kindle and since was quite happy with my k1 saw no reason to upgrade quite so soon for this reason can really compare the k3 with the k2 how would describe the k3 sleek zippy UNK functional and joy to use it worked right out of the box with no problems the 3g works flawlessly and most of the menus are fairly intuitive very slim compared to the k1 almost UNK small for my hands to use comfortably or perhaps still used to the much UNK first generation kindle do miss that was able to click the next button on my k1 one handed and am unable to do that on the k3 as the buttons besides being smaller are much UNK at the moment using the device naked as ve UNK to wait until oberon design comes out with their k3 designed covers rather than buying something to use in the meantime the screen contrast is crisp and clean although the background is still quite gray not sure why ink seems unable to support at least an UNK or other off white pure white would be too hard on the eyes ve not even run through the first battery charge yet and read quite lot do keep the wireless turned off however as see no sense in having it on except when downloading or browsing the k1 would suck juice like there no tomorrow when had the UNK on to the extent that UNK not try to download or browse unless had it plugged in it joy not to have to worry about that any more one thing UNK wish amazon or some UNK somewhere would do is to come up with better way to display footnotes read quite lot of british UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK which has many footnotes by the time ve managed to get the cursor to where can click on footnote link ve forgotten what it is it supposed to be UNK 1 users guide for those on the computer learning curve be aware amazon does not include directions in the users guide for installing book from source other than from the kindle store their representative will walk you through the process but you do need to ask 1 why didn get the new one finally bought the kindle2 the next week they come out with brand new version for less money like my kindle but wish knew about the other one first 1 substantial upgrade amazon put lot of thought into the new kindle after using it couple of weeks now can find no downside to the changes the screen is beautiful the extra speed and memory are welcome the web browser is significantly better and the addition of wi fi adds UNK useful options used to email long articles to the free kindle email account then transfer them once week with usb to computer connection emailing them to the same account now means they show up wirelessly on the device read lot of long articles and appreciate this as much as any of the changes almost as helpful wi fi means you now have access to all of your audible purchases change didn know about until started playing around with it once you set up your account with the amazon account info navigate to the audible page on the kindle and log in all of your audiobooks show up in the archived items collection the files are large so you couldn download too many at once but deleted audiobooks remain in the archive whenever you re ready for them even through the speaker they sound great for people with vision problems the combination of text to speech which works on those emailed articles and audible access makes the kindle their best choice think the new web browser makes blog subscriptions lot better as the links are less painful to follow article mode is another UNK improvement the good features that didn change are the kindle store annotations search capabilities and competitive price ve preferred the aesthetics of the sony models in the past but the gap has UNK lot and would recommend the kindle to new book readers at this point 1 text to speech using the kindle text to speech option on brief history of time is like having stephen hawking reading it to you himself 1 get it as kindle UNK user am big fan of the kindles just got the new kindle and wifi only get it it is wonderful no complaints good job guys you built simple high quality product that does exactly what it is supposed to do 1 nice device bad service experience okay going to rate the kindle and amazon kindle support as had problems with my new kindle device overall really like it the screen is great and very clear the brighter the lighting the clearer the screen it takes little getting used to navigating as keep wanting to use the left forward button as reverse and the right forward button as next page that my bad and need to get used to it UNK as to what the numbers on the bottom of the screen mean other than the percentage ll cover that below pros great screen great size easy to hold and read my favorite is being able to put it down and read while eating lunch can do that with paper back easy downloading of books and very fast cons my device kept rebooting and losing the bookmark big pain ll cover the service received below there are no traditional page numbers so if you lose bookmark good luck figuring out where you were kind of like dropping your book with no bookmark only worse asked the support rep to explain the numbers and he said they are kind of like electronic page numbers but they don UNK to real page numbers hmmmm tech support is bad on to my support experience within day of using the device noticed it would reboot and lose the bookmark whenever woke it up decided to contact kindle support after few days of experiencing this here is my experience UNK for yourself day called kindle support at around UNK explained my problem and was told that needed to plug the kindle in and leave it be for 24 hours they were going to send new firmware load sometime in the next 24 hours and would get an email once it loaded at this point was disappointed that couldn use the device for 24 hours day waited 24 hours no email and no sign of download woke up the device and it rebooted called support and was told that they needed to send new firmware load and that it would be immediate explained that they had promised to do this the day before but was told it would take 24 hours this rep said it takes mins and that would get the email within mins if not immediately she then stated that it would take care of the problem but if it didn that she was UNK my account to send me new device if called back with the same problem asked if she could see if they sent the download during the last 24 hours and she said no great waited my mins 30 mins later no email no download no nothing called again and this time the rep looked up my account and said was sent the load the day before at 40 pm remember the last rep said she couldn look up that info asked if there was way to double check if received it and he said sure let check your version sure enough had the new firmware version on there he said great lets reboot it and see if it works of course it worked after rebooting but the issue still UNK that if had received the load the day before and it self rebooted when woke it up 30 mins before still had the problem he agreed that might still have the problem and offered to put me on list to UNK when they had their next release come out unknown date at that point had to UNK that they send me new device because knew darn well would never be notified and wasn going to wait until unknown to fix this problem he agreed and sent me new device day got an email from amazon warning me that due to severe weather the delivery of my device might be delayed the device was already on my doorstep plugged in my new kindle and noticed it has the old firmware on it let see what happens so like the kindle although sometimes miss being able to throw paperback in my car and not worry as for the service not impressed updated well the replacement kindle has worked flawlessly no reboots or any other issues even with the old firmware happy to report that it trouble free 1 fan UNK UNK excellent love kindle and it did arrive even before the date estimated in perfect conditions in spite of the UNK shipping it even better than how it appeared on the description 1 good but not perfect after upgrade the 01 the freeze reset problem seems to be resolved super good customer service only two major complains chinese support is bad txt file even in UNK can not open or not open correctly it looks ok after converted to mobi however the chinese UNK does not display correctly the web browser does not support opening link to new window some website has link that will open new window in your computer understand kindle unlike computer does not open more than one browser at same time but there must be way to make this kind of link work the browser can leave the current page and just open the link in the same window in that way at least can open the link one suggestion like to see an article mode in pdf something like UNK does in apple ios 1 awesome after the software update bought this for my wife and she been using it for about week now the first few days she experienced the widely reported freezing and random re boot issues also the browser rarely worked and wouldn let her connect to facebook or other sites but even with those issues she really liked the kindle as reader then we read about the newly released software update for the kindle called firmware version found here http www amazon com gp help customer display html ie UNK UNK UNK after installing that update days ago her kindle has experienced none of the previous issues it has not frozen re booted or failed to connect to website with the built in browser and it even seems quicker page turns downloads browser responsiveness etc so for anyone having issues with their new kindle make sure you have the latest firmware version and think you ll have the device you were expecting good job amazon for UNK the issues quickly 1 UNK of book UNK was one of those people never would break and buy an book prefer the touch the smell the feel of paper book in my hands there was no way an electronic device could even compare but the price dropped so ordered the kindle despite my UNK of UNK the little UNK once it arrived after few weeks had already ordered few books and was just waiting for it to make it appearance after it was delivered UNK it UNK it from it little box and turned it on it lit up for me and easily connected to my wifi and those books downloaded and that was all she wrote instant love the next night had lovely UNK 1 first time user we just received the kindle wi fi and 3g this is our first kindle have wanted to purchase one before they were even popular would mention the name to friends and family and they would ask the what we like the quickness and the access to the internet overall great purchase we purchased the cover orange with light its very nice cons my husband did not like the fact that few books read free but were not free when he went to download do not like the small keys or the feel of the material its made out of nor the fact its not touch will have to write review again after we have spent time learning the kindle 1 neat reading device recently got the kindle wireless edition for 139 do not need the 3g whispernet option can think of it ever being useful my primary goal is to use this for reading technical manuals in pdf yes UNK like that deal with it and books especially the public domain classics don intend to use this to buy ebooks and read prefer UNK for that that anyway this reader rocks for my requirements it is fast relative to the other eink technology based readers out there had got the sony UNK last year and returned it in day the page turns on that were painfully slow kindle is quick enough to not be distraction go buy it you won be disappointed 1 no tech wife loves it recently bought my wife kindle for our anniversary she not into techie gadgets at all UNK her 10 year old UNK phone to new ones we ve had her try she does not like using computer either yet she taken to the kindle right away an avid reader she been finding holding book open was beginning to bother her thumbs the kindle is easy to hold for long periods and her thumbs are feeling better she on her second book already 1 loving my kindle got kindle for my mom for mother day and ever since ve been wanting one of my own finally broke down and ordered one just as the new model was announced and it was totally worth the month and half wait for the new 3rd generation to be shipped haven had any experience with any other ereaders so can compare the kindle to any others on the market but can certainly say that the kindle is an excellent investment and am delighted with my purchase here are my opinions on specific aspects of the kindle screen the screen is very clear and bright and the text is nice and dark which makes it very easy to read have taken my kindle with me to read in low lit UNK to pass the time while waiting for movie and had no trouble reading it also have little trouble reading it in UNK lit areas where one might have issues with tablet computer or cell phone kindle app size weight the kindle is small and incredibly light don even really feel it when holding it for extended periods of time have literally read book on it all day and not once found it UNK weight noticeable find it similar in size to an UNK paperback not quite as little as standard paperback but still plenty small and easy to handle not cumbersome or awkward to read at all buttons the keys on the kindle keypad are quite small and can see these being UNK for someone who has difficulty typing with small keys the page buttons are nicely sized however and find them perfectly spaced for turning the page forward or backward in one handed grip page refresh pages refresh incredibly quick there is no real UNK of my reading as move on from page to page it seems about the same as turning page in novel perhaps even faster and don find need to press the button split second early to account for the refresh time battery life the battery seems solid get week week and half out of my kindle before need to plug it in for couple of hours to recharge have been using it purely for reading though so am not sure what effect the other kindle features may have on battery life other features have not UNK my kindle for any of it other features beyond simply reading so am unable to offer my opinion on any of them definitely recommend the kindle for any reader love mine and my UNK bookshelves will thank me for all the space ll be saving getting as many ebooks as possible rather than novels 1 fabulous absolutely adore my kindle it has so many awesome features that would not even know where to start will tell you that had to take trip and plugged my kindle into the mp3 jack in my car and turned on the text to speech function wow she read my book to me the whole way by far easiest drive ever this toy is worth every penny 1 loving it first let me say that ve only owned my kindle for few days now but so far really loving it pros the text is very easy to read and you can easily customize the font size and orientation live with someone who is visually impaired so that great for her actually read it by candle light the first night owned it because we had power UNK downloads are quick and easy and the interface is pretty intuitive in many ways it more convenient that carrying around paperback actually reading more now than have since was lot younger can skip around between books at will due to it UNK storage capacity cons had tiny problem when first tried to set it up to access my network the device reported that had entered an UNK password even though it had actually connected properly didn realize it had until saw that it was doing an update since it fixed itself it no huge deal also UNK because of the size of the display it may be better on the dx don know searching shopping for books is lot easier on pc than on the device also searches end up giving lots of UNK results about half the books ve looked for just are not available yet for the kindle also be aware that the kindle unlike most other readers does not support pub format which most public libraries use knew this going in but feel it something that everyone needs to know before making the investment bottom line is that love my new kindle it not perfect but it close enough for me 1 update from difficult to use to like it page turning buttons are in the wrong place should be on the top when holding kindle the fingers rest on the page turning buttons sounds good but the UNK pressure will UNK turn the page ok when book reading just turn the page back however when searching books or lists one holds kindle with one hand and UNK data with the other all is lost if page turning button is activated the search must be UNK and search information must be UNK on the graphite kindle the keyboard is horrible cannot be read in dim light the key UNK are in UNK white should be in bright white so the keys can be recognized under any lighting source following UNK UNK purchased non lighted kindle cover from amazon page turning button location problem solved have therefore changed my rating from don like it to like it also attached the bonus booklight which came with my amazon order for UNK UNK UNK to the bottom edge of the cover to light the key board the booklight fit isn the greatest but it helps 1 kindle wifi only this is the first kindle have owned purchased the 139 00 kindle wifi only nothing wrong with this unit but if had to do over again would have probably spent the extra 50 for the wifi 3g unit so could connect online in more places the controls to manipulate the data are very easy to learn and the text is easy to read at the smallest font size and is adjustable to larger sizes if you need it amazon offers wide variety of books at very fair price with UNK of the older classics at no cost ordering from amazon is easy from the unit and downloading takes only about 14 seconds once you are in wifi area you can even order from remote computer and the book will download to your kindle you can upload and play mp3 files to the unit and the unit also offers text to speech not great feature plays in male or female voice but the voices are robotic without any UNK don expect books on tape the speakers are more than adequate for the mp3 audio sounds even better if you use headphones gave the unit five stars because it is easy to operate and read but would suggest the following changes or updates although they would probably come with an increase in price add remote control to allow you to page forward or back and adjust the volume constantly having to hit the buttons on the side or bottom becomes UNK also add capability to individually see select and play uploaded mp3 files UNK remote control add voice UNK software UNK simple phrases like page forward page back play stop next song etc useful if you are busy with your hands sometimes read it at my desk at work while eating lunch suggest adding page and sound controls to the front of the unit so that if it is laying flat you could just press key to change the page or adjust the sound the mp3 selection is listed under experimental so perhaps changes are in store right now you can only start stop and move forward alt to the next song you can upload and name music files mp3 format only and folders to the unit from your computer however once uploaded there is no way to display them on the unit so that you can see what is loaded and can individually select song hopefully this capability will be added in the next generation or maybe made software fix in the current one 1 excellent UNK improvement this is my third kindle and UNK solid improvement over the previous generation the screen contrast is excellent and lets face it if you forget about all the UNK UNK features wifi 3g etc its all about reading experience and that dependent on the device readability and to that end the text is significantly clearer and easier to read screen refreshes are still too slow but can live with that wifi seems to me unnecessary feature but used it to transfer all my content initially to the new device but given the relatively small size of individual purchases cant see why would really need wifi speeds on an UNK basis content is king the range and price of the ebooks from amazon UNK the offering from apple and am an UNK have apple computers but am skipping the ipad and sticking to the kindle for my book reading live in hot UNK UNK and have been using the kindle when am by the pool with no problems in UNK to the heat or screen UNK my iphone however UNK and cant be read under the bright UNK sun so UNK that this will be the case with the ipad all in all and given the price great product 1 k3 excellent love it but if could make change would UNK the buttons for page forward backward to the way the UNK so they UNK UNK not UNK for me it would make the device easier to hold without cover 1 awesome can read something close it UNK it and UNK right where left off there is so much convenience in this device it seems almost UNK to read printed book the wifi works great the 3g works great the usb works great it light and easy to hold it easy to see this eink thing is fabulous it all fabulous it revolutionary it like the difference between the UNK and the word processor it UNK innovative change for reading 1 kindle worth the waits stars hi first ereader so first kindle and had to wait weeks before release and then almost weeks for delivery but finally it made it to my door and can let it go everywhere go bring it with me and show it to UNK and even some order theirs really easy to adjust and set it up my wife keep looking at me so don become anti social to my surrounding and look at me also so am not always on amazon to purchase books thank you very much it was gift to me from me with all my love and it is really appreciated 1 so far so good just got the k3 in the mail plugged it in turned it on set up took UNK 15 books loaded bought the k3 for reading and that what it does much smaller and lighter than the nook page turns are fast great product 1 kindle 3g best ereader yet received the kindle 3g as gift last week ve never had any other ereader have been using the kindle app on my iphone for reading which is pretty good especially if it dark out the back lit screen makes it easier however the back lit screen is really hard on your eyes after few hours or reading the new kindle 3g is not only fast but very easy on the eyes the font is easy to read the pages load very quickly and was able to download entire books in less than 60 seconds on the 3g network not sure if going to purchase the new cover that has the integrated reading light the cover seems to weigh as much if not more than the actual kindle the UNK is out on the 60 case downloaded some of my mp3 files today have yet to test that feature hopefully it will be as easy as everything else has been to set up 1 great but have suggestion definitely quality product and superior to ipad for reading the text to voice function has pronunciation issues what would like to see is the capability to buy both the book in kindle format along with the audible version at discounted price since amazon owns also it shouldn be difficult to synch those two formats it would be lot superior to the text to voice functionality everything else about the latest generation my first purchase makes it really cool on trips don have to lug much weight along in the form of books and you can use it at the beach to read one more suggestion there should button that you can press to put it instantly in the sleep mode find that accidentally move to another page sometimes with the simple act of placing it on the table 1 love it bought the kindle for my wife set it up for her bought cover for it and downloaded few books she still had three books from the library that she wanted to read so used it read two books in four days something ve not done in years leaving for vacation in couple of weeks going to have to buy another one it will be my 3rd also bought one for my UNK son the same time bought my wife simple to use it amazing love it 1 like book only better really wanted kindle for the convenience to be honest don travel much not out in the middle of nowhere with no bookstores really don have need for kindle this thing is amazing though and it has completely improved the way read now instead of taking an hour to go to the bookstore just to find out they might not have the book want can purchase almost any book would want instantly on the kindle it quite awesome the page turns are super fast the screen looks amazingly clear haven found single thing that doesn work on the device the text to voice thing where the kindle will read to you is little silly though it needs some work if they ever intend to make that UNK feature can imagine anyone actually enjoying listening to robot read to you without regard for UNK or voice inflection oh well that side feature that they even label as experimental overall love the kindle can set it on the table at lunch and read while eating and still have both hands free to hold my UNK it lot easier to UNK than book in almost situation like laying in bed or on the couch am really complaining about book being hard to UNK it fast and convenient and makes you look super sexy or UNK whatever just get it you won be disappointed 1 this is an awesome device have been thinking about an reader for long time and was going to get an ipad until the new kindle came out am so glad bought the kindle it very light and perfect for an airplane it also is easy to read outside in the sun the downloads are really fast highly recommend this for someone whose primary UNK is to read books 0 no wifi was among the first to receive it having the original kindle since its release lived the design but ordered the wifi only model since don travel it would not connect to my router there are eight other wireless devices including entertainment devices that never had problem instantly working wait few months and will give the 3g model try 1 amazing well just few hours with this thing and am amazed it cool guys 1 awesome did not think would like the kindle but ordered it for an upcoming trip am very pleased with it it will make packing for month stay overseas much easier can pack lots of reading material in small device that weights almost nothing more space for UNK 1 the UNK made me do it with the UNK now charging for checked luggage was concerned about the weight of the books in my UNK started UNK and discovered that the kindle was all needed it has been week since she entered my life UNK call her UNK who knew that would UNK my love of reading have carried her with me everywhere go since the day got her to say that am love is definitely an understatement 1 reading only gets better with the kindle received the wifi 3g kindle for my birthday and absolutely adore it read UNK and the kindle only supports this habit ve been able to upload for free over 40 books mostly classics that ve been meaning to read for long time love the internet browser as well it quite quick and nice for checking email on the go or looking up new UNK introduced in books via wikipedia the only drawback ve found to reading on the kindle is that you don get that feeling of satisfaction from holding huge book in your hands and UNK yourself on your effort after UNK it the percentage counter doesn quite UNK the same feeling however one of those who UNK content over UNK so it doesn really affect my view of the device of course the kindle hasn replaced real books for me either still check them out at the library when they re too expensive for me and own many of those huge books so can read them when feel the need also received kindle cover with light though it does make the device lot heavier it perfectly protecting and isn problem on the go when sit down at home for some long term reading just take it out of the cover so can hold it comfortably the light is also very useful my only complaint is the battery life obviously the internet access drains the battery but don use it or even have it turned on extensively enough to warrant how quickly mine goes also use the light occasionally which is huge charge UNK so that factors into it however my kindle charge UNK to under the UNK mark in two days with perhaps not even an hour of light use and maybe little more time than that with the wifi 3g on ve had to charge it at least once every four days to bring the battery back up to full it could just be that use the extras and don realize how much energy they UNK but it may be flaw in my device either way not too put out because can just charge it with my cell phone but it still UNK from the week or two expected between charges finally highly recommend buying the kindle if you re reader who still iffy what with all the free books and the free 3g how in did they do that it pays for itself very quickly it makes finding the time to read for pleasure so much easier for busy student like me 1 text to voice is unique and special my wife and have been using kindles for years she has problems UNK her eyes and depends on text to voice enabled materials went to purchase an apple ipad for her but UNK that thought when was surprised to learn that they lacked text to voice UNK this is an important usually not mentioned and UNK benefit unique to the kindle UNK the day when all kindle materials including newspapers and periodicals are text to voice enabled 1 amazing device previously owned kindle the difference in the brightness of the screen is amazing the kindle is truly UNK device the kindle store loads faster than ever before books are downloading almost faster than can click on them the device itself is lightweight almost not there at all am in love lol definitely worth the money 1 great researched before bought hi all actually went to the store to look at the nook and then read for weeks online reviews for both devices before bought the kindle with and wifi love the fact that can have all the classics at my fingertips and read whenever and wherever want without heavy book worked in library science for years and would UNK this to anyone that loves books you can have 5000 books in one device the font is great along with the low light contrast wear glasses to it helps when am in bed reading the keyboard and the fact that it wireless sold me on this vs the nook kudos amazon 1 was kindle skeptic few years ago bought first gen kindle for my wife and she uses it UNK but enjoys it travel good deal and like to read when am on the road more so than do when am home when this new generation came out my wife UNK me to get one so far ve been impressed the design is much better than the original and got lighted cover that lets me read in bed without trouble the display has better contrast than the original and refreshes nicely there are nice features in the software such as remembering where you last read which has become my equivalent of being able to stick my thumb in book with the added advantage that search the text to look for what am trying to find the disadvantage of the kindle is that cannot read it when want to most during UNK and UNK on flights but its size weight ease of use and overall quality make it good traveling companion as does the free international wireless 3g haven tried it internationally yet outside of europe and haven been able to find the wireless specs but the online coverage map leads me to believe that it has UNK UNK in addition to other wireless UNK which means it should work in japan and south korea big UNK in china and most other places hope so in the end am happy to own it and would recommend it to others 0 disappointing wi fi stopped working after the first day the device kept on re boot itself have to return it 1 kindle 3g wifi is very usable for web browsing have found the kindle is very usable for internet browsing some one have created their own page for kindle nook navigation like the one in this link or you can use the blog post to do the trick like this one the trick is to use very large font so you do not need to zoom the page also the html needs to be as short as possible so the kindle can load it very quickly even over 3g cell phone network 1 takes getting used to but great have had my kindle for about month the first day received it was excited but disappointed found it awkward to hold and trying to read in bed was even more difficult although not heavy it was different than traditional book and found it hard to find out where to put my hands to hold the device but found out quickly that with any new device it takes time to adjust now absolutely love my kindle was afraid to put my fingers on the face or screen so was trying to hold it by the edges quickly found out you can put your fingers on the screen without UNK it it is UNK than realized purchased the kindle for reading and although it has the browser capabilities rarely use it have over 22 books on my kindle and read it every night downloading through whispernet or even transferring pdf or other format to the kindle is as easy as drag and drop pros after month with the 3g only turned on to download new books the battery was still half full now that is amazing the best part is the eink technology unlike computer or lcd screen the kindle is easy on the eyes after day of staring at the computer screen it is nice to sit down and read book and the ease of turning the page is better than traditional paper book too just click the button and UNK lastly of course is the savings on resources meaning trees and paper am able to read my favorite authors without having to lug around books that know will end up in the UNK someday cons although awkward at first you will soon become accustomed to the kindle you should have cover as it is entirely UNK and if you plan to put it in purse or travel with it it would be good to protect the device it did freeze up one time but simple fix is to slide the turn on UNK and hold it for 15 seconds then release the kindle will reboot has only happened once so sure that is just UNK would like the kindle to handle pdf directly but am sure that will be in future device 1 absolutely love it as canadian ve wanted kindle for few years now but was unable to purchase one because of united states copyright UNK and they were UNK expensive at the time however within the last year october of last year the kindle has finally launched where it can be purchased internationally although last year not known it and didn learn so until earlier this month as soon as found out ordered one immediately and waited not an UNK or UNK user so when was waiting for it to arrive decided to read reviews you can read five star reviews until your head UNK but being UNK technology UNK decided to read selection of two reviews of each rating the lower star count reviews had me UNK my purchase that perhaps would receive unit that doesn work or would serve me only as paper weight today it arrived in its own little box when saw the screen thought someone had placed UNK on the screen and tried to figure out where the UNK was to peel it off before realized it was the device screen itself even in its turned off mode the kindle provides something for you to see my own UNK aside found the device to be UNK but after couple of hours with the device found that those reviews that made me UNK my purchase were not concern for me downloaded number of classics to the device such as dracula the UNK UNK sherlock holmes there large selection of free classics to be seen and UNK and ll wonder about the not so free books soon enough on both sides of the device are pair of page turning buttons forward and backward though one could just as easily progress the story by using the down button on the navigator tried the text to speech feature that been oh so UNK lately and figured out as soon as started it that it wasn the UNK that the author UNK expected it to be the text to speech feature UNK on UNK but UNK periods and white space which means that it goes from one sentence to the next and one paragraph to the next without pause so the only time it slows is when UNK is encountered for this reason it may be suitable for visually impaired user due to UNK sense of hearing but for typical reader would make for poor UNK read there are few things which might complain about as anyone else might as well but find them to be at least UNK this is one christmas where ll actually have what wanted under the tree but it only months and days away so can wait it feels little UNK in my hand but then again not used to holding things for extended periods so perhaps feel the same UNK with book but ve become far too UNK in reading everything on the computer that it will be nice to read something away from the computer the kindle isn overly complicated but it not brain dead simple either take it from this 25 year old review when say it ll take little time getting used to but you will most likely enjoy kindle but as far as devices go most other devices will work too use amazon as the primary online market place to purchase things so to me this device just made sense go online see book want and now can purchase it immediately and have it delivered directly to the kindle no shipping or handling no need to wait and no need to transfer the book myself now that convenient 1 an excellent device with some huge limitations my new kindle is excellent it does exactly what want re ebooks exactly as want it to do it but it lacks features all of the missing features would only require software upgrade so highly recommend this device to everyone if it meets their needs here my needs and how well it rates for me ebooks the screen is amazing its clear and has much higher resolution than was expecting its but don care because don need colour mp3s this experimental feature is currently completely useless there no visible controls but with keyboard shortcuts its not possible to select the track to play or even to UNK the invisible list of songs its either play it all in UNK or nothing the sound quality though really is very good so when they add media player type features this will probably be excellent pdfs it reads everything ve tried including some UNK ones wasn convinced this feature would work but it does some pdfs look crap but this is problem with the pdfs not the kindle its trying to display an UNK page on inch screen the landscape feature helps but prefer better zoom options it has fit to screen 150 200 300 and actual size love if they added custom size and fix to screen but remove white borders these borders are necessary in real books but not an ebook touch look feel very cool durability well ve had it for day but it seems fairly UNK wouldn like to test it but don think it ll fall apart any time soon usb it uses stupid custom usb cable but my ipod charger will charge it so ll UNK them 0 great reader but not for pdf received my order happily mainly wanted to use it for reading pdf science technology papers and books which usually have lot of figures and tables and UNK tried the following method to read pdf native pan zoom this proved to be too UNK for reading you cannot finish reading line smoothly do not even mention good read on whole article try to send my pdf to amazon to convert the conversion result is bad figures are destroyed because some of texts on it are removed and changed location also tried to find some free software to do UNK by myself like convert pdf UNK UNK then from UNK to prc etc did not find good solution however need to say this is great device for reading novels had considered kindle dx but feel that one is too heavy and big to be portable for reading pdf well would like to suggest amazon provide device whose size is in between dx and the small such that it is not too big and people still can get reasonable width when they ready in horizontal layout provide smooth scrolling now the scrolling is by steps which simply destroyed the reading experience provide smooth zooming now the zooming is by steps you get those steps actual width 150 200 300 fit to width UNK UNK and zooming together people can get by by zooming and positioning their contents to the right size to get rid of margin and let real contents take the precious real display estate and to get rid of some useless UNK box on the pdf file perhaps need to UNK my thinking about dx and ipad to see whichever is better UNK my reading need 1 love it have had my kindle for several days now and have to say love it this is my UNK reader and was unsure if would enjoy reading on such device gift from my husband the kindle is sturdy but light and have not encountered any of the glitches others have complained about so far the one comment would have specifically for people who have never used device like this is the the flash you see between pages or screens takes little getting used to am not complaining had read reviews before purchasing that had talked about this am just saying it is little disconcerting at first while at first did not think would be able to get use to it days later hardly notice it at all have no previous experience to compare but the books download quickly and everything UNK to book reading runs smoothly the internet is little cumbersome to navigate but that is not what this device was purchased for the kindle does what it was meant to do beautifully 1 quick shipping great product ordered the new kindle for my girlfriend knowing that would probably have to wait month to receive it to my pleasant surprise it arrived in under weeks my girlfriend loves it the screen is awesome there are lots of free books and few fun games to play it was definitely worth every penny spent on it 1 it not perfect but it still great ve been using my latest generation wifi kindle for five months now this is my first book reader and here are some thoughts overall love this device all the obvious advantages apply you can carry around large collection of books and read them on device that UNK and in many ways exceeds paper for comfort my review is UNK UNK into pros and cons for whatever reason have more to say about the cons even though the pros far outweigh them in my mind the below should be UNK in few UNK haven used any of the social networking features and have done very little marking of text and have no interest in the voice features really just want it to be better way to read books pros the screen is gorgeous and easy on the eyes especially in bright light the text is crisp and the option to select font size and some other text layout UNK is very nice this will be critical to some people in my mid 40 and will soon need reading glasses single page turns are reasonably fast actually less irritating than with paper expected this to be con but for UNK reading mostly forward occasionally back it very nice the device is small and light just as sleek as advertised it fits in some pockets even with case most cases roughly double the weight and bulk the option to download free samples from amazon is wonderful shop on amazon when you find book you might like to read grab the sample when you re ready to read it buy it although beware clicking on the buy button does not ask for UNK or show you the price before UNK the purchase for me and for many people 3g would be pointless so the wifi kindle is great bargain the battery life is terrific especially if you turn off wifi and not too bad with wifi on surprisingly the little speakers are not terrible good enough to enjoy music if you re not too picky the interface for that needs some work pdf reading and web browsing will never be ideal on an ink device but they re UNK for spot use especially the latter the email facility for converting doc and other format files to use on your kindle works well and is very convenient it works like this amazon provides an email address you or your UNK friends email stuff to it and it shows up on your kindle and as long as you do it over wifi which is the only option with this model it free the availability of instant dictionary lookup is tremendous advantage over paper books UNK the pop up dictionary UNK only give you two lines the rest is click away hope this will become UNK at some point just starting to get into the notes and highlighting features this is very cool and will eventually be even UNK although there are some software issues with it right now cons the biggest con for me is drm copy protection this may be complete non issue for some people and complete deal killer for others for me it somewhere in the middle it very important to understand that if you buy book for your kindle you can only use that book on your kindle or on devices that run the kindle software right now you can get kindle software for many devices but not all and there are no UNK for the future amazon gets to decide where you can read your books now and in the future and you re forced to stick with amazon store if you want to buy copy protected books you can shop elsewhere if you get great new book reader software for your computer or tablet it won work with your kindle books you can only read them with amazon application and you can only do the things that software lets you do you can for the most part lend kindle books to friends recently amazon announced that some titles will be lend able in very limited way other cons are more UNK the screen is matte but slightly reflective more so than paper meaning that you have to be careful about your reading position if there is light somewhere behind you this seems to only be problem in dim UNK though the software is fair but there are things to UNK out there no easy way to navigate larger collections of books this may be tricky to fix with the UNK of ink there are occasional minor glitches in the text layout and paging it little awkward to navigate within book although there are some helpful shortcuts books are often cheaper than physical books but not always and not generally by as much as one would expect occasionally you run into kindle books that are UNK or even substantially more expensive than their print counterparts UNK only two or three fonts are provided realize that nobody needs UNK UNK fonts for reading text and the ones they provide are fair but if had choice of dozen UNK fonts don think the ones amazon chose would necessarily be my top choices even if it just hidden advanced feature more fonts or UNK fonts would seem like no brainer for future update UNK for some reason some books don use the font you ve selected try the sample of UNK to see what mean there should be an UNK option as there is in most web browsers while light and comfortable in the hand haven found comfortable one handed holding position that also gives me good access to the page turn buttons the best position has my thumb UNK above the keyboard and then either slide it to the page turn buttons risk of dropping it slows reading or use the other hand second best position is gripping it across the back from which position you can pull the buttons back at an UNK angle this UNK one of the kindle best features the fact that it light enough for one handed reading outside the latest books it hit or miss whether or not book will be available for the kindle imagine this situation will improve dramatically over the next few years but for now unless you choose your reading material by its kindle availability or you happen to read mostly UNK don expect to make complete transition right away of those books that are available many books have errors in UNK that appear to be due to faulty UNK there generally aren so many that it huge drawback but for some books there are enough to make it irritating assume this mostly UNK to older books that had to be scanned UNK there seems to be no UNK for UNK these errors so that they can be fixed this would seem like an obvious feature to have in connected book reader but it not on the kindle ink is easier on your eyes than an lcd panel and overall prefer it for reading anything that is mostly text but bear in mind its drawbacks it not lighted it not in color the resolution is not great for figures and you can scroll around on the screen at least not quickly so you really just want to use it for text maybe with the occasional non detailed figure finally whose brilliant idea was it to call this the latest generation kindle latest is relative the name is just going to cause problems once the next kindle comes out ve mostly seen it called the kindle and that would have been much UNK move for the official name that about it love my kindle UNK and all the next generation will be even better and this generation will improve with software updates but for right now it great enough to make me happy 1 it not fair very frustrated and dissapointed cause it came without gift wrap even though paid for it one of the items ordered was just received while ago ordered kindle and UNK UNK and ordered them UNK as gifts they were day presents the delivery was very fast even though it had to be done in mexico but there are some UNK the items were not delivered together and was told that the UNK UNK arrived in UNK and it there at the UNK custom office for UNK while the kindle arrived in the city of UNK UNK UNK is close to the city of delivery UNK UNK thank god cause it was delivered few hours ago the product it simply excellent really recomend it but very frustrated and dissapointed cause it came without gift wrap even though paid for it it also came with the package box UNK and with no gift note as ordered what shame cause it wasn surprise at all for the person who received it it not fair know amazon isn responsible for this but guess ll never order gift wrap again nor gift note better use the money for something else so if you order from mexico consider this problem before paying for something you won receive hope can contact amazon to tell directly them about this problem so they can consider using different delivery company in mexico instead of ups 1 how many stars in the UNK my kindle arrived today have been waiting for it all my life kindle rates an UNK number of stars this is the coolest thing have ever owned love it and every single feature don UNK rate it for fear of being UNK of UNK it will change the way read from now on 1 UNK has arrived just got my k3 and have to say that am just in love with the little device have named it UNK in memory of my UNK grade english teacher decided to go with the wifi only version and while have read that some users have had issues have not experienced any setup is an absolute breeze had signed up for newspaper but just did not find myself reading it or getting to involved with the stories do like having reader digest that will be subscription will be keeping the UNK portion of the pub is great have not yet tried the other features will update at later time about this features the short stories in the kindle store are great for quick reading specially if you have busy life and you cannot beat the prices on the books enjoy yours 1 if only it had light love my kindle do not have the new one have the last version the absolute only negative thing can say about the kindle is the fact that there is no option for backlight if wanted to attach light to it would have done that with my books my husband has the ipad he can lay in bed with no lights on and still read his ipad have to have lamp and position myself where the light hits well due to my eyesight light please kindle give us light 1 just got it and am glad waited for this size kindle took my daughter to the UNK and while she played in the play area read it was small enough to fit in my UNK front pocket awesome seriously how many words do you need up on the screen at time anyway the wifi was easy to setup and it sync very fast downloaded like 100 classic books from amazon on the first day and it can read them to me using the voice feature very fun for my year old to listen to book and try to follow the words the 3g feature is an extra feature have not found use for yet according to the UNK if the wireless is activated and no wifi is found it will switch to 3g or UNK it is all free in most cases but there is some features with personal document UNK via 3g that are not free need to UNK that by entering zero for UNK amount to charge over 3g this option is UNK he manage my kindle on amazon fond it changed it and forgot where saw it otherwise it can read all my pdfs that transfered over the usb cable speaking of which the total amount of internal space is UNK according to what my drive UNK on the computer told me just transferred over some music and personal pdfs for fun going to give this battery full test to see how it lasts 1 unit arrived pre UNK works great no freeze ups figured there were enough reviews out there regarding how it works etc just wanted to let people concerned with the star reviews based on UNK units we waited to get UNK after out of stock received on sept 16th unit arrived pre registered as it should have found our home wi fi with no issues signal as strong as the laptops in the house connected to amazon in no time myself prefer shopping with the laptop and pushing my purchases to the kindle rather than shopping on the kindle itself full book downloads took less than 30 UNK from selecting buy on the web no issues what so ever with the unit after 12 14 hours operation also purchased the leather cover brown with built in light fit and finish is more than acceptable with plenty of light for night reading 1 pretty cool but it does crash ve been huge fan of the kindle for long time but this is the first time ve owned one loaded couple of free books which is easy enough though the urge to touch the screen please please just let me touch it is UNK understand the compromise between crisp ink display and touch screen but still found using the buttons just tad clumsy did manage to make the kindle crash several times without even trying maybe was going too fast or am too used to the iphone easy slide play the kindle reboots quickly and UNK back but didn think that simply adding note or moving book into new category would cause it to crash no other complaints love the way it fits into my hand really just the perfect paperback size and the display is closer to real paper than thought it would be finally love the idea of free books and would love to see free blogs too 1 UNK yeah guess dear people from non english speaking country willing to purchase kindle if you want one for the following reasons it makes you feel like mary UNK UNK with books gone are the days when you have to wait half week to get your english books from amazon sell UNK to buy them in your country sell the other one to bring some home from trip and have UNK beat them up and UNK them with the candy you had carefully packed away seriously that just plain UNK and know all about UNK french UNK of flight in train who cares stuck in UNK place for week with only one book and no UNK in sight never again getting UNK about your slow pace during UNK trip because your backpack is filled with books and weighs half ton not anymore reading in the UNK yes you can with UNK plastic cover only reading in UNK sunlight suck it ipad free books yes please but if you want to read something in your own language read blogs really surf the web read at night without lamp have decent packaging UNK really and actually pay UNK yeah there this little thing called customs well think twice 1 the best ebook ever with affordable price since my kindle has arrived very UNK to make this choice this ebook has all ever dream UNK this kind of gadget perfect clear readability long time UNK speed in page transitions and lot of space to load my books extras text to speech dictionary and internet connection via wifi and for last but not for least it price is very affordable recomend it very much 1 great device put does it have some software bugs received my new kindle3 3g am first time kindle owner opened it up and was delighted with the simplicity and ease of use it does exactly what want we can leave the fancy stuff to the ipad no setup required very intuitive and really idiot proof downloaded my first book within minutes and could not wait to get started reading the reading experience is great the display contrast is fantastic and it is just like reading paper book am really happy with it and hope that will learn to love reading this way although admit do worry that will miss my books it felt bit like when bought my first cd player that was long time ago and was worried would miss the old UNK with the album covers etc am still wondering will miss my old books what will have on my living room book shelves in 10 years time but on the positive side travel lot and the convenience of carrying this little device should far outweigh the UNK attachment to paper so far it been great have one of the amazon kindle covers with the built in pop out light which is also fantastic great red leather finish comfortable to hold no batteries to mess around with and UNK way to read in bed without disturbing the other half so all set to get on with the latest book but this morning my new gadget locked up on me was adjusting the text size in the menu and it froze nothing could UNK it to get started again pushed the power slide and held it for few seconds the screen UNK but it still wouldn restart called the amazon UNK and the guy there talked me through full reset push and hold the power slide for 20 seconds the device went through full re boot and everything is now back to normal UNK that relief just hope this was one off and my new reading experience is not going to be UNK with UNK software otherwise may be back to the old bookstore and filling up the living room shelves again 1 great upgrade to the device with only few UNK why not stars the page turn buttons can be little frustrating without case too easy to accidentally turn the page the k2 had solved this problem but to make this version smaller amazon had to re direct the buttons too bad but understand the pressure to make it smaller they were under with case the amazon UNK case this is no longer big problem everything else is excellent don use it as an audio book use my UNK for that experimental section is bit slow but that to be expected all in all solid entry and an excellent price much lighter than the ipad which also own and reading on the ipad kindle app is not lot of fun just UNK iphone app which should have been given lot more features and aesthetics should have been paid attention to this is so not the case here amazon blew the kindle app on the ipad big time in the end this is much better reading device as reader it blows the ipad away but the ipad does many other things UNK as pdf reader this device sucks use the ipad with the app UNK best possible experience bought this device to UNK my amazon account before this had the k2 also very good and it was UNK choice the software needs work and there should be touch the lack of touch understand because of the need to keep cost down but amazon needs to UNK more cash into software if you just want reader then this is the way to go best UNK all other ereaders and much better than the kindle app on the ipad thanks again amazon 1 love it love it love it bought the kindle as birthday gift for the hubby not sure if he would be as UNK as me since he is computer UNK but the ease of operation is incredible now can get him off the thing love the feature that we can enlarge the font size no more large print books from the library we also love the fact that when you UNK book after your turn off the device it takes you to the exact page where you left off virtual bookmark this is the perfect device to take on vacation no more lugging or books in our UNK and UNK wish had UNK it 0 update love it after hard rebooting once update reboot appears to have solved or helped the lag problem UNK are it will require UNK reboots buggy software but ve lived with windows for UNK so reboot doesn UNK me to reboot kindle hold the power slider to the right for at least 15 seconds the kindle will flash few times and eventually you will see startup screen with slow progress bar that the booting progress bar so you know you ve successfully UNK reboot now just wait short bit for it to finish and get to the home screen update it been quite while with only the one above mentioned reboot and all is well have no idea what caused the initial bad UNK but it been great ever since fantastic device for reading books my kindle wifi could be great were it not for some serious random but more frequently UNK problems problem turning pages sometimes takes 20 seconds sometimes it near instant sometimes it takes seconds and sometimes it hangs for very long time ve UNK over 20 seconds more than once problem adding bookmarks sometimes takes literally forever as in the kindle either freezes or takes more than UNK the time after which give up and hard boot it of course sometimes bookmarking is fast as it should be as with the page turn problem it seems to be getting worse problem my clock is wrong and there doesn appear to be way to set it my guess is the built in memory flash is not up to UNK maybe it manufacturing problem or maybe UNK gave the UNK some sub par UNK all know is if it doesn UNK improve or amazon release firmware update that fixes it soon ll sadly have to return it and based on reading other reviews fear that replacement units would have the same problems sad shame 1 kindle just started using my new kindle and love it its features make reading fun can adjust my fonts landscape or portrait reading and the wi fi is really an added plus recommend kindle to anyone who likes to read and if you don like reading this may change your mind try it it incredible 1 kindle 3g love the new kindle have been an early adopter for all three models of the kindle and find that this one addresses all of my previous concerns it is light weight graphite in color found the white distracting and has much improved contrast am pleased with the page turning switches and find the menu intuitive to use the lack of backlighting is plus can read for hours without eyestrain and can take the kindle outside without glare issues have an ipad also but very rarely use it for book reading the kindle is much superior reader travel lot and love having variety of books loaded without the weight and bulk of the actual book terrific product 1 3rd generation kindle purchased the leather cover with the light for my 3rd generation and together am very please with my purchase fold the leather cover back use the strap to hold it in place and my kindle is about the size of an UNK paper back the light is bright enough to be able to read without lights on features really like text to speech although it is mechanical voice really enjoy having the book read to me while read you can adjust the speed of the reader as well as choose either male or female voice not all books have this feature screen rotation is optional my iphone goes from landscape to UNK if tip it and find this really distracting kindle gives you the option of how you want your book to read this allows you to lay down hold your kindle at an angle and not have to be dealing with the text changing to landscape mp3 player listen to music if you want while reading good contrast between print and background you can read in no light using the lighted UNK or at the beach in bright sunlight battery saving features if don use it for awhile the kindle goes to sleep also turning off the light when you wake up the unit it saves your place adjustable text size the menu allows you to pick from several different font sizes it is cheaper if you do not require the 3g feature with all the wi fi locations available and the only time data is being UNK is when you are UNK or downloading reading material choose to UNK the 3g feature kindle you got it right and as long as you are asking your customers for feedback please keep on developing all the experimental features such as the text to speech and mp3 features also please allow us to have some voices which are less mechanical UNK and better with pronunciation 1 love my kindle well this was definitely worth the wait just finishing my last paperback so ve only downloaded preview but with wi fi had it in seconds this product is great so easy to use love it 1 kindle received my kindle cover with light days ago immediately downloaded bible translation to it and UNK novel UNK my kindle on the way out the door for church the next day used it when it was time for bible reading it was great now am reading the novel this is the greatest thing so convenient the lighted cover mine is hot pink also makes it great for reading at night when everyone else is in bed and don want the light to wake them up am so happy that ordered kindle and would suggest it to anyone looking for an reader very easy to use downloading books is also so easy to do have broken leg cannot get out to shop and this is just so convenient to do from my UNK and is keeping me in reading materials while UNK 1 perfect for frequent travelers spend most of my time outside of the usa and have had hard time finding english language books that like in other countries because of this have not been reading so much in recent years ve had the new kindle for about month now and ve already UNK reading list for at least year ve read for several hours at stretch and it doesn hurt my eyes at all the battery lasts long time and it quite user friendly extremely happy with this product 1 new kindle just got my new kindle got the wi fi only and am happy with that where live now hardly any 3g service anyway it connects faster now through the regular wi fi system at home before going on trips will just load up bunch of books so have something to choose from just in case the hotels do not have connection when travel to remote areas like the kindle lot more than the previous kindle which did return the graphite colour does make it look better the size being smaller compared to the kindle makes difference the new cover on the back makes it nicer to hold again compared to the kindle am still looking forward to see the keyboard go away and there are still room for design improvements doubt it will ever win any design UNK it is lot easier to read indoors because of the brighter screen and better contrast got all of my old books from the previous kindle very easy and fast page turning is lot more quiet than before and it does feel like big improvement compared to the kindle am very happy did return the old one within the 30 days 0 not able to connect to wi fi on campus was very happy with kindle until found out that the kindle does not connect to my school network because it is an enterprise wi fi network do not regret buying wi fi only because don want to get charged for sending personal documents but lack of this wifi connectivity to campus networks UNK decrease the usefulness of the device if amazon want students cash selling this UNK they should provide full support in this matter for me it UNK from star product to star 1 kindle wireless reading device wi fi latest generation really love the new kindle can take as many books with me as want we travel in an UNK part time and previously had to take shopping bag full of books now only the kindle don really need the 3g because have router in my home and most of the places that we go they have wi fi the only problem have is that after read through the users guide it went away and can no longer access the guide had to call customer service one time and am very satisfied with the way customer service operates bill 1 the kindle three UNK of UNK UNK and UNK is what felt when heard that the kindle would be arriving UNK on my italian doorstep had been following the kindle reviewers stories and UNK UNK my head trying to work out what would be getting the ups courier who looked more like school UNK handed me the amazon package did double take and in his UNK italian said but are you italian no escape is all wanted to the UNK of my house with my kindle it just that saw amazon and you don look italian UNK and UNK UNK do you know that ve got daughter in america all could manage was UNK and UNK safe in my house UNK the box open and there she was my UNK plugged her in and she woke up asked her to search for wireless connections she found my router UNK in the access key and she connected to my UNK UNK UNK UNK with no UNK whatsoever UNK found that holding down the alt key and UNK the top row keys will bring up numbers so alt alt etc the instructions told me that could read and surf while the kindle was plugged into the usb port but that had to eject it first right clicked on the UNK icon and selected eject the kindle froze not to be UNK UNK and found on windows go to the start UNK bottom left computer right click the kindle and select eject worked like charm connected the kindle to calibre google it and UNK some books and pdf for contrast resolution and readability the kindle ink is superb on this and the price alone would give it stars navigating around the kindle using the menu and home options is intuitive and the UNK on off switch is welcome new addition would however have liked some keyboard shortcuts to make navigation easier the screensavers are pleasant but some user UNK is necessary here there is only so long that can bear looking at jane UNK in her UNK and UNK UNK length of UNK or UNK UNK looking as if she is just about to pop her UNK tad UNK the webkit browser is slow but using google reader with your UNK feeds works well UNK web bookmarks would be handy haven found any UNK yet amazon are you listening managed to use calibre and set up server so can download books onto the kindle from my laptop wirelessly instead of using the usb port or mailing myself at my kindle mail address and waiting for the transfer it did UNK up couple of times but the second time didn UNK it was automatically downloading the updated software since then no freezes and with noticeable decrease in web page load times for those of you who are waiting do not be UNK amazon will get on top of the software and any glitches will be sorted out patience is required after all you can rush good read 1 my husband is having an UNK my husband and both love it UNK my husband by saying he UNK on me with kindle he never puts it down he loves it and do we are big readers and this makes our lives lot easier recommend it to UNK if you like to read magazines or news papers wouldn recommended this for you get the ipad pictures don come as nice but words come out amazing its like reading on paper love it and my husband is having an UNK with it so we are good 1 if you never thought you would read on an reader the newest kindle will make you believer as UNK hard UNK reader was sure that would never even be tempted to try any reader but such great price and wide variety of books now available had to try my very 1st reader it arrived quickly even though had ordered on aug was UNK at how sleek light it is can hold it one hand easily and even turn pages one hand charged it for UNK hours then hooked up via my home wi fi network all needed to do was type in my wi fi network password had many archived books on my kindle for pc so transferred many of them not all to the kindle not all at once but over the space of half hour all these steps are done on the kindle it was not needed to use my laptop pc wi fi is fantastic now as for the actual reading what joy to enlarge the type size don have to wear my readers anymore to read can UNK enough how much of difference that makes the screen is non glare the text is crisp the pages turn seamlessly even carry this me on long UNK and am able to read as walk it is so light that my arm hands don get tired and can turn the pages my thumb find that am reading more now the kindle than was hard soft backs probably UNK can read laying in bed on my back it raised above and also UNK can easily bring it me anywhere and read few pages waiting in line or at an appointment etc you must give this try even if you have never thought you read on machine also there are hundreds and hundreds of free books available here and thousands of others for as little as UNK 99 00 99 etc hope this review has helped 1 love the new kindle am two time kindle owner own the older generation dx large kindle and just purchased the wifi only version of the new small kindle wow they made some nice improvements in screen resolution and reduced the outside dimensions without reducing the screen size highly recommend this product it best in class for sure compared to other readers will have to say surprisingly that prefer the smaller version over the larger dx version as far as size goes find the regular kindle to be easier to manage on planes etc and it also much lighter am totally pleased with this purchase and highly recommend this product 0 it won even power up less than star waited month for this kindle wi fi latest generation it won even power up several UNK with amazon UNK via phone and mail to no avail they just keep coming up with new failed maybe this will work solutions continue charging for another hours hold power key 15 seconds hold home key for 30 seconds don think amazon is doing enough to resolve customer concerns if it broken replace it immediately without dragging the customer through your fixes and UNK the customer like an UNK 0 step backwards first there is no UNK slot in the new kindle for memory card so one is limited to the UNK that come with the kindle but with audible book files and music files UNK is far too small on my first generation kindle had UNK memory card and could remove it and add others at will the lack of such an option of the new kindle is serious serious drawback second the pdf facility which is great addition especially because can now read foreign language UNK like greek and chinese is poorly adapted for magnification if UNK page for ease of reading say in pdf file of google UNK book it is not easy to center the material on the screen so that all the writing is visible but then as soon as one turns page the UNK is UNK lost and cannot be UNK without going back to the beginning and accessing the magnifying facility all over again one has to do this for every page one after another very very frustrating third my first generation kindle has whispernet access which is always accessible so that can download books for instance while traveling on the bus or train but the new generation kindle requires access to wifi hotspot to work so most of the time cannot access the web or the kindle store very very frustrating fourth my first generation kindle plays audible books from in all formats but the new generation kindle only plays format so books bought from audible com that are only available in format or cannot be played on the new kindle very very frustrating fifth on the plus side do like the text to speech facility which is surprisingly good but the other changes made to kindle just mentioned are very disappointing and UNK step backwards they make the new generation kindle not at all the great deal that all the hype would lead one to believe my overall UNK would be that whoever designed the new kindle should be given half UNK UNK low UNK and then quickly UNK get someone else in charge who won ruin the good with so much bad at the same time 1 pretty simple if you got this for reading it is amazing even my wife who loves the physical book said it looks just like print have been able to play with all the bells and whistles but just based on the reading capability alone it is the best and well worth it 1 awesome friend told me about the kindle didn think too much about it but when saw hers and all the books she could get on it wanted it love it it is so light weight and slim even with the cover ordered it fits nice in my purse it is so very readable and the font can be changed thought it would take while to download books onto it but by time paid them it was on just that fast easy to use but pays to read the directions first it took just under hours to charge it fully when it first arrived my friend also told me to turn off the wi fi to save on the battery so did that then just turn it on to download books this is awesome and am sooo glad got it 1 very good works way better than expected for pdf books especially if you flip to landscape internet works pretty well for UNK sites like the wall street journal not good for facebook or online forums exceeded my expectations 1 UNK buyer UNK on his choice researched the purchase of kindle for long time couldn decide whether or not it was worth buying dedicated reader boy am glad made this purchase the downside to amazon online selling of kindle is that the customers don get to see it in person it is much better in person this may sound stupid but when got my new kindle thought there was stuck on UNK on the screen containing UNK of the unit buttons etc actually tried to peel it off UNK the ink on this unit is that good didn realize that was staring at the actual display also didn realize that no power is required until the display changes thus the great battery life do lot of reading but was UNK the UNK of reading less or buying large type books because of my UNK and UNK eyesight the new kindle has been godsend now can decide the size of type need depending on my level of fatigue among other things the weight and ergonomics are very good for someone like me with UNK in his hands it is extremely easy to manage and enjoyable to own to me it is easier to read than print books the ease of navigation is great as is the speed the battery life so far has been extraordinary it easily connected to our home wi fi which by design does not UNK an ssid it downloads books so fast that almost thought they were not completely received did not buy the 3g version because of the price difference and the fact that there is no coverage where live if you are not constantly traveling don see the need to spend the extra bucks but that is matter of personal choice for those who have no wi fi at home remember that you can always download the material to your computer and transfer it via usb just today was watching an UNK with UNK UNK on tv he was talking about his new book which sounded interesting picked up the kindle and downloaded free sample before the UNK was over have only read the UNK so far but will probably buy the book now that is great way to buy book haven used online browsing extensively yet but find it reasonable for what the device is this is primarily book reader not laptop or notebook they are great for what they do but can match the ink display or the light weight for those of you worrying about the wait for the new kindle let me end with it is worth the wait this new kindle is all about the quality of experience there are many format choices for electronic reading if you want the best experience go with the kindle 1 the new kindle is awsome was anxious to receive my kindle and received it on time as promised unfortunately it had loose piece inside like screw so it made rattling sound whenever picked it up contacted amazon customer service by email about the problem they UNK within 12 hours with return label and shipped out another one with days delivery must say amazon customer service is excellent at least that have been my experience so far so received my new kindle setup was easy let me tell you the things that like the design overall is pretty cool and intuitive the new keyboard is good and ease to navigate the back of the kindle is UNK and feels good at touch the screen is really awesome very sharp it is like reading paper book thought that browsing through the pages would give that black long UNK but was surprised how fast it goes to another page you almost don feel loved the design of the power usb cable it is usb cable that connects on one end to the kindle and the other end to the computer or you can connect the usb to the power plug and the power plug to the electrical outlet charged using the electrical outlet it took like minutes to recharge the kindle it was easy to associate the kindle with my wireless access point bought book and it was sent to my kindle in 30 UNK the kindle feels very sturdy yet it is light to hold the screen savers are cool too have tested other readers and definitely would recommend the kindle 1 good device but need some upgrades good and interesting device no problem with any book format download some 00 books from amazon com just kindle need some interface upgrade collection within collections collection history inside UNK books 1 kindle latest generation love my new kindle being an avid reader who loves the feel and smell of books never thought would like an electronic book am so impressed with the capabilities of this book have already downloaded 30 books most being classics that are offered for free this device is easy to use mostly self UNK but does have very nice kindle manual included the library build in this tiny book shelf will be incredible and will never be without book it has new feature that is still in the experimental stage that think is great idea the book reads to you in either man voice or woman you can even slow down or speed up the UNK it sounds bit electronic like UNK radio there is room for improvement but it is wonderful downloading books magazines and newspapers is breeze what wonderful UNK world we live in kudos to kindle 0 case but no kindle ordered kindle and case to go with it my order was taken then am told that the kindle is out of stock so they shipped the case only with no date when they were getting the kindles in cant UNK my order but do have kindle case with nothing to put in it thanks UNK 1 overall good ereader usability issues upgraded from white k2 to charcoal k3 when the new version was released overall am happy but there are some things still prefer about the k2 pros screen does look clearer smaller size and lower weight are noticeable like having page forward and back buttons on both sides 3g seems lot quicker cons it took while to get used the smaller size in terms of holding comfortably the key UNK on the charcoal version are very hard to read and the keys are small and close together the home menu UNK button on the bottom is too crowded it very easy to hit the wrong one when checking for spelling or searching 1 is it the book UNK no but it great way to read very fond of this device after few days worth of use had to wait couple weeks for it to arrive but it came to my doorstep about days ahead of schedule which was pleasant surprise onto the device itself there isn too much to say aside from what already been mentioned it fairly small which is an excellent perk and the ergonomics are pretty UNK after getting feel for the controls at first was turned off by the button placement my right thumb would always be UNK on the back button when holding with one hand but after while find myself naturally holding the device with hands which would in turn shift my right hand lower and my left hand higher so UNK left thumb on left back and right thumb on right forward very convenient when holding with hands and an incredibly minor gripe with just one the keyboard is okay just okay the buttons are responsive but you re not gonna be doing any speed typing with it there aren any number keys but there are two ways around this first you can hit the sym button to access menu with numbers along with other symbols but the easiest method is to just hold alt and press qwerty for UNK etc there also small enter key UNK by 90 degree UNK arrow which mistakenly took for UNK key this UNK my mind because the square button in between the directional pad functions almost exactly the same as the enter key and the del key acts as UNK now where come from UNK UNK the letters behind the cursor and del UNK the letters in front of the cursor not with the kindle keyboard del functions as traditional UNK would guess it UNK but would ve really preferred the enter button to be UNK button and the delete key to function as delete key should the screen isn mind blowing but it certainly stands on its own two feet crisp bold and most importantly readable the UNK detail looks great with pictures though don care for the non customizable screensavers that appear on the display when it sleeping off amazon would do good to allow its customers to personalize their devices refresh rate if were to guess is roughly half second imagine it takes me longer to turn the page of an actual book the screen goes black for short period when turning pages however wouldn consider this distraction due to the UNK also pleased with the font customization though there are only fonts to choose from they present themselves well on the ink display and can be UNK accordingly personally fan of the sans serif font set to the smallest size with medium line spacing the fact that the smallest fonts appear so UNK on the display UNK higher than can express hate to say it but you have to see it to believe it text to speech isn worth the effort in my opinion the voices are UNK robotic UNK and boring they either read too fast or too slow suppose could see myself listening to couple pages with it as change rooms or something but doubt it not going to dive into every little detail of the newest kindle so ll wrap it up with more things the store and the browser the kindle store works as you expect from the home screen just press the menu button and the store is the first object highlighted browse books make your selection and it downloads to your device another great perk is loading books to your kindle from amazon com before my kindle even arrived had already loaded 10 free books onto my account they showed up in my library immediately after UNK on my device for the first time via 3g amazon is kind enough to link the device to your account before it ships the browser is much better than expected albeit UNK it functional in primitive sort of way you navigate cursor with the directional pad and it conveniently places itself over UNK text based blogs google searches and wikipedia all look great on it considering even the occasional news site like UNK or wsj will render well the screen only UNK refreshes as you scroll through pages so the occasional ink UNK gets left behind kind of like UNK UNK only notice this when browsing the internet never while reading an book javascript UNK pages such as google maps transit take their time loading and mean long time whether you re on 3g or wifi would suppose this is because they re more processor UNK though admit haven UNK with any mobile versions of either site yet all in all can see myself enjoying the browser UNK if stuck in waiting room or for quick wikipedia fix if you re not reading an book amazon 3rd generation kindle has UNK UNK that falls little flat in comparison to more full UNK devices however it UNK and presents books UNK which is its primary function to begin with in terms of dedicated readers it in UNK of its own which makes those UNK side features icing on the cake assuming my kindle doesn UNK on itself sure ll be incredibly UNK with my purchase for years to come as it has already UNK my UNK for reading literature 1 kindle would like to say just got this kindle and think that it is great item and have used it lot it is smooth to use and very nice looking and has great feel to it the items you can buy for this item to be downloaded are great ok enough of me UNK it the UNK thing that find that this kindle could make it the great reader is if it had an sd UNK slot so that you could put more music and audio books on it other than that highly recommend the kindle 0 product UNK by seller have UNK UNK to my friends about how wonderful my kindle is and what incredible customer service get from amazon finally they have jumped on the bandwagon and bought into the kindle as soon as the price dropped she waited weeks for it to get here and she can use it simply put there is nothing on this website that states you have to purchase wi fi network to operate this kindle very sad very disappointing my friend is UNK year old woman who does not spend all her time learning new techno crap even those of us who do keep up could not find any mention of this she wanted what described to her an easy to use reader that would let her purchase and download books instantly she received 139 ebook that she can not use unless she purchases wi fi because again no UNK on the website we live in the middle of no where we do not have wi fi on every corner tried to get it to work all could tell her is it is not connecting after speaking with customer service whose UNK lack of interest was disappointing she is returning the device and trying to make up her mind on whether or not she will be disappointed again if she buys the 3g version all can say is am disappointed expected my friends to enjoy the same experience have had had she known that the device would not be usable in our area without wi fi subscription she would have purchased the fully equipped version 1 love it received my kindle yesterday and love it it took me awhile before deciding to get one and am so happy did it is very user friendly and am telling anyone who will listen how great it is recommend this to everyone and everybody 0 great reading very difficult to download books if you can manage to figure out how to download book it great to read on the kindle got thru UNK of my first book and got an error message that would have to delete the book and re download it spent an hour with the useless documentation they provide on the kindle trying to figure this out trying to search the documentation is an exercise in UNK they still have long way to go before this is the tool you want for reading 1 about my kindle well ve had my kindle for few weeks now and gave it five stars not because it is perfect but because it is far more then expected and what it has done for me am senior and my fluid UNK in both my eyes is UNK every day my reading is becoming more difficult and have resolved to reading with my face UNK to computer screen you can forget about regular print the kindle allows me to read technical material with ease take notes make notes and much much more even though the browser is there it is not fully developed but for research is sufficient the voice reader while not perfect is close only have one wish would like to be able to see charts and diagrams often the print is too small for my eyes and would very much like to be able to enlarge the image 0 mostly useless when it works it fine but that not so often ve had it for couple of days now and ve found it UNK to connect to any network when it does it slow would not recommend it right now 1 so far its great better than expected like to keep reviews short and sweet this is my first ereader and am in awe of how clear and crisp the screen is have bad eyes and find this much easier to read than books the fact that you can change to larger font is UNK nice feature was little afraid when heard people complain about how small the key board is but have to say if you text with cell phone you will have no problem typing with this have medium sized hands and have no problem holding it like would phone and typing on it with two hands got the 3g model and think the browser is better than expected as well its good browser for when you are in pinch was at work and ordered UNK from online with it nice for checking UNK scores or to look UNK up on google if you already have 3g and browser on your phone would get just the wifi model but if you are like me and dont want to pay monthly for 3g service this model is cool UNK line is this device is for reading and if you like to read you will love it 1 an ebook reader unfortunately it doesn do blogs this device seems to get lots of hype in the media and among its users people write about this device and the ebook revolution because they find it interesting also find it interesting that being said don think there is anything particularly interesting about this device itself the kindle is quite simply an ebook reader only buy this device for the purpose of reading ebooks the words are very similar to text on real paper people are amazed by the clarity because it literally looks like page out of book that changes words the kindle is an excellent device for reading ebooks why would you prefer an ebook over paper book there are several reasons listed below ebooks are cheaper especially out of copyright books which are free ebooks are easier to handle because you don have to hold anything open or mark your spot ebooks are portable ebooks are UNK making passages easier to find that about UNK it up if you think you would like to start reading ebooks the kindle is an excellent choice to carry those ebooks on while the kindle is capable of doing much more than display ebooks it doesn do anything else well the browser is under experimental for reason it horrible and takes forever to navigate through sites including blogs even when you do reach blog it not good device for reading blog on exception article mode is good once you re on it however the problem is it takes several steps just use article mode and then several more steps to change articles trust me it very cumbersome and you can use it on the homepage of blog this device has potential to be an amazing blog reading machine if amazon were to release google reader type application that UNK rss feeds from the internet admit haven used the mp3 feature nor do intend to it pointless feature even for audio books why would you want to listen to an audio book on device this big there is game you can download called shuffled row this game is pretty good actually it will be nice if amazon releases other text based games such as UNK in general though any uses other than reading ebooks aren worth considering when you think about buying the kindle even though wish this device worked for blogs which someday it might still giving it stars because it does great at what amazon made it for to read ebooks 1 my first kindle after reading many reviews decided to get the kindle the first decision factor of kindle was the price if this device falls under 100 would buy more my concerns before bought it can read pdf well is it comfortable to hold was it easy on my eyes is it easy to use is it new is it durable my feedback on concerns have many pdf files so this was my biggest concern based on others review pdf view falls little short you can forget about the zoom ability zoom in and out works but it works in UNK mode some pdf files do not work when you run into this you have to send the pdf file to UNK kindle com to convert tried to hold the kindle like the ad well felt little weird eventually found position that worked for me my eyes get tired easily from looking at lcd monitor the eink was excellent it was very similar to reading paper have to say it is sort of easy for me didn read the manual kindle manual based on the menu was able to figure all the features that needed about weeks ago ve been tracking the people feedback and the rates were starts UNK starts UNK starts UNK starts UNK starts UNK there was numerous UNK or defect kindle and many have them returned the item wonder why they do with returned item would assume they fix and sell it again as new when got mine tried to make fail it did rebooted time when was reading pdf it feels little weak but it may be due to its form factor 1 changes the way read admit when kindle was introduced was hesitant to give up my old school paper pages and hard covers am the kind of person who loved UNK open new book and loved everything about it the smell of the new paper the heft of the book in my hands the whole UNK but when bought my first kindle to take with me on cruise was sold the new generation kindle with he browser ability is the best thing since sliced bread now have everything am reading with me all the time and the new integrated booklight cover makes sure can grab few pages no matter where am just love this thing ve purchased two for me two more for gifts and can imagine not having it 1 new kindle just broke good service UNK by amazon my new kindle just broke part of the screen now does not turn on show books no obvious damage to the kindle it was stored in the back pocket of my luggage where no direct pressure occurred on it but it was not in case arriving this weekend they were very responsive and offered to ship new replacement out the UNK day on overnight service they required that return the broken one within 30 days and included shipping label at their cost will use new unit with the new cover ve purchased and hope for the best with the replacement love it otherwise ease and speed of download and quickness of screen refresh and then the lightness of UNK and brightness of screen been using for about month 0 no wifi or 3g my kindle wifi didn work at my house don know why am using my wifi right now no problem right have this great thing called 3g that is UNK to give me connectivity where live checked am in 3g network so should be able to connect still could not connect and there are no clear instructions on what to do for trouble UNK the only thing the kindle suggested was to UNK menu and settings and restart guess what there is no restart option under settings the kindle is joke how can you sell product with zero product support no website support and no UNK directions 1 kindle 3g this product has exceeded my expectations so far the packaging was reasonable and easy to open purchasing books from the kindle with the 3g wireless is easy it is worth the 50 more get the 3g model books are easy to read and usually well formatted for the kindle just be sure to read up on the book before you purchase it not all are well formatted for the kindle my wife thought the lack of touch screen would be frustration have not noticed it at all we both have enjoyed reading on the kindle the screen is easy to see in bright light as well as sunlight purchased the leather case with the side led light so can read in the dark turning pages is fast and rarely notice any lag turning page there are only two complaints have with the kindle the 3g will quit at random and not work but have 3g coverage on my phone not sure what this is all about but am not paying for it and you get what you pay for pdfs in general are very UNK to read on the kindle the best way has been to rotate the screen and read them sideways overall the kindle is good investment it has become the UNK of my checking account though there are so many good books to read if you buy kindle get the 3g version at least and be sure to get the leather case with the led lights in it so you can read in no light or low light situations 1 easy to read book ve been looking around for an reader for while now until found kindle 3rd gen its screen is as easy to read on as paper books actually thought that it had paper cover initially until realized it was the screen also read lot of old books and found most of them for free from amazon and free libraries online so figure ve saved lot of money so far the connections work great pleasantly surprised about the browser the pdf reader and the 3g speed its really wonderful to take all my work UNK and UNK with me on this little machine in pdf format can wait until my child school start to carry it 1 it beautiful thing just got my 2nd kindle today two days after they sent it that pretty good hope this one the graphite is going to be as good as my first one 2nd generation never had one minute of trouble with that one got second one because my husband and are always fighting over whose turn it is to read next we both love it and with the ability to share books between the two of them it going to be great would go back to buying paper book only if it not available on the kindle 1 only one flaw got my kindle delivered to UNK in two days and have used it for some days now got the wifi only version and my android smartphone serves as wifi hotspot when not at home this works great think it great ebook reader with crisp text good usability great UNK with kindle applications on other UNK and great integration with amazon bookstore really pleased with the feature that allows for easy conversion from pdf word and other formats to kindle format via mail it was easy to copy free books from project gutenberg in mobi format to the kindle via the usb cable impressed with the kindle ability to read the text out loud UNK with the lighted cover the kindle is both very practical and very UNK less impressed with the experimental browser and it ability to show complex web pages and illustrations will not use the browser unless in UNK UNK prefer tablet pc or an ipad for reading newspapers and magazines this is dedicated ebook reader and very good at that the flaw is the lack of support for the epub format epub is used by lot of other book stores and by libraries how many ebook readers should one have to purchase ll add the last star when my kindle supports epub 1 as great as knew it would be have always wanted kindle since the first moment heard about them but am total UNK and it wasn until my daughter and her husband bought one for me last week that actually got to see one have been new york times reader for years but it became so expensive that no could buy it thought that the kindle would make it far more affordable but just couldn pull the string to get kindle now get it delivered very early in the day and read more of each issue than ever did it is just perfect the UNK gift have ever received what heard about how easy they are on the eyes is totally true and being older that makes big difference could go on and on about how much love it it is just perfect 1 like it but other technology is behind we really like this kindle and appreciate that some of the books are at no cost but we checked with our local library who told us there was not problem downloading books onto kindle from their site and discovered that it is not compatible with the kindle so if you don mind being linked at this point to only the amazon site its fantastic if you had hoped to download digital copies of books from local resources then it might be while before they catch up assuming amazon will solve the compatibility option 1 kindle wireless reading device wi fi this is fantastic my daughter loves it she takes her books anywhere it not bulky or heavy 1 3g international web browsing be aware ordered and received kindle in UNK it works like charm but be aware that web browsing doesn work with 3g except for wikipedia in UNK and have been told that this is the case for most countries 1 really great ereader but wireless is lacking at one point while like most other reviewers love the new kindle however sad to see the limitation placed on wireless connection it was my understanding that once connected to home network would be able to transfer personal materials directly over the wireless without having to send each document to my kindle email was really looking forward to not having to UNK out the usb cable whenever need to transfer ten or more files to my kindle being able to open the kindle up like another drive connected to my home network would have been really great however the kindle is not UNK on my network it uses the internet connection which works well and is fast but can open the kindle up from my computer to transfer files this would be really useful feature to consider for future firmware models just hate plugging things in when wireless is possibility thanks for the new kindle though otherwise it amazing 1 love it so far this kindle has exceeded expectations was worried in receiving it due to some bad product reviews mentioning automatic reboots freezing etc but ve had my kindle for month now and it UNK the ink images are incredible it reads like real book wish it had back light so could read in the dark but guess just need to purchase book light to attach to my kindle cover it takes less than an UNK to charge and havent needed to charge it yet since the day received it ve used the 3g feature to access the kindle store and download books in seconds am super impressed highly recommended 1 amazing got my new kindle last week and it is simply amazing it does what an reader is supposed to do very easy to hold in either hands there was no set process involved could pretty much start reading right out of the box the text to speech could be better but there is only so much you can do over all am very pleased and highly recommend it if you are reader 1 just keeps getting better product customer service this is my first kindle and now have second the product lives up to its UNK and more amazon customer service has been outstanding with any situation that has UNK up and that is one of the reasons will continue to support amazon in the future only miss the numbers on keypad and the lack of reading epub formats thanks again amazon for making great product being an international buyer also wish they would UNK their policy on some UNK and products that are available to only those customers with us address update now own kindle both 3g and could not be more happy and impressed with the product and service have received being new amazon customer did not expect such positive experience keep up the amazing work 1 instant gratification thoughts and first impressions chose not to get the 3g as rarely travel this kindle will be used at home and if do travel can load any books want before leave used the money saved to buy the lighted case for my kindle bought this kindle to read books am not interested in all its other features and while am sure they are great other reviews have already covered them in great detail love it it worked perfectly right out of the box turned it on plugged it in to usb port on my laptop and it came on immediately it found and connected to my home network in seconds it was already registered to my amazon account talk about instant gratification downloaded few books some free some paid and they arrived in seconds amazon says in under minute say in under 10 seconds no more day wait for books to come through the mail there they are immediately ready to read after downloaded the books UNK my kindle from my computer so it would charge it charged fully in few hours and then unplugged it from the usb port had turned wireless off after downloading the books to improve the battery life today turned the wireless back on and it connected immediately no problem no hassle the only reasons can see to get the 3g version is if one travels lot and wants to download books while away from one computer or if one does not have wireless home network if you buy the 3g version you would not have to buy router and set up home network in order to shop and download to your kindle without connecting it to your computer once my kindle was charged and the books were in place settled down to read that is why bought the kindle in the first place and love it navigating the menus is easy looking things up in the dictionary or at wikipedia is snap changed the font size and words per line to suit me using the text key super easy and then lost myself in my reading knew they had me when reached up with my index finger to turn the page forgot was reading on kindle it that easy that real that book like already have desktop computer laptop an ipod touch and smartphone hesitated before buying the kindle wondering if really needed another device am thrilled and delighted and so glad decided to get the kindle reading on the kindle is pleasure have thousands of books and love them but where to put them all is getting to be problem now my new books will be stored at amazon highly recommend the latest kindle to book lovers everywhere 1 UNK this is so awsome also have kindle on iphone and they work together great product 1 once you kindle you ll never go back once kindle you never go back to paper just went green and purchased 3g kindle and it is fabulous easy on the eyes feels good to hold makes reading very enjoyable if it is not on your christmas list put it on 1 awesome always bit UNK about purchasing new releases but the kindle with wi fi finally hit the magic number my heart said no more and bit after an UNK month long wait and weekend of UNK at the ups website my kindle arrived it came on and worked exactly as advertised downloaded the 24 books had already collected and have begun reading through them after almost week with it around the house and more importantly at work can honestly say have no regrets for this purchase usually wish had UNK for more or waited just bit longer but feel this was worth the price paid and hope it continues to UNK for me the same as it has so far it fully earned my UNK days in when went to work towards the end of book and didn have to lug UNK along with me just went and started something new it fits well into the back pocket of my UNK for easy carrying around which was of my big points as walk around often with things in my hands and usually carry paperback in my pocket this does not UNK that portability now begins the long and fun process of building new library of books amazon has long had me as UNK customer and UNK any UNK UNK and UNK customer service will remain as such love my kindle 1 good product bad delivery am satisfied with my amazon kindle 3rd generation however the delivery method is not optimal the company which brought the item to me dhl UNK didn call UNK therefore wasn even home when they delivered it my mom had to pay for it the company added an additional fee of on top of the 20 paid for the delivery itself which is not reasonable would like to have more delivery options to UNK being introduced especially less expensive ones thank you for your time UNK 1 great device am enjoying the kindle way beyond my expectations it is light easier to carry than paperback easy to read and doesn get UNK 1 the most wonderful day gift ever got received my kindle last week as birthday gift actually had to wait about 10 days to get it but UNK meantime downloaded the kindle for the mac that let me set up kindle account and get books ordered for the big day well it came and have been reading ever since have to 3g version since have no wireless and it works great of course it is little slow loading websites but then it is not too slow like the article view mode on the websites also like how you can jump to site to check out something right in the middle of your reading was UNK at first by the size of the five way but it is really easy to use have already finished one book and have several more stacked up one of the best things for me is the research capabilities when reading book you come upon an UNK word instant dictionary when you come upon an interesting topic you want more info on just search the web kindle has an article mode for pages that blows up the article so you can read it like regular page then when you are done you hit back and you re right back in your book one more thing the game every word is highly addictive watch out overall love my kindle it really is the best birthday gift ve ever received 0 kindle wi fi my unit would access my wi fi system but could not access the kindle store except thru the experimental browser could only access the net thru the browser after two UNK with technical services and downloading updated software plus other steps the tech finally suggested do power reset which involved turning off on my wi fi router at that point gave up don think should have to UNK with my computer network to get this thing to work definitely glitch somewhere in the unit returned for refund 1 is the kindle something you should buy is the kindle something you should buy believe it comes down to simple questions do you love have to read this is reading device it does other things like surf the web read to you out loud play mp3 but none of those other things does it do well had UNK of checking my email on vacation and visiting my favorite websites after few minutes on the browser those UNK UNK other people said this same thing but for some reason didn believe them entirely the person at amazon who came up with the term experimental should be given UNK that is exactly what these non reading features are do not buy this device for any other reason than reading books as reader this thing is exceptional it is different from every other electronics device you own the non backlit screen is just like reading book more specifically slightly glossy black and white magazine this is the first time that have ever seen held kindle opened the box and there was crystal clear image on the screen that looked like piece of paper UNK that my hand reached for corner of the image to see if it was stick on screen protector that could be pulled away it is easy to get used to reading the kindle because it is just like reading book it lightweight and easy to hold feels good in your hands the page turn buttons are well placed and become second nature easily do you want to play with it like toy and type on it again not so great this is for reading question do you have good amount of disposable income owning this will put UNK on your UNK you will want to fill this with your favorite books you will want to buy any new exciting book for your kindle for many people spending 50 to 100 or more month for kindle books is not an issue it is for me my wife and get lot of use out of our public library UNK any new books from my favorite authors probably borrow 90 of the books read the kindle wants to change this it UNK to me that really need to own this book rather than make that long long trip 10 minutes UNK to the library or sometimes even wait weeks for book it is so easy to buy book on the kindle when you visit page on the amazon store you are literally click away from owning the book and reading it in minute have never made such quick easy charge to my UNK card as did last night when bought my first kindle book amazon has the whole thing set up so nicely it reminds me of back in the 80 when compact UNK were first released music lover as much as book lover even though we all had hundreds of UNK and UNK our new cd player would whisper to us that we need to buy our collection over on cd the sound is better it said it so much UNK to listen to this on the new technology experiencing UNK UNK reading on your new kindle is fun fast and convenient we all will have to decide how much money this is worth to us if you answered yes to both of these questions have no doubt that you will love your kindle 1 first impressions this is my first experience with an reader so can really compare it to anything other than printed books so far ve found the kindle experience to be very similar to that of reading printed book currently reading 1000 page book and that would be annoying with paperback other than obvious cases such as book with color photos will always prefer to read on the kindle due to its size and light weight but won all of UNK find myself UNK if have to read something in print browsing is one area where print beats kindle for example kindle doesn really lend itself to flipping ahead to see how many pages remain in the chapter or flipping back to refresh your memory of something you ve already read surprised that several books ve looked at are not available for kindle mostly science fiction pros small and light the form factor is really great long battery life easy to use books download in seconds should be awesome for traveling holds multiple books no more 18 paperbacks from the airport store cons clumsy to browse through pages can swap books with friends after you ve read them not well suited for publications such as magazines newspapers or books with color pictures overall bought this to be book reader and it excels at that very satisfied and happy to have bought it 1 no horror stories here really can add much to what others have said here except to say that my kindle arrived when promised and it works perfectly honestly believe many of the horror stories you read here are few and far between enjoy your kindle and happy reading 1 add me to the list of happy users this is my third kindle and very happy with it ve had each of the generations of kindle and every one is an improvement over the last in my opinion love the size of this version just came back from business trip the kindle fit so nicely into my purse it was great the recent software improvements are great too love that can go out and about on my kindle and then log in later from my droid and pick up right where left off or can do the same on my pc it awesome that they all sync so nicely glad that amazon has stayed true to their design for this to be reader only and kept away from the whistles and bells that the other devices have different devices have different purposes my kindle is how read books and look up things about books and authors etc an ipad or ipod would be for music and other entertainment gifted my kindle to my sister who is enjoying it quite bit and plan on keeping my kindle nice to have backup or spare around these are truly my favorite gadgets because they UNK reading and love to read oh and also purchased the case with the built in light it great too like not having to struggle with separate light look forward to UNK up with my kindle and reading many books this device is so seamless and easy to use that can sink happily into the book and not have to think about the gadget reading it on thanks amazon 1 request rather than review this is request to amazon about the kindle rather than review can you make it possible to highlight UNK and UNK errors in books to report to the author in the future it can be quite annoying to keep UNK back to page in the book that has obvious errors thanks 1 latest kindle is almost star but held back by content really enjoy using our new kindle 3g wifi everything about the actual kindle unit seems to work well and the reader itself is outstanding what would it take to give the kindle stars better user experience though the book buying process is simple finding books and the selection of books isn exactly fast and ideal even more ebooks shouldn cost more than since it electronic material believe the reason more ebooks aren sold is because of the price would love to see amazon try something truly unique with kindle like 30 day UNK on books rather than purchasing definitely think kindle would be great if it was possible to UNK book rather than buy it too since many books aren items that want to own keep anyway have nook too they pretty much bring the same level of ease and access to me the biggest difference is that kindle accessories seem to be little better integrated the kindle lighted cover is an example kindle option is far and away better than the options for nook 1 my new kindle this seems to be very good product and it is so easy to get books no running all over creation trying to find something to read especially like trying new authors or ones that have never read so far so good 1 well worth it after reading vast majority of the kindle reviews posted so far finally received my own kindle via ups yesterday although have only had it for 24 hours or so am already quite happy with it noticed that the negative reviews seemed to center on few common UNK so ll address those first build quality briefly spent time with friends kindle before receiving the kindle and can say that the kindle does have more solid expensive feel to it nonetheless the kindle doesn feel cheap at all it is lighter and more UNK than the k2 but the build quality is solid all of the UNK are tight the buttons feel like they have the proper amount of spring and the page turn buttons feel solid button placement some have commented that the page turn buttons are too easy to press when you pick up the device have done this UNK once or twice but no big deal you just turn back one page or learn to pick the unit up differently every design will have some UNK lack of number buttons since it not UNK don see the big deal here web browser don think the unit should be reviewed on that point since it is an experimental feature however will comment on it for those who are interested in that feature don think the browsing experience in this sort of device is very good and don see myself ever using it while there perfectly good iphone in my pocket the screen just doesn work well for pages that are designed with lot of multimedia on them opened up and it looked like confusing mess software so far have had no issues with UNK freezing and the software seems snappy and responsive do wish that we could personalize the screen saver in sleep mode battery life ll update when have more time with it but since fully charging it yesterday ve read about third of novel and used the lighted cover and it looks like ve got roughly 80 90 battery remaining ve kept wi fi on the whole time overall the actual reading experience was great tried it both with and without the lighted cover that also purchased and found it to be very easy to read on easy on the eyes and the device it self does very quickly disappear leaving you alone with the story would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in getting into the book world 0 poor 3g signal love my kindle and wanted to upgrade to the next generation because it is smaller and thought it would be easier to hold although amazon UNK this latest generation kindle as having 3g that works globally they chose the at network as the phone service UNK that connects the unit to amazon on their whispernet the at network has poor coverage area unless you are in major UNK area the kindle works on the sprint network and never had any connection problems with it the kindle support representative that spoke with said that my only option for better connection needed to shop in the kindle store and to transfer data would be to install wi fi connection in my home it is disturbing that amazon did not choose to continue with the same phone service UNK or take the opportunity to improve the service instead they chose UNK with even less coverage beware if you are operating this kindle in an area that does not have strong at signal 1 if you ve got lot of time all going to say is that you ll spend way too much time reading if you get one of these yes that possible there no shortage of good books that will keep you up all night then all day then all night the next night and so on the kindle makes finding reading material almost too easy well guess one more thing why on earth is the music feature still experimental seriously the kindle has volume buttons and headphone jack but the software is still experimental great hardware but amazon might need some more software engineers 1 love it it very slim and easy to carry any were love the contrast of the black and white screen great to use and read from you can also web browse from it you can read the news on UNK or UNK from the web browser and you get your book fast will not have to go to another book store gain love it and money well spent and 3g plus 1 nice product web browser has UNK there are tons of reviews on the features of the the book reader functionality and couple of UNK reviews about the experimental web browser will focus on the latter topic at first was UNK in the web UNK especially because we paid the extra money for the 3g connectivity my initial mistake and mostly many others was trying to utilize the website UNK ie addresses that use on my pc if you do this you may find the kindle interface to be little clunky and frustrating most likely giving up however if you switch over to the mobile version of websites you will find that the kindle web browser does have viable use if you have an itouch iphone android etc you are most likely already UNK with these specially formatted websites yahoo UNK new york times your home town newspaper etc not familiar with mobile UNK just type in mobile web sites on your pc you get list of sites that UNK links to the mobile version of the UNK the UNK web site is not bad place to start bookmark it on your kindle not every mobile site will render on the kindle but more that than enough to check your mail and read the news plus find movie start times and the weather UNK 1 fantastic device am absolutely thrilled with this device for people living in europe who want an ebook reader for mostly english language books the kindle is absolutely the best choice had bought the ebook reader pocketbook that had the most positive reviews here in germany only to discover that can download amazon english kindle books to it and other online bookstores don have the rights for english books in europe sent the reader back and bought kindle although was UNK at amazon for it UNK policy basically forcing me to buy kindle if want english books boy am glad was forced to buy it first of all the kindle 3g wifi display was alot cheaper but that wouldn really have bothered me if the other reader had been better than the kindle it isn even close the kindle design is fantastic easy to use pleasant to read and handle lightweight great size and incredible functions like text to voice different fonts and sizes easy browsing super fast download anywhere anytime 3g works just fine in germany the keypad is great easy to use you can turn pages from both sides of the kindle and organize your books easily only improvement would like would be the possibility to read other formats epub etc and that the UNK would work in europe it doesn all in all am pleasantly surprised how great this device is much better in every respect than any other ebook reader ve looked at already hooked for now don care that can download books from other stores for me in germany amazon has the best and largest selection of ebooks anyway highly recommend it for UNK wanting to download english language books don forget to buy an adaptor for europe and recommend the kindle lighted cover excellent product 1 fantastic product absolutely love my latest generation kindle can put it down there are UNK of affordable books and the screen resolution is far better than print book there no UNK or screen UNK really incredible 0 UNK my previous review the new controls placement of the cursor wheel next to the back button the tiny cursor is an UNK can believe amazon UNK their previous joy stick and further UNK the landscape of the buttons putting them right on top of each other if you just read book you probably won notice this but if you have to look up word in the middle of the page or if you read newspaper on the new kindle you are going to discover how easy it is to hit the wrong button this particularly UNK on newspaper where that jumps you back to the section list and there is no memory of which article you were reading and you can only hope to navigate back to successfully yes like the new screen but am sorry now gave my 2nd generation to my daughter because now have the third generation priced yes and worth less 1 fabulous have had the kindle for about week now and it fabulous so easy to use comfortable to hold light as feather screen is easy on the eyes and the price can be beat when you compare to other reader devices and free 3g to boot could not be happier if you love to read get the kindle you will not be sorry 1 love this ereader received my kindle wifi last week and it is easy to operate do have to go down to mcdonald to get wifi connection to download books which download quickly the screen is easy to read also great way to store books and lot less clutter in the house recommend buying the lighted cover it is heavy but feel it would be easy to accidentally drop the kindle without the cover would like more info about sharing books with other kindles thinking about getting one for my mom the square trade warranty is about UNK savings compared to the service net planning to purchase that when the site is functioning again overall recommend the kindle latest generation 1 kindle vs nook well learned book friends don understand why there is always much comparison reviews between the nook and kindle eventually UNK on one or the other both are at level of very reasonable cost now both have really good points and both have some drawbacks have both or rather have the nook and my husband has the kindle we trade back and forth and take advantage of books from both amazon and barnes and noble it considerably UNK our library UNK use of both formats and the best cost between the two stores with free downloading it really is no different than using two different phones or computers had planned all along to take advantage of both of these readers starting with nook and then the waiting game for the next gen kindle while building our library for the kindle on my iphone we couldn be happier with both of these readers different yes but both do an excellent job for what they were designed to do read and store your books in one place and both fit together into very small case for travel can UNK in the near future that the cost will be down enough that many will own both readers my only wish that these ereaders would function as like the kindle iphone reader and barnes and noble reader for the iphone color and page UNK and touch screens but of course that would make them larger and somewhat heavier but both those programs are awesome on the iphone don want ipad certainly don want to lock into another provider and contract so dear readers enjoy take full advantage of both of these very nice readers you can have the best of both worlds or little of not the best of both too 1 ll never buy sony again the kindle rocks ve been loyal sony ereader user for several years own sony prs 505 sony prs 600 as well as sony prs 700 ve resisted the kindle for years for various reasons guess the biggest reason being not wanting to jump on the kindle bandwagon big mistake due to my continued frustration with my sony prs 505 poor screen constant UNK costs of books within the sony library limited book section etc looked at the kindle again and pulled the trigger having used both the sony and kindle can tell you the new kindle 3g blows the sony away everything con with the sony is pro with the kindle sony ereader line up can not hold candle to the kindle the kindle is the UNK standard in the class of ereaders if you re debating between the kindle and sony stop go with the kindle you will not regret your decision 1 awesome but they re lying about the battery life love my new 3g wifi kindle had been using kindle for blackberry for bit as an emergency reader tried at one point to go week with it but really tired me out the screen on this thing is phenomenal bright direct sunlight makes it look that much more beautiful and while like book you don want to read in dim light ve done fine with less than ideal lighting spent one week with kindle only and read hours and hours comfortably price is good too when added the savings on paid material plus value of the free public domain stuff this had already more than paid for itself before even considered purchasing UNK suggestions bought the UNK leather cover led light works great but for two things rarely in an area where need that led unit the fold open cover really takes away the beauty of the feel of the unit by itself so am buying the built brand UNK sleeve and maybe on trips will carry the lighted cover separately for UNK the beta UNK finally allowed the experimental browser and social network sharing to work did not work out of the box the browser is so so the sharing function great using it with twitter and since my twitter and facebook are linked shows up in both places one month battery life who are they trying to kid on my week trip only turned on the wireless several minutes in the am to download current periodicals used the led reading light for about 10 minutes during the UNK UNK trip into UNK when it was impossible to read otherwise other than than yeah did heavy reading in the evening and was lucky to get one week out of the battery when came home just for fun left the wireless on did not use the reading light and am lucky if get days off charge with my reading am sure with no wireless and no led could get weeks easily but to get to month they probably did some UNK UNK such as amount of time at work amount on computer at home amount social amount tv leaving 10 20 minutes day reading on the kindle and yeah with no wireless that would probably get month use but don they realize the only ones that will buy something like this are UNK that said this thing is so freaking cool couldn justify even UNK one star from it my rating enjoy 1 what more can be said as first time reader customer am only able to go off of what now have in my hands the new kindle 3g wifi is fantastic ease of use is amazing contrast on the screen makes it easy to read in almost any light the download of books is amazingly fast the ease of set up for wi fi is great the selection of cheap or free books is better than hoped for am not sold completely on the web browsing although have tried it couple of times and it seemed to work UNK but did not buy it for that anyway have had none of the problems that have seen posted regarding the kindle freezing or locking up it has worked like UNK have downloaded 20 books the first day and have immensely enjoyed the reading experience so far can say that it has exceeded my expectations and that is saying lot as had very high expectations before receiving it 1 better than book ve always been an avid reader and tend to breeze through books rather quickly with physical books this can create problem due to the extra time effort and money have to go through to obtain them some paperbacks can also be rather flimsy once had copy of the UNK of the UNK that started falling apart before had even finished reading it the first time now that have my kindle don have to worry about any of that once finish book can nearly instantly get new one to read don have to worry about the pages falling out or weird printing issues that can come up in traditional books there are also lots of little UNK to reading on kindle that may not be immediately apparent one handed reading can actually eat while reading try that with traditional book no handed reading with real books you usually need to keep hand on the book itself to prevent it from closing it even worse if you re outside and it UNK with the kindle you can just UNK it down on your desk or lap and press the next page button occasionally bookmarks can tell you how many times ve been called away from book and needed to UNK for piece of paper to save my place bookmarks can become UNK or sink into the pages never to be seen again if UNK on my kindle can just set it down and UNK to whatever need to UNK to the ink display is thing of beauty if you haven had the opportunity to see one in action you re in for treat if had to describe it say it like if you were to print text on UNK paper or normal paper in page protector the fonts are very crisp and can only barely see the UNK if bring up to within inches of my face ve tried few pdfs and they render correctly for the most part also tried converting them using amazon conversion service but it UNK up the formatting too much to be useful recommend just reading pdfs straight this might be an issue if you have troubles reading small fonts so bear that in mind if you plan on reading lots of pdfs the web browser mostly worked but there are certainly some kinks to work out managed to lock up my kindle few times trying out article mode and there were some display errors on certain websites it doesn reduce my opinion of the kindle as it is first and foremost an ebook reader the web browser is an experimental extra there are just few little things that keep me from giving this most of which could be fixed with software update organization the kindle is fantastic at displaying books organizing them is another story the default UNK is to UNK all your books on the main screen for some reason there is huge gap between each title which UNK lot of space you can organize these books into categories that you create fantasy horror mystery UNK etc the interface for doing this is easy enough for individual books but using directional pad and tiny keyboard for UNK an entire library is bit annoying it would be nice if you could do this either on the amazon website or with desktop application some things are just better suited for computer with full sized keyboard file conversion the whole email process seems bit UNK to me it also brings up UNK concerns while sure amazon isn reading my pdfs before UNK them it still makes me feel bit uncomfortable sending them off to third party if you plan to read documents of sensitive nature on your kindle you may want to consider this while it would be little more work on amazon part especially if they want to make it cross platform much prefer simple desktop application to handle document conversion it could also allow things like editing UNK and adjusting formatting options interface UNK not complaining about the time it takes the eink display to change or the speed of the kindle in general find both perfectly adequate the area that feel does need some improvement is communicating that with the reader especially with large pdfs it can take bit longer for the page to turn sometimes up to few seconds during this time there is no indication that the next page is loading so you re left to wonder if you ve actually hit the button or not UNK you end up hitting it again and going forward or pages simple UNK UNK in the corner would UNK just like on the main menu screensavers already sick of the dead authors it seems like it would be UNK to allow me have my own screensaver it little thing but it be really nice to have maybe the default could be the cover of the book you last finished reading just like real book directional pad for the next iteration prefer directional pad with smaller button in the center and larger UNK the current button is huge when one the size of letter button would probably UNK ve accidentally pressed that quite few times navigating around but getting better overall the kindle makes fantastic book replacement give it my UNK recommendation 1 kindle is great need to buy new cover though kindles are great have the kindle and of course had to upgrade to the kindle what price drop from my kindle anyway love my kindle but my kindle cover does not fit on the kindle amazon maybe you should mention old kindle users will have to buy new kindle cover too maybe missed it in their UNK UNK 1 do not hesitate to purchase this kindle but battery life is not as advertised as person who requires top performance and UNK standards in my work don have too much patience for products and services that are UNK or poorly executed this is definitely not an issue with the kindle and the kindle purchasing experience rather in the case of the kindle 3g wifi graphite am absolutely amazed and UNK impressed let me explain shipping my kindle and kindle cover with light both arrived well in advance of the estimated delivery time the shipping was so fast as to be almost unbelievable the products arrive in UNK small boxes which are accessed with simple pull string this is not one of the UNK plastic UNK UNK that require UNK UNK and the use of non UNK materials to ship your kindle rather recycled materials are used the packaging is very easy to open very easy to break down for UNK and is completely adequate this is among the best packaging have seen both in size not over sized and in UNK the kindle is very well thought out device it arrives with sufficient charge to begin use upon being removed from the box although it is recommended that it be charged up first you can see videos of the UNK and set up of the kindle on youtube which are helpful since the kindle can be used while being charged you spend the first afternoon with it plugged in and charging as you read through the very thorough UNK and getting to know your kindle information as you read along you can test out the features as you read about them use the way navigation toggle to get an immediate dictionary definition of word in the text you re reading the instructions and UNK are very complete and this aspect of UNK the new user UNK in my opinion while was waiting for delivery of my kindle was able to buy books from amazon and have them delivered by whispernet mon its cool UNK proprietary book delivery system when my kindle arrived UNK it and plugged it in and found that all of my purchases were already downloaded into the device know its easy to get UNK in this age of technical UNK but really this thing was sitting in dhl UNK while it was filling up with books ordered off my personal computer many miles away the so called whispernet delivery worked flawlessly since your kindle is automatically linked to your amazon account when you buy your kindle if this doesn impress the pants off you then you may have lost your sense of being able to be amazed talk about well thought out well executed technology additional purchases are made from the kindle itself or if prefer to use my personal computer which do then purchases are made from the amazon kindle store and are delivered electronically to your device wow wow wow if could speak to several authors of the classics suspect they would UNK their UNK in amazement at the development of small tablet that can receive thousands of entire books with the click of button the so called electronic ink is really easy to read the real time dictionary at your fingertips UNK UNK the flow of the reading and you can even search out topic on wikipedia if you have wifi connection again if you re not amazed by the convenience of having 500 books in tiny device that UNK books through the UNK UNK and loads them into your device without UNK then its time to re UNK just how amazing this technology really is overall pros user friendly from the packaging it arrives in to the common sense feel of the keyboard navigation small in UNK it is therefore portable cons heavier than thought it would be navigation keys for forward backward page movement are often in my way when trying to get comfortable grip on the device while reading it really does require some sort of cover or case went with the amazon cover with the electronic light built in which is much better than the reviews tend to UNK once kindle can organize the buttons and navigation keys in such way that you can grip the device without inadvertently navigating it ll get stars as it is it should be for me in conclusion this is an amazing gadget for the money granted there will be many credit card UNK for books which is where amazon will make its money the device itself is pretty low priced and know that my UNK friends would be quick to tell me things don make us happy which believe to be true but this is one of those things that is real pleasure to have in your hand its true book titles beyond UNK in one tiny electronic device no paper no trees cut down all in small device that you can take just about anywhere it seems to me to be the biggest UNK in the written word since gutenberg UNK the printing press in the mid UNK about time too 1 happy UNK let me just start by saying am total novice when it comes to technology placed an order for the wifi kindle back on just received it this week when placed my order had no idea what the difference between wifi and 3g was am on budget so ordered the wifi version at the time did not even have wireless router but was sent one by my UNK had no idea it would be the UNK router well with all the weeks of waiting and reading all the reviews on amazon com was starting to get worried if would be able to connect with my router must say all the reviews were most helpful and have learned lot over the past few weeks well finally got my baby and was so excited was hoping would be able to get connected with my router but had my doubts tried at least times with no luck finally decided would have to send my baby back and get 3g model packed it all up and was UNK UNK thought would give it one more chance and unpacked it and to my very happy surprise my kindle and router finally made the connection don ask me how but as previous reviewer noted it helps to know your wireless password needless to say am very happy that do not have to return my kindle the books that have been ordering while waiting for my kindle to arrive all downloaded with no problem once got connected am not sure how this happened since it is an router but somehow the connection was made and am more than pleased with my kindle thanks amazon 1 lt kindle recently purchased my first kindle which is the latest generation can tell you enough how great it is and how easy it is to use not sure how it compares with the older editions but think it great would definately recommend this product to anyone who loves to read 1 wonderful gadget don usually write reviews but this little thing was too good not to praise this is my first reader although do own an iphone and do be honest it works better than apple touch screen sure in theory touch screen is faster but you will find yourself UNK there is often lag etc the kindle ui works just fine and the buttons aren small at all nor is the way button in other words don let reviews about those things keep you from buying this really good piece of electronics 0 contrast and low light issues ok ve only owned this for couple of days and pretty happy with it do have two UNK though one is the screen refresh speed when turning pages or switching UNK there is half second moment where UNK is blurry not big deal though two the thing that really bothers me though is the screen contrast in perfect lighting or even UNK light it looks great but dim the lights little or read with the back of the book to the light and it unreadable for example normally read on the couch and UNK happy with the lighting but on the kindle can read there have to make sure that have light source behind me know this doesn seem like big deal but it just made me uncomfortable when reading it shame but for such great produce this little issue might just be enough for me to consider returning it 1 una UNK UNK de lectura great reading experience la UNK oacute al leer en el UNK es muy UNK al UNK UNK eacute de un UNK te UNK que est aacute UNK en un UNK UNK oacute UNK en mi aacute UNK UNK un UNK ntilde post de la UNK UNK eacute de una UNK con el kindle 1 new and non savvy tech users this is from non savvy older generation non UNK didn understand about wifi and ordered the less expensive new kindle with wifi after spending two days trying to use my amazon password finally called support and got good information you have to have password with wifi what is that in order to hook up readable material the support guy UNK was very UNK and didn UNK at me sent the wifi unit back and am ordering the young people assume too much when it comes to tech stuff and who read UNK wanted to carry around more than one book at time we ll see how manage when get the 3g unit ll let you know 1 shipping find it amazing that people are complaining about not receiving their kindle those who ordered one the end of august and forward should have read that shipment would not be until at least september 17 now 20 how can anyone complain if they have already been told if you were so lazy as to not read the site then the issue is yours not amazon if you are so unhappy cancel your order too ordered my kindle august 29 and do not UNK receiving it for another couple of weeks am looking forward to it but am patient enough to wait please note am an amazon customer and do not work for them 0 amazon didn ship my order why did pay for day shipping last wednesday and they haven shipped it days later UNK ridiculous horrible poor service ll know not to rely on amazon com in the future for gift purchases 1 love the new kindle bought the 2nd addition kindle and thought might like it even though ve never been much of reader since receiving the 2nd addition have read more for fun in the past months than have in my entire life liked the 2nd addition very much but decided to upgrade to the new one due to the pdf features and the better contrast this is even better than the 2nd addition if that possible can read the UNK much better because the contrast is better the way search tool is far better than the 2nd addition it lighter looks nicer feels nice and love that the previous next button is on both sides of the kindle as only read with one hand this is by far the best way to read book another thing love about it is that it allows you to read as many books as you want without taking up space on bookshelves and you can literally take 000 books with you on plane in one compact device would highly recommend this to anyone who likes to read or wants to start reading you won know what you did before the kindle and you get so lost in it at first you ll want to reach up and flip the page manually if you re thinking of getting this and can decide if you ll use it or not get it and you won regret it know didn 1 can ask for more just wanted to share my kindle UNK with all my amazon friends amazon had been my choice for everything their customer support is unbeatable and after purchasing the kindle and trying it for weeks now noticed the couple hours charge gave my kindle the moment UNK it were enough to run me for these weeks and it is still running for now with 50 battery it is light crisp screen and just perfect amazon thank you 1 why did it take so long to ship when paid extra for shipping admit do love my new kindle but have one problem paid extra money for faster shipping and it still took weeks for me to receive my package believe that deserve refund on the extra paid for UNK shipping 1 watch out for the covers received my wi fi kindle purchased books and began to enjoy it all was going well five days later received my UNK orange cover with light attached my kindle to the cover super easy and continued to enjoy it twenty four hours later the problems started first my kindle would no longer hold battery charge even with the wi fi turned off had to charge it daily this was against everything that amazon had advertised as far as the battery staying charged for three weeks to one month next decided to shop in the kindle store however suddenly was unable to connect to wi fi anywhere this after not having any problems the first five days all it said was no wi fi UNK started UNK to my husband telling him my kindle was defective and would be returning it to amazon he told me to remove it from the cover did and behold instant access to wi fi and the battery holds its charge without the cover as advertised so if you experience any problems with your kindle and you have it in one of the expensive 59 99 covers with the light try removing the kindle from the cover first 1 UNK UNK if you UNK or UNK the kindle is the most awesome thing to come along no more looking for the one book for that pattern you can mark it and UNK UNK in the middle of project mark your spot and UNK no more where the heck was love love love the kindle it has made my project life so much easier as for reading books so easy and comfortable to hold yay kindle 0 beware crappy service beware there is no possible way to find out if or when the kindle will ship maybe you will get it and maybe you won 1 love it very pleased with my kindle so far the screen is even better than expected it my first reader no problems yet so overall very happy about my purchase 1 kindle 3rd generation wifi 3g have been an avid reader ever since but my UNK on reading UNK when started to work when bought the kindle have been regularly reading again the original software version though did had some glitches but the new software upgrade did solve the problem of re booting freezing hope amazon kindle continues to explore ways to address problems thanks 1 pretty good got my kindle my first digital reader and am happy with the purchase reading books on it is really enjoyable especially outdoor under the sun the built quality is great navigation both for the book reader and the browser needs to improve it is cumbersome to use the menu and the way pad so hopefully next generation will have touch screen but at least it should have well UNK shortcut keys the browser is usable but not stable when big page is loaded it just freezes and it reboots itself once during my usage and again the browser navigation is just horrible so it is only good for occasional web browsing pdf support is weak there is no option to UNK the pdf file and thus the fonts is so tiny to read you can use bigger fonts but then the page become to large to hold in one screen and you need to constantly move the line when reading which is not good one UNK is to convert the pdf to mobi and then the readability issue is solved with all the cons said it is still little gem well worth the money and it is very enjoyable to use it outdoor an update after couple weeks of usage 20 2010 battery life not as good as advertised with wifi on it lasts only couple of days navigation amazon needs to improve the software dramatically to make it more productive right now the navigation is just pain needs to click too many keys to complete function hardware the processor is simply too slow especially for the browser hopefully next generation can be better 1 kindle is truly amazing this is my very first kindle or book reader the type that waits until product has gone through several generations to get things worked out am so happy with my kindle wi fi graphite and kindle lighted cover you cannot believe how beautiful the screen is until you get one in your hands by all means try one of these if you re on the fence you have 30 days to return it and you won be disappointed am an avid reader with several hundred traditional paper books that love and will continue to keep and read but this this is UNK UNK bring your entire library with you wherever you go an amazing concept amazon terrific job on this product and the many small details such as the packaging UNK is fun and the ordering and status checking and discussion forums experience thanks satisfied customer 1 one more reason to love your kindle as proud owner of the kindle ordered the kindle 3g the second day that was available got it 30 minutes before left the house to visit my parents in sydney australia since there are already lot reviewers on this product am going to focus on the other functions of the kindle had my kindle kindle ipad itouch and iphone with me the sydney airport has free wifi but have to have service provider account to use the free wifi so despite trying to follow instructions for international UNK cannot get wifi connection on my itouch nor ipad my parents do not have wifi nor the internet so when woke up in the middle of the night 15 hours time difference the light bulb in my head came on UNK UNK UNK have kindle 3g had tried out the web UNK on my k1 before so thought should be able to use the web browser on my brand new k3 was so excited really was like kid UNK presents christmas morning when got connected to yahoo to check my email it worked so flawlessly that just could not believe it the signal was very good almost all bars all the time there is section of the screen in box with magnifying glass so you can zoom in section of the screen the arrows are used to move the cursor around on the screen like mouse and the center button works just like mouse click am also amazed at the speed really cannot complain at something that thin and light the pictures in the emails showed up amazingly clear yes it is black and white but no complaints also went to facebook works flawlessly and most of all it is free how can you not love this feature also bought several books just to try out the 3g in another country and the download was very fast 100 stars 1 the best kindle yet travel fairly often and was an early adopter of kindle haven been disappointed the promise of the pre paid 3g whispernet was very appealing at the get go and have been very very pleased with my ability to download on the road and in airports without having to find wireless hotspot or computer to hook up to subscribe to the electronic editions of the new york times the UNK times and the UNK all of which have arrived like UNK on my kindle since signed up couple of years ago also have growing collection of books no more UNK no newspaper ink to UNK my spouse no heavy books to lug around on trips all the avid reader needs is little backup reading for those brief periods during take off and UNK when the UNK makes us turn off our kindles the kindle has been very reliable and held up well under the stress of travelling had little problem with the screen on my second kindle after several months of use of otherwise reliable use and amazon replaced it promptly efficiently and with no questions asked obviously kindle fan but ve been especially pleased by the new kindle the screen contrast and page load speed are better than its predecessors the device is smaller now although the screen is the same size as the prior version and that big plus when you are lugging briefcase full of materials through an airport the space saving inherent in the new kindle is cause for UNK the kindle and kindle relatively short battery life used to be something of mild annoyance especially on longer flights but the new kindle seems to have improved performance in that department haven tested the kindle international capabilities yet though can say from recent experience that UNK miss my kindle downloads when traveling abroad and now look forward to having my reading materials wherever may travel if my local paper the UNK and the new UNK would just come out in an edition could go all kindle the other nice thing about the kindle is that amazon seems to listen to what its users say about it each version has gotten lighter better and easier to use the kindle is the best yet but ll bet the UNK will be even better and ll buy it as soon as it comes out 1 love my new kindle ive been waiting years to get kindle but couldnt afford the price of the original kindle was so happy when they came out with the new wifi 139 00 kindle recently purchased one and couldnt be happier its very user friendly and there are thousands of books to download also the prices of the books and other materials seem more than reasonable to me the only complaint that may have is that it has no back light but for vision impaired people like me love the font feature so dont really miss the back light that much thanks so much for making the kindle affordable for wider range of people im looking forward to many years of reading pleasure with mine 1 love it waited several days before writing this review so that could truly give my opinion unlike all of the people out there complaining about shipping time issues received my kindle three days earlier than amazon had originally told me great news couldn wait to get into it it worked right out of the box and had no issues setting up my wireless connection which was concern of mine given the recent reviews it light love the new gray color and think that the idea of sampling books is UNK do wish that there were page numbers associated with your location in the book but don consider it major drawback and do think that eventually amazon will correct this issue the contrast in low light isn great however reading print book in low light isn ideal either think that if you read lot or already have too many books to count and or store then the kindle is truly gem 0 thanks for nothing amazon ordered on aug 10th for my wife birthday tracking says it was delivered today no kindle in my UNK call amazon and the guy on the phone tries to bs me that delivered means that the UNK received it at UNK and that it doesn mean it was delivered to me have used UNK tracking for years and delivered means delivered amazon don treat me like child and give UNK UNK now being told have to wait until the 27th of the month to file non delivered item claim what pain to UNK my complaint isn about the kindle sure whoever received my wife kindle loves it my complaint is about the extremely poor customer service received from cs rep in the kindle customer service UNK if he had asked me to wait few days and see if it shows up and then call them back have done exactly that this is what read to the cs rep it straight from the UNK tracking site detailed results delivered september 10 2010 UNK pm UNK UNK electronic shipping info received september 10 2010 out for delivery or available at UNK box september 10 2010 17 am UNK UNK sorting complete september 10 2010 UNK am UNK UNK arrival at post office september 10 2010 UNK am UNK UNK even after told him that the tracking site said that it was out for delivery or available at UNK box he still tried to tell me that it didn mean that it was on its way to me he tried to tell me that it meant that it was probably just dropped off at UNK and quote the UNK is UNK UNK and they have different UNK for terms like that different meaning for the word delivered called him on that and he said that he would stand by his original UNK there was no attempt at anything UNK customer service here none at all that is my complaint so if you re UNK because it review of amazon UNK customer service and not review of the kindle then please move on to the next UNK review 1 love it while was waiting on my kindle to ship thought about purchasing an ipad and UNK the kindle after got the kindle used it few days and love it 0 needs better screen this otherwise spectacular product is UNK by screen with gray background while the fonts are dark black and well UNK the gray background does not compare with the white background of paper book once the ink technology has improved would be UNK about the kindle one minor complaint keep accidentally turning pages this could be fixed by moving the page turn buttons higher up the sides of the device and making them little smaller 0 quality control problems first the good stuff kindle has very readable high contrast screen the form factor is small and light enough to be book replacement purchasing and downloading content is simple and convenient however had series of problems which eventually led me to return my kindle after UNK and charging my kindle it refused to connect to my wireless network have variety of other devices ranging from UNK UNK to an ipod touch and two computers that work just fine on my wireless network but the kindle couldn connect after many attempts eventually gave up and turned it off when turned it back on several hours later it had UNK connected to my wifi network with the exact same settings that did not work earlier have noticed that several other users have ran into the same problem the next problem noticed was that something was UNK around inside the casing this is obviously not good sign then my kindle started freezing the first freeze happened while using the experimental browser as this is an experimental application wasn too concerned after power reset the kindle came back up the second freeze happened while playing shuffled row which is good game after this freeze my kindle refused to reboot after many power reset attempts yes did try keeping the power switch in the turn on position for up to 30 seconds as suggested by the manual eventually gave up and put it down however after few minutes the kindle started to reboot itself the was another freeze while reading book which was fixed with power reset tried to contact amazon for service but it looks like the only way to get kindle customer service is through phone call and then my kindle froze again while reading book this time nothing would reset the kindle when this last freeze happened the battery was charged about 75 at this point there was no option but to return the kindle there are some comments among the negative reviews here that the usual amazon com return process does not work in my case was able to follow the regular amazon return process and print return label so my kindle is back to amazon after less than week of use UNK from other reviews that had similar experiences as mine amazon appears to have specific quality control problem with this latest version of the kindle people may be more UNK of the reliability other electronic gadgets however it is unacceptable for product that is primarily intended to replace paper books to have issues like freezing and or rebooting after all never had paper book freeze or reboot on me so far receiving product with defects that should have been caught during testing before shipping pretty much UNK the kindle experience update october UNK 2010 since do like the kindle concept after reading about the improvement in UNK with the latest software upgrades purchased another kindle wifi everything was great for almost two weeks no crashes however yesterday the second kindle also ended up with frozen screen after following through the instructions on amazon kindle troubleshooting page and talking to the customer service there was no way to get the kindle out of the frozen state so this one is also going back the fact that this situation can happen to the same customer twice in matter of few months indicates either serious quality control problem or UNK reliability problem 1 simply amazing the kindle is simply amazing its so light easy to use and practical liked the fact that can change the font size too my only concern is about french books hope that we ll have bigger choice soon the amazon leather case is important and although read lots of bad comments concerning the light found it very useful im very satisfied with my kindle 1 kindle love to read and usually take five or six books with me on vacation what relief to not carry all those books around having fun learning to use my kindle 1 truth in advertising do not own the device and sure it very good but am the only one that is going to question the advertising saying kindle is our UNK item for two years running it also the most wished for most gifted and has the most star reviews of any product on amazon compared to what the itouch has more star reviews from what can tell amazon doesn even post it usual product UNK like it does for other products don get me wrong love amazon and purchase almost everything own from them but this just doesn seem right to me expect them to hold themselves to the highest standards then again could be wrong but hate to see UNK here just because it is their own product 1 totally awsome have had kindle for pc for very long time have it installed on two computers with one of them being on totally wireless radio UNK setup with the addition of the new wireless kindle my reading time has greatly increased this lets me read from my different computers and now from my wi fi unit it automatically told me of my archive books and lets me download them at my convenience truly an awesome device the whispersync feature truly is UNK it never fails to impress me on the ability to know where left off even when don remember best money ever spent for any electronic device 1 the best reader out there after owning the sony reader barnes and noble nook was glad to see amazon allow their kindle to be sold at target do not like to buy anything without first holding and trying it out well my local best buy had UNK in their store that was able to mess around with and after spending less than minutes with the kindle was sold but unfortunately best buy did not have any for sell and amazon would not have any more until mid september so went on hunt and found the kindle 3g at my local target store am now proud owner of kindle and would recommend it over all other readers out there in fact while at my local best buy the other night getting cover for my kindle noticed sales person showing lady the kindle but then they walked over to the nook so had to go put my cents in and am glad to say the lady ended up with the kindle everything about the kindle is better than the nook if had just one wish for the kindle it would be that the page changing buttons were little UNK to push to keep from accidentally turning the pages at times 1 the kindle is wonderful device ve been interested in getting kindle for years ever since it first came out the price drop combined with the added features was UNK for reading books kindle is perfect love being able to change font sizes so easily and downloading books is snap the letter and function keys are fine if bit small and difficult to read without glasses and page turns don bother me at all the ink screen contrast is impressive what amazing technology ve been using my kindle for couple of weeks now and the battery life is only down by 50 couldn ask for more than that love shopping on amazon kindle store via my computer whatever buy is downloaded to my kindle as soon as turn wi fi on this couldn be any easier also took my kindle outside on warm day and it performed very well it slowed little but not enough to be noticeable enough to bother me even sat in direct sunlight with it for few minutes and it was just fine tested the music function today it sounded good but there no volume control and you can only change songs in the order in which they were loaded onto your kindle music folder on your computer found the web browser very difficult to use so gave up before saw what my facebook page would look like however bought the kindle primarily as an reader so fine with its limitations elsewhere in fact hope amazon won try to make kindle an all things to all people device all in all very happy with my purchase this was money well spent and so glad that finally UNK the reading UNK look forward to many happy hours spent with my kindle 1 awesome kindle exceeds all exceeds all expectation can read for hours UNK the usual strain and UNK UNK reader immediate downloads easy access to all books no glare and easy print sizing for those with visual problems UNK with phone and computer using kindle app and program love it 1 much better than kindle they UNK it this time bought the kindle when it was first released wasn satisfied with the contrast so returned it and tried new unit the new unit wasn any better so returned it for refund and gave the kindle rather UNK review wanted to love the device just couldn stand to read it for long periods because of the contrast my conclusion was that the kindle was product with great potential but wasn quite mature enough for me when read that the contrast problem was solved in the kindle pre ordered it immediately in the hopes that they truly addressed the issue well they have the background is nice and white and the text appears in beautiful UNK black the contrast is absolutely fantastic it my favorite piece of consumer electronics now it also lighter thinner and cheaper they even resolved most of my minor quibbles about the user interface and screen refresh speed the four way cursor control button is much better than the kindle joystick was completely satisfied with the kindle battery life but they UNK it anyway amazon truly UNK it this time couldn recommend the thing more highly aside from the convenience of being able to buy books and newspapers anywhere and anytime being able to carry multiple books around in tiny package and all the other wonderful things about an reader think it possible that it actually good for the environment paper books are UNK of course so don think they re terribly UNK but there must be significant advantages with books no trees are cut down no UNK is UNK to transport the UNK make the paper or deliver the books to the store or to my home know there are downsides to any piece of electronics but if someone did detailed UNK and told me that overall books were better for the planet probably believe them either way it great device 1 upgrade to kindle is worth it had purchased kindle awhile back and was incredibly pleased with it while loved its convenience it was little slow little clunky and sometime difficult to read purchased the kindle as an upgrade somewhat UNK was it going to improve on some of the issues had with it will it be better visually there did not appear to much of difference but being the tech geek just had to have the latest and greatest it was worth the upgrade the new kindle is faster smaller and lot more responsive in addition the readability of this device is vastly improved with definite improvement in contrast the blacks are definitely blacker and closer to print the speed of the device is also noticeable as am able to quickly click to the book want and launch UNK up from sleep is near instantaneous and page turns are faster the other nice change is the navigation pad gone is the little UNK that was little odd to work with the new square navigation bad is step in the right direction all in all this new kindle is great improvement there are still few quibbles here and there but overall there is very little can complain about and at 140 it is no brainer to anyone who loves to read and is looking for an reader this is it this is the top of the line 1 after 10 years of waiting am thrilled with my new kindle have been waiting for truly usable book reading device for over 10 years was an early adopter of the UNK now UNK believe book reader that also UNK as pda poor screen text quality short battery life and lack of books from major publishers were the problems with that device so far on my kindle have downloaded current novels from my favorite authors and finding enjoy reading even more on the kindle than did from real books being able to adjust the text size depending on where sitting or lying is very convenient and the text could not be crisper or clearer it hard to imagine dealing with the UNK of books that won stay open anymore and it worth every penny ll spend on downloading books to avoid dealing with UNK and sometimes UNK UNK who knows what that UNK brown UNK is library books good UNK needed to make an emergency purchase of UNK book and how great was it to be able to download it on my kindle was concerned that reading nonfiction books with UNK UNK tips boxes etc would not work well on the kindle am often not UNK reader of that type of material UNK instead to flip through pages until something interesting UNK my eye found was able to focus better on the kindle and to read with UNK faster than was typical for me my only remaining concern is UNK specific material again which usually do by flipping pages and remembering roughly where on the page the information was located sure bookmarking in my kindle will solve that problem but haven tried it yet purchased the 3g rather than wifi only version because of the experimental web browser and the possibility of using the kindle to read email and do simple web browsing while traveling since don have 3g phone and don plan to get one well the web browser truly is rudimentary and awkward to use because the kindle doesn have touch screen but it would be better than nothing when stuck in an airport so don regret spending the extra 50 be aware though that the browser currently does not support pop up windows so any email program that opens messages in new window will not work 0 UNK working purchased the 3g kindle at 189 00 and it worked fine for the first couple of day on the third day it failed to hook up with my wifi even though it showed was connected tried everything could think of to respond never got it on line then the next problem appeared after turning off could never get it to boot up again it just would not start up again needless to say packed the thing up and shipped back to amazon for replacement hope the next one works little better 1 kindle love received my kindle 3g as gift love it it was the only wireless reader wanted not nook ipad or anything else find the resolution and clarity in practically any light perfect didn receive the case with the light otherwise might never get any sleep at night put it away in the evenings so that don turn it on before UNK my UNK in the morning whispernet is so cool and delivery of books or searches are practically instantaneous perfect nifty little device for any avid reader 1 love it received my kindle UNK generation last week so far absolutely love it it is so easy to slide in my purse and take along with me don have anything to compare it to but would recommend this kindle to anyone it doesn have the 3g but if you already have wireless router it doesn really matter that much you can ready your books anywhere and when am out places have been having fun checking to see if they have wi fi in their UNK etc it definitely would make good gift for someone that loves to read 0 constantly freezes my first kindle loved it right away but it keeps freezing on me just locks up while reading book not even pdf or anything difficult just regular book available from the kindle store you have to reset it by holding the power switch down for 15 seconds and then waiting about minutes for it to start up there no excuse for amazon shipping product like this it gets star from me 1 my new kindle recently received my new kindle and downloaded books actually before received the kindle and they were there and ready to read have to pick up my grandchildren after school and thought this would be good purchase since love to read anyway am senior and not particularly tech savvy so still learning about it UNK already read of my first books and am getting ready to order more think it is great product recommend it to all who like to read 0 hate because do not have ordered kindle from amazon apparently the only place it can be had for my wife birthday month ago it still hasn shipped maybe it great device maybe it not maybe by the time get it it will be UNK cannot write good review for this product when they can even ship it to the consumers 1 exactly as promised wanted an electronic reading device ever since they were using such devices on star trek the next generation they easily passed information from person to person using hand held devices while this was science fiction at the time the concept seemed like no UNK to me and knew it was just matter of time so waited for the actual technology to be UNK my first reader was the UNK UNK loved it but the problems were too huge to overcome it died about years ago ever since that then have been UNK over the kindle my mom bought sony reader and UNK about it but still wanted the kindle love to read never without book the thought of maybe being stuck somewhere for 10 minutes without something to read is UNK here the problem live in small read tiny house there is no more room for books unless give away the ones have have only kept the ones that have been my absolute favorites but alas am still out of room books are the only solution it is bummer thinking that don have hard copies but the truth is that can keep them anyway still bought books the UNK continues of course just gave them away this is no longer problem now can keep them all my husband bought me my kindle for my birthday yay my favorite part is that now can carry many books with me can actually carry my entire library if want have an account at UNK as well as amazon had no problem getting all of my books from UNK onto my kindle read little forum that showed me the trick of converting the secure mobipocket books into format kindle can read have lost nothing that have purchased in books by switching to this format found website that told me all the bad UNK about kindle and what was actually true cannot however read the books my mom purchased for her sony reader kindle and sony both have very proprietary formats that cannot be shared bummer was worried since had to wait for my kindle to arrive that it may not work properly after reading some of these reviews but luckily mine has worked just fine the 3g worked immediately since it was gift had to register it to my amazon account which worked without hitch when set it up to access my wi fi it was little UNK at first it was important to follow the directions exactly and to get my network password exactly correct when the kindle is hooked up to the computer it is seen as an extra hard drive so moving book pdf and mp3 files to it is breeze haven used the mp3 function as yet may like the non proprietary formatting but don know yet as for the kindle itself it is very easy to use it took me moment to get used to where the menus go but after going back and forth quickly got used to navigating the device love love the dictionary function if ever come across word don quite understand just move the cursor to the word and the definition appears on the bottom of the page nice it allows me to mark passages and make notes too so that if ever read the book again or if need the info can remember what thought about it ll figure out if like this feature if using it for reading textbook for class or something like that text to talk yes it has this feature you can choose male or female voice and it will read your book to you it not great but it does work can imagine using this function if have to drive and am reading something that just don want to put down there is no voice inflection and it UNK things like crazy especially with made up UNK fi words but like said it works the fact that it has the feature is huge plus just because it there if it reads your pdf documents it could be very valuable for work haven put any pdf files on it yet as for the screen it some kind of fascinating technology that not led or anything like it don understand how it works but like the effect it is so easy to see in any light the text is black on light but not white background it is really easy on the eyes it is not back lit but that is nice in that it does not drain the battery there are multiple font sizes and types do have some trouble with lighting it in bed at night but not nearly as much as had trying to read regular book have variety of book lights and can use them all with the kindle for best effect use an UNK light source because my most direct lights do reflect off of the screen making it hard to see my favorite light clips to the top of the unit but it makes the kindle heavy lighting is one issue on which am still working this is long review but have one more thing like to share years ago purchased small book holder called book gem UNK com or amazon com this lovely little device really helped me to hold book when had bad UNK tunnel UNK mention this because it works even better with the kindle than it did with regular book it has UNK that will hold book or the kindle UNK on table or on my lap so can read hands free ve even been lazy enough to put my kindle in it sideways so could lay on my side with my head on my pillow and still read recommend purchasing one of these handy little devices that fit in your purse or pocket or briefcase right along with your kindle also recommend purchasing cover though think they are somewhat expensive my husband purchased cover for my gift and am very grateful that didn have to worry about it it protects the screen very well the cover with the light built it might take care of the problem of lighting the device at night mine doesn have the light 1 just about perfect UNK writing from my new kindle it been greatly improved it even lighter than before much much smaller and the page turn buttons don make that annoying UNK sound anymore the UNK UNK has been greatly improved clearly the kindle UNK pretty cool to amazing the contrast is fantastic and the page turns speed has blown my mind it that fast there only two flaws the button layout it actually quite nice having the page buttons the same on either side but the menu home and back buttons are so close together that keep hitting one or the other and having to UNK whatever was attempting to accomplish it becoming quite annoying where did the joystick go only had my kindle for couple of weeks then came out so sent back but in those two weeks got quite attached to the little joystick keeps making mistakes UNK it know only said there were two problems but now as writing realize that typing on this bad boy is quite difficult although highly doubt most smart people would attempt to type out whole review on this thing also the and the are in UNK spot so keep hitting the instead of the but aside from those stupid UNK this is an amazing product which highly reccommend you buy 1 just about perfect UNK writing from my new kindle it

wifi kindle yesterday at target got it at target so wouldn have to wait till the end of the month to get it been saving for this all summer and am so glad did already had an ipod touch with the kindle app and the books app both apps were ok but they were unusable in bright sunlight because of the glare and they hurt your eyes after while of reading in the dark am very happy the ink display even if it takes half second to refresh also love how simple the kindle is when first took it out of the frustration free packaging no UNK UNK it gave me directions right on the screen on how to get started there was no need for an instruction UNK because it walked me right through it also the menu is very easy to get around and the keyboard is great there are whole bunch of font sizes from 300 words on page to just on page but its still very very simple the pdf reader is an awesome feature for the kindle my church puts their UNK in pdf format on their website couple of days before sunday so last night downloaded this week UNK on to my computer and put it on my kindle then this morning used my kindle to follow along in the service sure will also be using my kindle to read pdf music anyway so far have had no problems with my kindle and have been enjoying lot of the free books and the lock screen pictures also love the 99 new york times best sellers the kindle also comes with the new oxford american dictionary the oxford dictionary of english and web browser that allows access to wikipedia would definitely recommend the kindle to anyone and do think that at least for me the 3g is worth it mainly because travel lot and there is no monthly fee would like to thank amazon for another great kindle and for making it so inexpensive 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi display latest generation love this kindle it so nice being able to pack this small device rather than bulky books this is worth every penny 1 love my kindle have the kindle looked at it for year before took the big step am so glad finally got it have case that holds my id credit cards kindle charger screen UNK and my kindle and never leave home without it live for dr waiting rooms just so can read even bought the UNK cover so can read in the pool have been playing with the idea of getting one for my daughters but think will keep my kindle and give them the new one the free books are an added plus its not the apple thing but if you love books and like learning new words and having easy access to the internet links this is the perfect thing for you have been able to download books from UNK have been only wish had more time to read thank you amazon 0 returned after less than week like many people was extremely excited about the arrival of my new kindle and ready for the switch to books debated for days about which version color and case to get and read the UNK UNK on all kinds of kindle topics while waiting upon getting the kindle couldn have been more eager to get it out of the book upon opening the device is definitely impressive sleek cool light was pleased went with the white one as it looked great against the apple green case also bought plugged it in to charge let it do so and then was off however upon reading the welcome message and kindle user guide on the device quickly came to realize that the screen seemed UNK dark very gray not at all like it is UNK with crisp white screen on the kindle purchase page tried it in several different spots throughout the house as well as outside to get it into different lights but this was to no avail the black text was dark and crisp but the back was so gray it was distracting and after awhile hurt my eyes maybe it is worth UNK am 25 years old with near perfect vision still unsure tried reading few samples on the device not yet sure if wanted to buy whole book could hardly make it through the samples as again the gray background to the black text killed my eyes called customer service and they were very nice they sent me another device UNK on one day shipping at no cost to me to compare thinking maybe my device was defective this was greatly appreciated and again can not say enough good things about my experience with cs unfortunately the screen was just as gray and just as tough on my eyes have UNK the discussion UNK on kindle and have yet to see another person especially as young as myself who felt the device was hard to read on am jealous millions of people are finding it so enjoyable more so than anyone was excited to switch to reading on kindle but just couldn keep the device despite how cool and convenient for buying books it was because it UNK my ability to do the very thing was trying to do read everything about this device is great quick speed of downloading books one click buying portability the way the device looks and feels in your hand UNK seriously over sending it back because the dictionary feature was so great however as said sent both of the kindles back with heavy heart will try again with the next version whenever that will be hopefully they can improve the UNK and make the screen more white UNK back to paperbacks 1 no regrets from the time saw it on oprah thought the kindle was one of those things that was cool but that certainly didn need fast forward to week ago when my kindle arrived and let me say how happy am with the decision to get the latest version of the kindle love having books around but space has become an issue and with the kindle can keep my books forever without having to get rid of books to make room for new books the pile of books in my UNK room of books want to read will become thing of my past love being able to UNK into bed and not having to UNK myself to turn the page know that sounds ridiculous but the kindle is pretty darn cool in that regard the skin that purchased is called tree of books and it UNK my UNK UNK world of being the girl sitting under the UNK UNK tree reading her book in the dog days of summer and makes me UNK each time reach down to pick up my new kindle add how compact the kindle is and how easy it is to grab when grab my phone and you have match made in heaven probably still don need kindle but with the great price these days along with my amazon com UNK have no regrets about my purchase and so happy to say that find myself making the time to be reading more 1 new to ereading and love it but it quite as UNK have really enjoyed reading on my new kindle wifi however it not like book the screen does look much like paper but the gray background is not as nice as the crisp white or different shades of actual books it is not so great in dim light but great in sunlight so you might have to turn on light to read in front of the tv at night outside its great the book has less UNK and no bright cover and individual font choices there are no pages for people in book clubs and classes to compare passages and be on the same page there are ways to UNK with other kindle readers but if you were in book club with people with kindles and actual books or classroom miss saying loved that passage on page UNK that said can adjust the font and there are many things are better about ebooks than real books have neck problems so holding large and even not so large books was problem its lighter than most books and very portable so reading is much easier have not been overly careful with it wanted something could lug around like books and so far not UNK love downloading books instantly and all the free classics that are available some things are not so impressive the battery is quite good just not quite what it UNK to be was doing lot of reading this last week and the battery lasted week did not have the wifi on too much but do use it to search for books synch and occasionally use the browser was under the impression it would last longer however it still pretty impressive that reading or hours day didn think about the battery until about the day this is my first charge so it not yet at full capacity so in truth it not bad the worst part is the menu find it clumsy am good with gadgets and menus so figured it out quickly don know everyone would putting the browser under experimental is strange choice in my mind having to go back to home to use some menu functions is clumsy the browser is usable but iffy so putting it under experimental is perhaps justified the navigation tool and letters bit small numbers awkward but it keeps it small wikipedia can only be found by UNK the browser there are not enough instructions for something so UNK it should be very intuitive it isn yet once learned easy enough the keyboard is ok but not great but is good enough for searches not great for real typing if you like to add notes which don you can read in the UNK that said it very light very easy to one the eyes not too expensive and books are UNK and there are most of the classic are available free reading newspapers is easier in terms of mess and size but you miss the photos you get different ones they show well enough for black and white as nyt photos are not great anyway the style section and some others do suffer greatly wouldn like most magazines in this format will probably UNK paper delivery of the ny times soon if can still use the nytimes on the internet and search the archives not having books all over the house is great feature so it pleasure not to have my books collection growing every week sad that have to loan out my kindle when my husband does want to read an ebook read which does not that often if lived near someone with the same taste in books and who read as much as me might go back to sharing physical books think you have to think about how you read and what you expect from it it not sexy looking like the ipad but it really is much easier than reading on UNK lit screen and saves your eyesight and much lighter and more portable it UNK too recommend case for carrying but have dropped it used sticky UNK hands to pick it up and it still fine so love it just am not quite as UNK as expected happier in some ways than expected as they lack of eyestrain and comfort is really nice am reading more and enjoying it more it different never thought want an ereader or such limited gadget but it really no different that ipod for music itunes are not UNK but very convenient and UNK and space saving and portable UNK were cool changes in technology UNK UNK and UNK like that can synch and read on my iphone if really need to read in the dark or don want to carry it but feel like reading few pages carry it around just like did with books so for me it really been fun affordable light easy on eye strain and battery is quite good dull looking big awkward to navigate and miss bright covers love clutter reduction lack of neck strain and easy of downloading and access to free books love it more and less than expected though 1 excellent fit for purpose recieved my kindle on the day stated it would arrive once connected to my wifi the kindle UNK downloaded books and was reading in seconds after each download great how it remembers each page last read in book and the easy reference links to the dictionary which came with the kindle have added map pdf through the usb link for quick UNK map display while UNK it size and weight is good to put in day pack or large pocket the beta format web browser is also good if little slow all in all worthy purchase 1 great but needs faster browser just got my kindle and already im in love with it thats how awesome it is im currently using its web browser now and could honestly say it needs faster one also facebook keeps freezing up and keep have to shut off my kindle and restarting it 1 kindle is awesome am so glad over UNK myself and went ahead and bought the kindle between it being much lower in price 139 for the wi fi only and something that is small enough to be comfortable but large enough to be seen it is awesome love it 1 love love love my kindle gave my husband who travels lot kindle and he loved it then he gave me one and absolutely love mine have found myself reading more as it is so easy to carry anywhere and pick whatever am in the mood to read finding books on the kindle website is so much easier than in bookstore now am purchasing one for my UNK daughter an avid reader could not be happier and being that it is from amazon is just an added bonus will buy anything first on amazon as so appreciate the ease at which it is done and the prime shipping is awesome 1 love it just got back from two week vacation in UNK and it was the first opportunity had to use my brand new kindle loaded up lots of book both free and paid can imagine what the real weight and bulk of these books would have been read about three books during the two weeks and did so in bright sun no glare so user friendly must have for travelers my husband has one too which he is enjoying also he travels on the UNK to work each day and would pick out books that weren too heavy in fact bought him book that turned out to be over 600 pages too big for the train bought it for him for his kindle and he read it on the train each day what terrific product of course we both highly recommend it 1 review on 3g wi fi display latest generation kindle recieved my kindle as gift for my birthday could not have been more excited so far absolutely love my kindle the screen is incredible its so clear and easy on the eyes ive had the chance to play with my kindle for the past three days and so far have had full charge the entire time never shut off my kindle just put it to sleep so was very pleased the internet is little slow but didn ask for kindle just so could play around on the internet asked for kindle so could read and enjoy all of my favorite books so for all you people UNK the kindle because you dont like the internet on it then here is an idea how about you go spend 400 on device such as the ipad that has poor quality ereading and enjoy that the 3g in my opinion works really well have been able to shop the kindle store right on my device so far have successfully loaded around 70 books right onto my device this is UNK an amazing device for people who love to read or would like to get back into the UNK of reading more often you can also give books to UNK kindle users if you choose which is another great feature everything about the kindle just keeps getting better and better hope this review helps for anyone looking into getting kindle amazon has really out done themselves once again 1 great product the kindle is very readable device much much cheaper than an ipad UNK the web downloads books almost instantaneously no glare on the screen it even lighter than an actual book if you re looking for reader only then this is what you re looking for you can UNK to magazines and newspapers also my kindle is 3g wifi no charge for downloads or surfing hopefully one day they will convert textbooks into kindle form keep the kids form carrying big heavy books around great product 1 third time charm having had now all three kindles this version is well worth the initial purchase or upgrade the greater 50 better contrast makes huge difference and the overall UNK is noticeable also had an ipad at one point my thoughts being could have one multimedia device and replace the kindle this was ill UNK as the ipad was practically worthless for reading novels for periods longer than 20 minutes the backlighting and glare created eyestrain that forced me to take UNK breaks say if this is your first kindle the time is now if you are considering an upgrade and you read more than couple novels month say the price was well worth it enjoy 1 kindle has arrived just received my first kindle ever yesterday and ve been playing around with it really love it and it was worth the wait still UNK it and making sure everything is ok with it and that things run smoothly ll be back later to review again with an update 1 needs simple UNK the device is great for UNK could be better if they had simple text program that you could UNK some notes while on the subway so you didn have to use piece of paper to UNK all of your thoughts for some simple writing something like UNK would so helpful 1 awesome ereader has few UNK am new reader that being said the ink display is amazing can say enough good things about it could they do it in color would update in heart beat the kindle is pretty easy to work with pretty self UNK the down side to it is that you really can organize your collection the books are just on there if you put 100 or 1000 books on here you either search through them or scroll through them to find you book they need to add folder system so you can file by genre or UNK or your preference that is my one UNK which has probably been said before 1 love it previously had kindle first generation which was great and am thoroughly amazed at the new kindle faster downloads better lasting memory great wi fi connection and the contrast is fantastic could probably have continued using kindle but decided to give it to my dad and buy the new one when the price of 139 was announced can live without my kindle it amazing 1 kindle worth the wait love my new kindle am voracious reader as well as free UNK writer have been interested in purchasing an book reader for some time checked out several options and talked to UNK who had purchased the nook as well as the kindle and made my decision to purchase kindle for my birthday the first part of august then heard about the kindle coming out the end of the month opted to wait and am glad did the kindle has twice as much storage as the kindle its lighter and UNK easily into my purse with both wi fi and 3g can take it anywhere the kindle daily UNK keep me UNK of what is current and UNK in the reading world giving me UNK into my UNK the number of free books available is UNK this will be valuable tool for research purposes if had one complaint it would be the lack of numbers on the keyboard if you are looking for an reader do the research you will find like did that the kindle is the best bargain out there and well worth the wait 1 it great this is our first kindle was pleasantly surprised at how easy to use it is especially the process of downloading books via 3g especially like the free out of copyright titles that are available reading this so far is real pleasure actually enjoy it more than holding real books in my hands it not by any means laptop replacement but it wasn designed for that compared to the kindle the new design is much sleeker and more modern looking the only drawbacks so far are lack of organization in the books folder it is at least possible to create your own collections and organize that way but if you rely on the kindle built in features you can only sort by author title and most recent amazon should also give it the ability to sort by categories date originally published etc haven tried this yet but the instructions say that to load your own documents word etc you have to go through amazon which will UNK it and then charge small fee would like to be able to load word files without going through this process at least pdf are supposed to work without having to do this the kindle needs to have the ability to read the pub format this could be larger drawback as time goes on and more books and articles are available in that format expected this so didn lower the rating despite my disappointment but you might as well be using an etch sketch when using the internet it actually pretty decent for just reading internet articles but really wanted to be able to check my email and it just doesn seem to work for that log in to my email but then it UNK me out whenever try to open or UNK emails this has happened with gmail and my other accounts in all UNK amazon says it is experimental but it would be nice if the kindle browser was just little more compatible with these programs because being able to check your email anywhere for free would be great bonus in sum it great device for reading with limited capabilities in other areas 1 instantly won over was waiting for price drop in an reader before gave them try was UNK to the kindle based on the library of available books have been happily surprised to find the library growing even more found book that wasn in kindle edition and two weeks later kindle edition was available the device itself is easy to use and you soon forget you have an reader as you just get into the reading page turns are crisp and quick the only thing might ask for is page number indication ok with percentage completed but hey nothing is perfect books are easy to locate and are delivered in less than minute really haven tried many other functions such as document conversion or pdf viewing especially not web browsing this does one thing exceptionally well that is all wanted 1 fantastic reader from amazon was very hesitant about purchasing this reader as already had the k2 and liked it lot however finally gave in bought the latest generation with wifi and and am not sorry at all the increased clarity of the screen is so much better for my eyes the UNK size of the actual device so much easier to hold the battery life is longer than the k2 and love having the wifi option especially when travel also like the increased storage capacity and the design of this new model had already done the research with comparison study of the most popular readers out such as the nook and the sony but the kindle by far UNK them not only with the features of this latest generation but also with the amazon UNK and their customer service which is awesome and user friendly think amazon has done an amazing job in developing this latest generation kindle realize that there have been few problems with some of the devices but as with any new product it takes while to UNK out the bugs mine has been great no problems at all also purchased the amazon cover with the light which absolutely love even with this lighted cover it seems lot lighter than the k2 with the edge UNK light all in all gave this five star because honestly cannot think of any substantial negatives 1 she loving it bought the kindle for my wife and she is loving it more and more guess ll be UNK for while she UNK about how great it is to be able to take it with her anywhere she goes without the UNK of regular book thanks kindle for great product 0 coverage map out UNK live in rural australia the coverage map said was in reception area for 3g but that map is wrong am now told well UNK me 1 best product on the web this year years ago it was itouch then UNK now kindle too many positive things to put into words spectacular product that will UNK reading and eventually UNK out the paper book newspaper magazine text books and library as they are today 1 best thing since sliced bread we love our kindle been over weeks and no need to charge we enjoyed it on cruise and no problems whatsoever easy to use easy to read it our new friend on trips everyone asks me why didn just get an ipad said because just wanted something to read books wanted something can read without the worry of glare didn want to be charging my device every other day and didn want to spend over 500 the new kindle is perfect if all you want to do is read book 1 no longer broken UNK kindle lover this is not review telling you the kindle device is bad far from it the kindle is easily the best ebook reader ve used kindle sony nook being the others this review is to tell you to be wary of digital rights UNK to be aware that the book you buy in good UNK today might be taken away tomorrow allow me to explain in 2008 purchased copy of UNK UNK gem the city and the stars for my 1st kindle recently sold my original kindle bought new kindle and started re downloading my old titles imagine how felt when this title wouldn download upon UNK amazon it seems the publisher has pulled the item from sale in the us therefore even though bought and paid for it can have it on my new device they have my money for this item bought it fairly and now they have UNK it to me amazon says this is because the publisher will no longer issue UNK for this title to us customers had backed up my original kindle titles when got the new one so do have the file but it won work on my new device because of the drm this is incredibly UNK not really amazon fault but the UNK of the kindle device is destroyed if publisher can do this to you imagine an extreme case in which most of your purchased titles were no longer available after you decided to upgrade your device have never UNK much about drm issues always figured if bought from big name like amazon my purchases would always be safe this was before the UNK UNK but now see that the UNK out there have UNK point and it one urge you to consider before buying this or any ebook device and it really hurts me to say that because believer addendum as amazon has taken steps to UNK this situation am UNK my rating 2nd addendum was contacted by amazon informed of an initial UNK of my troubles but now corrected and am able finally to download the book again so happy day in light of this will consider my original low star ratings UNK and make change thanks amazon 1 kindle is extraordinary had my eye on the k3 as soon as saw the UNK over the summer have k1 and was so pleased with it when got it over years ago it fantastic durable and functional reader when the k2 came out was tempted but not enough to spend the money on it but the k3 in the graphite caught my eye and ve been staring ever since until today that is was walking through target and there on display was the graphite k3 UNK it was calling my name and answered they only had the wi fi only ones left so that what got am amazed at the visual quality of the new ink it incredible how much of difference between the k1 and k3 the k1 thought was great but the k3 is outstanding the black is blacker and the background is much lighter compared to the k1 it much easier on the eyes my k1 looks like faded old newspaper compared to the k3 love the graphite frame it seems to contrast much better than the white frame love the placement and ease of the key pad do love the roller ball on the k1 it ll take some getting used to using the arrow buttons but the on off switch is much more convenient on the bottom than on the back like the k1 also like the fact that you don have to hit the alt and aa buttons to turn off the screen saver the pages seem to turn much faster and smoother it obviously much smaller and lighter do like the weight of the k1 like that it feels like the weight of dead tree book but ll get used to the k3 ve only had my new k3 for couple of hours but it enough to tell you that love it and so happy with it 1 just the UNK this is my first ereader and it is everything had hoped for am UNK UNK and like to read novels and other books this device is just great if you are multi UNK UNK can read one book at home another at the office and have the study book with me for men discussion it is slick and fast got the wi fi and 3g model don even mind going to the UNK with my wife because have this baby and all kinds of reading materials even mags and papers wow keep thinking of more titles like to add to my library and to think that next time move there will be no new boxes of books to lose track of and UNK around the country just my handy little kindle was sold on the 2nd generation model and had to wait for this 3rd generation model to get here but don care love it it even UNK with my laptop desktop at home and desktop at the office fantastic 1 awesome reader just received my kindle wifi today and have used it for about an hour that isn long so may update this review after spending more time using the kindle right out of the box love it it was so easy to connect to my home wifi and to download my books can get over how quickly the books downloaded each one took mere seconds far less than the minute amazon claims it would take though am sure my connection helps with this am so impressed with how easy the kindle is to use very intuitive reading feels very natural the text is quite crisp and easy on my eyes the size of the kindle is so nice and small and lightweight can figure out how to view book covers though not that it is essential but would like to be able to do that sure will figure it out if you are thinking about buying an reader highly recommend this kindle update have had the kindle for while now and it is dream come true for me have read book every other day since owning this device that is far and beyond how much was reading before the ink technology is incredible better than any paperback have seen really appreciate that can increase the size of the font as after hours of reading my eyes start to get tired and increasing the font lets me continue reading with no fatigue love the size of the kindle it is so light in my hand read lot at night next to my sleeping husband using the lighted cover and read lot so am not getting month out of charge more like week still am very pleased with the battery life considering how much use the kindle and the drain that the lighted cover gives to the battery the letters on the keys of the graphite version seem to be wearing off where used my UNK to click the buttons which did due to their being so small now try to always just use my finger but feel like am going to click something else due to how close together the buttons are that is the only UNK have about the design really can recommend the kindle highly enough 1 kindle 3g she loves it she loves it she loves it now she loves me more best gadget for your woman operation friendly low UNK and UNK 1 brilliant first experience of an ebook reader my first experience with any ebook reader and UNK addicted brilliant sync between pc ipod kindle only gripe is the free kindle books are not available outside usa but ve found the work around for that 1 UNK dream my wife and are full time UNK and avid readers this has solved the book storage problem and the late night reading problem as it works well with our led lighting with both wi fi and 3g there is easy access to new books 1 just received today love it received an email from amazon one week ago that my kindle was being prepared for shipment and would receive it soon it arrived today in the mail in perfect condition after opening the package plugged it in so it could get full charge it states you can use it while charging it but let it charge alone while doing other things around the house checked few hours later and it had full charge we have wireless router in our home and the kindle connected to it with no problems at all the signal strength UNK depending on where am in my home but it does stay connected and can browse for new stuff with no problems your kindle is linked to your amazon com account which makes purchasing books quick and almost effortless after purchasing one book directly from the kindle then used my laptop to browse the free books downloaded UNK of books back to back each book was transferred to my kindle lightning fast reading on the kindle is easy on the eyes the clarity on the screen is awesome think the kindle has little weight to it but not that much love the slim design as well plan on buying case to store it in so far can think of nothing negative to say about the new kindle it is my first kindle so have no experience with previous models did take look at the nook while deciding whether to purchase that or the kindle am glad went with the kindle it so much better if any problems develop during my use of the kindle ll be sure to update this review to show that placed my order the middle of august and it is not the middle of september so it took month to receive it was in no hurry and knew it be here eventually if you are planning to purchase this as gift for someone for christmas purchase this now so you ll have it by the time christmas is here 0 what service after weeks of waiting for this item to be delivered discover it has not even been shipped yet it looks like the nook is more attractive simply because can run down to the book store and get one it is impossible to read book on device that will not be shipped to you further upon follow up there is no phone number or UNK except to cancel the item am really glad paid for the UNK shipping the service from the store has been very poor if there are going to be delays in shipping the item perhaps and email explanation 1 best reader ve ever had and also my first find read lot and with much greater ease and comfort it even helps me understand better because of it 1 wonderful have had my new kindle wi fi for three days and love it the smaller size dark case color and better ink screen make it sort of disappear when reading which is exactly what want in reading device and unlike my kindle can actually UNK up signal for syncs and downloads at home rural no cell service here heck we don even have cable on this road but we do have high speed internet my battery life may not be as good as advertised but have been pushing it to find all the wi fi wherever my travels take me in day for example and have not tested it long love my kindle and it is perfect for my son to read while he is on UNK with only one hand available for several hours which makes reading print books so hard living in rural UNK with no cell phone coverage it was annoying to not be able to download books evenings and UNK but the new kindle solves that running on the wi fi we have in the house now amazon give us the ability to put our own screen savers in UNK UNK UNK is UNK into my brain 1 love the kindle the kindle is great for many reasons saves tons of shelf space many books are available for free or at very reasonable prices built in dictionary easy to read books are available to read very quickly it is easy to make annotations and highlights something that wasn worth the effort to me until got the kindle many new authors self publish on kindle have found several new names that have written excellent stories and made them available at good price only have major complaints some books are not discounted nearly enough compared to the hard cover price one book saw only costs about 50 more for the hard back edition the publisher will have hard time UNK me that printing and shipping hard cover book to book store only costs 50 work in information technology and know that saving data electronically costs money however you only need to save couple of copies and by the time you break down the costs involved and spread them among the thousands of people that buy typical book you are looking at less than penny per customer for example 350 kindle dx holds about 3500 books do the UNK and you ll see that it works out to about 10 cents per book to store them on the kindle speaking from actual experience can say that the actual cost in data center is easily less than 100 times this much about 10 have problem with pressing the page turn buttons accidentally not sure how to fix this and honestly it might just be my own UNK 1 concerned at first but now satisfied like most people was really looking forward to getting this product pre ordered it over month ago and was UNK for it to arrive when it finally came immediately starting playing around with it and had few minor complaints UNK syncing and library style related but overall was pretty UNK with it unfortunately after few hours it began to act UNK and it was taking long time to respond to UNK press menu and it would take 30 seconds to come up little while UNK the screen just went gray looked up the troubleshooting UNK in the UNK guide but all ve managed to accomplish is making it flicker for second or two pretty UNK and will be returning it this week 10 10 update ok so apparently was UNK in writing my review and so am taking the opportunity to update it as UNK commented think there is period where the kindle acts quirky when it is not fully charged after leaving it plugged into wall UNK overnight the issues had have all been corrected and am happy overall with the product 0 not happy what is going on ordered the kindle on sept 22 with day delivery for my UNK and here it is sunday sept 26 and it had yet arrived look on the web and it says it is due to arrive on sept 29 this is completely unacceptable asked for two day shipping and am getting UNK day shipping what the hell kind of business are you running when you UNK some kind of service you should deliver that service or UNK for your UNK would be held UNK for UNK at work are you 0 not an improvement over gen the on off switch is very easily activated if the kindle is in the normal book cover type protector put it in my purse and it turned itself on just by the normal activity of me reaching for something in my bag this happened several times so it is not UNK this results in the battery wearing down very quickly the earlier gen machine was much better in this regard except for the smaller size this is definitely not an improvement if you can get your hands on gen machine still would do it sorry bought this 1 much better than expected ve been thinking of getting kindle for quite some time and the UNK of the k3 seemed to be good time to pull the trigger finally the k3 UNK placed the kindle wifi at around usd 140 add around us UNK to this for import UNK and shipping it was just over 200 and seemed like great deal to me amazon got the device to me around week before their shipping estimate and that saved lot of waiting the packaging was good and even someone as clumsy as me did not have to struggle too much to open it have now been using this device for couple of weeks and it has exceeded my expectations the reading is experience is similar to reading physical paper book if you consider the ability to search quickly would say that it is actually superior to using paper book there are times when you come across the name of character some 200 pages after it was last mentioned you re actually thinking who the hell is he or she with search feature you really don have to struggle also being able to look up word in the dictionary without walking over to my bookshelf is blessing the contrast was pretty good and on the whole have nothing really to complain about the reading experience on the device it very light and can use it easily with one hand while lying down page turns aren too noisy and pages don take ages to turn in fact found it much faster than expected initially the device did freeze couple of times while reading but software update took care of that and haven had it crash UNK shopping on the kindle has been painless and ve really enjoyed browsing the kindle store for books can say much about the browser as have not really used it too much just couple of times for downloading few classics from project gutenberg it felt little sluggish but it did the job wanted it to do if there is one thing dissatisfied about it is the price of kindle books when compared to what we pay for books here consider the fact that in india most paperbacks or hardbacks are much cheaper than the kindle UNK that get from amazon com for instance could buy follett fall of giants paperback for around usd here while if were to buy it for the kindle it costs me usd 12 hoping that this gap UNK down over time for the sheer convenience of an electronic book you don really mind paying premium but having to pay almost double seems to be bit UNK 1 excellent but the kindle reader is an outstanding product but trying to load the books wanted had an UNK surprise the books are available but not for UNK planned to load the UNK novels by UNK UNK and UNK child all not available for UNK that is UNK and UNK UNK 1 wow first kindle received my kindle two days ago waited almost month and have to admit was ready to hate it because of the long wait well not only do love my new kindle but can honestly say it was well worth the wait ordered the kindle so that could have something to read during boring meetings at work thought flat electronic device would be easier to UNK than book especially since bought little case with it that makes it look like notebook honestly did not believe anything could replace the feel and smell of book in my hand did not think was going to use the kindle for much more than the weekly two hour meetings we have to UNK boy was wrong have already finished two books on it read the quick guide and followed the few steps to setting up the kindle the rest was quite intuitive everything worked as expected and some things were better than expected the 3g network is very fast and efficient and the browser actually works quite well books download quickly as do the periodicals read am extremely pleased and can see this replacing books in my life 1 no international characters in the keyboard as much as love my kindle there are no international characters in the sym menu of the keyboard thus making impossible to take notes in my own language am writing everything in english to avoid the problem but expect this to be fixed in software updates just as much as expect better mp3 player by the way am confident that there will be software updates amazon you will follow your customers and make them feel confident in slow product UNK will you 1 kindle ipad as an ereader had the kindle then sold it when purchased the ipad while the ipad good multi functional ereader its hard to carry it around easily without carrying UNK carrying case and then when do carry it around always worried about leaving it in my car on my desk etc UNK it ll get stolen so it ends up UNK to me when put in public the ipad also isn great for extended reading sessions the size weight wears on you after some time and ended up UNK it on pillow or my UNK to read there is no good one handed reading hold for the ipad unless you have UNK hands eye fatigue wasn an issue for me on the ipad but glare in direct sunlight was always missed my kindle as and ereader but the other functions of the ipad made me accept it as my UNK reader then the kindle came out with it 139 price point and decided return to the fold still use the ipad at home in bed on the couch reading in the dark but for my carry around serious reading device using the kindle eink can be beat imo also amazon book selection prices whisper sync between all my devices ease of ebook library management is just icing on the ereader cake 1 switched from nook and sony to kindle have had sony pocket reader UNK and nook wifi UNK for while and bought kindle recently to try it out was so impressed with kindle that my nook and sony were on ebay the same day for sale let me give you brief UNK between kindle with nook and sony readers kindle eink is far more advanced has lot better contrast and faster refresh rate that nook and sony pocket reader the black color is really rich black on kindle it makes lot of difference when you read kindle has lot of useful features like more font sizes line spacing options word spacing options these options are either missing or limited on sony and nook there are no line spacing options and word spacing options on nook and sony ergonomic design is much much better on kindle than nook sony is good to some extent but not on par with kindle the menus and placement of various options are excellent on kindle nooks touchscreen was okay but still feels sluggish when you compare it with hard button response on kindle kindle does not support epub as the other readers do and most of the websites offer UNK non drm ed you could convert epub format to kindle specific format like mobi or pdf using free software like calibre would appreciate if amazon adds epub support but would have to live with conversion software for now kindle does not support lending books like nook honestly dont know anyone else that bought nook so never tried lending the number of books you could lend are extremely limited on nook so its not deal breaker on kindle nook is android based device that was one of the reasons bought it in first place but soon found that there is not much you could do by UNK it other than playing UNK internet radio believe me you would not want to play UNK considering the battery life of nook having radio or mp3 player on ebook reader is kind of distraction from my perspective kindle has mp3 player will probably never use that feature sony pocket reader is basic ereader with no mp3 or audio book options so am not going to include it in my comparison kindle has nice games like scrabble and UNK that word am addicted to both games nook as UNK and UNK but the UNK of touchscreen makes playing those UNK would rather not have sony did not have any games pdf support on all readers is not up to mark you can zoom in or zoom out of pdf pages am still waiting for decent pdf reader with ink sony was better among the in pdf support am not going to UNK much deeper into the physical aspects of readers nook has good looks but heavier of all sony has solid UNK build but looks okay kindle has white graphite plastic body and looks are not its UNK its functionality is its UNK 10 nook has user replaceable battery sony and kindle has UNK battery and you would have to send them to UNK in case your battery dies looking at the current UNK in gadgets would be happy if the battery lasts for years and then there would be new device to buy rather than replacing the battery on the old one am happy with finally UNK kindle your needs may be different so listed all my observations to help you make UNK choice 1 love new kindle this is better than the kindle as it is lighter slimmer smaller faster and ever easier to use have the wifi version if you intend on UNK the mind reading UNK knowledge and the like this model will more than UNK if you are the want it all type in your kindle then suggest the kindle however as am overseas and in the states back and forth make sure to get my books UNK or whenever have wifi access on my laptop and then go ahead and download and then transfer from pc to kindle this way works better nevertheless as pc provides quicker and more convenient access to the web not to mention bigger screen 3g is unnecessary if you have frequent wifi access hope that helps 1 can believe didn buy one sooner up until few months ago honestly really didn see the appeal of an reader like my real books like my library with full bookshelves and love to read in the UNK but then started traveling lot which meant was reading more and more and having to carry books around with me everywhere and started to think about trying an reader wasn convinced until UNK around with friend nook which impressed me but then the new kindle was released and it just seemed better better screen contrast better page refresh rate found the color touchscreen on the nook somewhat distracting others find the keyboard on the kindle to be small but have had no problems with it despite having large hands you really don type that much with it or at least don spent lot of time trying to figure out which was the best option for me and finally decided on the kindle all can say is that it was love at first sight immediately downloaded ton of classics some of them ve been meaning to read some of them have read and can wait to read again but best of all they were all free besides the kindle store on amazon you can get free books for the kindle from variety of other websites seriously it paid for itself in the number of free books have already put on it while touchscreen would be nice to me the navigation is very easy love the size it fits perfectly in my hands and in UNK size UNK for when in the UNK plan to buy an actual UNK case but really the UNK is pretty good alternative so far purchased the wifi only version and it picked up and connected to my network without hitch the screen is so clear and easy to read from never realized how awesome this ink technology is am huge kindle fan and total reader convert really can recommend it highly enough 1 newest kindle UNK interest in reading what great new product the kindle has taken reading to new level before got the kindle was using kindle for ipod which how built up my library now with the kindle am able to read the classics at will and can also enjoy some of my favorite authors on much larger screen the kindle is light to hold and the screen is wonderful wish the navigation buttons were little larger but this is an reader not computer accessing wifi makes ordering books very easy really like the ability to see books in series to decide which book want to read first it fun just reading the book UNK 1 love it sorry am not into all the technical UNK and info for me ordered and it arrived on time love it it works just as promised and getting books almost instantly is so cool it is such an easy process recommended 1 godsend for someone with poor vision due to UNK issue my UNK has UNK over the years from my early UNK UNK loved to read bought the red cover UNK of the UNK book not long after it was offered still have it some 30 or 40 years later love to read but my eyes now jump around that more and more ve not been able to read the font is just to small so as read reviews of the kindle wondered if it might help someone with poor vision worse it had to help someone with UNK ability to see early in the morning my vision is less of problem but as tire and stress increases throughout the day my vision UNK my eyes are fine my control of them UNK enter the ability to change the font size of whatever am reading can read again the high contrast of the kindle is wonderful my eyes will tire but can adjust my reading material to match my changing needs had about given up on ever being able to enjoy reading before go to sleep this is wonderful you might wonder why did not purchase the larger kindle the larger model would be harder for me to hold as tire the added size as well as the weight would tend to make it harder to use at the very time need more control of what hold so chose smaller size that would feel more like paperback rather than large hardback book purchased the kindle wifi why not the 3g version well can almost always find free wifi hotspot if traveling there are hotels bookstores UNK coffee shops etc it snap to find one and then download new book while at home my own wifi network is faster than 3g network one problem which will work through is that my kindle did not want to connect with my network with security enabled suspect the password was too long and or complex for the kindle will work through that but it the type of issue you sometimes encounter with technology but overall am very pleased this has UNK the joy of reading to me again 1 can stop reading this is my first kindle and love it am so happy purchased this and it is such great price like it much better than the previous version which family member has just the minor changes that have been made to this new model makes huge difference 1 one of the greatest innovations of the 21st century where do begin turned the thing on UNK through the manual for about half an hour and was instantly UNK by its sheer technological savvy the layout is simple and easy to learn for anyone who UNK with computers once connected to wifi network the kindle functions as decent web browser as well as direct link to amazon the kindle store is vast and capable of satisfying almost any reader demands can see no design flaws and it feels perfect in your hands this is the reader our kids will learn to read on can already tell going to rarely put it down the small price you pay for this clever little device UNK the very real potential for self UNK UNK in any subject to any degree of UNK who needs college when we ve got kindle satisfied customer UNK UNK 1 kindle for the college student knew wanted kindle when went overseas for weeks and took books with me to read when got back immediately placed an order for the new kindle 3g with wifi started reading reviews and was honestly very nervous about people saying the kindle would arrive broken damaged etc etc however when the kindle arrived opened him up and the fun began it has been little more than two weeks now and have charged my kindle once the battery life is fantastic but does UNK lot faster if using the built in light in the case understandable but needs to be said immediately started putting books on my kindle and started to find that textbooks were available to download onto the kindle being classics grad student have lot of references resources and textbooks with background readings to carry around currently have books that need for class on my kindle along with multiple pdf readings that need to use in class this not only saves my back from carrying all that weight in my backpack but also saves UNK and trees so don have to print out pdfs not to mention that can add notes and highlights to my pdfs as well as my text books with easy to access references if need them for paper or UNK am completely sold on this product it is great for students especially those that have to read ton per week and can fit easily in my purse or my backpack can take it to the beach no glare and read there without carrying ton of books in my beach bag overall this is must have if you have lot of reading to do for pleasure or school 1 terrific pocket book reader put this little gem in your bag and away you go with book at hand at any time perfect size 1 very happy and stuff am very very happy with my kindle wi fi 3g it the first real toy ve had in long time my kindle has even already paid for itself by how many free ebooks downloaded compared to what would have had to spend to get those books in paper and for an added bonus get free internet UNK ve been testing my kindle capabilities because would like to get the most out of my kindle and its internet capabilities so the following is based on what ve discovered so far capabilities the screen is amazing and looks just like real paper very easy on the eyes almost no glare won blind someone driving car while you read tried no you do not have to use the way controller to scroll click by click through UNK ebook pages or menus hold the arrow key down and it will scroll faster the buttons for previous and next page also work to navigate UNK mp3s can be played but they play in alphabetical order there is no way to shuffle them speakers UNK the kindle itself speakers work very well though create collections important because everything on your kindle and in your library is displayed on your home and it gets UNK you can gather together and organize your picture folders games UNK books dictionaries text to speech is not quite like having stephen hawking read to you male and female voice choices there needs to be slower speed but you get used to it the top row of the keyboard actually acts numbers and you use alt for alt for and so on alt gives you accessing sym does not disable the keyboard you do not have to click sym on and off as you type while viewing an ebook you can move the cursor in front of word and part of the word definition will be displayed on screen you can press enter to open the dictionary for the full definition UNK things can store and display UNK UNK and UNK you transfer the files by emailing them to your kindle email or you can create two folders on the kindle via usb cable to do so create folder called pictures on the kindle then create at least one folder in pictures and store your pictures there screen size is UNK the folders inside pictures will show up as books on your kindle home free games for kindle two are preloaded on the kindle but hidden UNK alt shift and UNK previous then two can be downloaded from kindle store every word and shuffled UNK this is big deal to me because cell phones don even come with games anymore think my laptop bought in 2008 didn even have games you can email your kindle files to be stored as ebooks but 3g kindles are charged delivery fee if not connected to the internet by wi fi don know why amazon does this anything delivered by your kindle email to your kindle while you are connected to the internet by usb cable or wi fi is free if you start typing while viewing home and ebooks search bar will appear at the bottom of the screen and you can select to search your ebooks kindle store google wikipedia or the dictionary you can also use this bar as UNK by typing an UNK and searching it you can also enter UNK and select go to to open webpage without navigating the menu alt does not bookmark UNK it bookmarks pages in ebooks pdfs while viewing pdf you can zoom in on the pdf this means the font gets bigger this means you can read it easier UNK this because reviewers kept saying there was no way to change the font size viewing pdf is like viewing the internet you can zoom in and out but you have to scroll left right up and down view the text you can add bookmarks notes and highlights you can change the contrast from UNK to UNK no text to speech UNK if you email pdf to kindle by kindle email then this function and changing font size will work internet speed wi fi almost as fast as my laptop not disappointing to me at all 3g almost as fast as internet on my UNK UNK browser capabilities displays the internet in black and white like newspaper print displays almost everything my cell can the UNK usual look the way they do on computer facebook and amazon look the same on the kindle as they do on computer navigating takes some getting use to when page loads box appears and UNK the area of the webpage to zoom in on to zoom further you use the aa key or menu and select zoom in not always satisfied with the zoom it not hard on the eyes but used to scanning UNK so it feels bothersome to scroll left and right as well as up and down no video or flash games flash facebook uses flash for video and games and UNK youtube uses for video are not supported multiple browser windows are not supported kindle will display an error message can download txt azw UNK and mobi to the kindle from the internet by direct link cannot display doc or pdf on the internet not sure about other files but assume no specific websites google maps will work but cannot drag the map you have to use the arrows to navigate the map and it gets UNK because the page will UNK the map after each click gmail gmail will only work on the html version of the site regular gmail will log you out when you try to open an email google voice voice calling does not work texting does work though yahoo UNK yahoo mobile version will work facebook looks the same except videos and flash games do not work the only thing have to say is the internet full of resources that will work on the kindle 3g instead of paying for UNK games more ebooks and many other things search for html or javascript based version on google 1 at this point in history the best reader available the contrast is noticeably better than the kindle appreciate the re UNK of the keys and the smaller profile this being second unit my wife has the kindle with 3g didn mind getting the wifi only version and saving 50 wish the pdf support allowed UNK positioning on zooming but most of what plan to use will be either kindle format or unless heavily graphic converted to mobi it really nice to carry 50 books around in less than the space normally required for one hope the UNK about UNK UNK displays making it into future color kindle are true so that can consider putting pdfs of textbooks on reader without feeling like am losing some information or usability in the process keep up the good work amazon 1 now saving even more trees resisted the switch to an electronic reader for so long because just loved the look and feel of real book but since could read at the age of have developed such collection of books in the last 40 years that may have been UNK on UNK on UNK can compare this latest version to the previous UNK of the kindle but am completely thrilled with what it does it is just like reading book with the advantage of never losing your place due to UNK bookmark or an UNK child or pet love the availability of so many free works of classic literature can now work on my UNK list of books plus re read others for the UNK time plus now won have to pick just one or two books when go on trip can take them all with me and won have to fight with my carry on bag through the narrow UNK of the airport book UNK the only negative things that can say about this is the brief flash of black screen as each new page is loaded this is only for the UNK fraction of second but it took bit of getting accustomed to was able to link it up to my home wi fi network in no time entering my network password took the longest because have several numbers and symbols which can be directly UNK in from the keyboard it might be something they can improve on in the future versions 1 love it if you consider yourself an avid reader you can go wrong with kindle didn know how much use it but use it all the time the only thing can fault is that it doesn have back lighting when it dark so you have to use book light or buy special case that has light attached however be prepared to become addicted to the one click book ordering that amazon offers it could get expensive 0 poor service placed my order on sept 13 and paid 20 00 for one day shipping now see that it won even be shipped for days that is really poor service the kindle could be great but when was buying it as present don really care about the item as much as good service 0 shipping is UNK ordered the kindle on september when it was out of stock the UNK below the picture of the item stated that when the item was in stock it would ship the item is in stock now and it still won ship until monday why someone can place an order today and have it shipped out today ordered it days ago and have to wait until monday for it to ship not satisfied at all the only reason am tempted not to cancel is because am buying it as gift for my mom birthday 1 love my kindle am really enjoying my new kindle it like having bookstore in my home when finish reading book just order new one and within minutes have it the screen is easy to read and the size is great large enough to read but small enough to fit in my purse would definitely recommend it 1 great way to read just finished my first book on my new k3 while the navigation takes bit of getting used to once you are reading the book it really is no different from reading traditional printed book no eye strain even after hours one thing find myself doing is wanting to touch the screen to select items prefer having sharper screen to touchscreen so will learn to live with it 1 very good only chinese character support is not fully functional ordered sony UNK before amazon pre sale kindle once knew kindle has chinese character support returned my sony UNK yesterday got my white kindle it really nice 3g network works well try to put my chinese book inside but they can not show correctly except for pdf version but pdf version doesn allow me select font size check some online help blog other users suggest that sending document to my kindle email and amazon only charge little for that the returned azw file can be viewed without any problem finally found that if you send documents to your id free kindle com it no any charge for convert download and save them in my kindle now can read everything want it really nice product 0 such poor user interface the display itself is great to look at this is the UNK aspect of the paper technology but is not UNK by amazon amazon did make huge UNK to is kindle content both in terms of the its UNK and convenience these are probably the only notable advantages user interface are you kidding never used kindle and kindle ii but the user interface of the kindle iii is so primitive navigation through book is the worst part think it only works for reading novels which you rarely go back and forth to precise locations for UNK or cross checking for text books and references this is UNK they ve got to have touchscreen or if not some kind of UNK you can move the cursor around they also need much better software to handle content navigation frankly kindle navigation goes back to the pre mouse computer age UNK primitive rendering there are other UNK but not nearly as UNK for example don understand why kindle would switch to UNK screen savers after some UNK time think this indicates UNK of their own technology because paper uses the so called UNK technology which allows displaying static page with zero power consumption it offers unique opportunity to have reader that stays put like piece of real paper this is something that ipad simply cannot do because it uses the power consuming lcd display yet amazon UNK this unique opportunity for some useless screen savers would very much prefer the reader to stay on the page reading until change it again this would not be important for people who read novels or bestsellers as they would be constantly moving forward but when you use references or books for study you would find it quite important each time when go back to kindle it would have switched to screensaver and requires me to turn it on again manually if doing this had some utility would be UNK UNK but in the case of paper technology just can help but feeling UNK what waste of good opportunity to really UNK and the stupid screensaver feature is not even user adjustable at least could not find way to do it the bottom line if you just read novels which require very simple navigation turning pages UNK kindle is great if you would like to read anything as reference which needs quick flexible and precise navigation forget it 1 UNK this review is for the 3rd gen kindle to be fair it is my first kindle bought it for my lady as present and she absolutely loves it guys that good news for us she loves to read and she said that it far easier to read kindle than book for me personally it about the same but love the fact that you don have to hold it with hands like book in all to say this is the future of book reading and have feeling that next kindle might have colors coming to me that all it really needs 0 which generation is this kindle amazon list the generation so we can figure out which case to buy bought case and it doesn fit thanks amazon 0 disappointing after all the promises in ads got my kindle today after much UNK due to concerns about UNK books UNK of what we re reading and amazon UNK but was UNK by the 3g and the promise of low eye strain just spent about two hours with it 30 of which was waiting for pages to load first off it feels UNK no it is UNK its UNK in china fyi for those of you who are sick of what china is sending over here also the UNK is really tiny so fat finger people will have problems the big drawback is that the screen is very difficult to read its tiny you can only see parts of it at time if you re in the web browser really bad web browser and really slow 3g even when there are bars and there is zero backlighting the page is darker and has less contrast than typical book page which also makes it hard to read not loving it don know how they can make the claims to high UNK that they have on these ads its UNK primitive UNK not all that it cracked itself up to be seems to me it would have cost about the same to give it little bit of backlighting and make the keys bit larger 1 fabulous device rights management for canadians annoying the paper screen is simply amazing the battery life is phenomenal navigating could be little easier but all in all love my kindle what do not love however are the restrictions placed on canadians was interested in buying several novels but once got to the purchase page found that not allowed to buy the book in canada ridiculous even more ridiculous this even happened with book by canadian author jack UNK newspapers apparently may not show photos in canada you can subscribe to blogs in canada for pity UNK blogs are on the internet available to all UNK 1 extremely happy have read some other reviews that indicated problems with battery life and small keyboard size purchased the kindle to do one thing read books have charged it up one time upon UNK and have gone little over week without issues it is not web browser it is not email twitter or facebook friendly which is why love it if you wish to browse the web twitter your every movement and play endless games on facebook well then get an ipad if you wish to read books this is the device to get have had couple instances where it locked up and rebooted itself but usually when trying to access the internet have yet to have an issue while reading 1 it was scary yes scary is the word would use this would call major purchase so to UNK to reader made my hands UNK would have to give up my books could my spouse and still enjoy reading the same books and sharing the experience how would find what really wanted to read without physically picking it up questions questions what pleasant surprise it is so easy one of the best features is the ability to look for material to read on amazon and find ratings that really helped in my choices this is why am first time UNK for the kindle to help someone else make the choice it is so worth it love every minute of my reading and my husband the skeptic is convert he never let his to far away note put all electronics in one name so you can download to all and save UNK download the same book to my kindle my ipad and my pc and only pay for it once such bargain the book cover with the light is the UNK love it 1 worth the wait ordered on 27 with free shipping recieved it on 17 and haven been able to put it down since it my first kindle and had no idea what had been missing it works great it truly disappears while you read and it even seems to increase reading speed can say enough good things about it just love it 1 jump in the water fine my husband and are new reader consumers UNK UNK our just acquired his her kindle UNK prior to our anniversary gift purchases spent fair amount of time weighing the ever growing list of reviews and was frankly UNK by what considered high percentage of and star ratings in the 12 range of total reviews that seemed UNK high to me the problems with UNK and failing units no wi fi connections the UNK faulty placement of navigation keys quality of materials and so forth quite UNK list spent an almost equal amount of time UNK on the book covers light no light we finally set aside our concerns we were impressed with the reports of amazon timely support and UNK to UNK whatever problems might occur now having had our new kindles for one week here UNK and UNK of our decisions experience and recommendations chose wi fi versus 3g with the purchase of units we opted for savings of 100 over what would be UNK use of and need for 3g moment of buyer remorse but that UNK happy to have the to spend on new kindle books decided on the UNK covers by UNK economical handy UNK chose bright pink so could easily spot it in my UNK while traveling we ll probably get couple of mighty UNK to use while reading in bed at night so far no need for the costly leather light UNK packaging clean green packaging not UNK of any UNK to the materials quick but complete charge UNK and both units booted up immediately both units under one account registration was trouble free downloading books easy UNK to the UNK kindle even when we re reading the same book quite reliable one of my biggest concerns had been wi fi connections have access at home and work both connections were recognized immediately absolutely no problems connecting product construction we are most impressed have as much security if not more in the construction of our kindles as do in my UNK laptop or blackberry curve good quality made for wear while meeting the goal of light weight nice feel to the touch very positive response to the keypad am using the UNK game to get UNK with the keyboard layout the keys are bit UNK to UNK the way key on the right but no different that having to adapt to new pda page turning response is fine in my UNK wireless performance book downloads are fast web access UNK don use it that much except for initial UNK of feature capabilities easy to use context sensitive menus they change dependent on what you re doing for instance reading UNK playing game don share complaints of key placement have had some UNK page turns and more than one accidental shut down but in short order those have UNK learning to comfortably hold my kindle and properly click my way through read or game 10 battery life we haven UNK to turning wi fi UNK off when not in use addicted to UNK so can UNK through some juice quickly my husband just reading and through one battery charge again wi fi left on most of the time those are the items that most concerned me before purchase and which have since become non issues or more so have added to our delight in the whole product UNK my husband and have quickly become kindle UNK and are happy to share our positive experiences with anyone we even suspect might be interested one week two novels each and some darn good scores in UNK couldn be more pleased am absolutely convinced we absolutely made the right purchase decisions 1 perfection what pleasure to own loved my 1st edition kindle and this one even more also purchased amazon leather case you really do get lost while using it and feel as if you are holding an old fashioned book thanks amazon 1 nothing is perfect arrived much faster than promised amazon promised to ship on september 17th at the time of the order placement updated later to UNK but actually shipped on the 10th and it arrived on UNK easy to refresh the firmware to did it manually straight away liked kindle design much more it felt more sturdy and solid but it was defective when arrived so ended up with kindle wifi also that UNK finish on kindle is real dust UNK operating the device is much easier compared to kindle with the new button layout though still miss the top row of the UNK keyboard that lost it numeric part altogether though the contrast of the screen is improved compared to kindle find kindle screen more paper like more natural but this will wear off believe the browser is good enough to browse wikipedia and check gmail in case of emergency most important reading is easy and comfortable highly recommended one thing am disappointed with so far is that it doesn want to connect to wifi at the office doesn seem to work with wep UNK with UNK key oh well 1 random resets and freeze ups update my purchase of the third generation kindle wi fi was made after careful consideration of all options available to me including the ipad am one of those people who reads books the old fashioned way but have business purpose for the reader technology my job requires that have lots of reference material with me when am off duty this typically includes about 600 pages of documents because of their bulk there are other UNK and reference material that simply do not carry around anyway chose this device over others for three main reasons beautiful screen that can be easily read in bright sunlight and easily with minimal light long battery life pdf file support what did was UNK and or convert all of my documents and reference material into pdf files and UNK them into the kindle there are about UNK documents all together none of them are UNK large since the 27th have been UNK around with the device and am generally pleased and note that the device display quality is about what expected having to zoom and pan is annoying but an acceptable UNK for the size UNK this going in my UNK is that the unit randomly resets itself no real pattern as to why have usually been navigating between documents or flipping pages when it happens once the thing totally froze me out and had to do hard reset the screen has frozen couple of times nothing on the help screen address the resets other than other complaints has anyone had any success with UNK the UNK cause and getting it fixed my department may be interested in purchasing several for our UNK if can give good UNK of the capabilities but quirky unstable system is unacceptable help update 10 received telephone call from customer service tech the evening of september 2010 did not contact them regarding the problems was having but they apparently care enough to read these reviews was asked to install software update as test and leave the wi fi connected for 48 hours so that they could download the UNK here is what happened and reported on 10 have been using the new kindle reader with for two days please note that have had no prior experience with kindle or any other reader for that matter here are my observations following the UNK of the beta software update page turns are noticeably faster am only using pdf files have UNK attempted to cause the machine to lock up or restart by doing everything normally did on the unit prior to the update plus tried some things to screw it up on purpose the result the machine has not had single reset or freeze up since the UNK of while not using the experimental features as primary function decided to UNK with these also the web browser seems to be stable and did not cause any problems even used it to read the newspaper at UNK on their free wi fi service without hitch downloaded several mp3 files to the reader and used it to listen to old time radio programs at bedtime instead of the ipod it worked great did notice that playing mp3 files causes the unit to UNK fair amount of heat and causes UNK UNK of batteries not unexpected because the processor and memory and experiencing constant access in my user opinion the software update resolved the problems was noticing and also caused an improvement in performance of the software in other ways too great job and great response by your customer service UNK as they called me didn call them your company has earned my trust and respect it is nice to know that you folks read the customer review ratings two thumbs up also when you develop kindle or do an update to kindle please consider making the key UNK bright white or UNK the screen is gorgeous and easy to read even in low light but the keys are extremely difficult to read without bright light that has been the first comment from anyone have UNK the unit cheers 1 words absolutely love it have the kindle for over week now and was way too busy reading to take the time to review it here finally was able to put it down for moment and give you my opinion make your own UNK and always think about what is best for what your needs are this product is perfect for me and my needs spent quite bit of time researching and finally arrived at the two top readers well obviously kindle and nook now nook you can actually go and view at any store which is exactly what did it not bad product but it did not quite work for me the touch screen was frustrating for me and typing in title or author name was big challenge the touch screen is sensitive to the UNK of your skin claim by the sales associate to prevent accidental touching well accidental UNK or any other kind of attempt on my part female with decent UNK to get this thing to type in simple last name of an author was impossible had to UNK dozen times until got so frustrated that just gave up this is pretty much what killed the possibility of purchasing the nook so ordered the kindle 3g wifi and am very happy with my choice it is exactly as described there are tons of free books you can download and the free 3g connection is fast the qwerty keyboard it perfectly sized and have not had single typing error so far the controls are simple and intuitive and easy to learn and get accustomed to the contrast is excellent and reading is as relaxing as it can get no eye strain whatsoever and the adjustable font size perfect for those who use reading glasses also opted for the amazon leather cover with led light will discuss that bit more further below and also very happy with it it truly is like reading real paper book there is one thing that would probably say that love the most no more page turning with the UNK page controls on both sides it is really convenient to turn the pages which is practically instantaneous now about the led book light it is exactly that book light don expect full coverage as if you are in fully lit conditions the only minor issue have is that the light UNK out too much and when read in bed have to use the UNK to cover effectively creating little UNK around the book cover containing the reader the light UNK so my husband does not get bothered otherwise again absolutely love this product and am never buying paper book again well except for collecting purposes highly recommend it for anyone who loves reading and the free word games from amazon are not bad either overall build and quality is very good kindle feels solid in your hand and the UNK are very pleasing purchased the white great job amazon the experimental section which includes an internet browser is good to get to free ebook sites like and others and for simple web searches google etc attempted to UNK to my work exchange account and can only get to the login screen and once UNK it was unable to display web based UNK in addition the twitter and facebook features are pretty cool you can really just highlight passage and post it to either or both sites directly from where you are in the book no need to leave the page just post and continue reading did mention absolutely love my kindle 1 excellent reading device huge iphone ipad user however when it comes to ereading the kindle delivers text like no other device the main reason prefer this device over others is it has eink therefore it not back lit which is easy on the eyes great battery life it very light and easy to hold and it easy to use only wish amazon would give us an official option to remove and change the screensaver dead UNK UNK images 0 amazon took days to ship it when ordered it they said in stock ready to ship days later it still didnt ship now it says days to ship had known would have bought off ebay for an extra 10 cant rate what havent received hate when they lie just tell me you dont have it ll expect the wait good thing paid the UNK shipping UNK UNK 0 false advertising just purchased the kindle free 3g wireless reading device amazon UNK this item to include free super saver shipping at days placed the order on 20 10 which would indicate that the kindle would be delivered between 25 and 29 the order UNK is UNK delivery between 27 and 30 when called to question this UNK the representative said that free super saver shipping items are collected in special truck with other free super saver shipping items and won leave until the truck is full this UNK in delivery terms sounds like false advertising 1 love it omg after UNK for may months finally ordered what was to become the new kindle after waiting patiently for whole weeks it has finally arrived easy to use easy to read in fact haven found anything don like about it yet best value out of all of the readers have looked at considering this model has not only wifi but 3g as well go on do it order yours now 0 not durable won last really like all of the kindle ve had but they just don last ve had three so far and all have broken right after the warranty period UNK am not rough on them nor do abuse them all of the problems have been related to the mouse button or next page button it seems amazon just can figure out the UNK 1 ebook shipping costs 50 on digital delivery really even on free books the kindle in itself is good perfect for reading anywhere too bad you can custom add ones own pictures for the screensaver 1 it really works as UNK great buy that did not disappoint it works exactly as UNK which is new experience based on some of my electronic purchases could not be happier just wish more of the UNK books that enjoy were available now the price functionality is incredible 1 kindle 3g wi fi this is my first experience with an reader had read many reviews and did get to play with the kindle owned by friend but waited for the kindle before making move have to say was more than satisfied not only with the operation of the device itself but also with the excellent service from amazon probably one of the most pleasant UNK was not only could search for and purchase books in an instant but could also use it to do quick check of my emails whilst out at the restaurant or shops very impressed if had to be critical would say it would be good if you could swipe the screen to turn the pages and it would be good it you could see how many kindle pages are in the book you are reading and which page you are up to not just the percentage of the book you have read 1 big improvement on the k2 originally thought would never bother upgrading from the k2 as couldn think of anything they could improve on the k2 then they release the k3 boy how wrong was the k3 is huge improvement the sleeker and smaller design makes surprisingly big difference the page turning buttons are much nicer and more user friendly than that of the k2 the screen is just so much brighter was very surprised by that as was never upset with the k2 screen and more than happy with how it looked but when saw the k3 it is really big difference it just so much brighter and the words are so much crisper the extended battery life is brilliant just can say enough how happy am with the new UNK would recommend it to anyone considering buying one 1 wonderful thing for everyone who loves to read what can say when unpacked it just said to myself it so sweet the kindle is light easy to use and its size is very comfortable to read and to carry the device with yourself grew up with paper books around and still going to buy some of them but have to admit that reading books is much more convenient with kindle in my coat pocket can read my books whenever am the price of kindle is very reasonable too and its design is perfect 0 not recommended with an open mind gave this try and this review is based solely on my experience with the primary function of the device the text on the screen looks great but the ability to navigate between pages is extremely cumbersome so much so that wouldn recommend the device over buying regular physical book in addition the prices for the electronic versions of the books am interested in are more expensive than the paperback versions you can even use it to read books from the local library overall don see any benefit in using this or any cost effective reason for purchasing it 1 outstanding got my kindle yesterday from amazon before even opened the kindle was already happy with it my kindle was UNK to come tomorrow also along with my kindle got my case and my skin which were UNK to come on different days after got the kindle so kudos to amazon opened the kindle in total UNK about my new UNK and before even touching it UNK it off and put the skin on with only very little UNK much less than you expect with all of the kindle little buttons then plugged in my kindle and turned it on even with the videos about the kindle was still UNK surprised with how UNK the screen is checked out everything and before knew it had bought my first book on the kindle the last song by UNK UNK which was about dollars less than buying it regularly the one thing that really do not UNK on the kindle is UNK UNK pages work find it very confusing and bothersome if anyone does know how it works or anything please comment on this or however it works and tell me so other than that one little problem love my new kindle 1 exceeded my expectations wanted an reader didn want ipad or some other device that could also serve as an reader as they are too big and too heavy ve had my kindle for about 10 days now and have used it everyday it has exceeded all of my expectation ve not been happier with purchase in very long time update ve had my reader for about six weeks and continue to greatly enjoy my kindle and believe it to be my best electronics purchase this year have read several novels and it is incredibly nice to be able to sit or lay in any position and hold this as would any book except it is lighter the best part is that if my eyes begin to tire or if am having UNK problems can simply adjust to larger font do wish had bought the 3g model as have ended up wanting to have blogs and news sites updated when not near wifi source will likely buy the 3g model at some point and give this one as gift 1 love the kindle but new releases sometimes come out later than hardback and sometimes even cost more than hardback this defeats the UNK bought the kindle will have to go back to book clubs by mail 1 absolutely love it will share some of the issues with it it amazing in the sense that all the good things you hear about it are definitely true things like different that didn have to pay in usd canadian that my highlighting and notes could be viewed just for each individual pdf as opposed to having them all UNK together in the my clippings txt file know can view them individually on the kindle but can at all on the macbook at the very least would be nice if the kindle app for mac would let me see what notes ve made on the pdf files the sizes and UNK aren always the most useful ways of changing up the pdf but recognize that this is just the nature of the files wish could make collection inside of collection for ex in my classic literature collection have number of works by UNK UNK and would like them to all be in one collection together but kept under the classic literature one moving the cursor around can be bit of hassle and always tempted to touch the screen because that pretty much what do for lot of other devices the potential future of this device the other somewhat irritating thing is when trying to annotate the pdf files you need to use the cursor to move the pages left right up down because they ve been enlarged but you also need it to annotate so it bit of an annoying back and forth that literally every complaint have about the thing which is just out there to help you understand what you are getting into mostly bought it to read my pdf files and classics for free so it was perfect would definitely not return it or anything absolutely love it except that end up staying up late reading more than would before it the most amazing device perfect for those who love reading and if you don like printing out pdfs when you read them especially for post secondary students who readings are primarily in those formats it amazingly useful 1 like it there is no need for words it UNK by itself use it for hour and you ll UNK that you love it 1 just as great as hoped it would be there are still feature or two haven tried such as the text to speech and have briefly used the web browser which haven UNK yet by any means have ready about 25 of different novels in the days since got it in my excited little hands not having to worry about saving your place is godsend for someone who doesn have bookmarks laying around finally synced to my iphone kindle app today and was able to read at the gym on the exercise UNK the lighting at my gym is really low so it was easier to see on my iphone it is very intuitive so much so that barely did the initial user guide UNK it feels really good in your hands and you don get that UNK from holding heavy book open when you try to use one hand the day got it pre ordered new release that was coming out today and when woke up this morning it was there ready and waiting for me to read no actual driving to the bookstore to purchase an expensive hardcover was wonderful have also been surprised by the very reasonable pricing on the books want one being new release and one on the nyt bestsellers list even purchased free jane UNK my UNK had the 1st generation and on comparison with my new one she has already ordered hers traveling this weekend and the next and am already looking forward to using it quite bit even searching and purchasing from the amazon store is super easy the speed of downloads is UNK highly recommend to anyone know 1 even better than expected just received the kindle wi fi as birthday gift and am thrilled am total loss where technology is concerned and was bit nervous about an reader the kindle however is very user friendly have been reading away without the fatigue of holding large book and have not experienced any eye strain this may be the most appreciated gift have ever received 1 amazing am very happy with the kindle it is easy to operate and it beats having bunch novels it is convenient to just turn on and begin reading without folding pages or using book marks 1 great purchase just love this little device the fact that can change the size of the font and the type of font has opened up new world for me there are many books that UNK due to the size font used also like the fact that can browse the internet on my little kindle had known that was feature have UNK up the extra 50 to get the 3g version est la UNK doubt this will be my last kindle suspect ll wind up having one for fun and one for business this is more than reading choice it is new way of reading thanks amazon 1 from lover of books initial impressions was reluctant to purchase kindle in the past because love books in computer UNK world there is something especially satisfying about sitting alone with book love to read and have always enjoyed bound books the cover the feel of the pages the back the whole thing reading is one of the most enjoyable and UNK aspects of my life when first got the kindle it was very fun to play with but it was not until got lost in book that realized its potential the designers did fabulous job there is no way to describe what it feels looks like without actually reading one it does not feel like reading on computer screen it does not even look like screen there is no glare the text looks like it UNK on smooth surface was one of those people who thought that there must be another UNK of plastic after took the plastic off another huge aspect for me is being able to sample entire chapters and buy the books at reasonable price if want them never bought new hardcovers because found them way too expensive always bought used paperbacks from local bookstores will still continue to buy used paperbacks from local bookstores but all of the books in the public domain are free on kindle it amazing how many books are on their free list most of the classics are free in addition to new books and free classics purchased the kindle to subscribe to science magazines have tried subscriptions to science magazines before but they would pile up in my apartment and rarely had time to read them when would have time when im out and about waiting at the airport waiting to pick somebody up waiting in line staying somewhere as UNK also like that you can bring the entire collection with you it doesn make sense to bring year worth of science magazines on trip when you only read UNK minutes before bed the kindle is not going to replace but rather UNK the books in my life if anything it already has me reading more it does the job that it supposed to do it allows you to get lost in good books that you are reading improvements over regular books you pick the font size we ve all read books that we wished were larger or smaller the weight of the kindle no more concerns about too heavy books let alone all your books it wonderfully light sampling the first chapter of any book if it available on kindle you can do it no traveling required instant dictionary all definitions are few clicks away UNK reading not my thing but you can view passages that others highlight there are other options here where regular books remain better front and back covers the kindle is lacking here though love how random authors appear on the front in sleep mode impressive fonts or binding the kindle has limited but solid font options some publishers just do outstanding UNK page turning the kindle flashes while the page turns why this is distracting it my only complaint stars knowing where you are in the chapter flipping ahead is nicer than clicking ahead UNK the kindle does well for black and white but photographs diagrams and images look better in print suggestions for the future in case anyone from amazon ever reads the page should take up the whole front except for few buttons the keyboard is an extra treat it like one color options should be available the magazines are UNK but they don look near as good folding screen could be beautiful provided it looks as clean if only this could fit in our pockets at this size more customizable options we should be able to pick what shows up in sleep mode for instance keep it for reading this isn mini computer or phone it digital page for endless reading finally if you re on the fence you can use kindle for the mac like did that way you can download the free classics and sample books on the computer as if it were your kindle though the reading is not as enjoyable it at least gives you feel for how it would work enjoy 1 it great the kindle is my first book reader and think it perfect the display is brilliant and battery life is awsome got my kindle three weeks ago and fully charged it and it hasn been necessary to recharge the battery till now wi fi connection is easy and very fast the kindle is light and easy to hold and reading on it is simply fun 1 truly UNK reading experience have had many devices in the past ever since ebooks were just UNK in dead trees eye these include tablet pc pocket pc blackberry and most recently sony pocket ereader but up to now there was always something that stopped me from getting lost in good book until now within minutes of starting to read the k3 disappears and the words take over with no distractions UNK email UNK calls etc if there was one suggestion could make to UNK the experience it would be an option to remove the locations bar books have page numbers and even if they did not there is no getting away from visually seeing how much further you had to go but with an ereader this indication of how long you have left has for me negative aspect on the UNK if say there is false UNK UNK through story you know that is what it is as there is half book left so the UNK of the story has been UNK if you needed to go to particular page then you could turn the option back on go there then turn it off just thought 0 UNK and switch ordering kindle is random process amazon promises but fails to deliver or to give realistic delivery expectations over three weeks and no delivery date 1 whole library at my fingertips if you had talked to me about kindle or any kind of reader month ago would have UNK only real paper books for me well at age UNK became kindle convert series of events lead me to looking at the kindle it wasn at all like thought it would be and the more read the more wanted one got it days ago much to my delight made the UNK and bought the 60 lighted cover while waiting downloaded the kindle for pc and picked up or free books since these are often limited time offers just finished my first book last night wonder now how ever lived without my kindle have bibles UNK and other books in separate UNK called collections on my kindle great way of organizing by type or topic have at least other UNK books loaded at this point one of which will start to read today love just about everything about it turn it off in the middle of book and it turns on right to the same spot but no bookmarks to loose no books to get UNK around if want to read books at once each opens right to where left off with the lighted cover can read in my car for few moments while waiting for kid to come out of the UNK UNK or boy UNK find myself picking it up far more often than would regular book because it is so small and lightweight and is pleasure to read it was easy to set up to my home network have blog subscribed to and every evening this daily blog is updated automatically when get home from work and turn on my kindle love having dictionary even thought don use it much love being able to highlight passages and clip notes and make comments and all my books are on one small lightweight device my one and only complaint no clock on the kindle so find myself loosing track of time there actually is clock setting but it doesn show like on computer screen yes am kindle UNK now and even with kids full time job hubby and more am finally finding time to read again my recommendations if you like to read at all get the kindle spend the extra 60 and get the lighted cover that is worth ever penny for keeping your kindle clean and protected and for having light at any time there are far more extensive and better reviews than this but wanted to stand and UNK my praise 0 great device pity about the wifi it great device but it won work with my UNK UNK wireless router worked with the very good very helpful customer service people and finally learned that the wifi kindle does not work with any mixed mode wireless router only with an out of date or router you cannot even set mixed mode router to do or only mode at least that what cs told me mind you did not read all the fine print in the product description but was assured this information is there still bummer had to return this device and spring for the extra 50 to get the 3g version love kindle this is my second one gave the first one to my lovely wife who is delighted pity about the wifi 1 why like my kindle like my kindle because can take it anywhere you can take book anywhere too but my kindle is so light just pop it in my purse have used it in the UNK while was watching packages for my UNK on shopping UNK have used it in the waiting room of the doctors office and in the car waiting for who knows what also use it at home and you can carry an UNK library not just one book without adding any weight 1 sleek design true to its purpose what like the most about kindle is that it is nothing more and nothing less than just reading device think it is pretty cheap for its price and can really treat it as device that use to read stuff guess the only thing is usually don treat my books well toss them around etc and cannot really do that with the device think it fair though 1 best love my kindle can download the books want and don have to carry heavy hardcover books back and forth on the train 1 love my kindel this is the best investment ever made love books and like to reread my favorites now can carry them with me at all times have had no problems am very satisfied with my purchase 1 product that lives up to the hype simple device that does what they say it can do good buy at the price if reading is what you need to do then this is the product for you if you looking for UNK then buy something UNK 1 kindle review have been using the kindle for month now and absolutely love it very light and easy to hold had no problem getting used to it would recommend this to any avid reader 1 love my new kindle have always loved to read now can read in the car at work or in the UNK UNK line up love the convenience and simplicity of it 1 love my kindle when it comes to buying electronics like to check them out in person before buying so waited until best buy had them in stock at best buy was able to UNK the kindle side by side to the sony and nook although the sony and nook had excellent features liked the idea of having keyboard which the others didn offer and the size of the kindle was more appealing so purchased it on october right away became UNK with freezes and the system restarting so went to the kindle webpage and downloaded the most recent firmware it helped some but continued having the system freeze on start up after playing around with my setting determined the problem was with collection once removed my collection folders the problems stopped the only problem that UNK was the fact that the and return key were so faded could no longer make out the letters believe the letters were fading because use my UNK instead of my fingers but when you have long UNK it is impossible to use the keyboard any other way sent an mail to amazon customer services and within two days had new kindle when received the replacement kindle immediately downloaded firmware set up several collection folders and downloaded all my books have now had my second kindle for four days and used it for about 13 hours have had zero crashes or freezes give amazon customer service five stars for the speedy replacement and friendly UNK give kindle UNK five stars for fixing the UNK so quickly give the kindle keyboard two stars UNK the letters on my replacement kindle are already fading even with the fading keyboard give kindle an overall five stars update 11 20 2010 spent the last week on vacation my mother fell in love with the every word game so seldom got to use it for reading like me she has UNK and forgot to UNK her not to use her finger UNK on the keyboard my and are nearly worn off so ll need to contact amazon for replacement my third kindle since purchased it in august as long as amazon is good about replacing it each time the letters fade ll continue giving the kindle star rating 0 needs UNK just got my kindle there are some things don like no back light thought it had one it should have one that could be turned on off in low light it is more UNK to read kindle off of small laptop or an iphone it is very annoying that when you turn pages the screen for split second goes to black pages turn seamlessly on the pc or iphone do like the dictionary feature that looks up word by placing the cursor in front of it you need better system to control the cursor when browsing the web it is not even worth doing that with the cursor system they have now also there should be back button on it the UNK voice reads to you sounds terrible is hard to understand and needs much improvement 1 love it the best thing in the market just wish would have gotten one years ago before building up my library of UNK books thanks kindle amazon 1 kindle best purchase for anyone who travels and or reads novels frequently this is an absolute must the kindle itself is easy to use has great UNK the ease of ordering and book selection fabulous there are many free books have not yet tried any of the different features other than simply ordering and reading and this alone makes the kindle well worth the 139 00 price tag am an avid reader and traveler and the kindle greatly UNK my load as well as UNK me to read even more since can keep it in my purse at all times also like to have several books going at once and the kindle makes that breeze my year old daughter is even reading more often have downloaded couple of books for her and she now reads in the car and of course she thinks the kindle is cool the battery lasts UNK time if you keep the wireless turned off until you need it best purchase have made since my ipod also ordering online from amazon com was the best it was shipped overnight and as soon as turned it on the books had ordered where already there since it is pre registered seriously the best if you are thinking about it do it 1 easy like sunday morning amazon went above and beyond with this kindle the more light on the screen the clearer the text even without 3g books download in seconds it may take few hours to get use to the setup browsing but it simple and quick may never buy physical book again 1 if nook were pc then the kindle is mac in may of 2010 was UNK for an UNK school while was there one of my UNK owned barnes and noble nook had been UNK the kindle and the nook since am an avid reader and frequently UNK where have to travel light felt that an reader would be the way to go so id never run out of stuff to read yet UNK have to carry around suitcase just for my books was impressed with the nook and decided to buy it based on my UNK UNK and the fact that was able to actually use it and touch it unlike the kindle due to recent events decided to make the switch to kindle so the rest of the review will go over why made the switch and some initial comparisons between the nook and kindle reasons why switched availability of books that like to read huge fantasy UNK here and historical fiction amazon has killer selection while the nook had reasonable selection but lets face it its years behind amazon on UNK publishers to actually provide digital version of lot of books that interested in UNK potential and real UNK is currently in UNK over the design of the nook believe it is an UNK reader with UNK screen they had it first showed it to UNK and all of UNK UNK comes out with the nook which looks UNK similar to the UNK reader and recently amazon was UNK UNK for UNK screen reader so it appears that UNK is UNK in UNK of UNK held by its biggest competitor amazon which to me doesnt UNK well for the future of the nook hardware simply put the kindle is more refined its like jumping from UNK nook to UNK kindle so few notes on the differences between the two kindle is smaller more responsive and loads faster ive UNK noticed more streamlined reading experience compared to the nook in all UNK the nook is only year old while the kindle has had lot of time to work out the kinks and mature but that surely is point in favor of kindle maybe this should be UNK but weight weight weight never noticed how heavy my nook was until held my kindle makes huge difference user interface how can say this honestly prefer the navigation and user interface of the nook over the kindle and this is where the kindle loses star in my opinion its much harder to navigate through the kindle than the nook not so bad for tech UNK people or someone who can UNK little time to getting used to it but dont feel like can buy few kindles and give them as christmas presents to my mom and family members who are interested in ebooks without them becoming frustrated the nook is much more user friendly this is where my title comes into play if the nook were pc then the kindle is UNK mac UNK more streamlined but not as friendly to use at first that about UNK it up over all very pleased with my kindle but do feel that it should be more user UNK overall if you are traveler military or just love to read buy the kindle you wont regret it 1 something that was missed the software of the kindle is excellent however the hardware portion needs improvement people read through the sight sense the software of the kindle UNK adjustment through the ability to adjust the font size the UNK of the hardware UNK this they have assumed that the size of the letters on the keyboard can easily be read by all huge mistake the kindle has plenty of room at the bottom to allow for keyboard that much wider range of users can read heck simply making the letters in bold could help if you are user that may need to increase the font in the software be warned that you will most likely have problem with the keyboard still the kindle is great over all however the keyboard needs improvement big time 1 lovin it love this product my kindle goes everywhere with me love the ease of getting any book you can think of am still learning on it but so far love it 1 amazing when was still in UNK school used to love reading books literature was not only means to expand my knowledge about the world but also UNK as good escape when needed to relax and take it easy college years came and most of the books we were required to read were textbooks and journals these UNK me so much that my reading list grew and eventually took UNK would occasionally see book reviews on the net and on the papers and feel sad that didn have time to UNK in their purpose the UNK of books and portable readers came but it was tricky to pick one out because of limited choices mobility and budget restrictions sure would pick out couple or two of books that wanted to read but most of them ended up in the shelves to collect dust they were mostly too bulky for me to lug along to work first heard of the kindle year ago and heard of great reviews from fellow UNK when was in UNK UNK last fall was also able to UNK it in action being on the UNK everyday for week would always be beside someone UNK in their white old model kindles they looked comfortable enough to prop up with just one hand while the other one holds on to the UNK UNK during transit when got back to the UNK found out that limited units were only being shipped and they were expensive at that time the release of the kindle changed all that read the specifications and found out that they were much smaller and user friendly UNK in town also UNK some units which further UNK my UNK to get one so immediately ordered one online after less than weeks of waiting got my graphite kindle wi fi and finally settled to book heaven the screen is so much easier on the eyes compared to reading on the pc kindle for iphone and even for some paperbacks it really felt light in my hands and fatigue never became factor for me stopping in the middle of the book now slowly UNK back to my old reading list and looking into UNK some of my old classics as well not one UNK of regret with this purchase did not get the leather case though because an oberon is being gifted to me soon 1 kindle wifi love my new kindle really like that don have to shift my position to read left hand page can keep the book in the same place on my UNK or table and read at regular pace received my kindle on 16 and just had to recharge it yesterday 10 17 if had put the wireless off it would have lasted longer now know this wonderful thing has launched me into world of reading that had been missing all these years there is no need for bookmark anymore because kindle does that for me automatically thank you amazon 1 kindle love it people show it to that have the 1st kindle think the new one is superior buttons are larger page turns from both sides the only complaint have is the instructions do not tell you about all the features that the kindle has to offer nothing about the UNK or the headphone jack and when called customer service they didn know either 1 kindle new while this is fascinating gadget had to return the first one for having locked itself up unfortunately it is not possible to perform hard reboot on this unit so if it ever locks up you are out of luck otherwise love the things it does the amazon folks were very good about replacing it UNK 1 few improvements needed overall am very pleased with the kindle to be able to travel with selection of books to read without carrying an extra bag for them is blessing my only suggestion for future models would be to enlarge the graphics on the keyboard the tiny characters are very hard to read and there seems to be plenty of room on the keys to have larger and UNK type 1 kindle customer thought would never give up my love of paper books but kindle has proved me wrong the fact that can change the font is dream come true no longer do have to hope my book will appear in the large print section of the library and after holding those huge large print books can tell you the kindle is relief can take it anywhere it is so light and no longer need to struggle with the pages flipping over have many friends with vision issues and they have been able to use my kindle with ease am so happy purchased my kindle 1 kindle very impressed with the kindle purchased it makes reading books so much more convenient holding very large book is harder as age knowing that can read any book and not worry about size is great like the convenience of being able to download from the local library also still learning about all the features the kindle has and have not made use of them all but so far very happy with my purchase 1 awesome device update initially was skeptical about purchasing an reader thought would dislike not having color display but kindle proved me wrong on this the screen is so clear and the letters so crisp that the display actually looks fake after reading on it for while soon realized that this is very comfortable way to read far superior to an lcd screen and not unlike book thought the page turns would be too slow and irritating this after playing with friend nook which UNK page turns at painful rate but again the kindle surprised me by far UNK my expectations when had read to the bottom of the page clicked the button to load the next page and by the time my eyes had traveled to the top of the display to begin reading the new page was loaded this is much faster load rate than the nook can claim also thought that not having UNK touch display like is on my ipod touch would be annoying and make the kindle feel UNK and confusing to operate being so used to navigating around the screen of my ipod by UNK and UNK the screen UNK myself repeatedly trying to do the same to the kindle screen out of sheer habit part of this is again due to my UNK with nook because that is exactly what did realize now was UNK at the nook screen because it lacks physical keyboard and having no visual UNK to tell my mind otherwise just assumed needed to UNK around to navigate on the nook since there was that UNK in what expected and the reality using the nook was very UNK for me not so on the kindle the keyboard tells me exactly what to expect and am very pleased with the way this device functions of course touch would be nice but kindle UNK that it not necessary and is definitely not deal breaker since most of the time you re not navigating anyway just pressing the page forward button overall this is great device and really happy that bought one it extremely comfortable in the hand and on the eyes and well worth 139 update for those who are skeptical about buying kindle because it will accept only pdf and UNK book files recently discovered free book conversion program called calibre that will convert most other book formats to something the kindle will recognize these can then be UNK onto your kindle from your mac or pc also some have complained about the lack of dedicated number keys on the keyboard really this is non issue since the alt top row on the keyboard is hot key for the number keys 1 ereader reads UNK like my kindle it is compact easy to follow through the learning instructions are clear and UNK just miss the fact that it could be touchscreen as nowadays everything is touchscreen would have loved to see this here too great product though still have to find out if downloading works as easy as described 1 can live without this it took me awhile to decided whether or not the kindle would be right for me would really use it or would it be another electronic piece that would sit on the shelf collecting dust finally decided to give it try love it take it everywhere with me now chose the smaller version so that can easily slip it in my purse pull it out at the doctor office at the UNK office anywhere have moment don get bored anymore love the word games on it for times only have few minutes and read books when want to UNK in for awhile can live without this now love it 1 love it received my kindle newest kindle with 3g and couldn be happier bought one last year for my daughter and now am proud owner no books to worry about what to do with them after reading convience of ordering what books you want sharing books with my daughter haven found out how yet receiving free books very light to hold great to read in any light love the cover purchased also take anywhere 1 mi kindle UNK UNK de UNK UNK UNK el UNK que me UNK el UNK UNK este UNK kindle lo UNK

este UNK estoy UNK UNK que si lo UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK aacute un UNK aacute UNK 1 love my kindle ever since learned how to read ve always had my head UNK in book ve only had my kindle for couple of months now but ve downloaded enough books to keep me happy for at least year like the idea that saving UNK of trees not to mention the bookshelf space in my small nyc apartment had some UNK before my purchase that might miss the simple pleasure of turning page but find don miss it all if you re an avid reader like myself kindle is the way to go 1 3rd generation kindle recieved my first kindle in sept was so excited that started playing the free word games once started to read book noticed the left side page turner was not UNK called and we tried few things and it did not change they sent replacement and UNK it in days the the return was so easy and when turned on my new kindle it worked perfectly am getting ready to go on week vacation where mainly read and relax so have purchased several books to take with me and it will be so much easier then carry all the books with me it works great outside in the UNK just like promised just need to print all the great things it can do it is little hard to find UNK what you would like so hard copy would be better love it 1 instant gratification received my kindle for my birthday in sept am UNK with UNK so spend many hours reading as live in spain getting books in english can be problem so UNK heavily on amazon but since getting my kindle have been able to get my books at my UNK my only fear is that will UNK myself or in fact my husband have also UNK of amazons free ebooks found the kindle easy to read light and handy look forward to many delightful days and UNK reading this UNK never thought that would let anything replace my beloved books but this comes close 1 wonderful but it UNK me little after the software update my kindle wi fi works perfectly am reading lot more since got the kindle though do notice get UNK more easily when reading kindle maybe something to do with the fact the contrast is still not as good as paper also like the leather cover even though prefer to read the kindle naked it is beautifully designed unlike the ones that strap the device in with ugly rubber UNK even the web surfing is pleasant experience love the article mode that UNK all the noisy distractions on web page and displays only the article intend to read in good sized fonts and can keep reading it even after the wi fi is turned off or after turned the kindle off and on few times installed kindle app on my work computer the computer and the kindle always know the last spot on book reading on each other in fact the computer always knows my last spots on every book reading simultaneously on kindle even though it has never seen the kindle this UNK me little this means amazon always knows my progress on every kindle book bought fully expect amazon to send me message next time buy book finish reading the books you already have before buying new one 1 better than expectation everything is good even better than have expected the only problem is fingerprints it very serious with this white kindle especially on back side and buttons think really need buy case 1 kindle UNK own the kindle the white one with 3g and just got the wifi model and it is really superb the contrast is much better than the other kindle and the addition of page buttons on the left side is very convenient the wifi for me is better than the 3g because travel lot to latin america and can sync or buy books anywhere without extra charges overall much improved reading experience at much better price personally think that books printed are going to be more UNK as people gets used to these reading devices it is going to be good for trees but bad for bookstores 1 kindle wonderful product absolutely love the kindle and as this is my third one UNK must 1 kindle 3g had the first generation kindle but love the size of the new one and international download capabilities 1 love it received my kindle days after ordering it live in canada so was pretty impressed we left for holidays shortly after and downloaded couple of books before leaving thought it would take awhile to get used to reading from kindle but much to my surprise prefer it to most books it light can adjust the size of the print and can browse online so quickly for my next read plus there are so many free books right now am reading all the jane UNK books something normally wouldn have even tried but love her the only negative is the price of the leather case with light didn order case because wasn sure if would need one if you are travelling with your kindle or reading outside and need to put it down think case is good idea however with the shipping and duty charges the cost was just too much so advise purchasing case at the same time as your kindle if you live outside the usa or do what did bought kobo UNK case and small UNK light for about 25 the light is great for night reading and doesn get in the way 1 perfect for what it is designed to do own kindle and didn use it as much as thought would have very good library about two miles from my house and already own about 500 books that haven read yet so tended to use the kindle in special instances travelling when reading books that could get for free on the kindle etc when the latest generation kindle came out really had no intention of buying one but decided to stop by local retail store just to see you know how you shouldn go car shopping unless you intend to buy because you end up with the UNK that how this was with me the device was sleek slim lightweight and UNK buy me to make long story short did order the latest kindle after giving it quite bit of thought and am very glad did find myself reading the new kindle more often than the kindle and here is why the device is smaller and lighter and fits in one hand comfortably always held the kindle with both hands the contrast is significantly better reading in the evening with lower lighting the kindle is wonderful compared to the kindle previous page button is located on both sides very helpful when reading with one hand no one else seemed to mind or at least they didn mention it but there was clicking noise when the next page or previous page button was pressed that drove me bit UNK the kindle has more of UNK sound which isn distracting or irritating new device worth the cost for that alone the following is true for any ereader but my reader of choice is the kindle the ability to have library with you at all times can tell you the number of times have packed 10 books into my suitcase or taken book with me when going to sit at the doctor office etc am starting to reach the point where want to get rid of things so having all my books on small portable device rather than taking up space on bookshelves is becoming more appealing can have all my books accessible without taking up room side note and not considered in my rating know lots of people are talking about book cost even though it not related to the device itself and would just like to take moment to comment while the cost of many ebooks has significantly increased in the years have owned the kindle my average cost is pretty low if you are UNK you can UNK some really great books for free or greatly reduced prices many times if an author is coming out with new book an older book by them will be offered at bargain to draw you in this is particularly true with books in series find myself enjoying the hunt and monitor freebies greatly reduced books daily added on 23 2011 after having this device for several months find actually prefer this to paper book can actually believe am saying this but it true it easier to read in lower light and tend to read in the evening and easy to hold in one hand so the other hand is free to pet the dog that is usually on my lap am to the point that have hard time buying paper books or using the library since the kindle is so much better 1 one of the best purchase ever made bought kindle weeks ago other than my mobile phone it is another electronic device which will carry with me where ever go like the size the weight and easy to use interface one thing which UNK me the most is the good customer UNK of amazon live in UNK and bought kindle through the online UNK last friday found my kindle screen was UNK and called the amazon support and they thought my kindle needed to be replaced and received new kindle by ups on monday morning don expect such good services even with the local company here highly reccommend both kindle and amazon 1 kindle rocks the k3 with 3g is my first reader and all can say is wow haven even had mine 24 hrs and am thrilled opted for the one with 3g because don have wireless at home and do travel occasionally like the idea of being able to download new book to read anywhere anytime without having to find wifi hotspot no sooner took it out of the box and the library of books had purchased while waiting for my k3 to arrive were downloaded the screen is short of amazing text is crisp and clear unit is lightweight and page turning is fast some of the features like being able to change font size and the ease of looking up word in the dictionary while reading by just highlighting it makes it pleasure to use also enjoy the selection of screensavers that come on when you put your kindle to sleep looked at both the sony and nook before purchasing the kindle and know now made the right choice don want to surf the net on it or check my mail have my pc for that touch screens are convenient but use more energy and not having color is not problem for me why have lot of extra features that use up battery life all want to do is read books and the kindle delivers really fast if you ve been considering buying one of these little UNK just jump in and do it you won regret it highly recommend the lighted leather cover bought it along with my kindle after reading several positive reviews and it was worth every penny it great protection for your kindle and the light works well for reading at night wherever you may be in bed on the bus coming home from work etc and having the light work off the kindle own battery was UNK of genius the only problem going to have now is getting any sleep can seem to put my kindle down thanks amazon 1 unexpected success we re UNK when it comes to reading but my husband wanted kindle for his birthday UNK we both enjoy many of its features font size options hi lite clip file features clear print with no glare outside or UNK pages down sides still need lite at UNK takes bit of getting used to how to hold it comfortably so you aren UNK the forward back buttons we ve shown it to many people one common UNK from all the women is does it come in UNK color selections so amazon when will you begin offering it in several colors besides the graphite downloads are amazingly easy quick you get the whole book loaded including cover UNK exactly like the original book 1 great product pros love the kindle it allows me to conveniently read the books receiving books that bought was also very easy the item showed up in my menu easily changes to font to increase or decrease is very easy cons just that it allows for other fonts from other languages also if it allowed to have some UNK to categorize the various books that would make things easy to navigate after all if it allows to hold so many books it would be great to categorize the books 1 not UNK graduate typical computer device most minimal instructions might as well be written in UNK useless have kindle on which can only read the UNK instruction manual any attempts to download purchased material fails what UNK can wait to call customer service tomorrow to try and figure out how to maneuver through all these UNK computer messages UNK this eject this can do this can do that etc left with kindle that about to toss into the UNK know UNK but there must be better way to present the product than what amazon has done revision to above review setting up this kindle has proved to be much easier before UNK hour rather than after UNK for the above UNK 1 kindle wireless best gadget for reading have kindle wireless for months and have done real investment on it is is very practical and fun to read bought it UNK UNK an device to read but having wi fi UNK it make it the best chose 1 love this kindle have recently become lover of books again bought this as present to myself and love it get to read all the new books that have been waiting for at lower prices am not wasting trees by buying books and it is so lightweight and slim you hardly know you have it in your purse 1 my first reader and great for the price since have nothing to compare my kindle to can only review what in my eyes are the things like about it have had my kindle for little less than two months and have really enjoyed it so far love the game UNK which play little too much almost every night the screen has wonderful resolution imo no glare to worry about like when your reading computer screen so your eyes do not get tired very easy to find and purchase books at the kindle store the only thing don care for is the fact that its hard to move around book wish there was way for me to skip to later chapter instead of having to flip page by page if there was way to move UNK chapters that would be great if there is way do not know of it also the older books have on my kindle do not have where you can search inside the book that would help also was able to download pdf books that weren for sale on kindle but were public domain kindle also does not work with your local library system at least for UNK UNK you can borrow books on your reader but not the kindle which is kind of bummer overall think kindle is wonderful it easy to use and incredibly small and lightweight in fact its so small bought the cover because was afraid that it would get broken definitely worth the price 1 UNK happy kindle have owned my kindle for month and absolutely love love love it all books are now large print which is something need and was my reason for purchasing the kindle can say enough good about it don worry about any or all extra things it can or cannot do in comparison to other readers out there the kindle is great and thank you amazon so much 1 eacute UNK de UNK hi just love my kindle carry it with me all the time the electronic ink display is excellent very clear the battery life is great compared to laptops or mp3 players like the ipod touch the english book selection in kindle format is very good but sadly very very poor in french which is my preferred language the kindle interface should be available in other languages as well it seems that for copyright protection books available in french in digital format are UNK in epub or protected adobe pdf which requires the use of the software adobe digital editions to read the file you should update the kindle operating system to support those formats and any other lt lt standard formats otherwise your competitors will most probably UNK the kindle one has only to think of the ipad and and all its pc competitors now entering the market 1 good overall product got this kindle expecting to be able to read my textbooks for college and well can but it will be difficult and guess should have expected that on black and white device with screen can still do it in pinch so guess it is going to be UNK bought this device because you can connect through amazon connection but it is so much easier to connect to your own faster and easier you can browse the internet on it but the few times tried to hook up to my facebook it froze also tried to look at my email and it froze this device is not for browsing however it is for reading book so read with it if you want to browse the internet then use your phone or your computer am very impressed with the amount of free books out there and it makes buying the kindle worth every penny who can complain about being able to read book without having to UNK with pages and the bulk of book am so impressed with the ease of turning pages and not having to remember the page was on kinda wonder if the next page button will eventually break because it UNK to take some pressure to push it in pros not having to hold bulky book not having to turn pages not having to remember what page was on bright life like book pages free books wireless connectivity cons freezes up when checking email or going on facebook all have tried so far not really something for textbooks ie college high school books battery is located inside so you cannot replace it if when it needs replacing wondering if buttons will break since it UNK so heavily on one specific button 1 UNK reader bought the UNK for my UNK yo dad who loves to read but recently has found it difficult due to some issues with his vision he tried this device and was delighted he is not computer savy guy but quickly figured out how to use it buy books and create library it is light weight and easy to hold which he appreciated he found the ability to change the fond size and the back lit appearance very helpful he hasn put it down 1 UNK have two suggestions firstly when using the menu the cursor needs to roll over to the bottom or top as the case may be so that it is quicker and less cursor UNK when going from the default shop in kindle store to say experimental secondly when hold the kindle in the palm of my hand and use my thumb to page turn often page turn in error as there smooth edge and no UNK or raised pad to locate my thumb or finger on UNK spot apart from that am delighted with not only the readability but also the web ability for me the 3g option is the only way to go and eliminates UNK for wifi spot especially international travel 1 no regrets just as bought the kindle saw the nook UNK the color version should return the kindle as actually started using the kindle realized how enjoyable and effortless it was to read the dimensions and weight of the kindle do not UNK on the reading experience the display is easy on the eyes the battery life is amazing in contrast the new color nook despite its immediate appeal and obvious UNK has for lack of better UNK UNK that would appear to detract from the reading experience the weight is almost twice that of the kindle while in certain situations sitting on couch weight is not factor it would make it slightly less enjoyable while reading standing in train while commuting where it is good to have hand to hold onto something or while walking the battery life of the color nook is also short enough to keep one frequently UNK to power cord while the new nook seems to be great device the kindle UNK great balance for me have no regrets staying with and enjoying my kindle 1 UNK reading at it best wow very small and compact easy to take with you when you leave home however don be UNK this little package packs powerful UNK the built in wi fi and 3g make ordering books papers and periodicals snap they are downloaded to the kindle automatically and very quickly you will find that the costs of books etc are less than the hard cover versions and once you buy them you have them forever did mention the display is excellent and very easy to read allowing for many adjustments to suit your needs if you have vision problems it will even read the material to you in either male or female voice your choice give the kindle two thumbs up love this thing 1 fantastic for vision impaired readers purchased the kindle after reading some reviews and have found it to be all that had hoped for and more suffer from vision UNK UNK that makes some books difficult to read because of glare size of font colour of pages and other UNK items find the kindle to be easy to read even in the UNK sunlight which can be extreme in UNK it bonus that can change the font size as well highly recommend the kindle for anyone with UNK or anyone else for that matter it fantastic product 1 everything expected it lives up to my expectations and beyond love the graphite color and the fact that there are no glossy UNK to be seen the page turns are quick the text is insanely easy to read and the interface is excellent you won be able to read pdf in full screen mode but you can always convert it to mobi or prc file highly recommended 1 owning kindle in new zealand this kindle is my first experience with an ereader and definitely not disappointed just love my kindle it nice size and weight and love the dictionary function it great that there is uk and us dictionary option too although the kindle came to me already registered still had to connect to amazon via the wifi at least once in order to access all the features don think this would be problem for most people except where live am unable to get wifi connection at home and we don have starbucks in my town and only couple other wifi UNK in the end did have to go to starbucks over an hour away and make the connection and now it is all sorted it was major pain though trying to figure out why couldn make connection at places where knew were wifi UNK unknown to me the places went to can have been fully open networks and spent over an hour on the phone to customer services at amazon trying to figure this out which brings me to my one complaint the cs team were unable to UNK me so had to make the call to the usa myself at my expense if lived in australia though the cs team would have called me if you are going to sell kindles to UNK at least give us all the product support other countries enjoy like australia for example that said the cs team were extremely helpful and UNK to getting my problem solved so would still recommend this device for others wanting reasonable priced ereader 1 electronic conversion was an avid reader of physical books since my conversion to kindle now an avid reader of electronic books 1 so easy to use my first kindle did not have UNK amazon was very helpful in returning it and purchasing new kindle with whispernet just love my kindle so easy to set up order new books and read great purchase 1 kindle wi fi am picky UNK and this gizmo did not disappoint me already downloaded book from the library internet wi fi everything was automatic and super easy also have built in dictionary which use for college it is truly great buy and would do it all over again what amazon should do is have all college textbooks and do mean all able to download onto the kindle they would make killing in sales considering most of the college books buy cost me fortune will UNK never use them again and they take up so much room why not try it ipad did 1 kindle review don like reading from computer screen in contrast this is easier to read than from book and certainly the computer screen 0 no photos and UNK in any magazine or newspaper for UNK finally got my kindle delivered in UNK europe and immediately bought few books added few free books along with couple of newspapers then came the disappointment free books cost us around UNK free and newspapers magazines come with the photos and graphics UNK out this really spoiled everything poor service to an otherwise UNK device amazon please allow UNK to see photos in newspapers even if this can only be downloaded via wifi or pc link vs 3g please make this useful investment 1 great product am first time kindle user have the kindle white love it have not had any problems with my kindle you won be disappointed 1 love it have had my kindle for about weeks now just love it travel lot it is so UNK instead of carrying or books with me have one small light easy to handle devise also purchased the cover with built in book light and am so glad did the cover is UNK protects the kindle and the light extremely UNK in lot of different situations UNK the kindle with 3g as well as wireless as am often off the UNK track and not within easy reach of wireless networks had some doubts about how effective the 3g would be downloading books but it is extremely quick battery life is great as well have charged it once apart from the initial charge although probably didn really need to the battery was looking bit low but still had quit bit of life have few minor quibbles couple of which can really be UNK on amazon or the device it extremely frustrating when find book want only to find it isn available in australia assume this is to do with publishers rather than amazon when flying you have to switch it off for take off UNK like any other electronic device really don want mobile phones allowed on planes but want to be able to read one of my UNK is UNK and have downloaded some UNK books it would be wonderful if could view them in colour haven viewed any magazines on it but imagine that many of them would probably be the UNK for the lack of colour wonder if there is any development being done in this area can no longer swap books with friends and family from my point of view money well spent love the look and the UNK which on the whole outweigh the drawbacks 1 UNK kindle my kindle is the best invention on the planet have been reading days of UNK since UNK in paperback form and would always lose my place when would fall asleep now the kindle keeps the page am on and am actually on chapter 10 and loving it am looking forward to downloading other books when am finished with the current one 1 in love was introduced to the kindle ii by friend of mine last year thought it was great and wanted one the past couple of years found out have severe eye problems that UNK my eyesight was reading books with magnifying glass which was very awkward put the kindle on my wish list and about month ago my husband bought the kindle new generation for me for our anniversary was immediately in love can enlarge the print or it will read to me the new kindle screen is much easier to read no glare than the previous kindle carry it with me almost every time leave the house am looking forward to traveling with it waiting rooms are not so frustrating now several people have asked me about it and think they are sold on it also 1 very good reader almost everything about it is very good so ll just talk about what don like the not UNK of epub which is very common and extended format and standard UNK of course you can convert from epub to mobi but it not the same also you can read pdf but you can have all the options you have with azw or mobi files like UNK the font or taking notes you can convert from pdf to mobi with calibre software but the result isn always as good as expected the browser is kind of crappy and it crashes while loading at least one of the websites they have put in the bookmarks facebook the music player is invisible mean it you can see playlist or even which song you are playing you can just play pause and jump to the next song find it very useless 1 very good but still need some work let me start out by saying that have had kindle k1 since they first came out in addition have been working on and with computers since the late 60 early 70 recently took delivery of kindle k3 as present for my wife did not UNK for the 3g model because am cheap my wife says UNK connecting to the internet with the k3 has been UNK and like many other owners had to also UNK to downloading from amazon to my computer then moving the files from the computer to the k3 documents folder it is cumbersome to do this and takes little more time than g3 connection but this does work after much playing trial and error and UNK use of the language learned while in the us UNK got the k3 working on my home network but it was still not much better if was more than few feet literally from my router get one or two bars at most and the k3 often dropped the network as type this review on my laptop am over 75 feet from my router yet being 10 feet away in the bedroom k3 drops the signal this seems to be UNK problem or UNK problem not just software issue however there is software upgrade available if you have not done so go to and see if it will help you at first it seemed as if my k3 had the most current software version available but once downloaded and installed the early preview of next version my wife k3 started working better almost at once still do not have as good signal in the bedroom but the signal further away is now about dropping to at times will also be downloading and installing the update for the k1 software one of the biggest changes from the k1 to the k3 is that there is no included cover heck the k1 cover was just cheap UNK case but it did offer good protection while shopped for better cover believe that even at the lower price for this k3 without g3 case should have been included just so that you understand really do feel this k3 is vast improvement over the older model have but mine still works the readability of the k3 is way superior to the old screen of the k1 just UNK and UNK better two forward and back buttons on the k3 make navigation much easier with either hand really do miss the numbers but the sym key takes you there the power supply and usb cord in one is great idea charging the from the computer or wall is nice feature storage on the k3 is super do not know how many books can put on but more than enough for any trip always back up on computer anyway lost too much work to cheap UNK said UNK as previously stated readability of books is fantastic do not get this if you are only or primarily interested in pdf formats this is book reader not very good quality in pdf as far as am concerned will leave magazines and newspapers up to you to UNK but now having read books in bright sunlight moving UNK in the back seat not driving and other places kindles work the same as books under the covers at night with UNK or on the beach behind UNK each works great if you never read book under the covers you really do not need kindle my parents used to become very UNK with the number of batteries read through and the sleep missed but books if you are young boy or girl or young at heart get copy of UNK UNK or have space suit will travel and UNK the joy of reading UNK UNK UNK treasure island tom UNK etc UNK this is great product and as soon as amazon figures out the connection problems it will get stars from me buy it use it and UNK the joy of reading in highly portable format update 11 30 2010 all connection problems have gone away able to connect at home or some other wireless locations the wife loves kindle and UNK how to use it she used it extensively while we were on cruise and loves it for all types of books if it broke tomorrow knock UNK she would want replacement as soon as possible 1 great reader this is my first kindle was wondering if would use it very much since basically UNK one who prefers reading an actual physical book the kindle is tremendous bought the 3g version and downloads are super quick most of my reading UNK of the bible and various UNK books and was pleasantly surprised to find some of my favorites as kindle books finding passages in the bible is quite easy after bit of practice and the pages turn very quickly being able to store pdf files is helpful to me also since can store my own documents on the kindle bought cover with the light to go with the kindle and can read in bed at night easily without disturbing my wife real plus was very pleasantly surprised with the kindle definitely going to be using it extensively setup is extremely easy hardly anything to do highly recommended 1 the best ebook reader ve others ebook readers UNK UNK and UNK UNK but this is the best one if had known would have bought it immediately the kindle is the UNK in turning page opening books changing font size the contrast between letters and background is perfect everything is better UNK recommended 0 can change the battery myself won buy kindle until they come out with version that allows for battery replacement by the user shipping it back to amazon and waiting to get another one is just UNK who thought of this 1 love it love my kindle it is UNK easy to use downloading is breeze operating it is so simple am so glad bought it 1 love my new kindle the kindle is perfect format for reading my books and articles it is very functional and easy to use it holds battery charge for few weeks and the view of the panel is very clear no matter the surrounding lighting the wifi is little tricky but once that over with the connectivity is good be prepared to spend additional money if you wish to take advantage of the books and news because you ll have to pay for almost everything and it could be more expensive than buying from your local store however for convenience purposes you ll probably buy through amazon anyway good luck if you purchase one you ll be very pleased with it compared to similar products 1 kindle 3rd generation the best reader out there as an author and publisher am constantly reading read for business read for pleasure since my own books are available in the kindle format it was just matter of time before bought one was waiting to see what UNK amazon would make to the kindle by the third generation at ounces and thinner than no pencil from front to back the kindle3 is just what wanted at 139 usd the latest kindle is the best electronic book reader available anywhere since publish lots of historical UNK and reference materials was thrilled to be able to connect the new kindle to my laptop and drag ready made books straight to the device everything worked without hitch the ink technology used in the kindle3 is easy on the eyes and beats UNK units with color lcd screens that are worthless in sunlight bought the UNK leather case to protect my new kindle and highly recommend it used to read books on palm UNK UNK but the new kindle3 is far superior kudos to amazon for fantastic product it truly is new and improved 1 great for reading received this as gift few weeks ago was an avid reader through my UNK and stopped reading just over 10 years ago UNK this to too much work read lot for work and am UNK also my vision has UNK making it difficult to read smaller print and is it just me or is print getting smaller each year the solution was UNK or so thought the problem with UNK was ability to see fine contrast was greatly UNK while have 20 20 vision the loss of contrast makes it even more difficult to read fine print reading to my children is difficult unless have bright light and large thick fonts the bright lights defeats the purpose of setting the mood for them to sleep thinner fonts are difficult to read even if large type reading glasses were tried but the headaches from looking up at UNK UNK beyond the reading page were not worth it along came the kindle and have read more in the few weeks ve had it than in the last 10 years it so nice to read again even turn the tv off to read now can set the type size and there is no backlight realized what had heard about all along that reading for work at computer screen was tiring me out because of the strain caused by backlighting have UNK many of my work files and documents to the kindle to further UNK UNK to the computer monitor glare and back light the one downside discovered last night is that some kindle books bought at amazon with text tables are not very readable they are coming out as light gray scale pdf like copies that cannot be UNK in think of poor UNK that has been reduced to fit on page and is hard to read these tables are text tables but the fonts cannot be UNK up in size and cannot find way to zoom in to make them legible also the tables are displayed in such light gray it is very difficult to make out tried my handy magnifying glass but quality of UNK was too poor ll need to get the paper version also cannot find way to send ebooks as gift to different kindle user sure there must be way other than those gripes it is fun to read again especially the free classics like mark UNK UNK UNK 1 kindle am having trouble putting the books ve read into archive or UNK them other than that love the convenience 1 great have had my kindle for couple of weeks can take it everywhere it fits in my handbag take it to church because have downloaded my bible am learning more about it each time use it it is easy to use and downloading items from the kindle store is easy the ability to increase the size of the font is big plus also using headphones and listening to the book being read to me is nice feature the voice leaves bit to be desired UNK with no inflection in the UNK would recommend the kindle to anyone who enjoys reading 1 getting lost love this thing ve downloaded stories haven read in ages alot of them free stories mostly forgotten but was pulled right back into new books which normally waited to get at the library because there no more room for any books anymore minute or less and there they are can change the font to UNK when forget my UNK checked around and for the price and features this suited me it lightweight and easy to hold for hands that don work as well as they used to at least for me just wish every book wanted was available but ll put my word in keep getting lost in the words just what was looking for 1 kindle fine piece of kit if you know its limitations recently purchased kindle display and can say very happy with the reading of native kindle books on it however one of the main reasons bought it was to read pdf files while on the train bus etc and here there is an inherent flaw the kindle displays your pdf file one page at time unless you UNK the print on the screen which all makes sense but when you UNK on the screen you then are forced to scroll left and right as the kindle cannot UNK the text feature of the more secure nature of pdf file not major issue if you have the original of the pdf file and can modify it to more acceptable font size for smaller screen reading but if you are reading pdf of journals UNK reports etc as was it makes the whole experience too cumbersome to bother with you can UNK the screen to landscape view instead of portrait which can help if the font is UNK large and have successfully read some files that way but if the print is 10 or 11 point font then you ll need better sight than have with my glasses on but as reader of native kindle files downloaded from amazon ll admit to being very impressed incredibly easy to use excellent resolution comfortable in the hand and brilliant to read from in full sun keep in mind that the screen is not backlit at all so you cannot read it in low lighting conditions don have the optional kindle light but if UNK more at night be interested to try it there is music player built in that plays the tracks in memory in the order they were placed there and the sound quality is ok through my portable headphones no UNK so there my UNK it acceptable for on bus trip which is when ve used it the purchase and downloading of books is effortless when done direct to the kindle tried to download the book to my pc for transfer to the kindle via usb and had some issues with that process working when UNK from the pc to send direct to the kindle received the file and in australia within 60 seconds of UNK the purchase order on the amazon website many older classics are available for free as well disappointed that as yet no australian magazines or newspapers are available for kindle and have UNK one magazine directly who said not at this time so hopefully that could change in the future the current options of news and magazines don particularly interest me but live in hope that will change yet to check blog functionality so no comment there also have not attempted to convert other file types to kindle as yet something need to try for some older books in different formats from past device overall an impressive product that does almost everything like it to do love an option for the kindle to UNK pdf to fit screen magnification changes but not holding my UNK think stars is fair assessment 1 hubby kindle don have time to read so bought kindle for my lucky husband he is really quite thrilled with it and loves showing it to all his UNK at first thought the screen rather dull but it terrific for reading outdoors it definitely UNK glare and strain my daughter also likes to borrow her dad kindle and gets lost in it for hours on end so have ordered her one of her own as christmas present she can bring it along on the family holiday trip just talking about the UNK kindle reading device wi fi display graphite it simple and so far works very well for us 1 great device have had kindle for many months and recently bought new one for my wife think that says it all read my UNK every week cover to cover because always have it with me always have all of the books am reading with me including things like dictionary and weight and UNK conversions can quickly get new books from virtually anywhere it is so much better than regular books for travel it does not UNK into my eyes like an ipad or computer the only reason for the rating was that while great it isn perfect concerned that when need new battery understand amazon replaces the whole kindle and lose it during the process the function where you save clippings sounded great to me until found out you cannot UNK single clip but must UNK all of them at once would like slightly larger screen but not big one you can please everyone it is little slower than think it should be to change pages and start up after being turned off the only one really dislike is the battery problem fixing the UNK function would be great the others are minor 1 kindle is the best gift ever bought myself purchased my kindle last year as gift to myself love it and recommend it to everyone who will listen to me have bought more this year for my husband my three kids and my mother in law soon believe will get two more for my parents recently was sitting at an airport waiting for my flight when finished my latest book in about 30 seconds was able to download my next read before UNK the plane and read it on the way home awesome UNK UNK 1 we are now great UNK of the kindle we love the kindle we downloaded number of books and word games there are many classic titles that are available free of charge which is great spring for the 3g model it is UNK to have this feature for 50 extra with no additional charges excellent value for the money 1 best reader for the price perhaps even best overall the kindle 3g is great reader and costs very little for all the value it provides it costs less than many other readers and delivers more than most of them there are tons of free books available for it on amazon and even more books which are very affordable bought about dozen books which cost between 99 and 99 and hundreds of free books listed for 00 found many books on amazon which are no longer in print as UNK dead tree books paper books there are UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK texts science fact books science fiction novels UNK UNK books whatever you could want the k3 does not read epub files so that limits your ability to borrow books from libraries don mind as prefer to own my books have had no battery downloading or other problems with my UNK so far have UNK it to all my friends and family like the text to speech UNK the ability to adjust font style and size and line spacing the ability to search the texts and to add notes highlights the ability to group books into collections the light weight the button placement the general ease of use and more the kindle 3g wifi is the best 189 00 have ever spent it is not an UNK it is an investment 1 really like it just bought kindle wifi 3g from UNK near by my home actually almost give up to buy this because if try to buy from amazon has to wait for weeks to ship out 1 leaving paper books for good love the new kindle haven been much of reader these past few years ok about UNK but got my kindle two days ago and have been reading ever since it very easy to read on and someone who has little trouble reading off an lcd screen and at 139 it hard to beat since finishing my UNK have been looking to get back my love of reading but living in UNK box apartment don have space to build up physical library in fact need to UNK more books from my current paper book library the only issue have and this is minor now is that some books are not available for the kindle all UNK of the UNK war by UNK UNK but believe amazon can put the thumb UNK on the publishers dragging their feet and get them to release kindle versions of their books and there are plenty of the classics and other books available for me to read while wait for the various publishers to get their thumbs out of their 1 drink apple UNK UNK am writing this review from one of our mac computers am on the UNK wireless network and can wait for them to get the iphone that said when it comes to being what this is an ebook the kindle is far superior purchased this as gift for my wife and for once did actual research when saw someone with an ipad ask if they liked reading books on it most of them said they didn read books on theirs asked minimum of 20 people when asked them to show me how it works they would show me all the bells and whistles but when asked them what do they use it for the answer was always the same you can use it for anything personally like the ipad because you can use it for anything however if you are real reader which my wife is the kindle is the best fit really can see the day that everybody has kindle of their own am glad don own bookstore 1 why kindle the new kindle from amazon is amazing it is the perfect tool to UNK books games and even the internet kindle has so many different options for font size page viewing and lighting really love the experimental features and that can play music on my kindle while reading the 3g kindle is just perfect 1 best UNK ve owned my kindle for years and it wonderful gave as gifts this month to our UNK and they both said it was the best gift they have ever received 1 fantastic put simply the latest generation kindle is fantastic UNK thin extremely light amazing functionality the ink technology is UNK no glare from the screen and no bright lcd display staring back at you and causing eyestrain it just like reading an actual book but better it the smallest and UNK book you ll ever carry and the 3g feature is fantastic get wireless connection anywhere and everywhere can say enough about the battery life ve had my kindle for month and haven charged the battery since got it and still have of the battery life left have not had the wireless on but use it every morning and evening on my commute great battery life would highly highly recommend this kindle 1 kindle easy to see for ink panel control for excellent user interface and purchase for web shop if touch panel is there it is perfect but keeping price is more important 1 how did ever read without it the kindle is fantastic it is light comfortable practical and refreshing the beauty of the kindle is found in its simplicity its intuitive and easy to use and still has the power to deliver you over 700 000 books 1 love it ve read three books so far on my new kindle and am very pleased with my purchase it easy on the eyes and allows me to adjust the font as my eyes become tired it light weight and fits easily into my purse take it everywhere with me so if having to wait for any reason pull out my book and read my only slight disappointment is that currently not every book want to read is available on kindle hopefully in time that will be resolved for future versions it would be nice if there could be an optional backlight like on cell phones so it could easily be read in low light 1 love my kindle if could rate it 10 stars would love everything about it especially how cheap and easy it is to buy books 1 kindle and linux perfect combo the kindle needs just one more UNK to be absolutely perfect how about kindle linux platform love my kindle and love UNK and would like to be able to download kindle to UNK and transfer books to my iphone kindle etc not to mention read books on UNK 1 my recent purchase received my kindle few months ago as an early christmas gift really enjoy it ve found all kinds of cheaper easier books to buy for it wish you did have more of wider selection of independent book UNK however the kindle did have one issue early on it froze but amazon support helped me and ve had no problems since happy with my new electronic toy and hope to keep enjoying it for years to come 1 perfect at bedside for UNK readers after reading in bed for years with laptop just purchased my first kindle the wifi only version perhaps unlike many kindle owners don consider myself an avid book reader but do like to read short stories and UNK both in english and french the ability to set the default dictionary to french has been fantastic there are several reasonable english french dictionaries in the kindle store the ability to quickly look up words has really UNK the way read with the latest generation kindle my wifi only model has been perfect for reading before bed the crisp text is pleasure after reading from computer screen all day and the long battery life at least weeks in my hands means can focus on the material and not UNK the device perhaps best of all can UNK and relax which is often difficult with laptop email facebook and other distractions just click away 1 better than nook and others excellent reader have received the kindle for my birthday and was comparing it to other readers that my friends are using kindle is so much better it can read aloud and it can access web for free from anywhere in us the screen is so much better that the nook screen next thing am going to try is to load kindle with travel UNK and take it with me to europe will report if can access web from there 1 kindle wifi good device in handling and reading but the zoom function is not optimal UNK is does not support epub for german users an important file format 1 reading twice as much the kindle is great the good easy to read the screen fairly easy interface once you remember its not touchscreen great battery life the read the book feature is UNK good but don know that be able to listen to it for too long the bad the stupid screensaver that puts random books on the screen when you turn it off amazon should get rid of that the limitation of book choices for the australian market if you want to buy kindle and you live in oz make sure you look up few dozen books you want to read and make sure they are available before buying it while you can browse the web wouldn bother not being able to gift kindle books is stupid worst if you don password lock the kindle and someone else turns it on they can buy books with your credit card no UNK needed make sure you password lock it despite that there seems more bad than good in this review do enjoy reading on it just wish that all the books previously bought UNK amazon would UNK automatically get added or get heavily discounted for the kindle version 1 best buy ever absolutely in love with this kindle it easy to use easy to purchase books tons of free ones if you look for them and absolutely wonderful makes it easy to read anytime since it fits in my purse and goes everywhere with me am finding myself looking UNK to waiting rooms now buy yourself screen protector and cover for it and you re ready to hit the road it holds it charge forever it seems too 1 kindle delivers all the features read on the kindle have been as described the over all size is light and easy to take anywhere reading is easy have not had to adjust the font size with the touch of the menu button many functions are available with the wifi on the battery last week easily buying books prefer to use my computer to view book selections and with click its sent to my kindle like the dictionary function for quick word description the kindle looks well made have only had it roughly month and no problems so far wanted to start reading more and the kindle has helped me pick up reading again 1 not necessary to buy 3g bought the one with 3g pay 30 month for my mobile data plan so 50 for life time free 3g sounds attractive but soon realized it not useful at all kindle screen flashes when it turns pages this is not problem when you read but becomes UNK when you browse web page more important since multiple windows is not supported you can open link when it is designed to UNK out new window rather than go to the address directly you will barely use 3g to deliver documents because amazon actually charges fee for delivery via 3g and the rate is not quite low so why not just use free wifi delivery it is fantastic ebook reader but its web browser is not good enough to use for now 1 wow just got my kindle and it is amazing was concerned about the small screen forget it the default print is very easy to read and with the options of print size and line spacing person with very poor vision can read easily it does all that amazon says it will do the read anywhere screen is yep amazing sharp bright easily seen really like audio books but have found that pieces get missed with the audio read feature have the best of both worlds 1 just an reader not techie thought UNK buyers might want to know what fairly non techie person might say about the kindle bought kindle 3g wi fi and have enjoyed reading on it every day since received it early this month am amazed at how easy it is to hold in one hand quickly learned where to grasp it and how to hold it turning pages is easy checking dictionary definitions is also quickly learned this feature has been helpful in my current read have older eyes and set the print and font with extra white space between the letters and used sans serif font prefer can read the kindle with ease ordered my kindle from amazon after downloading the kindle for pc onto my laptop recommend doing this for an electronic device you already have and know it will help you understand the actual kindle the books had purchased arrived archived on the new kindle it took little time to be up and reading when you decide to buy this device recommend buying case at the same time thought about which one would suit me and am happy with my choice built case that UNK and UNK the kindle chose the kindle with 3g because travel lot but find prefer to download books via the pc using whispernet if you have network in your home you might well decide not to choose the 3g have not been able to use the web browser well yet guess am too busy reading do miss the feel of book in my hand not really will it replace all books for me probably not but it definitely will affect what buy in the future to read if you are reader who has always thought about reading certain classic books fiction or nonfiction you will have great selection for the kindle at free or reasonable prices UNK 2010 this is an addition to the review wrote in october since ordered the graphite kindle have called and returned it gotten another returned it and UNK white kindle 3g both graphite kindles had the problem of the letters and symbols rubbing off the buttons the first replacement had broken way key returned the 2nd graphite kindle and ordered new white model continue to love this reader customer service is very good if you have problem with your kindle you will be able to talk to an UNK quite easily the UNK are UNK to fix your problems but can recommend the super cool graphite model 1 what relief not UNK UNK is my husband and he gave me this kindle for our UNK UNK anniversary he is the UNK guy on the planet now for the kindle review love it love it love it easy to read easy to operate instant books and my arthritis thanks you for the lightweight thin design everyone should have one of these now how do get his name off the screen 1 fantastic product kindle has nice improvements on several UNK which come together for great upgrade smaller lighter clearer worth the upgrade from

UNK UNK 1 mostly as advertised bought the new kindle with great expectations since travel often on airplanes and wanted convenient way to carry reading material thus far the kindle has worked as expected did receive book via wifi while overseas and that was cool only concern so far is that the device failed to keep the memory of bookmarks few times so had to search for the last page read not sure if this is the particular device have or common to kindles would recommend this device to any UNK 1 love it love it love our kindle it is very readable and easy to use it has improved my relationship with my wife as when we go shopping UNK out my kindle and pass the time reading whatever book have active at the time also we spend 12 months year away from english language book stores months UNK UNK and months UNK kindle allows us to have full access to books regardless of where we are 1 very good for me have various books to read books about anti war anti UNK or novels but there was problem when read book need electronic dictionary because am japanese and know perhaps only 5000 english words this dictionary problem has long UNK the amount of my reading kindle solved this problem now put 20 or more books articles into my kindle always carry my kindle in bag and read something anytime very convenient 1 my thoughts about my kindle3 this is my first book purchase just arrived last night stopped short looking for suitable book readers long while back many of which had limitations and price to consider compared to UNK but that history now opened the package looks UNK fragile held it in my hands wow loving it already now my netbook can help by not UNK my hands while standing in my crowded train rides still love netbook charged it for while then UNK the picture is on the screen and not the protective film wow again was thinking how nice of amazon to pack nice looking film picture just to cover the otherwise UNK screen which would be waste of printing which brought me to think that my kindle actually had wonderful 11 day UNK in standby mode light enough to hold UNK definitely its something looking for to read while travelling on public transport the size of k3 is wonderful not too large to be UNK or post much UNK the fonts are wonderful reading is simply pleasure must say looking forward to the long usage times without need to recharge too frequently yes have read about backlight issues everywhere it the one thing feel missing it doesnt have to be backlit ink ink is great on its own can this even be supported on ink read so much UNK on this issue don think UNK for backlight actually meant lcd backlit kind of technology on ink just add switch able backlight UNK UNK UNK UNK whatever into this device somehow and you have truly buy once read everywhere kindle3 right now its buy once read everywhere bring reading light for dark conditions though sorry if you are UNK in an UNK without one right now to pass time while help is on the way oh wait your mobile phone can provide you some light oh it maybe easier to use the smartphone to read than holding devices reminds me of UNK powered UNK concept instructions to use it in the dark use battery operated UNK preferred and shine onto the UNK powered UNK to operate UNK sorry but no UNK intended here but there are UNK reasons UNK needs for backlight on such wonderful device just short of perfect as with almost all display technologies most display technologies itself would have some form of UNK UNK between them assume ink UNK the same given the UNK on wiki correct me if wrong here on actual technology some light passing thru this UNK might solve the read in the darkness UNK etc same thing for mobile phones using ink which user would want to play random number call for help in the darkness just add light to it voila it is pretty silly to buy reading night light to clip to your ink mobile phone right k3 is sleek and nice already don need UNK to break it any further larger or UNK storage would be great addition so much said above my key gripe is the lack of reading in low light darkness capabilities with k3 don need constantly backlit display just need to be able to light it up in low light conditions to UNK my reading UNK without 3rd party equipment sticking out when necessary however if the solution drains the battery and operating times substantially please don just UNK it UNK to the market then take the time to look for better solution chose kindle for this long operating hours fact too surprise me amazon 1 love my new kindle purchased the new kindle reader with wi fi and display the latest generation on september 11 2010 and haven put it down since immediately started ordering books and began my reading UNK it is very easy to find the books want to read and order them the best thing of all is now have these books forever in my kindle library would reccomend this product to all my friends it is so easy to operate and the instruction UNK UNK everything in detail one of the UNK purchases ve ever made and everyone knows what to get me for christmas UNK etc an amazon gift card of course thanks for great product 1 love my kindle every year when am travelling carry books with me weight UNK no more this year purchased my kindle recommended by my friend and love it have already recommended it to at least people there might be run on it for christmas this is so good much better than the kobo well done amazon 1 kindle 3g it great ride the bus every day to work and used to carry paperbacks with me but now just carry my kindle it really nice to read comfortable weight simple to use it remembers all my bookmarks it had problem with occasionally restarting by itself but that seems to have been fixed with the latest software update it bit cumbersome when using the internet but didn buy it to surf with bought it to read books with all in all really happy with it so far 1 good looking indeed exciting thought it ugly at first time because don like any keyboard on an reader actually prefer UNK UNK but UNK kindle because its new screen and developed contrast but was wrong it beautiful the UNK or scale of the keyboard is perfect since UNK wi fi edition didn expect the graphite color would UNK me anyway it not so UNK but was wrong again love the graphite color because the UNK feeling of this kind of color not black at all makes kindle look more like real book it even lighter than lot of books and love the feeling holding it in my hand it the best buy in my latest three years will buy another one for my husband 1 great product it good for reading use it everyday but rarely use the wifi and 3g so guess could spend less money on it due to the network function 1 kindle review have been using my new kindle for couple of weeks now and absolutely love it it compact and so easy to use carry it with me everywhere it UNK easy to download books magazines etc and the prices on amazon are so reasonable better yet don have to make trip to the bookstore to UNK the latest best seller 1 great reader purchased the original kindle for someone close to me and got the opportunity to use it the new one is nice improvement find it great for reading books just started to have the ny times automatically delivered to it and realized how much better it is to get my new this way am not looking for an internet experience UNK am sure future kindles will have it for reading books it is perfect easy to read almost everywhere and to carry around considered the dx version and the ipad but decide against them due to size and am glad did am sure they are nice for reading and the internet but the size would UNK there usefulness 1 kindle 3g love my kindle 3g it is just what needed to store books read everyday even when travel my biggest problem was UNK books but now with the kindle reader it is not so cumbersome thanks to the kindle can carry lots of books with ease 1 kindle 3g wireless new generation this is by far the best birthday present have bought for myself will highly recommend this device to anybody 1 kindle 3g vs wifi purchased the kindle 3g and really love it got my husband the kindle wifi and that was ok but we decided to replace it with the 3g the difference in price is not worth the UNK if you are not in wifi area amazon was great with the return since it was within the UNK return period we had no problem my husband and share our home account and because of that we can share books because when you finish book it goes into archives and he can get it out very easy to buy books and they downloaded so fast recommend this to everyone it is so great not to carry those books around any more 1 amazon kindle absolutely great transferred all my books onto it display is superb like reading real book best money ever spent small drawback because of the screen size you have to turn pages more often that with real paper book but this does not detract from the unit at all it great for travelling much lighter than books etc if you haven got one then you should 1 love my kindle love my kindle sooooo easy to operate out of the box and start reading throw in my handbag and go stop for coffee or waiting for the kids have my kindle take trip no need to pack books or buy another at the airport this is great 1 new generation kindle wifi after reading all the reviews good and bad opted for the latest kindle wifi only because don travel abroad just couldn pass up the great price especially when my friend gave me 50 gift card am so impressed with my kindle it slim light weight and easy to read no more carrying bulky books around UNK with paperbacks flipping pages or book UNK haven had any problems yet and don UNK any no didn purchase the year extended warranty remember the extended coverage begins the day you purchase it which is really only year because the kindle already has year UNK warranty know should worry UNK and dropping it but didn think it was necessary to spend the additional money book purchases can be expensive recommend it to anyone wanting to purchase good reader based on my experience 1 owner for year have had my kindle the white version right before this one and UNK my review until now to ensure that would give an UNK opinion of this device pros UNK the living space from piles of books traveling with the kindle is amazing great for standing in lines UNK on airplanes kids UNK practice etc ability to read genres you normally wouldn many free books UNK kids to read more they think the kindle is really cool games to play on it lightweight have carpal tunnel in both wrists cons battery seems to run out quickly not incredibly organized although haven really tried hard to manage my books there have been reviews about the screen or not lighted or whatever but in terms of UNK really can complain wanted it to read books and an reader is not going to be the same as book wasn expecting it to be this super UNK dime earth UNK thing that changed my life for what it is love it 1 kindle 3g quite remarkable product indeed it does what it should do no fancy unnecessary things that you would and should not need if you do buy an ipad can only UNK the amazon team for this amazing product well done stick to the core business and make the product better with the next release pros and improvements pros UNK packaging simple to understand to improve usability of pdf documents cheaper books as it is an electronic version buy in more book UNK so more book offerings speed up the UNK conclusion buy if you want books on the go with product that is and should improve being the market leader in this market UNK its worth UNK 1 love my kindle love my new kindle have advanced macular degeneration and had not been able to read books for many years now with the ability to increase the font size one of many useful features on the kindle am enjoying reading again 1 love my kindle beyond my expectations also purchased the lighted cover which uses the kindle battery which is great two suppose people have lot of suggestions about how to improve the kindle like real color but then it would not be kindle the electronic paper is everything it is advertised to be if were to add anything it would be the ability to make playlists for the background music to fit the mood if were to do it over might purchase the kindle with the 3g also 1 kindle 3g wireless love my kindle have vision problem and this enables me to enlarge the print and let me enjoy the UNK enjoy alot and that is read have bought books in the past but with large print they are quit pricey 1 glad to have it great ebook and worthwhile buy but nevertheless when kindle fails to load wikipedia or google in countries outside of us in my case south korea the value somewhat UNK also the books seem quite expensive as it is sold at UNK price than paperback 1 UNK not sure would like an reader but thought would give it try the kindle 3g is fantastic as with everything it does take time and practice to really learn how to use it that process for me is UNK like that can download books so fast UNK them keep up with where am in particular book and take library with me wherever go in such compact fashion recommend this product wholeheartedly 1 it UNK new world for this lifelong reader love my new kindle must admit had some reservations prior to ordering since some folks apparently have had problems with the kindle new software however took the plunge and bought mine in oct 2010 and have not been sorry far from it this has been UNK love downloading free samples of books buying new books and having them delivered literally within seconds saving money due to the reduced price of kindle books and having library at my fingertips took the kindle on vacation and it was so cool to carry all these books right at hand wherever happened to be on the plane in hotel room in park wherever bought the smaller kindle with 3g my husband already had the larger kindle and now he UNK of mine because it so lightweight and easy to hold 1 kindle purchased the kindle 3g wireless reading device and love it carry it everywhere it is so nice to be able to download books as want to read them 1 kindle my son in law bought this for my daughter and ever since receiving her kindle she is using it constantly and is very pleased with the product 1 love the machine but not the green screen in UNK attempt to allow me to indulge by book UNK without having to load down my suitcase when taking trips my adult children gave me the kindle when it first came out have loved it and decided it was time to pass it down to my book UNK granddaughter and to try the the kindle it way more UNK than the kindle which appreciate less appreciated is the screen which looks quite green my granddaughter says it only looks green well 1 kindle 3g with wifi think the kindle 3g is fun to read and the screen is quite readable during all kinds of different light situations the 3g makes it quite fast when ordering books the only drawback that think is concern is that it is not easy to navigate thru the menu to understand all that it is capable of doing 1 kindle UNK is awesome am UNK reader and was very pleased when the kindle was originally introduced as it allowed me to read lot while saving money cheaper books and saving space less books to store have had all versions of the kindle and have to say the the latest generation is the best love the size as it is more convenient to hold and carry and even fits in my purse the new placement of the buttons and UNK keypad is wonderful no more fumbling around my eyes are not what they used to be so the changes to the display make the text crisper and easier to read bought this with the lighted book cover and although wish the light would cover more of the page am pleased with having light that runs off the kindle battery my UNK light required couple of UNK batteries week so this new concept is saving me money too all in all the UNK kindle is absolutely the best book reader have used would recommend that anyone who uses their kindle lot upgrade to this version simply for the convenience in my opinion any flaws can be easily overlooked 0 wifi kindle that can connect to wifi problem was excited to get my wifi kindle opted for this version because have wifi at home and could handle the just syncing my kindle while was there was quite surprised when entered my password and was UNK with an error message UNK unable to connect to the wifi network tried several times before restarted the machine only to have the same error pop up this process continued for the next couple of days thinking that maybe when tried it something weird UNK was UNK to my network even though every other wireless device had worked fine manually entered the network information and tried using static ip address no matter what tried failed to connect to the network finally decided to contact customer support as was out of ideas was told that didn have the latest software so updated the software and still had problem contacted customer support again this time was asked what type of router had answered that have an apple airport express the representative kindly told me that is your problem the apple router and the kindle don work together so let me get this straight perfectly good wireless router which handles every other wireless device have does not work with the kindle so have wifi kindle that doesn connect to my apple router yes can transfer via usb and go to hotspot and connect there that is not the point purchased the wifi version so could sit at my house and not have to worry about going to hotspot or manually transferring disappointed that this information is not listed anywhere on the product page and am also disappointed that device UNK to be wifi version only connects to certain brands of routers 1 if you really want reader have been thinking get reader for while it really hard to make my mind after ipad launched read lots of opinion from people finally got my kindle am so glad got my kindle not ipad ipad price is about twice higher than kindle kindle also can get on internet the function is not fancy but still can check at my email or some UNK if really want to do something on internet will just go my computer for these UNK got mine love the size so convenient to read books any place don need to carry thick tool books or hold thick book when lazy or want to read on my bed it also has two books of dictionary can check some key words if need don need to carry dictionary with me thank you high tech 1 new kindle rocks my husband got me kindle for my birthday in may and didn think like it but both my husband and fell in love with it so bought my husband the latest generation kindle for his birthday in september the difference in size and the way button are nice we love our kindles 1 kindle 3g wireless outstanding value love this device been reading some free material from the kindle site the only issue is the price of some of the books ve found hardbacks actually cheaper than some of the prices on the site the books should be at least 50 cheaper than the printed versions 1 travel made easy before owning kindle one of my biggest headaches was trying to pack enough books for reading during our 90 day stay in foreign country where books in english were not readily available the kindle has solved that problem for me have owned my kindle for almost year and don have one complaint about it was one of the UNK love books love to turn the pages love the feel of the book in my hand people but have to say for the hours and hours of travel we do am so happy with my kindle and the extra space now have in my luggage our past 90 days out of the us read 72 books am well on my way to that number again this time thanks for great product 1 UNK kindle have been reader all my life when discovered the kindle was truly amazed at how convenient it was to use began with the kindle and enjoyed it very much have recently purchased kindle wi fi and extremely pleased with the changes such as battery life background brightness and speed have highly recommended it to others and believe they are in the process of purchasing 1 perfect for reading anywhere the latest generation kindle has screen that is easy to read in nearly every lighting condition including outdoors in the sunlight and indoors in UNK lit room the wireless delivery of books is fast and the wireless delivery of newspaper subscriptions lets me easily read the news whether am on the train or sitting at coffee shop the battery life is quite good even with wireless turned on experimental features like the web browser and having the unit read to you are fun and can be useful in certain UNK ie don want to break out the laptop to check website the first unit received developed screen problem but the unit was quickly replaced next day and there have been no problems with the second unit overall feel this generation kindle is the best choice available for an reader with nice balance of price performance features and customer service 1 very high quality product but glad didn buy it have used my friends kindle and love it buyer beware though the good very high quality great ergonomics unbelievable contrast you have to see it to believe it long battery life the bad you have to send the unit back to amazon once the battery needs replacing the UNK was going to order my kindle today but glad didn also planned on ordering ken follett fall of giants when noticed that the book price was higher than hardcover copy of the book seriously amazon can pay less for copy of the book that had to be printed bound stored and shipped that UNK upon further review saw few other books with the same pricing issue it sucks because really looked forward to getting kindle but just can do it now out of UNK this pricing UNK makes no logical sense at all at least ll be able to give my friend the hardcover copy when done reading it 1 good so far so far this is just what wanted and expected the only thing is there is no backlight so if you are in the dark make sure you still have book light but hey that what would have to do if this was heavy book had to lug around anyway so really no big deal love my kindle 1 definitely worth the UNK even though offer limited for non us after some weeks of use am very satisfied with the kindle 3g in my case readability is perfect and very UNK adapted to my needs UNK in bed or standing in old UNK UNK connectivity allows updates and purchase on the air very easily the only point to improve concerns the books offer in other than english am french and live in germany the offer in both these languages is quite limited and have to rely on third party libraries in order to meet satisfactory offer this means that the 3g wifi in this particular case cannot be used need my computer as well most of the libraries in UNK rely on the adobe epub drm format epub as start is problematic on the kindle even though some solutions exist drm epub on the UNK force the UNK reader to follow some obscure UNK in order to benefit from the wider non english book offer fully understand the decision from amazon to keep epub out of the kindle so far for the reliability of the kindle amazon store link respect that but sometimes find book would like to have on my kindle just to read this book is not for sale outside the us this can be frustrating for some users to end up this comment on my experience am vary happy with the product with some basic UNK have access to any book available electronically which can purchase 1 great product after reading many other reviews was little anxious to buy the kindle many people reported program issues with the kindle freezing broken power connections etc but took the dive and bought one love it very light the texture adds just little extra comfort keypad is similar to any of today qwerty keyboard smart phones and UNK just as easily the screen is super clear ll have to admit that when opened the package tried to peel the picture sticker off the screen for bit before realized it was just in sleep mode with screen saver it was just that clean and crisp haven had single issue with my kindle yet and have had it well over month now would recommend UNK the battery as you should with any UNK battery device couple times to extend the battery life to it month capacity UNK is fully charging the device then running it down completely before recharging it again admittedly there are power UNK that decrease the battery life faster downloading new books surfing the web not great but worked very well in pinch when my phone died using the kindle lighted leather cover light which doesn drain it nearly as fast as you think playing game etc all in all this product exceeded my expectations with it quality if had to pick something about the kindle to complain about it would be that didn buy so my wife would stop taking mine but that not the products fault 1 better than thought ok good the kindle has more features than required that good good it is easier to read and use than thought that good good and bad the other day decided wanted specific book the g3 wireless let me have it right then that good and bad good because really wanted it bad because it appears that going to be spending much more on books than did in the past for me that saying something bad the little cursor keys are really tiny if they could be just bit bigger bad it appears that amazon can UNK the contents of my kindle downloaded free copy of the UNK papers from project gutenberg and suddenly amazon is asking me to review that title 1 muy buena UNK al leer UNK eacute el kindle la UNK UNK de amazon UNK excelente UNK UNK este formato me ha UNK muy aacute cil la compra de libros es muy simple UNK que al UNK del UNK muy UNK el precio de libros UNK oacute UNK en amazon sea muy pero muy UNK en UNK los de UNK al UNK no es UNK UNK la UNK la lectura de pdf UNK esta muy bien ha UNK mi UNK de lectura al UNK al formato prc UNK UNK 1 exactly what had wanted and bit more ve had the k3 for about weeks now and feel have good enough grasp to post review post star but to even out all the negative star reviews from UNK about amazon out of stock or not even purchasing the k3 in the first place decided to star it 139 perfect price cheaper of course is always nice but this is an extremely affordable reader that does exactly what it UNK to do allow us to read books held out on previous versions of the kindle sony readers etc due to price but at this reason is now UNK ve charged it once when got it and now almost weeks later it still at 45 power read about hours day have wi fi off to save battery it thin stylish and the text is extremely clear with light had UNK collection of free public books and had been going through about book month with the k3 am UNK week the convenience due to the size and battery life has helped me tremendously for that am extremely satisfied wi fi connected without hassle for me the experimental text to speech reader is UNK can wait until an update that tells the voice to recognize periods UNK UNK marks etc right now it just UNK single speed voice reader but even with that for this price is sweet my friend had lent me his ipad for few weeks and the reviews are of course accurate it is much better to view magazines newspaper and pictures on it but the reason is obvious color screen versus the paperback UNK paper of the kindle the price difference is quite large as well in the end on the way out the door grab the kindle out of 10 times as personal preference if you want to read the kindle will single UNK UNK the apple product if you want to surf the internet play UNK games social network and the rest of the stuff the ipad is designed just for that hope this review helps as many of you guys UNK reviews have helped me immensely in the past bought second one for my mother hope she uses it as much as do 1 glad bought the k3 made the decision to pass on the k3 loved my kindle and was perfectly happy was also intrigued with the idea of an pad and that beautiful UNK bookshelf when others were bothered by the reading experience on the pad but UNK about the deeper ink on the k3 UNK my earlier decision and decided to gift my kindle to my husband and buy in addition to the deeper ink the is smaller unit not screen and lighter very glad bought the kindle 1 amazing device love it it easy to use huge selection of inexpensive books ll be reading more and watching less tv now 1 excellent in white love my kindle knew would have read so many reviews both the good and the bad have never seen such loyal following if someone rates the kindle poorly they can expect several follow up comments and solutions was extremely impressed because people really believe in this product first ordered the 3g in graphite my first impression was it was awesome however the gray frame really was distracting for me and my eye would notice it more than wanted it all seemed bit UNK to me but it was nice looking then the numbers started coming off so knew needed to return it wasn sure if should get another graphite or try the white one was hoping to see it in the white before ordering it went to the stores that carry it target best buy and they both had only the graphite model display at the time so ordered the white kindle in hopes that would like it better which was scary when got it knew that was the one for me reading was so much easier for me on the white had the graphite with the white kindle for few days and compared the two the graphite background appeared lighter but the words seemed much UNK than the white kindle the white kindle seemed to have darker background but the words seemed darker and crisper know this might all be due to the different UNK of the frame and the UNK they provide but wow it really seemed significant also love being able to see the keyboard easily without any strain didn realize how much had to work to see the letters on the graphite until used the white kindle and it was as clear as letters on page have had the white kindle for as long as had the graphite and the letters still look perfect this gives me hope did like the look of the graphite however due to the improved reading experience for me white is just right 0 poor pdf support on latest generation kindle find the pdf support in the latest generation kindle to be poor at best none of the links that make pdf functional are supported added an UNK documentation pdf to my kindle and find it pretty much useless without the ability to use the UNK links it is not functional think that support of pdf should be UNK to limited support of pdf in any product description had know that true pdf functionality was not supported would not have purchased the kindle 1 kindle this is great product with storage for the charger and small set of headphones for audio downloads well worth the money 1 check availability of books in your region not sure what is wrong with africa but so many of the books would like to read are UNK hopefully with time more books will become available the kindle itself is really great if you want to read book cover to cover am sure that with time the functionality of reading book such as the bible will be enhanced 1 needs built in lighting this is great product my wife and love the ability to read the books on the kindle as well as on the computer the thing that would make this better product is some kind of built in lighting back light source or some kind of UNK style light would be great other than that love to kindle 1 kindle is great and the store can only get better am an avid book reader and have enjoyed the kindle product very much classic books are either free or extremely inexpensive the store is okay but needs to be more user friendly in its way of browsing have yet to see all of the results for fiction or any other category because cannot go directly to page UNK instead have to page through one by one each click at time and see many of the same results repeatedly feel that the true heart of the store is UNK with that said it is wonderful product that have recommended and purchased for family and friends it has saved my budget and space on my book shelves 1 love my kindle after much debate between the kindle and the nook finally decided on the kindle and could not be happier with my decision once had the chance to hold the two products and compare in store there was no more debate the kindle feels better in the hand page turns are faster screen is easier to read etc much to my disappointment best buy was out of kindles other than the display so was forced to wait for delivery from amazon when placed my order the estimated delivery date was oct 12 so when UNK it on oct it was welcome surprise am extremely pleased with my purchase 1 kindle being able to get definitions is amazingly helpful with college the free classics are marvelous the kindle is fantastic love it 1 muy muy UNK very very good la UNK oacute de esta compra UNK del UNK UNK UNK UNK para UNK muy buena UNK iacute de UNK oacute lo UNK iacute UNK los men uacute es que se UNK la UNK de UNK los UNK la UNK de UNK es UNK los UNK son muy UNK la UNK iacute es muy UNK el wi fi UNK sin UNK aunque su

aunque el browser no UNK lee todos los websites el UNK de mp3 es aacute UNK por UNK lo UNK estoy muy UNK con la compra 1 great reader got this reader with birthday money and so far am enjoying it am just trying to adjust from holding book in my hand it will be very convenient when go on vacation and don have to pack extra books 1 wifi kindle great for reading had some trouble getting wifi to function was my fault not the kindle 0 four days crashed twice still patiently UNK it for couple days first of all need to say really like this kindle while reading pdf on it got the real paper reading experience and it makes my eyes feel comfortable cause don need to wear the glasses to read it but bad things happened got it on wednesday then next day was so happy to bring it outside to do the reading but when came back and opened it it stuck at the page last visited then tried to hit the home button it left that pdf file when tried to open another file to check whether there was some problems with it it kept opening that only page no matter chose dictionary or user guide or other pdf files then tried to shut it down and UNK it it was still the same so tried to switch it to sleep state and wake it up then it crashed no more response so just left it in my bag for about hours and recharge it to full battery it worked fine like nothing happened but today the same thing happened again and this time it stuck at the browser and crashed finally suddenly realized that might get defective kindle so checked others reviews with rating one star and it seems like that this crash problem is very common hope it is just software problem and amazon can fix it soon and wanna keep my kindle for more couple days to see whether it can work properly all the time otherwise will return it 1 awesome looked into buying different models chose the kindle and am very happy with my purchase reasonably priced and easy to use have recommended this to many friends who are also avid readers the only downside is that now friends know no more books from me was spending fortune buying books not patient enough to wait for paperback versions and now can purchase them for 99 or so 1 love our kindle looked at different readers for months bought the kindle and couldn be happier far better than the others 1 UNK the UNK of rave reviews there very little not to love here ve already read more in the last month with this device than had in the previous year mostly just because it convenient and fits in my backpack can hold it easily in one hand and turn the page and can not to sound like commercial think of book download it and start reading within minute or two assuming have wireless connection didn get the 3g version my only two complaints my UNK two are that you really need case for it and to be truly useful you really need one with light love mine but it was half again the cost of the kindle at least coming with UNK sleeve would be nice also again minor complaint it would be nice to be able to move through the footnotes without having to use the cursor to UNK each one out and once you ve looked at footnote to be able to go back to the footnote you were on instead of resetting the cursor so you have to scroll down through the page but ultimately the UNK paper technology beats the pants off any screen work in front of computer screen all day and there no way want to spend my bus commute or time at home staring at one but the kindle is pleasure 1 love my kindle having been librarian for over 20 years was like UNK UNK from star trek who still liked the feel of UNK book had been looking through the books available for the kindle and really liked the low download prices then found the freebies wow what selection after reading reviews of this version plus the very reasonable price decided to give it try was little leery but became very impressed after my first download the setup was super fast and was reading my first purchase within minutes took it outside on my deck and had no trouble with glare from the sun it is very easy to read in bed or lying on the couch some of my favorite authors produce very heavy books and this is so much easier for my arthritic wrists to handle have had mine for over month and haven had to recharge it yet the battery life is excellent recommend it for voracious readers like myself who want ton of books without taking up lot of space hate long waits at the doctor office and reading old magazines its small size makes it perfect for travel just throw in your purse or tote and take it with you anywhere 1 my kindle reading device am so happy with my kindle have purchased books haven read yet but am enjoying this new concept had books everywhere and now they are all organized in my kindle no more paperbacks hard covers UNK love it 0 my brand new latest generation kindle UNK work in less than two weeks just received my latest generation kindle with wifi two weeks ago and have UNK reading couple of times the night before read some thing for about 20 minutes and turned it off it died the next day thought it might run out of battery however it did not even charge 1 good for school use this mainly for school to cut back on having to print papers out can do my UNK on it and transfer it to word document have started putting my UNK on it on it is easier UNK computer have read book UNK it was fine the reason it UNK get five stars was the transfer size of some pdfs they are either really tiny or you have to enlarge them so much it UNK them but overall it works great for school now instead of UNK around two to three books notebooks and printed out pages just put it all on the kindle 1 can live without my kindle any more before buying kindle UNK for long long time the main reason is that live in UNK and amazon doesn really offer non english literature UNK on the other hand read most of my books in english anyway so that shouldn be problem but then europe is really epub UNK and the kindle doesn support epub so you understand my doubts until after two months of yes no maybe cut the crap and ordered my kindle ve had if for about month now and it become part of my life discovered that using calibre can convert epub to mobi or azw for the kindle and calibre also provides me with my daily newspaper by lack of any UNK newspapers offering kindle subscription so now every morning calibre UNK my newspaper transfer it to my kindle and off we go UNK UNK are only half as boring since can easily read while waiting for UNK to move another UNK don do this while driving kids the kindle is small enough to take anywhere large enough to provide decent page of text and light enough to hold with one hand well while UNK it bit on the UNK wheel battery life too has been quite good so far and read somewhere it should even improve after couple of charges and can do for good weeks without charging all in all should have gotten this lot earlier but then wouldn have had the brand new k3 1 kindle rocks simply the UNK reader on the planet and yes own an ipad amazon makes no money on the reader itself it is gift to all of us enjoy 1 love my kindle my husband bought this for me and absolutely love it haven even touched all the things can do with it 0 ken UNK review it really to small to enjoy reading is there way to enlarge the UNK 1 very happy purchased my kindle with wifi little over month ago am very happy with it love everything it offers just wish we could loan books to other kindle users like you can with the nook other than that am extremely happy with the purchase 1 very pleased with my kindle have had my kindle about weeks now and very pleased with it have carpal tunnel in both hands so holding book especially big hardback has become UNK difficult for me over the last few years the kindle is easy to use in either hand with the page buttons on both sides of it and especially like the adjustable font where you can enlarge it in UNK light battery life is great in the three weeks ve had it only needed to charge it once it will be great for traveling usually take two or three books with me when fly so having whole library at my disposal will be great also like the availability of free books 1 best UNK per price ve been wanting to buy an ebook for ages but just couldn bring myself to spend more than 300 to get good one so the main reason bought the kindle is simply the price and what you get for it after almost month using it daily must say that totally satisfied there re some minor flaws that UNK you mostly if you intend to do something else besides reading ebooks it has the perfect size but actually like it better when using it together with the leather cover the weight and width feel much more like real book without the cover it too thin to feel comfortable holding it with one hand and on with the flaws it only reads ebooks from amazon it reads pdf but if you need to zoom in then you ll have to fight with not so UNK navigation button but before buying it made sure found got free program UNK that UNK all known formats even pdf to the amazon one so problem solved as said briefly in the first point the whole navigation system interface feels very old fashioned the menus layout and how to move through them with the navigation key it slow and cumbersome but as also said before if you only use it to read not to browse the net or write notes you ll soon get used to it and won bother you the few times you ll go there overall really happy with it and ve been recommending it non stop to anyone who may be interested 1 kindle can tell you how much enjoying my kindle took trip this week and having great books to read while traveling was such treat could read from several titles and didn have to have heavy book bag great product everyone who reads should have kindle UNK UNK 1 great reading device this device is thin and light much smaller than paperback book and can hold many books the screen is easy to read turning pages is quick nothing really bad to say about this device if used solely as book reader 1 latest generation kindle wireless reading device with free 3g wi fi just purchased the kindle 3g wireless reading device with free 3g and wi fi display really like this product UNK very lightweight and is easy to hold and great for traveling just downloaded book and was amazed at how fast you could do that it has many great features and would reccomend this product for anyone who likes to read like myself also love the fact that you can download books globally UNK 0 frustration still have not got my kindle working you gave me help in sorting out my password it now wants another password for me to continue am about to give up 1 kindle is wonderful UNK with the idea of buying kindle when they were first introduced for variety of UNK did not when the latest generation was announced UNK right in and ordered one for me and another for good friend the friend lives light years away and we have not been in the same room for years and years but we are both retired and big readers had feeling that he would enjoy his as much as anticipated enjoying mine thoroughly enjoy the kindle it is light weight convenient to hold and use and take it with me everywhere it is amazing to purchase book and have it in hand within minutes it is easy to read in bright sunlight or in the semi darkness of my bedroom and reading without having to hold on to bulky UNK is delight cannot imagine not having it thanks amazon com am UNK hooked on kindle 1 first time kindle user received my kindle quickly and efficiently and UNK am still novice am delighted with my purchase the instructions are easy to follow the print is easy to read and the unit is perfect size just one suggestion perhaps the buy tab shouldn highlight automatically when one looks at book for possible purchase it is very easy to press the enter button in error whilst moving the toggle switch or there could be an extra field along the lines of are you sure you want to order this product anyway the cancel order command seems to work well am really thrilled with my purchase thank you amazon 0 not my type UNK both kindle and ipad for gift to my family the major dislike for kindle is it hard to UNK to the proper size in pdf file it not touch screen compare with ipad think prefer ipad that UNK design think kindle size only fit pocket book reader not the professional UNK who read all document in UNK pdf file it not kindle fault just different product for different market but still think touch screen is better choose for UNK returned this product thanks for their refund policy that great online purchase and return experience if there is proper product from amazon in the future still consider to try amazon still is great company 1 saved my back always carry book around in my purse and unfortunately this came at the expense of my neck and back ever since getting the kindle my back and neck pain has UNK and can comfortably carry and hold my reading material up in front of my face for extended periods of time 1 love it but purchased the kindle latest generation in september and really like it there is only few things would of love to seen on it such as backlight for night reading touch screen and color font options but then again it would be an ipad it would of been nice to have these options maybe in the near future other than that love the fact can carry it every place go and have many books on it at my fingertips also like the fact can download my favorite version of the bible and take it to church with me that is where the touchscreen would be handy don regret getting it at all appreciate the fact that amazon offers lot of free books and switches them around often to where you have chance to get one that is free that wasn free week or so earlier seen they are working on software update so will be downloading it when it is ready recommend the kindle if you can afford the ipad also like the fact it has facebook twitter and browser even though it is beta version hopefully the new software update makes it better 1 amazing when received my kindle of course UNK into the box started it up right away it was easy to operate without even looking at the manual can say enough about my kindle love love love 1 the kindle is the best purchase ever absolutely love the kindle it is the most wonderful thing thought would miss holding book and turning pages etc but have not missed any of it for one second do not have room in my house for one more book but like to keep them with the kindle you keep your books forever without taking up any space in your home don miss the heavy hard covered books that made my hands fall asleep as held them up in the air while reading in bed and it takes less time to touch the bar to turn the page then to actually turn page by hand the books are reasonably priced most are around 10 some more most less it takes less than minute to download book even less time than waiting in line to purchase book at bookstore there is no backlight in the kindle so the cover with the light is ideal for those who read at night and don want to UNK their significant other the only person would say who should not buy the kindle is one who only reads library books in that case they UNK do not spend penny to purchase the books they read and would probably not be happy paying for the downloads but if you buy your books this is the way to go 1 kindle excellent got this for my son for christmas 2010 tried it out to see if it works and it does like it so much that am considering getting one for myself great device 1 great device received the new kindle as birthday gift love it so far the only problem was there was tiny black UNK in the middle of the screen that wouldn go away which sort of bothered me UNK decided to exchange it for new one but wow amazon customer service is amazing had my new UNK free kindle within days of speaking to customer service with no hassle at all and no time without kindle just packed the old one in the new packaging UNK the label and sent it back shipping free loving the lightweight easy to read format of the kindle love that ll be able to travel with it without having to choose which book to take and which to leave behind before go great buy 1 no stress even in japan if it has UNK for one UNK would mark stars need not charge it often can read many kind of english books in japan do not have to pay any UNK fee so great 1 almost book whole lot of books in small and light weight package that is basically what the kindle is granted it does not have the feel or smell of real book but reading from it is just as easy as from real book the ink technology is really something good cannot use my computer for extended periods of time because my eyes will UNK and headache will UNK but with the kindle can read for hours without problems the weight of the kindle makes it easy to handle and holding it will not make your hands hurt from heavy UNK you can change the settings of how you want to hold your kindle some file formats you want the kindle to be in portrait mode for other files you may want landscape mode sadly you have to change this everytime manually the kindle does not support automatic UNK like so many smart phones do you can manually change the contrast size UNK of the text choose how many words you want on one line how much space you want between lines don know if this is standard for all file types though but my eyesight is far from perfect but ve not had any trouble reading because the text was just too small you can use wi fi to get new books onto the kindle or use the usb cable but there no sd slot which would have liked but it is not necessity the option available for file transfer are adequate the kindle is easy to use even if you dont read the user guide if you have basic knowledge of technology you will be able to figure it out on your own don know how the internet works on the kindle as havent used it ve connected it to my home wi fi network without difficulty but that it you can have music playing in the background and the sound quality is good it does make the battery run out faster but the battery life is still really long sadly no shuffle function for the music all in all glad decided to go for the kindle the price is certainly UNK especially if you look around in shops in the UNK you will not get and reader with wi fi and carry UNK for UNK UNK the ink is wonderful the weight is more than UNK the files it can handle are numerous it has no problems at all with pdf files have over 100 books on it about 100 songs and the memory still isnt full battery life is long and though nothing can beat the experience of reading real book the kindle sure does come close 1 love it for while couldn bring myself to buy it because usually too busy to read anything anyway thought it would go to waste but finally made the purchase and don regret it one bit love my kindle so much read it all the time it so light and easy on the eyes very glad made this purchase 1 UNK favorite toy am so pleased with this product take it everywhere as it so convenient appreciate being able to download books no matter where am number of colleagues and friends plan to order the kindle based on my UNK 1 outstanding kindle is just wonderful it screen is incredible there is no glare at all gave it to my girlfriend and she is just in love with it should buy one for me soon 1 still better than the UNK the release of the UNK today really made me satisfied with my kindle purchase even more satisfied than already was after using my kindle for the past month there is no comparison the UNK is not an reader because it does not utilize ink this is why amazon goes out of its way to UNK the ink screen on its kindle there is no comparison between reading on an ink display and an lcd even if that lcd may be UNK and have special film to prevent glare believe the kindle will keep its UNK in the reader market because it really is great device the only complaint have with it is epub support if this was changed think the kindle would be unbeatable however really hope amazon is considering either color ink display or something UNK to UNK color display in its next kindle move towards color UNK like what barnes nobles has done would be the wrong direction 0 froze UNK think got the worst luck with kindle it has been two month since got it it was working perfectly for the first two weeks then it started to act funny by placing my most most at the bottom of the pages despite chose the option of have them placed at the top of the home screen and then it refused to start up unless tried the hard way by holding the power switch to the right for 30 seconds customer service was not helping much and they can only suggested the ways which ve already tried the battery life was also not as long as kindle has promised it usually runs up in week with UNK off now as move to UNK am stuck with UNK kindle that it probably costs more for me to send it back to us than getting new one am quite sad kindle would have been the best reading device if it wasn so UNK 1 great product but needs re design could say lots of great things about the kindle but only bad thing like it alot and highly recommend it the only problem have is that it doesn seemed designed in way that lets you hold it comfortably without accidentally hitting buttons either my UNK will hit button on it keyboard or the ends of my fingers or thumb will hit the page forward button read it few hours day and everything else about it is great the background looks like bright paper say it actually better than paper because it doesn have any UNK or UNK in it the text is very easy and comfortable to read and adjustable in size the battery lasts very long time because it only uses it when you turn the page if the wifi is off 1 kindle ordered my kindle and lighted case through amazon com on sunday night and it was delivered on the next thursday afternoon was very happy with the quick shipping from amazon and that was even the free shipping option as for the kindle itself it is my very first dedicated ereader but have played with my sister kobo so have something to compare it to my initial impression of the kindle after playing with it for the last four days and reading on it for total of about four hours at this point is really good the kindle is light but still feels sturdy and well made the screen has great contrast and is much sharper and easier to read than the kobo have the wifi only version and it connects quickly to the wifi and shopping in the kindle store and buying books is breeze the keyboard is plus as well as the mp3 player and the text to voice option which haven played with much put seems pretty neat there are only couple of complaints have about it first of all the five way controller on the key pad is bit UNK even for my small hands when pushing the down arrow often also end up hitting the back button by mistake which is really frustrating also the button in the middle of the controller takes little extra UNK to push without pushing another buttons as for the page turn keys on the sides of the kindle love that these keys are on both sides it makes it so much easier to continue to read no matter what position am lying or sitting in the only issue is that it is really easy to accidentally hit one of these buttons and turn page without meaning too and my last complaint is that the first time finally had the time to sit down and spend few hours reading my kindle got to the very first page of my book and the kindle totally crashed on me it wouldn do anything but continue to flash the start up screen at me over and over again after several frustrating moments of staring at UNK screen googled kindle crashes and discovered that it appears to be quite common issue apparently kindle is quite buggy at the suggestion of one site held down the off toggle switch for UNK seconds let it go waited and finally my kindle came back to life despite the UNK as long as it does not become constant problem love my new kindle UNK it is dream to read on am one of those who UNK to change because love having paper book in my hand am now converted the kindle is joy to use keep it in case and it feels just like having book in my hands anyway how does it compare to the kobo the kindle has newer version of the ink screen and it shows the kindle screen is much crisper and has much better contrast than the kobo also the kobo is slightly lighter but feels bit UNK than the kindle prefer the kindle my sister has been quite happy with the kobo though and has no real complaints if you are on the fence about the kindle just buy it you won regret it just being able to download books in UNK seconds or less from anywhere makes it worthwhile love my kindle 1 in love had tried other devices as book readers but am absolutely in love with my kindle love the 3g feature and the look the battery lasts for really long time absolutely recommend 1 awesome ve had my kindle for only few days but ve already read books on it can put it down first time kindle owner was UNK the kindle few months ago but didn get it because of the price ve been impressed with the changes they made to the kindle for the 3rd generation even though they are subtle the overall appearance is much better love the graphite and it amazing how light and thin it is ve had no problems with glitches and not connecting to the internet like others have reported the eink is amazing it hard to believe it screen instead of written page the page turning speed is great takes about the same amount of time that it would for me to physically turn page in book have no problems with the keys do wish the directional buttons were bit larger but it not huge turn off but also have small fingers the kindle is great love it 1 excellent if you love to read you love to travel this is just what you need 1 outstanding it is really easy to download the books and don have problem when reading in the sunlight it is everything expected 0 do you like over priced books besides the difficulty of reading after dark not being able to flip quickly through pages or being able to share book with friend the kindle has major flaw most of the books available sell for more than the real book considering how cheap it is to produce and UNK kindle titles this looks to me like rip off 1 my new kindle 2010 just purchase my new kindle last week saw it on the UNK the price is decent like the color graphite and the size it is user friendly and easy to learn the negatives are that do like being unable to download my books from other places having to be lock in to amazon only recently saw another reader that will let me do that would like to download from my public library would like to have backlight to read at night built in the kindle not have to be purchased it would be nice to move the pages in easier way if you are older person with hand problems text to speech sounds UNK sometimes 1 thank you jeff bezos heard friend mention her kindle in passing but had no idea what it was so decided to do some research was quickly UNK to amazon com and noticed video UNK with amazon UNK jeff bezos have to say was sold not only on the kindle but on amazon com really liked what mr bezos had to say and UNK the way he handled himself during the UNK decided to go ahead with the newest kindle 3g am currently living internationally and was concerned that there would be delays UNK in getting my device shipped here it arrived yesterday several days sooner than anticipated and already love it will have to get used to not having touch screen like on my ipod but am so glad that jeff bezos and his kindle team didn ruin great product by UNK it up with features that would detract from the best part that the screen really looks like printed document thank you for making quality product for UNK like me appreciate your attention to important details that really make this an ideal device will definitely be purchasing more kindles as gifts in the future 1 kindle 3g great for reading outside no glare and pages are not UNK in the wind easy to download books love the free games before purchasing consider cost of downloading books vs buying books at used book store 1 my kindle watch oprah regularly and try to read all the books she UNK especially the free reads when she chose freedom by UNK UNK recently decided to upgrade my reading with the kindle it was expensive but worth it it made my reading more fun and it is really the easiest way to read like how it always takes me back to where stopped so that do not have to go searching for it also liked how it UNK me to read more now am making list of the books have always wanted to read which never got to read also like the fact it can store thousands of books love reading and the kindle is what reader like me needs it means that can carry all my books anywhere everywhere in this light UNK it makes my reading life so easy joy 1 finally priced for everyone now that the kindle is in my price range ran out and got one along with sony reader on UNK at the price just so could compare started with the kindle and fell for it right off sony reader was actually return the same day bright clear screen in daylight and with low lighting inside my house easily sent myself word docs via the free email converter UNK free kindle com although this was not in the instructions that come with your kindle pdf files are hard to do either the type was too small or there was just too much scrolling sideways to even bother with them comfortable to hold for hours read for 10 straight hours this past sunday does not heat up and has very long battery life even with wireless turned on biggest problem can see is with the power button being on the bottom turned my kindle off twice by slightly UNK it against the UNK of my pants maybe they should consider moving it to the top all in all for books and personal word docs this handy little device rocks 1 better than paper have had my kindle for about weeks now was very skeptical of buying it initially didn think 140 was well spent on reading device when you can spend that money on books also my reading style is pretty UNK when it comes to my favorite books tend to highlight pages UNK them even rip out pages to keep them somewhere more accessible am proud of my library of books which at one point had more than 100 books and in end if don like book enough to keep it sell it online and get some money back with kindle thought could not do any of these cannot resell books cannot UNK display my collection definitely won be able to rip pages out and unlike 20 book if lose kindle am out of 140 my idea of creating library of books started to change when recently had to move and my books had UNK combined weight sometimes UNK book to re read something but most of the books are rarely touched after finish reading them instead of moving all these books sold most UNK some now was more open to idea of an reader but was still not sure could still buy books read them and then sell them instead of building library in my mind that would definitely be more cost effective than buying book in digital format that cannot be re sold was using my cell phone to read free books and finally decided kindle won be bad device to read free classics on that was the main reason bought kindle for turns out kindle is way better to read books on than any other medium including paper the weight is perfect with the official cover it weighs feels just right and can almost do everything that used to do while reading and more sure cannot tear out pages but can highlight paragraphs bookmark pages add notes share highlights on twitter facebook with friends it is better than highlighting in book because all your highlights are stored on amazon server in one place no need to tear out pages anymore all your highlight bookmarks are also backed up so if you switch kindles you can get back your highlights bookmarks you can read your highlights online too love it that it is UNK there is rudimentary web browser but it is not fun to browse on that browser so unlike reading books on computer cell phones where facebook twitter UNK UNK and whole web is just few clicks or UNK away here you have only books no distractions while reading books don get the urge to quickly check facebook anymore it has built in mp3 player but still prefer to listen music on my phone the best part is amazon UNK or samples of books right now have over 20 different samples each sample has chapter or two if like the sample can buy the book otherwise just delete it usually you know with first few pages if you will enjoy the book or not this in fact will save me money on digital books used to buy books sometimes only to find out that don want to read them anymore when sold them online or in person usually took loss with samples of books don have worry about not liking book after buying it don care to do the UNK but am sure this will save me money in long run also most of the kindle books are significantly cheaper than paper versions the only negative is that unlike the amazon kindle ad there is enough glare that you have to avoid few angles while holding it guess its UNK UNK could be compared to that of glossy magazines instead of paper books so if light is directly UNK in your eyes you will see glare however it is not huge deal just slightly different angle is all you need to hold it in end think this is one of the best purchases have made 1 awsome technology haven had my kindle very long but am very impressed with it so far it is easy to read even in bright sunlight for anyone who likes to read this is must buy being able to download directly to the device is really nice amazon has lot of books that want and haven been able to obtain UNK or at the library am sure will get many hours of enjoyment from my kindle the technology is amazing and sure later models will continue to improve on the experimental features on kindle have showed it to all my friends and they intend to purchase one soon like old western novels and the free ebooks available are UNK haven checked all the ebook sites yet but have been well pleased with amazon have been told to be careful not to drop it but most high tech pieces of hardware are little bit fragile when it comes to dropping warranty is probably wise 1 UNK the latest sony UNK touch ereader but offers great value agree with most everything positive written about this kindle the UNK the usability the readability etc but there is still room for improvement as it UNK behind the sony ereader UNK by only allowing the proprietary azw format and the mobi format UNK lending downloads from just about every library lending between kindle owners should be addressed and without being UNK to by the publishers amazon has growing power and UNK in this field to be independent about the device uses no memory UNK for the money you can do better but the latest sony might be better for those with bigger budget 1 love it love to read and have always carried book with me to take advantage of any spare time during the day my wife gave me kindle for my birthday and am love it almost as much as love her it is light weight and easy to UNK with just one hand great for reading while eating lunch my favorite feature is the ability to enlarge the font size allowing old eyes to read in all light settings would reccommend this device to anyone who wants to read anything for any reason 1 after books love it waited while to post review to get longer perspective have the 3g version in white and also have the leather case with light have no comparison to make vs nook or any other reader however it is extremely easy and comfortable to use too loved the feel of well made book with nice UNK in your hand and wondered how would feel about losing that but now know can read with one hand with ease either hand flipping the page with the same hand while UNK my huge dog lying on my lap with the other try that with traditional UNK book the text is very easy to view with no electronic eye strain at all and the convenience of getting your next book bars none am going through the UNK UNK UNK series and after finishing one simply turn on the connection and within minutes have the next book in my palm and all without getting off my bed the buttons are very easy to use the light on the cover is very useful for unobtrusive late night reading and the battery life is extremely good am glad got the 3g model because on the 3rd floor of my house the wireless network is weak so it simply uses the 3g to connect without me having to move closer to the router very convenient also travel internationally and having free connection internationally is well worth the 50 the browser is so so dont really use it but its there if needed the dictionary at the tip of your finger is very nice and easy to use the UNK pad is UNK bit small for my larger fingers but UNK and not annoying overall extremely pleased with it and love reading on it 1 wi fi why didn buy this sooner fantastic product easy to use easy to read and just the right size for me to prop up on my UNK and pillow and read hands free book would want to keep closing the highlight feature is nice but if they could come up with touch pad like is on laptop that would make underlining and highlighting easier love it see the nook is now being sold at UNK for more than this so wonder why amazon is missing the boat on that if the nook UNK amazon then worry about access to books online but great product 1 major step forward the third generation kindle is major improvement in the technology of readers between my wife and we have owned both first and second generation kindles now we each have third generation model and are well pleased with their performance the device is smaller lighter and more functional the screen presentation is clearer with more contrast thus easier to read in any combination of lighting the wi fi service is quick and easy and the whisper net coverage is improved as well we are seldom without our kindles within reach 1 the new kindle is even better my husband and shared second generation kindle and loved it but UNK over it we wanted to read it at the same time or take it with us when we left the house leaving the other to read book we both liked the ease of using the kindle and prefer to read on the kindle when saw that there would be new version was excited and couldn wait to get one love that it is lighter and smaller wasn sure if would like the wifi instead of the 3g whispernet but do have wifi at home and that is really the only place that download books the lower price made the decision to purchase one easy love my kindle 1 better than expected when got my kindle thought it would be like reading on computer that couldnt be further from the truth my kindle is easier on my eyes so it is easier to read and read longer because of it was amazed at how well the 3g worked and how easy it was to use am UNK buying one for my wife for christmas 1 kindle reader just what wanted really easy to read small enough to fit in my purse for times am waiting only thing would like is for it to lend books like the one from barnes noble does my daughter has one to and it would be nice to be able to share books instead of each of us having to buy the same ones 1 nice book reader it took while to decide buying the kindle but glad did it great to have whole library worth of books at hand still it would be great if kindle would bring memory card slot and if it could read other formats than amazon proprietary azw the choice of books in amazon store is still relatively small with some authors eg john UNK and UNK very UNK covered anyway this ebook reader is nice thing to own and revolution in my reading habits 0 great device but no match to the ipad as an reader this product is hard to beat however the ipad reader software called ibooks does have its advantages it both smart and beautiful the black and white design of the kindle is UNK and difficult to use in low light conditions as well and while the ipad is the UNK UNK UNK of tablet devices the kindle comes up short with it lack of additional features 1 great but complicated navigation think the kindle is awesome easy to use light and the internet connection even being just experimental did its job the only problem found was the hard time had trying to read pdf file that was not at the normal page size had to turn and zoom in and out each page and that was kinda boring if you want to read just ebooks believe it that was not my case so give it 1 love my kindle avoided readers altogether for while as they were expensive and because really like the feel of paperback in my hands however last month for my birthday decided to give myself the new kindle love it so far have read several books on it and have enjoyed the experience the light works great so reading in bed is no problem there are tons of free books out there especially if you don mind the older ones wish would have had the kindle when was an english lit UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK london etc etc etc today finally got around to emailing my own UNK to the kindle so that it formats it automatically into its own format if you UNK UNK readings this is very cool feature the UNK space is huge considering the small size of the documents you load into it in addition to everything written by the authors above have the bible the UNK several dictionaries and loads of other books that haven listed and still have more than half the memory available you can also use the kindle as an external hard drive the mp3 player could be better as well as the web browsing but if that concern for you buy laptop have one classical album loaded into mine that play when reading as background sound and it works great for that if want more songs or to see the names then ll just grab my mp3 player wouldn recommend using it as pdf reader as it shows the whole page on its tiny screen but in pinch it will do all in all love my kindle 1 don read books read kindle in my life ve read only dozen books but on kindle enjoy it so much more gonna read everything 1 amazing the 3rd generation kindle is nothing short of amazing it does everything it says it will and then some assuming you have the extra money you should go for the 3g version but in pinch the wi fi only version is great in its own right page turns are fast the experimental features are useful the mp3 player function seems to UNK little bit when you press buttons but thats to be expected from an experimental feature if only other devices had the battery life that this thing does we would all enjoy our electronics much more 1 best gadget have bought in the last years strongly recommend it to anyone who reads regularly if you don have reading habit kindle may not be the best fit for you but for regular reader this is like UNK easy to carry has nice internet connection performance and it plays mp3s as well the screen does not bother your eyes you can read your ms word documents and pdfs easily as well 1 great love it this is great kindel had the first kindel and used it all the time until it started to go out then got this one this is much better then the first and it is great deal 1 no page numbers if you intend to use the kindle for reference books beware the kindle does not display page numbers this is important if you need to use the index or page number references in the text it is impossible to utilize the index and to navigate to particular page otherwise the kindle is perfect for reading fiction newspapers or magazines hope amazon can fix this issue with future software update 1 great product expensive to use the kindle itself is awesome with only one drawback it reads well in daylight but there no backlight so you can read in the dark know its not good for your eyes but still my real problem with it is free books are limited and hard to find especially when downloading from the kindle instead of the computer if want to read books want to read it pretty expensive haven tried the public library yet maybe that will help all in all happy with the purchase my pocketbook is happy don have more free time for reading 1 wonderful so far am enjoying my kindle so much it is big improvement over the older one have 1 UNK k3 review live in UNK western australia and ordered my kindle in early october after reading some very good reviews of it on UNK its arrival within just five working days by dhl surprised me no end as an avid reader of everything from UNK think that you UNK call it UNK UNK to UNK and everything in between me am impressed with its ease of use and the number of books available not one who normally UNK review like this neither do ever recommend products to my friends however with my kindle pleased to do both to keep my new toy looking good ve also purchased UNK cover from UNK UNK 1 perfect gift for the UNK love it easy to read backlight allows reading in any light lightweight takes up no space the UNK can access any book anywhere in the world 1 ebook for the future use the kindle for leisure reading now it is great am also teacher we are starting to use ebooks in class UNK future of kindles in the classroom as the cost of textbooks continues to UNK single book like the kindle versus several textbooks make too much sense worth every penny just wish we could get all the books here in canada some authors are not available here 1 best kindle yet bought one of the first kindle really liked it because it was easier to hold than books have UNK tunnel UNK plus could get rid of all those books taking up space people may not be able to believe how many free books are on kindle any of them can be read in bright sunlight so you can read it anywhere except in the dark when the kindle came out wanted it because it was lighter thus easier to hold but was little dismayed that the pages were harder to turn then when the kindle came out read some of the reviews and was little UNK ordered it thinking had 30 days to return it but you are not getting this back it lighter and smaller and the pages are easier to turn like that previous page is now on both sides best yet is the images are sharper got the graphite and think it is easier on the eyes and seems to make it easier to focus on the printed matter next best is the price paid UNK 00 for the first one and thought it was worth it 1 like book but with battery since this is my first reader didn know what to expect was blown away by the simplicity and utility of this reader the contrast is truly awesome and puts some books out there to shame granted the screen does let out odd noise with each page turn not too sure if it supposed to do that or if it is design flaw personally don mind it the drawbacks on this device are few and far between the only issues could find were the lack of number pad and the way the kindle organizes the books is bit awkward connecting to wifi network proved bit cumbersome due to the lack of the keypad but the kindle remembers its passwords so one input is all that needed some people might find the black out screen refresh bit annoying but ended up getting used to it within few pages ve yet to test the battery UNK but expecting at least weeks before need to charge it do not think that UNK and getting the basic model is bad idea since most people will not be downloading books between the middle of nowhere and somewhere the 3g UNK to be extra that ends up UNK the battery faster on side note the experimental features are just that experimental the music player will play your music but not much else ve found almost no use for it the web browser on the other hand has proven fun UNK that has potential to become something in the future granted the five way controller couple with the ink display demands patience from the best of us the voice read feature is something that makes microsoft sam seem like UNK UNK not worth using unless the power goes out and you re left with no reading light 1 love this love the kindle took little bit of time to get used to the latest version next previous page and menu button not as user friendly as 2nd generation as had the 2nd generation first and had to return due to defect however once got used to it there were no other troubles if you like to read even little this is terrific gift for yourself or for someone who loves to read it also great to have the 3g wi fi built in so can download books wherever am great product 1 UNK 3g this is the first reader have purchased and it is much better than expected it is very easy to download books and to download UNK with one click you can purchase book and it is also easy to review books that are available 1 kindle is good but software upgrade needed the kindle is very convenient to use and well designed however after two weeks of use it rebooted itself and then was difficult to turn on contacted telephone support who were very responsive and they downloaded firmware patch over my wifi which seems to have UNK the problem 1 kindle 3g wanted kindle for long time finally got one and absolutely love it read reviews on all the other readers but UNK the kindle now just need to get cover 0 brilliant but now broken just love my kindle but after only few weeks the screen died and customer service could and should be bit more helpful in my attempt to get it fixed so can rate it higher than as it is expensive for just weeks and books great experience 1 amazing product thinking of buying kindle do it it is an amazing product did lots of reading about the major ebook readers out there and decided the kindle fit my needs wants the best do not have any UNK for this product have always liked reading actual books and have tried reading on the computer and just never liked it so was skeptical at first about an ebook reader the electronic ink is amazing and it reads just like real book actually better because you can adjust the font type and size to your liking couple advantages to reading with this device that have not seen anyone mention is lets say you are reading regular book and you have kids or UNK and they do something that requires your immediate attention you throw your book down and you have just lost where you were at with this you can just put it down quickly and when you come back you are right back where you left off another minor thing like about an ebook reader instead of regular book is if you lay book down and read it without holding the pages down lot of times they will flip over which find annoying hope this helps anyone looking to purchase the kindle it is great product dont hesitate to get one for yourself 0 needs backlighting the kindle needs back lighting for night time use go buy small cheap netbook get the kindle reader and you are all set bought kindle but returned it because of this also how much of pdf can you really see at once great concept but miss 1 kindle wifi love my new kindle it is so much easier to hold than book because it so light very easy to navigate and love the put your cursor in front of word to quickly get to the definition and how to UNK it the only downside that see so far is that right after buying the 139 kindle the book prices for kindle books just went up that is real bummer 1 kindle 3g wi fi never worked got this for my 18 yr old UNK birthday for this friday doesn work at all called amazon to find out what could be the problem and ended up speaking with someone with heavy UNK and he was of no help at all charged the battery for hours and nothing happens hope amazon takes this back as never want to ever get kindle big disappointment guess will have to get nook and see if that works update the problem has been resolved so now have changed to stars instead of the one thanks to the representative that called be back as he took lots of stress of me and my husband 1 adore my kindle love my amazon kindle take it everywhere go just in case get few extra minutes to read of course there are some things am spoiled by when compare it to my computer but that is to be expected didn buy it to use as an ipad so try not to compare one thing would change about my kindle is that wish it was lighted so didn have to have lights on or use book light it not really that big of an inconvenience plus it would probably be bigger if it was lighted and love the size it is now also got cute skin to put on it to protect it as well as case using the internet on it is ok but will definitely get better with each new kindle going to the kindle store is very easy and using it is also very easy also own an iphone that has the kindle app on it so if for some reason don have my kindle then can open my app on my phone and it UNK up on the same page left it on my kindle and vice versa recommend anyone that can read to get this kindle it has saved me so much room in my house from UNK books in places since my bookcase is full love it 1 kindel this is great product for me as teach electrical classes at local college and now can carry lot of my text material in small book for reference the product is easy to read and move around in plus it has made my life lot easier in the class room 1 UNK kindle UNK UNK excelente UNK compra eacute UNK UNK aacute UNK UNK de UNK excelente UNK UNK UNK 1 simple excellence perfect for what it was designed to do any book anywhere and it keeps its promise remarkable easy to read in any light would highly recommend 1 love my kindle use my kindle every day will wear it out take it to meetings on planes and soon may even take it on train 1 great my second kindle contrast really improved smaller size nice love the wifi which is good enough for me and at that price highly recommended to try it is to UNK it and once you start reading you books on reader there is no going back in terms of convenience one hand operation always having all your unread books with you plus read ones that you might want to consult etc 0 screen and battery problems after weeks took delivery of kindle 3g on september 15 just in time to take it with me on trip to europe after two weeks the top third of the screen suddenly became unreadable and few days later the battery suddenly started holding charge for only two days all this time with the wireless connection disabled amazon then UNK that return have to be sent within one month not easy to do when one is in transit to UNK despite the fact that they are being notified with the month after UNK battery problems see that quite few people had problems with their battery life with earlier kindles at least they could replace the battery the new 3g has to be sent back to amazon la ipod fear that we may be headed for major problems 1 buy it now such fun no wi fi at my house so go to mcdonalds and that is fun too one problem have had it for two months and have bought 40 books this includes free ones as well do not expect perfection with wi fi hot spot connections just be patient and enjoy read more 1 love this new kindle have 2nd generation kindle and bought this new generation for my husband he kept reading my kindle so he needed his own he loves the graphite color and the improved function keyboard and toggle would highly recommend this kindle to anyone 1 don own yet but would like to buy for my son school books am UNK for next school year my son go to private UNK school and he has to carry so many book and they are so heavy and with his UNK equipment and lunch and book bag he can hardly walk with all the weight so am asking that you put all of UNK UNK books on books in UNK UNK you would sell lot of UNK because my son is not the only one with this problem if you could at least put the UNK grade books but know if you put UNK through 12 you would sell lot of UNK and also all the other private UNK that use these books this is the school web site and then you hit the on line book store and then you will have the list of books for each grade not only the weight of the books but the cost on top of what we pay for private school and the shipping charge is out of this world and in this UNK who can UNK that so please put these books on book before next year please contact me at UNK att net so that know what you are going to do thank you god UNK UNK 1 kindle 3g love my kindle take it with me everywhere if think ll have chance to read or play word game on it like the option for the size of print the best because need it bit large it is great to always have the same size print for every book read not like going from one book to another and having some in too small print and having problem holding it or keeping it open only have one page now and it great 1 ve finally found the perfect reading device ve been reading ebooks since the days of windows mobile microsoft reader and lit format books compared to the sony UNK my kindle is much easier to read higher contrast ergonomic design its also much easier to handle for extended periods of time than the ipad amazon shipping was incredible purchased monday morning UNK package on doorstep tuesday evening regular shipping 1 first time kindle user have used my new kindle for several weeks now and really enjoy it it is easy to use and navigate have not used many of the features yet so can comment on them have concerns about traveling with the kindle vs paperback book tend to be pretty rough on paperbacks while traveling and wonder if the kindle can stand up to rough UNK over all the kindle has been great 1 ultimate change in reading habits kindle is technology from another planet didnt think it is so easy to change habit of reading from paper from its invention thousand years ago to electronics moreover it makes me read more as it is so easy to access anything what you think of read twice more books in first month with kindle than during all last year 1 my first reader love it could not resist the price when kindle came out and bought the device this is my first reader and love using it the portability and availability of books is what makes this device shine for me it really has encouraged me to read whole lot more than used to the dictionary feature is really amazing and helpful would love to see all or most textbook publishers to publish kindle editions of their books 1 amazing worth the money love the kindle it is light weight user friendly and holds all my favorites books and more wouldn know what to do without it now it makes reading to my son lot easier because when he is UNK can turn pages without moving him the ability to change size of font is an amazing feature also the experimental web browser is good it would be better if it was in color but still wonderful the pictures when you put it to sleep are amazing would recommend the kindle to everyone and already have recommended to lot of people know 1 best thing ever love my kindle read more now that have it UNK my eyes are bad and glasses don help but since can UNK the letters on the kindle have no trouble reading at all thanks for wonderful product amazon 1 really good the kindle totally is what thought it would be hear about book go on amazon and minute after that can start reading it is very cool device the only thing is the screen when press on the button next or previous page the screen kind of turn black and then white again it is kind of disturbing and at first wondered if it was normal but got used to it and it doesnt really change anything doesnt keep you from reading would totally UNK it 1 believer last christmas my mother gave us kindle but told my husband that he could have it because only enjoyed reading book that could hold in my hands UNK from the library because could read it for free how could have been so UNK few weeks ago finally asked my husband to show me how he used the kindle and as he sat next to me explaining all the functions UNK began to realize how much had missed out by not taking advantage of it when it first came to us last christmas the high point however was when found out how many free books there were that could download and read to my UNK content without spending dime the free books that are available literally number in the millions and all it takes is just bit of UNK research to find them kindle even has blog that is all about how to obtain free books not only from the web but from amazon as well at that point was hooked immediately purchased the kindle 3g wireless and waited UNK for it to arrive in the mail when it arrived UNK open the box read the quick start up guide and within an hour had easily UNK everything needed to know in order to navigate through the system it now been three weeks and my husband can get it out of my hands take it everywhere with me because it is so UNK and easy to slip into my purse enjoy reading newspapers like the ny times and wall street journal everyday because can download them and can get free 14 day subscription with the option to purchase at great discounted price my husband and play games together on our kindles and there have been many evenings where the tv stays off and we re UNK to our kindle screens trying to beat each other in every word or scrabble completely sold on the kindle if you are thinking about getting one but have not made the decision to do so yet take leap of UNK you won regret it one tiny bit 1 getting the kindle in india my wife gifted me the wifi version and we had it shipped direct to india by amazon it arrived more or less on time it took exactly days to reach my city and then was stuck in customs for two more days amazon charged UNK fee as import fees UNK with promise to return any UNK back in the event we got back only about UNK 350 so if you are in india and are planning to order this please be prepared to pay the full amount shown at UNK nearly UNK as far as the device itself goes it is simply great for reading books and magazines from amazon the surface is virtually glare free and the contrast is very good it is less effective as reader for pdfs as several other reviewers have noted and while amazon conversion facility helps it is still far from perfect you basically email the pdf to your kindle with the subject convert and amazon UNK the document so it is easier to read what the pdf reader really lacks is fit visible option that the UNK reader provides on pc UNK you end up wasting precious screen space for margins while UNK works flawlessly the browser is very very slow and clumsy to use in fact ve all but given up trying to use it don think the device is any less useful for the lack of decent browser but please don expect to be able send emails while lying in bed have also tried out three kindle apps so far the two free games UNK amazon plus scrabble UNK from UNK and while these are good can really say that impressed the quality of graphics on these is more ms UNK than iphone overall think this is definitely device worth owning for people who like reading but it has long way left to go before give it all five stars 1 almost excellent perhaps have unique requirements so the kindle dx 10 is almost perfect my basic need is to read the 1000 or so pdf files that have downloaded from my university library over the past years of research for my UNK more to come amazon translation of pdfs to their azw format is excellent for many papers and chapters of books but needs software improvement here is what is needed some basic software upgrades would address doesn handle greek or UNK UNK well so any UNK engineering science UNK in my case just doesn UNK there is room for major improvement here some UNK pictures and images work and some don some more complex UNK upgrades would address some files have extensive UNK and UNK on each page that are identical for each page and UNK UNK the flow since they are UNK not as UNK and UNK but as part of the text this makes highlights of the text awkward UNK within the text are not accessible easily it would be better if they were linked to UNK for files that are chapters of books with UNK in separate chapter it is even more awkward requiring closing that chapter file and opening the UNK file and then going back 1 glad got it at first didnt know how would like kindle but now know its great was on the waiting list for while and thought this is silly should cancel the order but am glad didnt enjoy it more than thought would my husband has required lot of hospital testing and doctor UNK grab the kindle have any type of book want to read in less the size of one small book fits in my bag or purse didnt know anything about wifi and how to download books but do now easy to learn would make great gift for the everyday reader or the casual reader 1 love my kindle have to say love my kindle it very easy to use easy to navigate quick to download new books and newspapers and very easy to read in any type of light would recommend this product to anyone only have one UNK the keyboard isn the easiest to use some keys are UNK very differently from qwerty so constantly type the UNK key however rarely use the keyboard so kept my star rating 1 perfect gift got the kindle for my mom who is in an UNK living facility she loves to read but had little to no room for books so any books she gets end up in the library as UNK with the kindle she will be able to have more books than she can read in lifetime it simple enough to figure out and light enough for her to hold onto for while she broke her arm and shoulder few years ago in fall and now has little use of her left arm she will be able to adjust the font size as well sure she is going to love this new gadget 1 great value product have been using my kindle wireless ebook reader for month it is very good for reading paper like screen giving no eye UNK like reading more than before appreciate very much the kindle service of providing conversion of documents like microsoft word into their kindle format it helps me lot in reading my personal documents beauty in kindle that other ebook devices rarely UNK is that it can display chinese words precisely my suggested improvement for kindle is to offer touch screen feature it is because using touch screen is much faster than pressing buttons especially when want to go to word for dictionary or title to read on the screen all in all kindle is great value to me 1 perfect for me just what expected perfect for me small enough to go in my purse it is just as described and does what it is supposed to do 1 amazon kindle 3g the kindle is fantastic instead of carrying around UNK of books all the time just carry UNK no need to wait for the paperback version either the screen is great no sun glare and really easy to read also quite like the fact that don have to turn pages weird but true the only concern have is not with the device but with the limit on content wish more publishers would allow kindle versions of their books cannot tell you how sick am of looking for book and not finding kindle version UNK UNK guys wake up want to buy your books but won unless there is an electronic version that can read on the kindle 1 new kindle is great the new screen and pricing makes it no brainer just wish the lighted cover was cheaper big difference from the kindle ii screen much easier to read 1 love at first sight after UNK for some time finally made the plunge and got kindle first for myself and short while later for my husband having read our first books we both like the look and feel and rarely go anywhere without the kindle just in case there is chance to read for couple of minutes or longer syncing the book contents works very well and selecting and purchasing additional books is also easy and quick from germany we also have the leather cover with light for both our kindles and it helps to still have book like feeling while reading it eg on bus delivery from the us to germany was quick and smooth and it was possible to always tell how close the kindle had already gotten via the ups tracking website both kindles arrived on the expected delivery date once they were shipped 1 reading made easy my husband bought this for my birthday love to read and have so many books that ve had to UNK out the books less likely to re read to make room for more UNK book around is no big deal if it small paperback but have lots of massive paperbacks and hardbacks now can just tuck my kindle into my bag and take it anywhere it goes everywhere with me and haven found time or place where haven been able to UNK in quick read love it thank you husband 1 love my kindle the kindle is everything had hoped it would be plus love the ease of use and convenience no more heavy books making my hands UNK light and slim the kindle makes reading novels even more of pleasure downloading books is breeze everyone ve shown has been impressed and it shipped to new zealand so fast impressive just waiting for my cover on back order 0 kindle amazon UNK ve bought kindle assuming that this is reading device for an any book would purchase or take from my friend and can load into kindle and read but it is obviously have not working like this ve received numerous emails from amazon support that since books have not been bought from amazon kindle bookstore they can not be converted and so on all this messages pushed me to return kindle back so writing this just to let people know that buying kindle from amazon they will be UNK to read only books offered by amazon what is really not good UNK to do business 1 easy transition read lot of books and while on recent business trip one of my colleagues was using nook checked it out and was impressed with how book like the text looked and so decided would look into getting one researched both the kindle and nook among others and settled on kindle the transition from paper book to book was easy and reading even more than did before highly recommended 1 kindle 3g the service was great received my kindle in one week from being shipped am very happy with it no problems thanks 1 would be stars if they supported the full wifi UNK with the new higher contrast screen the reading experience is now actually better than physical book in my opinion and with the smaller bezel can now read with one hand granted have large UNK hands but it very easy for me to hold it in my palm and use my thumb to turn pages the one con is that they didn implement the full wifi UNK for some reason it doesn support UNK to UNK wifi so if you re hoping to UNK it to your cell phone for example you re out of luck at least for now hopefully they ll fix this soon 1 love it love it love it love the kindle debated for many months to buy or not to buy turns out made the best decision to wait as purchased the latest generation kindle just after it became available it is perfect for me read lying on my back live with back pain the kindle is easy to hold light and turn pages with the UNK touch of finger or thumb books can be heavy and harder to hold than the kindle and turning pages requires bit more movement am able to hold the kindle for longer periods of time than can hold book downloading books is easy and super fast the kindle holds charge for many many days have downloaded 12 books at total cost of 11 00 this is the best device ever checked them all out for the price and the action the kindle is my choice am looking forward to traveling with the kindle in the past would pack three or four books and lug them around now simply pick up the kindle and go with as many books as have downloaded and can download new books at any wi fi hot spot in the usa and many other countries world wide 1 pleased simple to use easy on the eyes the adjustable font makes it easier for my less than great eye sight am very pleased with this purchase from amazon 1 luv my kindle have had it very short time but it is all was hoping for 1 great purchase just love the kindle 3g love that can read while working out on UNK and treadmill book would never stay well but this is great very light weight love actual books so thought have hard time getting used to the kindle but that wasn the case so glad bought one 1 like my kindle except finally jumped into reader world received my kindle wi fi and have been very happy with how easy it was to set up and start reading the screen is comfortable to read navigation is straight forward the ability to highlight and take notes is essential in short like everything about the kindle experience except except can loan share books with colleagues like to read professional books talk to colleagues about the books would like to be able to share the books with them if buy print book can easily loan it to my friends can loan my ebooks this is UNK for me developing professional library in kindle format can buy used book for few dollar and share it with my friends can buy kindle edition for UNK and can share it some cases can buy new paper version of the book for the same or less than the kindle edition the pricing structure seems wrong be much more willing to build my kindle library could loan books 1 UNK la UNK es que me ha UNK es una UNK lo aacute pido que UNK el UNK de su pantalla 1 more than lives up to my expectations oct 2010 ok so ve only had it day but after reading 350 kindle ebooks on my pc mac and iphone this year to actually experience the device on which they were meant to live is UNK pleasure my kindle was easy to start using easy to operate and feels good in my hands the screen is the perfect size and surprisingly crisp waiting for beautiful custom made cover from oberon designs to protect it can say enough positive things about my birthday gift update UNK 2011 kudos to amazon customer service my kindle screen was beginning to fade and amazon immediately sent me replacement electronics aren perfect but amazon customer service is pretty UNK close 1 fantastic the kindle is perfect for person with very busy schedule with its portability light weight and easy access it is perfect for the person who only has time to read on the fly would suggest purchasing good cover for your kindle it will UNK protection when UNK it into whatever bag or purse one is using the only downside to this product is that it is too easy to buy books 1 awesome little gadget shame about the sort function love nearly all of my new kindle the good it has totally fixed my eye strain which came from reading on back lit pda screens kindle has no back lighting at all the screen is easy to read just like book and the font size is adjustable from tiny to absolutely massive which is great if you have poor eyesight it UNK should be read with bed side lamp or the like it very light the mp3 player function is lovely quality and there volume at the base you can adjust there is no way to do playlist on it what you drag and drop over music wise is what it will play in alphabetical order you can skip ahead and pause one strange UNK is that when you turn off your kindle the music keeps playing so remember to pause it first then turn it off the battery life is great and charge mine via the UNK usb cable with my laptop it just keeps going and going the down side sort function like my books to be ordered by most recent first that is the most recent one am reading appears at the top of the list the second most recent one is under that and so on the kindle seems to think most recent means the date your kindle acquired the book which is UNK if like me you copy over whole batch of books at the same time that means it completely random what at the top as it stands if want to leave book am reading go to the home screen to say change setting then go back to that book have to then scroll through all 11 pages of books have to find my current book again am not happy with that very frustrating UNK when have two pages or fewer of books the sort function seems to work what the another down side due to its width unless you have huge hands you need one hand to hold it and the other hand to turn the page if that doesn bother you then great it slightly annoying to me you must lie flat on your back with kindle on UNK to do one handed page turns or else prop it up against UNK the other down side is the quality of the audio reader is poor yes you expect robotic voice but this is robotic voice that clips the first micro second of each word requiring UNK to understand what is being said fortunately don need to use this function and pity those who do all in all it fine product excellent value and it UNK my reading if they could fix that sort function give it five stars 1 kindle battery life my battery only lasts days don get me wrong love my kindle but the battery does not last UNK near the ads claim they even replaced my first kindle free and the second one is the same it true of my husband too 1 love at first read well this thing could not be any better for reading books the simplicity makes it more likely that this will be the first thing you pick up when you have spare time to read or are UNK UNK session because you will have this with you all the time its so easy to take with you anywhere 1 my best UNK one of the best birthday gifts that have ever received kindle is one of the best products of amazon love each and every moment holding it and reading stuff on it use it for work purposes as well as for pleasure and love reading novels it doesnt hurt my eyes anymore unlike when reading on laptop and believe the contrast is better than real book have successfully convinced one of my friends to buy kindle UNK he too loves reading but since he travels lot he doesnt UNK himself carrying books physically so kindle would be an appropriate thing to satisfy the UNK for reading books every penny spent on kindle is totally worth it 1 enjoyable reading device have looked at several reading devices but glad picked the kindle really like all the features on the kindle along with the blogs and newspapers subscribe to the wall street journal and download the paper everyday don get all the pictures and the pretty things from the original paper but still get the full article and that all really need don like that the screen is not back lit at night but the cover with the built in light makes up for that the cover and light is perfect have no problems reading the screen at night do not be UNK by the pictures while purchasing this item if had to be picky would move the buttons that turn the pages lower on the device it becomes uncomfortable after awhile of reading and pushing the buttons to turn the page just feel if it was lower it would make it easier also did not notice it has bad until installed the cover but once again really being picky really enjoy the device and plan on purchasing one for my mother for christmas 1 latest generation kindle really like the latest generation kindle have first generation kindle that still works well the clarity of the print on the latest generation is much better than the first the smaller page turning tabs are better don accidentally turn the page as much it took little bit to get used to the four direction pad instead of the roller found that the roller is faster for scrolling than the pad am now able to search for books and order through my kindle could never access the whispernet but the wi fi is great the latest kindle is lighter weight and just joy to read from for anyone that loves to read the kindle is perfect can take carry on now when traveling because don need to pack 10 books for vacation just kindle love my kindle 0 not as good as advertised bought the kindle couple of weeks ago and am not as happy with it as thought would be learned that the text to speech was way to listen to book in your car well can only understand about 85 of what the robot says didn know it was going to be read by robot also no back light doesn help when want to read at night and if the battery dies it can take up to 30 UNK to reboot that not fun it seems to me like this product can integrate more up to date technology like touch screen etc 1 super kindle great and haven done anything yet except download books and magazine newspaper and blog read one book loved using it being able to adjust type size is major help everything could ask the only problem is UNK why when have money on UNK with amazon do have to use credit card to download anything 1 outstanding customer service dropped my kindle and damaged it called customer service and was told that my kindle was just out of the warranty period but that they could extend it and new kindle would be sent to me received my new kindle the next day saturday UNK also UNK up couple of things with my accounts couldn have asked for any better service needless to say won even look at another brand when it comes time to replace or upgrade my current kindle they have me for life 1 kindle 3g wi fi love it would recommend to anyone have had first and second generation now have the latest generation with 3g wi fi they just keep getting better 1 kindle amazing didn think like it as much as do use lots of public transport here in sydney and it is easier to carry than the books ve been reading wish had gotten one sooner 1 love it easy easy easy fun fun fun lot of UNK in content very light and easy to use 1 fantastic it feels like book but better 20 pages into the first book and forgot was using an electronic device 50 pages into the first book and remembered it was an electronic device because it allowed me to search for the definition of word great device 1 amazing purchasing the kindle has been one of the best purchases ve made it is truly an amazing device it like carrying an entire library around in your hand or coat pocket reading in direct bright sunlight no problem and downloading from amazon wispernet is breeze am pleased with the gray color and especially with the 3rd generation UNK size it perfect 1 good technology and UNK good technology the screen is amazing and the inch version is sized well it fits in my pocket for one thing but also the screen size seems just right to prevent my eyes from UNK and scanning side to side during casual reading reducing eye fatigue lot mind you eye fatigue while reading isn personally problem for me however reading more narrow page increases my reading speed lot meaning my reading pace is set by my comprehension rather than by how fast can set and UNK my focus to that end the kindle is wide enough to fill my view with information but not so wide that finish line and then occasionally find ve skipped line or started to reread the same line the screen itself is more advanced form of technology that impressed me in its UNK don be UNK the resolution is not as high as you think they use all font rendering UNK including sub UNK rendering and anti UNK so rather than sharp black lines you are seeing UNK UNK with blurry grey UNK the eink display handles this UNK well it supplies only 16 shades of gray yet the sub UNK rendering UNK manage to create what looks like extremely high UNK UNK on extremely smooth UNK paper the overall appearance of text on the kindle screen is that of the highest quality print on the UNK paper possible it UNK this well enough to seem like different kind of print rather than an electronic display attempting to UNK print turn wifi on for few minutes at time to sync and download thus far the kindle lasted almost month before recharged it at power wifi UNK power like crazy 3g UNK but didn get 3g my only gripe is that while we can put man on the UNK we cannot make smooth and obvious method for hitting up amazon de and amazon co UNK to build library on one single kindle including german japanese english chinese french italian whatever language books you want want to find book UNK in its UNK and have amazon go well here it in chinese want to go on amazon de find book hit lt lt read this on my kindle and have amazon de somehow figure out maybe by me telling it that have us kindle on us amazon com no big deal the book will just go there then even finding book on amazon com and hitting other languages and picking french out should be possible kindle books harry potter in french send to my kindle that however takes some effort by amazon to figure out what UNK are the same book in languages just like figuring out which books are UNK and second editions so maybe not so far what we have is small selection of books in various languages on amazon com specifically the bible in german is there some japanese and chinese books are there there plenty of fantasy UNK in germany and italy but not much of it available here as UNK find this unfortunate 1 what not to like talked to everyone saw with kindle including UNK on airplanes they all loved theirs with zero reservations so bought one and love it too the battery life is great and the reading experience is very book like ve ordered up books in hotels and airports very easily and the downloads are super fast to be clear though the screen is only black and white and you can read it in the dark just like book so if you enjoy reading books with the convenience of amazon inventory then this ebook is for you 1 must have there isn much more can say about this product that no one else has said but wanted to comment that can leave the house without my phone but cannot leave the house without my kindle this product is just amazing and with the upcoming feature of lending books what else can say awesome love my kindle and reading has never been so easy for someone who is always on the go getting in chapter here and there is no problem highly recommend if you re thinking about purchasing your first ereader or just upgrading your kindle this is must have 1 kindle 3g review it takes little while to get used to the changes from kindle like the graphite color really like the UNK of the print it makes big difference have trouble with the navigation device the down arrow is very close to the back button and often hit back by mistake and have to start over this is annoying have used my kindle to read over 100 books last year and hope to at least equal that with the kindle it is lighter weight and smaller making it easier to carry with you it will fit into my jacket pocket 1 love my kindle the 3g kindle is everything wanted when first used it and the screen UNK when turned the page thought oh no going to hate this it took me about minutes to realize did not notice the flash or the unit itself became part of the story just like when read paper book it is worth every penny 0 terrible warranty buyers beware amazon itself doesn have much UNK in the quality of this product purchased an earlier version of the kindle about year and half ago and the other day it broke screen went crazy note take extremely good care of my kindle because up until now ve loved the thing but amazon says it only has one year warranty and that my only options are to spend 90 to send it in and receive repaired device UNK owned by someone else or buy new one UNK purchased but not even cracked several kindle books and those will not be UNK if choose to leave kindle altogether lifelong amazon customer but this whole experience is turning me off the company altogether they clearly don value my business and one year is joke if your ipod breaks apple UNK you new one no questions asked because they want you to keep buying songs on itunes seems the same rule should apply here 1 kindle brings world of books to small town reader live in town some distance from UNK with no book store which has not been as bad as it sounds my fellow readers have been very good about including me in the great UNK of beloved books but have missed getting to read new titles when they come out so can UNK in the conversation that UNK new releases like UNK UNK freedom and this month UNK UNK UNK delighted to be so current besides UNK my passion for fiction ve already UNK my UNK to this excellent mode of reading although continue to get the weekend newspapers for the UNK and UNK enjoying kindle daily blog about books getting the nyt book review and UNK into samples of UNK don know have no time for tv any more and can hardly wait for bedtime so can continue my reading UNK the newest version of kindle with wi fi works as fast and smart as my 2nd gen kindle that operates on 3g like the improved contrast and really appreciate the lighter package would recommend kindle do every day 1 believer am an avid reader who put off getting kindle because love the feel of book in my hand plus thought it would be like reading from my monitor and the story would lose its magic however because am such an avid reader and like to keep my books they create an enormous amount of clutter having filled my bookshelves have UNK of them stacked along the UNK in my bedroom and anywhere else can find one day just got tired of looking at the mess and thought would try kindle since the price is now reasonable 139 figured if hated it could sell it well love it the pages look like pages in paper book except you can adjust the font size etc to your liking no more looking for my UNK every time want to read you can browse books magazines newspapers and blogs from all over the world the download is immediate but you can also pre order and the book will be there on the day of release the page turning is fast and easy if you turn the unit off or go to different function when you return to your book you come right back to the last page you were reading plus you have virtual library with you wherever you go there was short adjustment period of maybe an hour or two to get used to the feel of the device etc but is really easy to get used to could go on much longer but think my point is made if you love to read lot and want no more clutter plus super light convenient way to always have your books with you along with lot of other cool features then get kindle 1 kindle wanted device to read my numerous pdf documents and kindle fits the bill kindle is extremely easy to use and moving the books from my computer to the kindle is an effortless event the only suggestion have for making this better is to have means to UNK fit the text to the page without having to scroll around or wear UNK 1 worth it it convenient light weight easy to read great on trip not enough titles available many things wanted to read were not there 1 techie treasure purchased the kindle for my husband who loves anything technical you may think that it is just an improvement on reading but it is so much more you download books onto the kindle many books for the kindle are free or very inexpensive the font size can easily be UNK so that anyone can read from it if you do not want to read it will audio read to you the size is perfect and so lightweight you can take it anywhere my husband favorite part is the free 3g when the dsl was down at his work he was able to check his email and search the internet the battery life is exceptionally long we like the graphite color instead of the optional white after doing research we found that people who bought it in white discovered that the plastic UNK much easier than the graphite ones we put skin on the front and back screen protector and bought carrying case to protect it even further you can read in all kinds of light without glare you have all your books in one place you can highlight word and get the definition for that word if you are reading book and it references another book it allows you to go to that other book it even has built in games the only downside is that it doesn have color but that is not problem for us the problem is that my husband has turned into kindle junkie 1 the ebook standard was hesitant about getting an ebook reader but now convert to this technology my main purpose in getting this was to UNK all my research often in pdf doc or UNK format into small portable device for easy reading anywhere it meets my needs except for the pdf conversion which is hit or miss some pdf docs convert to readable form but about pdfs of UNK do not and transfer to the device in extremely small print the magnification and scrolling feature for the UNK pdfs needs work and it too burdensome to conveniently review the UNK pdfs if the pdf conversion worked flawlessly on all such docs would have rated the kindle five stars amazon free transfer of personal docs in the wireless version is amazingly quick and was big selling point for me also am impressed with the ability to bookmark my own notes within documents as for the device itself it is not too small and not too big like an pad and the screen has the contrast of page from book it easy to change font size and turning pages is convenient with buttons on both sides of the device if you re looking for small portable affordable device to read your converted docs or books this is the one to get also highly recommend the leather cover that holds the kindle with side clips in the binder 1 kindle wireless wi fi it is nice size easy to read even in sunlight long battery life without having to charge it for very long time the UNK is little difficult to press so you need to be careful if you don have wi fi at home it is easy to download books from amazon to your computer and upload to your kindle also purchased the leather cover with booklight wonderful accessory 0 UNK love my kindle at least did until they started charging nearly 15 00 for new releases the whole idea behind kindle was UNK reading at reasonable price kindle editions should never be more than paperback amazon you need to step up to the publishers 1 kindle review have had this kindle version for about month and the only thing don like is the keyboard the lettering is not sharp or bright and it is hard to see the letters in low light also the lettering appears to be fading after month of use 1 gave it as gift and have only heard good things gave this as gift to my mom who is an avid reader wasn sure she would like reading from an electronic device but she loves it she is 60 years old and she is totally digging the ease at which she can download all the cool stuff for her kindle highly recommend this item actually need to get one myself 1 kindle wireless UNK wi fi sometimes graphite my wife has 2nd gen kindle which has been excellent when saw that the 3rd gen was about half the price wanted one my first one arrived but the wireless would not work with any of my routers tried every UNK before sending it back oddly could see that my UNK server was receiving ip UNK but for some reason the kindle would not hold onto it even static ip did not work sent it back the 2nd one was stolen in shipping ups said they left it on my UNK which would have meant long delay amazon waits longer to replace international orders luckily for me the person that obtained my kindle attempted to purchase book on my account not sure it such good idea to send the device pre registered it worked out for me however since this gave me the proof that the device was not UNK UNK in ups truck UNK so they disabled the device remotely and sent me another can blame amazon for the shipping problem but don like that the device is pre registered to my account it should at the very least prompt for password the 3rd try is mostly great exactly what hoped for except that the wireless sometimes has trouble connecting oddly have better luck with one of my routers when couple UNK away with fewer bars if it connects it stays connected and works flawlessly none of my laptops ipods or computers have any trouble connecting to any of my routers would give this device star rating if they worked out the kinks in wireless connection should have paid the extra 40 for the 3g connectivity hopefully an upcoming firmware upgrade will increase the reliability 1 my kindle absolutely love my kindle am disabled person with use of only one hand and this is the best way to read book with paper books was constantly loosing my page as the book would close when was trying to turn the page now can lie in bed and prop the kindle on pillow and with just the touch of finger can get to the next page the book selection is the best you can get books for free or the actual cost of so many of the kindle books is minimal compared to actually buying them have recommended kindle to so many people since started using mine just love it 1 the kindle am getting on in years and never believed an electronic reading device would ever changed my habit of reading novel or history book that was not actually holding in my hand its hard to change lifelong habit but the kindle managed to do this to me in most UNK fashion there are many reasons for this to list here and you probably will have your own reasons once you try it like it because book can be downloaded immediately to your kindle and there is no shipping cost the book is in your kindle within seconds like it because books can be stored in the kindle and available to the reader by simply scrolling through the menu of stored books magazines or periodicals like the kindle because can make the font as big as need to without making my eyes tired like the kindle because can lie down in any position want and being able to turn the page with the UNK of finger or having to mark the page when stop reading it seems to me that can read book much faster than regular book because of the features have UNK already there are many other features that this electronic device makes available to you but the ones have UNK in this review are some of the most important to me the kindle is wonderful device and doubt will be purchasing too many paper like books other than the ones offered by kindle highly recommended it has made believer out of me 1 the magic of kindle watched kindle UNK finally couldn resist getting one first one was kindle ii which has traveled many UNK with me and been my companion as am an avid reader when the latest model came out once again couldn resist so now own two am great UNK for it having UNK it magic to both family and friends at every opportunity for anyone who enjoys reading would say it must have 1 love my kindle when purchased the kindle was not sure if would enjoy reading books in this manner but absolutely love it 1 perfect companion probably all have been said before just buy it if you want portable device perfect for reading suitable for listening to music capable of internet browsing and note taking display is perfectly readable even under direct UNK text to speech in english sounds almost natural battery life is great even with wireless on couple this device with UNK ebook library calibre and UNK in the world of fact or fiction as you please you have to watch the text UNK when converting ebooks this does not apply for english only readers of course the only UNK have to pick with amazon so far is that my friend ordered one on my recommendation and had it delivered on friday had to wait all the long weekend until monday UNK it was well worth the wait totally recommended purchase 1 first kindle recently bought version wi fi kindle am enjoying it immensely it is easy to use and light enough to be comfortable for long periods of reading the battery life is outstanding one plus for me is that many old books that enjoy are free or only 99 cents several old UNK of UNK UNK were dirt cheap ve had the kindle less than month and have read five books on it already you will like the kindle if you like to read would suggest two things to make good product even better small clip on the back to attach reading light to have very compact led reading light that hold against the back of the kindle while reading in bed late at night clip would allow me to have that hand free kindle app that would allow me to set my own pictures as background images it would be neat to have my pictures instead of some of the rather UNK pre loaded selections all in all am very happy with my new kindle 1 almost perfect love the new kindle the page turning layout they took from the nook are definitely an improvement over the old kindle as it is much more intuitive also the new kindle can read UNK without UNK which is absolutely fabulous and the little arrow keypad is huge improvement over the toggle also all sorts of other improvements wifi much higher contrast screen more memory better battery life smaller lighter the only thing that would make this kindle perfect is if they returned the number row currently you have to access it through the sym key and added more ebook formats that can be read are you listening amazon 1 UNK gratification never thought make the transition from books to kindle but can believe how easy and enjoyable it has been one of the best things is lying in bed and checking out new books to buy and having them arrive minutes later this is instant gratification combined with one of the most UNK and pleasurable experiences ever am very fast reader which has meant that when travelling ve had to accumulate pile of books and then trade off books against everything else my next trip is going to be really easy and here hoping ll benefit from having had to learn how few UNK really need 1 who needs paperback books since buying this ve UNK my love for reading it light and easy to handle made with an ergonomic material that easy to grip on the train whether standing or sitting can read my favorite books haven spent much time yet outside of the couple of books purchased but it appears that the kindle also has few fun games to play and some news readers there are still so many things to learn about kindle and for the price this is definitely worthy product have few friends that were early UNK of kindle and they re jealous of the sleek design of the new kindle as well as the price which makes me feel like now was the perfect time to buy 1 have and ipad and use this to read love my kindle have upgraded to the 3rd generation kindle and it is the best one yet bought the one with 3g used to 3g since that feature was included with the first two the increase in the contrast is great for reading it so slim and having the forward and back buttons on both sides really makes sense not thrilled that they took the numbers off the keyboard really use the go to location feature lot and having the extra step of using the symbol key seems little awkward actually took time to read the directions and there is shortcut for getting to the numbers without opening the symbol screen the screen real estate is so big and with the contrast being so much more intense reading on this kindle such pleasure it amazing to me how they ve come down in price paid over 300 00 for the first one and the design was not terrific they ve ironed out all the flaws added so much control over the type leading UNK fonts and really dropped the price what more can you ask for the kindle app lets me sync my pages between my ipad and my kindle sometimes use my ipad to read in front of the tv but always use my kindle to read to sleep in bed and it just UNK me that it knows where am in the book on this kindle you can go right out from the book to get description of the book and read customer reviews love that sometimes buy bunch of books and by the time get around to reading them need UNK course to remind me what they re about 1 very good reader id does everything and plus would expect from reader very easy to use extremely good screen no refreshing working very fast ability to put any files reading main file types wifi ability to adjust fonts size and text layout text to voice really understandable very light weight holds battery charge for weeks even with wifi on supports international characters without any changes or special settings UNK space mp3 player and price very appropriate 1 kindle for my husband this is the first time have ever ordered from amazon would like to say that am very pleased and impressed with the service update and UNK that had received from amazon it was great experience to UNK the UNK and speedy delivery was going to buy an ipad for my husband but thought not many people will have kindle in when lot more people will have an ipad besides we already have an iphone and UNK that could already do what an ipad can do but as bigger device wanted to be different what have read and learned about the kindle liked saw that the books were cheaper and faster to download rather buying the cover books and waiting for the UNK kindle is more friendly user rather than and ipad which you have to use the net to set apps etc the only downside of owning kindle that have noticed so far is that the books that are available is more fiction and not enough historical non fiction books hope that it will change in the future my husband is very pleased with his kindle big ups to amazon 1 love it love my new kindle so lightweight perfect for travel taking to the gym or reading in bed currently reading UNK page book that would have been pain to lug around so easy to use even techno challenged person such as myself has no problems using it UNK recommended 1 great this is my second kindle and love it they make wonderful gift as well for all the readers in your family we purchased one for our daughter and she enjoys it as much as do gift that keeps on giving 1 in love with my kindle my review goes as this love my kindle last year received it as christmas gift and to be honest wasn in the gadget receiving mode even said to my husband don think read enough to have kindle the look on his face is quite comparable to the look on my credit card UNK each month when look at them probably read twice as much now and don know how ever got on without it went camping this weekend and had UNK kindle right along side even met some UNK who were UNK and avid readers and UNK my UNK back in the dark with UNK UNK on to bring my kindle to them to show them got the so old fashioned when it comes to reading have to have pages yeah yeah ve heard that no wait ve said that when was so UNK about never buying single book again my husband was like why sure you can well guess what haven and tell that to the person who is reading book and finds out it series and has to read what going on next right now not hours later when the store opens do hold kindle UNK for me losing several hours sleep just for the UNK of being able to do such good thing really am on the UNK UNK side the teacher she ll give it try and she ll love it still love books mags and newspaper but must say honestly atleast once week hold up my kindle and UNK it and tell my husband it one of the best gifts ever did buy UNK for my kindle that clips on to it so can read by it or balance flash light on my UNK because at he gets little UNK when he turns over and the light is still on personally like that it doesn have much going on with it like touch screens and color think the color would distract me and pull me away from the page the screen has paper looking back ground and have made my adjustments to the font to make it little bigger haven UNK it to UNK potential but say the same about my cell phone use it for reading and that about it one day maybe ll UNK around more did read on UNK review about the battery and that it is replaced with another kindle all together that is some info that did not know and hopefully by the time need one there will be another way of battery replacement maybe kindle should set up UNK and do battery change for customers while they wait we could go into bookstore and look around and see what new books we want buy for our kindles 1 my first reader and love it read so many reviews before finally making the purchase got the cover week or so ago it was very UNK without the kindle kindle finally arrived and more than pleased with my investment read nearly hundred pages last night and within few minutes was completely in UNK with it so easy to operate didn experience any problems the light on the cover UNK on off few times right when started using it but then stayed on without any more issues maybe it was loose in the connections or something will definitely be reading more than normal because now have instant access to the bookstore live nearly an hour from any of the major UNK this is the best gadget ve purchased in long time 1 loving my kindle recently bought the third generation kindle and love it commute to work on the trains in japan and with the kindle my hour on the train seems like five minutes it is so easy to carry and use now find myself reading twice as much as before any serious reader needs this product 1 even better than thought it would be ve had my new kindle for about week and am in love it is even better than thought it would be the screen is very crisp and easy to read had tried to read books on other devices in the past but had never considered them proper substitute for the printed page never thought books could UNK the feeling you get when you read physical book my UNK have changed since received my kindle reading on the kindle feels just like reading book except the kindle is more comfortable to hold was originally concerned about the somewhat jarring effect during page transitions but after few minutes didn even notice it using the kindle is simple and intuitive thanks to UNK button placement and menu structure the device itself feels very solid and well built it will hold ton of books have about two hundred on mine already and still have gb free can imagine ever filling it up one more thing the web browser works way better than expected not exactly going to get rid of my laptop but you can browse the web quite effectively with this device pages load quickly and are easy to read even without having to zoom in and pan around of course you can watch video on it but it will do just about everything else it great bonus feature and will come in handy sure couldn be happier with my new kindle it great value and would strongly recommend it to any book lover 1 kindel love my kindel can put it down first time dont have UNK with my eyes after reading any length of time because now can control the size of the font 0 UNK not very happy with my recent purchase of my kindle it seems every book would like to read is not available to purchase could have purchased the books wanted for less than the price of the kindle 1 the amazing kindle excellent purchased the kindle prior to vacation was not entirely convinced that would like it since like the feel smell and experience of holding real book in my hands but the price was reasonable so decided to give it try have had my kindle for month now and cannot imagine life without it it is convenient light easy to use easy on my eyes and just about perfect find myself reading even more than before because it is convenient to carry and use love the option of searching for book on line and having it download immediately also love the great selection of free and inexpensive books available the battery life is super it charges quickly and lasts very long time if you are on the fence about this my recommendation is to buy it it is amazing 1 kindle 3g wifi awesome love being able to download books in seconds any where anytime have had so much fun with it so handy to carry in my purse and read any time have to wait the UNK is great battery saver for when fall asleep at night reading 1 kindle 3g received my kindle 3g christmas day by evening had downloaded several books and began reading also received leather cover for it as was reading my first novel which was so easy to download forgot was holding kindle and automatically tried to turn the next page as if was holding book it surprised me how fast became familiar and UNK with the kindle live in an area where it is difficult to find variety of books written in english so this has made it so much easier for me to enjoy my passion for reading my only small UNK is that prefer the UNK colour of paper book pages at my age it is easier to see the print on lighter background would like to see school text books become available as books this would make the life of student so much easier and they wouldn have to carry the heavy back packs and suffer early back UNK how easy for the UNK if all they had to do is name the book the student required and in five minutes they were reading it go amazon go 1 love my kindle really love my new kindle loved my old kindle but couldn pass up the new one so now have two that way not such kindle UNK and my family can occasionally read book on kindle now too for me the kindle are UNK became quite ill few years ago and its been virtually impossible for me to get books the traditional way browsing in book stores etc am voracious reader so the shipping costs were getting out of hand reading is great UNK UNK for me without it think lose my UNK grateful for my kindles the kindle opened up great new UNK for me to not only read my favorite authors but was introduced to so many other authors and genres as well the clarity of the pages are beautiful the system is insanely easy to work with and can choose the book want and have it within 30 seconds and there so much more highly recommend this product and have to anyone who reads 1 UNK kindle this product is outstanding read faster with kindle read more frequently since can bring my kindle with me with greater ease the only thing don like is the page numbering system and the ease of going back to passages but the ease of reading speed read faster than before because of the improved clarity the ability to easily bring your library with you practically anywhere and spending less on books now that am retired read four or five books month makes the kindle worth it and my wife no longer complains about all the books accumulate around the house 1 kindle used by UNK year old man my husband asked me to purchase book reader for him and friends who have kindles recommended it he is very happy with the kindle and he is UNK 1 love my kindle have had my kindle for couple of weeks now and couldn be happier with it the words are crisp and clear and easier to read than all of my paper backs that have doesn matter if am indoors or out its great would recommend this to anyone who loves to read 1 kindle 3g wireless is awesome ve been using the latest kindle for only couple of weeks now and love it bought it to become more UNK in my reading less paper usage by not buying physical books and to make access to variety of reading material easier it is everything had hoped and expected the page turn buttons are easy and haven caused me any issues accidental page turning was complaint for earlier versions the screen is very easy on the eyes work on laptop all day and my eyes become UNK shot not so with the kindle the ink technology is outstanding it is also much easier to manage than large or thick books currently reading book that is close to 000 pages in print and yet only have to heft my kindle to enjoy it this is very UNK for commuting or other travel the wireless connectivity to the kindle store is outstanding UNK had recommended book for me to read on professional topic and tried for the first time to directly buy the book through my kindle activated my kindle wireless connection searched the kindle store found the book bought it and downloaded it all in less than minutes while in my UNK no trip to the book store required which was fantastic highly recommend this latest gen kindle 1 love it with one major reservation have the 139 model and bought it because have wifi at home and it really not difficult to hold back some impulse buying of books the UNK off period is UNK although right now reading two separate books with one waiting in the UNK amazon has an enormous UNK of classical world literature that can be added at no cost unless you want current UNK of classics written in foreign language tried for days barnes noble nook it fine device but book collection is not as extensive as amazon and had few issues with how it operated also found it less than user friendly to download free books from website that specialized in pdf books after returning it after few weeks of thought decided to give the kindle test drive and within few days fell in love with it UNK and historical books include large UNK of pictures and illustrations the nook for the most part lacked that feature which for me is negative and one of the causes why returned mine for refund if you want to look up word with the nook you need to type in the word with the kindle all you need to do is position the cursor to the left of the word and the definition pulled from either the oxford american dictionary default or the full oxford dictionary changing dictionary UNK is easy to do if UNK correctly the nook has only one dictionary available which is UNK which does not contain every single word for look up purposes with the kindle you will not have this problem there are two major design flaws with my kindle the control buttons on the right hand side are little UNK to use because other control buttons are easy to accidentally hit also the center of the control buttons is bit hard to work as an enter key one of things liked about the nook was the touch screen keyboard here the keyboard is at the bottom of the unit and not as easily to use also similar to the nook ease of navigation is not as smooth as would like it to be since it is my companion during UNK UNK ride on train or bus makes usage of bookmarking reviewing UNK and notes little difficult not impossible but somewhat bothersome like the nook the kindle on its own sometimes UNK to different command ie delete mode one has to be extra careful not to automatically press the enter button but putting aside those flaws the unit operation is generally smooth selling for 139 this is real bargain if you re like me and almost always carry the book you re reading this is so much easier to carry along either in my briefcase or on days that end with visit to the gym UNK the load of carrying big book is now not problem highly recommend it 1 lovin it love my amazon kindle the only thing would change is the page numbering though even getting used to that it would also be great if in canada we could access the program that UNK you to change pdf files into kindle files otherwise find it amazing take it everywhere with me 1 UNK kindle review the UNK is outstanding but could use more support on graphics UNK in converted pdf file 1 adore my kindle after months of consideration finally broke down and got myself kindle couldn be happier it so light and compact and so very easy to use love the convenience of buying books wherever whenever 1 love my kindle 3g wireless ve had my kindle for month now and love it it my very first book reader so don have lot to compare it to however have played with the kobo reader and the kindle just blows it out of the water the screen is amazing and really like the text to speech function my favourite thing about the kindle is that can download books directly to the device without hooking it up to my computer haven had any UNK with freezing or any other glitches that others have reported and also haven experienced any of the writing and letters on the UNK wearing off as others have super happy 1 has me reading again years ago used to read all the time would go through book or two each month slow reader after bought my ipod touch all did was watch UNK and movies now with the kindle back to reading again actually excited to see what great books are out there this is one of the best purchases ve made in long time 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device ve wanted kindle for long time finally got one for my birthday it is everything hoped for easy reading UNK type size quick downloads of new books and ease of use the only thing would change is to have back lighting so could read in bed without disturbing my wife 1 love my kindle love my kindle take it every where it reads just like book just wish that it had reading light 1 free from paper will never again be forced to UNK search for something to read can get new book at any time what relief love how can adjust the size of the print was worried that it would feel weird to read book that doesn have two UNK when it open but the leather cover fixed that the first thing did with my kindle was drop it even before turned it on and in fact as soon as opened the box the kindle was fine and ve managed to drop it few more times and it still fine wish there were page turner tabs on the top so that could read longer sentence length but ve adapted and am truly happy recently was UNK with severe UNK and have to get rid of dust collecting books or put them behind glass the kindle solves that problem completely can still read everything want without the UNK of storing or UNK away the book 1 best development since UNK what great development in publishing convenient easy to use and lightweight 1 suggestion for kindle improvement this isn really review though will say the kindle is great product that has definite place for me even though basically still love reading printed books ve found that the UNK reaching forward to turn pages when the kindle is UNK in front of me my favorite reading style leaves me with an UNK UNK and want to suggest the addition of simple remote that only turns pages which could takes UNK like form or sit on band around the palm thanks 1 UNK kindle really enjoy using my new kindle still becoming familiar with all the features it can do so much more than realized main UNK was UNK the best reader capabilities the convenience is great the light weight is plus the non glare pages are superb actually find myself UNK more time to read love the fact it remembers where you are in each book so much more to say but UNK to say kindle is UNK 1 kindle love going on just love love my kindle for me who is always on the go its wonderful to have my kindle handy at all times can read whatever want to anytime did get the kindle 3g just for extra function on the go no problems so far on service anywhere anytime don think is was necessarily worth the extra money overall the kindle does what it say and you can read on the go and have many choices of what to read right in one neat little package 1 first ereader superb experience have my kindle for over month now and ve been using it daily in one word superb ve been looking into buying an ereader for months and was thinking to get the sony prs 600 but when amazon announced kindle3 immediately ordered the wifi only version don feel like need 3g just get all the books want downloaded at home so set for while if know not going to get wifi UNK few days bought several books even before got my kindle and they all downloaded perfectly upon arrival wifi works as charm reading is very smooth and easy no glare it looks almost exactly like reading paper book since read lot and most often very large and heavy books kindle is great for carrying around take it with me almost everywhere to work for those few minutes need to wait for UNK on the train abroad can appreciate the built in web browser it does what want allow me to check my email and check few websites when don have laptop ipod on me kindle froze twice on me but hard restart solved the issue don think this is very annoying since computer needs that UNK sometimes in short kindle is product that would recommend to everyone if they re into reading 1 love it first ordered the kindle with wifi when received it realized all the cool stuff it would do so returned the wifi one and got the 3g wish it had back light it is great for its purpose 1 love it love my new kindle the product is very easy to use no problem figuring out the navigation the text is very easy

satisfied with the product love it 1 just love it just love it it is so clear and easy to read had trouble getting it set up my fault but excellent assistance got me going highly reccomend it 1 kindle 3g love it have read three books on my new kindle 3g and so far it exceeds all expectations it is easy to download books easy to see and read light weight to handle the pages are very clear and easy on the eyes highly recommend the kindle 3g 1 what will the next version look like this is my second kindle and need say any more other than will always have kindle how much better can it get 1 3g kindle great recently purchased the 3g wireless kindle reader absolutely love it it so light and compact take it on the bus every day on the way to and from work and read my books easy to download new material long battery life recommend thoroughly for people who regularly read and or purchase books you save on space and extra bookshelves and you save on purchasing books because they are much cheaper via the kindle store it really great best thing ve bought in long time 1 kindle this is great product at very good price being able to access the internet for emails etc is great bonus along with all the free books available it is easy on the eyes to read and user friendly 1 love it the kindle 3g wireless is lightweight easy to use and fills definite need for me it especially useful when traveling because only have to carry one book with me finish one downloading new one took less than minute on my last trip it keeper 1 kindle wireless reading device inch display the main unit itself is great easy to read easy to use also like the fact you can sample book to decide whether you want to buy it or not what do not like is the fact the power supply went out on the unit shortly after purchase was told by service UNK replacement unit would be shipped overnight the following day receive UNK email that the replacement will not be sent until the UNK of october this is obviously an inconvenience if want to charge the unit have to UNK an already used usb port on my computer or go out and purchase UNK the accessories especially power supplies should be readily available for cases just like this 1 kindling in japan love my kindle it has been my favorite since got it now can read book anywhere at anytime like in japan like the new kindle especially now supports japanese fonts 3g wi fi wow however wished it had option support for japanese interface too that way can share my kindle experience with more friends in japan most of my japanese friends find the kindle great but when it comes to hands on the kindle they UNK away pretty quickly when asked if they want one it has definitely nothing to do with the current price tag on the kindle for the UNK they are more UNK to purchase sony reader simply because they feel at easy with the japanese interface this meant even if they had to pay small sacrifice of poor readability some other opinions they cannot read or understand much english they cannot search book in japanese they don like searching books in english etc also most books on amazon com are in english and not japanese it would be nice to be able to look up book in japanese once in while overall cannot UNK that my kindle is yet so far the best deal out there 1 almost there this device is already thoroughly reviewed so won bother UNK too much that you ve already read love my kindle but can give it five stars when the few problems that it does have are so easily UNK and UNK auto standby there is no option to change the amount of time that UNK before the kindle goes to auto standby edit 10 minutes of UNK this is annoying when you are working out of textbook and you aren changing pages very often auto standby basically takes the page off of your screen and replaces it with preloaded picture on that note you have no choice of the set of pictures that display when it goes on auto standby it will randomly choose picture from the many on there the kindle should allow you to choose which pictures appear two other options it should have blank screen and page you are currently on it would be neat if maybe it would just show the cover art for the book you re currently reading as another option these are really small issues and shouldn stop you from buying one it is much lighter than carrying actual books around bought the 3g version because UNK wikipedia and want it no matter where am it great that you get the whole web as well in case you really need to check your mail or the news but the browser isn the main focus of the device will most definitely UNK star if they remove the free internet access but for now you get the whole web stick to mobile versions of sites though the sound quality of the speakers surpasses the ipod touch which is kind of sad on the touch part considering it supposed to be music player text to speech on books sounds great though don use that feature too often this is my first kindle but have briefly used my friend first gen compared to the first gen the contrast looks lot better and the form factor is much nicer if possible will change my review to five star review if those two issues mentioned get UNK can see readers getting much better than this generation the only thing they could really add as far as reader features go would be color but that only really useful for textbook UNK for novels and the like the kindle is an amazing device it made bringing books with me so much more convenient and brought me back to the world of reading 1 kindle 3g wi fi love the ease and clarity of this device always have book with me and this makes it so easy to enjoy my stories 1 many good options but know should have known thought that could download any electronic book onto kindle never assume when could not find book was looking for on kindle tried kobo then was informed it would not work on kindle yet can do anything on my iphone maybe it should have been the ipad having said that kindle works well and thought the price was right really need the cover to protect it and provide the lighting just makes it more expensive 1 kindle love my kindle it is as much if not more than expected my daughter and granddaughter have kindle and so we are three generation kindle family you can take it anywhere and slip it in your purse better holding kindle than eight hundred page book 1 this is the coolest thing ever easy to read especially with text sizing options battery last forever feels comfortable in the hand or hands the texture and shape of the back of the device are really great if you love the feel in the hands of reading books you ll love this it is such comfortable and tactile device great for reading novels no eye strain like you get from an lcd web browser is pretty cool price is great for the value of this device definitely recommend you get an UNK account to use with it major upside of the kindle that doesn get mentioned lot it will fit in the back pocket of blue UNK men pants for sure UNK tried women why is that big deal get one and you ll find out it hard to explain but you can walk around with it in your pocket which means you re not carrying around device every time you take it out recommendations more direct UNK integration create an ad system to insert ads in between news and blog subscription articles and then lower the price of those subscriptions consider having these ads in ebooks to so that there can be cheaper option with ads and 10 option without them while making sure authors get paid would have no problem seeing UNK UNK UNK black and white UNK whilst reading UNK have quick button for changing orientation instead of going into the read options the quick button would UNK through portrait landscape portrait landscape with four quick presses it isn incredibly intuitive but much quicker and easier than the current method this is great device if you re not sure whether you ll like it or not buy it you will like it 1 love my kindle read alot my husband bought me the kindle for my birthday this month and love it it is so easy to download books you can bookmark it and when you return it brings you back to where you stopped reading my son bought me the black cover with reading light and that is wonderful am in the process of selling my paperback books have not read so can download them on my kindle don wait order yours now you will love it 1 amazing kindle this is the most amazing product amazons amazing kindle cannot believe have waited so long to purchase the kindle love to read and had almost quit reading because the print in books are so small with the kindle am able to increase the size of the font to be comfortable on my eyes am beach lover and it is great on the beach no blowing pages and it can be read perfectly in the sun it feels good in my hands and very easy to hold the kindle fits perfectly into my purse and it can be taken everywhere have had the kindle for 22 days and have just completed my UNK book ordered the UNK leather cover for it and it looks and feels great 1 absolutely in love lt absolutely love this device did lot of research and was UNK convinced was getting the best ereader for my money it small but not too small in which you can see the screen it lightweight so can carry it with me everywhere go ve had it for almost month now and ve only charged it once and it still has about half the battery left the ink is so easy to read it almost like an actual book do recommend book light if you re reading in dark environment love the experimental features on it can read or play game even browse the web while listening to my own music it easy to handle and even more easy to figure out will definitely recommend this to my friends and family and looking forward to other kindles in the future 10 10 1 review of kindle bought the kindle wifi for my wife and it arrived in excellent condition and she loves it the only negative have about it is that you have to figure out the password on your router and then put it in the kindle for the 3g model this apparently is not necessary after finding out the password and putting into the kindle it 100 and my wife is very happy with it 1 good idea but needs improvement bought the newest 3g wifi kindle and although like many of its features was still little disappointed in it first though it does tell you the percentage of the book you ve already read it doesn provide page numbers and would like that information next the background is grey and seems to be harder on my eyes would like it to be either white or adjustable 1 best kindle yet but few gripes was one of the first customers to have kindle and loved it had it for about year and then had to sell it due to hard times now that the kindle is more reasonably priced finally got new one while the screen and layout are much improved there is one that keeps it from being perfect the lack of jump ahead jump back feature for older books is killer with my kindle could easily jump ahead chapter with every book on the device heard that this was removed from the kindle and it has returned somewhat in the kindle while newer books allow this to occur with the new way controller more than half of my content amazon purchased around 25 or so has no functionality with this feature for these books have no choice but to manually go to the table of contents to go back few chapters not cool and not convenient every book that is purchased from amazon should have this functionality as it did on the kindle 99 of the books ve downloaded from other sources have this built in but the amazon content is hit or miss for some this won be big deal but for anyone jumping from the first generation to this one it needs to be pointed out from hardware perspective literally have no complaints the screen isn as gray as it was in the past the buttons make no audible UNK and the device is thin and light it easily the best dedicated reader on the market would give it stars if could but there should be UNK jumping ahead and jumping back as there was in the past 1 newest kindle 3rd generation this is great product it dedicated book reader so simple to use even novice will not have difficulty in using it the battery life is really awesome it only takes hours for complete charge you can read while you charge too the type size option is wonderful for people vision UNK well worth UNK cost of the kindle UNK 1 kindle UNK my reading habits very well made easy to read sometimes hit the advance button on the side while reading UNK if that the worst problem ever have with it ll be very satisfied 1 UNK kindle my husband purchased the kindle for me and really love it just the right size and so easy to use we really like the share feature by having one account we can each buy books and share with each other the archive feature works great 1 love it this is the best ever it so easy to read and fits in my pocketbook without struggle was little nervous about having purchased the wifi only model since do travel occasionally but when realized that when was out of range it would only impact my ability to order books and not to read the books on my home page stopped worrying the red leather cover is great looking thanks for the improvements 1 chinese friendly wish that kindle can support chinese UNK simple friendly no doubt china is or eventually will be huge market 1 the best book reader in the world my friend drop my kindle to the ground it UNK but both of us surprise the quality of the product still can use it at all thanks god thanks amazon 1 kindle stores so many books great for carrying on travel saves so much shelf space not as many books available for germany as for the us very comfortable reading 1 love it but am not UNK person who needs the latest gadget after seeing many people on the beach with these light weight readers decided it was time UNK when the 139 wi fi model came out read consumer reports who rated it highly for being reader which is all wanted it for it was extremely easy to set up down load books like that can change the font for my 50 UNK my biggest disappointment came when found out it is not compatible which the free UNK epub books my local library offers shame on me for not checking this out before purchased too bad the kindle can not do what the nook and sony reader can in this respect don mind buying books occasionally but in this UNK depend on my local library for bulk of my reading if the kindle was compatible with my local library it would be perfect 1 excellent product just lacking on some few features after doing all the research online selected kindle for the following reasons technology used there is no back light so it does not strain your eyes had read 700 pdf on my laptop and it was huge problem it really does reflect like real book cost is quite competitive compared to other ebook readers UNK reviewed kindle and sony reader based on performance and style in style sony was better but performance wise kindle was much better and that is what matters more you can search online for the video gave it star UNK reading pdf books is not that easy if you want to read it then you need to convert it to mobi format and then transfer 1 UNK device the display is gorgeous excellent for reading in direct sunlight it is light and pleasant to hold the speakers are good UNK life is beyond my expectations the web browser it is more than expected can use online UNK services read my gmail box search google etc have no regrets buying this device one thing don find it really comfortable is reading pdf files with lot of text per page it is hard to read this kind of pdf files would recommend it to everybody who wants an ereader 1 all that it said to be bought this for my girl friend who wanted one for while and she loves it she does UNK UNK and takes it with her whenever she goes to one and it made her work fun 1 kindle 3g review am enjoying my kindle lot it makes it real easy to read books from anywhere am traveling have also been able to free up some book shelf space by getting the books already own on the kindle also like the fact that the books am interested in are cheaper then going to book store also like the fact that there are over 16 000 free books that have lot of different genre to choose from to meet everyone reading pleasure as far as the experimental stuff keep working on it because it UNK the experience of owning kindle am learning new things about it all the time only one suggestion for the future come out with color screen UNK soon am very happy purchased kindle from amazon and not the nook from barnes noble 1 love the kindle have had it for about weak now and love it have over 22 books on it now and still going 1 new kindle better than the old kindle very happy UNK new kindle it as if the UNK who UNK my previous kindle knew would like the next gen kindle even better highly recommended 1 kindle review am well satisfied with my purchase my kindle arrived in excellent shape has performed as advertised and has met all my expectations the UNK with amazon com has been superior 1 excellent product this new kindle 3g is great improvement over the original and is an excellent product it is considerably cheaper thinner lighter easier to hold the back no longer falls off has better controls and the battery lasts UNK UNK 1 you need one of these at first wasn sure about what to expect from device like this one but as soon as started using it knew it was the best choice for reading device love the quality of the image and its very simple to use 1 fantastic love the kindle it was birthday present and have used it everyday since it arrival right out of the box it is ready to use it is very easy to connect to the wi fi system and purchase books was also able to set the size of the lettering to be able to read better mark my page and even write notes on any of the pages great for travel the selection on amazon for books is incredible lots of books for free 0 have problem my kindle is month old in the last ten days was not able to UNK the kindle sliding the power switch did not work when plugging in the charge unit the kindle did not show that it was charging totally UNK the first time it sort of UNK on its own now totally UNK any ideas this is very annoying does not seem to want to accept any power been plugged in for over two hours charge lasting month is joke any suggestions would be most UNK at this time my kindle is totally worthless made huge mistake by not purchasing the warranty help 1 kindle how sweet UNK frame what to say the new 189 kindle is so sweet want to UNK it in my arms like baby the kindle is the perfect UNK for UNK UNK boring UNK UNK UNK but most of all late night classical music UNK reading my eyes have become bad bad bad bad but the kindle brings words back into focus spend most of my time now happily clicking the page turn button on this electronic UNK and though do miss the tactile quality the UNK of the UNK of books made of paper that is UNK by the absence of dust of which am UNK UNK UNK and UNK that UNK bad for non UNK gadget get one your world will improve 1 kindle just love my kindle it is so much easier than trying to carry one or two books with me also carry it with me when go to the book store so can read about the book want and just download it while am walking around shopping 1 second kindle had my first kindle for just over year when mistakenly UNK it but then bought an ipad and thought no UNK can read my books on that uh no nothing replaces the kindle easy on your eyes easy to hold and the new generation is even smaller so easy to carry where ever go the best thing about owning kindle is that can read it on my ipad or ipod or even computer and it syncs to where last read no more book marks 1 excellent device after an UNK search into other reading devices and checking reviews the kindle became part of my family several weeks ago awaiting its arrival was difficult even though it was only two day wait this is charge and go device super easy to use and technically friendly am in love have convinced my sister to get one as well purchased the leather case light which would encourage anyone buying one to protect your investment this is one of the best products ve purchased in long time that stands up to the reviews 1 my brilliant kindle 3g wireless device love my kindle and find it wonderfully easy to use the books appear as if by magic whisper net even though live in australia and couldn be happier 1 best invention since the book the kindle is perfect in so many ways it is light easily held in hand is totally UNK in the UNK of direct sunlight and reads like book wifi downloads take UNK seconds for an average book while magazines are even faster the ability to have any number of UNK materials with you at all times in book size format is UNK one example comes to mind love the new yorker it is great magazine with typically to 10 articles that want to read it is weekly the result is that end up reading most but not all of the articles in any given issue when the new issue arrives the old one goes in pile and sits there with other past issues cannot carry them around with me so have to wait till can UNK out time to finish the stack now with kindle have these with me at all times and when have minute waiting at the doctors office getting an UNK change getting UNK rotated can finish them up on the go when go on vacation there is no lugging of books and magazines 1 kindle 3g wi fi display decided to purchase the kindle because it seemed like practical way to save bit of money on all the books that have to buy for class and my casual reading as soon as opened up the package was UNK at how clear the display was and how comfortable it was for me to read the screen the kindle has made it possible for me to carry around all my books need for reference without all the hassle of having to pack up heavy backpack around the selection of books available was also great surprise to me as well and has not let me down yet highly recommend the kindle to anyone who loves to read 1 great book reader we love our new kindle it delivers on everything that amazon says it will do the only problem is that my wife UNK is big reader and it like being in candy store for her within about 60 seconds she can go to amazon shop for book pay for the book and download the book to her kindle via its built in cell phone internet link or via g3 unfortunately books don give price break for books printed in paperback solid technology great battery life bright clear text experimental web browser mp3 etc 1 love my kindle have had my kindle for about month and love it still figuring parts out but it is wonderful quick easy downloads love the dictionary just put the cursor on the word and it shows you the def the size is perfect and the UNK are true there is no glare have recommended kindle to many people 1

situation received more feedback from my kindle review last fall than from almost any other article it great for any on the go situation or if you just want to take bunch of your favorite books on

directory table of contents menu UNK and position joystick like control to navigate through text or the internet browser you can customize your kindle to share your notes and annotations with friends using your social network accounts also liked the fact that when the latest generation kindle recently came out at lower price was able to get the functional software upgrade for my kindle for free wirelessly and without having to request it what you need the kindle latest generation is currently 189 which makes it an even better value and suggest you get protective book cover which is about 30 over UNK 000 books and other content can be purchased on line with best sellers going for 99 and up while it comes with UNK speakers built in you can also use pair of standard UNK for private listening in many cases you could read review of an interesting book order and download it to your kindle and be reading it within two minutes talk about instant gratification how hard is it to use

easy to hold and it is perfectly readable even in bright sunlight besides all the books that are available for purchase at reasonable prices without wasting trees there are so many public domain works that can be downloaded for free being able to access the 3g network without monthly fees is great keep it in my purse so it is always available for quick internet searches to answer UNK questions UNK an UNK or refresh my memory have recommended it to everyone who has noticed me using it in public in the UNK at the UNK and at my bookstore UNK 1 great for UNK my mother is UNK years old and her failing eyesight UNK her from reading standard size print books we ve been getting large print books from our local library but they have UNK selection now that she has kindle she can select from thousands of books and can read them in as large print as she needs she doesn understand how it all works but loves her kindle and reads every day also have kindle and love it 1 already loving it just recieved my new kindle this morning and am already in love it is so small and light but has so many great features have already looked up the local newspaper tried out few books and downloaded numerous free classics as UNK am always looking for new things to read and now it could not be easier the kindle store is amazing and the discounted prices of the books will make it much easier for me to afford all the books want to read while the kindle is not exactly cheap it is the best priced and most fully UNK reader around love that can share books with other devices such as my UNK droid will always have something with me to read now am looking UNK to spending lot of time with my kindle and would suggest that others do the same you will not UNK it 1 the kindle is amazing love my new kindle easier to hold than book very user friendly selection in kindle store is awesome best birthday gift ever received 1 one of the best items of the new UNK really appreciate amazon had developed the kindle device enjoy it everyday being able to read lot more than before because it is more practical and more UNK than common book bring it everywhere in order to read at the first opportunity the only problem is that amazon doesn still count on great variety of ebooks available and it would be good idea to improve greatly also the availability of books in other languages 0 poor to no reception UNK UNK is small UNK coast town 35 miles north of UNK UNK had no luck when trying to use my kindle at home was advised to go to our local library as they did have reception by UNK around inside and outside finally established contact but it wasn UNK contact lady at kindle amazon told me would have better luck with kindle iii returned this kindle and ordered the kindle iii and it works like charm my wife for UNK it was purchased loves it if had known there was difference in the abilities of the two would have ordered the UNK first thought the UNK was simply larger version of the kindle more detailed description of the two products on line would be very helpful 1 another kindle lover am new kindle lover wanted to do more reading and that is exactly what the kindle allows me to do as opposed to the ipad there are fewer distractions fewer games fewer bells and whistles the kindle lets me just go off and read pretty much anything want reading in bed is great you can easily hold the kindle in bed as opposed to UNK book and trying to keep it open if you fall asleep your place is kept overall this is wonderful product also have the kindle cover with the light protection and light whenever it is needed can imagine the kindle without that cover my one criticism is the sharing of content if on the same account several kindles can share books that have been purchased however magazines newspapers and blogs can not be shared my wife and share newspapers magazines etc in the hard copy world why shouldn we be able to share those items on the kindle that is why gave four star rating instead of five if that policy changes then it is definitely five star rating 1 just what wanted lots of reading ahead debated for few months on which reader to go with my boyfriend has nook and didn believe it fit my needs as well as the kindle once got the kindle found was right love the feel of the kindle the features the free book options and the great prices for the other books with all the new technology on tablets and readers it can be hard to make decision but if you want device dedicated to reading and with some optional word games and things look no further what really sold me was the great keyboard and the fact that the ink contrast is so great loved the lower price for the wi fi model because don need the 3g option page turns happen even faster on the new kindle and it even offers few games for when you just need little break from reading or other activity now all my friends that see me reading with it want one too for those that want tablet computer with much more function the kindle may not be your best bet but confident this holiday UNK as the new ereaders and tablets come out that got the best ereader for me it just what wanted great job amazon 1 even more delightful owned the first or was it second generation kindle and was thrilled with it the latest generation is leap forward however its resolution is clearer its navigation much improved and the integrated reading lamp UNK of genius 1 in love ve wanted kindle for the longest time so glad finally decided to get one it will never fully replace books for me if have special attachment to certain book ll always want paper copy of it but think this is just wonderful it really is just as easy to read and as easy on the eyes as everyone said amazed by how much it looks like paper the only regret was not going for the 3g have wireless at home so didn think it would be problem but my kindle seems to have hard time connecting to my signal when shopping at the kindle store ve been connecting via the usb cable to sync it very handy that able to do that as have to go to starbucks or barnes noble otherwise still highly recommend super happy with mine 1 wifi doesn work at all purchased kindle the UNK good points easier to read text far better than other tablet devices just send an email to free amazon com to convert pdf to kindle document cool and easy bad points doesn work with wifi at all am using apple UNK express and kindle doesn connect to the network even if changed the UNK such as with without password with without security UNK switching wifi router power off on was lucky chose 3g wifi model it was just wasting money if bought wifi only model 1 love my kindle the kindle is great it is smaller lighter than the 2nd generation the screen is larger and easier to see no problems downloading have the 3g 1 love it have been wanting kindle since they first appeared but kept waiting for the price to come down and the product to be refined once finally decided to go ahead had to wait couple of weeks because it was backordered it was absolutely worth the wait love the kindle and carry it everywhere with me waiting in the doctor office or in line is no problem now that always have book on hand and if finish one there is another already waiting for me whether on the device or ready to be downloaded downloading is awesome as well got the first book through the amazon com web site and had the kindle laying right beside me the new purchase appeared on the device almost immediately when pressed the order button have yet to find anything don love about it 1 cheap but powerful kindle 3rd generation is UNK UNK cheap and still powerful when you have taste to read good book you do not need to wait for delivery you can start reading almost instantly you do not need to consider which books do you want to take with you to trip you can take every each one of them with you 1 kindle wireless the kindle wireless is surprising ebook reader with an easily use and good UNK you can load lot of books by the usb cable directly with the wifi the screen is very comfortable to read and the page turns is quick it funny to share passages with your friends in twitter or UNK the only thing that need to be improved is the speech system because the voice doesn recognize the end of paragraph and read without UNK sound very strange 1 love it for what it is an additional way to enjoy book ok admit that have been UNK wanting kindle for over year but kept talking myself out of one by putting up UNK really want to hold book not device when read it took me less than 15 seconds with my kindle to get over this one am public library UNK so shouldn have kindle after my first day with my kindle realized that still allowed in my local library will spend way too much money buying books for my kindle oh what surprise the classics and other books published prior to UNK are free can anything be more wonderful than this seriously though it was so easy to use the kindle and integrate it into my reading life kudos to the designers for all the added UNK that makes it enjoyable you must have found some truly serious UNK to give you input bookmarking my place automatically terrific user friendly dictionary capability in not one but two formats can actually use my UNK without getting up from my chair by the pool and never have to look for that darn magnifying glass sorting my books into collections allows me to keep my kindle books on electronic shelves never have to look for my glasses just adjust the font never have to lug books around when travel any more nor will worry about running out of things to read when one is serious reader away from home this is always problem you can tell having lot of fun with this device far more than thought would of course still pick up physical book enjoy the feel smell the paper and delight in putting it on shelf in my library but my kindle is an extra companion always ready to provide something new to read oh and it will check my email for me at any time who could ask for anything more 1 kindle vs nook once you have your hands on both there is no comparison was debating on which ereader to purchase and was UNK towards the nook until had the chance to get my hands on both once was able to hold them both the choice was easy the kindle feels so much better in your hand then the nook and frankly the fact that the nook is only UNK touch screen was very annoying to me the kindle UNK much lighter smoother and all around better quality have had it for about month now and UNK could not be happier am reading even more now then was before bought it bought built sleeve for it to protect it in my purse and together they are perfect 1 wonderful kindle this is great device great selections of books also available instant delivery too however had to buy seperate power cable as it came only with usb cable thus needing to be plugged into my laptop to charge so not very UNK for taking it away without the laptop for few days 1 necessary for convenience finally broke down and got kindle what pushed me over the line was the combination of improved contrast smaller size weight reduction capacity increase price drop and poor battery life of smartphones as my alternative for convenient reading didn buy at amazon specifically because was still skeptical and wanted to play with one in person but after few minutes at target drove to another location that had it in stock and bought it straight away have always enjoyed reading but the inconvenience of carrying around books always got to me the ease with which can read on the kindle has made it so convenient that am just flat out more UNK to spend long reading sessions than otherwise am very glad chose this over the ipad considering how wouldn be able to deal with much more weight comfortably the form factor weight and good page turn controls make this great for everywhere from home to the beach and one handed use on nyc UNK have only owned for about month but my kindle is already feeling like one of the best purchases of my life along with wonderful watch that lasted 12 years and my smartphone despite obvious UNK give stars because it fills all major functionality that expected flawlessly as far as am concerned in time there is obviously room for improvement the downsides that researched before buying but had some trouble finding information on are epub format is not supported had to look for not so UNK links at sources of free ebooks to find mobi format content is UNK couldn find information on how things are UNK ie what happens if amazon UNK out UNK UNK but at least items can be backed up easily but there are sources like UNK that sell compatible books without drm pdfs are not made for kindles page turns take UNK on even medium sized pdfs and UNK ie calibre UNK UNK formatting so that it is not worth attempting using panning tools is not even near worth the hassle books with special formatting esp textbooks with UNK UNK display poorly since the special text appears to be UNK image rather than something actually rendered in UNK UNK format this may not be the case with all books but 100 of the relevant samples had sent to the device had this issue have very small UNK hands and the keyboard navigation button feel bit too small even for me but my main purpose is reading so could care less 1 kindle very happy with my purchase of my kindle very easy to use sleek easy to carry around look forward to many reading UNK 1 wonderful item works exactly as advertised it is fast and love the fact that as long as have the wi fi enabled it knows what page am on when switch back and forth between my kindle and my kindle app for my droid no more scrolling through trying to find my place waited until had used it to read couple of books before reviewing because hate it when people leave five star reviews and then admit that the product has not even arrived at their house yet 1 kindle 3g we purchased the kindle and leather lighted cover for our son in law who is being UNK to UNK he loved it thank you 1 UNK real book fan but am UNK fan of books paperbacks hardbacks UNK you name it and read it ve been voracious reader my entire life and was UNK convinced that these readers were not for me no UNK wanted real book that could hold and smell and feel the pages as turned them was also convinced that these readers were passing UNK and wasn going to waste the money on something that would fade away quickly then took couple of trips this year and in every airport sat in people were reading on their kindles while UNK around UNK of paperbacks so after extensive research my husband gifted me with kindle 3g for my birthday am in love with my kindle everything you read is absolutely correct pages turn quickly and whisper quiet downloads take just few seconds and the electronic ink is easy to read and causes no eye strain whatsoever there is no glare when read outdoors and it so light and compact that can slip it into my purse and never be caught in waiting room without something to read am hooked if you are going to purchase an reader you will be disappointed unless you choose the kindle several friends have returned their nooks in favor of the kindle take the plunge with me and UNK your love of reading in the twenty first century 1 awesome absolutely love my kindle travel quite bit on business and enjoy reading books on my kindle on planes and trains also like the ease in which able to order books online best idea and buy UNK the market wonderful christmas gift 1 great great great don know who came up with the idea to have digital reader but amazon kindle is the most wonderful thing since the wheel and it affordable we read more now than ever before it is so easy to use and love the dictionary think they should make surfing the web UNK not just beta and the UNK to go along with it not so pricey thank you amazon 1 my new kindle love that can take all that reading with me and never leave book in the dr office or coffee shop having readings for what ever mood am in is great am getting used to downloading the buttons for page turning get in the way while holding have had to turn the readings up side down so wouldn trigger the page turner also have yet to find way to delete reading when finished hopefully someone will know thanks joy 1 kindle is great enjoy using my kindle very much the kindle is simple to use and to download book is super easy and fast 1 easy reading love my new kindle it is so easy to search for books and love the ability to download sample of each book downloading is really quick and the book prices are great watch for UNK from your favorite authors to save even more ve had mine for month and have not had to recharge it yet the print is really crisp and so easy to read even if you aren comfortable with computer this is super easy to use you will love it 1 super kindle my wife loves it could not believe how fast it was to download her first book 1 excellent product the kindle surpasses all my expectations now can read my personal word files on the go without bringing my laptop with me 1 just right my kindle has turned out to be just right for my requirements did not want 75 of computer such as the ipad just wanted to read books using device that could be used in bright sunlight that is so light it doesn hurt bit when it drops on my nose when fall asleep reading in bed that allows me to set the font just right for my eyes regardless of the book and that does not have back lighting to leave my eyes tired and dry the battery life is great recharging is not an issue the way the kindle UNK with kindle for pc is terrific and the price was very reasonable loading my own pdf documents with windows explorer is very useful particularly when travelling was surprised at how good the tiny speakers are for my music but the audio for text to speech which rarely use is robotic the screen is just right but love zoom in out button for my pdf documents hope the tiny letters on the buttons do not wear off as they are barely white enough as it is wish my library provided ebooks as can afford to buy all the books borrow even though they are reasonably priced love my kindle it the only way to read books and what tree saver 1 kindle wireless reading device wi fi display graphite latest generation this is the third kindle in our family like the others dx and UNK this has been well received 1 love love love my new kindle honestly don know why waited so long to get one because now that have one cannot live without it no more books to lug around no more trying to find space on my UNK bookshelves for the book just finished plus you can surf the web if you like sure it not super fancy ipad but it is also considerably less expensive than an ipad think if had an ipad would do more playing than reading anyway what are you waiting for go get yourself kindle 1 broken after month bought this as birthday gift for my wife we got it around the first week of september it is month later and the screen is out on it it display is all UNK she loves this device this device is great design and works well small and compact for her purse would have gotten stars if lasted more then month great amazon service to get replacement thank you for the great service 1 the new kindle after couple weeks of use am quite pleased with the kindle the screen is very readable and easy on the eyes the main controls are reasonably intuitive it has enough memory to hold as many books as most people could possibly want the option of charging from power outlet or from your computer is great one negative the instructions could be organized better could not find any information on how to delete book without connecting to my computer by chance one day touched something and it asked if wanted to delete the book it took another couple days before could find what had pushed could have missed this in the instructions possibly overall am happy with the kindle while do not feel it was worth the initial price for it the reduced price of 139 is reasonable wish list color screen 1 it makes reading fun like the price of the book and definitions at your command it makes reading fun and it is so much more than simple reading device 1 new way to read fabulous way to read book cannot wait to give it for gift 1 kindle is awesome cannot add anything new that has not been said before this is my first kindle and it has been great every thing works like it is supposed to and am getting lot of reading done thanks amazon 1 convenient love my kindle take it with me everywhere work doctors UNK always wait time there reading time say just anywhere it is light weight and fits in my purse easily can pick it up and read my book when want to the back ground makes it easy on your eyes to read unlike some types of screens the books are UNK to UNK online through amazon com and some are free got mine for my birthday and would suggest it to anyone for gift for any occasion kindle will make very good christmas gift 1 UNK the kindle flat out works as advertised purchased it for my mother who has never owned or operated computer so had my reservations getting it set up for her was snap we walked through an included UNK downloaded book in less than 30 seconds she has the 3g model and she was off and running it has an incredibly clear screen and adjustable font sizes that make for comfortable reading this is perfect for my mom because her mobility is not what it used to be and trips to the bookstore have become little more challenging especially in bad weather now she is free to lookup and UNK thousands of titles from her living room she was pleasantly surprised by the book prices as well this is fabulous device for any age because of it ease of use and well thought out interface 0 disappointed was disappointed in the kindle because it was not easy to operate like the idea of this product but couldn get it to work for me purchased this item for my UNK old mother because she is an avid reader but if couldn figure how to work it she would never be able to felt the the directions were not UNK enough would UNK have kept the kindle if could have been able to use it thank you UNK UNK 1 kindle purchased this as birthday gift for my son and he has read 12 books entire series UNK 300 pages per book in less than one month the kindle is perfect way to give the gift of reading 1 excellent product but this is great product that does everything it says it going to do the ink technology means you can read it anywhere including in sunlight however in low light conditions you need light on it just like real book would strongly suggest you get the cover with the book light to complete UNK experience 1 loving my kindle love my kindle was worried because really love the feel of the paper and the weight of the book in my hand but after using my kindle for just little while over it it is easy to use easy to read and wonderfully portable 1 excellent and economical ebook reader value for money gadget if you want something more for ebook reading if you are more focused on web browsing you might like to consider something else like computer tablet 1 my kindle stopped working and customer service was fantastic so received my kindle and fell in love with it showed it to everyone and talked up it big time fantastic then the screen went out at first thought must have done something to it but after thinking about it for some time decided that did not any thing that did to it would have to be normal wear and tear did not drop it or sit on it just used it and was no more UNK with it then have been with any cell phone or ipod or any other electronic device that have never broke now emailed amazon and was UNK to right away and it was real email not computer generated one was advised to have amazon call me and we could trouble UNK it little more and then try to figure out the problem so followed that advice amazon called me and spent about to 10 minutes on the phone with me after that the service UNK let me know that she was going to overnight me new one and send me postage to send the old one back it was that easy and simple called yesterday and received the new one just today can not stress how satisfied have been with both the kindle when it was working and customer service when it was not just wanted to let people know my experience with the process 1 it nice product if you like to read it light and can hold it and read comfortably with its ink screen think it can be even better with faster UNK rate UNK wifi internet and note taking functions also hope the button control can be improved it sometimes annoying to keep pressing the arrows and buttons repeatedly to slowly move the cursor it basically the use interface of both hardware and software parts that am UNK to initially thought it can read UNK articles in pdf easily however the size and position of the document usually need adjustment and it doesn seem convenient for me to make the adjustment with the button control 1 my kindle am very happy with kindle lots of fun UNK UNK UNK in addition the shipment was very fast and efficient all the way down to UNK UNK 1 the best thing ever have been wanting kindle for while and did alot of looking around and reading reviews and finally went for it so happy did truly enjoy reading so much more than before did buy leather case for it which do UNK to keep it safe there is no glare and the fact you can change the text size is the best plus text to speech so you can listen to your book while you drive if you have been thinking about getting one say do not wait moment longer plus the price is to good to pass up 1 love it my son bought me kindle for my birthday in august and was thinking would miss real books to hold UNK love my kindle so magical 1 kindle is great think that the product is great only thing that is missing is more dictionary options need english to UNK arabic end its missing hope that it will be like download upgrade option for my kindle in the future also text to speech feature is great but it doesn work on pdf files in all it is an excellent product only regret that didn buy it earlier also delivery and shipping was very fast as result of the above and my positive experience wanted to by UNK with lamp and wanted to buy also UNK UNK fun tablet but the UNK doesn get shipped to UNK only through third party seller who wanted for shipping thank for great product best regards UNK 1 UNK like me kindle just amazing and it can be improved the kindle is my first book reader used to be very skeptical about ebook readers because thought they just couldn compare with real books well maybe kindle is even better it is very small light and thin carry it in my purse all day long and sometimes don even remember brought it with me it stores lot of books together and you can read them without any problem and for long time it quite easy to use and you can order book on the kindle store and start reading it almost instantly things that can be improved kindle UNK only main UNK such as title and author think it should also manage other such as series and series number or it should allow UNK collections what if have fantasy collections with many series from the same author in it now the only way to know the reading order of the book UNK to the same series is putting it in the title and if create collection for every single series the collection management becomes difficult like to create my own screen savers from italy and the kindle store has poor choice of books written in italian the delivery as said from italy and got my kindle in only days that is good provided the ups courier delivers it at the right place my kindle was delivered to another UNK of the UNK work for far away from mine of course despite the fact that the correct address was clearly indicated 1 options if there was one thing that would like to see added to the kindle it would be to be able to get the paper copy of the books have purchased on my kindle for reduced rate for my library and vice versa like to get the kindle version for all the paper versions of books that purchased from amazon for say the year prior to buying the kindle 0 size UNK used my daughter kindle on vacation and loved it purchased the new 3g wireless kindle and the size has been changed smaller is not better there is no room to hold on the the sides of the kindle even with the cover the numbers row has been removed from the keypad and is now in the symbols area the way controller has been changed and is more difficult to move around quickly also had difficulty getting cover that fit the new size and did not get the cover that really wanted know will love reading the kindle but hope that enough people will complain and bring back the original size 1 so far so good purchased this for my wife who is somewhat challenged when it comes to technology so far she hasn had any problems at all and is very happy with her ability to change the font size for what ever she is reading color would be nice but is certainly not necessary 1 kindle european experience must say this was probably the best UNK dollars spent since last year this is device for people who like to read lot because of the size it is not really perfect for pdf documentation such as school UNK generally for UNK format documents but for UNK literature plain reading it is really just the best here in europe we do not have so wide choice of books but still it is more than can read for long time ahead wifi is great advantage do not have to plug the device into the pc 1 love my kindle am UNK time kindle and ebook reader buyer so was not really sure what to expect the kindle has indeed exceeded any expectations may have had this is great product contrast is great easy to read fast page turning and plenty of space for books and apps have the 3g version and the experimental browser works great cannot say miss the touch screen since the five way is easy to use and the link sense UNK feature makes navigation on UNK breeze of course it is black and white but for basic email im and social networking it is more than enough some people were also complaining about the lack of epub capability and while agree with them that amazon should implement native epub reading features there are number of free third party software UNK out there calibre that can be used to convert epub files or any other text files to mobi files ve also installed the UNK version of the firmware and there are clear improvements for reading browsing and battery life which is UNK to begin with the game apps like scrabble or UNK are an added bonus bottom line at least in my case all pros no cons if you want great book reading machine with added features and functionality the kindle is for you if you want to play games on the fly browse the net often with full color and functionality then this is probably not going to meet your needs 1 one of the best investments ve made simply put this small UNK device blew me away because of the kindle portability can now read from anywhere with multiple books in UNK which means the world to me as person who constantly on the go and who loves to read the first thing that UNK me was the screen it took me second or two to figure out what was looking at in UNK high tech world we re all so used to the screens of our computer devices looking particular way bright UNK and UNK not so with the kindle screen it looks like paper and print period UNK there no UNK between you and your book there is nothing about the reading experience that says computer basically you re reading new type of book it as though the kindle were saying look not here to replace the book here to UNK the book in way that best suits the 21st century reader this device shows us what possible with technology that you can still have an UNK experience with UNK creation it my new favorite thing 1 UNK 3g what great product bought it for my husband and he is book reader and went ahead and bought it whether he like it or not yes bravo he loves it want one too 0 far east UNK region have recently bought kindle however have yet to find any books that can be purchased on the kindle store as nothing is available due to copyright restrictions why does amazon not advise potential UNK of this UNK without the ability to UNK books the kindle is useless in the UNK region 1 best gift ever received this as gift from my husband and couldn be more pleased love the screen how light it is and how easy it is to use the experimental technology of accessing the web is also not bad and load time is great the only thing that is problematic is trying to actually type online with only having letter keys easily accessible this isn meant for sending an email however if you are on the go want to look up directions or restaurant quickly this is your UNK intend to buy my mom one for UNK love it and couldn be happier 1 outstanding UNK this to everyone interested in kindle or already have one this is my second one and was surprised that the archive went on to my new kindle very nice feature 1 love it just love my kindle brought it to book club last month and impressed all the UNK there may be some new customers coming it great that have something to read all the time don have to run to the library or book store anymore just download new book on the spot love the many free options too have even tried some of the word games would love more though take it with me everywhere just like my phone you never know when you have few minutes to read it so light and thin it fits right in my purse 1 UNK is my kindle tried out my UNK kindle in the summer of 2010 and was very intrigued after the lower priced wi fi version came out latest generation decided to order it though had bit of trouble setting up the wi fi because couldn find the password to my system fell in love as soon as downloaded my first book it is light weight which is pleasure for my somewhat arthritic hands being able to adjust the font is also great the page turning buttons are convenient what love the most is not having to wait for my books to come am book person and never wanted to switch from paper books but for casual reading this device is delight 1 using experience it good for this product for display picture text in sunny if it can UNK chinese language then will very perfect for china customer 0 no connect to wifi purchased this item new when trying to connect it couldn find my wifi router that was four feet from my computer when called to get help with this couldn get straight answer as to what the problem was until this is fixed wouldn take kindle even if they were giving them away free on any street corner in any city 1 so much fun ve been wanting kindle forever now they are reasonable price books are easy to download had slight log in issue but called the help line and they walked me through the problem the kindle is easier to handle than book and easier to carry with you love it 1 high cost performance book reader as well as internet device kindle is high cost performance device the browser with free 3gs is very useful and cost effective kindle is worth to buy only to use 3gs and internet but hope to buy kindle 3gs with color display in the next generation 1 been wanting one for long time and the wait was worth it ve been wanting kindle since first saw them and finally this year my dear husband bought me one for my birthday so far it everything had hoped for 1 like real book amazing have an ipad but the kindle is completely different it is really like book amazing like the UNK of the battery it is really light think however that the ergonomic of the keyboard needs to be improved please take some ideas from blackberry they are the best in small UNK they also great small touch pad which can fit on the kindle since find it not easy to navigate on the screen my last complaint is that there is not lot of books in french even UNK code in french is not in the kindle store otherwise am very happy with this kindle perfect size perfect weight perfect UNK and great screen 1 wi fi only works well the new kindle wi fi only model works well was easy to set up on the home wireless network am truly impressed with the selection of free and very low priced books available in the kindle store 1 super it all been covered elsewhere the kindle disappears find myself trying to physically turn the page 1 love my kindle being visually impaired the kindle allows me to read at font can be comfortable with found UNK UNK UNK for it at target and could UNK be happier 0 double billed bought the kindle reader as gift however was billed for two of them and it showed up weeks later it was real pain to deal with the UNK can get call back and get this UNK UNK out UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 wow guys ll be honest lovin it was quite wary at first being the bookworm am but now as happy as can be ve got all the books want to me always with me many of them got for free at the amazon kindle store and some others through gutenberg project it wonderful for all those hours spent in train or on an airplane or on the bus just take it out my bag and start reading without having to carry additional weight for the 40 books my kindle is currently storing the only drawback is that not very used to the device shape at times it not very comfortable and it would be great if the zooming feature for pdf files was different it not very practical when you have to read pdf files for the rest as happy as can be want book and in less than minutes have it including accessing to the internet and researching time 1 UNK my joy in reading bought my kindle with the thought that it would be new toy and sounded handy when travelling love it not only because it is light easy to use and fun but particularly because have started to read again and to enjoy classic novels that never read years ago like pride and prejudice great 1 notebook for everyone originally bought this book for book reading but have since changed it to bible study notebook its great for taking notes on study items so you can take it with you the books on amazon are great but as study tool it is very useful thanks so much 1 kindle and its UNK red lighted cover this review can also be found here it rare that an accessory to something technological UNK the original thing into something that perceived as different don like being on the cutting edge of technology UNK late adopter let others waste their time need to UNK to living in the moment the ebook at certain price point saves me weight and volume in my travel backpack it gives me near instant gratification when really need to read book now and can wait to even get to the nearest bookstore it matter of convenience and spending money on books is never waste but the nice kindle that got last month needs to be protected after fiddling with it surfing the internet reading pdfs and yes actually reading books with it ve UNK to like but not love it it form factor naked out of the box is just about right in the same sense as the original palm UNK dimensions felt right in your hands and felt useful out of the box so too does the kindle lightness ability to read one handed just good enough contrast and screen size seem right it not perfect the fonts and crispness of text is just adequate in my books UNK it isn replacement for crisp white printed page with perfect font and excellent spacing the UNK buttons are fine bit higher up would be UNK to me and the back button is just in the wrong place keep hitting it accidentally when using the way button at the bottom left but like the qwerty UNK which makes typing in text online useful the surfing thing is strange it useful experimental UNK that of two UNK about glad it there and also it UNK also highlights the limitations of this device like nothing else it would have been interesting to include special browser that acts like UNK excellent readability web app rendering each UNK page up with perfectly decent article on how to do this with google reader is here but it single purpose thing that inexpensive and useful until you factor in the lighted cover after much UNK over the cover choices and considering everything from computer game cases to UNK UNK finally bit the bullet and bought the red lighted case wanted to protect the kindle in my backpack when travelling have secondary light in UNK light situations which think makes it generally inferior to an ipad out of the box after pm wanted it to be visible on coffee table as leave start leaving somewhere accidentally it had to be reasonably cool too hey human figured UNK flash of red close to the colour of my UNK UNK would be just right and it is with couple of minor UNK it feels very similar to my limited edition UNK UNK the colour is perfect the elastic band around is very UNK and effective the extra weight of the whole set makes it feel like holding reasonably UNK book without feeling too heavy so far anyway the attachment UNK and connection to power is well thought out clearly from the UNK board up the materials are nice UNK why UNK UNK but whatever and finally the light works as advertised in dimmer ambient light it UNK the lighting to just the right amount in dark room ll UNK UNK it seems like it would be less eyestrain than my UNK text ipod touch ll UNK this post maybe later but overall the effect is UNK it feels strangely quality book like don have very many leather UNK cover books but the few do now will get compared to this kindle the extra bucks spent on priority courier seem like money well spent now looking forward to my next airplane trip the first time in while ve felt that way 1 amazing just received my kindle and love it am reading UNK 5th grade reading teacher and have wanted kindle for few years just didn want to spend the money am amazed at the size shape and fun you can have with such device my 11 year old son is actually reading the picture of UNK gray love it 1 love it had always stayed away from electronic reading devices because could not read books on the computer but was shocked by the kindle it is not at all like reading computer screen navigation is easy and purchasing books is snap love my kindle 1 win love my new kindle wifi have wifi at home so good with not having 3g on it can order books from work and they arrive like magic when walk through the door win it like send myself gifts lt everyone ve shown loves it even take it to physical UNK and my UNK UNK are crazy about it and want to get it for their continuing UNK kindle textbooks would save them enough money to purchase kindle and trick it out win 1 love my kindle read alot and am very impressed with the kindle it is not too heavy very easy to move around on and love the quality of the print you can change the font size so print being too small is never problem have not had the option to use it in the sunlight yet but rate this product stars have read some very good reviews on it too 1 so impressed did ton of research eink back lit brands etc and decided to purchase kindle it mostly came down to price and the fact that was already downloading ebooks to my itouch through amazon kindle reading app ve had my kindle for about two weeks now and in love so far here are my pros and cons likes price am glad went with wi fi have had no need for the more expensive 3g ability to password protect if it gets stolen the only way someone can gain access is to UNK the unit clean at least your personal account and information will be protected and they ll have to buy their own books lol reading more just because the kindle makes it more convenient it true that the kindle is easy to read outside without glare couldn read on my itouch in the sun love that can throw it in my purse and have it with me waiting rooms picking kids up from practice etc enjoy how easy amazon makes it to download ebooks impressed with the number of free ebooks that ve downloaded impressed with the number of free ebooks that become available like the ability to create folders to organize books you can create your own folder names ability to back book up online so that you don have to worry if your kindle crashes magazines know some people UNK the UNK in the reviews but really like them ability to change font size hate to admit it but probably need reading glasses it truly is easier on my eyes used to read on my itouch and my eyes don feel strained with the eink same font size UNK buyer beware it easy to drop quickly on ebooks very very UNK wished that could get the electronic rights when purchased regular book hubby likes to purchase the real thing as he likes to read when he works out gripes me that can get some books cheaper in paperback than electronically this is publisher issue still wished it was in color know in the UNK but like to read magazines newspapers in color accessories are expensive but do really like the kindle case purchased with the light it was almost the price of the kindle however use it all the time wished they offered more colors would have purchased white if given the option no ability to expand memory though don think this will be problem you can archive and the kindle can store up to 500 books not sure if this will be an issue but the battery is internal to the unit the average person can replace it wished you could sync more than amazon account up to each kindle buy some books with adult content and would like to keep them separate from my general account if there way to do this haven figured it out overall am so impressed amazon really does have great product for all of the research did should have just UNK up the 139 and bought the darn thing long time ago look forward to an affordable version to come out in color and hopefully more UNK tend to prefer nonfiction and read in short UNK so magazine articles are really appealing for me personally the kindle wi fi was home run 1 best choice but not excellent seems to work great as reader but it has its drawbacks such as very slow interface when using the menu system and especially the web browser both in 3g kind of expected as well as in wifi not expected if you are looking for free books you will need to sync manually using the usb interface don bother trying to find them through the kindle itself amazon seems to be always UNK you towards non free books hence all the amazon menus tend to UNK the free stuff you will need to go the specific sites like and expect to do some some UNK to get them 1 great device week very simple to use very comfortable to read very positive UNK 1 great read more now than ever did before love looking at all the books to buy its easy reading on the kindle have the 3g and have used it when our internet went down for day while they worked on it love my kindle take it everywhere just UNK get to UNK in few pages while waiting for my daughter to get to the car got the cover that has the attached light in it and it works great battery runs down faster than thought it would 1 kindle is fantastic this is fantastic product easy to use and so light to carry with an incredible technology downloading speed UNK linked UNK are amazing moreover cheap for its value and very nice object my only regret is to have waited so long to decide to buy kindle 1 the best reader out there it been exactly one week ve been reading books on my kindle actually finished up three books since got my kindle last week have to say it been great reading experience first the ink makes all the difference can read book for hours without making my eyes tired usually read on my iphone or macbook pro before have kindle don have an ipad but can imagine that UNK screen would strain my eyes easily usually it takes me forever to read an book on my iphone and or macbook pro kindle is very light it even lighter than paperback book bought the kindle cover with built in light the cover itself weighs more than the kindle always have the cover with my kindle whenever read outdoors and it does make it heavier still it lighter than an ipad with cover getting books on kindle is mighty easy can browse titles on the kindle itself in addition of my other devices can sync the last page reading on my kindle with my kindle app on my iphone or UNK reading is awesome on kindle page turn is quiet and quite fast this is my first reader so can really compare it to others only played little bit with nook and sony reader at the stores even after playing with them for short time always turn my head back to kindle like the way kindle looks and how it feels in my hand love the contrast of the screen don care so much about touchscreen like on sony readers just want dedicated reader and that what kindle is don see myself reading book on an lcd screen for hours besides there no distraction like reading on smartphone with all the emails etc to me kindle is the best reader out there and love it 1 great product great product in my case UNK went wrong the screen it was replaced within UNK despite live in spain 1 amazing can not believe how amazing the kindle is love to read and hated trying to UNK around those big books now take muy kindle everywhere also love the fact that you can read the first chapter to see if you UNK even like to buy the book am hooked 0 gray screen is too dark navigating is clumsy was totally disappointed with the kindle and returned it the dark gray screen is just horrible it supposed to make reading easier in all different lighting conditions don think so it so dull and dark at first thought mine was broken the screen was so dark if you re at all used to an iphone or an itouch with millions of colors including white the kindle black and gray screen worse than simply black and white will seem like something from the UNK using the arrow keys to navigate around the small screen is also UNK to an earlier UNK kept reaching up to touch the screen and had to keep UNK myself to use the clunky directional keys to move around the screen and make selections just like using UNK remote control to navigate to and select an on demand program if you re at all comfortable and familiar with the ios apple operating system with UNK UNK UNK the screen directly think you re going to hate the kindle did 1 excellent for college students will be starting college in fall 2011 and know that can take my entire library of books with me hours away that would be crazy kindly is the perfect alternative have had mine for days and am already UNK in love with it can get all the classics like sherlock holmes for free and get all my other books at deep UNK great for broke student not to mention can take it everywhere with me and check my mail with wi fi and there are free games too already have at least 17 books and games that were free haven bought an ebook yet but plan on doing so soon for all parents out there looking for great and practical grad gift your search is over 1 kindle owned the first generation kindle the second the dx and now the third from first to last the product has UNK to its own occasion with the latest providing the easiest to read text by far also own two other well known ereaders but when it time for serious reading more often than not reach for my kindle 1 can put it down waited long time before finally deciding to purchase the kindle now can put it down travel lot for work and now carry my kindle with me wherever go and always find time to read something haven purchased that many books yet because still working my way through large number of free titles ve downloaded through amazon recently downloaded number of documents UNK UNK report from my UNK and although it is bit cumbersome to adjust the orientation of the screen to UNK the documents to fit width wise glad that can read the report in such compact and portable format one thing that helps me is that carry portable wi fi hotspot with me for work so never have to worry about whether or not in range of reliable UNK wireless network bottom line can imagine not having my kindle now it so easy to use that can help but use it every day 1 more pleased than expected admit it when it comes to reading am UNK give me book to turn the pages but briefcase UNK UNK me to try kindle for pc from there it was small step to the actual kindle device very UNK love it only issue have is with the still somewhat limited availability of books was looking for the harry potter books yes some UNK do read those to re read before the UNK of the next movie but they are not available for kindle neither are some of my favorite UNK war history books UNK UNK UNK or any of UNK UNK works for example so am happy with the device but little disappointed on the selection front never would have guessed it 1 amazing what an amazing device the kindle is very well done piece of equipment books and magazines load in seconds and everything is easy to read so many features from voice reading to internet ve had mine for two weeks and just love it the trial service for magazines and newspapers is great you can get two week test of any or all of the newspapers and magazines the usa today is great even the internet access works as described although would term it an emergency internet service it does allow you to access most sites but it is bit cumbersome amazon was wise to UNK it experimental the only drawbacks can see are the UNK in pricing the cost of the usa today kindle edition is almost the same as the printed newspaper at 11 99 month it not bargain mon amazon make it reasonable monthly and definitely subscribe same with some of their books was going to buy book about UNK UNK the last boy last night the printed version is 11 99 compared to the kindle version at 14 99 what up with that took UNK trip to UNK UNK this week and had service just about the entire trip was able to get the usa today every morning there are also some nifty free word games available for down load as well every word is real challenge the bottom line this thing works and works well UNK five stars go amazon 1 perfect love love love my new kindle it everything wanted and expected it to be 1 physical books vs kindle have to admit the kindle is an amazing reader the screen looks exactly like real ink on real paper the storage space is incredible and purchasing books is extremely convenient however found myself missing my physical books so much because the kindle just seemed so UNK missed the colored covers the unique font and style of each book the on average larger size of the pages compared to the kindle screen the free flipping of pages the smell of books and just being able to UNK on the page wherever wanted to also strangely felt like would be UNK my kindle if went to bookstore to shop around realized that even though my collection of books is becoming hassle to move around would rather have huge library of physical books than thousands of books hidden in device after much UNK decided to return my kindle if you don care much about the experience of reading physical book and you are an avid reader then the kindle is for you but if you enjoy reading book not just for the content but the experience then you might want to just use that money to buy some real books 1 kindle rocks love my kindle easy on the eyes and sometimes forget not holding book and reach up to turn the page lol seem to be reading faster ve always been slow reader think there are still some issues kindle need to deal with on the screen freezing and having to reboot since downloaded the updated software it doesn happen as often but still happens some of the more popular authors books are priced as high as the bookstores but guess that the publishers fault maybe with little pressure from all of the book readers they ll come down overall think it great buy 1 love at first sight the title of my review tells it all it really was love at first sight find my kindle UNK my reading process it so convenient we have two story home when going to be at my UNK office for awhile just stick my kindle in back pocket and take it along when have little down time while up there out comes my kindle and there the exact page where left off in my previous reading session my wife and have books UNK out of UNK UNK UNK bedside tables and damn near UNK else it possible to place them no mas UNK that no longer necessary do hope the UNK book inventory will be increased over time finding some books like very much to order aren available but as said in the beginning really pleased with my kindle can imagine how anyone who enjoys reading could feel otherwise like UNK say UNK else UNK my kindle through amazon when had problem getting it hooked up and running went back to the folks at amazon for help as usual they were great they led me through the few simple steps necessary and was in business ve had that same kind of excellent service from amazon before 1 great device except the difficulty of accessing wifi it pretty convenient device so as to have book to be downloaded in minute enjoying it very much the only pity thing is the difficulty to set up the access to wifi was not able to access to wifi by the UNK only had to find solution by searching blogs in which those who bought one also found difficulties and found the solution by themselves 1 21 days to ship to canada blogs and etc not available to canadian users the product is great use it more often than my ipad however maybe just for us poor canadians the delivery is fee and it took 21 twenty one days from the status changed to shipped not from the day ordered for it to arrive to my desk more over most of the blogs and magazines and all the games that offered to us user are not available to canadian users 1 as UNK books online reader bought kindle UNK for reading computer books UNK by UNK for this specific purpose the reading experience is nowhere as good as an ipad if you have the same need better go with an ipad perhaps in the future UNK will improve the k3 device experience don hold your UNK not sure k3 is priority for UNK 1 new kindle bought the new kindle for my son in law as birthday gift loved mine so much that wanted to share the experience he loves to read and one of the things that was hardest for him was to find time to go to the bookstore now with his kindle all he has to do is click on what he wants and it is there in 60 seconds anyone who loves to read should consider getting kindle some of my friends have other devices but think the kindle is the best 1 no more books to store have just finished my first book using my new kindle what joy it does far more things than will probably use but glad it has that ability in the event that get UNK again it is so comfortable to hold and easy to navigate thru the menu and home pages at my age hesitated to make the investment but now sooooo glad that did 1 nook vs kindle UNK over this question for the months before would be making my ultimate decision and eventually went with the kindle only because an UNK UNK gave me UNK information about the nook 3g coverage she told me it came with monthly fee knowing now that this isn the case wish could take it all back and get the nook it interface seems more user friendly you can check out books from libraries and lend them to friends and you can buy books from other sellers don get me wrong love my kindle but think love the nook even more 1 possible UNK ve had my kindle for about month now and am truly happy with it so far there are only things that would change if could the first would be to have the screen backlit understand the issues about making it easy on the eyes and it is but like to read at night and unless keep my table side lamp on or use clip on light that gets in the way can read at night in bed the second issue has been brought up by many others know amazon is in the market to sell books but love to see the possibility of having books being sent through the library ve tried several free books from amazon and have enjoyed them so far however having children in college with third UNK next year am trying to watch my budget would and have recommended the kindle to others because do have it with me most of the time 1 awesome this is one of the best products ve ever purchased awesome piece of equipment 1 UNK of UNK of UNK UNK wanted to buy this the very first day it was available still waited and waited till could not hold off any longer my better half told me to quit holding my UNK and take care of business am so happy finally made the jump into the deep end yes know this is not the end all and be all of technology still it is getting there do wish was only UNK old though why do wish this on myself knowing what have seen come about during the last 60 years do wish that could be here to see the next 60 years the light bulb the telephone the UNK the UNK the airplane the UNK the UNK the personal computer the UNK and the internet so many things so little time now we have library larger than the one of UNK UNK that can be carried around in one hand it seems every time think of something new to put in one of these fantastic items find it is already in it would try to hit all the high points in one of these but would just leave out ten points for each one do remember to include UNK 1 super kindle have checked out other readers and the kindle is the best especially like the speed in turning pages and the various fonts it offers the light weight is very easy on the arms and it comfortable to use 1 handy and UNK handy and UNK book good battery time perfect size and weight easy to read despite monochrome screen books in kindle format or in ms word converted to kindle fit perfectly in screen wi fi reception is sometimes weak biggest UNK is that pdf documents are very uncomfortable to read you either get very small print or UNK page and that should not be too hard to solve for internet navigation experimental better mouse or better any mouse would have helped finally it would ve been nice to be able to read my mail despite its negative aspects recommend the kindle and buy the next generation kindle with the improvements mentioned above 1 best ebook reader is an excellent product better value price most important as UNK object long lasting batteries for quiet reading everything is very nice wi fi beautiful 1 just got my kindle after what feels like UNK of waiting for the perfect time kindle edition and price point ve finally gotten my hands on one of these UNK devices thanks to amazon decision to make kindle available in retail stores such as best buy and UNK it so small and comfortable to hold the ink is so crisp it is everything hoped and UNK it would be ve already re read alice adventures in wonderland for the UNK time but first time on my kindle love everything about it the only downside see is that going to be spending considerable amount of money on books because of how easily accessible they are to me now if you ve been waiting patiently as have and find this latest generation of kindle to be much more affordable pick one up you won be UNK 1 just love it our family now has kindles and we love them somehow they make us both want to read more which is of course good thing have found good selection of books available only couple of UNK books we want that are not available yet on kindle it great to be able to share libraries as both devices are on one amazon account we get the nytimes delivered daily to one it be nice to be able to receive it on both with one purchase as you can with books the dictionary and search capabilities are great reading an internet page google is less than optimal but ok mine froze up briefly once but the customer service people were very helpful at fix simple re boot and good about follow up couple of phone calls to ensure that all was well the case is nicely designed but had to call amazon to figure out how to remove the kindle from its cover wanted to tape id to the back of the kindle there one improvement suggestion slot for card in case the device is lost and an honest person finds it and wants to return it overall we re very pleased with them 1 super product great product it lives up to my every expectation and then some it is hard to believe that the battery lasts so long have had it month and the battery is at 50 and read every day the wi fi UNK seems as sensitive as my notebook computer am sorry have to run have so many books to read and so little time 1 kindle wireless reading device wi fi display graphite latest generation review amazon kindle review just bought the kindle for my wife every time we go away she UNK in the airport book store for something to read think she ll love it the box is notable it clean well UNK and well designed to open the box there little pull tab that says pull here you pull the tab and it UNK the box open allowing you to now flip open the UNK UNK the entire box reminds me of the design by apple with their mac their ipod or ipad when you lift the UNK you are treated to beautiful little black device that is held UNK in place in the middle of the box with pre UNK beautiful looking UNK plastic UNK the device out of the box there only UNK UNK charging cord and little quick start UNK however you don even need the UNK because the kindle has on its screen the quick start instructions after removing the thin film of clear UNK you wonder whether the instructions are another UNK of UNK to be UNK off it not it actually the screen contents that are so realistic looking here are the instructions plug the charger in slide the button on wait second it immediately starts up with personalized welcome message to me how cool is that it then takes you through the functions of the device pretty awesome wanted to buy my wife book that was just released and she hadn bought it yet went onto amazon and in 20 seconds had UNK the book she wanted and with one click purchase now owned this book kindle version when turned on the kindle it asked which wi fi network wanted to connect to as soon as it was connected it immediately recognized that the book purchased was waiting to download and it did it automatically without me ever having to do anything this is done through amazon whispernet digital content delivery services the entire process was seamless easy and fascinating to see it was effortless that the true UNK of device that meant to deliver digital content make the device virtually invisible so the user UNK on the content that exactly what tell UNK who create video make the video production process seamless so the online viewer only sees the content they are trying to get out and not become distracted by the lighting the audio or video UNK my wife was amazed by this little device that holds 500 digital books now have to get her an accessory cover to protect it UNK that secondary accessory market what an opportunity UNK UNK UNK video UNK UNK 1 can believe it took me this long to get kindle got my kindle little over four weeks ago and can believe that was so resistant to getting one have always been big reader and hated to give up real books the kindle has made believer out of me though have over 400 books on my kindle and it is UNK me to read outside my usual genre there are just few things that am not thrilled with but they are very minor first have to wonder why the screen does not have backlight option my husband asked me if we couldn pay little more and get light but had to tell him no second am not crazy about the way the screen blacks out when you turn the page third the five way controller is UNK close to the back button and this gave me some trouble initially finally the letters on the keyboard are only UNK on and am already losing my and if they were UNK it would not matter if the paint wore off however the keyboard is qwerty thank you amazon so even if lose all the paint will still know what the keys are these minor issues are far UNK by the positives the amazing capacity of the kindle the amazing variety of books available on amazon the wonderful quality of the reading screen that does bring up one more place that think amazon could improve like reading old books have hard time UNK when book was published for the first time the usual date on the book in the kindle store is the date when it was published in electronic format 1 UNK love my kindle find the kindle fits perfectly into my purse can order new books directly from the kindle with no tax or shipping get instant delivery 1 amazon kindle absolutely love this product the kindle is the best thing to happen to an avid reader since paperbacks wonderful in every way 1 kindle bought the kindle for my UNK mother who has low vision issues the different font sizes and back light allow her to read without her magnifying glass so that is very helpful the kindle is very light weight so it easy to hold she has no trouble turning the pages books are very easy to load on it the biggest down side is that the other buttons on the kindle are so small that it extremely hard to tell what they are it hard for her to see the home button so put drop of red fingernail UNK on it because of the small buttons if she loses the book it very hard for her to find it again have to put all books on it and she would never be able to use some of the features because of the small unreadable buttons she is pleased with it but it does have its drawbacks 1 terrific product the kindle is terrific product reading on it is less distracting than reading book it also easier to hold than book the downloads are incredibly fast as person over 50 appreciate the adjustable font size the UNK manual is well organized and easy to navigate at some point may decide to subscribe to newspaper but not yet feel the kindle is very well made very well thought out device later on would like to see more foreign language books my other languages are german and UNK and then if possible text to speech capability in those languages then could buy children books to help me teach my grandson german maybe this foreign text to speech capability UNK already haven actually checked 1 to upgrade or not to upgrade from this is review my impressions between kindle and both of which own reasons to upgrade to new kindle much better reading experience due to better screen much sharper and good contrast forward and back buttons on both sides more fonts etc which amazon UNK longer battery life if you don go wireless transferring your library is snap reasons not to upgrade some UNK smaller isn always better the number keyboard is now accessed from the symbol key the four way controller is awkward and smaller and much easier to hit the wrong button prefer the k2 keyboard which is pretty good size was not an issue for me the k3 internet connection is inferior to the k2 at least in the us could not access the internet in more remote areas UNK and UNK UNK UNK and received weak edge signal if any my k2 had no problem could connect via wi fi don know what amazon means by improved web browser see no difference pdf still don UNK well and there is no word wrap when making the font larger photos are UNK better it not for picture books am happy bought the new kindle overall yes because the reading experience is much better and the price is right 1 streamlined beautiful crisp display have been amazed at how easy this is to read over 40 and font size aside the text is dark black and crisp it is UNK light in weight and UNK thin as well and the original leather cover that was offered is unobtrusive and effective like the physical keyboard you ll be surprised at what joy it is to use instead of the touchscreen type page turns are very fast and downloads are virtually immediate the whole device is UNK intuitive to use have to say amazon at this point in the technology wouldn change thing nice job 1 great product love being able to download books at the touch of button 30 seconds and its here 1 fantastic love kindle it lightweight no strain on eyes very portable my best friend in coffee shops train and in my free time 1 simply the best this is absolutely the best purchase for me also purchased one for my son who an avid reader and he always says did tell you love my kindle and he very hard to buy for find more time for reading since got my kindle too thanks amazon 1 some things love some changes would like while love my kindle my fingers do not am UNK and find it difficult to maneuver on the tiny keyboard this is no real bother as don plan to use it much but would really like bigger five point keyboard find moving around difficult the edges are so small keep hitting the center also would like the lt arrows to be white as find sometimes press lt instead of or perhaps raised so could feel them when want word UNK the keeps changing to and don get definition probably because find it difficult to move around on the five pointer but for me the best thing about my kindle is the ability to read heavy 600 700 page books with ease these books were so heavy to hold also can read faster on the small screen in printed large books often lost my place reading long lines as my eyes would jump to the wrong next line for example john UNK took ages to read in the print edition also large print books so heavy so really love having kindle and like the ability to turn pages from either side in your UNK of the hand holding kindle if hold it that way my thumb keeps pressing UNK also probably would have purchased the more expensive kindle if had known more about wifi you might consider simpler edition for older or UNK readers know some who would love to read again 1 love it love it wish there it were in color as UNK books have pictures that show as black UNK white 1 the amazing amazon kindle find the amazon kindle better than the ipad in many UNK it is much lighter the ability to bookmark the phenomenal ability of amazon digital media service whisper net to synchronize the various devices the ability to read the downloaded material on various devices kindle pc mac and ipad it uses almost no current have to charge the ipad almost every day it is much less expensive feel the ipad is UNK if you just want an ereader UNK UNK 1 kindle 3g latest generation this is replacement of my first generation kindle of which thought was great wow this is so much improved love it 0 kindle review live in canada and purchased the kindle 139 from amazon com because do not live in an area where at is readily available was told by an amazon customer service UNK that could purchase part to make it possible wireless router around 100 to use this kindle or could download from my computer also because am in canada there are very few kindle books to download chose to return this product via UNK mail 18 UNK to say am disappointed is an understatement believe amazon com should let people know that this product may not necessarily work well in other countries much time and effort was spent receiving and returning this product will say though that customer service was very UNK in their help 1 great product this was given as gift to my wife she is an avid reader and really enjoys the benefits and convenience the kindle offers she also loves the free word games that are available the only drawback is the quick start instruction UNK that comes with the kindle would prefer it being somewhat more detailed in explaining the functions of each feature having to search for this information on the kindle itself makes it little more difficult to learn how to open certain features overall this is great product and would highly recommend the kindle to anyone who loves to read 1 fantastic product love reading using the kindle it easy on the eyes goes anywhere and it UNK me to read UNK variety of fiction than have for years 1 UNK it so easy to operate and to choose wireless books light and easy to carry would appreciate if there was some lighting so we can read in the dark easy to turn pages and appreciate being able to change the font size 1 kindle wireless UNK device this is everything hoped it would be only thing added was the light so could read in bed more easily books download in flash so never have to wait til next shipment comes in love it 1 so glad got this having just purchased the nook less than month before this generation kindle was announced and seeing the somewhat long wait time was somewhat hesitant to buy it thinking how can it possibly be better than the nook but now am so glad did it is so light so easy to read and the battery life is unbelievable charged it for several hours when first received it month ago wi fi off unless need it and it still has about of the battery left haven had single problem with it and use it every single day have it with me pretty much everywhere go even when UNK on the treadmill it is definitely superior in every way to my nook ve never left review on amazon but this amazing device UNK an excellent rating thanks amazon 1 kindle little but big convenience the convenience is great no more running to store for books and looking for UNK 1 kindle review purchased the basic kindle for my husband we had bit of difficulty with the initial setup however we called amazon and rep talked us through the setup and we were off and running my husband absolutely loves it my father just bought my mother the 3g 1 great device after reading other reviews about the new kindle it seemed like the right time to jump in and get one couldn be more pleased bought the wi fi only model which for me is perfect the crispness of the print is fantastic it easier on the eyes than ink on paper the device is easy to operate in one hand and is light enough to use comfortably all day long the price is also very attractive and anyone who reads even UNK amount will UNK the investment in short order through cost savings on purchased books another great feature is the ability to sample books before purchase that feature alone has saved me considerable money in terms of UNK to purchase items that UNK probably have bought also amazon has an impressive list of free books some of which are free for only limited time which is continuously updated in summary you can go wrong with the new kindle it great 1 very nice bought this item to save money on books and make it easier for me to purchase them it has not disappointed me in either respect the screen is very easy on the eyes for reading like to read lot of the older UNK works like those of UNK UNK amazon has much better selection of these kinds of books than borders which is main reason why chose the kindle over other readers try looking for john UNK on borders no results look for him on amazon and you ll find number of his works also the ebooks on amazon are cheaper the same books by UNK UNK you see on borders for to sell for at most UNK on amazon not sorry at all that bought this device 1 stop shopping you ve found it as an english teacher love books love the way they feel smell love the weight the age am however rarely reading off of paper these days especially since purchased my kindle this is my third ebook reader and probably the last one ll buy for long long time is perfect too strong of word to describe my kindle wireless reading device wi fi display latest generation maybe but it darn close here we go it light easy to use the screen awesome it can be read in low light bright light and even UNK outside light did mention the screen was awesome ve only played around with the internet browser little but happy with being able to link directly with the amazon UNK browse novels adjust settings and download without hooking up to my main computer at 130 00 this device is steal this product is real home run please UNK the UNK 0 love my kindle love love love my new kindle printed out the instructions and learned on the fly the only thing wish the printed instructions had an index have both covers one with light and one without have my kindle in the one with light but that makes the device somewhat heavier will UNK whether use the light feature very much if not then will change out to the lighter version UNK light but overall love love love my kindle problem on the how do you rate this item there is no place to rate the item give it stars 0 kindle returned the kindle the day after it arrived the black and white screen did not do justice to the UNK texts that bought the kindle for and navigating though large textbooks is nearly impossible without page numbers there is an index but no way to get to the section you need except through the table of contents and then scroll page by page it would be fine for reading novel where you just flip page by page beginning to end 1 kindle review bought my kindle just few days before left on week trip to europe luckily bought the books wanted before left because could not purchase from the kindle store while was in london the one other thing that was not happy about is that it does not have light it would be perfect if could turn on light in the kindle instead of having to have lamp or other light on other than those two things love it 1 UNK kindle had sony 300 reader that was pleased with liked some of the added features of the new kindle so decided to give it try absolutely love it it is so much easier to read am constantly using the dictionary which is so easy to access just loaded some music so that can listen while read have transferred some pdf files to the reader and that too was easy to do have purchased some books on sale and also free books highly recommend it for anyone who reads it makes it fun and much easier 1 UNK the kindle is cool much easier to read than standard book the ability to adjust the text to my likes is great the newspapers and magazines selection leaves much to be desired unless your part of the UNK UNK UNK that likes UNK UNK to be UNK fed to them if you are then your in UNK heaven the kindle UNK the book 1 kindles in UNK central america let me put it this way the day actually got my kindle 3g my dad asked me to buy him one couple of weeks later friend of mine did the same show it to all my friends and UNK they all love it and dream with one live in very modern city UNK by beautiful trees UNK UNK and UNK we have two UNK UNK and dry it so sunny here reading is not the national hobby and when you love reading you have terrible experience looking for expensive books in two or three bookstores it frustrating the amazon kindle is the answer to my UNK however it would be great to find more spanish books the text to speech has an american UNK so don use it to read books in french spanish nor german it the best thing ve bought in while am so happy they call me kindle UNK can you believe that it just that love reading and amazon made it easier and UNK for us thanks guys success UNK UNK 1 kindle UNK for ex UNK live in italy and recently bought wi fi kindle like it and it works well but look at the UNK of buying book when living abroad UNK the help 40 kindle on amazon uk 11 00 paperback from local store in italy 13 UNK kindle on amazon com 15 60 paperback from amazon uk with the choice is obvious isn it but no even though one of the reasons bought the kindle was to save money on the books seen on the uk site when got the machine found have to buy kindle books from the us 13 UNK rather than 40 in this case this will cost me UNK more than the paperback from my local UNK thanks to UNK and UNK see comments ve cancelled the rest of this message and upgraded my rating from to had thought that couldn share my books with others UNK based on today exchange rate UNK charges for amazon purchases not included 1 my library on my night stand at night when want to read just grab my kindle if fall asleep while reading the kindle keeps my page no bookmarks required 1 the kindle made me better reader highly recommended have never been voracious reader although there was always little part of me that wished was don know how many books have started and never finished most of my friends are avid readers and would often feel left out of the conversation when they would talk about the books they were reading it has been in the back of my mind to try kindle ever since it launched back in 2007 but it always seemed little too expensive and wasn sure it would change anything for me with the new 139 wifi model decided to give it shot believe it or not the kindle has completely changed the way that read read much more now and actually finish the novels that start also love the convenience of having my favorite newspapers and magazines instantly downloaded to the device the kindle also makes it incredibly easy and convenient to preview books before purchase which love think the biggest surprise for me was when found myself becoming completely UNK in what was reading and forgetting that was holding an electronic device also really appreciate the UNK simplicity of the kindle it was designed for the UNK purpose of reading books unlike the ipad and the new UNK am an easily distracted person and love sitting down with my kindle and completely cutting myself off from email the internet and other web based distractions granted the kindle does have semi capable web browser but never feel the urge to use it due to its limitations and the fact that it is nicely hidden in the experimental menu also absolutely love the ink screen as opposed to an lcd screen like the ipad and UNK have to stare at computer screen all day the last thing want to do is come home and have to stare at another one just to read book am enjoying the kindle much more than ever thought would use it on daily basis if you love to read or if you are looking to improve your reading habits highly recommend the kindle it worked for me 1 love it have wanted kindle since it was 1st reviewed on oprah took UNK hour train ride and it was UNK couldn have survived without it love being able to order books on line and the easy way it is to take it with me wherever go however after using my UNK to order through my amazon account by wifi on my way through UNK my UNK account was UNK by and lot of very expensive UNK took place my card had to be cancelled it might be UNK but am leery to purchase again by wifi 1 wow wasn sure if was going to like the kindle or not but love it and it so much more than expected love books and love reading but now don have to worry about holding the book open losing my bookmark and it just like reading regular book love the fact that there are magazines that can order and can also get books for my yr old he loves the kindle and getting books instantly we don have book store in our home town but now we can get them on the kindle instantly 1 love my kindle love my new amazon kindle purchased it mainly to take on my summer vacation in europe so wouldn have to carry many books with me will use my kindle also to download UNK to use over there this is wonderful device for all book lovers might suggest that in the quick start guide that it is explained in detail how to turn off the kindle had mine in sleep mode for days and thought that it was off when the battery ran down so quickly realized my mistake did not read the users guide on the kindle right away and if the quick start guide had UNK the correct way to turn off the kindle that would have been helpful loving my kindle UNK 1 totally awesome it is everything the description says book get downloaded under minute very easy to read from very portable easy to charge and great to have with me have just started using it and am not familiar with all the features but am already in love with this was little concerned spending the money for this but it is worth it take it with me to work everyday have an UNK commute and read from here the entire time have not charged it in more than week and it is still going strong 1 love my kindle this is my first reader of any kind have been watching and waiting for the prices to come down and am glad did live in rural area where bookstores are few and far between and there is no 3g the wifi only version of kindle suits my needs perfectly found it very easy to use right out of the box the kindle is exactly what it UNK better than average reader the screen quality is very good and the ability to adjust the screen font and size to your liking is plus page turns are quick and receiving books is seamless with the wifi turned off the battery does indeed last about three weeks enjoy being able to lie it flat on table and read while doing other things and the ability to carry my library in my purse wherever go have found an UNK of free books in addition to favorite authors at reasonable if not little higher than first thought prices can remember what did before the k3 she is worth every penny 1 my first kindle love my new kindle it is so easy to take along UNK go it fits in my purse or my UNK pack and is easy to read whether it sunny or UNK the price was super saw kindle when they first came out and was immediately hooked but they were bit pricey at the time also like the fact that can change the font am senior and sometimes need to have larger print the kindle is perfect 1 just what wanted my son travels lot in his new position he commented on the hassle of using his laptop in flight to review read UNK and documents he commented on seeing others on board using their kindles and thought what neat tool had just purchased new kindle for my wife and saw how much she enjoyed her purchased on for my son and he was thrilled he says that with the capability to download word and pdf docs his work in flight and UNK time is UNK hassle free kindle is great 1 impressive but need improvement text to speech is great anyone know how to control the speech speed you can forward mp3 with alt how to backward anyone knows foreign language displayed correctly yet its title will only show marks have suggested to amazon to fix by UNK software found your eyes still get tired although good quality not real paper after all there is short cut for number entry alt 1st row characters alt didn buy 3g after realized 3g in other countries won work for browser good for buy books blog wikipedia in other country only update to UNK version seems speedy enough http www amazon com gp help customer display html ie UNK UNK UNK will keep it it worth even just for those free books update 10 2010 now that own for longer time now found gutenberg foreign language down has getting around for the title instead of download into kindle format directly you can download as txt of UNK format and save to your pc change the downloaded file title to the foreign title you want then send it to you kindle email address with convert then it will display title as you entered great although you will lost the author name but will take that the screen is just get used to found it doesn tire my eyes now it is great also if you are in ny UNK area and are on UNK online UNK wifi mostly by main UNK connect is very convenient besides the att hotspot fix point like mcdonald change to stars from stars great job amazon 1 kindle works great really like this product it had pretty quick shipment and would recommend it to anyone 1 an awesome reader as dedicated electronic reader absolutely love the new kindle great product that works as good if not better than advertised many of my friend see me reading it and after showing them all that it does and how well it does it they immediately order one don miss out on truly super product 1 best purchase am extremely please with the purchase of kindle it is absolutely the best thing that have spent money on in long time easy and clear to read easy to obtain any book that want within matter of seconds although ve had it under month so thrilled with it ve used it already for pleasure as well as downloading book for work enjoy UNK and instead of taking or books with me and weighing down my luggage now have my kindle and it will be so very handy great purchase and so well worth it thank you for coming up with such wonderful product 1 excellent at what it does in all the UNK about readers versus books should say that bought the kindle because already bought the books the books are god war about UNK pages before the footnotes and the index and UNK the first 000 years something like 100 years about 100 pages these are both brilliant works and more than UNK the effort it UNK to read them the new york times review of the latter says this is not book to be taken UNK it is more than 100 pages and its bulk makes it hard to take UNK at all the books are fine if you plan to sit in front of the UNK with UNK of UNK and book but they re just not suited for reading on UNK train or in bed in their native form they re UNK to go unread and these two UNK are so brilliant that that shame the kindle UNK them to ounces each and size that can comfortably be held in one hand second benefit of the reader is that it makes many older out of print books available this may be an UNK taste but it chance to read some of the UNK works in popular fiction the debate book vs reader may be relevant to best selling novels but for those works where the books is only available by chance in UNK used book store the opportunity to download some of these books for free is delight as book reader the kindle is superb it light weight affordable and the battery holds charge for days UNK through the book turning pages UNK bookmarks finding the last page read or even finding quotes is very easy and efficient it turns on in seconds and turns off automatically so that it practical for reading on train or bus the display is clear and the price is relatively reasonable because my home internet provider includes whole house wireless connectivity bought the wifi only version since it quite easy to download books at home not in position to compare the kindle with other book readers and will say that it doesn have the versatility of other reading devices but there it becomes matter of UNK and UNK the kindle really isn tablet computer it lacks the versatility but in exchange it offers long battery life light weight and low price as device for reading books it hard to imagine anything better 1 UNK la kindle as something of hard cover book UNK own over 500 books was more than bit skeptical about an electronic book but love my kindle usually am reading different books at time and when travel half the weight of my luggage is usually due to books magazines now can tuck my kindle under my arm or throw it in my briefcase or laptop bag and all set it really terrific techno UNK and the kindle is so easy to use even could figure it out without any difficulty an extremely well designed product it remembers where you stopped reading the display is easy to read in full sunlight and best of all it makes UNK books as easy as pushing few buttons simply love the fact that if listening to an author UNK his latest book on tv all have to do is type the name of the book on my kindle before forget the title and in matter of seconds seconds it there on my kindle ready to read simply amazing when you hear about book that won be released for several weeks all you have to do is select the book and on its release date the book is immediately available on your kindle now that really cool the kindle will pay for itself in no time whatsoever tired of paying 25 for book recent kindle version of new best selling book was only 12 95 and there are lot of free books you can download the customer service is first rate couldn figure out how to turn off my kindle so called customer service less than minute wait time the UNK was very helpful as it turns out there is no off switch the kindle turns itself off wonderful took it to pool party showed it to friends who immediately ordered kindles for themselves if you love to read you will want kindle have never been this pleased with product and buy the lighted cover too very slick and perfect for reading on planes trains and in the car 1 love it just got chance to try it out last night with the wi fi and love it can wait to start reading my books 1 UNK library ever my husband was given kindle as gift several years ago decided wanted an reader for myself we compared other brands and this was the one for me as well love the way you can enlarge the fonts it keeps your place on each book you may be reading you can download so quickly etc etc and the battery lasts nice long time truly you do not touch the screen so it stays nice and print UNK free instructions were nice and simple in the kindle downloads your choice almost instantly like magic has enough weight so you do not miss that while reading love reading on my sunny UNK with one hand free won ever lose ones place 1 best birthday present every purchased the kindle for my wife for her birthday it has been great she no longer has to take bunch of books with here when we travel to her parents it has performed great have it setup on my wireless network at home and she is able to download books she wants after viewing the sample that is available the best thing is that it has eliminated the clutter of paper back books she reads 1 kindle 3g just got my 1st kindle 3g latest generation on saturday it was gift and has not disappointed me in the least love the graphite color and am very very happy with all the features bells and whistles on it have waited very long time to get kindle and it is everything that thought it would be the only thing wished it had was built in light look forward to many many happy hours with my new kindle 1 kindle 3g love this kindle reader very elegant and easy to use with lot of possibilities extremely fast transfer of books purchased just yesterday showed it to UNK and told her how thrilled am about the kindle 1 love my kindle like everything about my kindle my arthritic hands have had difficulty in holding large UNK books the kindle is lightweight compact and easy to hold turn the page with light touch of thumb and can lay or sit in any position while holding the kindle the several available font sizes assure an easy read for any visual UNK it is so cool to shop for books many of the classics prefer are free by the way make choice and download it to my kindle in just couple of minutes hesitated buying the kindle because really love books however now that have it love it my only regret is my local UNK will lose my book buying business 1 kindle very positive did lot of researching before buying friend had kindle and it was nice decided to go with the kindle and have been very pleased battery life is excellent two weeks since last charge and not even at half power read lot too like the way the unit keeps track of your place even when reading more than one book at time have used it in all kinds of light bright direct UNK bright bulb light and dim light always easy to read can say enough good about this reader book selection is easy and quite extensive prices are quite reasonable too 1 fantastic have been using my new kindle wifi for some weeks now and absolutely love it reading is just like reading from paper my eyes don get tired and the battery last for ages converting documents with the kindle service is breeze but also recommend the use of calibre free conversion program for other ebook formats ve stopped printing out long pdf articles and read them all on my kindle the kindle is small enough to fit in big pocket of jacket for example so wherever travel to my kindle travels with me to all people that read lot can really recommend this ereader 1 only touch screen could be better than now very happy of my kindle probably most of the people who wish to buy one before taking the final decision go through process of comparison kindle ipad as did well for me having already an iphone UNK that an ipad and its high cost were needless UNK on what really needed that was device for reading books for that purpose kindly is simply perfect UNK that an ipad could replace laptop or notebook is ridiculous because it impossible ipad is not complete and can never be complete devices in my opinion should be UNK according to their main function and comprehensive device still does not exist except for computer of course the main function of an ipad is reading books and as an book reader it loses in the comparison with kindle kindle is great you really do not have the impression of reading on display it seems like real paper so would say it even UNK for your eyes very easy to use very light very good indeed maybe the only missing thing is that it does not have the touch screen technology but it not big issue we tend to UNK the quality of this type of technology but believe that many people often have troubles when UNK on their UNK ipads so at the end the dear old keyboard is still useful of course if amazon developed in the future touch screen kindle that would be nice but must say not UNK for this can enjoy my current kindle for long 1 great product love love love this product like the size of the screen etc am having little bit of problem navigating the system but that is just me and sure learning curve one thing have problem with is when turn the reader off it seems have to hold the button for several seconds otherwise it tends to go to the sleep UNK am doing some UNK or not allowing enough time appreciate some advise 1 great product great product reads well works well can find free or low cost books for me and my grandchildren am very impressed 1 love my new kindle this is my second kindle previously owned the first generation big improvement over the first and loved that one too it bit lighter like the navigation better smoother and faster page turning like being able to put my books into collections not too crazy for the text to speech but have used it on occasion it sort of UNK overall great thing and can imagine being without it as side note my husband offered to buy me ipad he though the book section was cool did look and UNK wasn it sleek and fun however more than needed just wanted to read and kindle had all needed for that 1 kindle latest better than real book only downside is you cannot very conveniently read UNK books and books with graphics but it will be more convenient to read your books on kindle 1 love it not going to try to provide an in UNK review ll just say that love this device wasn sure it was really going to be as readable as paper but for me it just as good if not better my 99 reading UNK is in bed at night and it superior to book because there is no page turning noise wishes for future versions slightly lighter it already better than most books would read but it can fatigue my hands wrists to hold something that thin for hours of course don want to ask for it to be thicker when turning it on in the dark very often will inadvertently move page or two ahead or behind my current position don think the page turning buttons need to move but maybe if they were UNK for seconds after power on hard switch to disable keypad buttons always gripping it strangely to make sure don accidently start typing or hit the menu or home buttons built in lighting have the lighted cover which is really quite good solution have suggestion for it also red light option my wife and UNK the led head UNK for reading few years ago and the red light does great job to enable reading but not creating enough light to keep each other UNK but it surprising that it doesn have built in solution understand why it doesn but mentioning it to keep those hardware designers in business finding solution to the problem options for gifting don like giving gift cards would like to be able to gift someone kindle title and let them exchange it if it duplicate but the UNK is that it needs to feel like gift oh UNK UNK gave me the UNK UNK but already have it sure he be ok if UNK it giving gift is as much about sending the message of what you wish for the UNK as UNK that they have the object options for UNK am UNK that can afford my reading habit and don actually speed read but at some point will have library of titles that at the very least would like to be able to give to my wife or kids even if not making them available for UNK in general still stars would never buy another paper back fiction book given the option large format UNK books may still have UNK but not pleasure reading 1 better than UNK have UNK the earlier kindle versions with UNK but after reading the reviews thought UNK and give it try love it surprised an avid reader and book lover didn expect to but it is handy as heck only thing do different is spend the extra 50 for the 3g one additional bonus haven seen mentioned my wife has developed multiple UNK UNK meaning UNK and UNK UNK such as ink and UNK binding bother her to the point she can be around them buying new book books from the library used books always always out UNK UNK so reading in bed was out this has solved the problem really if you your partner or loved one UNK from UNK and loves to read highly suggest it 1 amazing product love everything about the kindle 3g have yet to find any flaws in this product only wish would have bought this product sooner have had it for about month now an use it almost everyday the books are cheap the service is great and best of all it works in bright sunlight 1 kindle wi fi latest generation have been using my kindle for almost month now and love it it does extremely well everything expected from reader in that price range UNK the size and the fact it is so light even with the case bought with it can read comfortably for long time it UNK book in few seconds recommend it without reservation to anyone wishing an excellent ebook reader 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi got it as present for the wife and she loves it and if she likes it that means it is good 0 dissapointed kindle owner have purchased three kindles and two of the three work as promised the third one my wife isn working properly it doesn sync to the last page read in her books it reboots when she takes the kindle out of the sleep mode very irritating since it takes time for this to happen ve been working with customer service but it been over 48 hours and they still haven solved the problem maybe my wife kindle is not functioning as promised 1 the kindle is the best product tried very very happy with my kindle3 bought the wi fi version when UNK it though to keep out the paper over the kindle display but it was not paper it was the display so the contrast is exceptional and changing pages is the faster of any other ebook tried bought it more or less 20 days ago read book complete newspaper the italian available on amazon shop and tried web browser and any other kind of UNK so the battery duration is great UNK now finally the look is very nice and the weight very light regret not having bought the case with kindle so going to buy now UNK UNK UNK italy 1 the kindle is amazing got this for my wife for our UNK and she is UNK in love with it if you read lot she would highly recommend getting this item 1 love my kindle absolutely love my new kindle it is compact easy to read and it so simple to download books love having new book available within seconds and love that you can change the font size for ease in reading the only downside is not being able to share books with friends amazon should come up with way for customers to share with each other even if it is for limited periods of time that would make the kindle 100 perfect 1 great upgrade from kindle and kindle ordered this on wednesday afternoon and received it on friday super saving shipping excellent the kindle is huge improvement over my kindle am totally loving the crisper resolution and brighter background added the red kindle lighted case and now have perfect combination the wifi connects easily and the entire device is UNK faster than the kindle the price was just too good to pass up this upgrade bravo amazon 1 wise words by UNK finally bit the bullet and bought myself kindle have been waiting ever since first saw the product for the price to come down am the proud owner of new generation and love it the screen is so easy to read and love being able to change the font size as well it is so popular in my home that my husband is now reading book on it and am stuck reading paperback until he is finished the kindle is so easy to use and since bought it through amazon everything was set up for me in fact all had to do was start the process of charging the battery the kindle was ready to use in minutes and can be used during the charging process it packs easily and fits into my purse with ease downloading books is extremely quick and very user friendly the one and only flaw see is the position of the page turning buttons am bit clumsy so find they should be bit higher but think in time will adjust and get over turning pages when am not ready love my kindle and look forward to many years of happy reading love the fact don even have to leave the house to purchase the books want and can UNK books as well 1 kindles rock this is my second kindle not because the first one failed or disappointed but because gave it to friend who was UNK in paper books enjoy my kindle daily and it is my constant companion for waiting experiences like the doctors or car UNK even the UNK for traveling it is so much more UNK than UNK several books in your luggage when one book is finished it is simple matter to switch to another already in your kindle or buy another and have it delivered in matter of seconds now you can carry library of several thousand square feet in pocket or purse and access any book in that library instantly it is easy to see and read in almost any light and causes way less eyestrain than paper books you are also saving trees and your money both my kindles are the 3g model so am not restricted to internet UNK for UNK and purchases kindle is to reading as sliced bread is to UNK making enjoy 1 recommendations for the kindle have owned kindle k2 for year and recently bought kindle k3 love almost everything about it but do have couple of UNK for the next model move the on off switch back up to the top putting it on the bottom is inconvenient and awkward read at every UNK and my k3 sits on stand most of the time having to pick it up and turn it upside down is not the best way to turn it on the joystick is definite improvement from the k2 however the menu and back keys are so close to the up down arrows that press one of them lot rather than the up down arrows love everything else keep it up and looking forward to the UNK 1 kindle 3g what great product easy to read text internet access great value super quick download of my favorite authors 0 not happy with amazon customer service bought this as gift for friend on her UNK after hearing good reviews from people who own it at first she was delighted with it since she is an avid reader and frequent traveler but that was only till she tried switching it on it turned out that the device was defective screen display issues my friend got it replaced and the replacement kindle was again defective with the exact same issue each time she had to spend many hours talking to amazon representative to nail down the problem my gift ended up wasting her time instead of pleasing her she finally decided that she had enough and did not want the kindle but by this time the device was out of the 30 day return period amazon only UNK 80 of the original value for device that was never delivered in working condition customer very unhappy with how amazon handled this whole issue 1 love it love it love it what surprise expected convenience on trips and in waiting rooms what did not expect was to use my kindle almost to the UNK of paper books imagine finishing book loving the author and having to wait for amazon delivery of the next book in the series not good within minute my new book is delivered and can begin reading kindle is convenient light very easy to read and even easier to navigate am not techie and didn even need to read the instructions to get started thanks amazon for an incredible bargain and an awesome product UNK 1 short but sweet there will be more about my favorite digital device but for now it UNK my heart that when reading which do lot UNK up in my bed and sometimes put the put the book down and move about and like most books magazines et al it UNK and all do is pick it up and there am right where left off with no page UNK or fumbling just back to kindling 1 it great ve had mine for month now and it great ve already read six novels ve read few of the freebies and found myself turned on by authors had never read before my one suggestion to people considering buying get the cover now didn think it was necessary at first and found myself getting UNK about UNK the screen or something downloading books using wifi is very quick and easy also download through my pc again very quick and easy what can amazon improve on really am bothered by the fact that can not share book don understand paid for it why can let me mother read it believe that really needs to be addressed 1 kindle vs kindle should you upgrade liked my kindle only had one problem with it the way controller broke read lot and use the controller quite frequently to make notes and look up words amazon sent me new kindle immediately on my extended warranty the kindle is worthy upgrade particularly if you use the controller lot the new controller is better and seems more durable it very intuitive to use very simple there was no adjustment period for me other changes keyboard the keyboard has been simplified to include letters and few other buttons such as menu home back etc with the numbers now UNK to the sym box the keyboard itself is UNK where the other one was smooth making it easier to type on the keys are closer together but that doesn affect the ease of typing the home menu and back buttons have been moved to the keyboard area and are UNK in shape to UNK them from the letter keys page turns the only controls at the side are now the page turns so there is next page and previous page on both sides of the kindle which had often UNK for these page turn buttons are much smaller and it might take you few page turns to get used to where they are it easy to turn pages and much quieter you don have to push the buttons UNK anymore and doubt you ll ever pick up the kindle by the page turn buttons inadvertently turning the pages which was the main trouble with the first generation kindle the page turns are also noticeably quicker size it is smaller and thinner but no so much that it feels fragile or UNK especially if you buy cover for it which recommend ink the ink really is quite bit darker it was dark enough for me in the kindle but suppose it little easier to read in low light and the words of UNK in the red letter bibles are easier to read as well wifi bought the wifi only version and it was incredibly easy to set up you only need the name of the wifi network and the network password color if you have choice would recommend the white if you use the keyboard lot it hard to see the keyboard at night with the darker color even if you have one of those covers with the built in light you can get the wifi only version in white unfortunately type UNK etc you can now choose from regular condensed or sans serif font and line spacing of small medium or large it doesn look to me like there are any larger or smaller sized UNK there is nothing different for text to speech that about it am very happy with all the changes recommend upgrading if you use the controller lot because it will break eventually also if you need faster page turns and darker text these changes are noticeable and would justify an upgrade otherwise continue to enjoy your kindle 1 very impressed had ordered the kindle dx thinking would be better but it wasn ordered the kindle latest generation to compare them and it is much lighter with all the bells and whistles which has made all the difference in the world sent the dx back setup and downloading books has been breeze am really impressed and happy with the ease of use since am not techie 1 love it love this product it is so easy to download new books easy to read easy to navigate overall great product 1 kindle latest generation just love my kindle this is my first reader for the price this device is well unbeatable although read about the more UNK ones that are UNK in colour am totally satisfied with the performance for what need the kindle for the screen does indeed give better than average performance and can read without my UNK one thing that bothers me is that accidently press the buttons on the bottom of the device when holding it and lose my place this is easily overcome an UNK that would appreciate is an improvement to the music play facility where one can UNK the music UNK to be played 0 unreliable and not much useful waited it so long however when received in september 2010 it broke the very first day before it died discovered that its support for pdf is very limited that though you probably can store multiple files but you can place them in folders because kindle doesn know what folder is btw it is not easy to find proper device description on amazon website 0 item never received zero customer support from amazon no email addresses no phone numbers no resolution from amazon UNK to my company to UNK UNK 1 great item UNK hi all how didn buy it yet go and do when receive the item though it cover by paper but it was the screen it self but it have one issue the to read the doc and images it need to send to to UNK to convert it and send it back to also there is no font zooming in pdf everything else perfect 0 kindle UNK UNK as first opened my kindle felt rush of joy and excitement however when came around to loading UNK was little disappointed at the size of the content it is barely legible thought would be using it everyday but its too UNK and cumbersome rarely use it have had it for month now and aside from the first week its just UNK collecting dust maybe ill have better use for it in the future but as of now regret buying the kindle 1 kindle wifi UNK to joy of reading bought the kindle wifi few weeks ago when was visiting UNK UNK currently live in UNK china ve always been fan of books but the lack of selection in UNK for english language books and the high prices unless UNK upon book UNK on the street left little time or incentive to keep up on my reading the kindle wifi was great purchase ve rarely been this satisfied with product it great to use and as another reviewer noted it is actually much easier and more pleasant to read on then real book due to its size light weight the fact that you can operate it with just one hand to turn pages etc the increasing font size is also great for those who like to read while doing UNK at the gym decided to purchase the wifi because target didn have the 3g in stock think the wifi is great for most people usage just purchase books off amazon and load to my kindle via usb after all there never been moment when saw book and needed to read it right at that moment which you could do with the 3g however one small caveat that the wifi UNK compared to the 3g is for magazine subscriptions if you purchase magazine subscription you can only get it UNK wirelessly to the kindle haven been able to load it to my computer hence unless am in wi fi area every day miss out on some magazine issues 1 poor ergonomics otherwise good reader the text is easy to read in most lighting conditions my biggest gripe is that it is UNK around the edges kinda like UNK UNK and the page advance buttons are at the extreme edges of the device so it is hard to hold in one hand in way that is comfortable and also push the advance buttons my second gripe is that the way cursor movement button is not high enough often need to use my finger nail instead of the tip of my finger my last gripe is poor battery life UNK less than advertised only couple days at most with the wifi on and maybe or days with it off 0 can connect to computer with password not pleased am not sure you want my response but will give it anyway have had my kindle for month have tired more times than can count to attempt to open it with no success might add have contacted support and written numerous emails all for UNK each email and each call rendered no help in opening my kindle have even received replacement kindle because the letters were wearing off the keys after attempting to open my kindle so many times will be returning the kindle ordered and the kindle was sent to replace the one purchased don understand what the problem is have even gone to local business with wifi and can open my kindle would be very interested in learning if anyone else has had this problem and what the answer was to their problem know of friends who are considering kindle purchase so far can recommend this product will say however the UNK have contacted to help have attempted to be helpful the emails have been answered promptly service has been great my only UNK is the fact that can open my kindle 1 reader delight really like my kindle if there is one complaint it is that way too many books have no canadian rights understand why but it is still very frustration recently bought canadian book hardcover as there are no canadian rights for the kindle even though it is canadian book and live in canada 1 awesome being an avid reader of books was bit hesitant in purchasing this product UNK would miss holding book in my hands or not be able to see the screen clearly or the battery would die in the middle of reading book to name just few concerns was completely wrong the screen has virtually zero glare the font adjustment allows even people who normally need reading glasses to be able to read without them the weight is light in comparison to most books read can go on and on to how much enjoy this kindle however the one like at the top of my list is the ability to download new book and start reading almost immediately is UNK normally order online and have to wait few days for my books to arrive making waiting for continuing UNK UNK at times have no negative feedback would recommend getting the case with light allowing you to read in areas without UNK though 1 faster than UNK bullet this compact and light weight device is perfect for travel including UNK it is pleasure to have large and UNK selection of material to read at night without the extra weight just used it on an 18 day UNK UNK trip and the battery held up well after realized the wireless which did not work anyway in that location needed to be turned off UNK charger came to the UNK and the recharge lasted through 15 days of use it is so much nicer to read newspaper this way while on an airplane or even on an UNK device in the gym downloads are fast and easy to accomplish while on the run this small kindle is going to be going lots of places 1 since bought my kindle not missing my tv my reading habits have improved lot since bought my kindle read everywhere and anytime now even leaving the tv off and not missing it read for hours especially at night it is comfortable to hold not heavy at all the size is very convenient to carry around etc so many positive things to say and no negative ones come to my mind 1 love my kindle it is light weight can hold it in one hand when my eyes get tired can increase the font size it reads to me while am driving downloading new book only takes seconds there are lots of free books to download no complaints at all 1 love love love it well ve got to admit was one of those people who used to roll my eyes at the whole reader thing when they first came out but last week finally broke down and bought kindle after found my UNK UNK and then read so many fabulous reviews for the thing online and ve got to say ve been very very surprised by how much love reading on the kindle it very easy to use but read the user guide people it long but do it it worth it and the look of the whole thing is just great it not necessarily fancy UNK sort of thing but in an absolutely wonderful way it lets the technology fade into the background somehow so you can really focus completely on jumping right inside your book haven been this happy with purchase in long long time and think that thanks to amazon UNK something specifically for readers and not worrying so much about making it UNK or whatever no backlight no eyestrain UNK it an amazing device in it simplicity and really think they ve been spot on with price quality ease of use everything would definitely recommend the kindle to anyone who loves to read 1 great device in world full of devices that do many things well we almost forgot what it is to focus on one task and to become great at it have had my kindle3 for little over week and have no complaints it is the UNK of picking one task and doing great job at it this is not multi function wonder gizmo that takes care of 10 things at once cell phone laptop and am ok with that bought the kindle to read from and have not been disappointed pros lightweight and quick learning curve good selection of books to download with free items to choose from in between purchases am not much for UNK books so keeping my collection in the library in the sky UNK whispernet is awesome long battery life weeks easy to read screen in and outdoors it screen is like high tech powered etch sketch that UNK the page when the screen changes it really does look lot like reading paper in paperback book things people are complaining about no backlight have used lamp or other light to read from for years this was not an issue no games there have been games released but bought this to read from so this is not problem for me no ability to loan to friends from library who really wants to share anyways new control layout pad placement am new kindle user so have no UNK UNK to the old layout as for the complaint of hitting the back button accidentally have found the low tech solution of UNK down and being careful to work UNK wifi issues mine connected with no UNK have to wonder if the one star reviews for connectivity issues have something to do with the id 10 toggle being on like holding book haven held cd case in years but still listen to music besides less paper used happy trees right UNK was under no UNK that was buying some wonder device wanted to buy an reader and the kindle has not let me down thank you for picking one area to be great in and doing it well 1 kindle 3g wireless ve used my wife sony reader one of the first generation and this kindle beats it hands down like the shape of the kindle can hold it in either hand and advance pages without any trouble the text is very clear and easily readable there is glare usually under UNK lights but it not too bad and can tilt the reader to avoid most of it really like the text to speech function although don use it so far it has nice possibilities however the quickness and ease that can find and download new books is amazing have to be careful so that don UNK my budget buying books it that easy have yet to use wi fi to download book since the free 3g service is so very nice while not cell telephone fast the delay in getting to the kindle store and reading about book is not at all bad UNK the only reason did not give stars is because of the location of the on off sleep switch have put my kindle to sleep few times when holding it with my right hand only think that this switch should have been placed on the top to avoid this issue however since aware of this problem just hold it little differently in my right hand than my left would definitely recommend this kindle to others wonder when they ll come out with color version 1 my UNK so far am very pleased with my kindle it has done everything that the UNK says it would do check with me in few months UNK UNK 1 perfect kindle is perfect can read twice as long as with normal paperback because it is so light and the display is very comfortable to the eyes 0 great product but the industry is rip off this product is great we all know the benefits of owning one why gave this product two stars is because the cost of books and inability to resell them if you do comparison between the physical book and the kindle version the price difference is minimal and given the inability to resell kindle book the way you can sell physical book the UNK loss adds up significantly if amazon UNK this problem this product UNK stars but they are the ones directly responsible for this extraordinary cost very disappointed 1 kindle review love my kindle have bunch of classics that are absolutely free very convenient when your going to doctor or waiting for your car to be UNK the only problem is that ordered cover to protect it and it still hasn come it been little over month since received my kindle and amazon has been touching base with me UNK to let me know it still on order just need it 1 love my kindle it is the best traveling partner imagine sunny UNK UNK where you just want to lay down and read all day the easiest way to do that is with kindle best purchase of 2010 1 little piece of perfect UNK love my kindle received 100 00 gift UNK for amazon from my brother his family for my birthday so decided to buy kindle after hearing how much he loved his absolutely some of the best money ever spent recently went camping took it with me just one little piece of perfect UNK in my hands instead of bag full of books so sat outside in perfect UNK weather reading my kindle it was so relaxing my only wish is that amazon could make kindle books available for gifting from my wish list maybe before christmas 1 perfect to read but no so international as expected very good to read books pdf reading to be dramatically improved sometimes very difficult because characters are not UNK and pdf is not really UNK you need to scroll the window not real international product still too focused on usa 1 kindle 3g is worth the price went back and forth on the wireless vs 3g and for the price UNK get the 3g this has been great purchase for me just wish more textbooks were going to the kindle version but overall exactly what thought it would be 1 wonderful just love my kindle it is so easy to take with me every where go can request new releases from my favorite authors in matter of seconds helps me with my very busy schedule and when libraries and stores are closed just love it the cover with light is must have and provides enough light for me to read on air planes 1 kindle review my wife and have been thinking about purchasing kindle for some time recently we decided to purchase we have enjoyed the UNK of the unit the selection of reading material is great we are actually considering buying another so we don have to share the one unit great item will recommend it to our friends one negative the wifi is little slow but only when you are searching for stuff on the net 1 kindle 3g wireless reader this is an amazing book reader love it am able to put many sort of books on it to be with me all the time the reader is very light and comfortable the books download under minute and you are ready to go with the older books there are tons that are free from classics to new stuff and with the newer stuff cheaper than the real book this is great deal thanks amazon for great reader les 1 great for casual reading and school one of the reasons held off on buying one for so long is because generally do not read enough UNK to justify buying such product but as history major that is still in college have to read many historical novels and other books with this product for research when writing papers was able to find all books that needed for my history class this quarter for download another reason was because thought could never read off the screen thinking it would be too bright or straining on the eyes this is not the case at all it mimics paperback novel and has zero brightness the ink looks like normal ink and the entire thing looks like book 1 fantastic shipping from amazon was perfect as usual received my kindle faster than ever expected the kindle itself is absolutely fantastic first of all it is extremely light weight since started using my kindle have lost any and all UNK do pick up an actual book so much so that have started looking for digital versions of books have at home that had not read yet the controls are completely intuitive and simple and only after few minutes of UNK around was flying through the menus and organizing my books in collections making notes and highlights sharing passages over facebook and using the browser to download books from project gutenberg the screen is indeed like looking at printed page that together with the lightweight indeed makes the device seem to disappear also since you do not have to turn pages and its single UNK you can read while lying down on your side big plus for me because used to have the hardest time finding good position to read while in bed the mp3 player is nice feature and the UNK speakers on the device are great don expect to UNK sound over UNK though you cannot choose what track to play but you can move back and UNK through available tracks also the names of the tracks are not displayed anywhere on the subject of sound the text to speech is very good you can modify the speed of the voice and also the UNK male or female the internet browser if functional many pages will not open and atleast once the kindle froze on me while trying to open page you can access most free email sites that have mobile page though guess this was built in it won let me type on the gmail mobile site all in all will say that anyone who enjoys reading and is not looking for hype color display touch screens media players etc amazon kindle is sure fire win take mine UNK go could not be happier with it will however be writing to suggest they allow for custom screensavers it would be an easy way to personalize the kindle and would be extremely useful to UNK with multiple kindles 1 kindle wireless reading device bought this for christmas present for my brother therefore it will not be used until christmas day would like to purchase the extended warranty but don want it to take effect until christmas day is it possible to do this please let me know at UNK yahoo com also will not be registering the product until christmas day the person who will receive this as gift is UNK UNK at same email address 1 love my kindle bought my kindle almost one month ago and am really happy with it read lot and kindle is great to carry everywhere the weight and size make it easy to take it with me whenever want the battery lasts long time lot of great books are for free furthermore there are lot of good deals in lot of ebooks 1 well done amazon kindle3 wifi is great product have had other readers not kindles the big difference with those and the feature love the most is the quick page turn that has two very nice UNK first improves the reading experience second makes UNK with the device menus managing collections etc possible and nice the books purchasing experience also very good you purchase book and UNK it is in your device impressive the point to improve pdf support that would be very appreciated things currently UNK like table of contents links white margin UNK custom zoom 1 function perfectly addressed like my title says find difficult to UNK the need for better price 1 new kindle love my new kindle reader it is very light and the words show up well even in bright sunlight have not had it enough time to know if will be able to UNK to all the books want to but the first two months of book club were on it the third one was not it is so easy to turn the pages and use it while UNK my UNK UNK and don have to use two hands to turn the pages 1 UNK handy this is the first time have used an book so bought it based on reviews for me it is great as travel lot so saves me space and weight in my suitcase also it handy for me living in country where english books are UNK to have choice UNK at my finger tips and within seconds have yet to by cover but this is next on my list it did not take me long to get used to reading off screen and the book being lighter than book is great would be bit worried about taking it on beach though as they show on the advertising would hate to drop it in the sand all in all it UNK and would recommend it to avid readers UNK and for people living in country where books are limited in their own language 1 exceeded all my expectations had gone back and forth for more than six months about which reader to purchase had UNK it down to two in particular the sony reader and the amazon kindle couple of months ago got great deal on sony reader touch so went with that one and was pleased with it at the time and then some events happened recently and ended up purchasing an amazon kindle to say that was blown away when opened up the packaging and turned on my new kindle would be an UNK every concern had about the amazon kindle has been UNK in the last 24 hours literally felt UNK over when pulled it out of its packaging and turned it on the ink is absolutely amazing don know how they did it but it is actually easier to read than paper books yes it is much more eye friendly to me and anywhere you can read paper book you can read the kindle direct sunlight no problem low light got it covered and amazon knows what they are doing from marketing UNK it is super easy to search the kindle store and to buy books and get them delivered directly to my kindle in less than 60 seconds push button to buy book and UNK it there in minute may remind you that live out in the UNK in very rural part of north UNK can sit on my back UNK and get books in very short time my wife will probably be writing to the folks at amazon UNK them and wishing them very painful UNK could go on and on about everything love about my new kindle about how going to be reading tons of great UNK authors about how ll probably increase my reading UNK about how going to save lot of space in our house but ll keep it simple you know how some folks talk about love at first sight well for me all it took was one look the amazon kindle is superior to the sony reader touch in every aspect in my opinion other than the sony has touch screen which is good at times but can be UNK too amazon has put out tremendous product and has streamlined the shopping delivery process for getting content to the kindle ve been intrigued by books since began looking into them year or so ago but now totally sold on them and sold on the kindle it no competition in my book wholeheartedly recommend the kindle as the reader if you re thinking of getting one and even if you re not thinking of getting one you should 1 not sure yet bought this for christmas present haven given it to them yet keep getting emails so figured better better respond with something have heard they are really nice until then 0 disappointing screen brightness for kindle kindle having received my kindle this afternoon and after spending time to become familiar with the device it became near UNK am so disappointed that cannot UNK the screen in order to read like to read in bed and it looks as though the lights will have to be switched on know have to read with lights on with book but UNK the impression it easy read in low light as well as bright light ve looked at the UNK on kindle and see that people are returning them because of this issue looks like ll be following if amazon don offer solution UNK australia 1 kindle this is my second kindle this one is birthday present for my wife it is an excellent product it is so well UNK its simple to use with great readability little would do to improve 1 happy the new kindle is everything could want light weight easy to use the screen is pleasing to the eyes and the book selection is pretty much complete had mine for weeks now and have still not bothered to charge it only have the wifi but that is all need some might find the convenience of 3g to their liking but it is really not necessary if you are on the fence get one now 1 my dream purchase over the past few years had developed UNK for reading classics unfortunately there is UNK of good libraries in my UNK and did not want to buy any more books the ones had were UNK for space reading emails on computers at office and home is okay but don fancy reading book on computer had been tracking kindle for quite some time now with the price coming down to 139 thought it was time to bring home my first ebook reader was somewhat concerned about kindle due to the following reasons had read in several reviews that the make of this device was not as good as the earlier versions and looked quite UNK in comparison do not live in the us so the wi fi is almost useless and depend solely on the usb for file transfers this adds to the risk that if anything goes wrong with the device it will be pain to get it repaired what attracted me most about kindle was the ability to read pdf though was aware that there were certain limitations the options to increase font size do not work with pdf though screen rotation magnification provide some relief for tech fan like me reading in tiny fonts is UNK to reading the hard copy but this is surely going to sink lot of UNK kindle displays ebooks in its UNK formats azw prc etc quite well the gb storage sounds low since we are used to large UNK of the ipods but come to think of it ebooks usually UNK few hundred UNK however for someone who UNK to use kindle for audio books storage space will be problem the audio UNK of the speakers is quite low it okay if the reader is interested in low volume background music while reading found few things really cool the ability to refer to the built in dictionary while reading is really helpful when the device is switched off there is an image which shows up you can compare it to screen saver which usually is the profile of an author or natural UNK think they should name it kindle art the battery runs weeks without recharging which is great the usb functions pretty well too recently had UNK experience with my touch screen phone so am not interested in that particular feature as of now the genres of books intend to read are not supposed to be great on images so the black and white works perfectly well for me as for the content will not have access to online stuff till wi fi UNK UNK in my country found huge collection of free ebooks in several formats including prc mobi and azw at gutenberg overall think it provides great value for money and am glad purchased it this is exactly what needed 1 kindle 3rd gen review bought kindle few weeks ago and like it lot no more tired hands when reading in bed the functionality offered is better than expected apart from very good reading experience specially like the browser quick access to wiki and the handy dictionary there are only few issues like to point out pdf support it UNK to read book in this format only in landscape mode because in portrait the font is too small and the zoom feature is totally useless to read you need to scroll the page right to see the end of the line and scroll back left to read the next one also personally not fond of the controls on the bottom of the device specially the headphone jack because when lying and listening to the audio can put the kindle comfortably on my UNK and read all in all it very good product and enjoy greatly using it 1 great purchase the latest version of the amazon kindle is amazing it is super easy to use right out of the box and the battery life is great even better if you turn off the wifi when not in use highly recommended 1 best gift ve received love my kindle my husband was in between an ipad and kindle for my birthday he did his usual amount of extensive research and decided the kindle was best for what truly wanted reliable easy to use reader sure the ipad is color and does all kind of other things but for the love of reading the kindle is for me really like the size and weight read in bed and find it much easier to manage than paperback or hardback have noticed that lot of people hate on the kindle for the life of me don understand it ve heard it the death of print it the end of bookstores it takes away from authors UNK UNK UNK buying more books and will always buy physical books as well as kindle editions 1 stars is not enough wow what great product easy to use from the initial start up to downloading to reading no more making space in the suitcase for couple of paperbacks and one or two hardcovers this little thing does it all and does it in outstanding fashion 1 love it after reading about and testing all of the new readers out there still was unsure of what wanted talked about it so much was UNK everyone crazy my son UNK took the UNK out of my hands by coming home with the new kindle3 he said it was the UNK to use now had it for about week and have completed my UNK book on it from the time took it out of the box the ease of use was UNK now never leave the house with out it thank you kindle 1 just wonderful enjoy having this reader love the fact that can download the books want to read keep it in my collection for as long as want and not have to worry about the books taking up space always hesitated buying novels because after UNK in such books would wind up UNK them the books cost less than most paperbacks and some books are available for free being dependent on one income could not afford the luxury of spending so much money on books that wind up UNK my library does not carry much of the books would care to read so would have to wait for another library to send it to my library but my life is too busy for the short period was allowed to have the books so usually would wind up not reading the book entirely now can read any book wish and take as long as wish to read it it pretty easy to use also enjoy that one can use curser to find definitions of words without leaving the page no need to UNK to get dictionary to look up word the only problem have is that can not connect thru wifi probably because of where live so need to download the books thru my computer first before can down load to my reader otherwise it is just wonderful 1 excellent UNK de los UNK que les UNK UNK UNK UNK de UNK la compra esta UNK es una de UNK UNK UNK el kindle es excelente UNK con las UNK de UNK que le UNK la lectura leer UNK UNK la

expensive than thought they would be but the convience is UNK 0 very poor support for pdf just bought my kindle mainly to read pdf documents but looks like kindle has such horrible support for pdf that it would be better to not support it at all unable to zoom the text the way want should use UNK ages 150 300 etc what if want to zoom it UNK or what if want to zoom the section of the screen that want hope they ll upgrade the firmware to better support pdf documents 1 good UNK did some searching before buying my kindle 3g checked all the other reading devices and kindle was rated recently was talking to friend who purchased different reader only to find she had to return it she could not get the thing to work made me feel even more confident in my choice the ease of downloading reading material is amazing the only reason for not giving stars is think it should have backlight but love it anyway 1 love my kindle this is my first reader and love it ve been wanting an reader since they first came out cause want all new technology as soon as see it but couldn justify spending the money when can barely find time to read so glad amazon got their prices down because now that have one ve read more books in the past month than ve read in the past two years took it to work as soon as got it and now of my co workers want one too love the fact that amazon offers books for free for limited times signed up for the daily emails at UNK com and can now be notified every time new book is added to the free list so far have about 65 books on my kindle that didn cost me dime because they were on the free UNK list that not even counting all the classics that you can get for free anytime ve also found several books in pdf format for sale for literally UNK and just convert them using calibre and have kindle formatted book that can be used with the text to speech feature the web browser is great when need to look something up away from home too it nice to just grab it out of my purse and look up directions or phone number or even comparison shop on line when at the store and see an item want to buy granted it not perfect but it better than not having it great little bonus thanks amazon for making reading easier and more fun 1 the kindle is great have had my kindle for only few weeks but so far really love it it so easy to download books or test some of the book before buying had an account with amazon so purchasing new book is as easy as selecting it and it downloads within few seconds love the flexibility in UNK myself how large the type and number of words per line most comfortable reading at have absolutely nothing bad to say about this product so far do miss turning the pages not at all 1 amazing device this is one of the best products have purchased in the last year hands down knew people with earlier edition kindles and decided to get this one am completely satisfied the screen froze on me once and actually UNK buying another one right away luckily the troubleshooting guide helped me to solve the problem there been no issues since then this is an ideal gift for someone who loves to read loves to read multiple books at one time and loves to be able to have those books with them at any time also purchased the lighted cover and although it expensive it is well worth it also even if you re just considering buying kindle go ahead and buy this one with UNK you will be glad you did 1 omg this is incredible my husband and were very reluctant about reading via electronic reader but one day decided to order it and try it omg it is so incredible all the features it has the size of it just the whole thing is incredible so many people have talk to that have other ereaders regret not having the kindle love it you have to try it 1 everything as promised ve had my kindle the 3g and wi fi model for just over days and it is everything that it was promised to be still learning all the little details but what fantastic investment recommend the kindle to anyone 1 useful device this is my first book reader have big library on my computer but never read for the uncomfortable to my eyes the kindle is nice useful device in love with it UNK got now big library in little space and friendly for my eyes great advance technology pro UNK also the wi fi and the kindle shop is very nice really practice 1 loved my kindle UNK my kindle only UNK on september let me say love it ve bought lot of books reading is easier and faster the screen is awsome the charge battery hold out 30 days in my case it had held out 20 days because the sync and downloads you can download first chapter as sample of any book UNK at kindle store recommend it 1 kindle ordered kindle for my wife because she is serial reader she reads one book about every three days and can wait to get to the next one she makes notes on everything and uses the dictionary constantly so thought the kindle would fit the bill it does she is happy and so am decided to get the kindle 3g because take mine on the road and it works flawlessly the only thing that wish worked better is the search capability it is very cumbersome and slow this is my only complaint it just seems that this could be better accomplished on the same platform perhaps with future releases this could be fixed that being said the kindle is perfect for those who like to read 1 awesome purchased the latest version kindle about weeks ago just prior to short trip am completely hooked it so easy to slip into my purse and is great to use when have few minutes waiting for an appointment over lunch at work and before falling asleep at night ve begun taking my kindle everywhere 1 dealing with pdf table of contents reading UNK and UNK getting free newspaper first of all this product UNK increases your desire to read if you intend to limit your use to the kindle store books then you ll have all promised features enabled however if you want to read your own pdf files some UNK UNK the major problem you can choose the size of your text as well as the number of words per line just like you would with an original azw book solution you can zoom on the part you want to read but it not recommended because it will drastically decrease your reading speed solution if the original font size of your pdf file is large enough then you re lucky and you can read the page in portrait mode it does look fine solution if the original font size of your pdf file is too small portrait mode is not an option anymore thus you ll have to rotate your screen which is fairly fast and easy it will reduce the UNK of your page but since moving up and down on pdf file is faster than switching between pages it won be really inconvenient solution will double the size of the text regarding solution if the font size of your file is still too small which isn very likely to happen unless you have sight problems then have no solution to offer because haven experienced this issue yet edit finally experienced this issue while browsing wikipedia reading in portrait mode was way too small so switched in landscape mode and it was still too small thus had to zoom in on the specific region wanted to read which wasn that bad actually but not very convenient either another problem the lack of table of content with pdf files table of content are convenient because they enable the reader to quickly get to the intended chapter thus if you re looking for particular passage on your kindle you have two options either you have to go through the whole book or you know the page you re looking for and you can enter it directly in the go to section ve read that it possible to edit pdf files to create UNK but haven had time to try it yet however will figure it out and hopefully ll post it here if remember to edit figure it out the best way is to find book in the html format then you just have to put each chapter title between specific tag that you keep constant throughout the book for each chapter after that you convert your book into the mobi format using calibre in the table of content category indicate which tag you ve used to define your chapters and the UNK will be automatically created actually you can also UNK use the search function to find passage you re looking for some advice for novels avoid the pdf format if you can for the UNK or UNK reader reading your favorite UNK or UNK is definitely possible on the kindle best results can be obtained using solution and of the 4th paragraph pleasant surprise was the availability of free news sources there are UNK such as calibre that download rss feeds of news websites in other words you can get some of the most UNK newspaper for free and quickly on your kindle finally putting your kindle in sleep mode displays random screensavers on the screen but heard that you can modify the settings to display your own pictures which sounds quite awesome UNK kindle firmware is not legal though so won develop this point any further even though the kindle in its latest version does have web browser it is not web browsing device don even think about buying kindle to go to facebook kindle is for interested readers and it will enable you to read for hours without getting eyes strain if you re looking for compact reading device that looks slim neat and simple and that is fast efficient and powerful can only recommend you to get the kindle 1 kindle love it whenever traveled used to pack several books in my suitcase it gets heavy depending on how long will be gone now just came back from trip and all had was my kindle even the flight UNK said she could read it from where she was standing bigger font did have couple of questions and customer service was fantastic so far don have any complaints 1 the best is now even better this is my second kindle originally had the kindle which UNK but somehow they were able to make this one even better first the display is incredible now the sharper contrast coupled with the pearl display makes for really eye UNK text it even more noticeable on the graphite kindle because something about having black border the frame of the unit itself really makes the text stand out that much more second the size of the kindle is unbelievable all around now they UNK off some of the UNK size of the frame and were able to make this one even lighter than the kindle it so light that it almost feels like you re not holding something actually keep it in the official amazon cover just to give it little more heft all around the kindle is much faster than previous versions from the page turns to just navigating the menu everything is noticeably quicker the big question though is whether to get the wifi only version or the wifi and 3g version for me the choice was obvious don do lot of traveling and most of the places that do go already has wifi built in it seemed UNK in my case to spend an extra 40 for feature that really don need basically if you have wifi in your home you could probably save yourself some money and go with the wifi only version if you re business UNK or are out on the road lot then you may want to spring for the 3g version overall though the kindle is one of the best things ve ever bought period ve been reading so much more than used to in my UNK days ve actually read more just in this year alone than have in the previous years combined if you enjoy reading you really UNK it to yourself to at least spend 139 on kindle it not that much money and the joy that it brings you alone will make it worth the price 1 kindle great buy had been looking at readers for almost year and finally bought the kindle when the price came down to 139 00 now priced the same as other readers love it and my 13 yr old granddaughter UNK it for two weeks and read books say great job she will be getting her own for the holidays 0 we want epub was going to leave star review for my kindle just last week but that was before today let me explain was given kindle as gift know this is the 3rd generation page but my one gripe UNK to both and the things like apply to both had not liked the idea of readers because like the feel of book in my hand being able to share it with others and didn think the idea of reading on screen sounded appealing got my kindle and was thrilled to find that it wasn hard on your eyes at all it is just like reading off of page thanks to the ink it works in the sun which is great because half the time read am outside was given this as gift because am currently overseas in UNK when came here started reading more books again and then was given my kindle which was great since no longer had to order and carry around books they all fit on my little kindle that can take wherever go we were in love the kindle came out and they made the small adjustments that would make it even better but then today visited my library website at home and saw that they now had an book library was excited so far had mostly read books on my kindle that were in the public domain because still didn like the idea of paying 10 for book that once done reading probably won want to read again but also won be able to pass it on to someone else but as looked into it found that the books my library has are all in epub format which right now the kindle doesn support don understand why there has to be format war with books now too sure it makes whole lot of difference in dollars and cents for amazon to have their own formats but no matter what they ll still have the largest UNK of books the publishers set the prices for the books and now there are book libraries so why can the readers just get along if the kindle adds support for epub it gets stars and there are book libraries that use the mobi format which apparently would work on the kindle but unfortunately mine only has epub 1 bought by italy kindle is fantastic and fast shipment english bought the kindle as gift for friend but it is so beautiful that kept for me it the best book reader you can buy books in english of course from amazon with click at great price and its wireless connection is excellent recommend kindle to all the italian people for themselves or to do wonderful gift UNK lot amazon italian UNK UNK il kindle per fare un UNK ad un UNK UNK egrave UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK per me il UNK book reader si UNK UNK UNK UNK in UNK UNK amazon con un click un UNK UNK la UNK UNK wireless egrave UNK kindle lo UNK UNK le UNK UNK per se UNK per fare un UNK UNK UNK amazon 1 kindle 3g is big winner recently purchased and received the kindle 3g wireless reader and must say that love it even more than thought would it seemed almost like magic when received my first book in such short download time so far there is nothing dislike about it am serious about my reading and would not hesitate to say if it fell short of my expectations am highly recommending it to my friends and have even made it the subject of two recent book reviews for my two book clubs thank you thank you thank you to amazon for the best product ve owned in years 1 simply elegant reading was very delighted at the beauty and simplicity of this item am used to holding good book but this UNK your entire focus on just reading and it allows you to read the material at much faster pace while thoroughly enjoying the feel of the future was hesitant to give up my hard covers and paperbacks but this has really UNK everything up for me in UNK love it 1 keeps getting better yet still room for improvement the kindle brings really unique UNK one you maybe have to try before you believe in it didn get it at first but have to admit the same was true of the early ipods UNK it as follows screen that reads like book battery life so long you can UNK it immediate UNK access from anywhere of course it not perfect or wasn at first the screen is monochrome only and slow to refresh the interface somewhat clunky battery life isn truly UNK and network access worked only in the us but they ve improved this to the point that the screen refresh is fast enough the interface is good enough and it works UNK the 3rd generation kindle has really UNK what amazon set out to do being an affordable UNK useful reader the first generation UNK the feature set at high price the second generation brought down the price improved the most important part screen readability and refresh rate and eventually added UNK whispernet the third generation further improved the screen readability and refresh rate adds the option of UNK light and includes nearly ok web browser let me UNK on the good bits somewhat the screen really does look like book it fully legible indoors or outdoors even in direct sunlight at worst it slightly glossy and might reflect small amount of glare into your eyes but no worse than glossy magazine the battery life is like no other electronic device ve ever used mostly because the screen UNK no power except when changing this means that unlike your phone laptop or ipad it not using power while you read page only when you turn the page with the wireless radio off it lasts me several books or several weeks if leave the radio off can pretty much UNK it doesn need charging now some laptops now have 12 hour batteries smartphones have batteries that last for days on standby and 10 hours of actual use and the ipad probably gets something like 12 hours on charge in typical use all of this is impressive and beats the heck out of laptops from few years ago but still none of this compares to the kindle UNK free whispernet network access over the cell network automatically UNK and paid by amazon is another one of these things that you have to try to really appreciate the promise is basically UNK you can shop for new books at amazon store UNK wide range of options from impulse buying new books re downloading books you ve purchased before and automatically UNK subscriptions but really these are all cases of connecting directly to amazon to get stuff you pay extra for and somewhat more surprisingly browsing the real web prior to the kindle the UNK web browser was so bad it almost seemed like they didn want you to use it but the webkit based browser in kindle gives this the lie and again the fact this is free and requires no additional configuration UNK is pretty amazing especially if you travel internationally if you travel internationally and want access to the internet while away from wi fi hotspot your options are basically activate UNK UNK plan on your home country smartphone and pay through the nose for UNK or buy local UNK and pay for data usually this is cheaper but it hassle especially if you don speak the local language true the browser still isn perfect and double true lot of web content doesn work very well on small monochrome screen with clumsy UNK device still ve been able to make productive use of wikipedia facebook twitter yahoo mail and gmail google news and various other sites for free from rural UNK without jumping through UNK card UNK don know any other device that offers this at all and the kindle has it pretty much as an UNK while mostly talking about the kindle hardware here or amazon initial vision hardware software and content seamlessly combined ll also note that amazon has free kindle app basically software version of the kindle for pretty much any platform that matters smartphone or tablet running ios or android computer running windows or mac os so if you want to bring your own device and connectivity you can get at your kindle content you re not locked into the kindle devices if you don like the hardware or just don want to buy another device so what not to like really things needing to UNK all your books and UNK rendered content on needing to UNK all your books ok so music as files has pretty much replaced music as shiny UNK especially for listening the ipod did to UNK what the kindle wants to do to books but how did this happen remember apple rip UNK burn ads the early ipods were like the kindle expensive yet sleek UNK that could carry an entire library which you could buy few dollars at time but substantial library would quickly UNK the cost of the device but apple and the non apple competition had trick up their sleeve the rip part you didn need to UNK your whole library you could easily convert your existing library stuff it on your ipod or other mp3 player and UNK instant digital library for new purchases you could buy as online files for convenience or cd for flexibility and quality and continue converting these UNK to the digital library format concerns about UNK aside the value of the portable music playing hardware was clear to music UNK and music buyers UNK and now there are quite few viable stores for music in download only form UNK back to the kindle the UNK is clear and the same possibility does not exist you can move your existing library of books onto the kindle anything you want you have to buy again moreover for new UNK you have to choose between paper and digital you can have it both ways think this is real UNK for the overall value UNK and part of why readers won be as UNK as music players yeah yeah and more people listen to music than read that surely another part but if you can convert your own paper books to kindle format what of the books and publications which ll refer by the UNK but standard term content that you can buy from amazon it convenient not that expensive so just suck it up right well this is where my main real UNK with the kindle UNK comes in the paid content is just not that high quality you wouldn mind if it was cheap but once you have to pay for it especially if you have to pay again for something you already own in another format it UNK really annoying when it not perfect and it not typos and small formatting errors UNK or missing line breaks UNK UNK between words like this are often not set off by spaces like this which not only looks bad but UNK the UNK UNK leading to even more ugly white spaces what it UNK down to is this you think it would be the easiest thing in the world for amazon to get UNK digital copies of whatever UNK they can UNK in the most up to date edition available more on this in minute convert it to their format hey maybe even pay someone to UNK it once more and that what you get but it looks to me like they re manually scanning and UNK UNK paper books just like you have to if you set up your own paper ebook version of the rip from the music world UNK additional errors not UNK them selling you buggy content and not fixing it up later either this is really disappointing what really disappointing about this is that it UNK out on one of the biggest promises of the format the books are just data and amazon has the infrastructure in place to manage and UNK and UNK this data so unlike paper book which you try to get right the first time but which can be changed after printing short of UNK the whole thing an ebook could UNK over time think of how UNK especially wikipedia can improve over time especially with UNK so there no UNK and the only changes are for the better this is what see as the UNK promise of kindle content be somewhat happy if could just fix the errors myself on my own device so they wouldn be UNK the kindle has always had features for UNK content so why not let me edit it too be even happier if my UNK were UNK back to amazon so they could fix the errors in the source version and the next person to download the same book gets better edition be UNK if this was all automatic and any UNK would be fixed in the source the first time someone fixed it anywhere and all downloaded versions would be updated automatically as soon as the source version changed this is all within the UNK of possibility UNK the editing just as with the good UNK UNK only few people ever need to see given UNK message and mark it as UNK and then nobody else at that provider ever sees that UNK only few people ever need to see given UNK or formatting error in kindle content and then it fixed for everyone as an aside in addition to stuff ve bought from amazon also use my kindle to read some books from project gutenberg which download and convert using calibre this content is as rule even worse in terms of typos and ugly formatting still have the ability to fix it for myself or even UNK the changes back to project gutenberg for future editions the UNK is clunky both for initial download conversion and for changing and UNK changes back but it possible amazon closed UNK could make this seamless special mention here for subscription content which is even more expensive than books and in my limited sampling even UNK continue to subscribe to national magazine like even though UNK section usually UNK entire questions making the next answer complete non UNK stopped subscribing to my local newspaper after noticing that most articles UNK the UNK which also should and in the print and free web edition does contain the place this isn so bad for local news but for UNK news often rendered entire stories unreadable if supposed to pay several dollars month for something can get free on the web and the free version is to boot better formatted this is not cool at all while continue to like the overall kindle reading experience and especially appreciate the ability to check wikipedia facebook or my email for free from anywhere really frustrated about the buggy paid content not UNK the UNK managed UNK UNK fixing possibility is especially frustrating to my UNK UNK UNK do love it but it not perfect enough to UNK stars oh and don get me started on the keyboard double UNK the size of the keyboard on blackberry or UNK but the layout is UNK the UNK feel feedback is UNK even after years of using it still UNK the UNK for delete and enter and if type faster than UNK it drops keystrokes 1 la mejor compra que he UNK UNK from spain and give my opinion for spanish el kindle es la mejor UNK oacute de ebook que he UNK el UNK iacute espa ntilde es UNK aacute pido UNK aacute aacute pido que si UNK UNK desde UNK iacute UNK el producto es UNK UNK un 10 por amazon su UNK 1 because of kindle went from an occasional reader to an avid reader bought second generation kindle back in january 2010 with money my kids gave me for my birthday was never much of reader in fact only read when had to but like technology and gadgets so thought

kindle am so pleased with the convenience and ease of use as soon as the the new kindle 3rd generation came out had to get it gave my old kindle to my daughter who is also and UNK reader so she can enjoy the kindle it is great to have my current book selection ready for me to read any time want the storage UNK long battery life and easy functionality of the kindle make it must have for any one who enjoys UNK up with good book 1 kindle UNK my love of reading ve had my kindle 3g wifi for about weeks now think and have really been enjoying using it was so impressed bought my wife one as well and she is getting into using hers too really enjoy the ease of use it very simple to use my wife uses hers in landscape mode with slightly larger font size than use but it works for her happy with reading in portrait style and find the buttons easy to use navigation around the menu system is easy and self UNK imagine the most technically challenged would have little difficulty using kindle also bought the case with built in light and my kindle lives in the case UNK and the light is excellent for late night reading in bed without disturbing my wife well any more than usual any way lol the case is very well made well designed and very pleased bought it overall can thoroughly recommend the kindle to anyone looking for really good ereader looked at the barnes UNK nook the kobo and couple of sony readers before making the purchase and very pleased with my choice buying ebooks is breeze through amazon and downloading sample to try first is really great idea have done that several times and have ended up buying ebooks because of that facility well done amazon for the great reader experience your company provides through the kindle store buy kindle you won be disappointed 1 good reading bought kindle but was some UNK for the display quality now ve changed opinion and use kindle in UNK novel reading thanks to amazon UNK UNK 1 love this am really enjoying the kindle it is easy quick to turn on and change the font size my reason for buying an reader is because can see the books at night even with my glasses but with the reader just enlarge the font and UNK also have friends with different types and they seem to take bit to turn on the kindle comes right up for quick few pages whenever want 1 the most important purchase ve made in years ve completely enjoyed my kindle besides my netbook it is my most UNK UNK use it everyday am reading lot more and actually enjoying it can wait to take in on vacation fantastic product 1 amazing recently got the kindle 3g for my birthday shortly after my husband went into the hospital and would sit beside UNK for 15 to 18 hrs day the kindle was great could read in any light and if my eyes tired could make the font bigger so could read easier if finished book could purchase another one right from the kindle some books are free and some for very small price 0 kindle wireless reader while traveling in UNK was in the middle of book and suddenly it said that it could no longer open an that should re download it from my archives when got to wireless connection tried to re download it and it kept saying that it was not successful the connection was very good tried to re purchase the book but it UNK not let me as had already purchased it now am left in UNK with no book never had such problem with my sony ereader if they are going to have all this wireless stuff it should work to say that am UNK is an understatement 0 defective have k2 that is two years old ve never had any problems with it decided to UNK the bullet and purchase the k3 was so excited when returned home from trip to find my new k3 waiting for me within two days it developed black UNK across the middle of the screen was so disappointed that returned the device and the cover for refund ve decided to keep my kindle until it dies when my kindle dies will decide what reading device will buy next 1 2nd go round this is my second kindle love it that is why had to get new one when UNK hair UNK all into my old one the new one is easier to read and has more conveniently placed buttons 1 why did wait so long ve been UNK the kindle for few years now ever since the first gen came out but the price was always bit too UNK for me when heard about the k3 being only 139 decided this was sign that it was time for me to just do it am so glad did absolutely love my kindle when first got it figured that would probably not get many of the free books just because they didn seem like my type of books fast forward month and now have 10 free book and paid books at first figured they re free so what the heck but now reading books never would have read otherwise by authors that ve never heard of and enjoying it also with the kindle being so light just toss it in my purse every morning in it protective sleeve and can pick up my book at any time read at lunch when waiting in line or basically whenever can get the chance now it used to take me forever to read book because it was always hassle to make space in my bag and then the stupid bookmark would fall out or forget it in my car the only regret have is that waited so long if you re on the fence like was do it already promise that you won be disappointed 1 kindle love the kindle it is very easy way to carry lots of books with me it is very easy to read and can change the font so don even need to wear my glasses 1 improvement UNK le type de UNK UNK eacute eacute UNK mon kindle par UNK UNK UNK eacute eacute UNK eacute UNK de google UNK de UNK la UNK UNK eacute UNK UNK UNK est 150

UNK 1 kindle bought my kindle month ago and find it better than expected above all the reading experience is great it much better than reading from computer screen the kindle is great bargain for the money 1 amazing the kindle is an amazing piece of equipment it took only few minutes to become comfortable with the operation of it with wifi it takes seconds to order and receive books had expected much longer learning curve the font size options will help these old eyes and will read more and faster amazon makes it simple thanks UNK 1 love my kindle my hubby bought me kindle for my birthday and love it it really portable and easy to use love using it to read in bed because don have to worry about laying on my side and not being able to see the other page without holding the book up or UNK myself up on my UNK also got he leather lighted cover and totally recommend it it keeps it safe and looks so stylish and UNK too 1 customer service this was gift for my daughter so could share all of my books with her have 2nd gen had pre ordered this in aug and received it before promised after she read it for while it started rebooting and freezing up could get it to work but it would freeze again finally tried to send it back after printing the mailing label got an email from cs asking me to contact them so they could UNK the device when called was never on hold and was quickly talking to very nice helpful rep she had me do several things to set it back to factory settings when was trying to do the last thing she asked it rebooted itself again so she said we re done send it back and ll send you another you ll have it tomorrow the new one was here when promised after reading other reviews was afraid would get the run around from cs was pleasantly surprised comparing it to my 2nd gen ve noticed it has much better contrast resolution the page turns are UNK quicker it feels better in my hands and like having page back button on the right side too don like having the on off switch on the bottom sometimes hit the page turn button when trying to turn it off but that just me think like the page turn buttons better they push in towards the middle instead of UNK think there is less chance of turning page by mistake on the the new ones are half the size of the old ones though also don like that you have to push the menu button to see the battery life and to see if wi fi is on or not like it on my old one that it there all the time when you re reading so you can monitor the battery all in all if had extra money laying around buy another kindle for me 1 kindle lover got kindle from my wonderful UNK as birthday gift best present ever love that you can get free books books for less than buying bound book and pre ordering books great for anyone who likes reading 1 kindle the kindle is good device the only thing that UNK my UNK is that the screen is not back lit to allow for reading in low or no light conditions 1 my kindle give my kindle stars really like the way it feels in my hands it is very easy to turn the pages with either thumb the font sizing functions allow me to get the size just right when begin reading the font size is small but as read for while my eyes get tired and make the font size larger the books on amazon are very comprehensive many free the downloads are extremely quick love the sample feature know after the sample if going to like it or not the only drawback is the page numbering system used by the kindle it is very hard to find an exact page from the book understand that with the different font sizing if the page numbers were visible on only the smallest font size at least could find something that was looking for faster 1 simply the best way controller is just superior to touch screens couldn be happier with my kindle purchased another ereader prior to this and had to return it it drove me nuts as opposed to the kindle it had touch screen not only could not read thing outside found the touch screen UNK to say the least would spent minutes just trying to get back to were was because the touch screen would jump to areas had no intention of going too the kindle way controller is just superior to touch screens and find navigating this way much easier also preferred the ease of being able to make my purchases via amazon and have them back up and store all my books automatically have yet been unable to find anything dislike about my new kindle this is my first ereader and kindle is definitely the way to go thanks amazon it winner all around 1 very happy my one and only problem with the kindle was that when got it several letters on my keyboard had faded making it look like it was years old instead of brand new called amazon to see if they could tell me if they could give me something that would protect the letters from fading any more instead they offered me new kindle and would even pay to have the kindle have now sent back to them with the kindle itself love it had the chapters kobo for while because wanted no UNK no fuss ereader there is no comparison the kindle is sleeker faster and despite the fact that it doesn support epub far superior device one draw back is no sd slot but with the ability of holding over 3000 books who needs one yes person could buy and read 3000 books but would they want to keep all those books have books where have read the first few chapters and deleted it but also have books that plan to keep forever don store my audiobooks on my kindle because have an ipod for that but for those of you who do can see how the limited space would be annoying it an easy device to use ve let my mother use mine and she had no problem with and she well let just say she UNK UNK 1 kindle graphite 3g review ve read quite lot on both the previous kindles and thought that this price point and tech are mature enough for me to dive right in also thanks to my library can say that feel UNK to write mini review on this device and compare it to its predecessors since ve been switching using k1 and k2 expect me to refer quite frequently to kindle where think it has an advantage over the others got as amazon likes to call it kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi display graphite 3g works globally latest generation or as we over here call it kindle graphite 3g ll skip going over the usual stuff that is covered in professional reviews since this is meant to be guide info from the point of view of user reading on his device and not paid tech reviewing it like another electronic device comparing the screen with the first two just returned my k1 yesterday this screen is white mean it like totally UNK many of you might UNK that it isnt really white but on black UNK device this screen background is pretty white to me the text is UNK dark almost as black as my laptop but not there yet in short it really dark version of grey overall believe that this is the perfect contrast needed to read the black casing might have some UNK in this although am not UNK enough to comment on that next comes the interface found it annoying that the number pad has gone equally annoying was the key missing as well it was there on the k1 on the navigation front say amazon shot themselves in the foot by replacing the way joystick with UNK style pad don consider myself to have large fingers UNK size american if that helps you get an idea how large my fingers might be but accidently hit the wrong buttons quite few times in the hours ve had this device the page turn buttons are now way quieter as compared to the kindle they wrap around the edge of the device and have UNK kind of way of UNK still liked the kindle right side full length next page button although k3 has layout quite similar to the nook ie it UNK now the usual page turns are pretty fast made UNK earlier this evening UNK page turn times reducing from say 80 seconds to UNK seconds is hardly going to be noticeable it not bad thing though basically unless you re from kindle the UNK are not noticeably faster the web browser is pretty UNK up but you re still best off using it for basic UNK light news reading think that brings my thoughts to full UNK and oh yes there is just one minor UNK that UNK my mind right when opened the box the graphite kindle still comes with the same old boring white charger which frankly in my opinion as an overall package looks not well thought mean it not big deal but when you open package this just slightly breaks the magical experience UNK also like to add that it exactly 19 days since it arrived the UNK have started to fade away quick search on forums UNK that it only the graphite kindle problems so you might want to keep that in mind when getting kindle 1 kindle wi fi latest generation love my kindle it my first reader it so comfortable to hold and easy to turn the page have trouble reading some print and being able to change the size or type of font is huge bonus 1 kindle UNK tired of lugging book around on trips decided to try the new kindle admittedly was little UNK being an old UNK real print means lot to me the touch and feel of book magazine newspaper has always been important until now the screen is amazing easy to read easy to change fonts to suit the product sits well in your hand becomes second nature in just minutes ve UNK with free books converted other formats and generally played with the features and find few complaints especially given the price the keyboard is UNK but surely not to the thumb typing texting generation taking it to the UNK for couple of weeks that should provide for full assessment 1 excellent reading device pros bought one already for my kids and found it an excellent reading device both of my kids 10 and 11 like it very much and they need to wait for their turns to read so order second one 3g coverage is excellent in UNK UNK you can really start to read in less than minute after buying book font size and orientation adjustment is easy to understand and set contrast of text is excellent too think about ipad too but it would just turn out to be another UNK for the kids cons when you try to read downloaded personal pdf file it seems to be difficult in adjusting the text picture size so not good for reading if the original file is pdf if you converted the pdf file to kindle format the picture UNK and the pictures seems not UNK web browser is just UNK satisfactory for checking and sending UNK mail better use website for mobile because it loads faster don know why just cannot type UNK password in gmail website for mobile yahoo mail is ok UNK what can you ask for more if such service is just for free around the world keypad handling is good for such small device but typing of symbols and numbers are difficult 1 awesome love it what can say but thank you kindle love to read several books at once but my wife says have way to many books laying around so UNK the kindle 3g wireless reading device literally UNK it plugged it in and within two minutes had already down loaded book wanted and preview of another if your looking for reading device kindle is the only way to go any other reading device will let you down promise you won be sorry 1 love my kindle absolutely love my kindle received it last christmas as gift my advise is to let the person that is going to have the UNK set everything up one book purchased at christmas is in UNK and cannot be stored has to remain on my devise or loose it this is my husband set it up and when switched to me the book would not transfer that was purchased that however is my only complaint love the devise it is so nice when you are reading something and you get to word that you are UNK with you can look up def on devise right then also love portability of the devise so easy to carry with you have multiple books downloaded fits in purse nicely so happy to have my kindle 1 don leave home without it this is by far the best thing since UNK UNK and UNK can tear myself away from it love it but UNK trouble deciding what books want to read next highly recommend will UNK be getting the 3g next spend the extra money especially where wifi is hard to get it is worth every dime to the avid reader 1 gift for my husband bought this for my husband and he loves it he reads every day and has found this to be so convenient he UNK why he didn want one sooner and good news for amazon he does show and tell to everyone who will listen to him and has probably sold dozens for them this is his first one but when compared to previous models shown to us by friends this has much better resolution 1 love the kindle the kindle is amazing was UNK at how fast the downloads were and that was already registered and ready to go because of my amazon account it has so many features for reading and editing and the wi fi feature is such great help you can access many websites it like have tiny computer at your fingertips the only semi negative comments are the keyboard is hard to see because the keys are dark and the background is the same color and when typing on the keyboard it little UNK weight wise best to lay it on flat surface when typing highly recommend this purchase and it would make great gift for traveler or person who needs books and documents at their fingertips 1 awesome my boyfriend bought me the newest kindle for an early christmas present it has officially reduced my UNK level to zero but it amazing ve only had it for about week but here are my observations so far screen contrast is great page turn is crazy fast much faster than the nook which was also considering some people have said it feels UNK and UNK and agree but with any device like this you should buy case my lighted case should be here tomorrow and that will make this product as portable as it was meant to be the usability is great no the web browser isn the greatest web browser in the world but it works and is fast also the menus are clear and the way controller is easy to use typing is simple and easy some reviews have said that the buttons are hard to use but don find that to be the case at all charged it to full when got it and the little battery indicator hasn moved at all ve read books and lot of pdfs speaking of pdfs just plugged my kindle into my computer and copied my pdfs over they read great no weird formatting issues and some of them were word documents that had converted and some were copied off the internet into word documents and then made into pdfs and all looked fine as mentioned almost got nook my best friend has one and loves it but it heavier and the touch screen is really difficult to use it not as much like reading book as the kindle is which is something really like about the kindle just think the screensavers are cool got the wifi only kindle but haven gone anywhere yet where needed 3g and it was problem also the wifi is easy to connect and really fast 10 overall really love my kindle it attractive easy to use has lot of interesting features and for the price even with the price of cover and the UNK of books sure ll buy it still great deal don plan on replacing books totally with the kindle but will definitely cut down on some of the bulk have 1 love the kindle purchased kindle for my husband grandson both absolutely loved them the kindle is so much easier on your eyes have all positive things to say can think of anything negative 1 just one word awesome for reading ebooks this is my very first item which ordered from amazon it only took just days to arrive to UNK UNK from amazon that amazing and pretty fast when opened the box and saw the kindle and was like wow this is very thin and light booted the kindle device and read the manual background and text are very crisp and it is totally look like paper except that it is little bit hard to read in dim light then import my pdfs into kindle device and reading every day before import pdfs used mobipocket software to convert all of my pdf into prc format if you re ebook addicted like me you should go for it with no regret 1 UNK UNK love my kindle it is easy to travel with easy to order books on the wi fi love the text size options the only thing would change is to have number pad instead of having them in with symbols other then that am so glad got one this will seriously help me with my online classes 1 in love had been using UNK previously and upgraded to the latest generation kindle have read more in the few weeks of having my kindle than the entire time with the UNK the screen is easy on the eyes and actually looks like words on piece of paper the 3g works perfectly the only problem is spending lot more money on books now because they are so easy to download 1 UNK rock bought the kindle for my wife and she loves it can get her to put it down when she finds good book also since have seen how much she loves it am thinking about purchase other for myself to store reference books on 1 love my kindle love my kindle bought it for myself for my birthday and it one of the best gifts ve ever given myself downloaded the bible so that could use it at church have carpal tunnel and found holding regular bible caused pain in my wrist holding the kindle causes no problems and being able to change the font size is so helpful 1 nifty gadget just love my wi fi kindle 3g best book ever bought UNK it up with skin from UNK for personalized unique look this gadget has without doubt my UNK of UNK 1 kindle wireless very good books ordered arrive fast and the kindle is so light one draw back concerns the pdf files downloaded from my computer the fonts are small tried to make the text bigger by following the manual but did not UNK either in portrait or UNK zooming once in actual size makes the page too big for the screen besides pdf reading texts in kindle format is pleasure and enjoy this reader 1 why the different prices UNK am delighted with my kindle but have just one gripe as live in UNK had to buy the kindle from the states so it cost me more than in UNK also the books are lot cheaper on the amazon co uk site than the amazon com site which seems UNK to me my UNK who lives in UNK is not able to buy books for me as she wanted to for my UNK present surely amazon are losing custom by not allowing people from no matter where to purchase kindles and books from whichever country they want 1 the best reader just got better UNK put off upgrading to the new kindle as long as possible but broke down and got it few things noticed different from the k2 other than the smaller size the screen has much better contrast not to say the old kindle was bad but did notice an improvement second the page turns are much faster in fact they are UNK near instant also noticed that when the 3g is turned on it displays which mode it in 3g or edge welcome this change since like to see how fast the connection is ok now onto the size couldn believe how small the k3 is amazon UNK some plastic from around the screen made the buttons smaller and made page forward back for both sides can comment on the back as the kindle went directly into case also can comment on the wi fi since it doubtful ll ever even turn it on bottom line if you want the best reader around grab the new kindle recommend the 3g one for 50 more for sheer convenience as UNK as wi fi is it isn everywhere also get this over the ipad for comparable ipad it would cost UNK 15 monthly charge just UNK 0 not happy loved the size of the unit and the capabilities but was extremely not happy with not having backlight on the kindle noticed could not locate the button so contacted amazon customer service and she stated there was not light since love to read at night alone in corner returned the kindle and purchased an ipad huge dollar amount difference but want what want if when backlight is placed on the kindle not separate item probably will purchase another one just for the size 1 definately five star product bought 3rd generation kindle and was so pleased with it purchased second one less than two weeks later for my mom we have UNK over who loves their kindle more it UNK 1 why they have to move change the buttons it great little device but did it really need to be smaller did the buttons need to be smaller and closer together so man with man hands has to take his eyes off the page to find the right one can pick this thing up without turning page the little joystick worked perfectly this box UNK pointed is made for small hands and even then you can feel your way to it anyway love my old kindle the second generation and will use it far more than ll use the new one 1 love it love to read and go through books quickly so like that there are tons of free and or really cheap books out there if you look for them and love the option of sampling books before buying got my kindle3 the other day and can put this thing down do wish could change the screen saver that comes up instead of it just choosing random images that don like but really that is my only complaint so far note about supported file formats if there is book you want and can find in the amazon store or in the correct format there are programs like calibre that convert files so that they are compatible with the kindle 1 kindle 3g wifi really love my kindle 3g wifi first the page turning buttons are finally all in the right spots this became very important and apparent the first time held the kindle in my hands the new size makes it just about perfect for my hands the graphite color works better for my eyes than did the UNK or UNK of the previous generations of kindle this contrast seems to ease my reading perhaps there something about the sharp UNK between the screen and the case that UNK in this the newer technology in the screen makes it faster and more UNK and my eyes like this as well quite bit so for things don like so much well there that power switch for right handed person picking up the kindle believe the UNK place for slider type power switch is the top right of the unit still trying to train my thumb to the location of the slider and honestly not having great deal of success this probably has something to do with the fact that while the slider switch is relatively large there not much for the thumb to really grasp this certainly isn show UNK though reading more than ever on my new kindle 3g wifi think you would too 1 an UNK positive experience with few UNK spots overall five stars for the kindle three stars for the kindle store the general hardware the kindle doesn feel cheap but it doesn feel sturdy either suppose this helps amazon sell more cases but really prefer it felt little UNK in my hands the balance of the thing feels slightly off it just doesn feel quite properly UNK the screen the screen is phenomenal and almost perfect the only trouble is that it more glossy than true piece of book paper making viewing angles sometimes tricky especially with my lamp and my light UNK on at the same time one more issue that may be software related or may be screen related is the whole thing going UNK contrast when you turn page amazon stated UNK regarding the kindle is to make the device disappear when you re reading the contrast flip background to black test to white then UNK on page turns doesn do much for this actually that one of only two places they fail when reading the controls the buttons have lot of UNK in them like this for the most part as it results in very few UNK keystrokes have two issues with the controls though firstly the five way controller left right up down button is far too narrow particularly given the UNK of the device keyboard often reduced to turning my thumb and using my nail to use the up down keys without getting UNK select or menu back presses secondly and this regards the stated UNK of making the device disappear is the UNK of the click sound when pressing buttons generally read in near silent environment the turn of page of physical book is almost UNK under normal UNK the click of the spring on the page forward back buttons is like UNK in comparison it minor point really but UNK one like UNK one last thing the delete which is really UNK key is oddly placed didn find it for day and actually thought there wasn one at first the user experience UNK on the whole love it the page forward back buttons seemed counter intuitive at first kept pressing page forward on the left hand side when wanted to turn page back but that was really matter of adjustment after two days the placement is so natural that UNK at myself for having had an issue with it still having some trouble remembering when to use page forward back and when to use the five way controller left right buttons when navigating the device software that also question of UNK have no idea how they could improve this the biggest negative in the UNK is UNK with your books on the UNK UNK collecting and all the other things one can do with them is not very intuitive and still haven gotten handle on it the documentation is extensive thorough and well organized there only one question that have that isn answered clearly by the documentation and that what exactly the differences between sleep and powered off are extremely cool thing about the UNK if use the five way controller to navigate to word the kindle automatically opens up dictionary entry for that word this is beyond awesome the kindle store this is where it begins to fall down have several complaints about the kindle store as university student by far my largest UNK to the continued UNK of the publishing industry is in the form of textbook purchases have 15 credit hour UNK this term not single one of my textbooks is available on the kindle de UNK standard textbooks such as james UNK UNK and UNK UNK writer reference are nowhere to be found in the kindle store the computing industry press UNK microsoft press sam publishing has jumped in with both feet so suspect my future UNK will have textbooks available just not as many as would like after all the kindle weighs eight and half ounces my UNK book weighs six UNK know which one prefer to carry around another problem with the kindle store is that number of free books aren books at all just UNK from books and they re not indicated as such in the product description amazon really should prevent this make publishers use the preview function actually publish UNK where the publisher can UNK how much content they want to enable as preview would probably be good idea other thoughts few random comments that don go anywhere else is there an UNK available does it include an UNK does it cost more than the device itself can user add UNK document links to kindle book if not why not 1 UNK kindle UNK yo por comprarlo UNK la UNK es que me tengo que UNK el UNK UNK la UNK esta de amazon UNK UNK un producto de muy buena calidad una UNK oacute UNK UNK al precio una de las UNK UNK que he UNK en mi UNK estoy muy UNK de que un UNK as iacute no UNK si no que UNK UNK aacute la lectura 100 UNK 1 best purchase have purchased many electronic devices in the past by far the best device that have UNK in is the kindle reader cannot say enough about how easy it is to use and the UNK that it has opened for someone like me who enjoys reading look at it this way have UNK electronic pieces of information for actual paper thus have saved few trees and have done the environment favor plus did it for the children does that make me UNK or what back to the kindle it is user friendly cost effective and definitely something that recommend to anyone who is considering the purchase of an electronic reading device 1 k3 great product reading on kindle is very addictive in the last month ve red more books that in last year travel lot and can afford to take many books on me reading on laptop lcd screen sucks UNK one star on UNK of UNK books on amazon store 1 wow it great way to carry library it is really great love reading books with it and can keep books in different languages language dictionaries and games on it put some music on it too so can listen while read am now looking to download my daughter 9th grade textbooks to it it would be wonderful if she didn have to carry such heavy backpack 1 love it but had to be replaced happy ve had my kindle 3g about month and have 50 books installed when it started turning off and on and rebooting talked to customer service tried few things that didn work and they are sending me another kindle over night happy an electronics guy and know sometimes things just don work out but was really hoping there was some magic key UNK that would fix it it UNK on and off as type this still love my kindle and miss it already but do have the UNK installed on my laptop so can still read tonight since amazon keeps history of what you purchased even if free the names will show up in the new kindle archive click and the book is back on my kindle however the one non amazon book that of course doesn get backed up but it was free so ll just go get it again this does show me we all need to make copy of the kindle directory on another computer just for UNK especially if you have purchased content from somewhere other than amazon there are so many free books at amazon and that how started think there are thousands every once in awhile see something really have to have and will buy it just watch the file size because purchased book and found it to be very short and the file size was 20 UNK and sometimes it part one of three very good customer service edit received my replacement kindle and it works great amazon notified me they received the old one returned printed return label attached it to the box the replacement came in and dropped it in ups drop box returns couldn be easier just installed the new kindle update today and all is fine actually better this is the first thing ve returned to amazon all needed was little shipping tape 0 UNK worst thing ve ever purchased the screen is irritating the only thing that is positive about the machine is that it is more portable then your average books prefer to read regular books over computer generated screen that UNK my eyes and many others sure you it may not but its just killing your eyes just like computer screen we don need more screen based items the reason bought this item was for its purpose to test it out get familiar with it your typical book is better than this device rate the price being UNK think this should cost maybe 20 maximum if they really want to make more progress on such an item UNK UNK the UNK and UNK UNK for many people thanks UNK ll continue to purchase my standard books also there is no UNK detail to this its boring 1 why did wait so long to buy it it an excellent electronic reading device what it has lot of storage space cheap easy to use UNK reading or adding files you don have to read the instructions to actually use it it does not have incredible UNK UNK that don want and the battery is long lasting battery it month already and have not charged it since the first out of the box charge also it really works inside and outside kinda magic the way it looks the biggest surprise the built in dictionary honestly this is great thing for someone who is not native english speaker like me you scroll the cursor and there you have the short UNK for the term and if it not enough you can access the whole description extremely fast this is super mean recommend it for this too and didn know it was there when bought it space for improvement it not so comfortable to use if you are reading in the bed think it UNK for reading in sitting position which is ok but it just different way to place your hands on the device thought zooming in and out of images pdfs or increasing or UNK the font size would be possible but it not but it could also mean that have not learned how to use it yet why did wait so long to buy it it difficult to buy one when you have actually never seen or held one live in italy and was not able to physically see one even if have tried to before got mine out of the box took the risk because was assured that would get 100 refund 0 beware the pricing model beware publishers and or amazon using premium pricing model for people rich enough to buy kindle case in point is ken follett fall of giants which prices the kindle edition higher than the hardback edition why if you can afford kindle they can afford to UNK you this is very disappointing given the cost advantages to the publishers of not having to print the book and to amazon to not having to ship at least to those of us on amazon prime where amazon UNK the cost of shipping bought my kindle to save money on purchases not to pay premium 1 love my kindle the kindle is amazing exceeded my expectations love it the best thing is the availability so many books and the ease of reading 1 best reader ever this electronic reader is the best have seen so far it is easy to use and easy to read 1 kindle is great device the new kindle makes reading more pleasurable than ever before possible finding new functions all the time had no idea could enjoy reading this much again 1 this new experience UNK my day this is the first time use kindle it takes little time to understand and learn how to use it now this device helps solve many problems for me love reading but don feel like reading the same book every time so have to have few books with me when go outside or travel now don have to carry several books kindle in my purse does the job for me live in UNK and sometimes have to work late in the evening when want to read some good books that can help solve the problems am dealing with now just browse and order and have the books within five minutes instead of month when order from the us or until weekend to go to the UNK and find out whether they have the books that are relevant to my problems it is so wonderful to be able to get the book want UNK minutes at the middle of the night can see inside the book and read chapter before decide this is the book want or not cannot do this at the bookstore because foreign books are expensive and they have few copies so they cover them with plastic love books it is no risk to be able to read part of the book before buying it also love the screen can read kindle for hours and have almost the same feeling with reading books cannot do that with my laptop it has been only few weeks that own my kindle now the only thing left to prove is that whether the device is durable and still deliver the same satisfaction for long time will make that assessment few years later UNK 1 love my kindle purchased my kindle as my UNK present to me from me my granddaughter highly recommended that get kindle have been UNK mine for month and absolutely love it have been an UNK reader my whole life and do not leave home without book with my kindle do not need to take bag of books just toss my kindle in my purse and away go with bunch of books at my disposal have no UNK at all love my kindle 1 don miss holding book had been UNK with the idea of kindle for while now my dad has loved his for over year but kept UNK thinking would really miss the feeling of holding and touching book have had my kindle for about weeks now and let me tell you don miss holding book at all love the size keep it in my purse so that always have book to read if am early for picking up my kids just pull out my kindle waiting for anything just pull out my kindle getting books is so fast and easy if you are thinking about it but just haven pulled the trigger go for it you won be sorry 1 birthday present love to read and don really care about collecting the actual books so the kindle was perfect for me love that can connect anywhere to download new books or samples there are many free books to download so don feel like you have to go broke buying books for you library lovers and lot of them are fun read lot and even use the text to speech in the car while driving especially if its good book it sounds little like robot but hey can keep reading all in all love my kindle 1 good but could be better it great but what feel is really lacking is numeric keypad or some way of entering numbers without using the cumbersome sym button and way switch 1 the kindle is awesome love to read but hate all the books laying around the house the kindle is perfect don have to leave the house to get new book think the print size is perfect and it very easy to use what great buy 1 UNK kindle just went on mini vacation and used my kindle in the air and while waiting and with morning coffee have UNK UNK where my eyes are extremely dry and was no longer able to read books week now use UNK and have started reading again saw the kindle at target and realized the back light was very UNK so purchased one from amazon and find can read in comfort again don need to enlarge the print but just the brown on UNK has helped me get back to one of my favorite UNK reading 1 love waiting at the doctors office absolutely love my kindle and all the features it has dont mind waiting at the doctors office meeting friend who is late or anything else that gives me an extra few minutes to read my kindle love it so much perfect 1 the kindle UNK UNK never do it but obviously did bought the kindle like books but the library is UNK and have to start asking where to keep them all the kindle solves that and other problems nicely thought miss having the paper but must admit not so much the device performs well and pleased with it it goes with me everywhere also bought one for my dad he in UNK home now and the kindle is perfect for his use he can stay in touch with his favorite on line activities and buy books and read his favorite authors works the free wireless connectivity is great since he on fixed income it was major reason to get the kindle it easy enough to use and between the two of us we ve only gotten it to crash once when my dad downloaded file that locked it up no not sure what file it was we followed the reset instructions and it came back to life without and further trouble if you buy this do remember how to do hard reset just in case wouldn expect to need it but since the manual is on the device you ll want to have those instructions UNK ll be watching for upgrades as they UNK the line between reader and computer some obvious things should come about in the next generations including plug in keyboard some more functionality appointment UNK contact list to do list it seems to me to be an obvious UNK for device like this hopefully they can also work out ways to treat the material more like book somehow many books that buy get passed along to friends and family even if they all have kindle don think they allow it at least not to the extent paper copy can be passed along like to be able to take some of the paper copies own turn them in to be recycled and then own them in my kindle library not sure how that would work but it would reduce the space my library takes up and save few trees in summary very happy with my new kindle and would recommend it to anyone thanks amazon good job 1 about the charger plug just got my first kindle this the 139 one and as took it out of the box had my first flash of disappointment why oh why can the people who make these ultra portable devices recognize that we UNK them around the charger for this portable device doesn have fold down UNK so last UNK what were the product designers thinking were they don they carry portable devices that need recharging themselves this isn deal breaker but it is disappointment and may whoever UNK to this decision to save few UNK on the charger be UNK to having their charger UNK UNK damage and take up unnecessary room as they travel 1 great idea about to be spoiled the whole idea of electronic books sounded fantastic convenience virtually unlimited availability and having your library with you anytime however just recently books have begun to appear that actually cost more to UNK electronically than to get them as hardcovers how can the cost of an electronic transfer be higher than the printing costs for book while feel that the kindle is great product if can get my books cheaper in hardcover than electronically will be going back to real books 1 perfect for many reasons great ebook reader resolution is superb however this is my first ebook very light to hold never get tired of holding this up with one hand whereas even holding paperback my arm would tire also nice to have music on for when reading in UNK UNK internet browsing okay but neat feature ebook audible voice less than ideal due to reading numbers UNK into text as well as UNK not smooth but this is not likely why we got ereaders price is great 1 love my new k3 purchased my new k3 couple of weeks ago and gave me previous UNK to relative lucky them even though my UNK was great did want the graphite k3 with the better contrast have not been disappointed in any way ordering shipment moving of books to new kindle have all been excellent amazon customer service is the best they were very helpful to me in de registering my previous kindle and getting it re registered to my relative for their use never realized how the kindle would change my reading purchased alot of books before but now have UNK authors that would never have know about along with all of my favorite authors and can have everything at my UNK thanks amazon for great product keep up the good work UNK UNK 1 love it received this kindle for my birthday love it in UNK sight wish had chosen the one with 3g but it is still awesome have to download the books from my computer but once figured out how to do that it was breeze highly recommend absolutely love love love amazon com 0 amazon kindle am quite disappointed with my purchase ebooks are not available for most countries outside the united states even those free ebooks are not available for download my advice don buy kindle if you are not UNK in the united states 1 UNK tablet paper kindle the greatest advance in UNK the written word since paper replaced the UNK tablet easier to hold than book pick your own font size download newspapers magazines and books is just minutes easy on the eyes bright light is not problem it remembers where you were so you never have to find your place it is not computer it is magic tablet read faster and enjoy reading longer than before recommend the kindle for anyone who loves to read 1 greatest buy this is probably the best thing ever bought period the screen is great the battery is great in fact there is nothing wrong with it at all 1 UNK pleased at first wasn sure that the kindle would suit my needs have been reading through book clubs and purchases of paperbacks for years the kindle has given new UNK with its ease of purchases reviews and suggestions can sit in my easy chair and page through the books easily will have to try other features have learned about intrigued that may be able to read our local newspaper while away home plus of course is the potential savings the books may not be on my shelf but they are saved on the kindle and can re read the ones want thanks 1 new kindle great love the new kindle its faster and clearer then my kindle that this replaced my only problem with it is that it doesnt come with case to carry it in like the kindle did 1 buy kindle easy to use and an excellent product thought it would just be another gadget but it is the greatest makes reading joy 1 newest kindle purchased this kindle for my daughter birthday as she has borrowed mine previously model from year ago and liked it think the functionality of it is well suited to younger adult with more on screen functions and less actual UNK area wish that the wi fi access was more widely UNK for her convenience think she is quite pleased with it 1 so far so great it very light and compact and handles very nicely and is easy to use still getting used to it but find it very easy to read love the ease in which can receive my books return from traveling overseas what lightweight companion compared to the many books would have carried 1 love it already just received my kindle 3g last night and it was so easy to plug in and start using love it already it picked up 3g signal almost UNK and downloaded all my information to my kindle sure ll have more productive feedback once have used it for while one comment is that the keyboard keys are pretty small and awkward to use however know they are just new and ll get used to them plus going to be reading 90 of the time and not typing so small keyboard is no big deal 1 the right choice my wife reads books UNK typically she can go through about book day she kept ordering new or used books from amazon and our house began to get quite full of books considered an ipad since it also was color did internet and email and countless other apps however at the end of the day what my wife will use it for is reading books the kindle excels at that at fraction of the cost of the ipad the screen readability especially on the beach is far superior to the ipad and it does exactly what bought it for 1 my problems with the new kindle kindle hey ve had my kindle for about month and it will not turn on anymore my old kindle that ve had for about eight months still works fine don know what the problem is but going to UNK it and send it back love the lighted book cover bought for it hopefully ll get knew replacement and will have no more problems hope others haven been having something similar happening with theirs did really like all the new technology on it 1 amazingly cool little device have had to UNK myself by trying not to buy kindle for generations the kindle broke my UNK and finally had to get one after countless reviews and playing with both the ipad and the nook knew that for reading books the kindle was for me the size is right the display is right and the experimental browser with free 3g is real bonus not only do enjoy reading on it daily also use it to check my email and to surf various website like UNK and amazon don let anyone kid you for 189 00 it is good deal you are getting massive portable library with lot of extra cool features this is enough but with the browser the kindle is gift that just keeps on giving you will get near perfect experience using mobile sites but it is totally capable of rendering and navigating full blown websites too the ink is little odd when viewing web pages and the UNK aspects take about hours of use to get comfortable with with most electronics your UNK satisfaction is experienced within the first 24 hours however with the kindle am UNK week of ownership and am more UNK with each passing day if you are on the fence can assure you that you can loose with the kindle highly recommend the smaller model if you are heavy reader and would like to take it on the road with you frequently 1 kindle is awesome have now owned this device for week in that week have read those two dozen pdf files all of which had been sitting on my computer waiting for somewhere between month and year have downloaded lots of free books and read couple even got through the first UNK of friends UNK project 100 page word documents are fun so was it good gift amazingly so do recommend them for everyone that is more complicated readers are constant UNK in self UNK and require continuous UNK against UNK all those books available in seconds it tough not only that but think about these few details any book you buy on an reader cannot be lent to friend later you know after your finished that amazing book and want to share it with someone UNK too bad UNK sad you can sell them later to used book stores you don get the cool covers of the book and that big when you UNK books by their covers like do you mean have to read the publishers description UNK lastly if you do all your reading on an reader you lose the experience of browsing in book store and that is very important experience those are the negatives the positives have already mostly mentioned easy reading it really is like reading paper lots of free stuff read computer documents so convenient not too much money and UNK cool so if you have UNK of self UNK plan to read free stuff and or computer documents and promise to still buy some books in paper or at least stop by book store every once and while then yes recommend both readers and the kindle strongly conclusion stars UNK recommended so much goodness so little time 1 the kindle UNK it it is so convience as you can carry it UNK the world for your reading 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device am very pleased with my kindle it is easy to use and to read from UNK 1 kindle is winner if you were just thinking about it do it did and this kindle is awesome so easy to order books and many are free so do it you won be disappointed 1 kindle3 UNK our family september 2010 we bought kindle3 for our daughter birthday we all agreed to keep her with our current kindle account we have kindle2 UNK use on one of our pcs and use on my iphone she loves it and no issues so far reading is very important to all of us variety of books are at our fingertips there is no excuse not to have time to read husband dad needed large print to see the dx UNK this need and he likes the larger size dx the kindle2 is ideal for my handbag so can pull it out for the rare UNK and appointments when have to wait the kindle is great for my daughter with her busy life with her family kindle gives her enjoyable reading times with her children and during quiet times best of all amazon backs up any reasonable issues we have that occur during the warranty periods their service people are great believe we made the right choice for our family 1 love this reader but know it will be UNK soon am always nervous when purchasing items such as this as know an even better version will be available in months making this one UNK guess that why waited until now at least to purchase one and am very happy with my decision this version has few experimental applications that know will gain better usability in upcoming generations though the web browser is bit awkward to use with the small keypad and cursor movement the screen takes little getting used to with the UNK ink and only in black and white but it seems to be better for UNK eye strain since there is not back light using book light is little annoying but am used to using one with hard copy book anyway usually use UNK like for camping so it keeps my hands free and the light exactly where need it if you are looking for an reader and you also want to browse the web and check email too then get an ipad it bulky and heavy but will do it all purchased kindle because solely wanted an reader and feel like got exactly what was looking for really like the size and weight even with the leather cover on greatly enjoy my kindle and have had it for about month with no problems although did purchase yr warranty in case drop it in water 1 awesome the kindle is perfect for someone who travels often and doesn have space to carry lot of books the screen is excellent though must have some light on it reading in bright light sun is no problem just like the tv ad says thrilled with this device one surprise is the web browser that works with the free 3g or the wi fi connection 1 the best travelling device ever can say enough good things about my new kindle being both an UNK and avid UNK this is the perfect fit firstly dont have to feel UNK about using paper product and UNK trees secondly there are serious restrictions on weight and UNK UNK with the UNK these days and the kindle is the perfect solution you can take as many book as you want on your kindle and it won weigh any more then few ounces perfect there are unlimited books available for my interest and they are on my kindle in seconds when order them have convinced friends to purchase the kindle and many of them are getting it for christmas it is the best electronic device have ever bought ever love it also recommend the lighted cover great for protection of your device and for travelling in the car or on the airplane at night 1 my first ebook reader recently bought the kindle 2nd generation with wi fi and 3g and couldn be happier an avid reader books were taking over my home do love the feel and smell of new book and was concerned that any ebook reader wouldn be the same the kindle has shown me that physical book isn necessary UNK with the lighted leather cover reading in bed or in chair feels much the same set up was so easy buying and receiving books to my kindle or pc is simple and the convenience of something so compact is fantastic battery life is great just turn off wireless when not needing it the only down side is that number of the more recent releases are not yet available to kindle users in other countries in australia need to wait while and this is hard for someone who was pretty much up to date on my preferred authors being patient when it comes to books is bit hard all in all am extremely satisfied and very impressed thanks amazon for great product 1 pleased have enjoyed my kindle being able to set the size of the print makes it easier to read without glasses like playing games on my kindle however the keypad is losing the white color marking each letter making it difficult to see each letter use the tip of an UNK pencil so as not to lose anymore color from the letters 1 roll over mr UNK magical UNK in information am book person but this works for me required tech assistance and the folks at amazon were great looking forward to what is next 1 best reader available international buyers take notice of limited features this is simply the best reader on the current market will skip most of the details but wanted to point out that there are some serious limitations in the international version when it comes to the experimental UNK features browsing the web is not possible yes you can reach wikipedia and you can order books from amazon very easy but forget about the facebook feature and browsing the web not sure if this is hardware network card or software limitation and amazon has not got back to me on my mail if this is software limitation then it is possible that this will be fixed in later firmware updates having said all that this is still fantastic ebook reader resolution is top notch and it has all the features you want when using an ebook reader 1 kindle UNK calibre ultimate article reader going to cut to the UNK in this review you can read plenty about the build quality and display etc in other reviews first some details currently running on the device installed yesterday had been running from day one before that ve had the device about weeks and have nearly finished my second book this is probably the best device out there for reading long form articles used to read articles via my UNK account on my blackberry and after reading one too many new yorker length articles on tiny display realized it was time for something little more specialized the integration with UNK own site is great with your articles being delivered over the air either on schedule or on demand and the site packages them in magazine style format allowing for easy browsing and reading of articles the compatibility with calibre is also fantastic allowing me to set up my favorite rss feeds pull them from wsj nyt UNK UNK UNK UNK and UNK post to automatically download daily at in the morning and all have to do is flip the wifi on for minute to sync all the feeds before walk out the door and onto the train all of calibre syncing is free as it uses your free kindle com account the only caveat is that you have to have computer that you re willing to leave on with calibre running though often run UNK and such overnight anyway so it really not big deal another pleasant surprise was the web browser which is surprisingly capable to be sure it no ipad but it handles the mobile versions of sites with relative ease the UNK family of blogs work particularly well and twitter works great provided you find site with more specialized UNK give UNK try it still UNK and UNK from time to time but considering that amazon could have very easily decided to limit the access to wifi only or eliminate the browser all together it nice perk for looking up that UNK fact on wikipedia or checking email all in all very satisfied and sure will continue to find new ways of increasing the functionality of an already great dedicated reading device 1 after month ve been using the kindle for month now so figure ready for review simply put it is very very good there are things that the kindle can not do and that the thing that like it is terrible for browsing the web hate checking my email on it the music player is pretty bad too and don think would enjoy games on it either that the good news read on my kindle read more than was reading before got it love the feel of it don miss paper don miss having to wait for books to be delivered or having to drive to get them love that can send my own writing to it and show that writing to people on the kindle UNK got the wi fi over the 3g figuring that spend lot of time in wi fi situations and also thinking that wanted to save the money on the purchase of the thing do spend most of my time in wi fi and glad saved the money but the 3g would be very convenient sometimes if you can afford it go that way there is really only one downside to the kindle so far spending more money on books and my kids want me to spend more money to get each of them kindle it phenomenal very happy that got it 0 bad kindle purchased new kindle wireless reading device weeks before leaving on an extended overseas trip 30 days used the kindle at home for few hours and liked it very much thought could now have reading material for all of the flights and anytime wanted while away from home arrived at the airport to begin my trip and while waiting to board the plane took out the kindle was quite upset when it would not turn on needless to say made the trip and when had access to computer read the suggestions on the web site and tried the reboot that was suggested that did not work am three weeks away from going home so there is nothing to do but wait until arrive back in the usa will definitely contact amazon to UNK how to return the kindle that does not work the concept of having access to reading material that want anywhere am at is great the reality is device that does not work 1 less than 24 hrs perfect for reading older larger text rich books drawings pros size is perfect brightness of screen is good even in dim light cons still bit heavy wrist hurts holding it after 30 mins wouldn recommend for color rich books so not for UNK books for text only big UNK this device is just the thing 1 game changer great design wonderful product everything about the kindle is perfect you can help but to love it 1 my kindle my kindle is great addition to my life can take wherever go and love that the battery works for long period was very happy to get my kindle but it has many UNK tricks and have to learn all of them the screen had small UNK on it but waited so long to purchase kindle just couldn send it back don like that the recommended reading list that is personalized doesn seem to update also don like that you can find books as easy on in the kindle store as you can on amazon 1 nice addition to the kindle after some initial UNK ordering from amazon who were out of stock cancelled and UNK the order with UNK luv direct the product arrived early well done and is excellent quality and fits the kindle perfectly it is strong enough to protect the protect the device but not at all heavy the flip top is excellent allowing one to place device on table or one UNK if reading in bed overall well finished product and happy customer 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi really love my new kindle this is the third kindle have bought the original one for myself and then the new latest generation for my daughter recently gave my first kindle to my daughter in law and purchased another new generation kindle to say the least love my kindle highly recommend the kindle it is so easy to read and compact enough to put inside purse books are super easy to purchase and they appear immediately on the kindle thanks for making this wonderful item 1 the most amazing product of the year am so pleased with this product that still cannot believe it also have sony book that purchased years age and there is simply no comparing them the kindle is amazing am completely blown away by the whispernet feature am UNK year old UNK who has seen lots of technology UNK through the years but the kindle by far is the best thing to happen to books since UNK came up with UNK type thank you amazon and jeff bezos for bringing this incredible product to market 1 cool little item ok am UNK real book fan but the smaller size charcoal color and lower price finally convinced me to try kindle it awesome especially like being able to shop and download via my wireless router nobody ve shown this to can believe how crystal clear the display is it even sharper than friend gen kindle display very intuitive to use which is great for those of us who don read instructions first and the built in user manual is very helpful one UNK definitely pay attention to the coverage are for 3g wireless mistakenly assumed that since gen works wirelessly in my area that the gen would as well wrong so can use the cellular based download anywhere near where live but since virtually all my downloads are done at home running via my router works just great will never give up my real books but this new kindle is worth the price 1 kindle this device is something that always wanted it has brought me the joy of UNK again it great that you can have your whole UNK on one device can read for hours on this device without my eyes getting strained would recommend it to anyone who likes to read 1 good choice but it needs to improve on pdfs UNK mas UNK UNK pdfs great book reader but it UNK keep it up when it comes to viewing pdf files UNK for this the bigger kindle dx would be better choice oacute UNK UNK de UNK mas UNK UNK como UNK de pdfs UNK em UNK UNK UNK 1 wonderful waited till had the kindle for while to know it before reviewing it because ve never had one before and know people have had problems with their kindles but mine is working great so far no problems at all love the highlighting dictionary that comes in extra handy especially when those authors throw in those big words and the fact that can connect to the kindle store no matter where am 3g wifi version so yeah if you need an book reader recommend the kindle my only problem is dont know whether to get the warranty or not 1 kindle 3g much improved over the first generation faster easier to use smaller better screen outstanding battery life color would be nice but not necessary 1 ebooks this is great love how easy the font is on my eyes over the past year ve been using the kindle app on my iphone and this is an enormous improvement 1 better than kindle 2nd gen but only by hair ve had about week of experience now with the kindle wifi no 3g had to buy new kindle because my daughter UNK my second generation kindle thought the wifi being cheaper and lighter would be good to try out yes it turns pages faster and has better contrast it also lighter was very anxious about how the wifi would work and was very pleased to find that it worked just as well as the 3g in loading speed the device is slightly smaller than the second generation without UNK screen size the reason not crazy about it is that the plastic feels UNK they used plastic on the keys that has bit of rough UNK feel that is not very UNK to touch suspect the characters will wear off some day just really hate the feel of this type of plastic after only few days inside my UNK UNK cover ve noticed scratches on the front of the kindle this only UNK my UNK that amazon used cheaper grade plastic to bring the price down granted minor complaint but that my opinion 1 wow wanted to try this so much but as long time lover of the written page was very skeptical of this UNK gizmo after reading few chapters of my first book did indeed soon forget about turning pages made of paper was soon just UNK into the book UNK the pages by love the ability to make the print custom to my preferences this is an amazing thing and will never be without it again am reading newspapers now something haven done in many years downloading magazine or newspaper is an option hadn even considered but simply love it newspapers load in 15 seconds and books in under 30 so it so convenient and UNK say just plain exciting to be reading again highly recommend you try it it makes believer out of you 1 if you love to read last year bought kindle for my wife for her birthday my wife is very tough to buy for she never tips her hand and all that sort of thing have UNK lot of money down the drain buying her things that she never touched or gave to UNK the wife loved her kindle did too my wife and both read lot we have books all over the place that we have read we have lot of magazines as well flash to present month ago ordered the new wifi kindle what wonderful UNK product not for everyone the pro wifi is simply wonderful there are something like over UNK wifi hook ups between mcdonalds and starbucks not to mention airports the download is fast and you can be reading pretty much right away the battery is just wonderful turn off the wifi once you have completed the download and the kindle just UNK the battery you can complain about the battery only praise the books you buy stay in the UNK so if something horrible happens and your kindle gets destroyed no big deal they are in the UNK like the fact that can read several books at one time attention UNK but this is UNK hard to do if you do bulk of your reading at night like do and have all the books on your nightstand or if you travel this device is tiny and can hold up to 3500 books lot of people will not like the black and white photos and will only like color photos but really like the pictures they provide cons not too many con but the magazine selection is not very good more get more selection in your magazines the total lack of having paper on your fingers if you have to have the feel of paper forget this all in all really love the kindle bought the UNK 00 leather cover for it and it is great as well bought my wife the leather cover last year when bought her the kindle and both are going strong so hope gave enough information for those who have not bought an reader this one UNK rules have fun 1 UNK my kindle is an amazing thing can read in any position while in bed or sitting up think the best part of the kindle is can adjust the size of type 1 great device for books pdf still bit lacking purchased this item around month ago and am first time dedicated ebook owner and overall am very satisfied with the device the screen has great contrast and it handles glare extremely well use it daily in the commute to and from work and the text is easy to read in both full sun and under the UNK in the train the small shape and location of the page turn button makes it easy to flip pages with the device in one hand while UNK onto grip or UNK in the train the page turns are quite fast you get used to clicking the next page button just as you get to the last line so after while it is almost seamless reading am in australia and have found the 3g wireless connection and downloads work very well with no problems browsing and getting my books over the air the two items that find bit of let down but by no means would have stopped me buying it are the fairly primitive pdf reader and the little four way cursor hope that the pdf will mature with software upgrades it just lacks the functionality required to read some pdf if they are the wrong shape or size you either have tiny text or need to scroll everywhere the cursor control as have fat fingers is just little bit too UNK for me but considering how much use it really is very minor inconvenience 1 simple and easy to use just received my kindle yesterday it took all of 15 minutes to UNK my self download library and start reading give kindle the highest rating because it is so simple to use children and 80 year UNK will find it easy 1 excellent excellent product like very much excelente producto me UNK ya que UNK UNK UNK me UNK UNK muchos libros UNK UNK sin UNK UNK UNK 0 simple question why guess can see someone using this product if they travel lot and love to read but free books at the library are ok by me love the concept of UNK UNK but we are still several years if not UNK out from that place nothing we have yet replaces flipping through magazine or newspaper for articles you wouldn UNK search for had you not come across them randomly thanks anyway UNK next time stick to UNK UNK 1 perfect dear amazon team am really UNK you that you create fantastic device its very reliable and easy to use like to get books in couple of seconds all over the world suggest this device everybody who likes to read and get info about world regards UNK 1 wish had one sooner because readers in the UNK are much more expensive than amazon kindle was delighted to find out that this one is on the market for european customers as well and for very nice price it makes reading book very relaxing because it is very easy to use it doesn take up lot of space in your suitcase when on holiday and the possibility of storing up to 500 books on this thing is just great for book UNK like me the availability of books for the dutch market is if you like reading english or american books excellent although it may be impossible for me to order the odd book or two due to copyright UNK at least for the time being which in fact is little bit strange since could probably order those books in hard copy and get them in the mail without any problem but pretty sure amazon will work this out soon enough the many many books that are available though are often very cheap and sometimes absolutely free in short buying kindle gives you lot of satisfaction and certainly good value for money 1 lovin it have recently purchased the kindel and am lovin it don have lot of time to read which is something enjoy doing very much due to my work schedule now can carry it with me and read wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself the features such as highlighting and the dictionary are wonderful UNK to its usefulness have downloaded the bible too which makes it so convenient to keep up with daily readings do have trouble navigating through it as would like all in all it is real winner it only took my daughter letting me borrow her to read great book she had enjoyed and was hooked couldn wait to get my own 1 great product like it only wish they would include the protection for the screen really it is not like it cost alot of money to include other than that really like it UNK for the price can go wrong wanted mine for UNK have my laptop and desk top for everything else please with what have purchased 0 on our second one its piece of junk save your money ok will give you that new things have there issues but we are now on our second device with the same issue random re UNK these occur for no reason what so ever and each time you have to find your place again while our old silver kindle was as solid as rock this new updated one is junk better to get ipad and load the kindle reader app on that 1 love my kindle am so happy with my kindle makes me wonder why waited so long it is so convenient to order book but one of the best features is being able to sample book quite often friends will suggest new author this way can see if like the style etc without buying the book 1 three words like it thanks folks for all the great reviews and advise usually like to get something in my hands at least once before UNK out the cash since in canada kindles can only be ordered from amazon com almost UNK sure glad didn with the kindle cover it looks feels and reads like book the light lets me read at night and if fall asleep and my kindle drops to the UNK no worries sat out in the UNK sun today and no problem don have an iphone cause they don fit in my back pocket and don have an ipad cause it don fit in my laptop case kindle is perfect size ps my UNK son UNK were christmas is coming isn it dad and can you take it to school and show the UNK cause hate my backpack 1 very good ve had kindle for one month inch with wifi and 3g very happy with it no glare and you only need little bit of light to see down loaded some free books and surprise surprise they were good read 0 overpriced books everything written about the kindle all those great technology reviews which recommend it over other book readers is true however what didn realize until after friend gifted me one was that amazon has made mighty price shift from its originally advertised UNK to sell bestsellers for no more than 99 in fact since getting the kindle into millions of eager reader hands amazon has UNK up all its prices the kindle version of ken follett fall of giants is listed at 19 99 indeed books on UNK list are usually 11 99 and up and the books of top selling authors no matter how long ago they were written are also selling for 99 so before you buy kindle consider using the public library or buying used book do not get caught up in the UNK about books costing as much as printed ones that right up there with UNK companies UNK of charging UNK prices because of research and development in the end authors are not UNK from higher prices they never have been in the end it the middle man amazon barnes noble et al that is UNK the UNK like the kindle but frankly it is too much of luxury for convenience which have long lived without unless you are flying around the UNK stick with the real deal 1 kindle recently received the kindle for my birthday really love the idea that can have tons of books on the device and it weighs next to nothing and will fit into small bag or purse it takes bit to get used to not having to turn pages or hold book in your hands but love technology and gadgets this fits right in 1 oh my god its fabulous why had not gotten this kindle before now blown away with all can do with it read books listen to books music play games write feel this kindle is all gonna need for my learning needs and it fits in my purse never have to stand in long line or wait in doctors office again without something to do 1 must for anyone who reads ve had my eye on kindle for some time and when amazon lowered the price and UNK their latest version placed my order they have great UNK info on this product in their web site ordered the one with both 3g and wifi although after getting and using it the wifi for 50 less would likely have filled the bill for me perfectly this little machine is fantastic so light weight and easy to use and simple to access the number of free books available is quite blessing and provides quick UNK to your library as see it the only negative are pictures while it gives good quality on drawings and photos it would not do justice to book largely dependent on large or colored photos books that are primarily text are better to read on kindle that even the published book itself so easy to carry with you and to locate where you need be to continue kindle does all that for you if you read lot you will like this 1 love kindle defective leather book covers just got my wireless wi fi kindle this week so far love it however do not buy they UNK defective book cover amazon com knows they are defective yet they continue to ship them to customers amazon is making UNK off the kindle and accessories the leather defective cover is due to the bottom clip made UNK it does not even look like the top correctly made clip the top clip goes into the kindle and is secure however the bottom clip is turned the wrong way and goes into the kindle little ways in no way is it secure it makes the kindle UNK out and is very distracting amazon should be made to replace every defective cover it has shipped shame on you amazon for continuing to ship this expensive defective product 1 best electronic device have ever owned my wife didn want me to buy it she said it will never replace book was afraid the screen would be too small and it would not be easy to read well we were both wrong the screen is amazingly clear and you can change the font size if you want like the fact that the screen is not back lit like computer screen it is easy on the eyes and you can read it in sun light there are lots of free books available and these allow text to speech yes it comes with your kindle now we sit together and let our kindle read to us amazon makes it so easy to buy and download book that you have to tell yourself you can only read so much in one day we have the wifi version you can also convert your word documents and have them sent to your kindle for free it also reads pdf files love my kindle 1 my first ereader this sleek ergonomic gizmo has helped stop the UNK of my adult love how it feels in my hand love how easy it is on my eyes carry it everywhere 1 love my kindle wasn sure if would like reading display but now that have it it just right at least for me really like the solid design and the screen isn backlit like computer you do need good lighting to read it for those of you who get dry eye reading computer screen you probably won have much trouble with kindle screen 1 UNK review an excellent product that cannot recommend highly enough it is lightweight the type is easy to read and the charge lasts for close to month its capability to hold such large number of books articles etc make it an UNK accessory for when we travel with most books costing 10 or less coupled with the quick download we will not have to wait long time to start reading nor break our UNK getting books especially like being able to download pdf articles and books to read when have free moment my only complaint is that the font size for pdf is smaller than the font size for book other than that have no complaints in regard to the kindle look forward to using it in UNK with website follow 1 great devise beware of book pricing easy to use easy to read and pretty well built it does pretty much what most would expect it to and does it well the battery life is awesome price for the actual kindle itself is worth it on the negative side don like the power slide am very careful with it it seems very flimsy and expect it will break and or wear out eventually they should have used something bit UNK like to see more magazines and newspaper options would assume this is coming in the future my biggest problem is the book pricing books should not cost anywhere near what real book costs have seen books priced higher than normal books this is just wrong books have almost no UNK no shipping cost no paper costs no UNK no UNK cost to move the books around etc etc authors should make money but the costs of books is UNK sometimes 1 UNK sony prs 505 user seldom review anything but this new kindle just blew my mind away am prs 505 user probably the reader with the best screen functionality since this wasn worth getting anything else on the market got the new kindle yesterday and wow im just so impressed this is the best reader since the sony prs 505 it has everything wireless is awesome dictionary the screen the battery life the text to voice feature thought was going to be so so and just another UNK extra feature but was UNK its really usable when you re lazy to read of course its not like real human its not easy but would say pretty good the page change is faster on azw files and almost as fast on most UNK pdfs and definitely faster than the prs 505 when switching pages on pdfs of the same size pdf conversion to azw using amazon email service is pretty impressive its nice to read the pdf when converted to azw but only tested it on one file with almost no images im not sure but the image might have been removed but don quote me on that you can also use calibre which is free just installed it but haven used it yet not sure how it does the pdf to azw conversion using the email service or library used to read pdfs on the prs 505 they were bit slow but readable and UNK very well only gave the kindle stars because pdfs don UNK sony makes the pdf page that doesn fit on the screen when enlarged into couple of pages but on the kindle you zoom into page so you have to move right left up and down to read the whole page on the sony you just need to press next next next just checked forum pdf UNK can be done on kindle using calibre when converted to mobi file which haven tried good it is definitely star product but maybe they could add pdf UNK to make this perfect one really awesome thing like is that when you turn off the reader rather then just making the screen blank it turns off with nice picture on screen and this does not consume any power if im not UNK pure genius 1 value for money bought the kindle wi fi version about month ago and am really fond of it bought it mainly for reading manuals and books for UNK my UNK UNK found it much better than paperback as kindle is so light in weight that you can carry it anywhere you like and so there no excuse to skip the reading session besides can do search on UNK make notes and find the meaning for word easily furthermore they got speech over text sometimes you just don want any more reading then you can turn the speech over text on and you can just listen to the book how cool is that think for that money it simply worth it 1 telling you what you already know news flash the kindle is great product ok you knew that already it also lovely UNK of technological simplicity it allows you to store and read books electronically no more no less you turn it on and off and flip pages ahead or back that about it it compact light and UNK after 50 years of reading was hesitant to give up the physical page reached the point however at which had to choose between buying another bookshelf or getting kindle when the price dropped to 140 it became no brainer opted not to get the built in 3g wireless connection it takes about minutes to download book to my laptop and transfer it to the kindle if you re considering kindle just get it you ll be glad you did 1 amazing reading on the kindle is real pleasure for the past 10 years or so haven read much other than research decided to get kindle because living abroad and need more mobility since got it ve spent some time reading every day ve already finished books in the month that ve had the kindle amazing and can also use the 3g to check my email twitter facebook on the go in south korea where living now planning to move to germany this spring and so also looking forward to using the kindle there as get UNK with the UNK and other public spaces around my city this is beautiful simple amazing device even uploaded brown noise mp3 available on amazon to my kindle so can have something to UNK out background noise when in noisy UNK or other environment full of UNK distraction recommend this device without hesitation to anyone who enjoys reading needs UNK to read or wants to UNK his her life bit by getting rid of print books ok should go have book that UNK finished and want to get it UNK out tonight 1 excellent device purchased my kindle little over month ago have held off on UNK review to make sure that had adequate time to use the device this device has completely lived up to the hype imo love the ergonomics of the back forward keys on both sides making it very easy to use and comfortable to hold without needing to change my grip or even move my hand to change pages wifi UNK and auto downloading works perfectly the battery has lived up to the hype for me when using it as wifi off realize amazon does not give any UNK on page turns or hours per day but when can read 10 books on charge with wifi off 90 of the time am very happy moving downloads between devices is quick and easy if its not already on the device just select archived items and select the item for download and few seconds later it is available to read if you keep your wifi on or at least turn it on to use the synch feature before moving to the other device when you open the book it will be right where you left off 1 kindle is awesome the 3g amazon kindle is great product as an avid reader find the kindle store to be convenient because computer is not required and so purchases can be made quickly anywhere the kindle is light weight but does not have the two hand grip of book and it takes some getting used to reading on the kindle is clear and easy the eye strain is no greater than an actual book overall would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys reading 1 better than UNK UNK very pleased with my amazing new latest generation kindle and haven even tried every feature yet it easy to read easy to handle and the choice download of new book is piece of cake also like the kindle cover with the built in light you should be advertising this feature more as it real plus buying the cover at the same time as the kindle reader is good idea as both are delivered together very quickly and the cover is very well UNK the only UNK UNK on the cover is it should have been offered in UNK green colour worried that owning kindle is like owning my very first UNK UNK it so easy to download all the UNK that go with it ll be your best customer 1 UNK even better than before was an early adopter of the UNK got mine before oprah ever started talking about it and it was love at first sight upgraded to the kindle2 when it came out and now have the kindle3 each version has gotten better and love this newest one it so lightweight and compact and the long battery life is wonderful did side by side comparison with the and the and although the has wonderful screen the is even crisper and cleaner amazon if you make one that will take out the trash ll UNK it 1 love the kindle after carefully looking over relative ipad and reading about the kindle bought the kindle very happy with it and especially the battery life 1 kindle related UNK really love my kindle lot was sort of worried that wouldn especially since after UNK taxes and the various fees and UNK the total had UNK up to UNK UNK charged it up loaded some books that got from free website played with the browser little and decided right there that liked it enough to UNK UNK sleeve for it the 3g internet is pretty great bored on the bus check your email facebook weather it is usually able to load the full version of website but the browser is bit buggy so just googled for mobile iphone versions of sites touch facebook com UNK com UNK UNK where iphone etc sometimes am UNK and my UNK change and need to find different bus route home find restaurant find store etc since don have smartphone the free internet on this thing made it worth the extra okay as for the reading it pretty great too the screen looks soft no UNK edges to text so it really pleasant to use do wish that the buttons were set up bit differently though find myself using my left hand to click the button when really meant to push the lt button to go back or whatever the keys on the keyboard are ok but can find support for UNK characters it would have been nice for the alt functions of the keys to be printed in different color or something alt the top row of letters the number row on keyboard and the placement of the menu back home keys is non intuitive for some reason because often find myself back on the main screen it might be because use UNK on real keyboard to go back page online whatever it is these are minor gripes really love this thing 1 love it am an avid reader the kindle enables me to keep up on current reads and don miss any of my favorites additionally never lose my place new books are being downloaded instantly and have nothing to UNK of when finish my book 3g kindle is must unless you want to fill your bookshelves 1 kindle this is one UNK reader love the ease at which you can purchase and read these books the print is just the right size and the clarity is perfect good deal for the money perfect gift item expect to get very many happy hours reading with the kindle 1 love my kindle absolutely love my new kindle 3g wi fi got the graphite can change the text size very helpful when my eyes are tired after long day at work on computers can take it outside read it inside it lightweight and the controls are conveniently located was surprised to learn that it syncs with my iphone so can bookmark my place on one device and pick up reading on another the battery hardly ever seems to need recharging it downloads books much faster than expected our 12 year old even loves reading books on it 1 love it am grad student in UNK and have refused to print any articles too expensive have downloaded pdf files from journals UNK and even books on my subject may have cost couple bucks to start but compared to the cost of ink 70 pop it is cheap 1 kindle or ipad the question is false of course no other device tried gives you the reading UNK of kindle and giving up the internet UNK of an ipad or iphone is small deal just get yourself handbag laptop or smartphone for anything more for reading kindle is the top 1 great product bought this for the wife so far so good haven tried all the features but she seems to love it 1 kindle 3g wireless after too many years of reading collecting paperbacks hardbacks periodicals etc finally did my research into ereaders and decided to purchase the kindle ve got no complaints with the device whatsoever if anything access to the books on line is addictive and ve gone little UNK with the downloads love the fact that can increase the font size to UNK those late night reading sessions also love how portable the device is the contrast is amazing so overall experience has been great 1 couldnt be happier am so happy with my kindle except can put it down it easier on the eyes than print copy 1 great product poor site love my new kindle it is everything hoped for and then some what do not like is the very poor kindle store look up history non fiction and you will find books like treasure island and sherlock holmes get it together amazon the kindle store needs total UNK to make it useful 1 love reading just decided to switch my life style from couch UNK to reader have to say kindle helped me lot it great portable library and really easy for my eyes the only thing don like is for example if want to read bible sometimes it like jumping from one UNK to another UNK in very short time it not easy to do that is there any improvement can do for that 1 kindle with 3g wireless inch excellent contrast on screen easy to read and use especially like ability to browse google opens up vast UNK of down UNK material appreciate page turning controls being on both sides 1 library at my fingertips as tree UNK and UNK the kindle is an answer to two UNK not to mention saving my arthritic fingers it also perfect for saving UNK and space in luggage now that fancy free UNK and for reading while UNK in my deck chair on the cruise ship love love love it 1 book reader UNK non UNK UNK UNK con UNK book reader UNK UNK

available instantly they cost much less take up no room in the bookcase dont know how ever survived without it 1 kindle2 3g am an avid reader thought would miss holding real book in my hands well don the kindle 3g reads like book love that can order book on my kindle2 or online can sample books and read before decide to buy took this to the beach with me and it reads like ink on paper instead of making the font UNK just UNK the letters UNK and no longer suffer eye strain when reading for hours bought the edge UNK black leather cover and the UNK reading lamp can read anywhere anytime it fit in my carry on when UNK very easily its compact reads like ink on paper the whispernet works everytime and wouldn trade my kindle for the world 1 how did exist before my kindle being UNK reader so much easier to carry this in my purse can be reading two three books at one time now without the bulk of the books love being able to share my highlights from the books with friends with the touch of button extremely easy to read in all types of lighting from inside to outdoors the cover with light gives that extra boost when needed 0 arrived damaged after one month of waiting finally had chance to put my hands on my new kindle however the excitement didn last long my device was damaged and the image quality was exactly the same of UNK running out of UNK some parts clear some parts fading out couldn get replacement now because am on vacation asked it to be shipped to spain and am not willing to spend money and time on the phone UNK this issue besides would have to stay at home waiting for the package to arrive UNK lose one day that could spend doing fun stuff when am back home will contact amazon again and see how it goes then will put an update here gave two stars because the product looks great and even with the UNK it seems to be good 1 not yet totally satisfactory for viewing pdf documents the device is lightweight and hence practical for carrying around it is easy to use and also very kind to the eyes under various conditions of UNK have loaded many free books from the web but have not yet purchased any using the 3g function my intention is to use the device to carry around personal documents in pdf format as well pdf files generated from doc or pages formats are very good but pdf UNK from scanned in documents is not yet satisfactory maybe there is solution of which am UNK of this is the only reason why stars and not 1 cannot live without my kindle this is my 3rd kindle and just want everyone to know that my kindle is my UNK UNK get one you will never regret it 1 excellent well designed reader bought the 3g wifi version am extremely happy with it it is UNK designed very thin light weight and an ideal size to read normal ebooks it is not well suited for textbooks or technical material with lots of large diagrams because of the lack of color and the UNK of reading the small text especially UNK on diagrams this is why gave the kindle stars fortunately amazon pc reader does support full color so can fall back to my laptop when needed this is of course also true of web browsing although you can change text size and zoom it cumbersome and for browsing having to pan around using the buttons is bit painful however that not why bought my kindle the ability to read books documents on up to devices including kindles pcs and even UNK as long as they are all registered to the same user account is really key selling point although can simply lend out my ebooks to others at least can share with my family members and of course the cost of the books is equally important these have come way down in recent months so ebooks are now competitive with paperbacks UNK although this is review of the kindle reader have to mention amazon large supply of free content especially the classics important accessories love to read in our hot UNK so bought UNK UNK also bought UNK light for reading in low light conditions 1 kindle 3g review am completely satisfied with my new kindle travel quite bit and love to read occasionally want to check email as well and this device suits both purposes wonderfully also love that can read outside in sunlight 1 very happy with this one bought the wifi version as am almost always near hot spot and have been very happy with it have loved reading on it as well 1 new UNK love my kindle it is exactly what was looking for think it is very easy to use and the screen is always easy to see UNK amazon 1 UNK got my kindle on monday by thursday had read two full books love love love it have always been an avid reader and have book in my purse because it seems there is always wait time it is very light weight comfortable to use and is so easy to read in different lighting situations highly recommend it to anyone who loves to read it would be perfect gift to college student for all those that have to read the classics UNK etc 1 UNK very very happy with the kindle portability ease of operation and readability are all tops and great value for the price 1 my new book source as publisher was reluctant to buy the kindle how could UNK de feeling of the printed book for the digital version however we were running out of space to store any more books in our library and thought this was practical way to UNK my reading habits received the kindle with excitement and it has not left my hands since then still have not discovered all its UNK like sharing books read with other kindle users or how to effectively cancel an order that did not want 1 product excellent service unacceptable the product is marvelous everything as billed by amazon and other reviewers however when trying to buy one UNK outside the wasn offered the white version which is weird as assume technically there is only one and the same product the only reason can think of is that with demand being so high amazon UNK UNK customers UNK UNK customer service about this received very short UNK UNK that the white model wasn available for me and they couldn tell me if this would change luckily the models are technically identical just ordered the model and had it shipped overseas what do they mean not available 1 glad got kindle started reading as soon as downloaded my first book and enjoy the lightness and dictionary of the kindle also like being able to take notes as retired teacher would love to see some in every school reading rocks UNK 1 love my kindle love my kindle would not go anywhere without it going an cruise next month and have all my travel document on it and with all the free books for amazon you can go wrong 1 no more hard covers for me love everything about my kindle love the wifi connection so much lighter than my hard cover books perfect size my booklight works great with it so easy to use too 1 very hard to be without bought the kindle when it first came out few years back sadly it went home with someone else when checked out of my UNK hotel leaving the kindle under the pillow where read myself to sleep yeah someone even bought book at 99 before realized what had happened the following day went out for the replacement kindle the wifi version at about half the original price within the hour was right back where left off though with faster page turns and gotta love having the paper delivered each morning without having to step out into the weather to find it there also the easy disposal when finished reading and oh yes if you re one of those guys who is sure you ll miss the look and feel and smell of real book you are quite wrong while reading the UNK series one long weekend found myself flipping the top corner of the kindle with my index finger to turn the page had forgotten what was holding you will too 1 fantastic reader had sony ereader but am more impressed with the cost effective and many uses of the new kindle it slim reads text aloud looks up words without leaving the page has great search function and plays mp3 have not used the wifi capability yet since it is not available in my area the new games in the amazon store are fun and many of the these and books are free if not reasonably priced my only two UNK are navigating with the left right up and down controller it easy to accidentally press the center button instead of the UNK edges wish the controller was like the apple ipod my only other gripe was the battery charge drains quickly with wifi turned off and shutting the kindle down completely had read single charge could last up to month 1 amazing think ve ever used like to say thank very UNK to kindle UNK all features are better then hoped material pleasant to touch UNK comfortable in the hand speed UNK and 3g high UNK free internet high speed for page turn what might be better user interface and menu navigation felt shortage of hot key weight may be slightly lighter 1 kindle delivers before purchasing the kindle 3g read my stories on an inexpensive small led device the size but when the kindle 3g came out with very affordable price causing all the readers to drop theirs as well researched and compared the kindle won and ve had mine for few weeks now it meets the specifications laid out on the product page read the product page be realistic as the kindle is not substitute for computer netbook ipad it has small screen about small paperback book size therefore making viewing non mobile web sites and docs pdfs pain but UNK however it does make nice UNK device it is first and foremost an ebook reader it is comfortable reading device that compares very well to reading real book it UNK well in lighted conditions and just like real book it needs light source for dim dark UNK it offers extras that make it travel friendly UNK and fun the wifi and 3g work well but as with any connection that is wireless patience is needed because there can be connection difficulties UNK to signal router settings or maybe compatibility UNK and coverage problems utilize amazon kindle amazing support and forums for any problems 1 it cool it really cool love to read novels on it and you can actually read pdf files without UNK pdf into prc file so you keep all the figures graphs in the pdf and since you can always split the page into UNK so the figures and graphs would not be too small to read 1 kindle review since both my wife and myself are avid readers did some research on readers and determined that the kindle was the best for us purchased one from amazon and gave it to my wife to test drive while decided whether or not to purchase one for myself my wife UNK has not UNK in the several weeks that she used it ve been replaced as her companion of choice in addition to eliminating the stack of paperback books she used to purchase on UNK basis so based on her reception have purchased one for myself and thoroughly enjoy it no longer is it necessary to tote around books when we go on trip and we can share those authors that we both enjoy based upon the experimental option on the kindle it appears that kindle is headed in the right direction for future UNK with web browser play mp3 text to speech options 1 not quite perfect but close having loved my kindle with passion still recognized the need for better configuration of control buttons and lighter weight product so ordered the kindle ve had it for what month and love the weight of it the size of it and the graphite finish gives me more peace of mind about UNK its surface than my white kindle it takes few more seconds to turn on and off which is mild UNK but it UNK from page to page much more quickly which is wonderful the UNK dictionary still leaves lot to be desired but you can now navigate to the exact word you wish UNK instead of getting the whole line of type definitions highlighting text is easy to control though will probably turn off the feature that tells you how many other people have highlighted the same passage what am UNK do care which passages someone else liked the screen has greater contrast which is one of the best features of all aside from the smaller next and back controls that no longer are so UNK to accidental UNK was excited to download the recent new edition of card games as am free cell UNK but after only few hours of play the letters on the keyboard started to wear off my beautiful new kindle which is breaking my heart ve quit playing the game to save the keyboard from complete UNK overall love my kindle so much it practically never out of reach just don use the keyboard much if you don want it to look worn in hurry 1 great but needs UNK super fast downloads easy to hold easy to read in sunlight only problem is difficulty in moving book titles to categories ve created maybe UNK something but this step should be UNK 1 kindle love my kindle so UNK easier than carrying book wherever go it took me long time to give up the feel and weight if book but have really fallen in love with this device also purchased lighted carrying case which is wonderful for those places that are not usually UNK for reading 1 awsome bought the kindle to read while UNK my UNK who is due in months and have been enjoying it since purchased it love the lightweight feel and small size easy to read with one hand my daughter bought an ipad at the same time and am so glad chose the kindle instead 1 wifi may not be for all purchased this as gift and to make it more cost effective bought the wifi but after asked the UNK if it was ok my kindle UNK up wherever am and love that am not limited otherwise this is just as terrific as my kindle 1 love my kindle got my kindle month ago down here in mexico amazing experience the shipping was fast hassle free this device is even better than what expected always have it with me and find new books to read in the store plus the 3g upgrade is really worthy as another satisfied customer highly recommend it you ll not be disappointed 1 love it told myself wouldn buy one of these ereaders because enjoy reading real book but finally broke down and bought the kindle and just took it on vacation last week and have to say love it it is so easy to use and so much easier to pack and carry around love the options to change print sign and spacing love how quick it is if you re debating about buying one just do it it great and it actually cute very happy got it 1 first ebook reader have never owned an ebook reader until now have friend who is completely sold on the kindle product so decided to give it try bought the 3rd generation without the 3g for my wife and bought the 3rd generation with the 3g for myself we were pleasantly surprised with the overall performance of each reader found the 3rd generation readers very convenient and easy to use would highly recommend either unit 1 dear kindle people received my kindle couple weeks ago and waited this long to give review to see how well it worked for me it works great the only problem have with the kindle book selection is lot of books on kindle are more expensive then the actual book itself in my opinion the kindle price should be at least the same if not cheaper can you please look into this after all kindle is very successful hope you can lower some prices for us kindle users thank you 1 love my kindle just wanted to let you know that have received my kindle and love love love it debated for awhile about getting one and soooo glad didn wait any longer am an avid reader and can have several books magazines going at the same time problem solved this is the best thing since sliced bread 1 are there stars love my kindle within minutes of picking it up had it up and running my mother did the same have many books and few games on it already and love the convenience of being able to read wherever am car plane bed wherever 1 UNK kindle never thought would want an reader but am thrilled with the kindle have the wi fi display and it is more than adequate for me it is so much easier to hold than book and fits in my purse better than paperback forget trying to UNK hardcover the kindle takes up very little room have put scrabble on it my favorite game my grandchildren love to play the game with me now we can do it anywhere was really surprised at how long my kindle holds charge was not expecting that feature also the availability of the books like is great my biggest problem will be in UNK how many buy in month good thing they come at good price 1 enjoyable to use ve downloaded UNK UNK UNK and finally figured out how to find chapters the one UNK of this kindle is the lack of such UNK 1 great for reading great for listening love this thing ve been reading lot on it but an UNK feature is the text to speech which is my main use have to read bunch of boring rules and cases in my work so what ve been doing is loading those into the kindle plug in an UNK to my car UNK like do with an ipod and have the kindle read the text to me on long road trips not exactly easy listening but great way to keep up on stuff you have to read but can bring yourself to sit down with to convert word docs UNK not supported yet or pdfs they have to be clear and best if they are already UNK you can email your kindle address at put convert in the subject line and amazon will send it back to you in kindle readable format the voice is kind of robotic but it actually has some very subtle UNK that make it easy to listen to 1 finally an reader own the 2nd generation kindle before this as well as other smartphone devices and pad devices tried reading them and they all do the job however this third generation somehow feels right in the hand easy on the eyes and just is comfortable am not sure how to explain it but it makes me read more since have my magazines new yorker UNK and etc as well as several books probably the best way to explain it is when first got my ipod and iphone because it was so easy just listened to more music and watch more videos movies this third generation kindle is definitely the ipod of readers having said that it not an ipad or other tablet it reader so it perfect for people like me who UNK multiple reading materials on my commute UNK before bed reading and weekend UNK picture and graphic UNK magazine readers probably won enjoy it have the cover with the light haven used it much but it nice to have it does seem to make it bulky but it not that bulky the debate with wi fi or wi fi 3g got the wi fi 3g because read it on multiple devices and the last page sync feature works better on 3g since the device doesn have to be connected to wi fi 1 letter for amazon kindle wifi display european version great UNK it is now few days old and love it more than my ebook reader on the pc reason the ink color feature the display is very enjoyable and all my ebooks that had before in my pc are now in the kindle great the pdf reader is bad the copyright of my UNK bought pdf UNK that means not readable in short maybe good for the guy who made the software for the kindle but can buy now the same book again but this time from amazon the UNK thing is UNK and readable whenever want the registration was not done registered it in an inexpensive hotspot for UNK per drink all in all am satisfied lets hope it lasts the color of the letters on the keyboard wow real buttons are fast worn off though thanks amazon recommend amazon to implement the lit format and my UNK for text to speech feature works great would like UNK feature text to speech for italian UNK UNK spanish guys and on and on of course the interface could have UNK feature too amazon be so kind and include all commercial ebook formats mobipocket UNK implemented microsoft lit the pdf format is useless let it drop because if UNK have to scroll not only UNK but UNK too cannot read on this way without loosing the place where was understand that you have to speak with lot of UNK UNK that is the reason why am not complaining it could sound as am complaining sorry bought it because of the display and the experimental features which are the best things on this ebook reader if may please work like to offer your books it is more UNK audible works fine too UNK UNK 1 how did live without it when first saw kindle was UNK it was version one it was clunky and kind of slow and very expensive but now they are smaller lighter less expensive faster and for me right now just out of the hospital and UNK long period of UNK it is exactly what the doctor not to be UNK but ordered can use it in bed at night without disturbing my husband it travels easily in my purse most books are very reasonably priced and many are free or close to it can connect to the kindle store virtually anywhere except UNK UNK which seems to be UNK UNK dead zone find it easy on the eyes and keep forgetting it isn an actual book because keep reaching to turn the page and suddenly realize that there are no pages per se it is wonderful thing for any serious reader to have not just book to take on trip or to hospital but whole library it is UNK to be able to have such wide choice of reading material to be able to adjust print size and so much else in short just love it and recommend it to everyone who loves books 1 good for reading but not for casual reader bought the reader because was intrigued by its capabilities but then UNK that am not an avid UNK and that the cost of the reader is on top of whichever books buy if can read nytimes for free on the web on my laptop why would read it from the kindle for 19 99 for month all in all was impressed but it is UNK for me 1 very ergonomic it form factor is designed to meet the reading purpose very well while it does not have the bells and whistles like ipad it does one job reading books and does it well one thing don like is quality of images 0 poor returned my kindel with wifi because couldn download any books from my home customer service told me to go to mcdonalds or starbucks so it could hook up and then would be able to download when purchase product expect it to work and not have to go to another location so it will set up and then will be able to use it very poor service 1 easy to use love it the kindle is great am not really big on new technology but this is easy to use and very convenient it has lot of useful features and is so easy to take with me seem to need lot of light to read it so will probably buy one of the covers with the built in light books download very quickly and easily couldn be more pleased with it 1 kindle is it love think so okay okay other reviews have come before mine and have gone into great detail about the device or comparing it to the UNK nook looking at you here or complaining about shipping times or saying their kindle failed UNK or whatever this is not that sort of review do love the kindle yes said love it gotten me reading again currently reading game of UNK in UNK for the UNK series next year which is hardly bad thing chose the wifi only version because don think need the 3g service that said it works exactly as advertised buying book from the kindle itself or from the amazon site puts my selected book on my kindle in literally seconds even faster than the claimed 60 seconds haven had mine long enough to test the battery life claims only about week but it certainly seems to last plenty long it small and light in the hand so it easy to sit and read ve even started reading while on the treadmill in the morning since can UNK the font to allow myself to read with my face feet away and with the UNK not concerning myself with web browsing or whatever either this is for reading electronic books fine with this and for the price having dedicated reading device is totally worth it no UNK with bookmarks no dog UNK pages no losing track of books so far anyway it works great and it simple may end up buying another to give as christmas gift good work amazon totally happy with it 1 versatile device recently purchased basic kindle the sync app is great you can get kindle on your android phone pc or kindle it syncs all to the furthest page you have read my device actually had to be sent back and replaced after weeks not problem getting that taken care of 1 kindle UNK reading device wi fi recieved my kindle after much anticipation had picked some books out on the amazon site when recieved my kindle they were already on it that was wonderful never had anything like the kindle before enjoy reading more also lots of free stuff just love my kindle recommended it to my daughter and she got the kindle with wi fi 3g wish had gotten that one after saw hers but still very pleased with my choice what else can say it very good product enjoy it it easy to use not technical person wish had bought on sooner 1 kindel have purchased each kindle as they were released amazon listened to us and improved the kindle they have improved the kindle to the point that have purchased one for UNK and two for my daughters my wife is happy with kindle and we have retired kindle 1 share the delight really love my kindle have not been able to put it done for long since UNK it it is great gift for any reader in your family or great friend 1 very very very sensitive screen take very good care of your new kindle it has very delicate screen the one bought few days ago fell from the UNK of only few inches and the screen is blank for good be careful very very careful 1 love it so much more than expected received my kindle last week and have never been more impressed with product we have way too many books in our house but never want to get rid of them because we frequently reread them or loan them out was an english major in college and love to read but was quickly running out of room didn think care for the kindle because enjoy the feel of book in my hands the kindle feels so intuitive from it size and weight to the way you advance the pages love that you can highlight passages make notes and get definitions with just click of button completed two books on the kindle this weekend and have started another what fantastic gadget it really an amazing value and highly recommend it 1 excellent UNK bought this as birthday present for my mom she isnt very tech savy at all and gets nervous about using electronics but she loves to read and computer professional so figured could train her how to use it was really impressed with the electronic ink this product uses it is unlike any screen had ever seen with extreme clarity and very UNK to glare the weight and size are perfect love the integrated amazon book store which makes purchasing book extremely easy the built in wireless is awesome and the general use of the product is pretty easy my mom has only had it few weeks but it using it everyday and loving this an excellent product and would suggest to anyone who loves to read UNK 0 rip off have kindles and have been kindle owner since it came out do not buy an ebook reader unless you want to pay more for the ebooks than you do for brand new hardcovers 1 love my kindle love my kindle previously had UNK and found it quite good to read on but the amount of content that was available was annoying could only download stuff from project gutenberg they have some great stuff but would love to be able to read new content when my kindle came almost had UNK it was so good now can read all the books have wanted to for ages and they are so cheap plus can still access those project gutenberg books on it the screen is clear and the text is sharp in fact sharper than any book that have read it is really easy to download new content and easy to keep track of where your up to there are times while reading that almost find myself trying to turn the page from the top light sharp and really portable love the wifi and 3g features and use them more than thought would the only UNK is the inability to change the off screen screensaver small thing that sure will be UNK soon on the train the park work or in the car kindle rocks love being able to take my library everywhere with me and being able to open book like that some times while waiting for my wife to get her hair cut or try on UNK have quick read love this thing man 1 must have for anyone interested in reading purchased my kindle through gift card had several choices and it took me several days to decide but the decision was worth it never liked reading on the computer and always preferred the paperback editions or UNK of research articles tried my UNK kindle when he was visiting us and it completely changed my perspective it feels much better than the paperback books and articles as the word font is consistent therefore no chance of straining your eyes the built in dictionary is great help and saves you the effort of having thick UNK dictionary adding to the space on your book shelf and you can have several of your books in one small space without the UNK of finding boxes to store your books when you are UNK you can just switch from one book to another depending upon your mood and the best part is that you can always try out sample of the book before you end up wasting dollars on book you can read beyond the first chapter this also makes it easier to decide on books to gift can go on and on but in UNK would say that it is must investment for anyone who is UNK about reading 0 had it for month and now won turn it on gave this to my son for his birthday ordered on september 22 and on october 23 it won turn on called customer service and they are sending new one to arrive on october UNK they were very responsive but need to be if the thing is not UNK 1 love my kindle absolutely love my kindle 3g wifi ve had it for over weeks now and ve read at least books already love the convenience of carrying it UNK go and being able to pull it out and read what an awesome invention thanks amazon 1 amazon kindle re kindles joy in reading who knew ve resisted getting an reader for years felt would miss the energy of holding book in my hands or the individual relationship one creates with printed book surprise don miss it at all love seeing my titles all there available for me love being able to highlight so easily and then just as easily UNK my highlights if choose to love being able to UNK the type font size as desired love the ease and the speed of turning pages and the ease of returning to the last page read also ve been having trouble with my eyes and had fallen off reading as UNK as did once and the kindle because of the ease of viewing the screen and changing the type fonts has re kindled my joy in reading it so easy am so grateful thank you UNK UNK 1 love it super easy to use and it is joy to read books with this device can believe how light and portable this is plus it goes for weeks without charge my wife and use it so much we will probably get another one so we don have to UNK who gets to use it 1 we all know it an awesome machine just wish that when it turns off while looking at notes and UNK that it would stay on the note was looking at when turn it back on instead every time it turns off it goes back to the first note highlight when turned back on however this is an extremely minor issue love my kindle 1 our kindle is perfect we love our new kindle it is super easy to use and we can read different books by multiple users all at the same time we really like how easy it is to search for and purchase new books the screen is great and battery life is incredibly long considering how much we are both using it it size and shape allow me to read more because it is more comfortable and easy to hold and control with just one hand 1 excellent product kindle has saved my eyes am able to adjust it perfectly for my eyesight it is easy to UNK and pleasure to read downloading is the UNK thing enjoying it so much worth every dime 1 UNK kindle love the kindle because have access to all the books want and it so convenient the size is perfect and it is very easy to use if it was backlit think would make it better and with the wi fi on the battery does UNK last long at all but overall really love it 1 technology at its UNK the kindle iii is one of the most innovative ereaders on the market pros price price price finally the kindle is more affordable for the average consumer UNK music is always plus page turn speed has improved one month battery life weight have held magazines with more weight than this one of the coolest things about the ereader is that my college uses ebooks this means that carry less weight in my bag plus cheaper books but guess as long as you have any ereader this would work just thought cons no memory UNK for more music pdf etc doesn come with case you ll have to buy protective case has UNK built in but no use for it yet more of an UNK than con all in all say if you are in the market for an ereader then the kindle iii is the way to go personally think this is the way of the future 1 kindle is wonderful have read books in the first two weeks of owning our kindle it is great the adjustable font size is great feature my wife now complains that her regular books are too big and bulky after using the kindle originally bought it for for her and she loves it however have used it more than she has guess will have to buy my own now 1 love it what expected and more reading UNK my own files with me my own collection free books lots of them cheap books light weight thin great contrast paper feel like your eyes don get tired as you read and it can even read for you kindle is the new way of reading reading lot getting another one for my wife since we can not share mine she is UNK and wants to carry tons of law books in the kindle great idea UNK just convert any files to kindle format UNK and treat it as regular ebook can not live without it 1 wow this reader is great just wish knew more on how to use the 3g part of it it says UNK what does that mean called and wasn very satisfied with the UNK got it was like he did not know 1 think it great was concerned that would not like not having the book was wrong it didn take very long for me to get used to turning pages and the UNK of not holding heavy book my only complaint is the cost of the books many can be bought cheaper than on my kindle just seems like they should be cheaper then the printed version but all and all am very pleased thanks 1 great my daughter has always loved to read and now with new baby at home she can purchase books and enjoy without ever leaving her home awesome product 1 impressed owner amazon kindle has an impressive set of features in small size and weight it is very comfortable to read on it and can take annotations UNK and bookmarks transfer them to my computer and share them instantly on twitter and facebook kindle is small and lightweight so it is easy to carry everywhere and hold it with your hand to read for hours books are organized in collections and you can find the content in or across them thanks to good search function the display has an excellent contrast the best UNK and you get used to the screen refresh the shopping feature is must have you can get book in less than minute paid through your amazon account 1 kindle third generation if you are wondering whether the new kindles are worthwhile upgrade to the 2nd generation or even the first can say that it is better in every way over the previous versions but in particular the new display is an absolute joy to use more contrast and far UNK and clearer text honestly to me the display alone made upgrading to the new kindle worth the cost do however spend the extra money for the 3g version you ll be sorry if you don it just too wonderful to be able to grab another book in minute wherever you are and you get the wifi network choice included in that version too and be sure to get the lighted version of the cover it powered directly by the kindle and with it you can always read your kindle in the UNK lighting and the light always there if you need it btw amazon makes it extremely easy to get your previous kindle books onto your new kindle even if you re not near computer you just select archived items on your new kindle which lists all the kindle books you ve ever downloaded pick the book you want and UNK you have it on your new kindle too 1 love it ve been wanting to get kindle since first heard about it but was waiting for the upgraded version to come out couldn believe when my family got it for me as an early birthday present it is absolutely as great as amazon says it is thanks for such great product 1 completely worth it this is my first kindle and let me tell you its worth every penny it is very lightweight and easy to hold with an amazing display that is anti glare and looks like ink on paper even after adding amazons case with built in light it is still very light and does not cause fatigue in your arms after extended reading periods you wont be let down 1 amazing this is my first kindle have played with the previous ones but they lacked something both in their functionality and in their price have had it about two weeks now and must admit that it is simply amazing if you re into reading this is where you want to look 1 love it received my kindle as gift from my husband and absolutely love it there is no glare on the screen don even get that on my blackberry have taken it on airplanes and recommend the cover with the built in light it is amazing and so functional best gift for anyone who is an avid reader downloading books through amazon is breeze and actually purchased the UNK title and they gave me the refund immediately highly recommend it 1 love it held off on buying kindle because love the feel of paper but purchased the earlier version for my husband last father day he loved it and didn feel at all UNK out of the reading experience he bought the kindle for me for my birthday love this version even more it very helpful to have page forward and page back buttons on both sides the way button is easier to handle also love how we can share books since we buy them on the same account bought the kindle leather cover and am pleased with it it easy to put on and does great job protecting the kindle handy to have the cord to keep it closed and also to hold the cover in place when you open it up all the way behind the kindle also bought one for my hubby he was using the UNK sleeve successfully but wanted hard case bonus for me because my kindle with the hard case on it fits perfectly into the UNK sleeve designed for the kindle now feel it is completely protected in my purse or car love reading books on the kindle and really addicted to every word free game the only thing haven figured out yet is how to easily go back and reread something from couple of chapters earlier you know when you forgot when character was introduced or something so guess am UNK pleased with my kindle 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device much better than sony book reader great screen unfortunately the free 3g wi fi service is used only for downloading books it could be more UNK if there was possibility for internet browsing too and it pretty difficult to find an info how to download other dictionaries to the kindle it wonderful that the kindle came with its two downloaded english dictionaries but how other dictionaries could be downloaded 1 thought would miss the paper when kindle first came out thought no way can give up paper books well have the third generation kindle and love it get lost in the story and almost forget what cool devise am using to read it from tree UNK should be happy to hear that will not be buying UNK made book again if can help it love trees also they give great shade for reading my kindle under no UNK was UNK plus now when read on my kindle can instantly look up word in the dictionary this alone is worth the money can carry whole book shelves of books with me where ever choose to go am glad the kindle is UNK for mostly reading books and news papers and such and not gadget to compete with ipad iphone and laptop computers have books on my kindle that can only find in kindle edition and they were free can now read in bed on my side book that was only in hardcover till the kindle came along and now my arms will not get tired when reading in bed because of the kindle light weight can go on and on but just buy one and see for yourself why you can not go wrong with the 3rd gen kindle UNK 1 love it love this little device can take books and games wherever go the dictionary feature is awesome just move the cursor to wherever you are on the page and there your definition downloaded couple word games and they are UNK 1 the convenience cannot be UNK love my new kindle the convenience of having one cannot be UNK love to read during lunch at my desk and have always had to put my tape UNK on top of my book to keep the pages from turning now that have my kindle no problem have had it almost month and have just charged it for the first time love it 1 don know how managed pre kindle simply love my new kindle reading books at time my husband still has to have book in his hands is that UNK 1 UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK comprar un ebook reader UNK las UNK UNK en el UNK UNK un nook pero no UNK con UNK UNK lo UNK ya que UNK libros UNK en la pc al ser UNK al UNK el formato se UNK no se UNK leer UNK barnes and nobles no UNK en UNK UNK de libros UNK UNK aunque el UNK UNK UNK UNK en la UNK UNK una UNK me UNK ntilde su kindle me UNK la UNK de UNK los libros como se UNK UNK yo UNK UNK no me UNK es UNK UNK UNK UNK de leer UNK el UNK de amazon me UNK 1 kindle 3g wireless great product received this as gift the instructions are simple it is clear to read and very light it is great for traveling as it is much lighter than book never thought would like book reader but it has it advantages particularly for travel am amazed to say highly recommend one for reader you know 0 amazon took step backwards with kindle in short the number button row has been eliminated and the home and back buttons have been placed at the far lower right of the device making it almost impossible to avoid accidentally hitting with your thumb while reading it really UNK to constantly lose your place because of this UNK however the biggest disappointment of all is that despite the UNK that page turns are faster on the kindle they and generally everything else are almost full second slower than the kindle have both kindle and kindle and used them side by side to make this comparison going back to my kindle may try the kindle again when amazon updates the software hopefully the delay in page turning and button response will be solved overall was extremely frustrated with the new version and really amazed that amazon would take such step backwards in design and function 1 just tried my kindle received my kindle and loaded free book this was an easy experience haven had time to explore the complete capability of the machine but it is intuitive and easy to use and reading what pleasure definite improvement over cumbersome bound book or even paperback great job amazon nice addition to my house 1 love my new kindle purchased my new kindle about month ago and just love it love the ease with which it works how easy it is to download books from my kindle or from my computer like that you can archive items when you remove them from your kindle but keep them so if you need them you can have them like how you can organize books into collections like to do mine by author like to read series of books so order them all together and organize them by collection love the dictionary built in quickly look up the meaning of word easily can say enough about how much love my kindle 0 screen broke on 2nd day with only slight touch got the kindle and took it on trip with me it was lying on the bed with me UNK over bit to pick something up and barely touched the kindle by mistake it no longer works looks like the screen may be broken very disappointed in this 1 kindle UNK the on off switch is too easy to hit move to other end touch screen touch screen touch screen over all very handy and easy to use 1 love it but have read 19 books with my kindle and have no complaints except one only books so far had photos UNK whereas am sure the same kindle books in paperback form had photos otherwise love this UNK 1 love it in every way this is my first reader and have been UNK impressed with everything the screen gives really good and clear image while the wifi and 3g has been great and no problems from UNK would definitely reccommend for the price 1 great gadget like my kindle very much there are only three but there are books with special characters for example in names which are not displayed correctly it is not problem of the kindle it is problem of the books but it is anyway problem for the readers if you don live in the there many books that you can buy that is strange and problematic there are very few books in other languages 1 best gift ever my kindle is the best you can get books in seconds and the variety is UNK there is no glare and it is so light would recommend this product to anyone who wants book on the go 1 great product picked up the kindle wifi few weeks ago and have loved it so far debated between this and the 3g version but in the end opted for the less expensive wifi model honestly don miss the 3g the kindle is extremely comfortable to read on find myself noticing the device less and less as get into what am reading can read on it for hours without feeling like have been staring at screen the long battery life is huge plus you can just grab it any time and read without worrying about how much longer the battery has left in it another useful feature is mailing your kindle documents find myself often mailing long articles and documents to my kindle for off line reading 1 even better than kindle love the kindle the smaller size is easier to hold the battery lasts so much longer really like the web application recently went on trip and was able to check in on line through the kindle it real keeper loved my kindle but couldn resist the UNK got the one with 3g and think it just worth the extra 50 to have unlimited internet forever not always somewhere where there is wi fi we also travel alot and the new 3g will work everywhere including in mexico also got the new lighted case and it is an excellent addition the best thing about the kindle is being able to read it anywhere but the lighted case really improves the dim light reading bought through amazon instead of third party seller it arrives already registered and any books purchased between purchase and UNK will already be loaded transfer of books from the kindle to kindle was very easy and didn take too much time just wish could have moved my categories with the books included instead of moving each individually thanks amazon for yet another great product 1 new kindle reader this would be my third kindle lost one replaced it and then decided that at the new price to purchase an additional kindle the first kindle cost 400 the second UNK and the third 139 quite change the new kindle only has wifi and not UNK connection this offers no problem in today world actually downloading books with wifi is faster page turning and brightness is bit better on the new kindle and it is lighter yet with the same screen size the best feature is that can read any books buy on either kindle my ipad or my ipod touch amazon has apps for ipods and ipads that allows reading all purchased books on them you also can synch the books so if am reading book on my kindle and then on my ipod can go automatically to the last page read to sum it up the new kindle is an excellent reader and amazon support is also great the price is definitely right 1 ergonomics could be better great device the weight and profile are great find the keyboard bit annoying as it where you want to place your thumbs when reading and there no way to lock the keyboard it would be great if they could do an update where pressing any keyboard button goes to next page also find the page numbering really really weird currently on locations UNK UNK so UNK pages from the really book world is impossible as discovered today when was trying to access online content that required password from UNK UNK of the book hmmmm the delivery system to the device is awesome you buy book either on amazon or through the kindle and it syncs up through wifi in my case in seconds you also have the ability to read the first 20 or so pages of book before you buy it and once you get to the end of the preview it literally click to buy the book and continue not too sure how to delete the preview from the device yet though overall great and highly recommended my favorite is hearing about book and being able to read it instantly rather than having to trek to the store and paying way less than in the store ve heard complaints from UNK that books bought for the kindle don count toward the best sellers list but UNK this will have to change soon oh and don buy the book style cover buy UNK 1 have tried other people older versions and this sounds great hello reading friends to my mail friends can only stay on line briefly so patience please ok to the kindle will hand deliver if possible my letter to UNK well ll drop it somewhere where he can find it and this is number one totally happy with my second gen ipod music device don need color or UNK features on music player though it has them and all my new UNK and UNK have places for about three or more devices no problem UNK we ll never see an updated UNK pro personal info manager or an UNK for tablet etc so what the point anyway ms otherwise fine UNK and amazon should consider getting together with microsoft yahoo UNK UNK software if they wish UNK compatibility and you would totally knock the ipad tablet to UNK killed that great program in the UNK too late now like it that can read my books on pc so can write with book right there on screen awesome this cross UNK capability wish it were free though think about it you might double your UNK base just food for thought but was taken UNK about the lack of library compatibility you can just have it time out when it due of course by simple software addition to the libraries and to kindle you don even need the pub you could do it yourself but then thought again if this were the case people might never again even spend any time in library enjoying paper for UNK UNK with people face to face have book UNK UNK which are not only educational but offer wonderful meeting place for people with similar UNK etc in other words creating UNK UNK system might actually eliminate real libraries and even the memory of books in young people and that would be awful nothing makes better UNK the real kind in your home or UNK than bookshelves UNK with books or those wonderful UNK on wheels you can get at UNK etc again UNK with books books have definite place and now top priority place but they should not be the whole of it or we will have lost something UNK the fact that you want to make the kindle look and feel look and feel just like book or even slightly more UNK shows that people do love actual books and we do and we need to keep libraries for lot of reasons so it was wise decision ll explain to UNK UNK also keeping both textbooks and real books available to students though the texts often cost UNK it is not only convenient but they have lost lot of weight you can hurt someone with one of those texts you ve already done it you need do not thing more to knock the UNK off our faded and UNK to fade text standards based UNK system thank you so much even school board can see the UNK btw 10 bucks and 75 parents and UNK UNK can also appreciate the light weight students are awful UNK about ergonomic UNK but something must be done and you already did it so books on my kindle hope as look to the UNK on at the end of december music of my own choosing from my cd collection or new ones of old ones ordered from amazon along with some great new UNK phone calls on my phone and if necessary mails on blackberry device which can also take phone and that will also take my kindle software though must find out how the new UNK and UNK all have enough pockets so not to worry one device cannot do all of this best and the latest kindle system is the best reader system ever mon UNK UNK and UNK 1 no more heavy book bag purchased the kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi display graphite 3g works globally latest generation in september now have UNK 10 books that read and use on daily basis all my materials are in one place and easy to access all this in light weight package the larger kindle would be too tiresome to hold for any length of time the ipod is UNK and costly also UNK several classic books that would never have purchased just to re read but since they were free from amazon am reading them again 1 kindle 3g this is the second kindle and some of the changes are good and some we don like as well as the first kindle the size is smaller and the screen is brighter the minus for us are the page changer keys are smaller and the on off switch is on the bottom now and not as easy to access at the gym while using exercise equipment overall great product 1 so far only one complaint have had my kindle for few months now and love it other than not being able to organize the books the way want them am still learning lot of the tricks but when purchase series of books like to be able to keep them in the proper reading order or be able to label them so know which order they are supposed to be in don know about this battery lasting weeks bit end up charging mine after books which is days most of the time 1 kindle 3g wireless this is an excellent product the only complaint have is the text to voice this is not reader as on UNK it appears to be computer generated hope kindle will UNK this UNK use live reader it will improve the product 1000 otherwise it beats paperbacks don UNK 1 amazing this is the best gift ever bought for myself love it love it love it comfortable to hold and comfortable on the eyes even in the sun enjoy the ease of UNK new books whenever and they are instantly available to start to read 1 kindle latest generation loved my first kindle but this new one is even better and really love it the size more fonts line spacing crisper type even longer battery life and the new lower price just don think it can get any better than this almost to the price point where could start buying them as gifts for family and friends all we need is to be able to connect them to the libraries in order to UNK books for free and we ll be set 1 just what needed last month ordered the new kindle it was delivered three days later started using it right away enjoying the UNK which made the new kindle stand out compared to other readers most important for me the UNK quality screen contrast the user experience of search and edit functions is more than ok based my choice for the kindle on need for good contrast good handling of pdf files and good keyboard integrated in the reader was able to make my choice because of extensive reviews of serious reader users and reviewers thanks amazon for your UNK to create the ideal reader 1 UNK love my new kindle UNK be able to read my pdf book with out using computer 1 yes but love it plain and simple it book every book you wanted to read at discounted price now for the but many books are available very cheap or free some cost more than the paperbacks some of the formatting is hard to read even the the best novels can be UNK with bad formatting note to amazon spend buck or two more and UNK freaking decent UNK or this thing may die overall get one easy to use and fun too 0 kindle experience an UNK perspective received my 3rd generation kindle wifi yesterday as far as the hardware goes have no complaints so UNK UNK the kindle store searching for the promised free classics saw that all of these are priced at 00 us have great difficulty understanding why amazon charges 00 for out of copyright books to non us UNK this is not the price of delivery as have the wifi only kindle and yeah all these books are out of copyright in my country india as well these books are available for free on gutenberg but if have to download all classic ebooks from gutenberg could have as well bought any other ebook reader and not the kindle feel UNK as before ordering my kindle saw jeff bezos UNK with UNK UNK http www amazon com gp UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK center 26 UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK in which he UNK about the free classics as well as amazon customer focus guess UNK off your international customers who UNK pay more for the kindle hell UNK around 200 usd for my wifi only device really shows your wonderful customer orientation of course most other UNK guys simply change their address to UNK us one and download these books for free while could do this guess will stick with gutenberg as am not UNK and too proud of my UNK to indulge in such UNK didn get power adapter with my kindle further the cheap UNK micro usb cable it shipped with UNK like UNK UNK wall guess its full of good ol chinese lead hope the amazon guys can help me UNK of this cable in an environment friendly way cause quite sure its UNK instead of giving this UNK cable it would have been better had they given nothing it wouldn have been that big deal after all we aren getting the adapter and it not like micro usb UNK are really expensive or rare you can get one for in india unlike the adapter which costs actually 1 wow k3 is UNK really love my kindle it the right size colour and price UNK from australia and postage was quick would recommend in buying screen protector first and hold off getting cover personally bought dollar notebook with UNK cover and used UNK UNK UNK pad to stick my kindle to the inside of it and it works treat am bit UNK of the covers that clip into the side of my kindle as have heard that you can fold back the cover behind it self and some kindles have cracked where they connect would say just have think about what type of cover you want and review it first but all in all am more than happy with my kindle 1 absolutely great the kindle 3g is fantastic from first opening the box to its use everyday the kindle 3g is joy absolutely step above the competition the 3g is must have for the UNK additional one time cost 1 really enjoy my kindle really enjoy my kindle it everything they advertise and more so simple sleek and useful great little reading device this will probably replace the written book in the coming years 1 love my kindle really do love my kindle my husband has nook but mine has better features including being able to use the internet the only thing like about the nook is it gives page numbers where the kindle uses UNK anyway it is great 1 the amazon kindle is everything to be expected from amazon the kindle contains everything that reader or not even an avid reader would want as far as books go the kindle has made me read more than ever have it makes it so very easy to get books and reading on the kindle is much better than an actual book dont even feel like am reading on electronic device just know that am reading by the way make sure that you get case UNK after buying your kindle its not that its fragile its just it really needs one UNK it is so small if there was one thing that did not care for about the kindle it is that it is sometimes bit delayed on the store and while am reading also the voice that reads to you while still being amazing that they can do that was UNK disappointed in have tried several times to listen to it but cant stand it if they were to fix these two things then would have given it stars but never the less if anyone is reading this buy the kindle am sure that you will be satisfied with it oh and think about this case its good deal and it is really good for the kindle and it comes with light and good UNK UNK UNK edge UNK kindle jacket black red blue fits display latest generation kindle out of 10 1 love it never thought anything could beat my UNK for the k2 but the k3 did it it smaller and lighter which means my purse is also smaller and lighter as it goes everywhere with me love the built in light function using the amazon cover even though wish there was little more variety in those and love the longer battery life the ink display which never had complaint about with the k2 is even better with the k3 and best of all the price is fraction of what paid for my k2 which is has been placed for UNK in good home well done amazon 1 love this kindle absolutely am in love with kindle cannot fall asleep at night unless read and now my bookstore is always open if want new book all have to do is shop in my kindle store click and read phenomenal 1 great ebook love my kindle it makes reading alot easier the battery life is awesome it great for reading on the go no more carrying large books around would recommend this to anyone who loves to read 1 reading is fun again really like my kindle lot was hesitant when they first came out due to the price but the new kindle 3rd generation is great got the 3g model the electronic ink is very sharp you can read in very bright light it is really very much like book the kindle gets better the brighter the lighting the letters are very easy on the eyes at first regretted spending the extra 50 for the but now really like it you don have to spend all kinds of money on smart phone to get google maps the experimental browser although far from perfect works to get me directions from google and can get my email for the price you can beat it very pleasant surprise is how much started enjoying reading again there are thousands of free books that you can read on the kindle am reading UNK UNK one of the best things is that amazon will convert your pdf documents to kindle format for free have to follow the simple instructions and put it on your kindle so whole world of other books that are available as pdf are open to you another thing would get the cover by amazon for the kindle got the one without the light it is really worth it 1 love it love it can fall asleep reading and wake up to my page do not have to search for the page was on when fell asleep love that can download books from my computer the book appears on my kindle in less than minute my only complaint is with the keyboard the keys are hard to select the arrow keys are too little at UNK years old this is wonderful invention am glad to have lived long enough to enjoy it 1 was the UNK UNK all the avid readers in my family have been curious about the kindle for long time and was the only UNK one to finally pop on it came to UNK decision after noticing the huge pile of books stacked by the side of the bed that am currently reading thought about all the readers out there the nook sony reader and decided on the kindle because it was simple and did exactly what it is intended to do and well did not need color screen or fancy bells and whistles just more useless applications that are on every other device own thought it would be UNK change going from paper to the kindle but it is not there were things like chapter book UNK and book marking spots was worried about and the fact do not have wifi access in my house the kindle shows the book UNK at the bottom with the chapter breaks as little UNK and you can sync it back to the furthest point also have the kindle application on my iphone and pc buy book once and can sync it to all the devices and if happen to forget my kindle at home the kindle application on my iphone syncs to the spot was on my kindle and vice versa about the wifi access there is way to use the usb cable to transfer your books from your computer to your kindle without the need for wifi just google it and there are UNK of websites on how to do it that are much better at explaining it than me also am an avid UNK and download pdfs of UNK all the time love that you can put pdfs on the kindle and read them no more UNK paper saves of UNK ink and my pattern with the supplies need are right there with me at the press of button as for kindle case got beautiful hand UNK leather one from oberon designs it is UNK and designed to protect the kindle all around they also have cases for the kindle and many other devices my mom has one for her ipad love that they are made to order and have such attention to detail just buy one already you know you want one you will love it 1 UNK everything works as claimed it is simple to operate and navigate the kindle store has all the books one needs have no negatives for this product 1 for air force UNK purchased this kindle to carry all my flight publications when fly for the air force the ability to send the pdf files to the kindle and have them convert them is easy and very fast can carry all my UNK now in very small package reference annotate highlight and even make notes for later reference so far several other UNK have UNK about it and now are looking at getting one as well it takes complete flight bag and puts into one easily UNK section works great 1 great product with few bugs let me just say that love my kindle the only reason gave it stars instead of is because it occasionally locks up and needs to be rebooted for no apparent reason also sometimes when it is in sleep mode and slide the power switch to wake it up it will reboot instead that is bit annoying overall though it works great and is pleasure to read 1 great purchase love it it is worth the money turn the wireless off and the battery lasts even longer tend to read nonfiction and fiction books at the same time so download both to my kindle and now all carry is one book rather than two 1 my kindle as of now am thrilled with the kindle since am an avid reader this makes my life much easier still have to understand the complete UNK however will get to that 1 excellent book reader disappointing browser mp3 this was my first kindle and the whole family was amazed by its UNK clarity and ease of use we quickly downloaded many free books and started reading right away the only reason am giving this star is because the experimental features are horrible the browser and mp3 player are absolute pain to use the way controller makes it even worse hope amazon improves these features in their future releases 1 love kindle bought two one for myself and one for friend no problems great product 1 great job im not heavy reader by all means but on trips or on some free time when wanna enjoy the weather outside take this with me installing books on here are very simple the books are alot cheaper than what was UNK the battery life on this is very good only need to charge it once week for me the wifi works great mean can go on and on and on but wont cause like to keep my reviews short anyway def reccommend this to heavy readers or to people who wanna read on the go without having to carry million books its all in one book hope this review was helpful 1 love the kindle love my kindle the older get the harder it is for me to read the smaller print in books with the kindle can set the font size to any size like plus it is very light weight so far the battery has lasted weeks as advertised and downloading books is very fast and easy 1 love it just received two kindles wifi only yesterday which will be christmas gifts wanted to check them out to make sure they are working as had read some reviews in which people said the kindles were broken when they got them it turns out that my UNK were UNK both of mine turned on and set up seamlessly was easily able to connect to my home wifi it was so exciting but unfortunately they must be hidden now until christmas question noticed that they do not actually turn off they are put to sleep picture appears on the screen while they are sleeping will this picture stay on the screen until christmas will it UNK the display at all 1 if you re buying this as surprise for someone that you live with be advised that it comes in box that is pretty obviously marked UNK giving it stars because know my husband is going to love it and has had his eye on one for months now but really expected it to arrive in its usual UNK amazon packaging unfortunately it was on the front UNK as he was leaving for work this morning so there goes the surprise factor oh well 1 kindle fan love it convenient ll never be without something to read no matter where go 1 lighter and quieter the new kindle is nice improvement over the kindle in some areas and not so great in others love having the wifi built in to the new kindle but wish had the ability to allow wifi to be used while 3g is turned off to save battery the quieter keys are great improvement over the loud clicking of the previous models one thing do miss from the kindle was the UNK backing that made the kindle light in weight but UNK than the current plastic sure this was done to cut cost and allow the UNK to pass through the unit easier but the UNK was nice overall it is great for anybody who likes to read myself and others know with kindle no longer miss paper books and with the current price points who wouldn invest in one 0 defective unit and customer service if you do not want to read about my kindle experience and my disappointment with amazon customer service skip this review kindle is amazon when you purchase kindle you are purchasing amazon customer support received my wi fi only kindle of september and aside from the fact that it looked and felt kind of flimsy was initially happy with it immediately purchased several books and was generally happy with the kindle reading experience then the unit starting freezing and UNK never used the browser it restarted while was reading books and you should know that kindle restart is painfully slow then two items became UNK inside of the unit and UNK around while was reading and it was restarting this soon became UNK and UNK to return the kindle ve been addicted to amazon for over UNK hundreds of orders with less than return rate and assumed that the return process would be quick and easy was wrong it initially appeared as if had encountered amazon normal exchange process printed return shipping label and checked the box on the screen UNK an immediate replacement and agreed to return the defective kindle within UNK days but the next day began receiving email from customer service UNK that call them to UNK the unit that had already placed in the mail every email have received from customer service imagine UNK from UNK provided an option to respond by email but every time did was told that kindle issues were handled only by phone eventually convinced rep via email via email that there was really no reason to UNK unit with loose UNK rattling about but the rep refused to ship replacement without first UNK on the phone this all seems odd to me because amazon has managed to ship several hundred orders to me over the years without ever having to talk to me so now have collection of expensive and useless kindle books no kindle and UNK to find an UNK online UNK to UNK my christmas shopping this year 1 UNK el UNK UNK de UNK me UNK oacute lo aacute UNK UNK para una compra usa la UNK es UNK te UNK de no es un libro es UNK pero lo UNK UNK para ser UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK de mp3 internet browser UNK muy bien es la mejor UNK oacute que he UNK en UNK los UNK ntilde os la UNK para leer UNK libros que UNK de UNK tengo pdf del UNK UNK sin UNK uacute UNK pero UNK de un libro UNK el kindle no se UNK aacute UNK UNK UNK UNK te UNK UNK UNK el wi fi es UNK no consume UNK UNK los doc los lee muy bien UNK UNK de amazon com la UNK oacute UNK de libros UNK muy bien UNK UNK de eacute UNK sin UNK UNK aacute UNK 1 kindle wifi 3g reading more now than ever the amount of free books are amazing the area that is used for the new library is very small the years before the kindle have me using lots of shelf space for book storage now that have used the device prefer to read on it like the way that can make the font size fit me and not the other way around the biggest UNK back for me is the ease of buying book though that is not tough problem just don hit the buy button every time excellent choice for any one who likes to read even used the kindle to read scanned pdf version of an UNK sea journal 1 wonderful reader with some tech UNK when bought the kindle wanted dedicated ebook reader did not want product to UNK the ipad and must say am very pleased with it so far with few tiny UNK pros awesome for reading thin extremely light weight wonderful easy on the eye screen comfortable to hold ease of use easy to buy and organize books quick to turn on off handy dictionary function read to me function is nice albeit bit robotic cons battery life on mine is not nearly as long as UNK and re charging takes ages hours the screen has frozen on me few times text on buttons seems to wear off with heavy use when searching for books in the store on the kindle the UNK of the book doesn show in the list view no protective cover included they should have included cheap one little things would improve would have liked more options to customize front page setup navigation buttons should be bit bigger possibility to choose navigation direction of side buttons would have liked the big navigation button on the right to be next page and the big navigation button on the left to be previous page dedicated number buttons 1 good choice as ebook reader very good if you are serious ebook reader but don expect to anything more although it has lot like ipad actually bought this after ipad they are different UNK very surprise that it needs to be turned to UNK mode to change the UNK why not just put it in the menu as standard setting actually in general still have lot of room to improve on the ui 1 love the kindle kindle is light easy to use screen is very readable in any kind of light does not strain the eyes 1 stunning and comfortable reader to read did not buy this product did not know the feeling is so comfortable to use buy kindel you will definitely want to buy kindel UNK hope amazon could launch another low priced kindel UNK oh will definitely buy and strongly recommend to my friends and customers to share the experience of using 1 new kindle the new kindle is small enough to take everywhere love it and the great price 1 kindle latest generation absolutely love it it is so easy to read and very convenient the speed of getting books is incredible love it 1 the kindle just rocks no picture really does the kindle justice can believe just how amazing the screen is unfortunately as UNK says no one can be told what the screen of the kindle is you have to see it for yourself when my kindle arrived unpacked it and thought UNK they put sticker on the screen with instructions for first use just imagine my amazement when removed the usual protective plastic UNK from the screen and realized there was no sticker with instructions it was the screen itself displaying the instructions ink is really revolutionary the device itself is exactly what it was designed to be reading device would say this is the UNK evolution of paper well done amazon com very satisfied and if had to make an UNK would say exceeds expectations have loaded word files pdf files and text files to the kindle and it works nicely also tried out some newspapers no complaints the only thing would improve would be the way to set bookmark it should be done via single click but overall great experience by the way couldn be more pleased to find the familiar UNK UNK in the legal section nice to find out it is linux based no wonder it works so well 1 kindle review read lot so just love the kindle it not complicated to use no more books piling up in my house and it just the right size to fit in my purse so can read anywhere in most cases the price for kindle book is more reasonable than hard copy and the books store forever so can go back and read again later if wish just the best also recommend the cover keeps the device safe and dust free 1 loving it ive had the wifi version few weeks now and im loving it way easier to read than had anticipated it being the web browser is pretty sad which is why gave four star instead of five but for what its intended for its fantastic and the battery life is exceptional im on my third book so far and find myself reading alot more then usual and love being able to get book in about 30 seconds ive also UNK few pdfs of UNK books that UNK available on amazon without any trouble being to read chapter or for free before buying also is huge saver for me no more buying books cant get into 1 read reviews had questions now have answers wanted an ebook and looked at the nook sony reader and read lot of reviews read the one star reviews on the kindle and was concerned about the lock ups physically used the nook and sony reader at stores and was concerned about searching among the text page change rate and view ability purchased my kindle wifi two weeks ago and loaded 100 books most free along with some reference books UNK and other collections results it took little time in getting the password for my home wpa wifi into the kindle typing numbers symbols UNK and other information can be complex not an easy keyboard when precise 16 character input is required but once got the hang of typing and understood the symbols in my password zero or UNK or small it worked great wifi connected and downloaded the UNK 100 books which had pre selected before received my kindle in about 10 minutes read and used my kindle without much instruction although purchased the kindle guide book which recommend also the kindle is very easy to use and fun have now used every feature read parts of 20 books UNK around in the UNK looked up references used the dictionary added bookmarks written notes jumped around from book to book used it in the sunlight UNK rooms and have the following comment kindle is the best best reader ever have showed it to at least 30 people let them play around in my books it is absolutely fun fun fun it gets UNK star rating from me and never rate anything stars recommend the kindle as the best gift ever for those who love to read have sold at least 10 from my UNK 1 should have bought this sooner love to read but hate having books lying around the house finally bit the bullet and bought kindle wi fi which arrived last night quick shipping by the way am now in serious love immediately bought books which transferred very quickly to the kindle the back lighting is very good navigation is easy and ve even transferred some music this is so much better than UNK books around should have bought kindle long ago very happy with my purchase 1 new 3g kindle love the new 3g kindle very fast more capacity user friendly purchased the original kindle and this is UNK as great love it 1 now know what they are UNK about waited and waited to get into kindle it is everything that people said great item easy to use lightweight UNK 1 wonderful easy to read great for students and everyone ordered the kindle and cancelled the order because UNK had it that the price might drop around christmas have to study for the UNK really need to increase my reading comprehension considering issues with the UNK UNK because it been ages since read book for pleasure ve bookshelf with books my bedside table has books picked up with intention to read but just don read them UNK glad re ordered the kindle in september got the wifi only version and it more than enough for me if you re the kind who gets lazy holding book for long time this device is so lightweight easy to hold with one hand even for tiny people with tiny hands yes hold with one hand and read without getting tired no glare what surprise makes reading so much easy on the eyes and ve young eyes but staring at the computer gets tiring set up was breeze and this is coming from not so tech savvy person mean use 19 phone bought from amazon that is UNK UNK don worry when leave it somewhere because know no one will steal it it not even colored don know how to use UNK or smartphones because don care for them and love using my kindle connecting to my home wifi took seconds it UNK wifi connections and all had to do was enter my password once ve the cheap UNK router that has the and wireless whatever it also UNK into the free wifi at work in matter of seconds think it great for studying for people studying for UNK think it great way to improve your UNK purchased vocabulary UNK thing for my kindle and ve gone through lot more words on that compared to the paper UNK UNK all you have to do is move the cursor to the word and it gives you the meaning you can even hit the key for further UNK with UNK if you re studying for the UNK way ahead of time and need to improve your comprehension for the UNK this is great tool wanted to buy the paperback version of book wanted but thought about underlining or writing down words looking them up in my UNK dictionary compared to just getting an instant look up with the kindle and settled for the kindle version ve used the web browser and for me the new york times page opened up in about seconds was expecting it to be slow because that what ve read from the reviews but it UNK fast plus the pictures show up and you can enlarge the images further and you can enlarge the text as well really love this after being UNK for while on the new york times page it went to sleep mode but when UNK back it took me to the article was reading also used it on facebook and it was fast as well and you can UNK on facebook and update your status using this this is such great device it UNK worth it it very easy to use still haven read the mini manual or UNK guide that came with it but ve read books and done so many things just by playing with it it took me while to decide between the nook and kindle and since don know anyone who owns the nook who can lend me books decided against it besides UNK books can be converted to kindle format and kindle ebooks are cheaper compared to other bookstores so far ve no complaints with this device wanted to use it for while before writing review and highly recommend it it sucks that amazon took forever to mail the cover ordered with it so ve been using this without cover no scratches yet highly highly recommend this heck downloaded the free bible and took this to church why carry my heavy bible you will not regret this purchase cheers to reading 1 fun reading kindle is way to read and simple to use great selections of free books as well price of new books is good 1 awesome kindle bought the kindle and love it so easy to navigate and love the fact have every UNK best seller list at my finger tips definitely one of my favorite purchases especially if you are an avid reader UNK UNK 0 screen broke in just few weeks absolutely love the device but just after weeks of ownership and with the UNK UNK UNK the screen broke not screen UNK not drop no UNK force just little pressure on both ends screen cracked in half either something was physically wrong with it or there is serious design flaw in the kindle and this post will be one of many amazon was great called at UNK and had new one delivered the next day free of charge shipping label to send back the first one ve heard that some prior kindles were more UNK strength but for amazon to take step back on quality of the product for 3rd generation may be terrible mistake ultimately though that this was device can put in my back pocket made this great buy if can even do that though not sure its for me ll see how long the second one lasts but don see wanting to have to have amazon replace this thing UNK year just through normal use but that how thinking it might go at this point star product star durability stars in total unless the second one UNK more durable 1 kindle 3g wi fi latest generation love my new kindle updated from the kindle wanted to have the 3g wi fi live in rural area and was only able to download my books when went into town since am UNK and home most of the time this was not very good feature love my new kindle was able to connect wirelessly to my home internet and now can download books newspapers or anything anytime want like the faster page turning overall love the new kindle the only thing they need to improve on is quicker way to shut it down it takes too long to shut the unit off so sometimes just close the cover and it goes into standby mode and forget to go back and shut it down UNK running the battery down other than that am happy customer and enjoy reading my kindle daily thank you amazon kindle 1 best book have begun to read books again because this is so easy to use anywhere can also work UNK UNK on planes because my dictionary is on kindle there are so many uses of this haven even begun 1 thrilled very pleased with the service from amazon and my kindle is great would highly recommend the kindle 1 love my kindle love this kindle it is so easy to use and so easy to hold have very sore wrists and book can be to heavy to hold very long this is so light weight that can read forever on it it is so easy to purchase books from and they arrive so fast would recommend this to anyone 1 love my kindle the kindle is great product and has made my life easier have arthritis in my hands and the light weight does not cause pain can read as much as want thank you or this product 0 do not buy this item waste of money bought the first generation lasted UNK then the UNK generation does not work do not buy it please total waste of money very unreliable no help or support outside usa too complicated to operate very difficult to use 1 love the kindle great product the ereader is fantastic downloading books is breeze even overseas love my kindle 1 my second kindle it is easy to tell that really like the kindles as this is my second kindle passed on my first to an UNK relative it is just fine and the improvements are great 1 truly great reader okay so have to say that absolutely love the kindle am impressed with it light weight ease of use etc the screen is very easy to read and comfortable to read even after several hours was able to put several books on it in text format that were easily read overall very impressive device amazon has the whole shipping thing down to an art ordered on friday around UNK pm central time and had the device on my doorstep by UNK the following morning that was very impressive the device also was UNK and was very easy to setup and use will definitely want cover for it thats next purchase 1 great little book after lot of hype about book reading decided to buy kindle wireless plus wi fi all can say is that it is fantastic little book downloading books is easy and arrive on my kindle within few seconds of buying you can buy either via the amazon web site or via the kindle itself reading from the kindle is in my view much better than book and you can change the size of font quite easily the instructions are quite simple so for those who are not very literate it will not cause UNK UNK since my kindle arrived have new excitement in reading again and have found new authors especially authors of the UNK UNK which find very welcome change to authors of today one bad point but not with the kindle itself is that am very disappointed that as live in spain have to buy the kindle from the us including the UNK charger for spain although did buy the leather cover for my kindle from the uk buying books for the kindle also has to be done via the us site and find these more expensive than the uk site know of books costing UNK in the uk are sold on the amazon us site for UNK which is UNK 21 also some books available in the uk are not available in the us you can buy books from other book web sites but make sure it includes books for your kindle buy alot of items through the uk site and all are delivered to spain no problem maybe in the future europe can be included in the uk site 0 go for the dx this is like reading book on post it notes purchased the dx for my husband and was pleased with it as was he UNK UNK gadget geek was given the newest generation kindle and my first impulse upon reading with it was to pack it right back in the box it just bit larger than my iphone and reading on it is like reading on box of post it notes you spent at least as much time turning pages as you do reading it nearly impossible to get into flow state given how tiny the screen is and how frequently you have to turn pages was very disappointed the search functionality is UNK the buttons are tiny and don offer UNK push experience the dx is way more expensive is the trouble sending mine back and waiting until the book selection gets bigger to buy dx 1 very nice and it is easy to operate like the kindle bought but what do not understand is that certain books would like to buy you state that these books cannot be bought by UNK why can you explain this was also looking to buy power balance UNK but was informed cannot be sold to UNK found one at an american web shop and had no problem why these restrictions awaiting your UNK thank you UNK 1 the kindle is awesome ve loved it the first time UNK my first book read it in about week to 10 days 1 my new kindle 3g decided to break down and get kindle started to run out of library space after UNK my home the kindle met or exceeded all my expectations easy to use and very user friendly have several books going at one time easy to just flip from one to the other take it with my whenever leave home helps to pass the time while waiting at the UNK office and other places that leave you waiting around lots of free books available many historical UNK etc my only problem is more location problem then kindle problem live in rural area just on the edge of 3g UNK so sometimes have hard time downloading new book get in my truck and go about UNK and the book downloads can just as easily hook up the cable to the computer and download via the internet if reception is bad but use it as an excuse to go get coffee so it all works out have similar problems with my cell phone the price you pay for living in the quiet UNK highly recommend the kindle to anyone who likes to read bought the leather cover with the light works great 1 kindle latest generation my first kindle this is my first kindle purchase so have nothing to compare it to really like the kindle it is more fun to read whenever want to carry the kindle with the cover that purchased in my handbag it does not weigh me down my only UNK is that the on off sleep button is on the bottom and tend to shut it off accidently while using the kindle other than that love it 1 library in one hand this is my review of the amazon kindle the third generation purchased the amazon kindle on september 18 and received it on 21 september have been using it ever since the kindle it is to me revolutionary device for those who love to read the kindle is ideal for those who do not want to carry around the weight of three or four books in their purse or in their briefcase most importantly about the kindle if you travel great deal and you have trouble deciding which books you would like to read on your trip or vacation the kindle allows you to easily take 60 or 70 of your favorite books along with you and the weight of your entire library will be less than ounces can you imagine that the question comes to mind what do like about the kindle the answer is great deal to me begin to share with you what ve mean by this number one find that the kindle is revolutionary device for those who want to have library in their home or apartment but do not UNK space to keep the books the kindle allows you to keep up to 3500 books in one slim device the customer also has the opportunity to books they are not currently reading from their kindle library without having to lose the book or read purchased it because kindle keeps digital copy of all purchases made from amazon com so what does this mean it means that you can have up to 3500 books on your kindle which are in your personal library and if you can store many thousands more on amazon UNK because they do not UNK the books you purchase from them number two like the electronic ink display at the kindle uses because you read for hours without having to worry about eye started number three amazon kindle also allows you to have access to one million 800 000 free books so if you buy new kindle you do not have to spend money to buy books if you do not want to number four the customer service amazon kindle is outstanding people are friendly and they take the time would be reaching every customer know because have made several calls asking questions and getting it answers to problems that have their customer service is outstanding 1 why bought kindle and why stopped using my ipad to read ebooks bought kindle recently and love it the best ereader ve ever owned wrote column about it where explained why bought the kindle and why stopped using my ipad to read ebooks check it out if you get kindle think you will really enjoy it here link to the full column why bought kindle and why stopped using my ipad to read ebooks 1 reading experience on kindle 3g wi fi page turning is UNK the battery lasts for long time there are some minor problems on reading pdf converted to kindle format some of the symbol can be displayed and part of the text appears to be UNK also the 3g is bit slow in my area 1 better than ever already had the kindle dx and loved it the new wifi kindle is even better easy to read at any angle hooks to wifi like dream keep up the good work 1 superb reader when received my kindle the first thing noticed and appreciated was the box it came in the kindle is fit in plastic UNK protecting the kindle and the box itself is very solid then the kindle itself really was UNK by the clarity of the screen and the ink the contrast is simply the best and it makes reading very easy can only say that am even more satisfied than what could have expected UNK UNK 1 kindle wireless purchased this device as gift for my wife who is an avid reader she really loves it she especially likes the convenience of being able to download book in the middle of the night if she wants to without having to go out and purchase one another added benefit for me that didn realize when purchased the kindle is that no longer have to put up with piles of books everywhere 1 an amazing device but very limited titles in other languages really enjoy this product is amazing and the UNK to send by email pdfs is incredible but the problem is that some books in other languages like spanish UNK are very limited and the dictionary are just in english and there no option to buy one in spanish or in UNK will really enjoy more the kindle if they think that there are some people that read in other languages other than english 1 my kindle review it does one thing incredibly just wanted to add that its months later and still love it did it broke down and bought kindle just two days ago it was UNK day perfect day for buying device for reading have tried to organize my thoughts below but if you want here is little background have been watching the kindle ever since it came out in november 2007 where it sold out crazy fast but then the nook came out last fall 2009 and then ipad came out this year 2010 my eye has largely been on the ipad since it can do virtually anything but UNK you figured would like the all in one device am an iphone user so my biggest draw to the ipad was the touch screen few months ago picked up friends nook and kept wanting to touch the screen and was disappointed miserably so thought could only continue with touch screen devices was wrong last week friend mentioned to me that he might want kindle and that got the wheels UNK for me the UNK UNK was back in my head as to which device would be best with my hopes for an ipad on pause looked to the kindle again actually it wasn even thought until was in book store and saw that the new UNK of UNK UNK was out almost bought the book right there but saw that it was 29 99 which was way too much at that moment instantly remembered that most new releases were for sale through the kindle store at 99 and the UNK UNK opened couldn get it out of my head for few days went to target and held the device in my hand good stuff so the next day went for it bought the wi fi version 139 99 thinking that didn need 3g access and then the next day after way too much debate bought the kindle case made for it UNK 99 here is what have discovered hope this helps you if you are like me and completely UNK over this decision the actual device it is small and thin the new charcoal color of the device is sleek and easy on the eye do recommend getting case asap as it could easily to slip right out of your hand the page turning buttons are genius they are just off to the right or left side easy to push and the placement is perfect for holding it with one hand like that the forward and back buttons are the same on both sides eliminating UNK the buttons are easy to work and was surprised that it is no trouble to go back to actual buttons from using touch screen iphone for so long it is qwerty keyboard which makes it easy to get around actually like the non touch screen for change it keeps my UNK fingers off it the on off really more like on sleep button is on the bottom along with the headphone jack the charging input and the volume buttons for the reading voice or music display it reads super well it is easier on my eyes than anything can read in any condition except in the dark which am ok with the bottom of the screen displays the percentage read and sometimes say am going to read UNK today it also puts little arrow where you start and if you read bunch you will be able to look back and see how far you have gone it shows the locations as well but haven quite figured out how that works do wish it would tell you what chapter number and what page on that chapter you are on because like to see how much is left in given chapter but that might be limited ability based on how the text is UNK to fit the device reading reading the kindle is simple and easy can see it from any angle can read it outside the transitions of the pages are fast and the words show up quickly you will need light at night though which isn too bad at all there are settings where you can change the size of the font kindle vs physical books have found so many simple ways that this blows reading physical books out of the water can read with one hand the whole time not just until finish one page when reading books you have to turn the page moving your other hand and then adjusting your angle of view it is constant movement with the kindle you can get comfortable and could literally read for hours without having to move if you didn do anything else with it can lay in bed with it UNK up on my UNK and only have to hold it with one hand with physical book would have to use two hands or one for only short time if you want to lay physical book on the table it works well if the page you are on is in the middle allowing each side to lay easily but as you all know when one side gets lighter it wants to flip over requiring you to hold it down not so with the kindle it UNK there in the same position all the time no need to adjust your view many books have different UNK and even page colors the kindle is the same every time so you can get used to it and its always the same plus for me wi fi vs wi fi 3g since wi fi only and 3g wi fi model are virtually the same size and weight think there are factors at play being able to download book anywhere don think need this being able to instantly share via facebook or twitter quote this is maybe need for me and being able to sync where you left off on another device so you can continue reading or be able to sync where you finished on your kindle so you can continue reading somewhere else later this is the UNK possible need for me have the wi fi only now and am still UNK if it is worth another 50 bucks screen size before purchasing the screen size was huge doubt at first for me but after having it and reading it it feels perfect it takes little getting used to but since have an iphone am used to small screen the kindle is an upgrade as far as size goes now if you have been reading on the ipad you might need to get ready for an adjustment in size also what caught me off UNK is that feel like am making more progress because the pages are little smaller so am not sitting on the same page for very long as compared to larger hardcover book this feels lot like personal preference to me some people might rather have the dx like the portability of the and the size works for me for reading note taking highlighting this was probably the biggest negative in my mind when considering the kindle love marking in my books and have system of symbols that use but the kindle actually UNK this process can literally highlight anything want whenever want can also add note anywhere after note is made it saves it and puts footnote type of number next to the word you chose this lets you know where it is and how many notes you have made anytime can go to the menu and access my notes and highlights to see at UNK incredible you can also share quote right to twitter or facebook from within the book you are reading if you are connected with wi fi searching dictionary you can search any book or document you have on the kindle by UNK no more flipping pages trying to find that quote you can remember also there is dictionary built right in and while you are reading you can click down to most any word and it will give you reference and definition on that word if you want more details with one click you can go into the dictionary for much more emailing documents you can email pdf documents right to your device literally and you can read them like any other book kindle on other devices this is probably one of the coolest innovations of the kindle they have software for most devices for example have home computer mac work laptop UNK and an iphone as my other devices and have downloaded the kindle application on each of those now any book that purchase on the kindle store is on each device no joke so can read on any device that have including an ipad when and if get one the best part is no matter what device am reading on if decide to quit and as long as am connected to the internet can continue right where left off on any device it will literally ask you if you want to continue where you left off on the exact device you were on crazy awesome battery life since it takes no power to hold the words in place on the screen the kindle is advertised to be able to go up to month on single charge without using wi fi so far so good with wi fi they say weeks we will see the charging is much like that of an ipod or an iphone prices and purchasing have only purchased and looked for books and as said above about the UNK of UNK most new releases are 99 there also seems to be many UNK that run from time to time and you can get books at great deals have found couple even for free have yet to look at magazines or periodicals yet have only used it for reading books and little pdf reading storage advertised at being able to hold 500 books am excited about having my entire library on my kindle and UNK my other devices in years this will be bookshelves on one device that is smaller than one UNK book case man UNK over this one there are UNK of cases but mainly for the kindle which is slightly bigger in overall size it is UNK as it is the same screen size so it may be advertised the same so be careful went with kindle black leather cover UNK 95 little expensive but well worth it to protect this guy got it at target which meant didn have to wait it is the one that doesn have the light which might be an option if find myself needing light more often love it it is smaller than thought and adds just enough weight to the device to allow it to feel good but not too heavy it seems to be durable and the elastic band holds the case closed or open when fold it behind it to read also kindle new UNK UNK lock in system is incredible holding the kindle in place was bit of skeptic here but after using it it really doesn move at all overall if you read books buy one asap don think have ever been more pleased with device you might have some questions questions why not the ipad didn say wouldn buy an ipad but love having single dedicated device for my reading and library that every other device computers iphone future ipad UNK around for this particular area why not the nook for one thing the battery life on the kindle is better the nook has colored bottom UNK that requires more juice the buttons and color of the kindle are better for me can say for sure but think that the prices and selection are better for the kindle but the intention is the same and love that barnes and noble came out with one it drove the price down for the kindle UNK UNK like books real books why change over well like books too real books but when go on trip would like to take my UNK books with me in one device rather than only that are weighing me down in my carry on bag it is so hard to change and adapt to new technology why should bother well you don have to bother but you are probably trying to find new player for your UNK UNK and UNK for your UNK UNK you need to realize that while it takes work UNK is part of life and its awesome conclusion love the fact that amazon has focused its energy into developing product that does one thing incredibly well it is truly an excellent device and hope they don get sucked into needing to UNK pack it with other features it is an awesome thing to have something that is so simple and so good at one thing leave the extras and all in one devices to apple its what they are good at way to go amazon for making great ebook reader love to help if you have other questions more pictures at my blog the link is in my amazon profile page 1 you have to get one this is the best thing have ever bought it makes reading an absolute pleasure read more now than ever did before highly recommend anybody to purchase kindle 1 love it was able to load books on my new kindle right out of the box and have had no problems using it my only complaint is have the darker one and it is rather hard for me to read the letters on the pad and wonder if the white one would have had easier to read letters doubt that will be typing much in other than to organize my books so not big problem and after use it awhile it may be easier my husband has lot of doctor appointments and dragging book around was bother where this fits in my purse plus won run out of reading material like did when just took one book with me and finished it before the appointment was over can even read it in fairly dim lighting where couldn do that with my actual books it was great purchase also was torn between the kindle and the sony one but am used to buying most of my books on amazon and that made up my mind 1 kindle for UNK this was easy to use at the UNK getting onto my home wireless was hard to start with because kindle needed the long web address and had to get little help it was the same one that the ipod needed easy to read with and to learn to use the kindle user guide came on the home page of the kindle and walked me straight through the set up so needed minimal help from my techie daughter would like to be able to browse by price in the future and to narrow down selection further by category in addition to price don think that is available yet occasionally type too fast for the little keypad to understand really like the game last word am certain that have more to learn and look forward to traveling with this which will be much better than packing second bag for books 0 misleading advertising just got my new kindle with free 3g well make sure you check the coverage out the 3g is not everywhere live in town full of 3g phones but guess what amazon has no coverage here could have saved 50 bucks and just got the wi fi version it seems to me that amazon should be more UNK in letting customers know this in the same fashion that cell phone UNK do instead they advertise that it good everywhere the device has already froze up three times in one day causing me to call customer UNK to find out had to reboot it by holding the on off switch for 20 seconds and then putting it on the charger for one hour each time because of the energy drain as they recommended then there is the way controller it probably great if your child or UNK woman but if your man with big thumb you will be constantly hitting the back button while trying to use the cursor which will send you out of the area your in causing you to go thru the whole UNK again to get back to where you were it real pain and design flaw other than that it has lot of great features and is easily readable but probably would have held out for an pad had known about the problems with this product you get what you pay for or in my case don get what you paid for 1 but its not book love my kindle that being said it is not book there is something wonderful about holding book in your hand and reading the menus are taking bit of time to get used to the buttons for turning pages don feel very sturdy but love the ease of carrying it around nice weight great for traveling but will still be purchasing books 1 love it received this as gift from my husband for my birthday love it always take one or two books with me when travel and trying to find space in my suitcase was sometimes challenge the kindle has solved the problem it very easy to read the screen and UNK book is breeze it lot faster than going to the library or the store to buy one the greatest advantage is that you can get the latest books and not have to go on library waiting list this is great solution for an avid reader 1 UNK kindle am very satisfied of my kindle it an amazing little device that allow you to never remain alone am reading more then used to and big reader if can make suggestion why don sell for those that can UNK the paper copy of ebook and paperback together at price significantly lower that the sum of two items think that many people would appreciate it 1 love my kindle love my kindle have been using it at home but also UNK up some books as we are going on 12 day cruise and wanted books to read also can say enough good things about my kindle ve seen the others but for the money the kindle is just what wanted and needed it keeps it charge as well as they say it will especially if you leave the wireless off most of the time which do it light it easy to hold and read in most light especially in bright sunlight would recommend this unit to anyone wanting an reader would recommend the UNK lighting for the kindle if you want to read on plane or in bed or where ever the UNK doesn quite fit the kindle but it also isn 60 dollars for cover might eventually buy the cover but right now don really need it all in all buy the kindle you will enjoy it for really long time 1 new to kindle and loving it love my new kindle have been UNK reading have recommended it to all my reader friends have couple of suggestions believe book purchases should include the book name and author at the top not UNK into the bottom would like the see the kindle content show both the book info name and author and price paid so do not have to click through to see what want also it would be excellent if kindle would allow users to check out library books too why can check out library book and just have it UNK on the check in date that would be awesome 1 kindle use like the kindle very much it takes little time to get used to after having books on paper for so long but it is great to be able to have so much information in small device and protecting so many trees from being cut down 1 just an excellent reader kindle is one of the products that just made for one particular use and its really good for it reading text its not good for browsing the internet or any other experimental functions on it even pdf are much better when they are converted to kindle format you can do this by mailing it to your kindle email with the subject convert it does not strain the eye and have great contrast just make sure that the light source is not directly behind you cause it will creates reflection no point in comparing it to the ipad they are different products with different uses overall an excellent product 1 your bookshelf is now only good for kindling like reading but don feel particular attachment to the physical medium of books however since normal lcd devices are UNK as readers short battery life screens are hard to read in daylight and cause eyestrain even indoors figured was stuck with books despite their UNK to get UNK gather dust look UNK after one reading and make moving house UNK kindle as you may know solves the limitations of other UNK devices for reading by having black and white screen that while not suited to the UNK UNK you see on other UNK devices uses very little battery and is easy to read in any light its competitors offer similar screen and can comment on how those compare to the kindle since have not tried them but the nice UNK made me happy enough with the kindle to buy two one for my UNK and one for myself some of the features particularly like are the free 3g web connection probably worth the price by itself and the native pdf support although the text to speech feature is disabled for pdfs which feels bit like amazon UNK UNK the experience doubt text to speech requires anything specific to the kindle format with these two features available as well as the free out of copyright books available through the kindle store you could buy kindle and enjoy it without ever spending another dime but the paid extras are addictive like UNK the latest novels from amazon with couple of clicks and pretty soon wanted fancy leather case some of which are pushing towards the same price range as the kindle itself you can understand the supply and demand situation the UNK of these cases UNK because it surprisingly hard to find case that is exactly the right size without being specifically designed for the device or even if you do and you re male that little carry case is likely to look bit too uh UNK for you to feel comfortable buying it still finding little UNK like the ability to highlight passage and post note on the quote to twitter or facebook the dictionary definition that pops up when you move the cursor next to word is also simple but powerful thing that may be normal for these kind of devices but which found extremely handy after about month of usage my only serious complaint is that the kindle editions of some books seem to be created using UNK which leads to weird typos in some titles ve bought that don seem to have been UNK the most recent book read had UNK to substitute for UNK so you get me instead of the and men instead of then while this is more the fault of publishers than amazon it be nice to see some quality control on books that get released through the kindle store now that the new version of kindle makes it easy to read pdfs it going to be UNK for people to just download UNK ebooks for their kindle and problem like this just gives people an excuse 1 resisted it but now UNK sold have loved books for as long as can remember resisted buying kindle because of my UNK that wouldn enjoy the reading experience as much as with book in fact the kindle is light easy to read and an altogether pleasant experience particularly enjoy reading review going to my kindle buying the book and having it arrive before my very eyes 1 hands up this has been good experience right from the start ease of use and simplicity this product does exactly what it is supposed to book are now coming in many languages thank you amazon 1 kindle is the greatest book reader in the world ve got kindle wifi this is great easy to read so like my reading time with this UNK 1 amazing screen great size for kids purchased this for my granddaughter who loves to read the technology is amazing the screen brightness is wonderful inside or outside the size is really perfect for children but wish it was just bit larger know there is large size available but not within my budget at this time 1 awesome gift is loved by UNK old child easy to use download and so many more uses than just reading books can download games magazine papers dictionaries had problem where screen went blank and kindle wont turn on but called customer assistance and kindle was rebooted in seconds great service guys 0 disappointment first let me state that do enjoy my kindle works great as promised but the original was too big for me then august 2010 used friend 2nd generation kindle and fell in UNK had to have one immediately ordered one next generation even better backordered no problem upon UNK was put off by appearance looked cheap black graphite doesn feel good unlike kindle page button are too small and awkward to use on keyboard keys too small for comfort and the letters are rubbing off now just in love would recommend this just put your hands on one first 1 UNK said have had three friends purchase kindle since purchased mine they were impressed with the product and chose kindle enough said 1 simple is best the kindle is proof that many great ideas are simple this is the best purchase that have made in the past 10 years classic 1 fan bought used first generation kindle about six months ago intended to use it for travel discovered that liked using the kindle more than thought would also discovered much to my UNK that when took the kindle to our UNK home in remote area couldn get wireless downloads because we were in dead zone it was about this time that saw the new kindle and checked to be sure that the wireless would be available in places where travel including our second home really hadn planned to buy new one but did in order to have the added convenience of downloads from most anywhere including the remote north UNK love this kindle since am relatively new to kindle there are many basic things that am learning for instance am sure that read faster the kindle is easier to hold and use than book love being able to adjust the size of the type for the most comfortable reading all in all the reading experience is really very pleasant yes there is something about the feel of real book but say the kindle experience is pretty good and don miss the book experience as much as thought might the new kindle seems nice improvement over the used first generation model bought it lighter thinner smaller handles better and is easier to use the graphite color seems to make the print easier on the eyes it very attractive device think if you travel the ability to download book from almost anywhere is huge plus have used it in most light levels including full sun and think it easy to read anywhere pages turn very quickly maybe faster than turning pages in conventional book but certainly noticeably faster than in the original kindle played with some of the new added features to see to what extent the kindle might serve as device for email and basic internet functions while traveling not very impressed perhaps it because haven UNK enough but think we will still bring our netbook with us when we travel to do email and basic internet functions the kindle is great reader and as far as am concerned that enough if the next generation kindle improves the ease of use of some of those added features they might be more attractive for people who are more tech savvy these features might be draw but they are not for me bought the lighted cover to use with the kindle am very happy with it if you are UNK to use the kindle for travel the built in light is great have also found it very useful for adding additional light when you need it for more comfortable reading experience my husband now has the original kindle he trying it UNK he will upgrade to the 3g wireless very soon one of the previous reviewers wondered if there was enough in the kindle to justify an upgrade if you already own previous generation kindle would say yes very happy with my purchase 1 best book ever purchased this is much better than having book wish kindle was around when was younger 1 amazing kindle first heard about the kindle last year friend offered to buy it for me from the states as she and her husband were UNK there said that books would never be replaced and didn mind bringing heavy and big books with me since bought my kindle last september have been UNK with it it truly is like reading book and for some reason have been able to read more books with it than before thank you kindle am able to become an UNK by saving few trees while at the same time being able to enjoy reading more books everyday 1 love my kindle was very torn between the kindle and the nook but after taking three months to decide after being able to try out both came to UNK that the kindle is what was better price and think is better quality it fits all my needs for reading 1 kindle 3g wireless have been very UNK about leaving my paperbacks felt very UNK holding book in my hand and couldn imagine anything replacing that feeling purchased kindle after seeing friend kindle and falling in love with it it is so UNK and easy to use love that can just start new book anytime anywhere with out having to make time to physically visit book store or my home library the kindle is an amazing unit it is fun modern and easy to use it is definitely great purchase for readers of books newspapers and magazines 1 love my kindle UNK love my new kindle it lightweight easy to read and use really like the fact that can download book at 00 am if am so UNK checked out several readers and was impressed with the kindle far more than the others looked at it has been great purchase 1 nice device with just few minor flaws got my kindle about weeks ago like it because it is very light and with elegant design and it has great functionality the battery life is more than sufficient charged it once when got it for the last weeks ve already read two books and the battery level is still above what consider minor flaw is that the screen gives some glare when trying to read it with an UNK night lamp one has to adjust slightly his reading position which is not really necessary when one is reading real paper book 1 great device had been researching book readers for awhile finally chose this one because of price keyboard download straight to the kindle and because it is made for the purpose wanted to read enjoy it much more than even thought would it is just an amazing device all the free books available for download from amazon is great prices on other books isn so bad from convenience point of view have quite bit to learn on what the kindle is still capable of but it is truly an enjoyable device 1 kindle one of the best purchases have made reading in bed is plus easy to read carry download review previous pages etc books are thing of the past as much as have loved books the kindle makes difference eventually all students will have kindles or similar device 1 kindle bought my kindle about two weeks ago and take everywhere go was in UNK few days later knew would have wait hours had my kindle with me and finished reading my first download after few minutes realized could download another book which did within few minutes had new book to read while waiting for test results just love my kindle love how you can changed the font size check words for their meaning and the screen is so easy on the eyes still learning about all the different functions just love it have UNK to my friends to buy one if you like reading this is the way to go 1 wow this is great ll make this short and sweet love my kindle its easy to use and has battery that lasts forever if you turn of wi fi would recomend the kindle to anyone considering an ereader kindle is by far the best out there my UNK has the sony ereader and still like the kindle better again its light and easy to carry around and its very simple to click buy and auto send to your device if you re shopping around for an ereader now is the time to pick up kindle before the wait list gets to long 0 UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK es UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK amazon UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK amazon UNK UNK UNK format im reader UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK ebook UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK die UNK UNK usa UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK amazon will UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK es UNK UNK UNK UNK reader UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK touch screen UNK wifi UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK um UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 much better than expected primarily purchased the kindle so could download my school work and be able to take it with me or listen to at night not only is the kindle very easy to read the speech very clear to understand but was also able to email pdf and other files to my kindle email to convert them there are many times when need reference book for UNK and waiting the two days for delivery is not an option when need it for paper due on that day being able to download book in seconds listen to it while do something else such as drive and being able to add UNK in places of extreme UNK is an amazing asset not only will this make huge difference in my UNK can listen to music and when have spare time enjoy reading pretty much any book would want to have been wanting one for quite some time but didn feel would use it very often ve had it only couple of days and have been using it almost UNK showed my mother what all it will do and ve barely figured out the UNK she was so impressed she is going to order one the case with the light is not only great for protection it makes it very comfortable to read in bed spend lot of time studying and enjoy being able to read while falling asleep and the kindle does not cause the pain have from carpal tunnel that regular book does cannot recommend this item enough wish had not waited so long to order it not able to read for very long online because of the monitor backlight but this causes no more eyestrain than reading regular book it is also much easier than printing out chapter long material and trying to read them in bed or other places sure it will actually pay for itself in no time because won have the expense of printing out material need to read this is probably one of the best items have purchased to help me UNK my degree was also very impressed with the assistance received from the kindle support staff when had question the woman took the time to answer my questions and explain to me how to do the basic things wanted to be able to do with my kindle 1 kindle review am delighted with my new kindle it is making reading pleasure again love that it is slim and lightweight makes reading in bed so much easier the fact that can change the size of the typeface is wonderful and that can look up the dictionary meaning of word in couple of seconds is so helpful to me downloading book in 60 seconds is amazing to me and being able to download files from my computer is wonderful too think the kindle is fabulous invention and ve fallen in love with mine happy reading flip 1 kindle in the UNK ordered online on aug UNK from the UNK but UNK it to my sister who off to college in UNK she received it right on UNK on sept UNK did not get it until she came home for the weekend on october 1st the kindle is very light and slim the pictures cannot UNK this enough until you hold on in your hands it very simple to set up and navigate all my books from kindle for pc were on there by the time it was charged which took hours haven had to charge it since which is two weeks later everyone is freaking out about how clear the screen is they all think it picture on protective plastic the wifi is fine in the UNK but we don support 3g hence the wifi only ve been in the kindle store on it but haven purchased anything yet took it with me on weekend trip and it was great for the long UNK also got an amazon cover in UNK blue which is also great but another review 1 why did wait don know why waited to by the kindle fly regularly and read lot so now can enjoy the flight and connection time without carrying heavier larger books my kindle is now loaded with great material obtained at significant savings the read to me feature is great have the 3g and books are loaded in seconds new to kindle so may not have experienced all the features but will offer this thought if you read and would appreciate large library obtained at significant cost savings in small elegant UNK what are you waiting for 1 UNK kindle love the kindle so easy to travel with and useful ultimately things you might not read you now do because access is so easy 1 kindle iii great screen long battery life easy wifi setup works with windows linux calibre allows linux users to convert free documents for use with kindle tech manuals and UNK reading in convenient package with battery that won let you down huge selection on amazon did say great screen 1 like it would be better if it had backlight for reading night really like my new kindle being able to adjust the font is really nice especially when don feel like wearing my reading glasses the only thing don like about it is it hard to read it at night time for some reason thought it was backlit then checked the product description again and realized it was not backlit do understand that one of the reasons the battery lasts so long is because it is not backlit the battery life is outstanding would rather have to charge it more frequently and have it backlit it would be nice to be able to read it at bedtime without the lights on in the room 1 great device very good ebook reader and the size is much easier to hold and read than the previous generation 0 australian buyers beware the kindle is wonderful product but australian buyers should know that you will not be able to download content from your local library due to different formats if that is not bad enough the books that you can buy through amazon in hard cover may not be available to you in kindle format have found numerous books that were restricted to australian buyers what is the point of having kindle if you can download or purchase the books you want think before you buy 0 broke day after got it love the idea of the kindle display and how it should be so usable and with such high functionality it should have long battery life easy to access books light weight and so much more while all this is true what if it breaks UNK is it still worth it to you the day after received my kindle the screen UNK on its own due to manufacturing defects put it on the nightstand before going to bed and it was working great the next morning part of the screen is frozen and lines are going through it was very excited about this when bought it after what UNK this looks like very fragile piece of technology that may or may not UNK normal use if you are lucky read the other reviews alone about similar problems you have two options if yours breaks have amazon send you new one and hope it works or return it and get your money back if you want them to send you new one and it breaks again you are out of luck and out of money with no UNK read some horror UNK online about this enjoyed my kindle for the time had it and it UNK exactly as described due to its very low reliability and manufacturing problems cannot be confident in being able to own functioning model long term am returning my kindle and will not purchase another in the near future 1 kindle 3g reader recently purchased new latest generation kindle 3g wireless reading device based on past experience with an earlier version that bought for my wife the lower cost is definite plus and the smaller overall size is great too so far haven had any difficulty reading in any available light as the UNK seems to be even better than our old model we briefly considered the larger version but decided on this smaller model as it is much easier to handle and pack for trips and the larger version UNK up against an ipad in terms of cost but without all the ipad features you might be interested to know that downloading reading material on the kindle is quite bit easier and much faster in areas that do not have the best 3g coverage compared with an ipad on the other hand the ipad has terrific graphics and like the more realistic page turning feature really wish the kindle could UNK this as well overall the kindle products are absolutely great for book lovers we had literally run out of shelf space for books in our small home so the kindle works perfectly for us highly recommended 1 UNK just find detail in the kindle uncomfortable when look for the translation of word in the dictionary time to return to the text UNK the original location 1 kindle vs ipad kindle UNK better than ipad am amazed how you can see books check the review in spanish kindle vs ipad in 1 in love with my kindle if you are debating which reader to purchase as did fear no more this is the reader to have now can not tell you how much love this reader had the first sony reader and had it for years and thought that was good but this reader just blows away anything that is out there my only gripe is that wish amazon would allow in the future via firmware update the ability for me to read epub files but in spite of that still love it not only is this reader beautiful on the out side its also piece of art on the inside lot of thought and UNK went into building this wonderful unit kudos to amazon and their engineers check out this youtube video and see how beautiful it is on the inside 1 excellent couldn ask for more used to see all of the wonderful reviews from other customers and thought that maybe the kindle was UNK today received my kindle and as powered it on could not believe my eyes it is truly amazing it looks just like real paper and reads perfectly had my doubts with how it read in direct sunlight so took it outside and was amazed at what saw it reads perfectly in direct sunlight just like the ad says my friends couldn believe it either am very happy with my new kindle wifi and know that will spend many hours using it 1 wonderful product the kindle is book reader and as that is perfect so many products try to do lot of things and do them well but the kindle is digital book reader first and foremost and as that hit home run maybe it would be nice to have built in back light for reading at night but an led works fine maybe will get the fancy cover for christmas everything about the kindle works well buy book and it is magic it just appears on the kindle love reading and have never found it so enjoyable no having to force the book open trouble reading at the binder portion trouble with fonts etc it is just pleasurable reading have been reading so much had to cut costs of the books so every other book read is classic and they are free the website kindle UNK has lot of very good books that sell under great UNK stars easily 1 kindle wireless best gift have received in long time love the convience of getting UNK of book before purchasing take it with me all the time and now no longer bored while waiting for an appointment 1 kindle love this product and the ease of receiving books from amazon it would be nice to have help with putting books on the kindle from an already existing book collection ve also had issues with the screen freezing and having bar across the top of the pages for each of my books UNK lines per page have not had any luck as of yet in UNK this issue through amazon product is great service help does not seem to be as great 1 better than expected ve been looking to buy kindle for years wasn sure if wanted to buy ereader so stuck to my books being in the military traveled alot so usually bring my books with me well decided that it was the time to take my books out of my UNK and get an ereader still wasn sure until saw that the new kindle was cheap so bought the wifi 3g version shipping was quick once got it and started it up and started downloading books everything runs smoothly better than expected love it 1 UNK the kindle ereaders of the past have UNK the joy of reading book the kindle has UNK it it light it sharp and easy to read and it travels very very well UNK new books or other reading material is almost too easy 1 why did wait so long can believe waited so long to put in request for kindle which received as birthday gift ve only had it for brief time but absolutely love it it so convenient carry it with me practically everywhere go think the only thing that could make it better would be if it displayed color images great job amazon 1 love my kindle 3g after playing with my friend new ipad realized the feature liked most about it was the ereader already have an itouch that use for email apps music etc but didn like reading more than few lines on the tiny screen did some research and decided the kindle 3g was just right for my needs had researched previous kindles but until the addition of the 3g feature found it lacking must say it is worth every penny and then some it is small enough to carry it with me everywhere so if waiting at the UNK or waiting for my child to get off the bus can UNK out book and read away my friend with the ipad even said she is little jealous of my kindle especially the fact you can read it in the daylight without problem her ipad tends to UNK and shut down ordered the lighted case with it so can read in bed or at movie with my kids UNK honestly what adult wants to see UNK and dogs the UNK of UNK UNK if you are an avid reader or someone who feels like they don have time to research UNK and read books this is for you highly highly recommend the kindle 3g 1 kindle 3g am just getting to know my kindle but have been impressed with the various options including type size and typeface the kindle is easy to handle and has reduced my eye strain from reading looking forward to taking it with me on my next trip now that don have to pack my heavy books it may even be money saver ll be able to fit everything in carry on 1 kindle review very good product books come so quickly wirelessly love that you can find books on the computer and buy them and it goes directly to your kindle charge lasts long time esp if you turn wireless off when you don need it wish it had light option built in so could read it in the dark very small and compact easy to use can find the option for read aloud where the kindle reads to me when add speakers would love to be able to work while it reads to me sometimes over all very pleased with the item and love that there are some many books available electronically and at such good price UNK books is also such good idea and gives me peace of mind when purchase book know it won be lost if lose my kindle or if it breaks 1 love it even when it stopped working have had the kindle for about month use it for light reading and one magazine subscription overall find myself reading more and UNK some types of books might not usually get into which is great however two days ago it suddenly stopped working the screen literally went blank except for the UNK and menu yes it was UNK charged no hadn dropped it it was not plugged into usb etc so there was no UNK on my part had to be bit of UNK in finding how to access telephone number to talk to someone at amazon about what to do by going to google and then amazon com used their system that has them call your number within about minutes on the phone did get to talk to technical support person for kindle who UNK me in reboot of the kindle holding the on switch for 20 seconds which has solved the problem so far this was far better than having to send it back for warranty fix she claimed that this type of problem was UNK the other minor problem is that black case is sometimes hard to see in crowded room so have put two pieces of blue tape used for UNK on the case which makes it easier to find 1 smaller UNK always better love the new screen contrast and the choice of condensed character and line spacing this makes the new model worth it ergonomically however the new model is much harder for me to handle used to be able to hold the unit with one hand mostly above my head while lying down with my thumb on the front between the screen and the next page button and simply move my thumb over and press down from the top for UNK next page the unit is so small now that can hold it that way without UNK the screen and more importantly can no longer press the next page button the same way sure ll get used to it but have to UNK my hand UNK bit which is causing some strain or move to two hands even two hands not fan of the new buttons though understand it personal preference apparently people were hitting them by accident and some even thought they were too loud the UNK system is sooo close to being usable if they provided some UNK UNK to handle page article titles UNK font UNK etc and some other things love to shut my eyes and listen every so often however given that audio book companies are already giving amazon UNK over this feature and allowing the content to disable UNK doubt much UNK is coming if were blind be really UNK at amazon for UNK also like to see one shot on sync off feature for the wireless so can do an update on demand and have the wireless turn itself off so don forget and have the battery drain the new UNK speakers seem like they sound even better which appreciate because listen to audio books at home and in the car headphones all the time tuck the kindle above the sun UNK try it otherwise it still awsome product 1 kindle personally bought this for my daughter for birthday gift do have one and this it is the best reading device out there easy to use easy to read easy to see in all lighting couldn ask for better 1 best purchase ve made in long time it small and compact great for traveling books appear almost instantly once purchased from amazon 1 my new kindle love my new kindle it was so easy to order convenient to use easy to read and ordering books etc is snap left off one star because someone needs to UNK the books little more find more errors than accustomed to in regular books other than that it great so glad purchased it 0 performance issues getting started was easy and straight forward however the unit has problem UNK up it requires re booting multiple times day if it has been off for few hours this is frustrating since re booting UNK the kindle memory regarding the last page read there has to be better way downloading new books and reading them is very easy 1 beautiful read lot so this is really great tool even though have an ipad now can give up on my kindle 1 kindle 3g ve only had the kindle 3g for about month but so far loving it travel lot and it is very easy to take anywhere with me sometimes only have 10 minutes to spare it easy to open and read chapter or two of one of my UNK books downloaded from the amazon book store no book UNK just open your book and your where you left off 1 easy on the eye very pleased to have this device first the size is not so big and not so small it fits my palm comfortably secondly it is very easy on my eyes even if use it for long time can comfortably read on thirdly UNK easy to handle dictionary japanese so it quite convenient to be able to look up UNK words with its built in dictionary quickly with this tool my way of reading has changed dramatically now enjoying reading both books and magazines more than ever thank you kindle 1 jeff bezos social UNK purchased kindle in september before we took our UNK six month trip to UNK and india my wife saw it and had to have one also so it ordered second one with really not enough time left to get it they were back ordered at the time before we left contacted amazon to see if they might get it here early enough was very impressed at the way their customer service operated when had this issue they said they would do what they could would not promise anything beyond what was stated on the website and my estimated delivery date they did say if it came too late the person getting my packages could simply refuse delivery and there would be no UNK to me it was delivered in time anyway amazon under promises and over delivers many have compared kindle to its ebook competitors it does appear better in most UNK but have been dealing with amazon long enough that would have ordered it anyway in UNK of technical details ll just say it worked out great for both my wife and myself my one problem has been serious travel lot bought and always use the amazon covers for both kindles keep mine in my computer backpack that always carry with me except for few times when put in the car with other luggage usually on top not always apparently my back may have been UNK between some others or something because when arriving at hotel in UNK india noticed the screen was UNK frozen don know how amazon will treat this and will UNK to update this review or write new addendum when find out stuck in UNK and india for the next five months can get this thing fixed one piece of advice it may be more delicate than thought keep the shipping box the kindle comes in put it in that when traveling even though it is pain to remove it from its cover to do so UNK UNK my boxes away my wife kindle still works fine she lets me use it now and then lt update 23 november 2010 when finally got out of india and back to UNK called amazon on UNK and went over what happened turns out they are now selling kindles in UNK they shipped me replacement and returned my old kindle in the box darn didn get the box no charge in fact don think they charged for the international shipping the new one works great took me about minutes to get the amazon stuff from my account back on the 3gs or whatever they use just started working in UNK but did this at my house and it UNK into my wireless network instead another to plug into the usb and download the mobi files for stuff had from gutenberg UNK is great now on very minor complaint is that battery life is more like two weeks than month do use it lot and this is not at all an inconvenience warned plenty in advance and places to plug it in are always available soon enough lt end of update sure bezos saw the writing on the wall and knew he had to UNK the kindle or start losing market share to someone else even so looking at how the kindle is changing my reading habits does make him start to look like bit of UNK UNK many classics are available free or at very low price from amazon if don want to pay can go to something like project gutenberg and download mobi format book for free since always have my kindle with me all the down time have during traveling or waiting for someone or something is now reading time always have something to read if not something purchased from amazon then it could be any one of number of classics have obtained for free and UNK on my kindle just to try out and what do you know the classics really are pretty interesting after all nearly every one try out read all the way through there are books heard about in grade school such as little women and UNK tom UNK books popular in their own time but less known now such as woman named UNK or UNK UNK books by authors such as UNK that thought only UNK read ve enjoyed some of those as much as any of the latest works from current authors if don want to improve my mind exciting trash like the UNK novels of UNK UNK UNK are also free so is amazon losing money not business many of these free classics got from them by me getting all these free books maybe but they gain my business in another way we still like to go to bookstores and browse before if we saw something we like we would buy it on the spot which was more convenient than my normal mode of ordering from amazon and waiting for shipment now we order it on our kindle it seems almost UNK to do that when standing in barnes and noble or borders but hey we still buy their large picture books that are on sale and normally have coffee my wife did not order from amazon before now she does so bezos is getting my money and improving my mind as well this way of reading really works for us so might complain about the screen going bad but have no choice but to get it repaired or order replacement and keep the shipping box bezos has got me hooked 1 kindle review have been wanting to get kindle since first saw it advertised after seeing that the price had dropped to what considered to be affordable bought one am thoroughly enjoying it am an avid reader usually reading books week books have taken over my home they are everywhere now with my kindle can read more books and not have to worry about where am going to keep them also its portability is big plus so easy to carry with you it fits into your pocketbook your backpack anywhere find myself reading in places usually didn before like in line at the market in the passenger seat of the car on the bus just about anywhere you can think of would reccommend purchasing kindle to anyone who enjoys reading also the selection of books for kindle is endless 1 forget reading kindle until try to turn the page this is my first kindle but not my first reader had the nook first but could not get as many technical books for it as could with the kindle gave the nook to my sister and ordered the new kindle so far after about month and only having to reset it once love it bought the leather cover so for while kept trying to turn the page as though it were paperback it felt so natural in my hands the kindle fits perfectly in my purse and lets me carry library of books with me not quite library yet but it wont be long depending on my mood can read novel or technical manual the wi fi setup and ordering was breeze being able to adjust the fonts is plus for me and another reason why don miss printed books just bought light for it so can try night time reading again all for saving trees and the kindle is wonderful alternative 1 kindle inches latest generation great very impressed by this product before this equipment had UNK from endless idea that was very slow and with low resolution with kindle latest generation have many features like screen rotation dictionary greater page turning speed very satisfied can read almost every type of ebook mobi format is very clear and doesn need any adjustment the price is cheap pdf is difficult to read but not impossible 1 exceptional tool it is probably counter productive to write kindle review at this point but like having my say on the issues so here it goes each person experience with the kindle or nook is completely UNK on the product they receive either faulty or as advertised and seem to have received good product in the kindle however it is quite the UNK with the nook have both first generation nook and the UNK generation wi fi kindle the kindle is much better device than the nook for several reasons the wi fi connection is faster and cleaner there is no UNK freezes one can get with the nook touch screen the nook has touch screen which UNK you to navigate your nook through little slip of screen at the bottom of the device which can become problematic especially when one is trying to download books from their online library plus if one has UNK UNK like myself and cannot stand fingerprints on otherwise clean screens the nook will drive you crazy no matter how much clean off the touch screen it still looks UNK the downloading process for the kindle is smoother and quicker than with the nook am not asked by kindle to constantly be downloading newer versions of software that take up time and eventually cause problems for the nook there are more selections for the kindle as far as accessories are concerned have purchased reading light UNK cover and UNK slip case all of which have been perfect UNK UNK the reading screen on both devices is virtually the same both have UNK push buttons on the side of the device that allows you to move back and forth between pages the format of the books the quality of books and magazines and such are essentially the same you get the same books on amazon that you can get on UNK com registration and UNK are the same on both sites neither site gives you more or less hassle than the other have found that the customer service for the kindle is better than the customer service for the nook always have problems with barnes and nobles customer service UNK not understanding what am trying to tell them or they are simply UNK amazon as of yet has not ill treated me essentially it comes down to the product and the customer service for me and can only speak for myself amazon kindle has been the better of the two products 1 my kindle absolutely love it so much so that my husband wanted one so bought him one now have bought more for daughter son in law son daughter in law for christmas and then discovered that this thing this amazing kindle would actually read my book to me either with speakers or headphones wow my daughter in law who loves to read thought she would always want to hold real book but then she realized that taking kindle on holidays would save lot of room in her suitcase and that it would be much easier and more convenient to take her kindle to read on her way to work on UNK transit another point my husband and are both UNK years old so this product certainly UNK the generations no more heavy books weighing down our arms as we read in bed 1 happy but still not absolutely certain cons battery life not living up to expectation set yes the wi fi is turned off but seem to be UNK four days there appear to be bugs that got through to the public release of this device UNK freezes this means long moments of functionality and then what appears to be UNK freeze that will not let go no matter how much you turn it off and on recent firmware update may have settled this issue as no longer run into it key UNK for some reason using key UNK would cause the kindle to pause for long moment this has become less so the kindle is overly thin to be comfortable in my hands one becomes used to it and on the UNK side of this it is the first reader that has been comfortable to read while it sat in cover usually would take them out why has it been made impossible to use your own images as sleep mode screen saver no epub support remember when sony made the mistake of not using mp3 file formats for their music players big mistake pros the screen is beyond compare very beautiful and easy to read even at the smallest font size and very dim light the physical key pad is nice thought it would be distracting or cumbersome it is not the page turns are quick and the buttons are easy to use you can buy this in best buy and if you are serious about your purchase you can get wear and tear accidental damage warranty it covers what the standard warranty does not did you sit on your kindle and break the screen go down to best buy and use your paid for warranty got caught in the rain and your kindle is UNK no longer working take it back to best buy amazon has selection that is UNK have books on my kindle and in my wishlist that are favorites of mine books that go to like old friends in times of need most other sellers just don have these calibre will convert most books and documents into compatible version for your kindle all of your books are together the nook will keep purchased books seperate from your drm free documents epub books UNK what wonderful thing can separate my books into currently reading already read UNK favorites this makes world of difference when you are true book reader don just read novel then the next then the next no like to reread non fiction alot can get bored with novel go read short story then go back to the novel was on or read two or three novels at once plus have some books that sit in UNK for little while and when have become UNK with all else those books get picked up the point is the kindle lets you organize to your own UNK have been happy thus far with amazon customer service and with the UNK am still leery about something you can not change battery on 1 great product have an ipad that used as an ereader until purchased my kindle the kindle is far superior as an ereader find that read more while using the kindle have no problem placing myself in the story while using the kindle it reads like book can say the same for the ipad recommend the kindle to anyone looking for an ereader great product 1 passion for reading re kindled absolutely love this product although new technology tends to UNK me off the kindle is easy to use convenient in the extreme and small enough to UNK around with me anywhere read at least two books week and now they are all in one place no bulk no dog UNK pages and choices UNK thank you for making my passion for reading more than pleasurable experience 1 love it as librarian wasn sure how would adapt to an ereader it is wonderful especially like the pop up word definition feature its thin size makes it easy to slip into my purse find can read few pages when am running UNK as will end up waiting some where while will continue to use printed books the kindle will be my choice for personal reading 1 kindle is the best after looking into or other reading UNK decided the kindle would do what thought would best meet my needs find was right it does everything hoped for and more through amazon the books want to read are priced very UNK and has very good selection which is an added bonus have recommended it to many after owning it for few short weeks 1 super kindle this is one of the greatest UNK for readers my young son loves reading he UNK the kindle wherever he goes because all his favorite books are always with him 1 fantastic for ebooks and pdf fantastic device really simple to use and it delivers what it promises an incredible reading experience am using it under linux using calibre software for book conversion in case of epub and have already experienced with it reading ebooks and pdf the pdf reading UNK me wasn sure about how readable would that kind of file on the screen but most of the documents use UNK size originally render amazingly and the graphics and photos are perfect fantastic for carrying my study books another thing that UNK me is how fast it renders the page have used other ebook readers and was very UNK because of how slow they were kindle is just another world the page turns very fast and that does not UNK UNK at all beautifully UNK love it UNK 1 total UNK this was one of the best gifts have ever given to my wonderful wife thanks to your kindle 1 love at first sight about five or six years ago amazon came out with an amazing invention called the kindle because have an amazon account was notified of the kindle existence the day it launched clicked on the link that said something like what kindle read all about it and fell instantly completely in love knew wanted one with all my heart and knew someday if ever had the disposable income would have one also knew that new technology starts out buggy and expensive so the fact that would have to wait was less painful than it might have been so what kindle for anyone who doesn know it is what is now called an reader or electronic book you can go to amazon com to learn all about it but let me highlight some of the fantastic features that made me fall so hard and so fast the kindle can hold 500 books in its memory weighs less than paperback and is maybe third of an inch thick now am great lover of books and reading may be my all time favorite UNK had UNK rather large library which never got unpacked when made the move to UNK years ago was perfectly happy to use my town library and must admit that the books owned had become more of UNK over years of moving them from place to place than joy to own so was enjoying borrowing books rather than owning them more with each passing year then some unfortunate weather events combined to UNK my packed away books which were in an UNK it was UNK loss and could not imagine attempting to replace them as age become less UNK to accumulate stuff even if it is stuff love the fact that my library had been destroyed seemed like UNK to me but the minute saw the kindle knew could own personal library of books again as many as could ever read the kindle has thousands of books you can download for free if money tight can archive an unlimited amount of books for you and still keep that 500 ready to read instantly in my mind eye could UNK one of those libraries you see in UNK or UNK in movies you know two or three stories of just books with those UNK on wheels to get you to any book you might want that could carry that around in my purse made me weak with UNK and so waited and waited finally my time came the latest versions of kindle are completely amazing and the standard by which all other books are UNK the most expensive model is half the price of the first kindle that UNK my heart and mind years ago this past monday not one but four kindle were delivered to my home one for me of course two for my daughters and one for dear friend cannot imagine ever giving better gift frankly what could top having all the world great writing at your fingertips kindle offers over 700 000 titles at the moment and adds more with each passing day so monday night slipped into bed with my kindle after much UNK had chosen novel by one of my favorite authors john UNK to be my UNK read the room was dark and the reading light attached to my kindle UNK beautiful UNK blue UNK UNK onto my page the pages UNK into one another as they turned to say it was UNK experience of pure delight does not do it justice so yes in love with my kindle know it will be my constant and true companion for the rest of my days it will never show me anything do not wish to see nor tell me anything do not wish to hear did mention the kindle has voice and can read thousands of the books it offers if you wish to be read to so here what think love is UNK 1 mi UNK oacute UNK

wife is feeling UNK she says am spending more time with the kindler than with her we have been UNK for over 25 years so think we can weather this but if you are UNK would UNK this purchase love the kindle but did add cover to protect it since want to take it with me everywhere do enjoy the ability to change the font size as late at night it makes it easier to see enjoy the variety of books but how to do it books do not lend themselves to the small screen size great product 1 kindle rocks ve had my kindle for about month now it is everything had hoped it would be battery life is fantastic and clarity of the screen is exceptional did lot of research and kept coming back to the kindle because was looking for true reader and that is what got 1 nearly perfect ebook reader owned kindle2 UNK and ipad do think that this generation is the best ebook reader that ever had although there still missing word when reading chinese 1 love the kindle love my new kindle it is easy to use easy to load it is very light weight so easy on the arms it travels well love it 1 enjoy lightweight reading love my new kindle no more laying in bed at night with book pushing on my UNK or my arms tired from holding up book also love the adjustable print size and line spacing if choose to enlarge the print can even read without my reading glasses 1 kindle love this product enjoying it very very much just one thing am so used to my apple phone that am constantly trying to touch the panel to make selections rather than using the little joystick to move around 1 reluctant owner initially was against the idea of reading book on an electronic device how could something on screen compare with holding book in your hand but as you can see from my rating that has now changed don get me wrong still love reading old school but the kindle is amazing the only con is that it is so easy to purchase and download books have only had my kindle for two weeks and have already finished to books and am currently reading my third there is now eyestrain no accidental lose of your place because your bookmark fell out no glare reading in the sunlight and it is so light and easy to carry with your wherever you go

UNK in UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK ebook reader UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 century edition we re still testing the kindle but my partner and are thrilled we believe that in the short term we will draw him lot out for their studies and our love of reading the screen is of medium size large or small no UNK almost nothing and is of quality at least in appearance very good the feel is great the back is something UNK suppose to prevent UNK the buttons are placed very comfortable UNK but the key thing just purchase my fingers shades of gray are sufficient create look at some pictures of super pencil in hand the battery life is more than enough roughly UNK to books read the internet connection at least amazon store is very quick and easy we are still UNK to transfer the files to amazon kindle notes and personal papers but everything else is great great buy my family are already asking their kindle for christmas 1 excited have wanted an book for so long but whenever had the money saved to buy one something in the house broke and there went what had saved for my birthday my children and husband went together and bought me kindle and was so excited as this was fairly high birthday worried about learning how to use it have had it for almost week and am about to finish my second book it is so easy to learn how to get books and read them just love it recommend the kindle for anyone who loves to read no matter their age old dogs can learn new tricks 1 kindle 3g wifi could not be more pleased easy to use easy shopping for books easy to hold for long periods of time if had one wish it would be for more books to be made available but realize that will happen over time the selection is very extensive now and can only get better 1 latest kindle far superior to original purchased the original kindle for UNK about 30 days after it was originally introduced have downloaded over 50 books and subscribed to daily newspaper on this device unfortunately the next page tab on the right side of the device started to stick and the toggle wheel used to move the cursor and select items was quite clumsy the sprint network though functional was sometimes slow and could not get on the network anywhere in western UNK when traveled there last summer had to replace the battery and found the new one was not as good as the original when the price of the new kindle with wireless capability came out for 139 thought it was time for an upgrade am very pleased with the design improvements of the new device the clarity of the fonts and photos on the screen has improved substantially find that can now read easily without getting my UNK also find that the wireless is quite easy to use and can download my books and newspapers much quicker than could using the sprint network the controls on the new kindle are much more functional than the original and seem to be designed to function longer than those on the original device the battery seems to last at least three times longer than the battery on the original device before needing to be recharged my only criticism in the the thinness of the next page and previous page controls on either side of the device though easy to use when holding the device while sitting in chair find using these controls more difficult the controls of the original while laying the device down when reading in bed my advice for original kindle UNK who have to replace their battery or find your controls to start to stick upgrade to the new device you will be happy you did 1 excellent for reading and also for something more obviously it not an ipad or google tablet but it excellent for reading books it useful also for reading other documents but my kindle has sometimes too small display for big formatted pdf even if you modify the display orientation and zoom very useful the web UNK and the social networking stuff the choices of newspapers magazine blogs for the european users are too narrow the lack of italian titles is obviously due to our publishers and does not depend on amazon it very interesting the digital platform for publishing on kindle 1 best reader on the market did lot of research before purchasing an reader and finally bought the kindle reasons being fast page turns built in dictionary highlighting note taking feature free internet access when the kindle came out jumped on the bandwagon again because the promise of 50 better screen contrast was UNK ve been using it for few weeks now and constantly UNK by how crisp and white the screen looks the contrast is amazing and the addition of the new font sans serif makes it so much easier to read the page turns are unbelievably fast and if you blink you might miss it it certainly faster than turning page manually on book the size of the kindle was little disconcerting at first it so much smaller than the k2 but am loving how thin and portable it is the new locations of the home menu and back buttons are ideal also the page turn buttons now turn with no clicking noise if you press the top bottom end of the button instead of the middle you practically eliminate all sound just tip if you want to access the numbers without pressing symbol just press alt key in top row the letters on the top row UNK with the numbers have used my kindle for driving directions UNK net when my gps failed and it comes in handy for UNK long waiting lines the wi fi feature is also great addition you can email personal documents to your free kindle com address remember to put the word convert as the title and nothing else and it will convert and download directly onto your kindle via wi fi 1 news UNK for the UNK UNK the english times everyday UNK delivered by silent system not UNK UNK from bed shop purchase or tip to the paper kid UNK to be delivered dry in all UNK books on the UNK spare room in the holiday suitcase and cheap too joy 1 my kindle3 am enjoying the convience of the kindle3 it is easy to read and can look up words and find their meaning with the kindle dictionary never loose my place and when turn my kindle on it at the place last left it it only takes seconds to order and receive book am very happy and satisfied with my kindle UNK 1 kindle 3g wi fi received my kindle weeks ago and am thrilled firstly with the reader and secondly now with 3g the reader is functional in south africa which makes the kindle store available to me have downloaded number of books and am amazed at the speed the books are received on the kindle add to this the quality of the print and the ease of use this has got to be the best reader on the market 1 UNK great idea brilliant product promise of fairly inexpensive book UNK no printing or other costs associated with publishing however the promise of reduced costs has UNK newly released books are more expensive than the hard cover money grab see ken follett latest fall of giants for this kindle UNK will not be purchasing any books priced this way and will continue to purchase hard covers or paperbacks to share with friends urge others to join in the growing UNK read not UNK 1 kindle rocks didn think would like the kindle thought books should be book not some gadgets from some UNK fi tv show well got one for my birthday and it totally rocks have the k3 kindle love it don have to worry about losing my place it saves the last page read for every book not just the last book so can go to different book and go back and finish from where left off read at work and get UNK several times day it so light and that is good for me don see to well and need my books to be large print and but large print books can be so heavy the k3 is light as feather more or less can read in direct sunlight and with all the windows in my post that is problem would give it UNK if could 1 never wait for book again my husband has wanted to buy me kindle since they first made their UNK always refused thinking that needed the UNK of holding book in my hands just couldn think of reading my books from computer screen it just didn seem relaxing recently saw commercial for the kindle and told my husband might look more into it he jumped at the interest and bought me one absolutely love it it does not look at all like computer screen but like normal sheet of paper the best thing is that my yr old can pull my bookmark out and loose my place read at night so he bought me cover for it as well with the light if you read in the dark you ll need this as it not backlit no longer have to search the bookstore in my small UNK or wait for an ordered book to be delivered find what want in the kindle store and voila 30 seconds later on to another story just cannot say enough good about this product if you love to read you ll love it 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device wi fi just love my kindle haven had it very long but like to go in and get the larger print also getting books is dream they just download it for you wonderful product would say everyone should have one 1 poor customer service co UNK of mine bought his wife kindle for her birthday and gave it to her this week she was having problems getting it to work properly and contacted customer support they want her to pay 28 to help her would think that they could see that it has never been used before and at least make an attempt to help her before starting to make money off of her 1 better than kindle while would not have been in the market for kindle had not damaged the screen on my kindle the improvements between the two are notable the kindle is lighter more compact and easier to handle than its predecessor downloading my previous book purchases was intuitive and fast so could get up and running quickly if choosing between the two would recommend the kindle given my experience with UNK the kindle would definitely recommend using protective cover the UNK that function like book cover and stay attached to the kindle at all times are worth the investment kindle UNK are nearly as expensive as replacing the unit and the number of UNK services is limited 1 kindle really pleased with this product it is lightweight but easy to read haven had time to read the manual yet but was able to download books and start using it right away glad the price came down so could afford it feel it is well worth the money 1 UNK have owned the kindle wifi 3g for about month now and have never been so pleased with anything in all my life it is the most amazing product that have ever owned and wouldn take nothing for the satisfaction that the kindle gives me love to read and used to read from my computer but this is so amazing will not leave the house without it thanks amazon you have really over did yourself this time keep the amazing products coming 1 love my kindle this is my second kindle first got the 2nd generation kindle and loved it then the third gen came out for almost half the price and smaller and lighter so decided to get it and pass on my first one to my UNK for her bat UNK she loves it my only complaint about my new kindle is the need to always find wifi connection with my first one and the whispernet service could connect to the amazon store anytime anywhere now first have to find connection and that not always easy for the most part ve solved that problem by downloading lots of books so if traveling won need to find new connections really like the new games that have been added and my UNK is now addicted to them too one thing would like to see in the near future would be the ability to borrow ebooks UNK from the library 1 UNK reading experience very good product does not give eye strain and gives hours of pleasurable quality reading time 0 kindle supports big brother returned the kindle UNK when read the terms conditions not only can you not sell the thing when you UNK tired of it you re basically UNK the right to use it but they have the right to look at the software and contents of the kindle whenever its wi fi connects to the net this is billed as service and it is true they have some nice features that come with the net connection however worry whenever someone says they have the right to look over my shoulder anytime they want if want company to know my reading habits etc ll tell them myself not be reported on by my UNK book reader computer etc 1 absolute best device and amazon takes care of it customers this is my second kindle had the 2nd generation us based model first this new 3rd generation model is the same plus more it brighter higher contrast and faster it smaller and lighter and it got more ways to connect just love it but the reason decided to do review was UNK enough because mine broke it amazon customer support which really made this device that can truly recommend to anyone the screen just stopped working on mine so called amazon and they walked me through couple of steps to try and UNK the problem upon deciding that the device was somehow not communicating to the screen they quickly sent out new unit via day shipping it UNK to be here tomorrow and also provided me with pre paid label to send back the broken one it just UNK totally fantastic product to have it backed up with such first rate support infrastructure thank you amazon UNK 1 gotta get one this is my first kindle so can compare it to previous units but in the short period of time ve had it wish had purchased one earlier use it daily and it goes everywhere with me it easy to use very easy to read the text and the battery life is awesome ve always been big reader but have started reading even more since the purchase the size is perfect to hold in one hand also purchased the carrying case to go with it and it protects the unit and doesn get in the way while reading ve been trying to think of any cons on this purchase but honestly don have any 1 no longer good investment have now purchased kindles one as gift am disappointed in the continued increase in the cost of books at the time of the UNK felt the prices for books were worth the investment in the kindle no longer feel that way we will UNK purchasing books if the price continues to increase for the first time am very disappointed in the way amazon is doing business 1 very good for what it does have had my kindle for few days now am very impressed with the screen style and he simplicity of the device it does this one thing and it does it very well the transitions are little strange it makes the screen negative then changes pages then comes back with the new screen in normal color it was strange at first but now am used to it and kind of like it the text reader is also brilliant and sounds UNK enough for me to be very impressed there is also program called calibre that will convert files like epub for you into mobi or pdf which both work on the kindle it will recognize the kindle too and allow you to add the converted text on from inside the program 0 kindle for international shipment is rip off beware ordered kindle gen for international shipment this version has no charger you can only charge by mini usb port however this international version is the same price 139 as us version which includes charger why amazon take out charger which costs 19 usd and still keep the retail price is 139 usd we all know there always adaptor for the charger from any UNK would like amazon to answer this question so don be UNK to buy international version anyone bought international version should ask for free us charger without extra cost 1 kindle wi fi is the best love to read but haven done much of it lately because UNK has UNK my eyesight and books in large print are limited and expensive the cost of the kindle is equivalent to about dozen books that can read also for my use and most people know there is no reason for the extra expense of the 3g if you download several books at time while near wi fi you ll never run out of reading material downloading is fast and easy and amazon com has loads of free books that are published in the last couple of years this product is far above what expected 1 this is my great library once get the kindle first time don know what is the book want to read and keep in my kindle but when found ha my kindle is the my library that keep only my lover book love this kindle and love that website never put kindle down until sleep you too you can make your owner library and save to not buy UNK from store and you will love the kindle more 1 the kindle is great both my wife and do lot of reading we recently moved and the libraries we moved UNK for lot of the weight we had to ship we still have six bookcases and large UNK full of books being able to get books on the kindle is saving us lot of room and money wouldn recommend the wifi but the 3g is great it easy to carry and take it to all appointments and UNK else may have to wait while 1 kindle is super the kindle reader bought for my wife is super easy to use the 3g connection works almost everywhere simple one click shopping what do you want more 1 great device for the reader the kindle is wonderful love it its so much easier to read book on the kindle owned an older kindle and the new one is greatly improved the words are easier to read and pages turn alot faster am very UNK with my kindle 1 month update ve had my kindle for months and love it all the more can read much faster than with printed books because can set the text to the size that most comfortable for me and then get into flow turning the page is UNK action and don even think about navigation just do it it become second nature the display is very comfortable on the eyes more comfortable than printed book the kindle is lightweight and you can just hold it in one hand and flip the pages with your thumb get tired after while change hands the page buttons are on both sides beats laptop hands down there are absolutely no bells and whistles on kindle everything is there for reason UNK finding books and reading them do not follow UNK lists and amazon has by far the most wide ranging selection of books they ve often surprised me by having books that some bookstores claim are simply not available the kindle is for readers it does one thing and does it beautifully 1 the best love this product read so much sometimes or books at time this is perfect for me am still learning how to use it and downloads for UNK than amazon are next to impossible but still worth the money 1 love this thing after amazon finally shipped it took over week to even ship it finally arrived ve down loaded few books easy to do and started reading the info book does not contain much info but it easy to figure out like wondered how you bookmarked book so you could get back to where you left off kindle will automatically go to where you were when you shut it off the same if you have more than book you are reading when you choose the book you are reading kindle goes to the page you were last at it very easy to read the contrast seems like could read outside if wanted too ve read others saying they have done that overall this is great ve been debating whether or not to buy my wife one so we don get in each others way when we want to read 1 love new edition have crack in screen called customer service next day send me new one excellent customer service 1 love my kindle had been wanting reader for some time my husband told me to look at all of the reviews and see which one was the best did and decided on the kindle my husband ordered it for me and received it three days later good service after playing with it and learning about it my husband decided he would order one for himself same great service my sister has birthday coming up and knew she would love one so ordered her one also and she loves hers as much as do mine the kindle is so easy to read and so easy to work with for me it would have to be lol it downloads my books within minute of my order so can go right to reading it is so light never UNK it would be so light and book sure would never be this light love everything about it it all the UNK said it would be and then some anyone wanting good reader kindle is the best 1 better than advertised enjoy reading but have UNK full of books that take up lot of space that no longer need to use this kindle device is simply amazing it take me less than 20 seconds to download book and it ready to read no involved the print is clear and like the fact that the battery lasts around month without recharging thank you for an amazing reading device 1 for non english speaking readers UNK and in my country it is really complicated to access english literature only en very specialized spots this device definitely resolved many UNK problems for me not only the shipment costs from amazon itself but delivery problems and so on it is wonderful device very light and with very useful interface 1 kindle 3g latest generation works globally love my kindle but then loved my first generation kindle think they are wonderful way of reading how else could person walk around with say UNK books all in tiny lightweight ereader know it has gotten me back to reading again can wait to add sample book to see if it suits my taste so easy to purchase or delete this kindle version is very speedy with voice UNK to let you know where you are up to in your reading not important but nice very quick access to kindle store plus battery lasts much longer before need to charge kindle can read it anywhere with no glare just love it 1 the kindle is great for grad students UNK UNK this device is tremendous it is helping me with my UNK in addition to books for pleasure am able to easily convert pdf files of journal articles have UNK for reading to the kindle directly from the college library server can send the pdf of the journal article right to my kindle via mail putting convert in the subject line of the mail kindle UNK the pdf file into kindle friendly format and put it in collection folder for the appropriate class or research while reading it can highlight as would on paper copy the highlights are automatically saved in file called my clippings the my clippings file is easily transferred to my mac or pc if you are pc user via the provided usb cable today read several articles highlighted items to be UNK or direct UNK and transferred my clippings to my computer it kept me organized good UNK note cards amazing 1 love my kindle easy to download books and easy to read when my eyes tire late in the day simply enlarge the font 1 very cool but miss back light bought the kindle for my daughter 10th birthday she an avid reader and takes her books with her everywhere so thought the kindle was great idea she loved it only caveat is she likes to read in the car and it always bothered me that she didn have enough light bought the kindle without realizing it had no backlight for night reading it would be great if there was function just for nighttime rather not carry around book light the other caveat is there are not whole lot of books to download for her age range appropriate young adult found out of book list given by her school there were out of 25 books that were available to download she does love it though 1 great am an online student at university of UNK and am able to download my text books to the kindle and take them with me this is along with the books am reading for fun and copy of the bible that take with me to church on UNK 1 great reading device the 3rd gen kindle is great the only ways to improve it are lower the price increase the amount of content available specifically textbooks use color ink display increase the display size allow for kindle books to be lent to other kindle owners 1 in word brilliant the kindle ebook reader is absolutely brilliant could go on and on about why it so good but let just say did my research and tried few other ebook readers and this is hands down by far the best ebook reader on the market it what the ipod is to the mp3 market scary thing is future generation kindles will get even better with the experimental stuff they are trying eg music web browser etc and of course the price UNK for UNK fi which is about the same in australian dollars at the moment makes the case for the kindle absolutely compelling if it wasn already thanks amazon 1 new kindle wifi am really satisfied with the device the built in browser is of great help loading pages is really fast display is great makes reading joy have to admit just cant stop reading you should be aware that if you are planning to read in dark you will need light otherwise reading is not possible however you can have the external light have to mentioned that there is drawback reading pdf on display is not so easy there is possibility to rotate to landscape where reading is bit better there is possibility to zoom but am not finding very useful 1 love it love it omg love my kindle it is the best the view is sooooo much better darker letters and its wi fi is so fast my books download instantly it says 60 UNK but get UNK in like can honestly say this upgrade to the new kindle is awesome can wait to see what they come up with next 1 kindle made me UNK UNK book UNK purchased kindle generation for my wife last christmas she is an avid book reader and she really loved her kindle within few days of using it looked it over and at the time was more interested in the tech part of it rather then the book content when this new generation came out with wi fi at half the price of the previous kindle decided to UNK the bullet and purchase one for myself figured would use it to download pdf files into shortly after got it found myself reading all kinds of books and now find myself having very hard time setting it down used to read lot when was younger but think the frustration of having to wear reading glasses and holding heavy books for long periods of time kind of turned me off this kindle is really lightweight and very easy to read thanks amazon am now enjoying my great love of reading once again 0 UNK entry level device beware the UNK about the low price of the kindle reader this thing is like getting UNK the old UNK ones in the mail and realizing it is UNK UNK of lighting fire to kindle it isn worth the time to try to UNK onto to warm up with someone forgot how to make fire when they UNK this UNK to readers the arrow keys for pages are UNK of positive click or even movement as if some child had previously UNK bit of UNK or other UNK sticky business UNK they have no english lettering no way of UNK whether you ve hit them and let them release your choice is to make multiple non click clicks and see if that sets you forward by pages then you ve got to flip back via the scroll square different button UNK might be found on cheap UNK UNK hand UNK only UNK using that position to scroll the amazon web site for example was like trying to find chinese UNK UNK chinese UNK UNK UNK frustrating and ultimately mess what gets me most of all is how bad the memory is for enlarged type which need of need for reading glasses wanted not to have to use them every single web page went back to the micro size font display and have to click the enlarge button over and over how stupid while the more expensive versions may have better UNK and displays one thing don agree with is that the non printed pages of books look anything like real paper found it non UNK requiring all of my track UNK lights to be on just to get decent contrast in general the so called white just isn white if were at home improvement paint store right now sure find color match where UNK UNK and grey UNK to make every kindle page look ancient and UNK UNK high tech white anyone oh but in its favor it is so flimsy that it feels like you could UNK it in half and get decent large UNK out of it oh actually think UNK UNK ones are coming out in the next few years have fun til then the ipad may eventually use better system to display in bright light but will take UNK or led over the kindle unit system UNK it really is modern UNK of the old UNK UNK etch sketch toy onto books tactile wise and visually 1 kindle how did live without it finally took the plunge and bought the kindle with wifi and 3g received it right before my cruise to mexico bought books in UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK whatever bought was downloaded to my kindle very quickly and with no problems everything works as advertised along with the apple green lighted cover it makes wonderful traveling companion read on it every night now can imagine not owning one love that it has the ink no backlighting it makes the device more flexible in regard to how much battery power it uses it easy on the eyes when opened up the box turned it on everything worked exactly as described by amazon it was really easy to set up highly recommend the kindle UNK amazon for providing this wonderful item to reading UNK like myself 0 unhappy with amazon kindle3 received the kindle 3g reader as gift started to review the list of books and my kindle froze talking to the amazon help desk did not solve the problem since they said that all new issues come with UNK in the software why asked and when it is new one and UNK was told the same answer UNK it up to my computer as they said to do UNK 24 hours later still frozen returned the kindle to amazon and was charge return fee and shipping fee sorry amazon will never order anything electronic from you since the customer has to pay for defective item 0 dead screen after hours purchased my kindle at UNK in the UNK UNK called every best buy target and UNK around and they were all sold out finally found one and was thrilled to charge it all the way up turn it on and begin enjoying the gorgeous screen well that joy lasted for about two hours worth of reading during the afternoon when got into bed wanted to read little bit more however the screensaver picture of john UNK went UNK half his head was replaced with UNK lines and large UNK of UNK UNK out of bed and went online to amazon troubleshooting page to UNK the failing screen no hard resets or charging did the trick it UNK so it going back for refund and will not be getting another 1 kindle when ordered kindle wasn sure would like it as soon as started to use it new liked it very easy to use it is an adjustment though kept on going to turn the page like real book like not having to hold the book open and can use it with one hand only bought the lighted cover and am glad did it not only protects the kindle but use the light all the time since the kindle is not lighted 1 exceeded expectations very happy with this purchase this is my first kindle and it has exceeded my expectations pros the screen contrast is very good the controls are intuitive the size and UNK design of the hardware is outstanding it is an absolute pleasure to hold and use for long periods of time battery life is exceptional content is available whenever wherever without being forced to synchronize to your computer cons no epub support come on amazon really you are not able to UNK subscription content magazines newspapers to collections for organizing content on the device having to continually explain to apple UNK why you didn buy an ipad seriously my kindle can play mp3 files but don strap it to my arm and wear it to the gym just because tool can be used for something doesn make it the best choice 1 kindle love the convenience do alot of reading and must say the kindle 3g is the way to go once you have picked book it downloaded within minutes the convenience of not having to go to the bookstore to purchase your reading materials is UNK time saver it slim light and can be slipped into briefcase or purse very easily the print is much easier to read than book very easy to navigate the battery lasts quite awhile before having to plug it in to charge so far so good no problems at all with my kindle love it 1 kindle rocks grad student life as grad student always felt torn between printing articles or reading them exclusively on my computer my laptop being less UNK as it is falling apart reading exclusively online became harder tired of not having my articles at hand during classes decided to look into the kindle since the new one lets you read pdf files highlight them and even take notes in it decided to give it try and buy it it was still cheaper than an ipad or another laptop kindle books reading great nothing to complain about the reading out loud part is great pdf files the conversion offered by amazon works great for UNK pdf made out of word find it more unreliable for articles downloaded online still it usually pretty easy to highlight in the text for some articles specially scanned ones highlighting requires some editing when using the my clippings file still most quotes appear great ve had some problems sometimes where highlights don work on some pages never more than pages per 30 pages articles for scanned chapters the kindle gets little more annoying the zoom feature is not that great and highlighting becomes impossible overall can have access to my texts everywhere thanks to small device which is great improvement can still take with me papers am writing and take notes on them not as good as real laptop but still better than printing everything take one star for the small UNK with pdf files but overall it is great device already got two friends to buy it hope this review will have convinced some other grad students 1 UNK review of the kindle like my new kindle it works just as expected and hoped it would it is easy to use and downloads are almost instant the latest generation kindle is easy to hold and read from it can be stored easily all of the functions work well page forward backward etc an mail address was provided so that can mail pdf documents to my kindle am very happy with my purchase would recommend it to others in the market for such device 1 love it love it love it this is best invention since the light bulb absolutely love my kindle can take it anywhere it is so easy to read and love being able to purchase books ahead of time to download as soon as they are available UNK purchase books the day they are on the stands so the cost savings is going to pay for my kindle in no time would highly recommend this to any reader 0 slightly disappointed even though liked kindle am very much disappointed that it doesn support UNK characters read lot of UNK books and am unable to have UNK ebook collection 1 love it after researching different wireless reading devices chose kindle love the size and you can choose between two colors chose graphite there are many things kindle will do love the ease of use the choice and size of fonts am enjoying my kindle very much 1 awesome very pleased love my kindle there are few books they do not have UNK but other than that love it also got this as day gift from my UNK and it wasn hard to switch over to my name 1 kindle is UNK ve had my kindle for over month now and love it took it to the beach and the clarity in the sun was great have the go to bible on mine and it is really fast to get to the book want would recommend this to everyone great buy for the price 1 new kindle 3g very please with it lighter weight screen same size and my kindle purchased it because it was much it was thinner and UNK less than my kindle it would have been nice if it had been in color but oh well can have everything the turn on button at the bottom that took little time to get used to UNK bought it and the price was very reasonable 1 quite good but no epub support the reader is very good and useful but live in italy and amazon has not enough books in my language so it would be very useful if could use on my reader also epub books apart from that the reader runs very well 1 my third kindle have experienced the kindle in all it UNK this 3rd generation is as expected significant step in the right direction it is not table pc if your expectations are to move to single device for all your web browsing reading and pc work then this is not your device if you simply want the best book on the market then you are making the right choice the eink is significantly better then the 2nd generation the sizing and buttons are more refined and in better position then the other earlier versions battery and memory are excellent the buttons and UNK capabilities are fine and the biggest plus of this device over competitors are the wireless connectivity and the relationship with amazon amazon was pretty smart to not fight the free book and open source market but to UNK it and make it run UNK with the books they charge for on this system you really have access to massive library of books both free and for cost on the con side of things as the device has gotten smaller and lighter it is more sensitive to damage even in the book cover the unit is not robust enough to take any abuse it is UNK piece of equipment treat it as such and you will be fine throw it around and you better have paid for the additional UNK all said it is an awesome device for reading books on considering paid 350 for my first one it is steal at the current price 1 amazing customer service experience first of all love my kindle was reluctant to get one because love the look and feel of paper books so much my husband UNK on giving me one because he is sweet and knows love to read am an UNK and love to read to my UNK when they are anxious and cannot fall asleep at night the other night was at work reading to patient and the screen froze with black lines across it tried everything to no avail this was saturday night sunday night was so upset and contacted amazon customer service spoke with UNK and friendly man named UNK who sent me link to print out the prepaid return label today tuesday my new kindle arrived and shipped the old one back at no cost to me whatsoever am so amazed and pleased with this service my friends at work were also so impressed that they all plan to buy kindles too 1 loved my kindle so much went to target and bought more it hard to imagine how much easier it is to read than an UNK book plus have limited amount of space but now can keep all the books want to reread and not have room filled with them not to mention that you can get the classics for free or very cheap the lighted case could be little brighter but it is very nice and can be read in totally dark room 1 one of the best gifts ve ever gotten am both voracious reader and bit of UNK that said ve been interested in the kindle since gen but ve never been able to justify the price finally it dropped drastically with this generation and my loving girlfriend got me one now thought this was going to be one of those UNK was going to be UNK UNK about and quickly loose interest in after all how could some little UNK of plastic ever take the place of the look and feel of true book well was wrong this little toy has quickly become an UNK part of my daily life just the right size to fit in coat pocket it makes taking my reading with me easier than before usually read before drop off to sleep and the light weight and UNK makes it much more comfortable to read with while lying down at night it reads just as great in different lighting situations as advertised though remember you do need some light as the ink screen is not backlit if had to look for flaws the page forward and back buttons are not UNK on either side but copied which makes them bit counter intuitive until you get used to them the new text to speech function UNK all the same draw backs that any such program usually does in that it cannot understand UNK english and therefore will sometimes use the wrong pronunciation for word with multiple UNK UNK and has issues with inflection in sentence structure that said if like me you find it easy to get lost in UNK and UNK the format it can be very nice feature when you re looking for entertainment while driving finally the text to speech does drain the battery rather quickly but only in comparison to actual battery life from full charge you still have few days of use out of the text to speech but these are UNK when you go looking for them over all it an incredible machine and one of the best gifts have ever received 1 fantastic but all pros no cons however would like to see small UNK or UNK in one of the corners that can attach wrist strap to just as do my camera 1 amazing kindle this device is great am an older user and wasn sure if could switch my reading from paper to screen the transition has been flawless my only concern is that the electronic version is almost as expensive to purchase as the paper version it doesn make sense to me the device itself is really amazing and would recommend it to everyone 1 love my kindle do love my kindle got it for my anniversary and haven put it down since the only negative things have to say are that you can share books and you can change the screensaver other than that it awesome 1 top quality after downloading and using kindle for pc and kindle for android wanted something could take with me and easily and had larger screen than my droid phone first bought android tablet but it wasn reliable enough nor did it have good battery life broke down and purchased the wi fi kindle and am very pleased with it it has amazing battery life and the screen is glare free and can be read in bright sunlight or at candle light can now carry several books to read or for reference cannot recommend the kindle more highly this is the future of books 1 like it ve had my kindle for month now read all the bad reviews before got it so expected some problems non so far this reader is not perfect but like it UNK the annoying don like the way it displays pdf files uploaded from my pc there are lots of display options but non quite do it for me readability in dim lighting is problem but the optional lighted cover solves that issue there are also 3rd party clip on UNK that work well another complaint is the cost of amazon kindle books they should be discounted more than the current most of my interest lies in technical books and they are almost as expensive as printed books that said still really like this device being able to purchase and access book in minutes is huge plus and it beats lugging around all the manuals need everyday in my job the more use it the more like it although have not purchased any other comparable devices ipad nook etc have plenty of co workers who have these other devices and they all like the kindle size and readability for the price 189 it is very good value 1 kindle review had difficulty with the less expensive kindle because we live in the country and there is no wifi activity where we are this kindle is wonderful because it uses UNK phone connectivity love it 1 my kindle caught sight of the 3g slate gray kindle at my local best buy and just couldn resist buying it what pushed me over the edge toward purchasing one though was hesitant was the screen of the display model was having look at it wishing it was working model and not just UNK up with fake printed screen when all of UNK the screen UNK and displayed new information it completely shocked me because thought it was fake printed screen that how much the paper display of the kindle looks like real paper and ink printing now have to UNK have an ipad with the kindle app installed on it but had been thinking about buying kindle so that could read outside and really the ipad is just not something could UNK take along with me when left the house it is big and fragile and just too clunky to lug around the kindle is small incredibly light and much more convenient to use outside the home in bright sunlight all you can see on the ipad screen is reflection of your own face and like to sit on my UNK and read when am off work have also in the last few weeks began to feel little cross UNK trying to read on the ipad backlit screen it like staring at computer monitor all day the kindle is much easier on the eyes found the kindle user interface bit UNK at first but got the hang off it pretty quickly browsing the store creating collections and navigation become second nature after about an hour of UNK UNK being typical male did not read the user guide but just starting UNK around with it it would probably have been easier if had read the guide but the kindle is simple enough to use that it isn necessary was little worried about putting my ebook collection on the kindle as some people make big deal about its more closed environment but was able to convert the ebooks already owned to format called mobi which displays very nicely on the kindle did it using an ebook program called calibre if you have large collection of ebooks recommend you download calibre so that you can put your old ebooks on the kindle too it was as simple as copy and UNK the converted files into the document folder of the kindle after connecting it to my pc with the included usb cable thank goodness the kindle does not force you to upload through UNK program like itunes or the sony reader does drag and drop is so much faster and easier one other thing like about the kindle is that when you shut it off it displays kind of screen saver UNK classic illustrations and writer portraits slowly UNK on the screen in high contrast black and white right now my kindle is displaying picture of john UNK one of my favorite authors it is neat little feature of the kindle don know why but it makes the kindle experience kind of UNK if have any kind of gripe it is that wish the screen was little larger the buttons at the bottom take up too much space UNK one more inch in length would make the screen look so much bigger maybe will buy the kindle dx too someday 1 absolutely love it really didn think would want to give the UNK part of actually turning the pages on book but my husband bought me the kindle for my birthday and absolutely love it read more and now have the opportunity to use it while working out on UNK this is must have for book lovers 1 not bad for new product this is fairly good product for being so new actually pre ordered it pros the page turns are quite fast the battery life is very good the size is perfect for single handed reading amazon support is extremely fast if there is defect cons it will reset itself for no reason every once in while sometimes it will forget the books in its memory until you do soft reset 1 at last the right kindle has come along always thought the kindles were way over priced when purchased my iphone added the kindle app and used it as my reader convenient but little hard to read so when the new generation kindle came out jumped at it here are the top ten things like about my kindle wifi 10 looks good bigger than paperback smaller than hardback lighter than hardback syncing with my iphone kindle app access to newspapers access to magazines easy to hold every book am reading at my fingertips easy to read and the number one thing like about my kindle finally affordable 1 lovin this thing am so glad made this purchase was kind of an UNK buy my thought was well if don love it ll send it back absolutely love it reading multiple books simultaneously and have ordered everyone of them with wifi no more trips to the bookstore or clunky books UNK around would definitely recommend buying this 1 awesome for reading love this little thing and ve only had it few days not much to say about it except that it comfortable to read and easy to carry give it because wish it had zoom view for images ve used it for reading technical books as well as novels and the only way to get closer look at diagrams is to switch the orientation to landscape one other thing wish it could do was connect to UNK wireless networks bought the wireless only version hoping that could UNK it to my android phone but alas since my android only creates UNK wireless networks for UNK the kindle can connect other than that no complaints 1 couldn be better can say enough good things about this excellent book so won have gen and and prefer the but the is great also recommend this book to everyone interested in an reader 1 kindle is excellent bought the kindle for my wife for her birthday she loves to read but she does not like computers or technology at all kindle is extremely easy to use she had no problems learning to use it it is very simple and intuitive figured would need to download books for her was wrong the kindle is so simple that she got right into it and uses it all the time already had an amazon account when purchased the kindle the kindle showed up at the house already set up and registered so she could start using it right out of the box this was great amazon UNK down simple on this product the book prices are very reasonable if you like to read the only mistake you can make with this product is waiting to buy one 1 love this thing new user and an avid reader for both pleasure and work ve only had the kindle few weeks and have loaded it with many reading materials and have seriously UNK my house by removing selling and giving away many physical books it great feeling to get rid of the clutter my nightstand is finally clean really like the ability to forward my work materials to the kindle too travel lot and won have to lug around books and printed materials in my flight bag anymore won have to drag my laptop out to read work materials or flight details or print them out because everything is in one small very light device glad finally broke down and bought the kindle 1 mary love this UNK wish had this with me when was doing all of my long trips use to do now enjoy this when have trips that are not so far away less then hour the book selection is also great sound is perfect 1 fantastic value still some room for improvement what fantastic device the ink is almost as good as paper books especially classics can be purchased for just dollar or even downloaded for free on this count alone kindle is well worth the price few UNK in hope that the next kindle might address these issues there is no way to read in the dark without an external light it would be very nice to have well placed led light for reading in the dark turning pages is somewhat sluggish there doesn seem to be way from the kindle to sort books by price an important feature when looking for classic which might have free and high quality version often what you find are dozens of versions of the same book some for or presented in apparently random order 1 kindle love the kindle has become my best friend due to eye problems had all but given up my passion for reading this kindle has UNK my passion by having adjustable font sizes and screen that is easy on my eyes great product that is easy to use small and light able to take it with me when travel as it fits in my purse good battery life with wifi off great product for an avid reader 1 the kindle is delightful useful and pleasure to have stars am very pleased with my purchase of the amazon kindle it really delivers it is sleek the perfect size and has made reading much more convenient no more going to bookstores and standing on my feet while UNK the shelves also no more having to use bookstore UNK which aren always clean and risk sitting next to the UNK guy while reviewing my potential purchases purchased the basic model and would have no problems upgrading to the model with built in wi fi we ve already talked about buying second one have UNK many books accumulate dust and UNK and are not pleasure to read besides have problem with reading many books from the library always wonder how many UNK hands have been on them especially don like taking library books to bed with me my hubby and really are enjoying it when we first got it we spent hours UNK with it looking at it and playing games every word anyone couldn give it four and one half stars so had to choose between four and five the only reason rated it four and not five stars is that some of the UNK tools can be improved the little directional key enter left right in the right corner isn as fast as it could be for games etc also was disappointed at first that there was not back light which would be useful for reading in bed now glad there isn one spend hours looking at computer who wants another UNK light staring at me during my UNK time besides traditional books don have back lights anyway also enjoy the text to speech feature once you get used to the somewhat robotic voice it enables you to listen to books with headphones there are few mistakes for example bible UNK and chapters are usually UNK as 15 pm but it is good feature when actual reading is not UNK like while working anyway if you aren sure what the guy just said you can always look at the computer screen which changes pages automatically just remember that not all books are compatible with the text to speech feature bottom line don expect bells and whistles it not in color which is fine with me if you don expect bells and whistles you will absolutely love your new kindle like kid with new toy on christmas carry it around with me even when leaving the house 1 extremely impressed been considering getting kindle for few years and the new model finally sold me ordered my 3g model with leather cover non lighted and was absolutely UNK at the screen ve never seen an ink device in person when pulled it out of the box the start up instructions were already on the screen it looked so much like paper that thought it had to be some sort of UNK sticker the text is so natural and easy to read it almost like reading book working in the it field very accustomed to over engineering and UNK UNK so was absolutely delighted to see how simple the design and interface of this device is it extremely intuitive and takes just few minutes to get UNK with it and since it comes linked to your amazon account right out of the box there virtually no setup UNK bit deeper to connect it to my wifi and UNK it unique name which was as easy and intuitive as it can get the design is sleek and smooth the unit small enough to store in briefcase UNK backpack or maybe even pocket can fit this into most of my pants pockets without trouble minus the leather case my only complaint isn even about the device itself but more the early state of ink technology just how lcd screens were slow when first introduced the ink screen does take some time to refresh any time you are navigating menus typing in information or any other activity that requires the screen to constantly refresh you will notice delay page turns happen much quicker though and even quicker than you would turn an actual printed page this is only minor concern but anyone with smartphone accustomed to instant input response will definitely notice the delay buying one for friend UNK gift and two more for my mom and sister for the holidays this year think this makes an excellent gift for anyone who loves reading portable library the size of small paper tablet 1 kindle 3g wireless reader bought my first reader years ago not kindle and as an avid reader was quite impressed with it though it was quite heavy and big then read review about the latest kindle and bought one what to say it great light as feather easy to use excellent user instructions both in box and on line connected to my home wireless in seconds and downloading books from the amazon store is breeze the experimental web browser works as well will be great with few UNK all in all great product for great price 1 lives up to hype did lot of research before choosing this reader it was the perfect choice for my needs as am an avid reader but have little storage space am more than satisfied with my kindle it easy to use and easy to read and amazon makes it easy maybe too easy to purchase books after playing with it downloading book and reading for about an hour it seemed like had always read this way have used it in the car on the boat and at home have UNK about it to anyone who will listen would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of product 1 my 4th kindle and its fantastic love the kindle mean really really love it part of the reason why is the fact that when pick up the kindle it means about to have an enjoyable time the new kindle is good improvement over the kindle you can read my comprehensive review of the new kindle here 1 exceeded expectations the kindle is the most exciting UNK efficient and economical way to read book am anxious to learn more about the kindle features in addition to reading book 1 kindle is wonderful the kindle is fantastic product love its compact size great readability and cool design ve UNK mine with skin also travel and do lot of moving around so kindle makes taking my library with me that much easier the only drawback is that there are some books want to read that aren available in kindle edition but hoping they ll come out soon 1 my kindle love my kindle and cannot recommend it highly enough my nose was frequently in book but since purchasing kindle its hardly ever out of it it user friendly downloading from amazon is quick and easy and dont have any UNK whatsoever 1 not great but good for mobility stars no way the star reviews UNK to me of UNK UNK and UNK members let get real this is not the same feeling as sitting down UNK good back and being able to turn the pages it loses the feel of reading and therefore the experience is less enjoyable this good product but it is not book would you really enjoy reading your favorite novel on your laptop screen of course you wouldn the kindle is just portable electronic device with screen but like it for traveling and for the mobility can download as many books as want and have them all with me even took it on UNK trip the kindle cover with built in book light is highly UNK as you can use kindle in low light without an extra light of some sort it has no built in back light all in all it is functional device that allows you to read all the books you want to while on the go stars 1 love it am so happy with my new kindle wi fi don think will ever be able to read regular book again it is super easy to set up and start reading right away it is also very easy to use my only tiny complaint is that when pick it up sometimes UNK hit the button to turn the page have no problems reading in direct sunlight as there is little or no glare there is no back light so you need to get book light if you plan on reading in the dark there are so many free out of print books that have always wanted to read now can do so for free all in all love it highly recommend this product to anyone who loves to read 1 dragging my feet on buying kindle had several friends tell me what wonderful thing the kindle was am an avid reader and put off buying one thinking really could not afford one but when the price came down to 139 00 thought my time is now bought it and am in love with it the first one delivered was defective but customer service got me replacement overnight thanks will keep looking for books now and am UNK waiting for ken follett new one to become affordable 1 just awesome great size great weight easy to use easy to read in all light ve read more in the last month since ve had my kindle than have the previous months combined being able to use the kindle iphone app is great for even more mobile reading recommend this device to anybody meet 1 conversion from real books having been an avid reader since and almost 60 now was afraid of not having real book in my hands it has become difficult to hold book and eyesight is getting worse so thought would give the kindle try amazing how much easier it has been can create my own larger print and set it on my UNK without holding have only had it for few days now and haven UNK all the options but very easy so far hands and eyes feel better already got the wi fi model since live on UNK in UNK no 3g available and working just fine very satisfied and fills my needs 1 my kindle love this kindle use to read books but not very often because it would be difficult to find book liked now can review any book read the first chapter and decide if like it can not put it down and can wait until finish book to start an other one thank you kindle 1 3rd generation kindle just recently purchased 3rd generation wi fi kindle am amazed at how fast it downloads books and games and how easy it is to use downloaded several free classic books along with current books my favorite genre of books are UNK there are so many books in that UNK as well as any other that might interest person the ease of use and the compact size make it so easy to take anywhere purchased cover as well and it is like holding regular book in your hand the cover is must if you like the book feel the only downside to kindle or any other reader is that if you are an avid reader it may take you bit to get used to the feel of holding something that is not made of paper the upside to that is that it does not UNK or tear look forward to years of enjoyment with this item 0 dissapointed yes dissapointed not with the kindle that is ok now my problem is that live in UNK so can buy kindle from amazon com no problem there oh yes it would be nice too have some books on it UNK ok this book looks ok maybe will buy this oh sorry your re from europe no no no you can not buy this book and put on UNK kindle but you can buy the printed version and the UNK copyright what is the point with the kindle when you still have to order the printed version and ship it half around the world copyright but can buy the printed version from usa ok there is many books for the kindle that can buy but there is also many books that cant am dissapointed yes read many books and was thinking that this would be the future now just feel let down 1 fantastic educational words UNK dictionary in one what fantastic world has opened thousands of books in seconds wonder what comes next as my UNK is not english find the device very educational too you have the written word together with the UNK UNK the word and you can even use the built in dictionary 1 brilliant device love the eink display is so much better than backlit lcd have an ipad and would never use it for reading ebooks screens to hard on the eyes no good in direct sunlight too heavy limited battery life and to distracting the kindle can take anywhere can read it in any lighting conditions and its lighter than paperback that can only use it to read books is bonus don get distracted with the web etc the wi fi is fine for me don need the 3g can UNK months worth of reading on it while at home probably not as good as real book for flipping at random but the bookmarks beat folding pages and there so much free quality content out there 1 must have for UNK admit am one who UNK UNK the ebooks when they first came out thought how could anyone want to read cold electronic book however after living in china for years finally got kindle and love it no longer have to wait for trip to the usa or uk to load up on english language books and the selection is endless truth be told find the kindle easier to hold onto than paperback or hardback UNK myself for waiting so long and know ll never be without my kindle again 1 wonderful kindle it is simply wonderful it is the same of carry along library 1 kindle love even with all the hype UNK and UNK high expectations was and am thrilled and UNK with my kindle love it 1 UNK like the ability to have book where ever go so far it has provide me with entertainment while waiting for my ride after work since am an UNK reader it will save me lot on finding storage space for my books and save me money 1 exactly what this customer ordered this is lovely product it unbelievably light the batteries have lasted weeks so far without needing second charge and the screen is simply stunning low light or sunlight the text is easily readable and the page turns are lot quicker than thought they would be UNK with the calibre ebook management application the kindle has already replaced lot of my books great product well worth the money 1 fallen back in love with reading have fallen back in love with reading since moving to small town with no bookstore had pretty much quit reading for pleasure with the nearest town with bookstore bookstore is about 30 miles away and only one of the big box stores having very small selection here in town was not reading often with the kindle 3g am reading new book in an instant also with the free books plan to finally read several of the classic that have always intended to read the print quality is great and late at night when my eyes are getting tired just change the font size my husband gave me this and pink leather cover for my birthday best gift in years 1 amazing have no UNK why waited so long to buy this have had it less than 24 hours and am addicted easy to navigate book was downloaded in seconds have not even taken the proper time to learn everything need to and am sure will love the rest of the features as well 1 amazing kindle UNK UNK never thought like reading book on computer like device but must say am now fan one of the main things enjoy is being able to instantly download books some of which have been as cheap as 99 cents was given kindle cover leather folder with snap that the kindle fits into and it makes the reading experience even better just because it easier to hold we are avid readers in our family and when we go on vacation we usually take several books each which can be very heavy have actually run out of books while on vacation with the kindle being so light and the fact that it can hold so many books ll never have to lug huge bag of books through the airport again love it love it love it 1 loses most of the problems of earlier kindles but http www amazon com gp product UNK UNK UNK in view of the fact that already had five kindles and two UNK readers my husband told me could not order the kindle until had gotten rid of UNK paper books one for each of the dollars the new gadget cost he didn think could do it did it in less than an hour although don think could do it again ve already gotten rid of about 3000 paper books so the only ones have left are in one or more of these situations books that aren in the library but love them are not available in format might want them at two am during UNK they are UNK UNK in colors no longer do UNK because accidentally hit home when meant to hit previous page the new pointer works better than the one on the kindle and much better than the one on the kindle love the collection feature which also now appears on the kindle my only complaint here is that collection cannot be transferred back to the kindle online bookshelf without breaking up the collection hope this issue will be addressed soon by the software engineers the contrast in the kindle is outstanding can finally look at the UNK UNK of the bible and the UNK UNK and see what mean to see and the portraits are UNK detailed also unless have just missed it so far that UNK awful picture of james UNK seems to have been removed the UNK UNK picture is very good and so are the rest of the device asleep pictures except the poor little me picture of UNK UNK who did have some right to be sorry for himself really like amazon to release free book explaining each of the pictures who created it why it was chosen what it displays my only remaining complaint is that the memory card that the kindle used is no longer available perhaps have no right to gripe about this considering that have almost UNK books on my kindle but am writer and as do online research like to store the results in UNK there no room left for that so have to store them either on different kindle or on UNK reader also have to store them on computer as well as on kindle because the online bookstore doesn archive material not acquired through amazon think this device was released UNK because it had to go nose to nose with the nook which the kindle didn do very well but it an excellent device especially now that our techie came and got it onto our home wi fi network doubt will buy another ebook reader until color becomes available UNK as the grandchildren UNK up the need for color is reduced give it five stars because have to choose between four and five but rather give it rating 1 love it so far was disappointed in the small size of this new small kindle when UNK opened the box after using it however ve become big fan the size turns out to be perfect to hold and to view the number of characters per line at the text size prefer works well for fast comprehension functionality aesthetics and quality are excellent love it 1 love my iphone ipad and now my kindle ve not been big reader in my life but started getting back into it recently thanks to the kindle apps on my ipad and iphone use the white text on black background mode which is very easy on the eyes was enjoying it for couple of months when saw the new wi fi kindle at just UNK UNK delivered to australia wasn even interested in kindle before but at this price thought why not try it out and see what all the fuss is about boy am glad did absolutely love it first of all ve stopped using my ipad for reading it too heavy and reflective still love my ipad and use it for lots of other things secondly use the kindle during the UNK and at night when the lights are off use the kindle app on my iphone which automatically syncs to where left off in the book what love most about the kindle is it feels like you re actually reading book like ink on paper despite the keyboard at the bottom you soon forget you have piece of technology in your hands it feels so natural it also light and easy to hold in one hand at distance or close to your face page turns highlighting passages and taking notes are easy and seamless you can even view all your highlights and notes at amazon website after finishing the book all of these factors make for considerably better experience than reading physical book in my opinion in UNK own kindle iphone and ipad and love all of them the kindle the best for reading and thoroughly recommend it common question is should buy kindle or ipad say they re two different things and 139 versus UNK is not UNK comparison at this price why choose why not get both if you have to choose one the ipad is good for many things but for reading especially if you re big reader get the kindle 1 just great first time kindle owner 3rd generation ve had it for two months my wife has had the nook for slightly longer definitely made the right choice for my needs the kindle is rock solid very comfortable in your hand fits easily into pocket quick page turns intuitive navigation around all features text to speech is valuable when on treadmill have minor complaint about the native pdf viewer having to zoom in on pages with large borders is nuisance wind up converting pdfs to other formats also when needed their kindle customer service has been outstanding it keeper 1 hooked on my amazon kindle granted this only my first day actually only UNK but so far love it the set up was super UNK easy was already using pc kindle and once connected to my network which was also super UNK easy all of my kindle books were available on my kindle easily moved all of my other ebooks on my pc to my kindle have even added music love to read and any and every place go always have at least books with me now can carry hundreds and it is smaller than the size of one paperback am hooked also got it one day sooner than promised way to go amazon 1 this kindle has changed my life am reader and get my books in many ways libraries book stores amazon friends etc thought about getting kindle but wasn sure if would miss the look and feel of an actual book also didn think it would make me read any more boy was wrong got the kindle as gift for my birthday and am amazed at how easy it is to use do read more and it is so convenient to carry it around with me rather than or books at time highly recommend this to anyone who loves reading 1 dr love it works well in the sunlight going to buy couple for christmas gifts 1 love my new kindle love my new kindle it is everything promised light and easy to see with the adjustable fonts do wish that there were more directions with it instead of the quick start guide and UNK page down UNK guide there really are lots of books to download absolutely free and not just old ones when ordered it received note from amazon asking if would like to pre download some things so it would come with books when got it was skeptical but downloaded few free books and waited was pleasantly surprised to find them on my kindle and ready to go when got it there is no charge for internet as was sure there would be you can use your computer router and wi fi hot spots to down load it only takes matter of seconds to load complete book there is slide button on the bottom that turns it on and off it took me while to find this one and the four buttons two on each side turn the pages top ones go back UNK and the bottom ones forward amazon had my account set up for me so it was ready to go right out of the box one of my best buys ever 1 different from others very good purchase very happy just two drawbacks pdf files appear quite small but still readable and if the file is log 500 pages there is really uncomfortable lag some 15 seconds between browsing pages cannot get used to underline text in kindle both these drawbacks are non critical the advantages are great small size fit my jacket UNK excellent UNK in the light different from others look 1 kindle device love my kindle it is so easy to use take it with me wherever go because it is so small bought the leather cover also and love the light you almost have to have the cover think it is an amazing product thank you amazon 1 nice device bought this device for my wife it took little while for her to warm up to it and now she really loves it this device will pay for itself after UNK 30 books bought but for me there will be no more UNK of books laying around to have to fool with this love 1 great device had been holding off but reviews convinced me to finally dive in and buy the kindle am extremely pleased with the ease and speed of downloads the choice of available books and the ease of reading on the kindle do wish had paid more and purchased the model sometimes have trouble connecting with wifi network to purchase new books when not at home using my home network 1 kindle best online product have ever bought does everything it UNK and more well UNK the price 1 love the kindle love this reader had looked at several different readers before selecting the kindle and am very happy with mine lightweight easy to read downloads very quickly and overall truly enjoyable reading experience 1 kindle is just fantastic just in love with my kindle it the best thing bought this year love all the books available in kindle store but will be more happy if there will be position in my native language kindle size is perfect its not to small but not too big one problem is that paint on keyboard is easily UNK 1 book lover how did we ever live without the kindle actually bought this for my husband as gift have the 3g 2nd generation kindle and have been nothing but pleased with it chose this one for my husband because of the price and we just keep both kindles under one account so that we can share books all the time he is so happy with it and has had no problem all in all an excellent product 1 best invention since paper books received this for an early birthday gift and love it use to read lot of books and really missed reading now with the kindle found my favorite author online and downloaded the book wirelessly straight to my kindle there are thousands of books at good prices and even free books available the screen is very clear and the words just pop on the screen the background has the look and color of book page or newspaper with the UNK background that makes reading easy on the eyes it only in black and white and that good for me you can even change the font size bigger or smaller as needed turning the page is easy intuitive and quick quicker than it takes to turn real paper page use it in low light just before go to sleep and take this with me when take the car in for services and know going to have to wait it great device and make sure make time to do some reading with it each day ve only downloaded books however you can download magazines and newspapers if that what you like this is one gadget ll keep around to use for long time 1 can UNK 3g and wi fi connection am thinking about purchasing the middle level kindle one question though can UNK the 3g and wi fi UNK don want to be UNK to them during reading 1 terrific had little bit of UNK about buying my first kindle am an avid reader but always felt that holding book was the best way to do it after month convert to the kindle love the convenience of shopping on amazon and having my book appear in 60 seconds also love the fact that my kindle just works the only other tech gadget company that compares to the ease and reliability of kindle is apple am using my kindle to go back and read the classics that never took the time to read in my younger days UNK now to my great surprise finding that these books are wonderful jack london tells terrific stories UNK UNK is truly UNK of the english language the UNK of UNK UNK is fun to read around UNK know that ll never completely give up printed books but kindle will be an UNK larger percentage of my reading thanks amazon for creating such wonderful product 1 UNK ebook kindle UNK un tama ntilde ideal para UNK en los UNK oacute UNK es muy aacute cil de UNK para UNK lo que UNK 1 perfect reading device battery may not last as long as it claims for those wanting to have mini laptop that you can use to browse the web play music and what not go get an ipad or ipod touch kindle is great at what it known for UNK perfect reading device ve read quite few books on it and it surprisingly UNK for my eyes the page turn buttons on both sides are convenient as you can switch hand holding it up and still flip page easily sometimes find it bit clumsy since tend to read in bed all the time and as flip and turn myself not the page end up pressing the button by accident it would help if amazon allows the user to disable some buttons another thing is on battery life ve read non stop for solid hours day over day period with wifi off the battery bar shows it 50 gone so how is it supposed to last 10 days or even 30 days as it claims did amazon assume people read only hours day either way think lasting 25 hours without charge is amazing and can live with it but what amazon claims is bit misleading am also satisfy with its language support with little help from conversion software can load chinese books onto kindle without any issue but it be amazing if amazon kindle store can expand into chinese books overall great buy it super light lighter and smaller than paper back and portable it especially useful for travels since it impossible to travel with library and books are just perfect companion during long flights and by the pool beach on side note remember to get case made mistake of carrying my kindle without case for week the screen was fine since made point of sticking it behind my computer so it protect the screen but the UNK between them had worn out the letters on kindle keyboard what shame not like use the keyboard lot but it doesn look new any more after only week 1 very pleased bought kindle at local store two weeks ago and instantly fell in love am pleased with the screen its just like real book tried to get another one for my daughter and the local stores are out went to four different stores did an online order and it will be here tomorrow not bad three days and used standard shipping one thing would like to se is built in light its not big deal though got clip on and it works fine downloading book is very easy and fast like how thin and light weight it is arms do not get tired holding it after hours of reading cant think of anything that do not like about it have not tried any of the other brands and after using the kindle do not plan on using any other brand if you are thinking you wont like it because other readers have color screens just remember this is book reader not an ipad or laptop for what it is designed for it does the perfect job the ink is just excellent if you are thinking about getting one just do it you will be very pleased 1 love my kindle really love my new kindle it new to me but it great like to lay on my side while read so trying to hold book open can be pain with the kindle this is not an issue since you can easily hold it in one hand have already accessed couple of good free books and since had several on pdf have bunch more can read haven had to spend bunch of money on new books the only problem with the pdf files is that you can increase the font in the same way you can an original kindle book when you increase it it doesn keep all the text on single page so you have to move it back and forth which am UNK to do so instead make the font on my pdf files larger so that the book is more easily read find that 18 is the best size for me love being able to check my gmail from anywhere since have the 3g and wifi versions it not fast but it does the trick in pinch 1 great reading starts here this kindle was purchased primarily for my 11 yr old who constantly needs UNK to read more there are many books available for her UNK and age group on amazon to UNK her interest the on demand built in dictionary is available for instant word definitions this one function alone is almost worth the purchase we are very happy with the portability and ease of use of this reader we consider it very worthwhile and valuable educational tool 1 love my kindle this is my 3rd kindle bought one for my mom who is an avid reader one for me and one for my mother in law all of us avid readers this is the best gift you can give someone have the original kindle my mom and 3g being able to read any size book with such light small device is so UNK my back no longer hurts from dragging books with me heck have 20 books on my kindle and the best thing is we can share all the books we get with each other would say this is definite gift for anyone who loves to read 1 great kindle am still learning how to use some of the features of the UNK but it is great for reading books lost my original kindle but find this model easier to use 1 simply UNK when ordered my kindle was little doubtful now sold take it with me everywhere know will marking time in waiting room ve down loaded books using the reading text to speech and audio how great is that for one product 1 love the kindle love love love this thing was not sure at first about it but it is wonderful love the light weight and the ease of use can be reading fiction and non fiction and keep my place in both making notes is easy and helps keep ideas together use this thing everyday and already have over 20 books on it and ve only had it month and half this is great especially when UNK with the lighted cover the wi fi works very well and do not regret not getting the UNK version love it 1 can stop using it love my kindle it has been several weeks since have it and can stop using it my intention when buying it was to start reading more often and it was completely UNK passed from having one book that read from time to time and never finished it to reading several books at the time finish them and enjoy them kindle is highly convenient it is small and light enough so can carry it with me to everywhere as it is always with me read in every opportunity that have and the fact that have several books on it allows me to choose what want to read according to my mood ve tried to do this with other devices but never UNK because the size of the device the type of screen the weight the feel of the device all of this was solved with kindle this device is so good that even found my self reading in the airplane instead of watching movie or trying to sleep pros light and small carry it everywhere go happy did not go for the dx the screen is incredibly easy on my eyes can read for the same amount of time that would read printed book the 3g is incredibly convenient the dictionary feature is extremely useful while reading some old books or books not in your native language the UNK to add notes and bookmark is quite good the device is solid and well UNK way much better than the previous versions of kindle the games are cool this is not device that you want to get for applications kindle is all about the reading experience and nothing else but have found my self couple of times enjoying the games downloaded on it battery life is awesome cons like it so much that can stop buying books and spending more than should not all the books want are in kindle format the list of titles is pretty good but not everything want is in there no color ink still haven find book that absolutely need to read in color but it is something that would like to have in my kindle the tools to UNK pdfs UNK docs into kindle format are not that good able to get the book in my kindle but the formatting and navigation is not the same as with book originally published in kindle format that being said still can read them on the go which is awesome the browser is helpful but it may crash with some pages it is extremely useful to look for stuff in wikipedia but not that much for reading your email the home screen may get really UNK as you add more books there are categories to group your books but if you keep the home screen in the most recently read order which find the most helpful the UNK are useless 1 am thrilled am so pleased with my kindle am senior UNK and have alot of time UNK at night to read used to lug big bag of books around with me but now my kindle sets beside my bed or in my purse and can read any time any place and get books when ever start to run low no more trips to the library or used book store this is must have for anyone who has time on their hands and likes to read even if wanted to read newspaper it is right there available in my little kindle it was worth the UNK investment UNK UNK 1 kindle wireless reading device my new kindle is perfect in every way except can get rid of book once want to delete it otherwise love it 1 well done kindle had the previous version of kindle and was reasonably happy except for the screen clarity when the ambient light started to fade the new kindle is smaller faster easier to work with and has vastly improved screen exactly what wanted did consider the ipad for my reading but with this new kindle version there is UNK the ipad can compete well done kindle regards UNK 1 UNK UNK hi am way over 13 have kindle kindle and now have the new one with wifi this one is my all time favorite it is easier use laid out better quicker it is just whole lot in smaller package that makes reading more UNK was able use whisper net on kindle with the kindle whisper net didn work my home but with the wifi it works just like my laptop 1 love my kindle love to read but was running out of space for my books because read an average of two books per week and save each and every book decided it was time to go digital can honestly say that the kindle is the best purchase have ever made and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read the screen is so easy on the eyes downloading happens in the blink of an eye and navigation is simple and quick if your child UNK UNK or UNK has an UNK to reading buy kindle can guarantee that the child will develop love of reading in no time the kindle makes reading fun and easy although very busy with my full time job as school UNK and look forward to sleep at the end of every long day the kindle has made reading easier on my eyes and now reading three to four books per week the only downside buying kindle books like they re going out of style highly recommend the kindle 1 worth the money will always love the smell and feel of book in my hands however for travelling and waiting time when lugging heavy book is not practical this product is perfect the print is comparable to that of book plus the added feature of built in dictionary am pleased in every aspect with the product 1 top notch read lot of reviews of readers before purchasing the kindle and most reviewers UNK recommended kindle after using it for about week can see why in my opinion it is easier to read than book the contrast between the type and background is amazing better than paper it has few other features such as web browser and mp3 player which are ok but that is not its purpose it is an reader and its the best 1 love this thing got my kindle 3g about month ago and have fallen in love with it took it right out of the box and read the directions that come with it and they are not that many it was on saturday afternoon and my husband was watching UNK just put in the title of the book wanted and in second it was in my kindle it is so easy to use did lot of research and just found less bad things being said about the kindle could not be more pleased with it the battery last long time have only charged it one time in the month have had it it told me when the battery was low have not gotten free book yet but there are lot of them on the amazon site well if you cannot tell by now that love this thing let me say again am so pleased with this kindle 1 great reading device and service was amazed when got my kindle and now am so addicted to it have put all of my technical manuals on it and it so great having it to read them had problem with the data cable and called customer service which was fantastic to use they have an option where you have them call you and select call me now and in 10 seconds they did and was speaking to support person wow they sent me new data cable out at no cost to me and had it the next day support is the tops nobody comes close to the service they provided me showed my kindle to family members and now they all are ordering them the wifi and 3g service is great this was great idea of amazon to UNK it so if you love reading books magazines and manuals this is the only device you want to own everything about it is tops get one you won be disappointed trust me 1 my kindle was excited to purchase this lower priced kindle and it was on recommendation that buy the kindle over the barnes and noble wireless reading device am so very pleased with it that have been unable to put it down and have gone out and gotten more and more books even though have not read the ones that already have downloaded my only complaint with the kindle is that they preloaded screen savers and there couple of them that find UNK not enough that would return it but would make the suggestion that the UNK of kindle give the owner the ability to download their own screen savers or given an option of possible screen savers provided by kindle not just put them on the kindle and the owner has to live with it or not otherwise am so pleased and have given the star review to all of my friends and suggest that they buy the kindle 1 must have purchased this product because of my UNK with our local book club every book we have read has been available on the kindle can drive to from our local library for what it costs to purchase the books on kindle so it is actually saving me money don have to worry about late fees or calling to extend my check out period as own every book now the kindle is very easy to use and would recommend it to anyone 1 kindle wifi talked to many people at the stores around before ordering this one online because didn think wanted 3g it came in an amazing two days and then called support it seems that whispernet on my older first generation kindle UNK to 3g when found that would have to have wifi connection to download book immediately sent it back and ordered the 3g kindle which came in another amazing days love everything about the 3rd gen kindle friend has nook that he tried to UNK to me useless love the kindle right now am going to loan my first gen with 100 books on it to friend to take to UNK but won be without kindle they are amazing this one loaded up my purchased books with no problem whatsoever and with the 3g can finish one book find another and be reading it almost before it paid for gotta love it 1 john kindle have been very happy with my kindle the only problem is that it can be quite addictive so far have read over 20 books since received it sept 1st haven been able to run my battery down yet have started to let the screen time out because am having little trouble with the slide switch sticking also have read the instructions several times but there is no instructions on how to get back to the front of the book after it has been read to me that means that the book can only be read once it would be nice if you could UNK books by author or series my gripes are over truly enjoy the kindle 1 kindle love reading books and nothing is more useful than my kindle read books during the day and kindle is so handy choice of font size UNK are so very useful love my kindle and talk about its features to so many people that somebody said UNK should send you free kindle 1 love it have had my kindle for almost month now the battery life stated is right on just had to charge mine yesterday so it lasts weeks as promised read on average an hour day downloading is so easy and there are free books and games on amazon too researched for quite awhile before ordering my kindle and am sure got the best reader also recommend the cover that amazon sells the clips in the design are the best out there to protect your device don recommend spending the extra money for the book light model just get one that clips on from local store same thing already had book light that bought for like from UNK and it works well with my cover 0 not really doing the job for me kindle doesn do the job for me and think will go back to paper books the UNK has good physical design UNK use paper ink low power consumption etc however for someone who UNK to use it for academic reading and not just for light reading before going to sleep this machine is not good enough though may try again firstly when read often need to cross reference with what have read earlier or even chapters back navigating with the small buttons is cumbersome and frustrating guess multi touch screen may help but this may cause weight and or costs to increase secondly when reading often need to know where am UNK UNK the entire book but there is no indication of chapter and section titles not even page numbers the location index doesn help because the content page only tells page numbers thirdly the high lighting and notes writing functions are of little help for can only see words as an UNK from the text not within the text finally hate the fact that cannot UNK paragraphs from the text in order to share with colleagues and or friends even if am willing to accept that will not be able to lend or borrow entire electronic copies from them 1 what wonderful piece of UNK UNK with all the hype about electronic books was wary to join the club other reviews on the kindle convinced me to go with the basic model the one without the 3g wireless connection it arrived just in time for me to take on business trip to UNK am not sorry went out UNK to purchase the kindle it is an easy to use and enjoyable travel reading tool as tend anyway to read two or three books at one time the kindle saved considerable packing space and shoulder strain the screen is as advertised clear even in bright light downloading books and magazines is easy and the choice of UNK is increasing am sorry didn spring for the more expensive kindle no wireless connections in hotels are not always perfect but there are more then enough wireless places available will it replace paper books for me no still enjoy the tactile feel of books but for travel and UNK and pick up reading the kindle is delight 0 amazon UNK and switch beware of amazon UNK and switch with the kindle it was widely accepted that book pricing would be 99 or less and people UNK in the reader based upon that understanding now not only are many prices much higher they are higher than hardcovers in couple recent cases such as fall of giants and don blink make your own UNK but for one will not support amazon or these publishers my book purchases will come from sam UNK half price bookstore or online UNK on non electronic versions of the books if can lend it turn pages or have copy on my bookshelf sure not paying more for it 1 new kindle love my new kindle the screen is really clear and it only takes seconds to download book 1 kindle 3rd generation received my kindle about weeks ago and so far am really enjoying it have read books and although was concerned before getting it that glare would be problem it has not been an issue like the small size and ease of using the forward and backward page buttons am hoping to become more UNK at some of the options like using bookmarks and highlights as time goes on 1 kindle the kindle is one of the best purchases have made love to read and always take something to read with me when have an appointment it makes the time have to wait go faster having the kindle makes it so easier than carrying thick heavy book with me just slip it into my purse and ready they only problem have is when purchase new kindle book have to make trip to mcdonalds where UNK have wi fi to load it into my kindle 1 new kindle the single best item have ever purchased from amazon com being voracious reader find the convenience of wifi ordering to be quick and painless the kindle is in word wonderful take it to the beach daily and never have any problem reading it in the bright sun and the price was amazing 1 kindle 3g UNK reading device works great but does not complete charge after being plugged into wall or usb outlet after hours of charging still only shows bars 1 from book lover am librarian and book lover love the smell of the ink and paper and UNK love the feel of the pages and the UNK of the covers love the fonts and the photographs and surprisingly at least to me love my kindle got it days ago and have read books on it wasn sure that would be able to get into the books enough to make the kindle disappear it doesn happen immediately but it does happen as librarian am always moving piles of books and my wrists UNK today moved UNK books at one time on my kindle with no strain love it it is easy to read UNK or nighttime the text is so clean and sharp it is pleasure to read cannot say enough about how happy am with it UNK UNK love books but most of us are excited about technology too the kindle is great idea whose time has come highly recommend it 1 revolutionized the way read newspapers bought the kindle so could hold my new UNK son and read the newspaper subscribed to the UNK UNK times and fell in love with the kindle first have reduced my UNK foot print by not having newspaper UNK in plastic delivered to my house UNK days year second can clip articles that like or just highlight passages the UNK me finally want to read more 1 love my kindle great product so glad that got one and have been reading like crazy can wait until even more of my favorite titles are available and the technology continues to improve when the time comes will probably upgrade but am quite happy with my purchase so far thanks amazon 1 needs better ink for the UNK everything is good except the ink on the UNK is too easily to UNK out 1 love it read lot so was hesitant to buy kindle because would have to start paying for books instead of borrowing from the library told myself would only download once in while to keep costs down but unfortunately that hasn happened hooked and no longer have the desire to read physical book probably have about 25 books downloaded after owning kindle for month it so nice not to have to hold book open for that reason didn buy the type of cover that opens like book that seemed like it would UNK the purpose the cover chose is UNK and the kindle fits into it like UNK my wish list like to see older paperback books come down in price for the kindle when you can buy it at used book store for or read it from the library free it hard to justify spending on the download also it would be nice to be able to trade books with friends as far as know that not possible still have to give it five stars 1 the perfect gift this is the perfect gift love it could not ask for more if you love to read this is the perfect item for you 1 my first ereader and very happy to have chosen the kindle researched all ereaders for couple of months and UNK my selection to either the nook or the kindle while there are some features like about the nook they didn weigh in much as all the other features the kindle has which felt were most important to my needs first of all there is no comparison between the kindle and the nook when it comes to the weight of the devise can hold my kindle with one hand for long period of time and not get tired it is very lightweight devise and my reason for getting the kindle vs the nook second the kindle does not have all the program glitches the nook users experience no freezing screens no slow page turning the kindle pages turn so quick that you simply continue your read with no delays third the kindle screen is so clear that it really does feel like you are reading from book lastly the text to speech on the kindle is very helpful when you get to point that either the book isn as interesting and prefer to turn on the text to speech feature or you are tired lazy and rather listen to someone read you the book excellent feature UNK have to admit that love reading so that do not use this feature often great to know have it when needed the nook does not have this feature overall am very pleased kindle owner and recommend it to all my friends that love to read have the white 3g and wi fi model and it is really the perfect ereader 1 kindle review love my new kindle it has opened up whole new world of reading for me it fits so easily in my purse making it easy to read whenever waiting for someone or just have spare time take it to the gym which makes the treadmill so much easier downloading books was the best thing can choose my authors or any series that interested in the light on the case is awesome as well adore these items would make fabulous gift 1 kindle 3g was very skeptical about switching from any of my traditional books to ebooks but now after looking into the different readers available and finally deciding to try the kindle there no going back love it this device really is designed around comfortable and convenient reading the available free books alone are well worth the one time initial cost of the kindle newspapers are even easier to navigate and read than when printed if you love to read as much do this really is must have 1 love it ve had my kindle for about month now take it everywhere so have something to read if have to wait or am delayed somewhere it so light and easy to use love how can browse the kindle store right from it and download book within moments so easy also like the notes highlights you can put in book the only thing that would make it better is if there were separate file for notes for each book when go in to edit them there is lot of stuff in there to look through overall though quite happy with it runs long time before needing recharge got the case with the light in the corner that does UNK battery life bit but it is still better than cell phone it is very easy on the eyes the print is crisp and clear 1 my kindle love my kindle prefer 3g to wifi more for UNK if your not around signal the only thing miss like to read in UNK and don want to take chance of dropping in water easy to use and download books and games give two thumbs up 1 you got to be kindling coming from 3rd world country its not everyday that we get to experience latest high tech gadgets that really make change in the way you live and say you gotta be kidding well amazon kindle is just the device that may make you say it first its the unbelievable price tag couldn have hoped to own 4th hand kindle for the price just months ago now own the state of the art kindle for just UNK the amount it cost me including shipping secondly its global availability unlike other us devices kindle is shipped to most locations in the world and rather than wait for it to release in your market which has UNK next to nothing you can order it right away and best of all how good it really is now can convert all my documents and notes into kindle format and carry it anywhere and it weighs less than my purse and to top it it has no strain on the eyes kindle for me is dream come true do hope amazon don release newer version soon because will definitely want to own it and possibly couldn afford it hope amazon make available all the mags to the rest of the world as well 1 great idea for the avid reader bought this for my wife who is an avid reader she loves the kindle only negative is the lack of illustrations that can be seen in the original books but are not shown on the kindle overall very happy with the product though now we have all those books to take to half price books so she can buy more ebooks 1 very pleased and delighted this is my 2nd kindle the first kindle global was and still is fabulous reader the kindle white is simply UNK the kindle am so very pleased and delighted using it pretty much non stop since received it no glitches no problems whatsoever the wi fi connected immediately without my having to do anything the 3g also connects flawlessly love my kindles 1 kindle killed the paperback kindle may have done for books what cd did for tape UNK what fantastic product as an avid reader it has already changed my life after downloading two books out of the box running UNK mins after UNK it up for the first time had my new book copy of the UNK times loaded it could not be easier the print is excellent the choice of fonts and page orientation is very impressive the experimental web surfing function should be keeper listening to music while reading is must for me so the mp3 function is brilliant not entirely sure about the voice reading function but the male voice is somehow more normal can see how some people would find it useful though the biggest plus points for me are no more bulky books cluttering my bedroom and at the same time never having to be without book again 1 greatest kindle to date about year ago had made the purchase for the kindle having lacked wireless coverage for my area had made book purchases and updates to furthest page read difficult task however with the kindle wifi this was solved it is much easier to see the text with the new kindle even in darker rooms lighting to hold the new kindle is much lighter and less UNK on the hands was little bit nervous on plastic backing vs UNK on the older version however actually like the new plastic soft feel much better the toggle button can be difficult to press correctly unless using your nail or carefully with the tip of your finger is the only design that can be less desired page load times are much faster and do not take away from the experience for me this has made the reading experience even more enjoyable rather then holding heavy book for hours the kindle buying experience is flawless process and everything is pre loaded with your account information amazon has done great job with this product and wish to thank them for this highly 1 what wanted and more purchased this over month ago there are numerous reviews on this device so anything have to say about will just be UNK for me the main UNK was to save space as ran out of bookshelves and areas to store my books do not have to worry about this anymore except for some high end leather bound books and some favorites can clear out some of the house the device does more than wanted so everything is plus it is very comfortable to hold with its leather bound cover purchased separately go through lot of books and normally buy new not used so the savings of the cost of the books have read on the device has already saved me the cost of the device can say enough about it 1 the extras make all the difference purchased my kindle wi fi about month ago and consider it one of my best purchases the menus are simple and easy to use the location of the page buttons is convenient so can hold my kindle with one hand and still press them with my thumb now for some more UNK comments on the kindle features which were the reason chose it over other devices pros the experimental web browser is big plus while it doesn support some features like UNK and flash the basic functionality allows for surfing news websites and reading and writing mail in my opinion together with the mp3 feature the kindle answers my basic needs when traveling books mails and music this is UNK feature that amazon should keep and UNK even further the device has an actual keyboard instead of touch screen keyboard personal preference of mine the battery lasts for very long time ve been traveling with the kindle for about weeks and used up only about quarter of the battery assume that with more extensive use it would get used up faster but believe the battery can easily last weeks cons the main drawback ve found is the lack of numbers on the keyboard the solution of the sym button that opens up menu of special characters that you select with the way controller is not very convenient if you re writing an mail or note or even of you want to navigate to specific page entering the numbers from the sym menu is bit of hassle think much better solution would be to use the sym button as an alt button that would switch the UNK buttons to special characters like the shift is used for UNK when reading pdfs or surfing the web you can use the aa button to zoom in but then you can scroll left and right smoothly when using the way controller to scroll the screen you can only jump full screen to the right and left this often creates case where the paragraph you re reading is split and you have to keep scrolling left and right when you should have been able to place it in the middle of the screen in spite of these comments above very satisfied with my kindle and hope that amazon would keep improving the software to make it even better 1 very single purpose which is why it is great incredible for reading long battery life great screen lightweight not so great for everything else lack of responsiveness ink takes time to refresh these limitations help it in that they keep distractions to minimum and allow you to just read instead of try and jump to website or do something else it has one purpose and it does it well 1 mostly pleased the kindle itself is great little device it fairly easy to use and the guide that can be downloaded to the reader is very helpful considered getting the larger kindle but decided to go with the less expensive 3g UNK the size and spacing of the font and find it easy to read the kindle UNK are related to the price of books and that can order books anywhere else except amazon realized after got the kindle that my library offered books with this said still think might have bought the kindle anyway because of it high ratings on how it works and the clarity of the print 1 kindle review this device is good electronic book it is very usable purchased it for my wife who was very UNK she has used in extensively and enjoys using it have used it several times and find it to be good UNK 1 perfect it simply perfect high quality of screen high contrast good speed when you change of page only have problem you have to buy case because it doesn come with any 1 would go nuts without mine am UNK junkie and for years every month found myself UNK by stack of paper backs had read was forever giving books away and it UNK my husband that could read books week my choices at the stores were limited when choosing books many times found the same book just with different cover all that changed when got kindle now at just touch can sample the book download it and begin reading if you love to read like do then the kindle is must have the battery lasts an amazing long time the read is easy it does not have built in light but the little clip book lights work well with it the text to speech tried but it is so UNK it puts me to sleep but prefer to read over listening anyway overall can not imagine my life without kindle now 1 really great this device is really cool it is light and small and easy to carry and in effect am carrying around many many books and can switch back and forth between books whenever like 1 kindle rules was not initially convinced that yet another personal UNK device was of an interest to me boy was wrong was introduced to kindle by co workers in the very remote community in which work work there month on month off so am either in transit or in an UNK community much of the time kindle has made my travel and my time away from home UNK more UNK it has literally UNK my load and is now just about the only reading material carry since can download huge range of reading material including technical material related to work can even carry my own technical scientific information downloaded directly from my pc in pdf format am not hugely computer savvy and fortunately the kindle is unbelievably user friendly with most of the functions being quite intuitive it may be selling UNK but find the UNK UNK of any books purchased from the kindle store very UNK of UNK most tech companies are not quick to offer free anything one of the huge selling features for me was the free 3g and wi fi while am browsing the kindle store and the setup for the secure wireless network in my home took only seconds to complete and the automatic UNK with my laptop is clever and useful UNK finally reading on my kindle is wonderful the contrast is much better than printed text and the ability to adjust the font size to match my level of fatigue or fading light conditions really UNK my reading experience think that it is no small thing that this type of reader has the potential to decrease the impact of the many UNK of the UNK and paper issue have nothing negative to report about my kindle so had to give it star rating 1 virtually unlimited reading freedom take my kindle with me wherever go because no matter what doing or where am it enables me to make the most of my free time sitting in doctor waiting room is no longer the trying UNK it used to be since can take my library with me my kindle also makes it easier and less expensive for me to access new books this is especially important to me since live in germany and therefore have to accept the additional time and expense involved when ordering new books from the states but what like most of all is the ease with which can take huge library with me change back and forth between books search books for information and make notes in them and whenever in need of something interesting to read it only brief download away from my incredible electronic library after only one month of using kindle really sold on its value to anyone who keen on reading 1 kindle after kindle for years great new reader received the 1st generation kindle as UNK gift in spring 2008 and have absolutely loved it note gift hence UNK in upgrading to newer version until now when amazon offered smaller size kindle is fantastic product love everything about it except the turn off switch do not understand having to guess you would call it shut down the kindle by holding the switch for seconds the switches are on the back of kindle but simple shift of the switch and the reader turns off wish kindle was as simple minor thing but still complaint 1 love it wanted good UNK reader and UNK this is it pros easy to read long battery life UNK to internet via 3g and wifi you can download samples of every book available and lots of titles only in english cons the book prices aren so good as should be some of them very similar to the printed versions no spanish titles internet navigation is clumsy if you want to do anything but to buy books like check your email or UNK UNK 1 amazing must admit had always been highly interested in the kindle since first read about it release it brings me back to those days of watching UNK and UNK UNK of star trek you know those UNK UNK had been so busy with my life that haven had time to just sit down and read finally decided to purchase one after completed project for my college english class what was the project write product review in UNK format my subject matter that had selected was the kindle compared the price functionality options battery life etc with the sony reader nook and compared the battery life to an apple ipad only using kindle application the kindle out UNK them all and so thought that UNK it purchased my kindle just days ago and already have finished books and have total of 80 books games on my device added my collection of classical music purchased from amazon few months ago 99 songs for and play that when read sometimes the UNK of read books alone is simply amazing war and peace the art of war UNK theory of UNK college UNK textbook even UNK table so happy with my kindle ve been showing it to everyone and talking in great length about the features because researched the product well have been able to answer all of the question put forth to me one of my colleagues would not hand it back over when let him play the free game ever word on it will be purchasing another soon for my mother as she loves to read and it is so easy to use 1 nearly perfect great reader feels UNK and sexy in your hands my biggest issue honestly is with amazon continuing to not upgrade the firmware to allow fun little customization things like custom UNK amazon come on give us the UNK 0 poor screen readability there are many features to like about kindle but it fails the most basic test UNK the screen contrast of black on grey background may work great in direct sunlight but for most of us who read indoors it is difficult to enjoy as you would book even after adjusting font size and other UNK it just is too much of strain on the eyes before you buy please try and find one at store or from friend and make sure you can deal with the poor UNK was very excited to get the kindle but wish had seen one first if so would not have made the purchase 1 no back light love the little kindle but wish all of them had back light instead of having to clip one on 1 ebook eacute UNK UNK que UNK UNK UNK um UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK para UNK UNK 1 in love this is my first book reader the minute lay my hands on it knew it was meant to be the kindle works like dream had absolutely no issues with wi fi UNK or web browsers or constant reboots that others here have mentioned in their reviews was highly apprehensive about the negative opinions and hoped wouldn face the same problems glad to say not in fact love my kindle very very much don go anywhere without it in UNK though pros love the contrast love the keys love the grip great font options very convenient to read on for long periods of time user friendly looks beautiful cons no option to UNK screen savers doesn matter too much the keys at the edge sometimes feel they ll come off probably my biggest UNK no pub support something can do without so yes thank you amazon for wonderful product 1 the space age reader the kindle reminds me of star trek because it is the type of devise that the UNK doctor and UNK use when reading on their own or UNK something to the UNK it is so convenient due to its size am able to carry it around in my purse plus instead of writing notes on the computer the kindle highlights what you want while still allowing you to take notes love how it tracks the location that you highlight at and how it bookmarks it truly is must have for readers from this point on could never go back to regular book reading for whatever reason the kindle makes reading easier and faster fyi there are many other functions that the kindle has just have not had chance to use them all yet thank you kindle UNK 1 ok very happy with the kindle UNK one for my wife and one for myself it is great for regular reading but we love it for waiting situations such as doctor appointments etc we are thinking of these for UNK gifts for our kids UNK 1 won me over thought never use an reader am book UNK who reads no less than or more books week this week decided to test the kindle results are good not perfect but wonderful for those who want to read book and just hate the weekly UNK going to the book store and hoping to find what you want and then liking the authors style of writing am unable to utilize the local library as it is quite distance and am unable to get the latest books when want not to mention the UNK UNK UNK as my life sometimes gets quite UNK this kindle was for me find it took short while to adapt to the format and the UNK of the usage am fairly adapt at techno items and have touch screen phone and use double monitor for pc got used to the UNK pretty quickly and to think have my own personal library at my finger tips is an amazing concept there are many free items as well as books for purchase and books for the younger reader as well as periodicals the nice feature is you get to read the author first chapter free and by then you know if the book is fit for you the screen is legible and adjustable to various fonts as well as spacing and orientation again was hoping for the orientation to automatically adjust but it is manual adjustment also for some reason probably as downloaded the kindle application to my phone thought it would have back light alas realized after some research that the back light is actually harder on the eyes than that of the print it also comes with port for UNK as some books have the option of using voice to follow along that also can be personalize to either female or male as well as the speed depending on your reading it would be nice to see amazon come out with version for the younger reader in cool graphic case as well as highlighted word prompt with the voice reader can see the benefit in teaching the reader the pronunciation as well as UNK in the development of UNK of literary works as well as the quick availability of subjects of interest think amazon did great job with this one and am looking forward to future upgrades perhaps in screen color and touch screen technology got the 3g version as could not imagine wanting book and not having access to it due to lack of wifi no monthly fees can beat that 1 great book reader kindle is very accessible book reader as it was my first purchase from amazon was amazed at the day shipping don see that every day located in UNK as for the kindle it worth every penny the screen seemed small at first but as soon got used to it started to enjoy being able to get almost any book ever want in an instant however if you really dislike small stuff just draw square wide and high and see if you can think about reading from it kindle is easy to use and although never browse the web with it its features besides book reading are UNK you ll especially like the mp3 player and well the UNK game home alt shift it UNK quite bit of my time when tired of reading there is only single downside of the kindle can think of UNK pdf support yes the kindle reads pdfs but it is quite hard to scroll when you read as the scale to width feature leaves lot of blank space well maybe the bummer is UNK for my UNK copy of the red and the black overall however if you read books you ll find kindle attractive and that is what really UNK 1 kindle just received my kindle and it is amazing have already started downloading books and have played many games it fits perfectly in my pocketbook and where ever am waiting just take it out nice and small and thin 1 kindle latest generation absolutely love my kindle like the ease of the navigation the ordering and just reading all can say is bravo bravo bravo still love my kindle but have found by playing word game and using the keyboard the letters are fading away don know what material is used to do the letters on the keyboard but this is something for the UNK to consider because have only had my kindle since october 2010 please consider this suggestion 1 love love love my new kindle resisted buying kindle for long time because wasn sure if like reading on one but have to say that now that have one absolutely love it typically have several books going at once and it so nice to have everything reading on one device so not lugging two or three books with me when travel etc the screen looks so much like an actual book page that forget reading on something other than paper book love it 1 convenient and fun purchased this for long trip between the UNK coast and east so wouldn have to lug along books was reading as knew be coming back with some even UNK and bought the kindle version of the very huge hardcover book had been reading UNK UNK an UNK in the UNK because didn want to bring that big book with me the book is so heavy it very hard to hold and read much less carry in carry on luggage it was the first time outside of my palm UNK that used any sort of ereader and the price couldn be beat it took while for my router to agree to talk to it UNK my ssid as rule and while the kindle would see it when it was UNK it couldn when it wasn UNK even though connected it somehow though managed to get it to work and don know how but it worked fine ever since wish the browser were more robust but in pinch it works well enough it slow and UNK and keep wanting to touch the screen like do on the palm UNK but it also was made clear to me that it was an experimental feature so can really complain at all find the buttons on the sides to be in the wrong place for how hold the machine tend to hold it at the bottom and so want the buttons there or closer to the top and so want the buttons there where they are now is exactly not where they work best for me but learning to adjust can easily hold on to the narrow edges around the screen need more surface area than that to spread my fingers out more and end up with my thumb on the screen itself find the machine alone hard to hold the material is too slippery and feel like straining my hand to grip it well when put it in the leather cover it even heavier but easier to hold but as an ereader itself the machine is really great it froze on me once while in the air and couldn figure out how to reset it so was stuck with the tv on the plane for the rest of the flight but learned later to hold the slide button for something like 15 seconds and it will reset had tried holding the button but not for that long it not frozen up since like that can adjust the text size and the orientation wish it were easier to read in the dark bought small clip on light that works well but adds to the weight it sounds like complained lot for giving it stars but like the machine most of my quibbles are probably just that my quibbles am adjusting really like the very large amount of free reading material available on the site have things on my kindle now that can hand off to my kids to practice reading out loud sometimes 1 great product delivers great reading experience especially for reading ebooks sometimes this experience is compromised with pdf but that is to be expected highly recommend this for the regular reader but don expected to read web pages the refresh rate is way too slow for quick feedback 1 am UNK happy bought my kindle was hesitant to purchase kindle as already had the latest sony reader while easy to use it did not have nearly enough memory to suit my needs had over 600 pdf book files wished to have handy in an reader also the writing was UNK when read in sunlight so purchased the kindle and amazon shipped it to me in record time watched the delivery man place it UNK on my front door step so anyone who not going to be home during the day get it delivered to someone who home or to your work for UNK was delighted at the light as feather weight of the new kindle and really excited when saw the charger for either the usb port on the computer or your normal home wall charger was included and it was adapted in one easy to use cord the instructions were easy to follow and when charging plugged into your wall charged quickly and easily such beautiful screensavers the instructions for pdf file conversions were easy to understand and the customer service is UNK UNK in few questions and was promptly answered with easy to understand UNK my files were quickly converted and UNK downloaded to my new kindle and could not be happier so light and portable and easy to read no eye strain love the large choice of available font sizes and even my converted pdf were able to be read aloud to me wasn sure if that experimental feature would work on pdf everything has been so easy to use and such wonderful buying and using experience UNK recommend this item to anyone who is within my hearing anyone near me in public when read asks me about the kindle and what think and tell them to rush right out and buy one as for the low price you are getting such wonderful wonderful portable library love the experimental features and the wireless web browser was so easy to set up it does so many cool things never thought an reader would do and the memory available is just not to be believed enjoy my kindle every day as am an avid reader and anything that gives me this much pleasure at this low price has to be UNK from the UNK know too many UNK points but there are just not enough to tell you what wonderful deal this is shopped all over the internet comparing prices available memory and functions and no one has anything to come near or compare with the kindle third generation if you re considering buying this stop considering and do it it will be the UNK purchase of your life and you will have no regrets know sure don and enjoy my wonderful kindle every day buy this product am so impressed this is truly the cutting edge of reader technology and UNK to us avid readers anyone you know who loves to read will love this reader what gift it would make for the holidays 1 fantastic it just amazing the kindle 3g is so good do not like how the internet network works in italy but ok this is just silly thing comparing to the UNK really really really good 1 it doesn get any better some products try to do too much some products fall short of their intended promise the kindle on the other hand hits the mark UNK light simple to use clear display and long battery life way to go amazon it has changed the way now choose to read books also recommend the leather cover with the built in reading light brilliant 1 nice after reading couple of books both fact and fiction think like the device size and button location allows holding in one hand in case you were wondering size european text quality is excellent it is possible to change screen orientation and text size wireless works as expected of course some improvements would be welcome am not able to find text size that is 100 good for me only UNK so image zooming is bit too simple and stupid UNK reference links with the direction pad is slow and UNK ll recommend 1 comfort the best is the ink based UNK on the screen after reading it feels like book shopping on kindle store is also easy and friendly 1 love it love it UNK my kindle for my birthday and love it have room on my book shelf and have downloaded all my UNK and just love the simplicity of it 1 works great but little small for my hands the kindle is well made device that just works as described the text is excellent it fun to use and really easy to download books the only thing little dissatisfied with is the size and this is really UNK but after awhile my hand gets tired also kind of wished had purchased the 3g model so could download in more places this is the 2nd kindle ve purchased and very happy with it 1 some real pros and cons about the kindle here are some common complaints that disagree with about the latest kindle amazon can lower the price because they have used cheap and flimsy UNK disagree to me it feels solid no loose buttons everything is sturdy and feels high quality wish could say the same for the cell phone just bought no touch screen think the touch screen thing is getting little out of hand don want fingerprints on my reading panel the buttons are easy and convenient hope amazon does not UNK in to the touch screen UNK and keeps this device simple few years back had friend who wore UNK that had UNK UNK in the bottom novel idea yes useful probably not love my ipod touch but don need everything to be touch screen some people prefer the nook little lcd screen on the bottom maybe it because if see something shiny get distracted but need simple device for reading otherwise won read for the same reason disagree with some people complaint of the kindle inferior web browser and mp3 player they want better web browser or better mp3 player haven even looked for the mp3 player on my kindle yet because afraid that once find it ll stop reading after every pages to go listen to my favorite new kids on the UNK song in college had lot of pdf to read and the biggest problem with that is had to read them on computer computer that could play movies surf the internet play games balance my budget send receive emails edit videos read news play music and check up on my social network never got anything done in college because my pc did everything wasn supposed to be doing during UNK time the days forgot my computer were some of my most productive days feel free to disagree with me if you are multi UNK UNK but know that for me and most people we would never read more than pages on an ipad without going to facebook to check our wall or searching youtube for funny video of kid who was still high from his recent visit to the UNK the buttons are too small for my fat fingers don use the kindle for heavy data entry and you shouldn either it is meant for reading not writing the buttons are handy for short notes to UNK highlight or little facebook note to go with your quote but extensive typing is not what this is meant for it consumption device not creation device here are some complaints have complaint no epub format on the kindle would love to be able to borrow books from the library read or books every month but only really buy single book every year because of the magic of public libraries obviously the superior features and pricing of the new kindle made me justify the lack of epub and buy the kindle anyway like the images the kindle shows when in standby mode but it would be cool to be able to choose the images that are most UNK to me not big deal but it would be nice to have pictures of my favorite authors and UNK pop up here are some features UNK while researching which ereader to buy free out of copyright books have had my kindle for month now and have read several free books that are great did buy book to read but so far it is far less interesting than the free books ve downloaded was worried about having to budget for several books per month but the free books will keep me busy for awhile before ll have to start to actually buy books being able to keep my highlights and access them online is dream come true do lot of public speaking which requires quotes and comments from some books and in the old days had to write with pencil on some paper the interesting quotes from my books it took forever and slowed down my reading UNK now just highlight as read along with very little effort and months later while typing an email or UNK speech might remember an interesting story or quote about UNK UNK from one of his UNK which can easily look up in my online archive of highlights from my kindle it so valuable to me that may go back and reread old paper books that ve already read but this time on my kindle just so can collect those highlights in one place and not have to deal with keeping written notebook of highlights it incredibly valuable similar to the last comment have loved how easy it is from my kindle to post highlight with my own comment on my facebook wall without having to leave my book to go to facebook in the past ve read really powerful passage that ve manually had to UNK onto my facebook wall to share with others ve seen other people facebook UNK from their kindles and it interesting to me to see what others are reading and to get these cool quotes on my wall from what they are reading makes the whole reading experience much more fun who needs to join book club 1 kindle rocks in love with my kindle so happy to have it and especially to tell others about it did have problem with my first one but cs took care of it right away wonderful service even my hubby who was reluctant about the purchase finds himself borrowing mine every night 1 star review and still sent it back love my kindle and am going to miss it but just couldn justify having paid close to 200 for UNK 3g kindle having it for less than month and the arrows wearing off know could have had amazon customer service replace it but didn want to replace my brand new k3 with UNK one so after debating for week decided would send it back and just purchase new one to replace the one am sending back if only they could promise that the would send me brand new kindle may even just go to target and buy new one this evening UNK customer services was amazing they UNK and understood which makes me feel much better about buying kindle vs the nook just hope they fix this UNK yes it is on amazon kindle discussion UNK problem 1 amazing for the price had seen other ebook readers in stores and they didn impress me especially their displays and internet access when this kindle 3g came out for 189 couldn resist and tried it out must say that was pleasantly surprised at the speed the display the wifi access and the 3g access simply put the 3g access to the web is incredibly fast for both pictures and text wasn expecting to be able to go to my web page and see about 20 UNK and several page worth of text in about 15 20 seconds and was at ny state park enjoying UNK then was further amazed as did some email and read over google news with comparable speed to my cable connection at home plus the kindle will switch between the 3g and wireless automatically to give the extra boost in speed when near wifi now you already know that getting ebooks is easy on this device but my doubts UNK around being able to read pdf papers that had to read for my UNK with the ability to view documents rotated this is quite the pdf document viewer was still able to read in normal orientation but the text was small but very crisp most importantly don think they could do any better with how amazingly crisp the display is the only thing that could be added would be backlight for darker rooms but hey you have this amazing portable device go outside and read who needs backlight to UNK web access 3g wireless 10 10 screen 10 10 pdf viewing 10 10 buying another one before they change this and start charging for 3g web access 1 much better UNK ipad bought ipads wifi and ipad 3g for me and for my family it was big mistake it is exciting at beginning but suck in many many ways then UNK the new kindle and wow it was great just out of the box with his incredible lightweight kindle does just few things but it is an ultra specialized device with extraordinary performance no other way to read ebooks apple is trying to fight it offering better deals to UNK and this is why ebook prices go up on the amazon shop but they should just stop this war because reading books on ipad is just as bad as reading on computer the kindle screen is just UNK UNK 1 this is great device to UNK reading had UNK story book which was destroyed by nail UNK UNK compared to the UNK story book kindle is slimmer and lighter perfect size for reading the story book is too heavy has wifi bought wifi version UNK twice the size of UNK price less than half of the UNK price great design the next page button is larger than previous page which is very UNK button pressing is also better than UNK the page refreshing is also much faster than UNK black frame gives better contrast some minor bugs haha couldnt post on facebook system hang nothing else highly recommend this k3 best device in the ebook reader market 1 kindle 3g wireless UNK never been big fan of reading text from computer screen therefore was reluctant to purchase kindle at first however after reading the features decide to try it am very glad that did one of the biggest selling points for me was the ability to do download in other countries currently am living in mexico the process of doing this is simple and fast it works at every wireless site that have visited here immediately found that this is not like reading from video screen the screen will UNK you that you are reading printed page in just few seconds the light weight and conveniently placed keys make the kindle disappear when you are reading the availability of the dictionary at the touch of key is wonderful you do not have to UNK with two large books as you are reading or worse yet go find the dictionary when you have gotten comfortable reading in your favorite place the extended length batteries make the kindle more friendly than your cell phone which has to be plugged in every couple of days would highly recommend the kindle to any serious reader 1 accessible purchased the new kindle wi fi with display for my 20 something daughter who has UNK UNK her UNK UNK most of her UNK including her vision we love the kindle was little worried about the display size but this has not been problem the screen is very clear with good contrast and the ability to change the font size helps reduce eye fatigue and increases her ability to read for longer periods of time when she simply can read any more she turns on the text to speech and let it read to her this feature is noted as experimental but it is fairly well developed with choice of either male or female voice the sound is clear and UNK and the software UNK UNK and some UNK inflection overall give this feature the device is lightweight and easy to hold and the buttons to change the page are easy to operate in our case it would have been nice to lock out one side to avoid accidental UNK while holding but this is not huge problem page turns are quick and cause only small flicker about the same speed as flipping paper copy my only real complaint is the on off switch which is little tricky due to its location on the bottom edge and its sliding type function the software UNK to purchase books are very convenient and easy to use and amazon wide selection of current titles UNK the limited public resources in our area wish the kindle had been around when my daughter was in high school it has lots of ability to help increase her independent reading and study so pleased that am planning to buy one for each of my other able UNK kids it is convenient and green way to keep them reading too 1 kindle wifi love the kindle read continually and it is so nice to be able to just order another book on line rather than run to which is out of my way it so easy to hold much easier than book love it love it 1 kindle purchased this as gift for my husband my daughter and several friends have one and they are very pleased with theirs am sure when give this to my husband he will be delighted 1 sooo easy easy to download books easy to pay for them great for travelling since it fits in my purse 1 kindle love my new kindle easy to tote along and pull out when waiting in the doctor office etc still love my regular books but my kindle will be great asset as we travel 1 UNK kindle read all the time and therefore collected books like crazy was UNK them to others and then they would pass them down finally gave myself gift of the kindle love it it makes reading so much easier need reading glasses but if don feel like putting them on can increase the size of the font and read without glasses carry it everywhere with me because you never know when you will get chance to read like at the doctor office when they are running late really like the feature of ordering book and in seconds it right there for you 1 review on kindle the kindle 3g version is great it is really very portable and easy to read 1 UNK second day of using our kindles bought one for me and one for my wife this purpose specific reading device is just what we were looking for plus the amazon UNK is really an amazing place to find not so expensive titles good idea amazon 1 love my 3rd kindle the new kindle is the 3rd kindle have purchased and love it love that can download all of my books to all of my kindles easily the books are great but the best part is that the books love are no longer laying around my house the 3g network is awesome and when you find collection of books for half price of print it like christmas for UNK 1 as expected fantastic my wife has had the kindle for almost year now and she just loves it got little jealous and had to have one myself so bought the k3 month ago and couldn be happier bought the wifi only model and it is just great it downloads books at UNK speeds as expected have to be honest don read as much as my wife she reads constantly just casual reader since got the k3 have become an avid reader don read as often as she does because watch little more tv than she does if you re still on the fence about getting the kindle it time to jump off 1 very happy with my kindle there lot of things like in the kindle downloading books is easy safe and works well the choice of books is impressive also in foreign languages the price of books nice to pay 20 50 or 70 less than in bookstore the possibility to download samples to get an idea before buying the quality of reading and the customization of fonts line spacing etc the built in dictionary use it all the time ve read all my life UNK and thought that would miss the paper feeling from regular books but no when reading on my kindle feel like reading in regular book 1 kindle 3g vs sony ebook reader have had the kindle 3g for few weeks now and so far am very happy with it previously had the sony ebook reader prs 505 which absolutely loved but unfortunately mine had problem with after the last few updates up to the point that it needed resetting every time charged it and then took forever to upload contents and trying to UNK every document doubt this is general problem with the sony ebook reader and more side effect of mine being dropped once be UNK of where you put down your ebook reader if there is an UNK cat close by it would probably work fine with complete reset but decided change was in order and chose the kindle so for anyone UNK between the kindle and the sony they are both very good and UNK for different reasons have listed the main differences that may or may not help make up your mind the sony looks lot UNK than the kindle plastic can look cheap but suppose also makes it lighter and with one of the nice leather covers around it the kindle certainly doesn look cheap and it also lets you add notes which the sony doesn with the sony you can sync add manage all your new books and documents via the ebook library on your computer and already sort them into your various collections while you re at it on the kindle you just drag and drop everything you want into documents folder in some ways lot easier actually prefer it but it would be nice to be able to drag and drop into various folders according to my collections so don have to do that manually later on if this is possible on the kindle someone please tell me how because tried and ended up with no documents with the sony you have the option of more user friendly formats UNK for your own documents tried to add all my documents which were all UNK to the kindle as had read somewhere in the UNK that you can use UNK well you can unless you go through the process of emailing them to your account for UNK or something like that they just don show up on your kindle haven tried the emailing process so not sure how it works so if you want to read your own documents directly without the need for special formatting you ll have to use txt or pdf but haven tried that once you know that it fine just save all my new documents for the kindle as txt now but did have to UNK all of my 150 documents from UNK to txt in order to be able to read them on the kindle because really didn want to UNK to the even more tedious process of emailing each document for UNK not sure what to do with the collection of free classic books that came with the sony not sure if they can be UNK bookmarking is much quicker on the sony with just one click of button no need to access the menu and also easier to look through and choose your various bookmarks it took me while to find on the kindle but as they both remember where you left off even if you switch documents suppose bookmarks aren all that important both have good contrast although think the sony is slightly better at certain angles ve had few sticky moments with light UNK with the kindle that didn have with the sony and of course with both of them you ll need light source when dark but you do have more choices in text size on the kindle which is very nice and love the screensavers on the kindle very cool big plus find with the sony you can give in page numbers if you want to jump around within document which do lot because quite honestly the UNK on the kindle just don get them don understand the UNK behind them thought had cracked it the other day but alas was wrong if wanted to jump ahead or back 10 or more pages with the sony just chose the page number wanted now have to go through several steps so that can type in number of some completely unknown UNK because don know how they are generated and hope end up somewhere close to where wanted to be why amazon can just use page numbers don know it is so much easier to go from page UNK to page UNK than from UNK UNK UNK to how am supposed to know what UNK page UNK has big plus for the kindle of course is the 3g and whispernet so you are completely independent of your computer as far as purchasing new books magazines or newspapers go brilliant for people who are always on the move of course it means you are restricted to purchasing things from amazon which you are not with the sony but with the sony you need your pc to purchase and transfer ebooks to your reader if like you mostly purchase things from amazon anyway or mainly use your ebook reader for reading personal documents that fact shouldn really bother you gather from other reviews that amazon com doesn offer much in the way of foreign language books so that could be problem if english isn your preferred reading language memory space with the kindle 3g you can extend the memory space with the sony you can use either sd cards or memory UNK to extend the memory of your reader but gb is quite lot of space to fill up used UNK sd card on the sony and all my documents and books over 250 only took up about 200 UNK so think it will take lot of books and documents to even get close to filling up gb unless of course you add music into the UNK then you might have problem battery power both seem to have really good batteries so charge lasts well over week if you turn 3g off not quite so long with it on but if you don use it all the time why use up battery power it quick enough to turn on again really like both readers still getting used to the kindle and haven tried out all its possibilities yet so for some things still prefer my old sony suppose my only pet UNK with the kindle so far are the UNK everything else is just case of getting used to the differences in handling 1 kindle for south american user well the story is this an english teacher at an english teaching UNK in UNK and all can say is this product has completely made my day by every single detail it has first of all all of the specifications of it UNK be more perfect 2nd the internet come on just can believe this little UNK can be so well done 3rd as reading UNK can say more than UNK to this beautiful UNK just read whenever not teaching overall the kindle has set up completely new UNK in reading for me even in spite of all of my UNK for real books UNK amazon 1 great product love my kindle it fits in my purse and take it everywhere especially on airplanes 1 love it love the kindle it is so much easier than having book and UNK keeping up with my place have books downloaded to read when finish the one am on like that the kindle books are less expensive and don have to store bunch of books later on it is light and easy to read do accidentally push the button that turns the page if switch hands that am using to hold it downloading is simple keep the network off until am using it and haven had to charge my battery yet and it is still half full don leave it on UNK unless am coming right back so the battery hasn been problem for me at all it is little inconvenient turning it off because you have to hold the button for minute or so but can deal with it am so glad that got this no buyers remorse here 1 kindle amazon did it again owned kindle and decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the kindle am glad made the switch contrast is much better than the 1st generation as well as faster screen refreshes the controls are intuitive and are easier to use with the larger next page and previous page buttons on the 1st generation you were more prone to accidentally change pages you had to be careful not problem with the latest generation this one is also thinner and lighter than the 1st generation and easier to hold would definitely buy this again 1 new kindle must have we have owned the 2nd generation kindle for over year now since my husband and are both big readers we decided we had to have second kindle the new latest generation was affordable and turned out to be exactly what we wanted my new kindle is smaller lighter and very comfortable to hold the new charcoal color is stylish and prefer it the wi fi feature makes this kindle just about perfect it was able to find and join our home network with no problem at all now we can get book in seconds download wikipedia page in practically no time not to mention browse the kindle store quickly and efficiently the display is sharper than the old one although very detailed graphics are still not quite perfect the UNK buttons are easy to use and the battery lasts practically forever this is marvelous machine and considering the price for the wi fi version don understand why everyone doesn have one 1 best ebook reader in the market kindle is truly the best ebook reader in the market it low cost doesn UNK it capabilities amazing screen battery life and design 1 the kindle was the right choice for me spent most of the summer trying to decide which reader would be right for me had already been reading couple of books on my itouch from both the barnes and noble and the kindle free apps loved having my books so handy so knew that would like an reader but couldn decide between the nook or the kindle in the UNK of time amazon announced the kindle with all its improvements that was it couldn be happier bought the leather cover without the light and love it with the cover on it dropped my kindle out of bed and it was fine ve had it little over month now and am just recharging it for the first time today amazing of course that is with the wi fi turned off unless actually downloading book have definitely made the right choice for me 1 love the kindle love the kindle it so light don even notice it in my hands sometimes love how you can buy books and it downloads into the kindle in under minute love looking for the free books because love to read but don have lot of money to put out for books the free books are good books ve read them in UNK and high school and enjoyed reading them then and enjoy reading them now downloaded music to it and the speakers are really good my son gets UNK at night and play music from it or have it read book aloud and he falls asleep soon after love the kindle highly recommend it 1 love my kindle love this thing it downloads books in seconds would suggest adding back light had to order clip on light wi fi is ok UNK slow and hard to read but got it mainly for the books read alot 1 best one ever the only thing that made me hesitate buying the amazon kindle was having to mail order it mean really hesitated tried the kobo it crashed and was slow took it back tried the sony prs 300 and the 600 it was hard to read took it back my iphone is okay for short reading UNK of say 15 mins but the brightness is UNK on the eyes then my friend finally ordered kindle once had it in my hands knew it was absolutely perfect for me ordered mine that night couldn be happier with my purchase the screen is beautiful to read it light it fits in my hands nice love the page turn buttons on both sides so that way if one arm goes UNK can switch my only gripe is that whispersync is only for amazon paid purchases which means if download public domain title from website yes can put it on my kindle but it doesn whispersync with my iphone and kindle app on my mac quick note about shipping from canada so most canadians are familiar with ups super saver which we love to avoid because they charge you 30 extra at the door for UNK fees wanted to let all my fellow canadians know that if you choose the most expensive shipping method as did days believe there are no extra fees at the door even though it came ups 1 excellent with important weak points found the new generation kindle an excellent tool its size and colour the display contrast the improvements on several UNK are really very much welcome two major points according to my opinion need to be improved the UNK accepted epub format should be added to the kindle UNK formats one should have the possibility of reading the titles of the music library choosing among those titles the one you wish to play 1 simply fantastic buy this on amazon com and shipped to italy using ups in days see the whispernet 3g is running very well also very simple to use and configure wifi for web browsing and so on but the display weight and usability of this kindle is really impressive simply fantastic very fast usability is excellent think just the books price need to be lowered but it just time problem simply waiting bit and think will be very cheaper to buy consider that here in italy only amazon have books from what know so my opinion take it at all just an email reader is missing but think it not so needed 1 question what are the practical differences between the 3g 3g wifi kindles what are the practical differences between the 3g kindle and the 3g wifi kindle own the 3g wifi k3 and am considering the wifi only version for my daughter 1 excellent product best ebook reader on the market ve owned this kindle since it was released in august reading on this unit is an absolute pleasure the text is extremely crisp and there is zero glare allowing you to read for hours the unit is surprising light to give you an idea it weighs less than my UNK this means you can hold it in one hand without feeling any strain on the wrist love receiving my newspaper every morning on the kindle this is the way to go in terms of savings on your UNK and the environment thanks to the kindle reading more than ever and couldnt be happier great price too 1 it has kindled love love this product screen is easy to read controls are responsive and UNK UNK to the reading experience page is plenty big enough to fit lot of content on it fast reader and the page turning is fast enough to keep up with me and not UNK my progress on the book kindle store delivers content very fast ink is beautiful 1 love my new kindle was so excited to get my latest generation kindle it so fun and convenient for reading and ordering books love how it was already set up for me when got it home complete with the instructions built in the convenient online store and the cute screen savers also the day before it came amazon sent me information about it and website with loads of information for any questions would have the only thing would change is where the page turning buttons are sometimes find myself accidentally turning the page because the buttons are where like to hold it but that is personal preference and don know if anyone else has that problem recommend this item to everyone 0 no wi fi connection possible for me really wanted to love this product it light thin and the screen looks great however it just wouldn connect to any of my networks tried everything over two separate networks secured UNK mac UNK on off different UNK two emails to customer support and one telephone call and still no joy was told that the product doesn work with apple airport express which must affect thousands of users not just me both of my networks are fine with UNK macbook pros UNK UNK printers etc and both use different UNK and wireless networks this means the problem must lie with the kindle sadly have returned the product as had to ship to and from japan will lose fair amount in postage for product that is UNK defective did receive shopping UNK which covers about third of my shipping and import tax UNK feel have been UNK too bad 0 disappointed poor ergonomics worn keys have kindle2 and really like it the only thing would have asked for on it was better screen contrast that is the main reason bought the the kindle it does have much better screen contrast but that about the only advantage my major complaint about the kindle is that they made it too small for someone with larger hands the old size fit just right and could turn pages and hold it easily and comfortably with one hand the k3 is too small for that and what with the controls on the bottom of the device they are irritating when you hold the k3 in your hand or rest it on something have to decide whether or not to return the k3 which sucks more screen that could use more contrast or devise that very annoying to hold amazon why not make the kindle in different sizes the old size and the new size other issues with the k3 after weeks the lettering has UNK off on many of the keys and the menu button haven even used the the keys yet the lettering is coming off from UNK contact when hold the k3 like the k2 the browser function is completely worthless and the mp3 player isn much more useful but then again you shouldn be buying this device for web or music functions 0 kindle wi fi not ordered kindle wi fi 08 28 10 waited weeks for delivery on backorder after downloading couple of books device unable to connect to my wi fi to download books UNK books downloaded via computer and transfered to kindle what the point of the kindle one of the biggest selling points was the ability to download books directly to kindle to add UNK to UNK after UNK UNK to trouble UNK rebooting resetting hard rebooting kindle support promised to call me back after researching solution after no call back call support back to be informed kindle support has UNK been researching the problem for solution for week to no avail when requested that kindle amazon simply replace the device kindle support amazon UNK since they have not figured out the problem replacing the device is not something they would do what it as though the great customer service relationship built over years of purchases the last few as prime member is being UNK in this one kindle transaction read all the good reviews on the kindle but my experience with the wi fi device and kindle support services has been anything but good buyer beware 1 love my kindle have had my kindle for several weeks now and just love it am taking online university classes and much of the reading material is UNK through pdfs in the past had to either sit at the computer for hours every evening after sitting at the computer all day at work or kill small UNK printing these on paper now just load the pdfs onto my kindle can read in bed sitting in chair or just about anywhere anytime as can carry my kindle in my purse it looks so stylish with hot pink cover have also downloaded few books using my home wireless network just to tell you how seamless it is to go from paper to the kindle get so caught up in reading that often forget that my kindle isn paperback and actually try to turn the page one of my co workers had purchased an reader from large electronic company and after month hated it so much that she went out and bought kindle too 1 overall good product but with quality control issue ve tried altogether three 3rd generation kindles all with wifi and free 3g the first one arrived with UNK on the screen screen defect so got replacement second one but the replacement page turn was significantly slower even when it was indexing or downloading or whatever it is doing in the background the page turn was much slower than the first one got and the third one then asked for third one to be send to me the arrows and words on the second one are fading as well the third one has great page turn speed and was still quick when indexing so the slow page turn problem when indexing isn consistent among all kindles the arrows and words didn fade at all so thought now the third one finally got it right but now the problem with the third one is that the contrast isn as good as my second one what bummer downloaded the latest software update on both the second and the third ones so was hoping that the contrast will be the same after that it is still not but the page turn for my second one did speed up little but still not as good as the third one ve also noticed for my second one that when my hands holding the kindle and my body UNK are warm the kindle page turn speed will start to slow down when kindle got UNK after putting it down on glass table or on my UNK UNK for couple of minutes to cool down the kindle the page turn speed went back to normal the third one also has little physical casing problem at the bottom of the kindle the back isn UNK fit so that there will be UNK when pushing down the home button and the font changing key so after weighing in the pros and cons of my second and third ones ve decided to keep the second one since the contrast is better and thus better reading experience it shame that the page turn speed is not optimal really slow page turn when there is something going on in the background as well as when it got warm and the letters are fading but really don want to try fourth one anymore it just very tiresome and time consuming because have many books this is the reason that gave it stars if could give it give it instead of the quality control is big issue just think that the 3rd generation kindle got released way too fast in order to beat the nook and thus compromised on quality control across the board would still recommend kindle to others since the price is pretty good and it is fairly small and light and hoping that in time all the UNK will be resolved 1 kindle wireless reading device love my kindle bought it after watching review on UNK by UNK UNK UNK described the product in detail and it was exactly as reviewed even went bought another one for friend totally recommended and the service to australia by amazon was super fast and efficient downloads of books in 60 seconds what joy excellent christmas present for special people in your life 1 purchased this for my wife and she loves it she takes it with her everywhere and really enjoys it the only drawback is that some of her favorite classics are not available yet and that some of the releases take longer to be released in the kindle format but have no doubt that soon these will both be concerns of the past 1 best investment this year purchased the kindle next generation just over weeks ago before leaving on driving vacation have not been disappointed did my research before purchasing and chose the kindle based on capabilities and cost was able to quickly load new books that wanted along for the drive ahead of time searched via wifi while on vacation to check the capabilities and was only unable to connect couple of times outstanding as long as your wifi is turned off the battery life is vastly extended used it at the beach for several days was able to easily read with absolutely no glare purchased the cover as well for protection and it was handy keeper for my kindle while either in my purse or in the UNK extremely happy 1 good bought this about month ago and so far it has worked as expected ve been able to upload pdfs books and some UNK pages that after convert was able to read in my kindle ve used the browser for internet searches and it been good so far the only thing is that it kind of slow to use mainly because there is no mouse pad you have to use the buttons and honestly that sucks if they add some sort of mouse pad like notebooks it would be much better as for reading books liking it it easy to use and you can UNK lines and when close the file and come back to it it at the same page last saw so don have to go looking for it so far ve had no trouble handling it 1 kindle really enjoying my new kindle 3g it amazing how fast books are downloaded to it am really enjoying being able to sample many of the books offered some chapters before deciding to purchase them find myself trying different kinds of books than would normally pick up 1 great device was debating about which device to get am very happy that bought the 3g wifi device the downloads are very fast love the fact you can do click purchase and it very easy to use have had my kindle for about month now and have read about books already and purchased quite bunch more take it with me everywhere and it great totally recommend it to anyone am still learning all of its capabilities but so far it great good job amazon 1 love my kindle bought the kindle for my mom she is 85 UNK but we both use it can imagine life before kindle we love it love it love it customer service is very good too 1 this is for reading and for that fantastic the new kindle is extremely satisfying to read actually found that reading physical books has become far less satisfying because of my kindle and its weight and portability just makes me extremely happy with my purchase ve already saved bit on purchasing the books that are available and being able to open the books on my laptop or phone has proved extremely useful sending personal files via email to my kindle also makes it easy to send UNK or other UNK class document to have with me is also great feature and in pinch you can use the web browser to check email etc and that really all could ask for the best part is amazon is going nowhere and so it worth taking the risk at this point in the 3rd generation of the device took one look at the sony ereader and nook and UNK and was glad had bought the 3rd gen kindle UNK and got the non 3g version have UNK with UNK and have found the need for 3g connection all the time to be rather unnecessary the 140 price point is money 1 kindle UNK really in love with my new kindle my previous and first ebook reader was kindle and really was very good good text and nice pictures with great numbers of grayscale UNK however the screen of this 3rd generation is really huge improvement especially in terms of contrast the text is sharp with black color much deeper than any other ink display ve ever seen equipped with 4gb of space of them user accessible the space will never be problem another huge improvement comes from the battery UNK now with wireless off can read for 25 days with single charge this is very important for people travelling lot like me with whispernet UNK ve purchased the 3g version to shop and buy books it joke wherever we are so no matter if you have previous generation kindle or never UNK ebook reader before the 3rd generation kindle it the right choice 1 great product great price great product great price compare to sony prs 300 bigger screen more memory wi fi works well with cyrillic characters books without firmware re flash just convert books to mobi format it would be nice if amazon included with the reader cover or protective sleeve 1 kindle vs ipad chose hands down the kindle over the ipad would primarily use both devices for reading and downloading books so for me to pay monthly fee for 3g with the ipad would have been crazy it free with the kindle so far absolutely love my device if reading is your primary function the kindle over the ipad is no brainer 1 kindle got this for my husband for his birthday he loves it it does so much more than just books not knowing that got him that for his birthday my birthday was days later and he had gotten me one for my birthday so we now have they are great gifts 1 an amazing reading device got to play with my dad k2 and was impressed enough to look into the k3 and finally ordered the device after weeks am so much more impressed with the k3 then remember with the k2 use to be voracious reader years ago but never did like buying books and the library is not convenient anymore what really like about the kindle is all the great classics are free or UNK so if don like it or don get around to it feel no UNK case in point still feel UNK UNK sitting on my shelf in hardcover calling me after 20 years asking me when going to finish reading it the device is light easy to use works flawlessly inexpensive and just looks cool for the traveler that likes to read this is must try packing or books into your suit case and you will know it time for an electronic book 0 love it this was my second kindle just like with the first it did every thing it promised it would love the lighter weight and since have added the bible take my kindle instead of the bible my sight is impaired and it is much easier to read than my bible and going to chapters and UNK is snap love that able to get sample book before decide to buy customer service is great 1 love my new kindle as millions of others do too love my new UNK kindle as other have noted sure wish that the fonts of pdf were able to be enlarged while keeping the format never have connection problems and to date the product has been reliable it keeper 0 the screen is ok but like the ink screen and since that is the main feature of the kindle can give it less than small stars but in my world not quite is so that is what it gets planned to use my kindle to read tech books on in tech books code UNK play big UNK so it is important that they don get too UNK my first book was not available in kindle format so bought it off the publisher UNK com in pdf format than UNK to plug the kindle to my pc and transfered to pdf to the kindle now thought was ready to read opened the pdf on my kindle and discovered that the kindle UNK in either showing the pdf UNK which is unreadable small on screen or could zoom in or portion of the pdf but not whole line at the time no matter what did the pdf was impossible to read very dissapointed after UNK from my initial UNK learned that the pdf could be converted to kindle format by sending it to my kindle magic mail UNK ok sent to pdf to the magic mail and true enough within minute had the book on my kindle in kindle format opened the book and started reading but the pdf conversion was not perfect and it wasn even good get three severe problems then index is completely UNK unreadable and unusable tables inside the book are broken up and unreadable in one case the left column of the table was just removed from the text about of the in the book are removed it looks like everytime the pdf reads fi the kindle version reads so get UNK UNK of file and UNK instead of fine code UNK are pretty much unreadable adobe has format called epub that suspect might be better for pdf conversion adobe UNK both formats but alas the kindle as the only ebook reader UNK read the epub format also signed up to be UNK of of the kindle no answer hate that kind of thing amazon should be happy that anyone is willing to develop apps to their device one more thing kindle books cost as much and sometimes more than the paperback edition that is just crazy the UNK material for the kindle said that lot of older books is available for free for the kindle not true in the kindle store even ancient books by UNK or UNK costs money cheap isn free my kindle with cover UNK me UNK but with taxes and shipping to europe it came at UNK if thought that the last UNK wasn lost would have returned my kindle UNK tried any other ebook readers but if was convinced that the eink screen on another reader was just as good as the kindle would have UNK that instead the sony readers look good conclusion the eink display is good but everything else seems to suck am not impressed and would have UNK another product given the chance 1 kindle glad to get the new kindle with its enhanced screen and faster page transition good product and the speed is an asset for me since prefer not to UNK through page changes battery life is good providing remember to shut off the UNK would like to have color screen for pictures and UNK as may be in the print edition however good color screen with the same resolution and page advance speed would UNK five star from me 1 love it absolutely love my kindle it is so easy to use and love the huge selection of books available 1 in love absolutely love my new kindle it is everything had hoped it would be and more thought about this purchase for three long months before deciding to invest in the kindle and have not regretted it even one little bit am excited to share what the kindle is as well as all the cool things it can do with all of my friends thanks for an awesome product 1 an order of UNK beyond kindle 1st gen well ve had few days now to compare the latest generation kindle 3g wi fi display to the 1st generation kindle acquired almost exactly two years ago love that k1 ve never had problem with it and use it to read for several hours day with no ill effect except perhaps for delayed UNK UNK my one UNK gripe was that felt the k1 screen bit gray flat for my reading comfort however this was easily UNK by UNK that read primarily in bright light which went long way toward improving the perceived lack of adequate contrast the device does have few UNK but pretty much everything else about it has been top notch and it has provided top notch reading experience last thing ll say about the k1 is that for the first several days that owned it would UNK reach for physical page to turn when it was time to do so the device itself pretty much disappeared within moments of my first experience with the 3rd generation kindle plus the store brand leather cover light it immediately UNK out as different from its UNK most removed UNK it sleek UNK thin tablet with very little wasted space if any it feels sturdy and UNK UNK it the same impression you get when shutting well UNK car door the rubber meets the road sorry with the k3 screen which was my main reason for upgrading and for being grateful that did so even in UNK lighting it really pops have no problem reading for extended periods under lighting that would have eventually lead to eye strain for me with the k1 and under bed side UNK spot it virtually UNK from printed page as for the software hardware it appears that the UNK is real improvement over that of the k1 UNK options improved web browsing ability to UNK font word line spacing etc while navigation and page turning seem lot faster than the 1st gen device it funny to me when first began reading on the k3 noticed that kept UNK to the next page slightly early and was losing the UNK ends of the last sentence on the page it didn take me long to realize that UNK accustomed to the slower page turn of the k1 during which click to advance with several words remaining on the page and have plenty of time to read them in any case had to adjust very slightly for the k3 speed ll save review of the companion cover with light for review of the companion cover with light UNK it to say that it also appears to be well made and the thoroughly adequate light was brilliant touch still find it annoying that amazon won produce case that has means of UNK the device into the case at several UNK points but you can UNK the elastic band around the back of the folded case and back around the lower corner of the kindle that seems to reduce the potential for the kindle UNK the attachment UNK or UNK where they hook to the device even simple elastic UNK to secure each of the the kindle right hand corners to the cover would really help and be simple to accomplish one would think in closing giving the latest generation kindle rating of with point off simply because haven had it long enough to determine how UNK UNK the device will prove to be ll update as conditions warrant but the upgrade seems to have been well worth it thus far 1 UNK my kindle is UNK it also UNK alot of attention the amount of people asking how to get one and how it works is UNK reading time can be bit difficult at work since someone is always stopping to ask questions about the kindle my husband purchased it for mother day and by far it is the best gift ever the kindle is so easy to use and download books too will reccomend it to all who UNK about my kindle 1 wow this UNK should get some kind of national UNK as an old guy poor eyesight this kindle has been gift from heaven thanks 1 easy reading an old man with many years of reading books no more books for me can carry several books in this little device where ever go built in dictionary fantastic it my habit to read three or four books at the same time no problem this device keeps track of where stop reading and goes back to that place whenever want to return thanks UNK 1 kindle 3g love the kindle easy to use easy to get books from amazon glad bought it 1 you can have it back love my new kindle as an avid reader was not certain that wanted to give up holding the actual book friend at work talked me into ordering the kindle and am UNK extremely happy now had even gotten stuck in the UNK of reading the same author over and over again with kindle have been willing to test out the free books and haven read single book by the same author yet of course still have my favorites ordering new books has proven to be very simple due to my interest in the books am reading haven learned much about the other tricks my kindle can do but am looking forward to it 1 the best ebook reader this UNK should be considered the ebook reader the previous UNK were just failed necessary attempts this has the right weight the right contrast the right form factor and the right features that makes it true ebook reader reading on the kindle is better than reading book the keyboard is nice and can type quite fast on it 1 kindle review bought this kindle for my husband for our anniversary in august and he loves it have the 2nd edition kindle and love this new one bought for him it smaller in size without UNK the screen size if you love to read this is the perfect gadget 1 great iteration this is my first kindle and am extremely impressed with both the device and the service after using the kindle app on my android phone was excited to get started with the real device the contrast is much better than the last kindle which used on few UNK the overall hardware design is now more streamlined and it really adds to the usability of the device can wait to have some more extended reading sessions with this thing 1 great product recommend this device not only to book readers but also for UNK purposes as UNK use the kindle as legal acts reader regards 1 finally since the kindle first UNK had wanted one waited patiently for the price to drop bit and then when the wifi only version came out jumped at the chance to fall in love with the kindle had looked at other ereaders but always came back to the kindle the battery life is really as long as it says ve even left my wireless on for while the buttons are in the right place and haven had any problems with where they are the buttons for the letters are on the small side but as someone that uses smartphone they re not that small and are easy to adjust to surfing the kindle store is pretty easy though maybe not as intuitive as would like when and if they come out with touchscreen it will be great advance 1 kindle UNK easier to read and learn than expected think am going to like it even can use it when you are getting your UNK done or practically lying down wish the case with the light were 20 cheaper 1 absolutely love it had the older generation which was great itself switched to this one now and its amazing its light sleek and functional think kindle is lot more practical in terms of design size and use and affordable than ipad highly recommend this to students and UNK who have lot of online pdf readings and generally any one who reads lot it just perfect for traveling long and short UNK with long UNK life 1 nook no more purchased nook last spring it was so slow and spent endless hours on the phone with technical support because my nook froze every other week kindle 3g wi fi is the UNK right out of the box it had downloaded my books that had UNK easy wifi set up super fast million times better than my nook thanks amazon for the superior product that is the kindle 1 the UNK to read so about month ago wanted to read book read book you say really thats like UNK you don read and well don or at least haven not book anyways mostly ve been reading online on blogs on websites in text messages an mail but haven sat down and read book something with UNK so the smart thing would have been buy book right ya but listen books are heavy no really they are ok bad reason the real reason don have one felt UNK like the kindle is UNK of future you know what it is and it good thing it like UNK gadget it get you to read books why because books are heavy they re UNK to carry around the kindle is thin and small how many books can you fit in your hand in the morning or between the coffee and car keys my kindle hundreds of books fits right between my keys and coffee not that ve now read hundreds of books ve read couple but now reading books instead of blog and carrying books around and something should be said about that not that my UNK has improved any amazon get on that 1 excellent product am really enjoying my kindle some of features which appreciate most are quality of text battery life easy access to kindle store automatic bookmarks easy navigation earlier carrying multiple types of books UNK was never so easy now with kindle you can easily do that also reading for long period of time on kindle seems good thank you kindle 1 excellent just received the kindle yesterday and am loving it you can go online if you re near place that has wi fi browse on the internet and order your books directly from the kindle recommend this to anyone who loves to read and doesn want to have the hassle of pile of books 1 inch or dx version UNK and UNK about buying kindle having decided to purchase one then UNK and UNK about whether to go for the dx large version or the standard one as usually very UNK person my UNK and UNK and amount of research that did is most UNK in the end went for the standard size inch kindle and am glad did it is perfectly sized for reading as it paper back sized and do think the dx would have been too big to carry around and hold the service from amazon was amazing ordered from UNK on monday night got call from ups in UNK tuesday morning asking for my UNK number you can buy anything here without this and was told it would be with me the following day as it turned out it arrived on thursday which was pretty good all the way from the us and the driver found my house easily which makes him the first courier from anywhere to do so anyway in terms of the product itself bought it because the range and price of books in UNK is poor because spend three months year in australia where the prices are UNK and ii the weight of taking enough books to last three months is major weight concern having now used the kindle think my UNK are going to be well met it is fast and easy to use the download of books is UNK fast everything set up immediately when charged it up and am absolutely delighted that bought one am now going to buy one for my husband who needs larger type and you can change type face and size easily yes it would be nice to have color screen touch screen especially for iphone users such as myself and the text to speech is UNK no doubt these issues will be addressed in future development but if you re looking for way to read in comfort and without having house full of books have thousands and think have now stopped the increase with the kindle you can do better than buying one of these did buy the cover with light for it and think this was very worth while one final upside as live in sunny country the test of reading in the sun has been to the test and it brilliant one final downside am disappointed about the price of the books in comparison with the paperbacks versions as kindles seem to be often more expensive but do understand this isn amazon thoughts let just hope that the publishers on both sides of the UNK will see sense and see the kindle for what it is means of increasing book purchasing rather than trying to UNK the market with high prices regardless of that buy one one question if anyone can answer it why does one have to purchase from the us if outside of the uk 1 love kindle purchased kindle from amazon because am losing my sight you can enlarge the fonts it will read to you love it it is so easy to handle and so easy to get books 1 love my kindle my kindle was gift from my husband along with an apple green cover with built in book light both items are wonderful really love my kindle take it with me everywhere the paper like quality of the screen is wonderful it doesn cause eye strain like reading from back lit device can get new book to read whenever want it saves UNK because don have to drive around to bookstores to find the books want to read it saves trees because although will still want some books in paper most of my new books will be kindle books it is so convenient and easy to carry it syncs with my phone and my computer so if need be can read on those as well although prefer to read on my kindle in fact haven found anything don like about my kindle it rocks UNK UNK 1 better than expected like every aspect of my kindle it just perfect for reading ebooks and other documents strongly recommend it 1 UNK good choice wasn sure about purchasing kindle from us site to use it in italy but now ve seen that it had been the right choice it works fine and can use my new ebook reader daily reading news or whatever want probably in the future it would be better to have device capable to read epub files because many italian publishers are developing ebook store sites that will sell their products in epub format with epub reading capabilities kindle would be the best reader on the planet that just my opinion obviously ps had some trouble during the registration process and needed to make device reset don know why probably network connection issue or something like that but now it just works for UNK UNK UNK UNK la UNK egrave UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK mi UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK male egrave UNK fare UNK UNK UNK in internet all UNK online UNK UNK UNK UNK file UNK device UNK UNK UNK UNK non UNK UNK un UNK UNK UNK le UNK UNK del kindle con il software UNK calibre UNK UNK 1 functional with some UNK pros excellent size excellent weight excellent ink contrast excellent storage capacity for reading music is another topic excellent font zoom on ebooks not pdf excellent battery duration and recharge time cons document navigation gets slower as more annotations are made web browser can be closed maybe explaining slowness on annotations handy back button but missing forward button in case of accidental back you lose where you were reading screen UNK delay gets longer the further you read book screen UNK under direct light why do need to buy another plastic protection for the screen it wasn even suggested when was buying the kindle and now have to pay more UNK lists can be UNK from the UNK to the beginning you need to browse all the way from the beginning to the end no support for epub format perfect pdf support but useless due to its strict format you can only read it with too much zoom out and extremely small text or with normal zoom but panning through the page UNK it is UNK the next previous page buttons are too far from thumbs so you need to use both hands to read one to grab it and the other one to scroll can download content through internal browser if content type isn correctly set on web server an option might let me force to download with the format know am downloading wish have almost not needed the included english english dictionary which might be useful but some spanish english dictionary might be more UNK UNK language how long will the ink on keys UNK usage some plastic or glass protection on each key would be nice automatic pdf conversion to ebook format kindle mail convert function helps lot but internet connection is required UNK browser support for home UNK capability to shut down data mode on usb from the device not only from the pc so it can be used only to charge without need of UNK on the computer UNK match for search is UNK but also have needed only UNK and only UNK UNK what about multi word match on text with other words in between it would be interesting some kind of google on paragraph level 1 love it absolutely love my kindle it is so easy use wasn sure like an ebook reader had tried to nook and returned it but decided to give the kindle go and sure am glad did love it the screen is crisp and clear books download in seconds it lightweight and easy to bring along page turns are smooth and silent still learning all the UNK and out of this wonderful little piece of technology but sure am glad took the plunge and got it highly recommend 0 no epub this product will never really make the big time like the pc did because it doesn have epub without epub you don have access to the public library market so the use for UNK UNK and UNK is compromised it is also sadly missing an UNK feature the competitors will soon pick all of the kindle best features and add them to their devices that do have epub unless amazon gets on the curve kindle will end up being only an entertainment device that you continually need to UNK money to 1 everyone should have kindle this is very good product that we bought for our constantly reading high school son we were always making to trips month to keep books in his hands with the kindle 3g he has been able to download books virtually anytime and anywhere the battery life is excellent and the screen is also excellent it has an easy to read screen even in bright light or outdoors there is no eye strain or UNK the kindle to get good angle for reading would also recommend the kindle cover with light as it protects the kindle and the built in light is perfect for reading while in bed 1 love my kindle ok this is the very first review have ever written on anything in my UNK years of life and must tell the world why love my kindle love books and was afraid would miss turning the pages and holding them and underlining in them and UNK from them and the kindle is perfect for me purchased the 139 model at target with the cute little book cover with the little light that connects via the kindle for nighttime reading can underline phrases or write notes and save in section called my clippings love the ease of ordering from amazon and when had trouble moving books from computer to my kindle the help line was wonderful bring it with my in my purse everywhere go so if have minute to spare can read the books are 40 off and amazon UNK me deals on books UNK to my previous UNK authors topics for 99 put it on my treadmill to read while walk and brought it on the airplane carrying my 10 books of choice in my kindle rather than getting charged 50 for heavy suitcase filled with books when turn it off the kindle returns me to the spot where left off it is so much fun ordering from amazon sit in coffee shop and connect to the amazon kindle store and read reviews on books and shop say it to my husband everyday love my kindle 1 heart my UNK just UNK up from my k2 to UNK love it it more compact better contrast easier to page turn while reading everything it UNK itself to be bring mine to the beach waiting rooms work to the park etc if you love to read get yourself one you will read much more often also appreciate the link that was included to help me transfer the content of my previous kindle 1 not the best for older eyes did enjoy the kindle over all it was great wifi work very well at home my problems were mostly my age over 70 and do read alot the kindle print was great just would get head UNK in very short time thinking it was just me also read paper books without the same results the only other problems were holding the kindle and having to turn pages more often did wish could get books at more books stores returned mine after weeks 1 more than expected ordered this kindle because wanted to be able to take more than one book with me as go places and to be able to read books while am driving places this kindle has exceeded my expectations love how convenient and easy it is to use when first received it thought there was screen cover and then realized that there was nothing on the screen it was the actual screen love how easy it is to read in the sun and just attach little book light to read at night in bed would recommend this to anyone who loves to read have added several bible types and use it every sunday in church and during my bible studies it is great to quickly jump from one bible version to another without having to carry several bibles was not person who really loved reading until now this kindle has made it easier for me to jump between several books and enjoy my UNK by listening to book don hesitate on this it is worth the money and am planning on getting one for my husband so he can listen to his UNK manuals on his hour and 20 minute commute to work each day way to go amazon on this awesome reading device 1 wonderful reader love this reader it clear non glare screen is very easy on the eyes amazon has out done themselves the size is compact easy to carry in my purse great for traveling many thanks amazon 1 better and better skipped 2nd generation and went from the first to the new 3rd it is terrific it easy to use nice to read the battery lasts forever and it has UNK of memory loving it 1 love my kindle had hoped to get the kindle last christmas but when did UNK get it decided to get it for myself when the price went to 139 00 it came just in time for two week hospital stay with my husband didn have to leave to buy books with the kindle cover with the light was able to read anytime without disturbing my husband plan to buy both of my UNK UNK one for christmas 1 love my kindle this is my second kindle gave my kindle to my son and purchased kindle for myself absolutely love the new kindle and use it everyday thanks amazon for an awesome product 1 best 200 ever spent brilliant product two recommendations to kindle roller ball instead of pad and key lettering that doesn fade so easily other than that ve been reading more than ever have before including multiple books at one time because it doesn feel like UNK the one book by putting it down just switch screens on the same book can check mail play music it UNK it feels great in hands bought the mighty bright light for 15 which works fine 1 great gadget for travelling this is my first experience of using an ebook reader apart from UNK UNK at them in shops the page change was my biggest concern but it fast and smooth enough to not be noticeable in fact the entire experience is that the device becomes invisible you focus on reading the book not on the device and the interface that exactly what one would hope for in reader 1 kindle am very impressed with the kindle it is easy to use and nice to read would recommend to anyone who reads lot 1 amazing kindle bought it to my friend it was so cool and now we can read books without paper in the end decided to buy another for myself 1 first time kindle user have never used any kind of reader before ve played with the UNK gen kindle that friend owned and the nook in stores but that it ve been holding out because just thought buy one and then they come out with something even better well can say that very happy waited for the kindle because it is fantastic ve been using it for around week so far pretty heavily and haven had problem yet it was really simple to get going and figure out how to use most of the functions used everyday along with some you don use too often also haven had any freezes or anything like that like some people have complained of not sure if this has been addressed by amazon in the time from when was reading reviews to when finally received my own or not but haven had the problem super satisfied and happy with my purchase so far ve always been an avid reader and feel like this has enhanced my UNK even more especially love that can pick up where left off reading on my iphone app as well when don have my kindle and vice versa that amazing no more darn forgot my book at home moments cannot imagine ever going back now love it 1 so far so good enjoying this thing didn have much expectation but it actually not bad little gadget remains to be seen how well it UNK 1 have discovered new electronic world of books don have device to compare my kindle to as this is my first ebook have read using my smartphone laptop and computer before but it just not the same as real book my eyes get tired fast it uncomfortable to lay down with devices etc kindle in the other hand is real deal feels like book and reads like book really enjoying this ink technology buying books in amazon store is very easy book UNK and trial magazine and newspaper subscriptions are just UNK up the cake downsides have noticed so far were pdf are hard to read and manage annotations are available only in english if you ship around the world it makes sense to UNK cyrillic UNK arabic etc to the existing keys back button is located too close to the pad not all formats are supported would recommend kindle to anyone who likes reading it really nice product and reasonably priced too 1 reading UNK have been wanting an ebook reader ever since read about the ink technology all the people who claim to love reading on ipad iphone netbook or any other electronic toy need to answer just one question if they have print out and the same contents on an lcd screen which one would they prefer most people would prefer the print out the eye strain caused by an lcd screen is not immediately obvious yet preference for paper print UNK clearly indicates eye strain does exist thank you amazon for realizing this and UNK medium that UNK with good old paper instead of trying to compete with numerous other UNK display UNK many reviewers have written about the exceptional quality of the eink display second those opinions the kindle eink display is indeed the best of the UNK two things that caused me to finally pull the trigger on kindle wifi price previous generations of the kindle were priced high thought the included 3g plan with lifetime usage was driving up the price of the kindle since the kindle doesn require an internet connection after the books are downloaded the 3g seemed like an UNK with the UNK of wifi only model amazon has UNK no brainer price after buying the current kindle realize that the interface is so UNK and feature packed that it is definitely worth more than its current price with the UNK of wifi amazon has addressed one more sore point of most portable devices transfer of documents or files from the computer to the portable device most devices require you to plug in your device with usb cable the worst UNK require you to plug in using proprietary cable and install god awful software to UNK transfer your documents to the device ipad am looking at you the wifi kindle UNK all that UNK just email your document to your free kindle address and the document shows up in your kindle no UNK for UNK or usb UNK no UNK of software of course the usb cable option is still available for transferring large number of files by simple drag and drop would still like to see some improvements in this wifi file transfer feature UNK user should be able to drag drop his files into kindle application on the pc and files should show up on the kindle device books bought through the kindle application do show up but this should be available for personal documents as well even better if the files are transferred over the UNK instead of internet so that large file transfers are not slow understand there maybe technical difficulties in making that happen atleast the user should be able to access the documents folder on the kindle as shared folder on the local network many people have complained about the confusing nature of the location feature feel amazon hasn UNK explained this feature in the user manual the location number shown at the bottom of the screen contains two numbers UNK by if you need to jump to specific location you should enter only first of two numbers this is not mentioned in user manual nor is the UNK of the second number also on the kindle device if you enter the location number and press the enter key nothing happens you have to specifically select the location option using the way controller after entering the location number this is not how most readers work while these are the few complaints that have see that there are so many things amazon has got right simple things like showing the meaning of word when you place the cursor over it pressing the alt key to convert the top row of letters into numbers hitting the menu button to show the status bar etc initially found the reader lacking in some areas but after reading the user manual realized amazon has included an elegant solution for most problems this is feature packed device suggest everyone read the user manual to fully utilize the kindle overall this is must have device for people who love to read the ipad may be the current it device but kindle is the UNK you cannot go wrong with the kindle if you are looking for reading UNK 1 kindle UNK have lot of electronics but the kindle is my favorite purchased the kindle in september and love it no regrets and anyone who loves to read should own one the kindle and will be friends for long time get one 1 great product was trying to decide on an ipad or kindle the main reason wanted the ipad was reading books though there are other uses that will be more important later so decided to get the kindle and hope that holds me over until they release the next version of the ipad boy was that the right decision love reading on the kindle it easy on the eyes it light and the battery life is beyond amazing it not great for the larger UNK type books read at times but for regular business books and fiction don know how it can be beat extremely happy with my kindle purchase 1 perfect for studies as student of UNK engineering who gets all the UNK via pdf decided to use the kindle instead of printing all the documents which need for studies with the ability to highlight important parts of the text and UNK the possibility to create notes in very easy way the kindle is able to substitute the old fashioned way of working with the documents am also very convinced of the sound quality the kindle is able to play the readability of the electronic paper is better than the readability of real paper last but not least would like to notice that the shipping from the us to germany took just days and didn have troubles with customs UNK 1 love it had bought sony ereader for myself and found the downloading of books pain bought the kindle for my UNK year old mother and it is wonderful lightweight easy to see and downloads instantly wish had the kindle for myself 1 kindle gift for 30th anniversary UNK birthday in UNK purchased kindle for myself and love it have never read so much in my whole life so far about 25 books for me so kept telling my husband UNK he should have one too but he said no don think would like it just used to holding book etc etc my same old reasons why didn think would like one or get used to one then one friday morning we were looking at email and one from amazon caught his eye it was about new book out from favorite author of his and he said have not read that yet and are you sure it really new checked and told him yes it new just released last tuesday he said will need to go to barnes and get that today then he was busy doing UNK work and never made it over to the book store which is about 20 miles away anyway on sunday evening he was packing to go out of town for work and came into the living room where was reading and said you know what UNK think want kindle for christmas it was the fact that he could have down loaded that book he wanted and already be reading it that got him told him then already had ordered one for his UNK UNK birthday and our 30th anniversary next week so the following week gave it to him showed him how to down load book and he was on his way the following day after reading for most of the day he looked at me and said love my kindle happy reading to all yesterday he told me that his suggestion for the next generation would be small clock on the very bottom so you didn loose all track of al time my suggestion would be no clock loose track of the time 1 my first ebook reader it really an amazing product if you try it once you ll want to buy it it makes the reading experience easier and more enjoyable my first language is italian so wish there were more italian books to choose from though 1 ebook like most things about the kindle 3g it is compact easy to use and has terrific battery life as well as mind UNK storage capacity however after bought it discovered that one can download books from the library while the nook and at least one other do allow it had realized that would have UNK for the nook instead not big issue if one buys all his her books but have limited income and like to use the library for older books new and popular ones buy 1 139 kindle best buy ever the 139 kindle is the best buy ever does everything it promises and is easy to operate luv it 1 it rocks was UNK not sure that would like the kindle am die hard book reader but this has been great experience it easy to use and easy to read love that can change the size of the font so it is easier to read as get more tired at night 1 kindle wireless love it bought the kindle wireless reading device wi fi display graphite latest generation bring it with me everywhere it is easy to download book from amazon to your kindle there is no glare to the screen so viewing in bright sunlight is not problem am hoping more books will be added to amazon library though as there are books that would like that are not on there overall have found plenty of books to keep me well UNK and satisfied so that can continue to enjoy reading on my kindle for long time am now getting one for my mother in law for christmas one really big plus is that you no longer have to worry about books piling up on shelves or figuring out where to put them in your house highly recommend kindle 1 books UNK read or listen to something every day on my kindle it is so easy to access books and so easy to carry around so light weight such good contrast can already see that ll be reading more and more ve had my kindle two weeks read every day and the battery is still going for long time didn really think would want kindle since was enjoying my ipod so much but got UNK by kindle new design and it capabilities that decided to buy one sure glad did 1 excellent device but one UNK request the first part of the review UNK on the device and then have comments on ebook pricing as book reader would rate the kindle 95 out of 100 and device like the ipad would rate 45 in my opinion lighter and more portable inch ipad might rate around 65 the kindle design clearly has the book reader in mind while the ipad excels in other areas some important features in an ebook reader extremely long battery life check light weight check only about the weight of the current ipad and that makes huge difference screen that is easy on the eyes check the eink technology is extremely impressive and needs to be seen to be believed in fact would say right now actually prefer the text quality of the kindle compared to most books very impressive sunlight no problem at all built in dictionary the built in dictionary is one of the reasons bought the kindle and it works great and is so much faster then using physical dictionary or even an electronic one on computer page navigation very fast is there tiny amount of lag while the screen UNK yes but am not bothered by it at all can turn pages in this device so much faster then normal book it is not even funny if you stop reading an ebook to do something else it remembers where you left off durability do have concerns about any device with physical keyboard buttons like the kindle time will tell but did buy case for it since the kindle appears somewhat fragile due to its light weight one of the main reasons was UNK to buy the kindle was that if offered free 3g for mobile web browsing would rate the ipad 90 and the kindle 45 not having fast UNK color or touch screen hurts the kindle web browsing but it obviously helps the battery life and keeping the weight down if the kindle simply had minor UNK that allowed you to set the default font size magnification for browsing to an individual preference then would UNK up the score to UNK if you want larger text you have to reset it after every new web page you encounter since the default font size is very small on the kindle so the kindle is UNK web browser but for my use case it is actually better web browser then the ipad since it is lighter and the 3g is free and the kindle is over 400 cheaper then the least expensive ipad with 3g if was planning to browse the web over 3g quite often then would UNK for the ipad and its 25 per month 3g service since it is much better browsing experience UNK if the web browsing experience got too good on the kindle amazon would be forced to charge for it to UNK use but amazon could afford to UNK improve it further without customers UNK the free 3g now for the criticism the kindle is great ebook reader that will end up saving lots of trees but in all UNK the street price of ebooks should only be about 50 60 of the street price of normal paperback book why physical book can easily be lent to others and an amazon ebook can paperback book can be UNK or UNK and an ebook with the kindle can most customers are not UNK they recognize these drawbacks that is the biggest downside of ebooks right now if publishers want to encourage truly mass market UNK they should not be too UNK they are obviously saving tremendous amount of money on reduced distribution costs and reduced manufacturing costs it is somewhat understandable why publishers don want ebooks to be individually UNK or UNK used ebook is as good as new but their pricing should reflect this otherwise millions of people who would consider ebooks will continue to buy physical books since in most cases they would offer better value for me may only consider buying ebooks that are not priced UNK if expect the book to have lots of words that need to look up 1 new kindle user really enjoy the kindle and the convenience of traveling with it the free book section is wonderful 1 easy to read since am older have difficulty reading smaller print large print books are very bulky heavy to hold and often hard to get the kindle is light easy to hold and the ability to change the type size to make reading easier on the eyes is wonderful 1 great product with high potential for improvement bought my UNK about month ago and have to admit that this product is superb and it will be revolution in your reading style in this review however want to highlight some of the UNK improvements for the next generations it would be amazing if there is built in clock in the next generations sometimes would like to check the time and UNK doesn have built in clock kindle should have dedicated numeric keys in its keyboard the lack of continuous zooming for pdfs is highly felt navigation through very long files is not very easy marking multiple documents into category in the homepage is not efficient kindle shows all other documents copied in it when you want to mark multiple documents this makes the process very uncomfortable you will feel this issue if you copy for example 20 books all at once when you already have 40 other documents other than the above the device is just great 1 awesome have wanted kindle for over year and finally broke down and bought one when ran out of book shelf space am amazed this is the coolest thing ever have only had it for about 24 hours but am in love read lot have already finished whole book and wear glasses it doesn hurt my eyes at all to read for extended periods of time the screen and the clarity are far better than any other ereader have looked into and took it outside today without glare on the page not tech savvy person but its way easy to navigate and only took about 15 seconds to download my book anyways for anyone looking pure enjoyable reading experience definitely recommend this products kudos amazon kudos 1 oacute UNK reader UNK at eacute UNK comprar um kindle mas me UNK ideal para UNK em UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK oacute UNK UNK UNK de UNK oacute UNK UNK UNK em UNK UNK de UNK UNK de UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK kindle UNK ipad UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK do UNK 1 kindle lover had trouble getting my kindle going but it was my fault when my tech guy set up my wi fi in december he didn tell me how he UNK in my password when he came to the house it took him minutes to figure out and have me set up am an avid reader and in one week have read two books was always hesitant to read in restaurant but with my kindle no one knows what doing it fits in my purse and is so convenient to carry love it and have recommended it to several people including someone who works an office supply store who sells them don hesitate to buy one traveling is great because you can download your books first and then not have to worry about running out of something to read wish had my kindle when went on cruise this past spring great product 1 kindle is the best this is my first ereader chose the kindle due to the reviews really enjoy reading books on the device the screen is clear and easy to read have read more books these past few days than have in year just want to read and read it compact and fits easily in my purse highly recommend the amazon kindle for your ereader 0 display was damaged UNK this UNK kindle and it was damaged it was in bad conditions and took too much money to get it replacement because had to pay shipping back besides when calling for support the service was not good at all it is very common damage the screen was UNK unreadable 1 the kindle is great never had kindle before but read the reviews and am happy to say it was exactly what expected and love it bought one for my UNK daughter friend and myself no one has had single complaint we love the covers and skin that are available also the only thing amazon could change is letting us share books with each other 1 my third kindle am impressed with this new edition of the kindle my third kindle am an avid reader and enjoy taking one small device instead of many books when travel 1 UNK love it love it and the people at amazon are so nice and UNK 1 UNK after UNK have only had the kindle for less then UNK hence can only provide first impressions like the size and even though graphite colour is not my thing why not sell the white one outside of the states still like the elegant and slim style of the reader have pre purchased books and sample and my kindle came preloaded with my account the kindle is truly no fuss product get it out of the box turn it on starts up in less then UNK which think is amazing for any device at first use and the books loaded in less than UNK in minutes was reading no fiddling with charging and loading stuff just turn it on excellent have UNK started reading but had to stop after short while not sure it is due to my terrible eyes but after my UNK of reading got headache now work with computers all day long so it could just have been the UNK switch between looking at monitor to the ink something have never experienced before but it seems might be one of the very few whose eyes will have to take time to get used to this new technology UNK reading and noticed what was missing the UNK of book you know when you open up book on page UNK and you start reading you see where the letters are deeper and where the letters are more to the top especially if you fold your books out while reading the kindle link does not provide the feeling of UNK it is plain and no UNK will create that feel have also tried reading whilst commuting great portability but experienced glare when the sun UNK on it not sure how it will perform on beach with me wearing UNK and UNK but will certainly give it try this weekend purchased leather case with light and again no fuss product the kindle UNK nicely into the case and am usually an idiot when it comes to stuff like UNK or UNK and the light is very handy however for me that little led light is not enough to make reading comfortable in the dark need extra lights but did find them handy when had to travel in train UNK with not so functional lighting like the dictionary feature as well very handy to look up words you might not be familiar with even thought it might sound am not overly impressed after my first UNK of kindle UNK am satisfied customer don see the kindle as an excellent alternative to all books can see kindle replacing my complete library or stopping me from buying paper based books but it is certainly good alternative to buy UNK or current releases at bargain price live in sydney where new release paperback cost UNK the kindle price of 10 UNK means at least 50 saving this is price advantage pretty hard to beat so guess will be using my kindle to read bestsellers and books can put up with missing out on the smell of the UNK printed pages and the kind texture of words leading me to adventures in my UNK kindle is the first step on revolutionary road something similar to when book printing was introduced in the 16th century and am glad to be able to say to my UNK once your UNK used to read books on paper when she was young but she also read ebooks when they started to become more available in the UNK 1 better than advertised after great deal of comparison decided on kindle over an ipad it UNK down to cost and function after holding an ipad for less than five minutes decided it UNK too much and did way to much don need another computer to show people photographs don need tablet the size of small UNK sheet needed something to read books pdfs and newspapers the kindle does it all nearly flawlessly nothing is perfect and the newspaper editions subscribe to are not yet complete digital versions photos and drawings are necessarily black and white yes the ipad can serve as an ereader and even use kindle app but after about two minutes grew tired of the UNK page flipping with digital books on the ipad it actually easier and more convenient while holding the kindle to simply press UNK with my thumb on the side of the unit and the screen of my kindle is unbeatable for readability for an extended period of time the battery lasts longer can tuck the unit with it cover sold separately unfortunately in small bag yet the screen is about the size of small notebook it loaded with features need none that don 3g wifi version at the current price of 189 is vastly more value than an ipad at UNK bucks depending on the version my advice is buy what you need not what company says you need and that includes amazon right now there is nothing that UNK with the kindle for what it does 1 best book reader on the market but still not perfect let me start off by saying that the kindle wi fi 3g is the best overall book reader on the market so have officially had my kindle 3g wifi for weeks now so believe it has been UNK time to UNK the real pros cons of the device and hopefully what amazon will change on the next update so first off the amount of books that you can buy for free alone pays off the price of the kindle the ink screen is an amazing replacement for an actual book and is very easy on the eyes no matter how long you read read for hrs straight on my flight from new york and the screen did not put any strain on my eyes page turning is very fast about second the web browser overall is pretty good for non mouse compatible touch screen device it was kind of slow on both wi fi and 3g but was still able to load all the web sites that desired to go to the speakers on the device are overall pretty solid they dont obviously don have any UNK but that is expected although this device is very good for the money there are few things that should be changed have them listed in cons but there are couple that found especially disturbing on the fact that this is supposed to be the best book reader on the market first off the system UNK not when turning pages but overall scrolling through your list of books scrolling through the web browser and in general the system is slower than the user would want it to be but hopefully that will be fixed with any upcoming updates secondly the fact that the music player does not have its own independent program understand that this is supposed to be strictly an book reader but amazon must understand that sometimes some people may want to listen to music instead of reading book they would find it lot easier if they could choose the song they wanted to listen to overall this device is an excellent choice for any avid reader and anyone who wished to save loads of money of books that they would otherwise have to pay for in print version do have my issues with the device but those issues can all be addressed during the next system update whenever that may be strongly suggest that anyone who is interested in purchasing this product please pick it up and give it try know that best buy and target are starting to sell them so you can always play with it there before purchasing it on amazon pros amount of free books available texture of ink screen is beautiful UNK sound meaning it is not made from cheap plastic can be held in one hand rather easily which makes it perfect replacement for paperback book free 3g free dictionaries for word look up during reading battery life have had mine for three weeks now and have used 3g and wi fi and the battery is still around 25 free games cons 3g can be very slow compared to wi fi connection no independent program for music text to speech is very UNK UNK and do not UNK real voice in any way web browser is under experimental instead of just being under menu no number pad on qwerty keyboard although you get used to it over time UNK movement of the cursor is slower than users movement some books may cost more than their paperback counterparts 1 simply UNK absolutely love my new kindle hubby got it for me for my birthday am very busy and do not have nearly the UNK once had to sit down and read book the kindle gives me the opportunity to get my reading time in any time and where with the amazing UNK of different UNK for reference personal UNK and even games doctor office waiting or any time spent waiting can now be turned into my reading time the sleek design allows for easy transport and storage it was created with the busy avid reader in mind and is very user friendly the kindle makes the ipad look over priced and UNK kudos to kindle UNK 1 great for commuting UNK to UNK with limited bookshelf space decided to try to replace some of my books with kindle solution what good choice have increased my commuting time from bus 20 minutes to UNK hrs the kindle is great don have to worry about having something to read the pages don get UNK don take up much space on the bus and the kindle is easy to read in lower light overall good investment haven tried to replace all my books am trying to replace those tend to re read am still hoping for few of my favorite authors releasing some of their older titles my favorites in kindle format 1 wise decision purchasing kindle 3g am so impressed with my kindle 3g use it all the time so light to hold onto easy to see in any light so quick transferred my gym UNK from my pdf files onto kindle and take it to the gym when am doing UNK read my novel when weight UNK have all my UNK in front of me love it the web browser could use little work would only use it if had no other choice also wish it had clock on it but it works perfectly for what purchased it for recommend it to everybody know it was great having my local newspaper when was away on vacation but to purchase it monthly is too expensive could go on and on about the features but there are too many if you are thinking about buying an book this is the one for sure 1 kindle had kindle for about months sold it to upgrade to kindle love kindle the new features and size are great now am able to list my books by collection wish for page numbers and better selection of kindle covers overall am very pleased 1 impressed never thought like the electronic reader actually like the weight of book and turning the pages however love my kindle it is so convenient to just slide into my purse and take to appointments one never knows how long one might have to wait these days and with kindle it doesn matter can keep reading it is fun to use fun to fill with books and just fun to own my UNK techie won on the purchase and UNK by having this tool 1 absolutely perfect purchased this little over week ago and must say that it absolutely perfect able to download ton of books even some textbook for school it much easier on my back carrying little kindle latest generation than it would be to carry my already 40 books in bag everything is adjustable text size rotation etc and it great for all ages and abilities it so great my son requested one for his 9th birthday awaiting shipment of it as we speak shipping was super fast too receiving it almost two weeks before originally estimated 1 great reading device but browser needs improvement the kindle is great reading device but the browser is slow the UNK device is clumsy there is lot of room for improvement in this area 1 better than kindle very nice light weight better contrast much better controls joystick sucked the prices for new books are UNK will not pay for them until they fall to 99 or less lots of cheaper books haven read yet 1 flawless UNK all my expectations in every way it is the perfect book reading device the text image quality is amazing 0 amazon kindle is not what expected first ordered kindle 3g wireless it did not work frozen kindle expert at UNK said to turn it off and then back on there is no way to reboot the device it would not turn off and would not work was told to send it back they sent new one that worked found it to be not user friendly at all it seems you have to had already owned kindle to know what they are talking about in the user guide they take for granted that you know all their terms wispernet opening the browser was impossible this was gift for my wife and we are ready to send it back not UNK the UNK 1 just love my kindle am so happy with finally getting my kindle am able to read what ever want whenever want find the battery life very good and really like the wifi feature have had it month so far and have had no problems and have only charged it once use it all the time and have downloaded many books mostly free have few books that bought second time so didnt have to carry them in my purse my only criticism is that there is no back light wish it had one but maybe in the future 1 met my expectations very good very easy to use like the way it connects the book being read to all my computers so can read both on computer and kindle keeping my place 1 kindle 3g wireless was very reluctant to try an electronic reading device as am lover of books yes books the feel of them in my hands however broke down and bought this device after friend did love it will still probably keep and read some actual books but the convenience of having so many at my fingertips is incredible the UNK claim they want you to get lost in your reading to the point that you forget what you are holding and caught myself doing just that the light weight is much better than the weight of conventional book was easily able to hold it in one hand while reading can carry it with me throughout my day reading several different books newspapers etc without having to lug all around just my kindle freedom to read more an avid reader will love one of these see it as convenience not compromise 1 wow just love my kindle it so easy to have book with me wherever go great for waiting in doc office and such if had complaint it would be that it is little difficult to hold the kindle and not hit the page turn button but am learning 1 must if you read bought my kindle month ago and have already purchased another to give as gift anyone who is an avid reader should own one it simple to use much more convenient than your typical book and you can get comfortable if you read whilst in bed purchasing books has never been easier and lots and lots of free kindle books are available through amazon if you have reader on your holiday gift giving list this is must have if you purchase cover spend little extra and get the cover with the light built in another must have 1 brilliant so here is an honest review the product is great does exactly what you would want an reader to do has the techno UNK thing going for it and to me has several key benefits easy to read vs an lcd computer ipad whatever its highly portable and compact you can get rid of those books on your bookshelf you never read UNK and in the case of nyc apartment really reduce clutter it UNK you to want to read incredible battery life instant gratification okay so amazon revolutionized book buying by making it so you no longer had to go to the store but days in the mail is bit of time now you can get it in 60 seconds notes you can take notes in your book without UNK up the book battery life incredible for sure general comments flash to black when you switch pages the screen flashes black and the refreshes itself which is definitely annoying at first but you stop noticing it stop being bothered by it internet you can surf the web on it but its not particularly good experience it doesn scroll like an ipad or computer and is bit cumbersome okay if you just want to do something fast but doubt you would want to shop on it gmail yes you can get into your gmail account and likely any other web based mail account but it isn that usable probably best if you only use it in pinch like to read or look for an email from someone navigating in the kindle is sub par at best overall opinion go for it 1 kindle 3g in UNK bought new kindle weeks ago its my first use it primarily for books downloading in UNK no problem first book just finished new ken UNK print quality excellent font size choice good text to speech poor dictionary great only negative aspect cant download newspapers in original only text files very poor also would appreciate if ebooks could be UNK along printed versions older UNK books are cheaper than their equivalent ebooks but very happy to be able to download book the day it is published for paperback price 1 UNK bought brand new kindle from amazon and downloaded books it froze it would go to the home page only if you clicked on menu item it would go right back to the home page called amazon they told me they would have another one UNK to me just return the defective one in the box received what great customer service yeah right when got the one they UNK to me and opened the box knew immediately it was refurbished unit amazon customer service said that the warranty so bought brand new kindle paid full price used it less than week actually about an hour and UNK up with refurbished unit could have bought that off an UNK site for lot less something about that whole transaction just UNK have UNK this review to stars because based on some responses to my previous review called amazon back very nice lady told me should never have been sent UNK unit for having mine such short period they are sending me new unit 1 kindle actually helps me read much better this always was problem so love this kindle very UNK person and reading was hard for me to be able to focus on reading my eyes for some reason couldn focus to long can even start to tell the public how this device has brought so much joy to me love reading and cannot put my kindle down every chance get pick it up and read and read for longer periods of time no matter where go my kindle helps me it helps me focus people that are add and add UNK needs to take moment and see review this is from person who is little over 50 years old ve had horrible history this problem wish could of had this device when was kid thank you amazon plan on giving my grandson one for christmas who is actually like his UNK 1 love it minus points does need strong wifi signal too slow to enjoy navigating on the web but still works not able to increase size of pdf by only 10 20 plus points great to read in the sun and many other places long battery so much better then reading on computer and enough place to enjoy lots of books thanks 1 love my kindle absolutely love my kindle it is easy to use easy to read and just plain easy to transport cannot believe how simple downloading is throw my kindle in my purse and take it everywhere like the size too of course the larger screen would be great but for the price this kindle is perfect am glad the prices have adjusted since the kindle UNK just love my kindle 1 kindle great idea needs little improvement love this product love that can carry everything from fiction games UNK and business books along with some favorite magazines in one slim UNK UNK product that UNK into my purse love the instant downloading and ability to organize in collections although haven been able to put magazines into collections yet UNK looking forward to the day that more periodicals are available and when every book published is in the kindle library huge reader and no don miss turning pages or holding book pages open or the stacks of books and periodicals all over my living room but there are some things that would seem like simple improvements to me and it slightly UNK me that they are not already part of the product here they are the page turning buttons are placed for ease in turning the pages but too often in the simple process of holding the kindle they get pressed when you really don want to they need to change somehow maybe little higher always worried about where my hands are when holding the kindle and the printing on the keyboard buttons is not very durable ve had my kindle short time and already some buttons UNK is getting UNK out that really bothers me those buttons are also very tiny but can live with that next what about built in light and something else that would go long way in UNK the consumer provide protective carrying sleeve as part of the product don make us buy one separately small thing but would go long way towards feeling UNK as customer when buying such pricey convenience 1 kindle 3g love the thing if you are considering kindle for reading and that is your UNK purpose for purchasing you are headed in the right direction the kindle is great also own an ipad and that too is wonderful reading format if somewhat bulky as well as UNK but if reading books is your only UNK to buy you need to consider the kindle reading outside the kindle is great no glare reading inside at night the kindle is fine with proper UNK lighting it does however lack somewhat with the optional lighted cover as the bottom of the page is not as well lit as is the top it is still very nice option that does function and protects your kindle the kindle lacks many of the bells and whistles of the ipad but if you want to read book it is great way to do it 1 love it my husband got me the latest kindle as birthday present ve had it for about 10 days now and am simply in love with it am an avid reader and always used to carry book with me in my purse at times the books were too heavy and too big for my purse and had to carry an extra bag just for the book now that have the kindle don have that problem anymore it very light and so easy to read in almost any conditions thanks to my father had read most of the UNK UNK books when was UNK it was such joy to download the whole UNK UNK collection on my kindle for only can wait to start reading them again thank you dear hubby and thank you amazon for such great gift 1 love it have loved my kindle since the day got it it easier to carry around than paperback and always keeps my place for me when finish one book just look for another and in seconds for just few dollars have it all ready to read so glad bought kindle it been worth all of the research did before buying it have no regrets at all 1 almost perfect my vision problems make the kindle ideal being able to control text size at will has allowed me to go back to reading after many years however the small print on the keyboard make it tough for me to order books or navigate 1 kindle overall love the new kindle it dropped one star short of five no internal back lighting page buttons on the side of the unit cause accidental turning of the page when not wanted again still enjoy and love the new kindle 1 best reader available tried the nook and the sony reader and they just don compare to the kindle this reader combined with amazon com service and selection can be beat 1 absolutely love my new kindle absolutely love my new kindle the big print is wonderful love it reading the bible to me have UNK tunnel in both hands so holding it is breeze as well as turning the pages also love looking up words in context wish would have bought it sooner 1 wow my husband gave this to me september 17th after we ran out of book space and refused to get UNK case what can say addicted this is the best electronic device ever or since the computer love how can change the font size no strain on my eyes also don need to hold it like book put it on my lap and my hands are free it auto bookmarks your last page you can add notes bookmark the bits you find interesting etc can download books directly through my kindle or through my computer and it so fast less than minute from start to finish and reading something new it perfect for long plane rides vacations etc as all your books are in one place on device that weighs as much as your average paperback except you have thousands of books also just ordered this for my husband because as we can have up to kindles on one account we can read the same books at the same time without paying twice no more of him or me UNK are you finished yet the reason it gets instead of starts is because there no easy way to view page you may have read days ago instead of page numbers there are locations UNK 26 which becomes serious pain because there no way ll remember location won even come close if they came make finding particular passage in book easier it would easily get stars 1 present for my wife the kindle is amazing bought this for my wife as way to allow her to read on her leisure time UNK while we are on vacation she has taken to carrying it with her all the time meant it to be convenient way for her to get back into reading for pleasure but now she uses it at work to read on break uses it for entertainment UNK scrabble etc and uses it to pass the time at UNK to UNK the kids while we are waiting for our order to be brought out just amazing how easy it is to access and keep content allowing seamless movement from one reading project to the other the next test is vacation we re UNK out on UNK cruise next month where she will be testing out the device up on deck in the very bright sunlight 1 kindle 3g the kindle 3g is everything had wanted and then some my eyes have been operated on multiple times each and as result have hard time reading book without my eyes just giving out after having UNK UNK of UNK the kindle doesn do that to me my only problem now is that don get anything else done because am always reading 1 great item this is the second one bought as gift my sister and best friend loves it am so excited they enjoy it thank you 1 brilliant ereader just wish it did epub first should mention that ve been reading ebooks since about UNK started on my old UNK palm based pda through the ipod touch and ipad and now to the kindle and honestly must say that most satisfied with the kindle the display the pure lightness of the device the assume lifetime free 3g data access for downloading books in the absence of wi fi the ability to put your own books on the device and have them fit in seamlessly with the other contents just wish it did epub as it is having to convert the couple hundred of books bought from competitor store over the last years into kindle friendly mobi format which quite happy to do honestly but having native epub support would make that process go lot more smoothly however this is really minor UNK as there are few very nice UNK epub to other formats UNK out there most of which are easily googled like calibre if could give the kindle stars for the lack of epub would otherwise its star device oh actual details battery life is nothing short of UNK even with the occasional use of the included light on my amazon created leather cover with light have wifi in my apartment but ve played with 3g in other locations and its fairly zippy page refreshes do have the negative blink associated with electronic ink displays but you stop noticing after few minutes of usage should also mention that did own an ipad before this but sold it for various reasons loved the device but couldn justify having it and kindle not to mention that can use the kindle in the outdoors in direct sunlight without problem something could never say about the ipad yes know this review is bit UNK but UNK go buy one you won regret it 1 good stuff have no idea what products that are on the market that are similar to the kindle however the kindle is easy to use makes purchasing and reading books fun and is relatively inexpensive great product 1 kindle is great the kindle is great this is perfect item for anyone that likes to read the books are also cheaper than apple great size too love it 1 love this kindle highly recommend this kindle operates wonderfully love reading anything and the best thing is you can sample book before you buy it recommend it to everyone 1 great new kindle model bought the new kindle after the screen on my kindle got broken it is lighter and overall smaller but still has the same size screen as the kindle the buttons have been slightly UNK and it seems to be very easy to use the price is considerably less than previous versions making it easier to own one have zero experience with any of the other readers on the market so can compare the kindle to anything else have had no problems with either of the kindles ve owned other than the damage to the first one which caused overall am very happy with my kindle would just recommend getting good quality UNK cover to help UNK it from being damaged 0 wifi kindle without the ability to order books from anywhere was forced to return the kindle and buy the next one up if your web site had explained what wi fi means versus 3g would have ordered the other version right away you wasted your time and mine 1 where are the UNK ve gone from the kindle to the new kindle 3g and have one major complaint no UNK it impossible to go to certain location though the prompt asks you for number use numbers in my notes eg UNK instead of having to write UNK century or UNK rather than ten UNK six the loss of the numbers makes navigating through material much more difficult 1 great product bought this for my husband birthday he loves it he is big gadget guy and am not after seeing the features want one too 1 very good at what it does jumped on the bandwagon when the 2nd generation was introduced and have since upgraded to this latest generation which they may as well just call kindle3 as far as concerned changes noted from previous k2 dimensions the outside dimensions and weight reduced although the numbers might seem UNK maybe half inch all around it UNK smaller and lighter the rubbery backing also provides UNK grip page turn buttons and keyboard layout the page turn buttons now offer both forward and backward on both sides instead of forward and backward only on the left and forward and home on the right this is bit more intuitive and probably more comfortable for both UNK and UNK however the k2 had buttons which clicked only when pressed from the inside edge this was helpful in UNK accidental page turns while holding the device UNK with one hand the page turn buttons on the k3 now click on the outside edge it not really big loss as far as concerned but prefer the previous orientation the home back menu and mouse position on the keyboard have been slightly UNK obviously to UNK reducing the overall dimensions of the device background the screen background is few shades of gray lighter and offers bit more contrast between it and the typeface this improves slightly the ease of reading in low light situations appreciate the UNK down gray color of the background since UNK black on white contrast causes my eyes to tire lot faster perhaps in future model these UNK would be customizable wifi on the k2 the whispernet 3g connection was perceived as an included bonus now with two k3 models available it perceived to be an up sell true it is UNK over the life of the device but opted for the wifi after UNK my usage habits since don find myself out on the town away from wifi source absolutely needing to purchase new book it may be more suitable for more avid readers travelers browser users or those who use the like their UNK content absolutely up to date for me wifi is quite sufficient review in general first off it not at all fair to compare kindle to ipad they both do very different things and for what kindle does it does quite well it book reader the browser isn so great which may explain why even after three generations it still experimental happen to think ipad not so great for reading since the brightness of the screen eventually gives me eye strain some will complain about amazon locking owners into contract where they must purchase content only from them well firstly there is plenty of free content out there which is readable on kindle and secondly apple did that long before remember ipod plus buying books on ipad is no different they re readable only on ipad that said here what think pros kindle or any reader for that matter will not suit everyone in my experience people either love it or just don get it love it like to read in bed and it much lighter than any hard cover and just about any paper back book it highly portable going away on trip or commuting to work it nice to have selection to choose from kindle provides UNK storage content can be moved off and saved to desktop when space is needed this UNK is also useful for moving off UNK content amazon only keeps UNK back issues on your digital account the note highlight features are attractive to me as well no more fumbling for UNK to make notes there is setting to synchronize and back up these notes but have yet to explore where this may happen rather thought it would be back to my account not only can one download books free of copyright restrictions from other sources such as UNK but amazon offers many on their own site they are typically classic titles and are sold for 00 cons in my own experience find reading novels particularly suited to the kindle something like textbook or manual might be bit cumbersome to manage in such situations like to flip back and forth quickly between the index and few pages this would be tricky for me at least on kindle maybe the dx with the larger screen would make that easier there is no way that aware of to share resell or buy used books one can read book then give it to someone else to read unless they hand over the device too some novels particularly the classics are noted for not only the literary content but also the illustrations finding and choosing an UNK version is sometimes tricky though this UNK is not strictly limited to kindle but online book buying in general some books aren laid out very well it sometimes cumbersome to navigate around to find particular chapter or get back to the table of contents that is probably more the fault of the publisher than amazon though overall kindle suits my needs perfectly it does what expect it to do UNK book 0 product does not work the wi fi is joke would not recognize my password even though it was correct then amazon hit me with UNK fee of 10 when returned even when upgraded to their 3g unit don waste your money or time 1 love my kindle love my new generation kindle highly recommend this product very easy to use loving all the free books two things wish it had quicker way to turn it off and would like to be able to change font size on home page also 1 after UNK UNK now the lettering is wearing off if you have the UNK cover contact customer service and get refund the lighted cover UNK cause UNK reported below if you don have the UNK cover from amazon UNK you will probably like your kindle and find it great reader for plain text the UNK cover has been removed from sales perhaps to UNK once the bug is fixed re how it UNK with how the kindle operates update we removed the UNK amazon kindle cover and the UNK as described below in my prior comments went away this has been reported in few places which amazon will not let us post but it worth google update we had to UNK our rating UNK we found that the lettering on the keys is only UNK on not UNK into the keys and wears off rather quickly if you use the keys for example we put password on several of our kindle UNK and after only weeks of use the password letters are nearly worn off so this is something that could definitely be done much better in the next version prior comments with that cover on the kindle it does everything it supposed to do quite wonderfully except let you read for more than few minutes even with the latest software update it still keeps randomly freezing or it UNK reboots for no apparent reason even sitting down for short read is impossible without these problems UNK it as if you are sitting reading in large library and some UNK librarian UNK your book from you and runs away with it so you have to get up every few minutes go find the book UNK it form the shelf and go back to your desk to read just in time for the UNK librarian to come back and rate zero stars if could it just not usable for the intended purposes it happens roughly every ten UNK sometimes more often then you wait for it to finish rebooting or you have to reset it forcing it to reboot even while rebooting it sometimes freezes or UNK begins rebooting again it would be nice little item if it was usable and regret that it is not the few days that it worked it was very nice luckily the return process works much better easier than the kindle reports of this kind of problem date back to the first kindle if the reports of this very same problem on kindle weren so UNK UNK the reviews or search the web for kindle freezes or kindle crashes then UNK it up to rare failure but it appears to be something more serious than that not saying everyone experiences this problem and it doesn bother some folks UNK it happens less to some folks while others simply UNK it more than others after all even some of the and star reviews note that UNK crashes freezes occur they just aren bothered by that and only personally know few folks kindles but haven yet yet met anyone that owns one that hasn UNK with crashes so not saying everyone will have this problem but an awful lot do especially considering that UNK been through UNK including the big screen version in terms of crashes and freeze ups it bit like using windows 95 with multiple programs loaded remember that only worse that about as nicely and as fairly as can put it if you search the web for kindle freezes you ll find plenty of sites with UNK on this issue such as we returned our 2nd kindle and tried 3rd kindle hoping for the best hoping that not all have this problem even though the first two we received did unfortunately the third kindle UNK the same UNK absolute truth we are continuing to question folks on the street that we see with kindles and ask if they had any freeze or reboot problems generally the answers are yes this is my 2nd or this is my 3rd kindle or sometimes yes but don mind too much one person suggested that returning to the home page before putting or letting you kindle go into stand by seems to reduce the number of freezes and reboots we tried this and this is in fact helping on our kindle freeze less often but it doesn eliminate the problem it not something one should have to do but it UNK than nothing until amazon gets the kindle UNK re the UNK freeze reboot issue we are getting ready to send back our 3rd kindle too bad that amazon hasn advised users about this that it still selling the UNK cover but if you avoid amazon cover the kindle is kinda nifty after all and works as advertised 1 good product with reasonable price good ebook reading device with reasonable price built in UNK to shop books via free 3g network is good idea but there are some limitations for users in south korea first many free ebooks available in us are not available or UNK price mostly to korean users second the 3g connection doesn allow internet access wikipedia is the only accessible site don understand can browse the amazon site itself that means cannot even manage my account in amazon third the korean font set included in the device is very ugly kindle is good device for me because spend much time in train and need device just like kindle but doubt kindle can be appealing to many general korean users with the 3g network policy of the current status 1 UNK the kindle is just wonderful it is light weight and it fits into my pocketbook easily it can go with me all the time it is easy to download books adjust the size of the letters and easy to operate 1 UNK love the kindle wish the keys were little bigger and lighted UNK key slows you down on UNK games touch screen would be awesome having to hold the slide switch to turn off the kindle is nuisance 1 great product bought the kindle for my wife who an avid reader mostly of novels she usually likes to keep things simple so wasn sure if she would really take to something like this but figured if she didn use it would well ve hardly been able to get hand on it she loves it my only problem now is paying for all the books she is reading 1 great companion was taking my UNK online for two years the kindle was my UNK present to myself my kindle is always with me from bed work and even traveling to UNK UNK the light in the cover was something my friends and family talked me into but it worth the few extra dollars love my kindle 1 totally awesome just got my latest generation wi fi kindle middle of september and truly made the best purchase of my life now my reading life which has not been good has taken on whole new meaning the convenience of having it with me at all times not only gives me more time to read but has also made stressful times pleasant it is so easy to use and books download in seconds did have trouble getting my wi fi on the kindle set up but the support line took care of my issues UNK 1 kindle 3g review love the new kindle very responsive great battery life ve charged it exactly once so far my kindle would have needed several charges nice screen contrast the improvements are obvious right out of the box it took some adjustments to navigate the new ui but it works well keep up the good work 1 my first kindle it just like reading UNK would say and able to browse web and listen to your favorite songs while you are reading on it very good 1 better than expected even though the functions of kindle is limited it exceeded my expectations you can send papers you want to read later to your kindle by email from your computer and while you are waiting bus you can read it with wi fi and whispernet you are connected to internet seamlessly anywhere ipad or iphone are also fascinating but they have too much functions in one device as reading device kindle is better because it simple reasonably priced light durable clear black and white display and low energy consumption since the battery last very long can leave it without turning it off for week or so don have to try to save battery life by turning it off frequently as have to do with many other gadgets nowadays it would be really great if the display uses color ink which believe will be developed in the future am looking forward to seeing ones like that in or years 1 awesome device this kindle is just awesome it exactly what you expect since the description of the product here in amazon is very accurate was amazed by it weight and size it feels so comfortable in your hands even more than regular book highly recommended 0 not for college student if you are college student you need to be able to quote kindle is useless for college student because they don insert page numbers only position numbers without page numbers you can quote book properly and therefore can use kindle the wi fi is nearly worthless because even when you do zoom it is difficult to navigate anything on the internet and without UNK the pages often lock up save your money and use it as down UNK on ipad 1 great way to read here are the good things about the new kindle it feels even lighter and more compact the screen really amazing the battery lasts forever and you can quickly be reading along and lose yourself in the experience exactly as you would paperback it also real value since you can save significant money on books well if you re in the habit of always buying new that is here are the issues left to solve it slow turning pages and searching for things have an ipad as well and this is the one thing that kindle for ipad just feels much better at the screen still isn as UNK as the printed page because of the light gray background and you re not going to enjoy larger non fiction books or books with many illustrations on it use this screen version like use paperback in fact most of what read on here are fiction or non fiction books that have made it to paperback it all about text not illustrations another thing like about it is that have kind of middle class of books that read books that don want in hardcover and probably won read again the cool thing here is that when done can just remove them form the device and they re always available in my archived items folder it makes it easier to find things when there not ton of books actually on the device though since you can put them into folders this is probably just my clean UNK talking you could make an already read folder and move things there have about 200 UNK in my personal library and that feels like lot of books to me so really doubt ll ever run up against the 000 volume limit if did archive some stuff to make room space effectively is just not an issue here all in all love this thing and it really solves specific issue for me often am reading ten books at any one time and this keeps my side table clear when ve had my morning coffee and read for bit ll head off to work and leave it home when find that have little bits of time in line somewhere waiting for food etc ll pull out my smartphone and pick off another chapter with whispersync always right where left off on the other devices it just works and you stop thinking about it amazing 1 overall pretty pleased as the title indicates overall am pretty pleased with the product like the variety of items that can be read on the kindle also like the ease of portability there are plenty of things that like but allow me to share some things that wish were better wish were able to listen to all pdfs on the device quickly learned that some of the documents can be read to me most of them not wish the zooming functionality was little better UNK can zoom into one section and most times an edge of the page is still cut off so in times like these have to zoom out then move to the next section suppose this is drawback of getting the smaller kindle wish there was way to organize files into folders on the kindle can put things into folders in the software version but once the information is UNK over have no UNK which folder documents were in this would be extremely helpful to me for couple of reason am UNK student and result of this have to do lot of reading for lot of classes mostly pdfs as result of this it would be helpful to be able to organize things into folders by class and by what ve read and what still needs to be read lastly wish there was way to highlight pdfs on the kindle have feeling that there way but this may be another issue that depends of the type of pdf just like with the read to me functionality mentioned above for some reason can always highlight on the kindle in spite of my feedback overall am very pleased with the purchase the pros far UNK the cons just wanted to give some UNK feedback hoping that the kindle quality team or those responsible with continuous improvement would have some substantial feedback enjoy 1 best device ever made this is without doubt the best device ve ever owned can stick it in my pocket and whenever have couple minutes to spare pull it out and read couple pages now can finally enjoy my love of reading anywhere go 1 latest generation kindle 3g resisted buying an electronic reading device for years but heavy UNK and long lines at airport security made kindle user out of me have enjoyed this device on trips and at home the only thing that needs to happen is make water proof kindle for those http UNK images amazon com images UNK UNK UNK read in the UNK 1 kindle well at first was little UNK by the instructions they can be confusing there is more information and repeated information than needed some may think thats great do not had big problems connecting the wi fi and have found out that am not the only one the one positive from that is amazons help section is brilliant and had response within the day and it was very helpful other than that my kindle never leaves my side it is much easier than an actual book have used the wifi feature UNK have also used the free conversion facility pdf not so good to read unless you have really thick UNK UNK glasses or you do not mind moving your text around use the convert facility its free now have over 10 000 ebooks and its growing the best purchase have ever made fyi if your in australia and you cannot connect wifi go to public place UNK etc it will connect there and then you will have no problem connecting at home also if you like the UNK skins dont bother amazon wont post them to oz we are limited to the covers only yes it sucks cannot UNK reason as to why 0 broke right away used this for week did not take it anywhere and the screen got all these lines in it horrible 1 keys are fading have UNK kindle for long time and this offer was too good to pass up read books week and generally have both fiction and UNK books going at the same time and it is very easy to do no major problems with the learning curve as it is pretty self UNK however the keys are fading and will have to work harder playing scrabble don know what to say about the fading 1 revolutionary device with great customer service received the latest generation kindle wi fi only graphite with the lighted cover couple of days ago and have already UNK about hours reading it upon downloading some samples from the store and starting to read noticed that the center part of the screen was much UNK than the edges UNK based on past experiences with other companies didn want to deal with customer service about defective unit but much to my surprise the customer service UNK the device has year warranty for defects they only needed my name and email to find my kindle and after UNK my credit card information on file in case didn send the defective unit back he informed me that he overnight the replacement with pre paid return package all in all less than minutes on the phone excellent customer service although hopefully defects are UNK the kindle store ui is very easy to use and probably little too easy to buy books it doesn ask to confirm it just goes ahead and charges you and starts downloading it UNK me by surprise at first but you can cancel book purchase just as easily also ve bought UNK of books from UNK com and every one of those you buy is available from your login UNK as drm free mobi format that just as easily supported by the device just plug it in to your computer and drop the files onto it as if it were an external hard drive the screen is very easy to read for long periods of time and highly recommend the lighted cover the light uses the kindle battery so you don have to deal with watch or UNK batteries like other lights 1 kindle review exactly as described easy to use easy to view just joy 1 switched to kindle best move ever made when was thinking about buying an ereader let some friends talk me into nook because of the book lending feature after UNK the nook which is an ok device was disappointed to see that only certain books can be loaned between nook users not all naturally none of the ones we want to share are on the list my biggest complaint was as UNK originally that just doesn have the book selection that amazon does and was tired of seeing books wanted to read available for kindle users but not for nook users even called the nook UNK about this and got UNK answer well after months of this finally UNK in and bought myself kindle oh man not only do have amazon larger and usually less expensive selection of ebooks but to my delight found that the kindle is about half as thick as the nook and about half as heavy the action on the page turning UNK is far easier and it is very user friendly device the font size selection is also greater on the kindle it may be little UNK on my part but hate fingerprints all over things and with the nook that pretty little scrolling feature has that drawback your fingerprints are all over it after using it and was constantly UNK it down with soft UNK from UNK to get rid of them it was pain at least for me that is not problem with kindle which uses neat little keyboard instead don let the pretty book covers fool you guys kindle is better lighter easier to use and you ll have far larger and less expensive selection with it nook is ok but kindle is the best in my opinion 1 best UNK gift ever bought this for my UNK as an UNK gift and he was beyond excited he had been talking about getting one for months ever since the generation came out but was still taken by surprise he has loved all the great features and has been very impressed with the clarity of the screen and ease of use think am way up on the UNK points scale 0 very disappointed am very disappointed in the design of this product the keys are too small and having to return to menus to change size of type and direction of screen is difficult also in first days was disappointed to see that several books that interested me were much cheaper to buy in paperback than on kindle and also in scrolling through some books that was interested in mistakenly purchased book that didn want also had hoped to use kindle to read pdf files that use to study chinese but the display is actually better on my iphone think this is very poorly designed product 1 easy to use very easy to use to set up to read to buy new books can get the books want without searching the only UNK in my small town long term it great not to clutter up the house with stacks of old books 1 so love the kindle the kindle was my best purchase ever so in love with it it very UNK to carry around carry it with me to work and read it on my breaks and take it to school and read it before class starts it is very easy to read in fact feel as if read faster every week want to buy new book because it so easy to purchase books amazon already has your credit card information on file therefore you just select the book of your choice and just like that it on your kindle in seconds like the option of text to speak have the 3g and wi fi and internet connection is excellent get UNK on the kindle every time open it everyone should own kindle it is definitely my best investment ever use to purchase books but storing them is so much of hassle because you run out of places to store them so you start giving them away why give books away it as if you re UNK your money away when you can just invest little more in the kindle and never have to worry about storing the books or carry that heavy book around or the pages of the book getting all UNK purchase the kindle today and you will not regret it have nothing but wonderful things to say about the kindle but if continue will fill up this page just buy it and you will use it forever 0 forget wi fi was so excited waiting for my kindle problem is it will not connect to any wi fi would not connect to my home wi fi so drove up and down the street where all the stores are which is everywhere in UNK UNK UNK found very strong free wi fi signal at home UNK wouldn connect would not connect to any wi fi connection that found after talking to UNK UNK customer service was told it is only compatible with the wi fi at starbucks isn that wonderful traveling the country and if have to find starbucks to download have useless kindle try to find an starbucks in UNK UNK UNK returning it and don know if will purchase the 3g was also excited to learn that could download the books from my UNK wi fi until learned there is 50 charge for books she has already paid for and owns am not happy 1 main birthday gift this was given as an early birthday gift to someone going out of the UNK to military post he has UNK me over and over and UNK enjoys it 1 good but touch screen would be better the kindle is just what expected it works fine it little tedious and slow to work around through and it would be much better if it was touch screen but it lives up to what is advertised 1 amazon kindle the amazon kindle is amazing the screen size that chose is 75 so far am satisfied with this size it is easy to hold and carry also convenient to store in home or car battery life is good and easy to charge the ability to change type sizes makes it easy to adjust for different lighting conditions and formats to top off all of it flexibility and features it will hold UNK amount reading material you can probably tell that am very pleased with the product 1 love it admit was one of those who likes book in my hand and didn think like something like kindle after seeing one in person and getting to play with it for just few minutes was hooked from the get go ordered it on sunday evening and received it on that next friday am very satisfied with it it is very easy to use from the first time you turn it on the only trouble we had was that our router wasn compatible and did have to update with new one first had to go to mcdonald to use their wifi to be sure it was working and not just defective all was good and off to get the router no problems whatsoever after that easy to download books easy to read and easy to navigate admit that have yet to pay for book and only have downloaded only the free ones there are thousands to choose from lots of classics recommend the kindle wholeheartedly it easy to travel with and read it on the beach on vacation highly recommend getting on the kindle board for tips recommendations and questions 1 my kindle review like the idea of kindle but have had difficult time getting started with it we live in an area that is low UNK to at and the kindle will not accept our password or usage to the wi fi so have to order on line then drive to an area that has access to at also would like to have manual to UNK me how to better access all the benefits of the kindle 1 checked out both the kindle and nook and went with the kindle before getting the kindle checked out both the kindle and nook went to the store target for the kindle and barnes and noble for the nook so could hold each in my hand weight was big concern of mine since have arthritis in both hands and wanted something very light ended up getting the kindle as it was easier to hold for long period of time and easy to use use the kindle lot and love it more and more have been reading using the kindle for about weeks it small enough to be very portable when you have to go places such as the doctor office and there is no eye strain reading with the kindle even after reading for couple hours kindle also has several word games that are free to download and they are fun to play found several books in amazon com limited time free offers to read and have also downloaded several classics to read bought the 3g wireless kindle so that even if am out somewhere without wifi UNK can download book to read the download speed is fantastic just few moments and you have book ready to read you can even buy book from the computer on amazon com and purchase it with one click and then when you get back to your kindle turn the wireless on and it will immediately download bought the lighted cover for the kindle but found with my arthritis it was too heavy to hold for more than 15 minutes if you don have the arthritis concerns then the lighted cover is good buy it was nice looking and easy to use the lighted feature if you want to read in bed while someone is sleeping also purchased the year extended UNK just in case figure it was good to have since this technology is only few years old so far haven had any cons with purchasing the kindle and since the kindle books are several dollars cheaper than their hardback form or even dollar or more cheaper than their paperback form eventually the kindle with pay for itself 1 great just loving it that great the don need to bring my leisure books out anymore that good companion no matter why you are on the way travelling or even in the church that you can quickly refer to different bible versions 1 beautiful reading device bought this kindle like gift so this review is based on the UNK of my friend he likes it very much the kindle doesn read UNK that is why give it stars but with good UNK to pdf converter the problem could be solved 1 kindle bought sony touch reader after about weeks decided to return it and get kindle what difference no comparison love it so glad returned the sony the contrast is great love it 1 easy reader this reader is very easy on the eyes can read for much longer not feel tired great reader wish had it 20 years ago water man 1 excelente my review is in spanish es un excelente UNK ne UNK la pantalla es UNK iacute UNK la UNK de libros muy aacute cil la uacute UNK UNK oacute es la UNK de formato en la UNK oacute de UNK pero UNK terrible si UNK UNK por el UNK no UNK mas UNK 1 my personal escape got my kindle back in early 2010 and have been having UNK every since have stressful job and little too much UNK in my life at times but my kindle gives me the escape need right when need it love my kindle 1 was skeptical but really love this thing didn want one my wife did she won and boy am glad really can believe how lightweight and thin it is and the charge lasts for long time weeks even if you ve never held one of these things you ve got to see it in person to appreciate it it really looks like you re reading off of paper it only UNK compared to paper is that the white parts are just slightly gray so there little less contrast than paper but not much and it still easy on the eyes one of the nice features is that you can use the internet on it the browser is little clunky feeling because you don have mouse or touchscreen you use the directional buttons instead so wouldn use it for everyday surfing but it can be real handy if you want to look something up on wikipedia or search for restaurant or something in pinch if you don have any other internet enabled device with you one of the UNK with this is that anytime you flip pages or go to different screen the whole screen flashes once at first thought something was wrong with it so looked it up and found that it has something to do with the digital ink and that there currently no way around it it very UNK distracting and as others have said you get used to it real quick and don notice it absolutely love that you can read all your purchased books on your pc or other devices too without having to pay for the book again plus it keeps everything synced so if read chapter on the pc then steal the kindle when my wife leaves the room can pick up right where left off this will make traveling so much nicer too because my carry on is usually UNK with books but now ll be able to use that space for food buying books on this is easy almost too easy if you re trying to limit your spending sure ll be buying another one of these in the near future since my wife and currently have to share UNK of this one 1 great product have been having trouble reading fine print and love to read the new kindle is just what needed ve only had it short time and still learning all the things it UNK down loaded the complete instructions since what came with it wasn very helpful 1 glad upgraded from kindle to kindle what an amazing device getting my kindle last year was real game changer for me keep your ipad that can be read outside and charges monthly fee prefer device that does one thing really really well which is to read whispernet at no charge free books although buy lot of books can take my pdfs with me wherever go works best in landscape mode and no UNK intended my kindle has UNK my love of reading bet you never heard that one just waiting for the day that amazon allows one to give book away not to everyone but one off to friend would be very nice feature people do it with paper books all the time 0 interesting effective in bright ambient lighting only UNK interesting product however its print is not exactly as black as advertised more like dark gray scale UNK and unless you re reading in quite bright ambient lighting conditions it is difficult to read the kindle text there UNK to be UNK for kindle to integrate self contained lighting system into this and all their near UNK designed products add clip on light to kindle reader that more than little UNK cumbersome as the kindle purpose for me anyway was to simply read UNK books at my convenience wherever and in whatever ambient lighting situation may be and wherever may be may not be convenient to include my UNK along clip on external lighting source no built in lighting for kindle this is major UNK end of story and while encouraged that so many people love this product don want to pay for an electronic reading device which requires me to drag along extra equipment an external self powered light source so can simply read the kindle the tv ad which UNK the apple ipad having difficulty reading in bright outside direct sunlight near the pool is great but misleading ad it great ad in that it points out the only readability strong point of the kindle very bright or extreme bright ambient lighting conditions whereas the apple ipad works perfectly well in all but extremely bright outside lighting conditions sure the ipad costs more is different machine but kindle advertising team is the one to first draw the comparison not me compare the jack UNK keyboard interface of kindle to that of apple and the lack of comparable functionality and kindle UNK to well gray scale haha don need to read while getting UNK kindle returned cheers edit some UNK of kindle readers have stated they have no problem reading kindle using the same UNK lighting necessary to read paper book understand their comment but they miss my point as the kindle reader ships without lighting source of any kind so the UNK kindle is UNK when not sitting near strong lighting source to gain sufficient UNK UNK light from device to eye the bottom line for me was that kindle is not readable in UNK lighting conditions because there is no UNK lighting system designed in and for that same reason found it unacceptable and frankly even in bright ambient lighting find the kindle text to be more gray than advertised black end of story also it interesting and UNK to read some obvious amazon kindle UNK comments made in an attempt to UNK any negative amazon kindle UNK understand their goal but this certainly does not reflect UNK on amazon 20 20 vision 1 new kindle owner nice size and weight fast page turner easy to read in any light there have been few books UNK am unable to get on kindle store 1 review from college student hi there before get into this review let me just tell me bit about myself so you can see if you UNK am college student UNK in english so do have bit of reading to do also own laptop with 10 hours of battery life smartphone and an ipad keep in mind this review is only my experience with how it is useful in my life general the kindle is very intuitive device it is definitely the best reading device to date however despite that fact the kindle is also the reason bought an ipad simply put the kindle did not match my needs kindle vs ipad the main reasons to buy kindle over an ipad are that it has non reflective screen so you can read outdoors also it hurts the eyes less than the ipad lcd display however both of these reasons mean nothing to me do not find reading outdoors in the sun very pleasant if am going to the beach will be enjoying the water and sand also the idea of ink also UNK reading at night or in dark room which do quite often usually read at night when in bed for my generation our eyes are so used to computers and UNK that it can watch the screens for long time usually can read on my ipad for hours or more without feeling my eyes UNK hardware the kindle is very sexy it is extremely slim and has matte back super light user experience it is pretty easy to navigate around the speed is not super fast but not slow enough to really complain words and letters are very easy to read UNK are very beautiful for UNK display one thing dislike is the keyboard the keys are very small even smaller than my UNK slide smartphone only wish they can make the keys bit bigger web browser it is under experimental so shouldn really gripe about it however know it big deal to many of us so ll just tell you it is super slow with super fast UNK UNK cable internet connection over wifi it loads like it using the good old UNK phone connection it is UNK through 3g most popular pages load well like facebook yahoo etc but the navigation is extremely UNK as it is not touchscreen and no real mouse flexibility you navigate by using the pad and the mouse pointer tries to find the next possible place you can click for UNK towards the specific direction you chose for example if you click down on the pad then the pointer will go to the next available thing you can click such as an UNK space to type link etc typically it works good but it is so slow as the pointer will not move immediately after you press it also some pages won load correctly especially if you decide to scroll down one big thing going for it is that it has free 3g hopefully they will keep that feature book reading overall reading ebooks have been very similar to reading books nothing major to complain about why you might regret buying this the price yes yes yes know it so much cheaper than the first kindle but come on people think about it unless you travel alot and has tons of books that you just have to bring with you everywhere and you read everywhere then you will not find the kindle very useful if you re buying the kindle for cheaper ebooks then you can just install the kindle for your pc and read it there for 189 bucks would like this device to do more than just reading ebooks especially with its size future improvements would like to see touch screen to eliminate the UNK or UNK the keyboard as there are lot of UNK spaces in between the letters full web browser would be nice to look up information also it can UNK its own pull out lamp so we don have to spend another 60 bucks on case amazon should really make it come with sleeve because the device is so slim and the screen is soft am always worried of it UNK in my backpack conclusion overall great little device but for me the things it has over the ipad is useless to me can read in the dark on my bed with the ipad and so many more things the only reason you should buy the kindle is if you always read outdoors true book UNK travel lot and must bring all your books or if you simply read everywhere you go the kindle is almost absolutely useless in other aspects that my main gripe it is such large piece of technology in modern standards yet it can do so little think of all the things smartphones can do yet they are so much smaller than the kindle the keyboard is very slow to type on this is at least my gripes with it college student UNK 1 kindle 3g reader am frequent traveler and this is an awesome product to have on trains planes and just reading at home my only complaint is cannot share the books purchase with friends and family 1 killing trees is for UNK so it has been about month since have received my kindle and love it have already read about books on it was coming off big no read UNK for couple of months the kindle just makes reading fun again whether you are reading in the car in bed on your deck it is perfect the experimental web browser gets the job done and the price just can beat it get it now don think about it just do it you won regret it 1 love it was never fan of reading electronically for books there is always something about holding book in my hands that computer screen does not provide also like to read outside be it on my deck or at the beach got the kindle on UNK just to try out have since the end of august read books on it it is easy to read inside or out it is not too bulky the battery lasts really long time all can say is well done love it 1 great for reading novels my wife is an avid reader so got her the kindle in the hopes that she would buy less physical books as soon as she unpacked her kindle she immediately fell in love with the screen and how clear the text is she prefers reading kindle books over physical books now as it is lighter than physical book and she is able to adjust the font size and line spacing of the text now before she buys any physical books novels she looks for it in the kindle store first had no idea she would love and enjoy the kindle as much as she does the downside if you like to read technical books like UNK books or books with lots of pictures diagrams it can be cumbersome on the real kindle the absence of touch screen really UNK its user UNK would recommend getting an ipad and downloading the free kindle app to view your kindle purchased technical books overall would highly recommend the kindle for those who like reading novel type books it really is designed for that and it is superior to the ipad in that regard the long battery life coupled with virtually no eye strain makes this device perfect for long reading great job amazon 1 love this reader love the new kindle it is smaller and lighter without reducing the screen size the type is easy to read and the side controls make it easy to change pages one suggestion put actual page numbers on the screen if want to go back to reread passage cannot use the go to on the menu screen because don know what page am looking for 1 kindle am delighted with my kindle it is much easier to use than ever thought it makes reading while on trips very enjoyable wish had bought it much earlier 1 awesome reading device received this last thursday pretty fast delivery half the UNK away considering this order it saturday there are many UNK working at my office right now and practically everyone or has kindle ve heard so much about it at work and made me wonder about this UNK went online to search about it at amazon remembered knew about it few years back but didn make purchase because of its high price point plus don like it to be white also ve been an avid reader using my iphone 3gs to read and love listening to audible audio books but it kind of straining to my eyes while reading on my iphone and high UNK listening to audio books so after lot of reading researching decided to get kindle debated whether to get the 3g wifi or just the wifi version only as it us 60 price difference but the flexibility of getting online wherever could having the 3g even though it slow it particularly useful when am travelling and us 60 is all you need to pay when you need to get online and really no contract no nothing so getting the 3g wifi one is what would prefer or else might regret when it arrives was so excited about it and started loading books onto them the process was super easy UNK you don have to be tech expert to figure it out tend to touch and swipe the screen though and forgot wasn using the iphone talking about reading experience it was gorgeous and mean gorgeous the words are crystal clear thanks to the ink technology have no kindle or to compare to but kindle is really solid it lets you change font size make notes look up the words good for non native speaker the reading experience is just UNK it really lightweight and easy to UNK so the one would be good choice for everyone looking for readers plus get the lighted cover by amazon admit it bit pricey as the price point is us 59 99 for one but ve never love it less and didn regret getting it for single second don have the mighty bright experience to compare with but it really handy and it gives you the convenience of never have to worry whether there enough light source when you need to read with your kindle it just sits in my bag like UNK would have liked my lighted cover to be in dark UNK UNK color but since amazon doesn have that as an option just go for plain black one worries free for dirt as well would have liked to see these features available for kindle or whatever it named contrast control reset button somewhere got text to speech running and kindle seemed frozen still could hear the audio but have no control over the screen and it froze so much it took me whole 10 15 minutes to be able to get back to the main screen faster UNK so could access webpage faster even though know it experimental UNK epub files as well thank you amazon 1 the kindle is amazing bought the kindle for my husband for his birthday he is truck driver and its so much easier to bring the kindle than bringing along bunch of books that take up so much space recommend this product for its size and convience 1 very solid product am really satisfied with my kindle it really feels like book after very short time it just disappears and does not get in between you and the written message contrast battery duration and so on all just very fine amazon has made some great UNK on the direction of more user freedom native pdf support etc hope the company will keep in the right direction really miss german english dictionary with quick lookup on the kindle there is none available in the market an existing UNK dictionary sold at mobipocket does not work properly due to drm restrictions 1 excellent ereader have nook and bought this kindle for my daughter the nook is wonderful and love it however hands down prefer the kindle the kindle is smaller lighter and much faster remember the UNK and the UNK forget who finally won and focus on which was faster the keyboard on the kindle is much easier to use also when my nook breaks or break it ll replace it with the kindle 1 better than expected after much research and reading many reviews purchased the kindle wifi version opted for this model because where live it is pointless to purchase the 3g service when we get spotty coverage was quite pleased that do get wifi service from home and at work and it connects quickly wasn sure that would like giving up the feel and smell of new book but seriously it is awesome can read much faster due to the text sizing which absolutely love and it is much more comfortable to handle it is very quiet and the buttons are very easy to use have played few games and they are UNK but my main reason for purchase was because love to read and don have much storage or display space for the books there is quite bit of space and really like the fact that you can archive your books at amazon and UNK them anytime you want have downloaded my favorite mp3 and the speakers work beautifully it fits in my purse with no UNK and don have to fight my cat to read he gets jealous and tries to UNK the corners of the pages when read did purchase skin by UNK awesome graphics screen saver and flip case which would recommend at least the screen saver and case to protect the unit have book light that clips on the edge and works nicely with this unit don read at night without an UNK light very often so that isn real necessity for me all in all the highlights would be the text size ease of use light weight and size there aren any low points that have at this time do wish would have bought this sooner great job amazon 1 lighter brighter better in every way as an owner of the previous generation kindle can say this device is by far better in every way the reduced weight higher contrast screen and quieter better feeling buttons all make it worthy upgrade it travels so easily lasts so long and provides so much convenience for buying reading materials wherever am in the world that can imagine what next in the kindle UNK this is quite simply the best way to UNK and read book wherever you are in the world notes on the screen thought my last kindle was clear and easy to read and it was but the screen on the new kindle really is that much better anything that makes reading easier on the eyes makes reading that much more enjoyable if you buy another kindle you can move all of your previously purchased books onto the device awesome 1 just right ve had the k3 3g wifi for several weeks now it perfectly fine it does precisely what it supposed to do allow you to read book UNK there really no good way to thumb through book so what people UNK about the UNK blink between pages or the difficulty reading in UNK light well guess what that ink and that how it works next time UNK do little UNK UNK it all there on this site another typical gripe concerns the price of books in general most books are well below the hard copy in cost even when they re at UNK or even bit more in cost it seems to me that the convenience and luxury of the book experience UNK such concerns further as senior UNK now all of my books can be large print editions there are UNK and reading UNK the UNK will well gripe the rest of us will read with pleasure 1 great reader purchased this item because wanted reader that can download pdf files from my computer so didn have to sit at computer to read my school materials and it worked great then only thing is the screen is bit small but since the pages are so clear don have problem reading would have also appreciated backlight of some sort but for the price the kindle just does its job think it great choice because it is inexpensive and less distracting than an ipod or ipad get it if you are serious about reading 0 freeze and reboot real UNK the kindle worked fine for first weeks very impressive and fun to work amazed how much was reading and enjoying reading on this beautiful piece of hardware software sometimes had to reboot the kindle as normal wake up operation did not work but it happened about times week so did not bother as reading was real pleasure on my new kindle nothing could have made me think that anything can be ever ever wrong with my kindle at that time ask me for the review will give stars though amazon allows only five but in its 3rd week the freezes and reboots have increased to the extent that am in fix whether should go ahead and return and buy an ipad or have it UNK for another kindle hoping the kindle received is one off thing an UNK am disappointed that is the reason for two stars only it is really fun device as long as it works am trying to contact the returns department to return the current device hoping to hear that the problems encountered is an exception and the replacement unit will be trouble free fun to read device will update keeping my fingers UNK hoping can come back and give much better rating 1 does exactly what want frequently used to find myself lugging 10 15 books around with me when went on vacation no longer currently store about 100 novels on my kindle and the option to grab another from the online store whenever want has been amazing the latest generation has solved some of the problems that bothered me about the UNK kindle the improvement in the contrast and readability means that don miss reading paper book the UNK size and heft mean that it is effortless to read one handed in bed or while eating also love how the reduced screen glare allows for easy reading in direct sunlight if you enjoy reading for pleasure this device will suit your needs 1 family at peace have an pad as my book reader my wife and shared it for few months the competition was too intense we just purchased kindle which my wife uses she says that she got the better deal 1 perfect couldn recommend the kindle more it the perfect weight and size and has really really long battery life it UNK my music needs and all the games enjoy playing also the free books available on amazon practically pay for itself along with saving so much money on books carry my kindle everywhere the 3g internet is completely worth it never lose reception anywhere this is by far the best investment could have made am in college and some of my textbooks english reading books are found in the kindle format once again could not be happier 1 kindle 3g easier to read compared to book this is my first experience with this type of device easy to read but little confusing for UNK even though the instructions are in the kindle it would be easier to explain functions in the instruction manual which is pretty brief amazon has made it simple to purchase books and the pricing is certainly attractive UNK 1 great product book choices limited the unit works as described and is very simple to use excellent product and would recommend this without hesitation battery life is the best by far of any electronic item have purchased book choice is not what expected it appears that books you could get via kindle in the spring of 2010 are no longer available this not what expected and it is most disappointing book choice should be UNK not UNK 1 kindle rocks kindle is amazing while wanted one from when they came out patiently waited for kindle and researched other ereaders ve UNK to many friends who don want to give up the feeling of book in their hand actually don feel ve given that up it still feels like reading book based on how the pages appear and the size love being able to read one handed and with click flip page the kindle is wonderful feel like being green no more books taking up shelves also love searching for books to buy at bargain price and start reading immediately travel for business and this gadget truly UNK my load it fun to have several books going at once business and pleasure all bookmarked to where left off 1 kindle nice for fiction kindle is great tool for reading fiction books for that it works perfectly it not that great with scientific literature one can change the size of images etc but overall very happy with my purchase 1 its great have the new kindle the UNK one don know all the technical details but it is great love books love how easy it is to download them its so light you can read in bed no problem the setup was so easy it was silly all in all best 130 ve ever spent hands down mean what can you get thats any good for that money now days 1 kindle wow love it and it is perfect for reading anywhere in the gym etc keep mine in my purse and don know how made it all these years without such wonderful device size is great easy to carry and no load of books wish purchased it years ago UNK 1 3g kindle with wifi bought this for my husband and at first he didn know if he liked it but have caught him reading from it quite bit lately and he even took it with him on recent trip so good also purchased the cover with the built in light which is nice now he doesn have to read from his blackberry at night 1 great product light and easy to read it great product and everything is nice and easy to read never tired to reading my books on kindle but in the book yes everything is perfect but except is black and white its not UNK if they start making UNK screen its going to be great than now product 1 delivers have owned my kindle for one week now and wanted to wait to write my review till was sure that was happy with the product can honestly say that am it delivers on all points by which mean that it everything it promises to be if you are looking for an ereader and not mini computer as some tablets promise to be the kindle is for you am so happy bought this and not tablet as was mainly going to use it for reading anyway the wifi perfect and have had no problems the only slight draw back was that no power charger for european customers is included 1 love my kindle light easy to handle and read my books downloads are fast great purchase would reccommend adding the lighted cover for it 1 it is awsome got this device as present for my husband who is reading lover and couldn make better decision he UNK loves it specially the book page like look that the kindle has am happy because he is happy great device 1 huge improvement on 2nd gen kindle ve held off buying kindle because ve seen and tested the older ones and didn like the first one because of its UNK and the UNK because it was still not light enough for continuous use with this new model it seems amazon listened to customers and made better model that should sell to the younger set as well UNK high school students what love about it it sleek slim and light weighs as much as my android phone the graphite color that ordered it has no 3g which made it cheaper and more affordable to me and that why finally took the plunge and bought it the design the screensavers ease of use highly intuitive easy on the eyes reads fine in lamp light just like book 10 plays mp3 haven used it though as prefer to read UNK in bed 11 text to speech capability great during UNK 12 very easy to hold and read in one hand without getting tired what could be added and improved put in replaceable or UNK battery so don have to send the kindle back when the battery dies after so many hundred hours of charging the keyboard is little off center between my hands so keep hitting the wrong keys on the left instead of but think this is probably because so used to UNK and UNK where there are no huge way UNK menu and back keys to deal with inability to make font type on pdf bigger and still fit on the screen without having to move left to right and up and down on the way UNK it would be cool if fonts could be made bigger on pdf the same way you can with ebooks so all you have to do to go on to the next section is click to do page turn limited to amazon digital book formats and amazon UNK like mobipocket can use it to borrow check out ebooks at my library love this kindle overall despite the minor gripes above 1 great travel companion purchased new generation kindle to take with me to europe and am glad did not only did keep my UNK on me at all times but my kindle as well on the planes trains UNK UNK hotels you name it enjoyed its company the language UNK was also handy we gifted our two daughters kindles last christmas and they love them so much that thought it was time for me to UNK the books and go mobile thanks for terrific product 1 excelente excelente reader UNK oacute precio UNK ntilde muy buena UNK audio im aacute UNK UNK muchos UNK para UNK UNK aacute pido pantalla muy UNK UNK UNK comprarlo con una UNK se UNK oacute una UNK en UNK la UNK de mi UNK en UNK UNK el UNK del precio UNK el UNK de todos los UNK aacute UNK UNK la UNK lo UNK 100 1 far ahead of my UNK kindle is an amazing product UNK not imagine when ordered it that it could be so fantastic and useful am thank UNK to kindle team for their stunning effort 1 it will knock your UNK off have been using kindle for pc with UNK linux for long time and finally got real kindle from amazon had been on the fence for long time because could read the ebooks from amazon on my computer why did wait so long amazon makes big deal out of reading in bright sunlight true but what they never advertise is that the clarity is so good that you can read at UNK too long after the light has UNK to the point beyond being able to read paperback am able to comfortably read my kindle as for transferring my non drm ebooks mobi from my UNK linux based computer back and forth easy as pie amazon you hit home run 1 kindle 3g wifi latest generation just deleted this item from my wish list because have it the kindle was an early christmas gift from my son love it love it love it if had one wish it would be for some color like UNK UNK or color for the book covers but other than that it is amazing as book lover have often said that if my home were in UNK my books would get saved first even before family pictures maybe even before my dogs UNK love the smell feel and texture of books was certain miss that with an ebook reader guess what don miss it once start reading the words and story take over do miss the author info found on book UNK can that be added someday 1 love my kindle recently purchased the 139 wi fi kindle and loving it the screen almost looks fake because it so clear they have also improved the user experience from the previous generation the product design is much more sleek and thinner than thought it would be was pleasantly surprised also bought the green leather case it super cute and light weight thought about getting an ipad but already have an iphone and when reading book don want to be distracted by apps also the glare on the ipad screen is horrible you don get any glare with the kindle oh and you can beat the price 1 just awesome mean it really is awesome ergonomically flawless it just UNK you to read books and do that almost everywhere in the UNK in bed in the park heck do it even when walk my dog recommend it without hesitation 1 battery life and the previous old UNK review leave the previous review below it UNK wi fi for the UNK challenged have nothing to add to the excellent reviews by others of screen quality except to point out the ease of the font size change option there have been comments that the k3 becomes hard to read in dim light and other comments about having to page turn too often the single button aa call to the font size change option is god send set my font size to about the equivalent of normal paperback but if the ambient light changes while reading can change the font size without going through menu options UNK words per page in favor of readability in dim light the fact that the change is instantaneous and the page being read UNK it UNK in background makes it easy to adjust the display to the lighting conditions without significant break in one UNK of thought while reading as to battery life had bit of problem with that as became addicted to the every word game that is included on the k3 couple of hours of play and one sees the battery charge indicator dropping wrote the UNK on this wondering if had problem with my k3 think they might have UNK my question as they emailed back that should call and they would walk me through my UNK was that the game was power UNK and think that is UNK by review read tonight this is worth new paragraph just to get your attention lt the reviewer took note of the fact that there is no power draw with the ink until the page is changed as the game is continually changing the display as one types in each letter of an answer and the game is searching its data base note some significant delays at times in response the game is definitely power UNK no problem the k3 wasn designed as game player but it nice to have simple game when one wants to kill time but the UNK is that apparently the ink display has no refresh that could mean that there is little difference in battery life when off versus on screen saver ll have to ask about that it also means that slow reader might have longer battery life than fast one lt seriously if the ink page UNK no power when stable then two people could have different battery life experience depending on their usage even if they both had the same amount of on time previous review think amazon should include in its product UNK UNK on wi fi and 3g now that know how to use it very pleased with my kindle wi fi my complaint is the pre information am computer savvy retired UNK but not into wi fi or cell phones being bit the home body chose the wi fi with the intent of downloading through the usb connection on my computer it works well that way but one loses some abilities including the display of the registration on the kindle page one time download on first making connection being an old UNK wasn aware that wi fi was very short range was able to connect through wi fi by driving to UNK UNK UNK considered returning the wi fi and buying 3g but then learned bit more finally discovered that wi fi and 3g are UNK and UNK not different levels of the same thing bought 35 wi fi router there are more expensive ones but not needed for just the kindle and put it UNK with my cable modem and computer it works perfectly and my UNK router provides free wi fi net as have no need for UNK downloads find this the proper solution if away could use wi fi hot spot which now understand is good UNK with wi fi router and computer connection this review might seem UNK to the younger folks among you who are familiar with modern UNK equipment but might be of use to others apparently wi fi is short range local wireless interface to the internet that requires physical connection of wi fi router to the internet my cable modem for example whereas 3g is cell phone type interface over the UNK that UNK that the short range wireless connection from kindle to router will be more stable than the UNK 3g connection having made my complaint ll now UNK the product clear and easy to read was concerned about paging it is quick as sometimes read ahead of myself and have to go back the ease of changing type size on the fly makes changing light conditions easy to handle the collections feature of the library makes it easy to sort one back reading bought the amazon cover it UNK the product some reviews of the cover complain about the elastic closing strap pulling out suggest that they are UNK it over the back when they open the book instead of just sliding it aside get the wi fi only version unless you are on the road lot you don need to be connected except when shopping the store or using the experimental things like the web browser having the wi fi router in your home is nice when the grandchildren visit with their laptops lt best UNK 0 type too small bought the kindle for my mom she is UNK years old tried to make the type bigger on the screen which is possible but with problems when you enlarge the type you can read one line continuously you have to flip from one side of the page to the other which is annoying and makes it hard to read this way so thought well will just keep it for myself have perfect vision and it was hard for me to read most of the pages think will keep looking for something better to give my mom for christmas 1 kindle love my kindle it has helped me achieve my goal to do more personal enjoyment reading didn care for reading newspaper on the kindle but the books are great 1 happy with changes from original kindle had my original kindle for few years and was very satisfied with it finally ordered the new one because gave my original one to granddaughter the new one fits better in my purse when reading magazines really appreciate being able to move forward to the next article and back to the previous article also being able to move forward or back while in an article when ve read enough of it good work guys 1 great reading didn feel that would like reading without the paper between my fingers was wrong it great reading let me say that again it great reading wonder if it has night light so can read with the lights out 1 only one reservation about using kindle very pleased with kindle it convenient easy to use very portable and having dictionary capability is helpful the main reservation have about it has to do with page turning the buttons for this are right where hold the device and constantly accidentally turning pages either forward or back have become accustomed to UNK buttons to some degree but it not the most comfortable way to hold the device still recommend it to others 1 great unless you have large hands still needs few features ve had my kindle for few days now got it over the ipad because of the weight difference the ease of use while hold baby with my other hand also skipped the 3g option to save few bucks because rarely in place that isn close to wireless option overall pleased with the reading experience especially the crisp text fast page turns but there are still several things find to be significantly lacking another row of buttons for numbers and the sign is badly needed using the sym button is pain voice UNK would be tops on my list of needed features stand alone basic note taking app would be very helpful wish it had back that isn just flat series of raised UNK or UNK where the fingers grip the back would really help the device to feel more secure in my hands have relatively large hands and it just feels little awkward to hold and use at times the kindle UNK tag on amazon is great with one big problem realize that users not amazon tag books but perhaps amazon could somehow tag all public domain books it really annoying to have to UNK through pages of the public domain books users have added to be able to find the few that publishers have added but definitely appreciate the great integration between the device amazon really prefer to be able to have the kindle auto rotate the screen and UNK the text to fit if turn it as with the ipad it just cumbersome to use those tiny little buttons how about spelling auto correct auto suggest as often is found on many cell phones again the device seems made for small UNK hands not men or people with mild arthritis so this would be helpful to folks like me who occasionally hit the wrong key in summary it nice device for reading books which is something spend much of my day doing and glad got one but for me it just not quite perfect and worthy of stars yet 1 great product great buy if you like to read this is must thanks amazon this is great product with an affordable price am having the same UNK that had with my first ipod and am very proud of this purchase pros it is better than to read regular book the resolution is perfect you can adjust the font size and several other settings like font type space between lines etc the integrated dictionary is very good if you do not know word just put the cursor on it very good option if your main UNK is not english like in my case you could have lot of books at the same time which is very UNK and small so you dont have to carry all your heavy old books you can download samples of any books so if you don like it dont buy it case you can upload and convert your own documents and supports pdf file and pdf to amazon format you can add notes in your books and then you can see all of them cons having some problems with my wi fi not sure if it is problem with my router however have seem other people with the same problem in internet forums the refresh rate is kind of slow when you want to see full meaning of word in the dictionary and then go back to the book most of the books are in english however there are lot of options in spanish too UNK if you live in country where the amazon 3g is not supported ex UNK UNK just buy the wi fi model any ways if your cell phone is 3g capable and you are using it it can provide the wi fi to your kindle if it is supported in your cell phone great buy recommend it you will not regret 1 awesome ve been wanting kindle for long time but living in the UNK new zealand was sure that the shipping would be killer however the entire product UNK shipping was just little bit over UNK which made it definitely worth it am graduate student at university and instead of carrying UNK binder full of paper can now carry my kindle as well as saving my back am saving lot of trees and UNK ink must admit apart from the practical aspect of the kindle ve also become hooked on reading science fiction again while conventional books are typically over 20 can get UNK book for around few dollars and have UNK my library many times over in the month or so since purchased the kindle finally was pleasantly surprised to find that there are games on the kindle word of warning though ve found that only the ones released by amazon are any good and there were couple of other games admittedly free games which promised UNK but weren really 1 great reader excellent product this has really helped me to read more like the size and light weight the battery seems to last for very long time looked at the other readers on the market and after reading all of the reviews decided to try the kindle shipping was fast and was reading book in just few minutes after UNK it go for the kindle leather cover with the locking UNK it really makes great looking item and functions very well 1 kindle the voracious reader for UNK we bought the kindle is thrilled with the ability to take multiple books along in thin little package couldn be more pleased 1 features were not clear online prior to ordering UNK love the kindle however was upset when realized that it did not have the built in internet connection which did not realize from reading features the fact that have to have wifi connect to get books is no big deal for me but still think that fact should have been made clear on the one purchased at 139 00 thank you 1 awesome reading device the kindle is the perfect reading device it is like reading real book best regards UNK 1 love it love my kindle think its the greatest thing the only problem have is haven been able to figure out how to get the books to return to the first page after UNK them 1 kindle wifi only better but not quite all there bought the latest wifi only kindle model after my 1st generation kindle died after 18 months of use due to screen issue not caused by me my UNK in making buying decision was whether to purchase an ipad another kindle or different reader decided to purchase another kindle for number of reasons these were already have pretty good size kindle library of books am heavy reader and like the screen better than the backlit options such as on ipad ipod touch the price has come down dramatically don mind as much the risk of 139 investment lasting two years compared to the nearly 300 paid for my original kindle and didn want to invest significantly more money in purchasing an ipad now since there will be newer improved model out sometime next year along with other offerings from other UNK the good the new kindle has number of improvements over the first generation the ones like best are the lighter weight smaller size and improved contrast and resolution also for those of us that have or have had the first generation kindle the improvements in the page turning buttons is well appreciated the not so good found the way navigation button to be very trying it is too small to be use effectively when first started almost always hit the back button instead of the down arrow have now UNK to using my finger nail to navigate the various directions hope on the next generation the way button is made larger and moved away from the other keys found the web browsing to be as bad as on the earlier generation kindle anyone that has used an ipod touch as have or an ipad will quickly get frustrated with the experimental web browsing experience in the kindle when using the wifi at my local UNK was very frustrated in navigating the cursor around to log into the network and browse sites using the web browser not sure how long amazon is going to take with these experimental options but after years or so think they should have something better by now otherwise they should just stop offering these another negative is the lack of user replaceable battery copying apple however if my current kindle has the life of the earlier one battery changing is not going to be problem in conclusion my giving this stars rating is based on the unit as reading device if the navigation button was better give it stars 1 kindle review great device easy to set up and work with device buttons couldn ask for more this device UNK what it means to advance and update earlier versions of electronic UNK everyone should start reading again when you have something that works this well 1 the best value for money gadget have purchased in 10 years no doubt that kindle graphite wi fi version is the best gadget around and it won cause you an arm and leg all my technical books came with pdf version so have decided to convert everything to mobi format using calibre an excellent open source book management tool and no longer need to carry around tons of thick UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK and UNK ios books inside my backpack not to mention my wheel of time series the kindle is must have for those who read lot or those who need to read lot to be ahead of the technology game nothing beats going to work carrying only kindle while you relax inside the UNK and yes you can read directly under the sunlight beautiful improved ink contrast 1 just love it had the kindle and now have the kindle loved the first but already love the second like the smaller size and the new things it can do it fits in smaller places like my favorite purse all my friends are really impressed 1 my kindle prior to my UNK would have liked more UNK instructions on how to use and download information it did not come with my kindle since then have researched many of the available books on the current market am always looking out for new and innovative ideas and products my purchase of the kindle 3g wi fi is by far my most exciting product to date the ability to download books and also newspapers and magazines is exciting have downloaded music and enjoy the background sounds while reading without disturbing anyone around me the opportunity to have such large inventory at my disposal and such light weight and small package is UNK UNK hope everyone puts kindle on their christmas list thank you 1 kindle wireless reader latest generation this is all it claimed to be the print is clear and easy to read print size can be adjusted to larger sizes if needed the downloading of books is easy and amazingly fast the selection available for download is unbelievable it is easy to hold in one hand and is very light in weight when you return to the book you were reading it opens up on the exact page that you were last reading have no negatives on this kindle 1 love it love kindle have it with me everywhere go can still make notes and highlight sections in the books that read thus far have always found kindle version of every book wanted to purchase do regret that you don offer any dutch books have been reading on the plane for six hours and the battery had hardly used any power the fact that it uses so little energy and is very easy on the eyes make this product top choice 1 new kindle this kindle is exactly what needed my initial reason to purchase was that travel fairly often but find that end up reading on my kindle even at home it light easy on the eyes no UNK on the screen and it so easy to change the font size the wireless connectivity is simple and fast always being asked about it when people see it and have no hesitation to highly recommend it 1 best product ve brought this year UNK overseas in the last few weeks and took my kindle with 16 books UNK from the beginning it was easy to operate and maybe too easy to buy books to download have enjoyed reading my books in the plane at the hotel and where ever had to wait around this is the best thing have brought and am really enjoying it 1 super kindle3 the kindle3 is my first kindle and made reading book new and excellent experience great way to read book pleased that waited for the 3rd generation before buying one bought the free 3g wi fi model for me and the wi fi only model for my wife ve already recommended it to others who then bought one suggest buying cover without built in light since light is not used all of the time and there no need adding to the weight of the kindle cover there are clip on the cover UNK UNK better UNK that may be used when necessary and not UNK around when unnecessary 1 kindle wi fi review in my honest opinion this this the best reader on the market UNK for functions or for price very small and portable anywhere reading is very enjoyable and you don need any more to carry tons of books with you UNK space is more than enough advise you to buy this product furthermore amazon customer service is very careful and focused on its customer every time ready to UNK your doubts for italian people you can read my review on my blog 1 love my kindle ve only had my kindle for few days but can tell you love it ve had friends ask me why chose the kindle over the other readers before ordered the actual device put kindle on my phone and UNK and had already bought books instead of buying different device it was only logical that stuck with kindle one of the main reasons wanted the kindle is because for the last few years occasionally wake up with painful eye UNK that the doctors can figure out pretty sure eye strain plays part love to read and would hate to give that up feel the kindle would be less stressful on my eyes and since ve had it my eyes feel better it isn UNK but it does take away the stress from the smaller print in normal book because you can adjust the font there is no backlight which can be painful to eyes and the kindle page isn white like most pages which also can hurt my eyes haven tried out the other readers but if you re looking for great reader kindle is awesome in my opinion and well worth the money please read the other comments in the reviews they helped me and hopefully will help you 1 the new generation kindle in UNK finally decided to purchase the kindle after researching it and the ipad decided we only wanted the kindle purely for reading from day one we ve been excited with the kindle we bought of them and haven put them down we bought them mainly for when we travel holiday but couldn wait bought the leather covers to go with them and glad we did apart from the wonderful UNK UNK it also offers some protection for the unit when stored in the handbag as well ve got quite large hands and found the kindle unit bit small but with the cover it feels more comfortable for me to hold the power adaptor was good decision as when on the move don always have access to computer to recharge the unit it good to be able to charge the unit from standard plug we got the UNK type which is suitable for UNK standard power points still getting used to the unit but generally very pleased with it have bought downloaded many books already the downloads are so fast impressive UNK to this 3g mobile stuff and it great just tried the experimental browser for wikipedia great we could get on to this using the 3g network not sure how to access the other websites like google as it appears we have to pay for that but still learning how to do that gather we could do it through wireless internet from our home base we didn buy it for browsing but still gave it go as reader it has been great recently have had to wear glasses for reading since the kindle haven had to wear my glasses as ve been able to increase the reading font size to suit my eyes this has been bonus recently saw paper back book for sale 2nd hand one and bought it even though already bought in for my kindle and had already read it why was still attracted to having the paper in my hands weird really later when thought about it think the reason bought the hard copy was so could it to lend out as it was good book the latest lee UNK worth UNK for as well got it for 10 UNK 2nd hand think if had been more expensive wouldn have bought it but on the whole think it has won me over and that won be buying too many hard copies when can generally get them cheaper from amazon for kindle as new releases sure from time to time when come across book really love or see good price on 2nd hand hard copy then ll buy the hard copy as well old habits UNK but like my hard copy library it been wonderful going back to it over the years gather ll be able to do this with the kindle but yet to experience this we love our purchase and would recommend it to others so far we ve found that based in UNK we do not get the same choices of books yet we hope this is UNK but so far we ve found enough to keep us going there been few funny glitches with the system not UNK but then we turned it off and back on and hey UNK it was fine again as well still testing the battery claim of weeks with wireless off the last time didn seem very long so we ve started the test again also testing the 10 day claim with wireless on think part of it was when we got it we were told it was already charged ready to go we assumed it was fully charged but one of them needed charging by the 2nd day also we followed the instructions that came in the box and of them did the same thing but the third one was coming up with different screen this was the one not fully charged we assumed it had to do with it not being fully charged still keeping an eye on these issues hopefully it all just to do with getting used to the unit hope the above is of help to others thanks UNK 1 simply UNK very good UNK more than expected but in UNK to 139 that it costs paid another UNK UNK at customs it is unacceptable 1 convert love books and could not imagine why anyone would use kindle after running out of books twice while on vacation and having no book stores nearby my husband surprised me with kindle prior to our recent trip it is great am not at ease with technology but within minutes of UNK the box had downloaded and was reading book the screen is easy to read and somehow lose myself in the reading there is no UNK between me and the page it is just there the selection of books available and the lower prices was pleasant surprise am recommending kindles to everyone talk with love it 1 UNK text UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK kindle very good buy positive excellent display extreme UNK built in battery very decent job with the books format mobi unbeatable great support for the conversion of amazon books via mail negative work with books in pdf format lack of support directory structure summary best book reader currently at an unbeatable price 1 now worth the price the prices for previous versions were ridiculous to put it UNK now it price point that will appeal to people actually interested in reading books and not simply adding to their collection of gadgets it works as advertised but handling of maps charts etc in academic books is UNK 1 so glad bought it was little skeptical at first to buy an electronic book reader after doing some solid research it was clear that this particular book reader was the best now that have it love it don even have to wear my UNK readers can just adjust the size of the text instead of straining my eyes it very light and the page turner is right where it should be can really say anything negative about it and am hard sell books are less expensive than hard copy and there are hundreds if not thousands of free books available yes that right free 1 kindle wi fi got my kindle what neat toy this is can believe how quickly can get books everything seems to work great looked at nook and bought the kindle the screen is clear and large enough that even this 60 year old man has no problem reading it and then found that can go on and update my facebook etc well that is just the icing on the cake will recommend this to everyone see 1 sweet am so happy decided to buy kindle researched all UNK priced readers and decided on the kindle the ink makes it so easy to read the free titles have lead me to read few classics wouldn have otherwise read would absolutely recommend this thing to anyone looking for an reader 1 kindle awesome easy to use and lite weight also comes with UNK of online reading materials to purchase 1 new kindle love my kindle my only complaint is cannot get most of the latest releases believe this is because am in canada who fault is this can we email our opinion of this to someone out there who may change this sooner than later 1 good value and well designed before buying checked out the reviews since buying have checked out the nook and sony ereader still feel that the kindle fits me best the nooks touch screen may be fine for some but after having touch screen phone for couple years wanted to stick with real buttons my wife and share one kindle and we read lot so the battery life is only about week using it hours day we both really like the kindle and it is user friendly instead of getting second one got an ipad but that is whole different story the UNK across my kindle laptop and ipad works very well good value for the money 1 the best gift ever this is the best device ever can wait for the evolution of this device imagine color eink UNK resolution and UNK seen device with tablet under the eink display with UNK think this could be UNK to avoid the glare UNK read more books now 1 kindle 3g this is the first kindle ve had so don know how it compares to the other generations but have found it very easy to use especially the 3g 1 amazing device what an amazing device love it so much no longer leave home without it just in case get few minutes with nothing to do the screen is sharp wireless works perfectly downloads are incredibly quick using the internet browser is pain so don get it if you want to use it for that as an reader its main intended function it is awesome though buying one for my mom and will get one for my hubby next 1 love my new kindle love my new kindle this is my first ereader and am enjoying it very much love the wireless downloading of any book want whenever want without having to hook it up to my computer the only thing would say isn the best is the pictures downloaded into it they don look so great but who cares its meant for reading not looking at pictures 1 it is nice not to be dealing with sony it nice not to be dealing with sony we have purchased three sony readers kindle is only recently available in canada one of which only lasted month and UNK both with sony reader store and with sony customer UNK the kindle is relief the screen has better resolution but that may just be UNK thing the real UNK are being able to download directly to the unit which can be UNK addictive and dealing with well organized and well UNK store the keys are bit UNK and version with larger screen and an on screen keyboard when required would be an improvement but they are not killer if you can UNK with blackberry the kindle keyboard is UNK versus the ipad the comparison is bit more complicated it really depends what you are using it for the ipad has colour and ibooks is more elegant interface even versus kindle for the ipad but amazon has bigger library available you can download without UNK to computer the kindle weighs much less and the battery life is at completely different level if you are just reading text use kindle particularly if you are going long time between recharging if you are reading something with colour illustrations or you want to do some of the other things there an app for use an ipad 1 great our second kindle and we re as pleased with it as with the first which was gift 1 great for UNK reading convenient and easy to use for UNK reading books load quickly although expected the graphics to change when the book loaded which they dont you have to be aware of small icon that lets you know when the book has loaded otherwise fine product the page looks just like paperback book page with about the same contrast and has practically no glare in sunlight not for UNK reading unless you add reading light 1 first reader this is my first reader and really like it read alot of the reviews before decided to purchase it and even though there were some negatives decided to try it ve had it about month and have no problems at all like the convenience of not having to go to the store all the time to buy books got the kindle that is wi fi but don live in hot spot so download books thru my computer not that big of deal so far the kindle has been everything they said it would be 1 fantastic think kindle is the best purchase ve done by internet the manage of book is very easy and comfortable moreover amazon convert your books in itself format for free use my kindle all of days delighted to buy it 1 isn technology something got the kindle wifi at first but had problems getting signal anywhere everytime got signal it would just die out so UNK the 139 version for the 189 3g version and am so glad did now can sit in my bed and search the kindle store or go online and check my email in the experimental option it is so strange how technology works nowadays the screen even looks fake but works like charm overall it great product and find myself reading more and buying more books so much that have to put myself on book buying budget the only flaw see is that if you try to do too much at one time the screen will freeze then you have to hold the power button for 15 seconds and let it re start itself do wish some of the newer books were cheaper and the games one of my best purchases yet 1 kindle latest generation love it love it love it super easy to use and read now don have to pack books for my vacations can bring more UNK instead 1 kindle arrived as promised super device works straight out of the box spent hour reading instructions before ordering my first book which arrived as soon as had ordered it love the fact you can read UNK on your kindle or your computer both of which will be spending more time at only thing am worried about is how long the battery lasts as couldnt find any information this is the first ebook UNK have owned and really love it the print is so clear to read and the features are really good things like UNK the typeface are important as normally forget my glasses but am able to read the print UNK and if am feeling lazy to read love the fact you can get your book read to you have thought about buying an ebook reader for years but didnt because thought that the books which like UNK be available was shocked to find that there are millions of titles UNK kindle will free me from my weekly trips to the UNK also bought lighted cover so can read in bed which works well amazing device does everything it promises to do without hitch 1 love it just love my kindle the only problem have with it so far is the number of pages of the book reading but other than that love it haven use it lot but from what have used it love it 1 my kindle ve had my kindle for about month now absolutely love it stopped reading for long time when my husband told me about this type of product couldn believe they had such thing now am back to reading again it great don have bunch of books laying around the house the ease of ordering kindle books online is wonderful if can do it anybody can the only thing wish it would have come with is user manual instead of it being on the kindle itself so could look through the pages for easier UNK but still love my kindle would definately recommend this to everyone 1 very worth it love my kindle already have told people about it love that you don have to carry bulky book it very affordable easy to carry the key pad is good size and downloading is so quick just wish had known about it sooner 1 love love love am book lover and there will always be books that will want to have on my book shelf but read all the time and don need to have every title on my shelf the kindle is great can say enough good stuff about it it is easy to use easy to read easy to turn pages while you are reading you can do this all with one hand still browse the book stores UNK down the titles am interested in and in less than minute can have the book on my kindle certainly say to anyone thinking about this purchase stop thinking get kindle 1 new kindle amazon reader is fantastic piece of hardware the screen is easy to read and is made to resist glare which is nice one problem with kindle is with the content amazon does not allow others to purchase and then gift books to kindle owners this was big disappointment for us since this was gift for our 11 year old son sure others can give gift UNK but this is not the same thing it would be huge advantage if amazon could figure out way for others to purchase then gift books just like with paper books additionally unlike other readers nook books on the kindle cannot be shared not even once it would be nice if amazon would allow an book to be moved not copied from one kindle to another overall this reader is great little device 1 UNK kindle reader this is absolutely the best gadget for me read daily and my kindle is with me whenever waiting in fact arrive extra early for appointments and flights so can relax with my kindle had no problems or UNK with the device or wi fi own the 1st and latest generation kindles no problems both are great 1 love it previously owned kobo from chapters at the time it was the least expensive ereader could find had nothing but problems with it eventually getting so frustrated that ended up returning it then came across the kindle and it was going for the same price as the kobo not wanting to be disappointed again ordered the kindle and prepared myself for new UNK with frustration such wasn the case right out of the box the kindle was breeze to use feature wise it blows the kobo out of the water no UNK to UNK with no firmware updates to apply which had actually rendered my kobo UNK after it deleted all my books now can say enough good things about my kindle use it at home work and while away am thinking about UNK my first UNK kindle highly recommend this ereader 1 have fallen in love with this device at first didn think would like it am addicted to books and just love the sight feel smell of paper books have hundreds have UNK them around with me since college so when my daughter suggested try the kindle was skeptical that would enjoy it let alone even use it but realizing needed to get with it and join the 21st century ordered one ready to UNK my fear and pre UNK UNK to the wind and you know what love it am now card carrying UNK member of this century highly recommend this device to anyone who loves to read the books are inexpensive the ease of reading is and it opens up the entire world of literature including magazines newspapers blogs etc thank you amazon 1 exactly what wanted the kindle reader is exactly what wanted some other products like it can have multiple functions as discovered when shopping for this device but my UNK was only for something simple to use which could carry with me when traveling the fact that can download books en route was pleasant surprise unlike the other product was talking about this one can be read outdoors in sunlight and as my travels often take me to sunny UNK that is also great benefit it is compact and easy to store in carry on bag and the little cover ordered with it holds it securely and safely in my bag as have only just begun to use my kindle and have only read one short book there may be some drawbacks find as go along but thus far it does exactly what wanted it to do at cost far below what was looking to pay had gone with different device ordered my kindle on line from amazon and although there was some delay in the shipping date it was fully worth the wait 1 love my kindle ordered the kindle and leather cover am recently retired have passion for reading and the kindle makes it convenient and affordable 1 great reading with my kindle what great treat to be able to read any where you like without the UNK of carrying load of books the display is easy to read and to be able to change direction on the reader is joy UNK to horizontal the carry case is must it cares for your kindle against dust or accidental UNK of the display setting up to wireless support with security key maybe be bit tricky for some read the manual carefully with the power adapter this give you freedom to go away without the worry of connection to computer for re charging your kindle this device is must for avid readers of books 1 UNK product there is so much to do with this kindle that the possibilities are endless the kindle is easy to maneuver through and the text is better and more clear than before think this will be product we can enjoy for long time to come the wi fi feature is also very nice along with being able to listen to your music 0 not for people who aren computer savy we bought this for my 85 year old mother who reads more in one week than most people do in year however she never used computer and knows nothing about them one wouldn think that was problem with all the ads for the kindle but before you believe those ads let me point out five UNK on amazon part first it hard enough to explain to her what the cursor does and how to move it without the cursor changing on every page sometimes it an underline sometimes it hand UNK at what you can click sometimes it something else UNK not on your life second while you don need computer to use kindle you better have access to computer with an internet connection in order to set up the kindle and create the account needed and change things like the credit card and the name it registered to you can do those things from the kindle only from an internet connected computer third while you can set limit to each credit card transaction so you don accidentally order hundreds of dollars of books by mistake you can simply go back in and place second or third or fourth order so once this is linked to your credit card you better not lose it or someone could have field day with your credit card fourth while you can use an amazon gift card to purchase books with your kindle you can not use an amazon gift card as the main card tied to an account you must give regular credit card number for that if the money on gift card is good enough to buy books why isn it good enough to be used for the main account fifth there little button that you can press to change the size of the text of the book you re reading for people who have difficulty seeing small print too bad it doesn work for the text in the kindle menus amazon you had such UNK opportunity but you ve failed miserably 1 love my new kindle my husband bought me the kindle and love it the price is great lots of cool functions dictionary and text to talk if you have been putting off buying kindle this one will really impress you 1 kindle great product you have great size for traveling or even putting it in your purse small keyboard but you do not use it that much love my new kindle 1 thumbs up screen much sharper than my kindle dx battery life much better than my kindle dx wifi vs 3g much faster size and weight are impressive pricing right where it should be to cut price and size the UNK has been removed actually benefit as no more accidental rotation if you want to change from portrait to landscape you choose it manually no more horrible number shift letter keys have moved into sym key much quicker and easier keyboard very good except that the navigation pad button is too short and cursor buttons too small back and menu keys too close to pad back too easy to hit accidently page keys are great size but should only trigger from the face not the sides too easy to flip pages by just picking up by its sides overall the best kindle yet use mine lot more than the dx some day they may get the page buttons right 1 great step up already have the kindle version and my husband bought the kindle version for me for christmas have already charged it loaded it and have it ready and waiting for me to UNK for christmas do like the smaller size of it since do alot of my reading in bed on my side this fits better also like the contrast UNK too on it just got the wifi one since have wifi in my house and at work and that is where am mostly reading it or downloading it anyway love the kindles thought it would take me long time to get used to using it but no way am book UNK and love reading this took no time at all to get used to using and nothing gets taken away from the experience from using ereader compared to the hard copy of book love my kindles and amazon and their ease of buying books put the books that want in my wishlist and then purchase from there when can simple easy and compact love it 1 love it researched all the readers out there as well as the ipad wanted to get my husband something to read on and wanted the best after reading all the reviews decided on the kindle was not disappointed and neither was my husband it does so much more than just let you read books love that there are literally thousands of books ready to download right at your fingertips reading on the kindle is great it doesn hurt my eyes like reading on an ipad would ve tried with my friends my husband liked his so much he turned around and bought me one it great the browser isn the best but didn buy it to browse the web the only thing would complain about is that would UNK to share books between other kindle accounts like you can with the nook 1 new kindle like it this new kindle is working great only drawback is no backlighting so can read in bed without light the size is perfect the keyboard is small but you don type much on it anyway the 3g purchase system is terrific once figured out you have to manually UNK the wireless after each purchase the battery life is as advertised 30 days very pleased 1 excellent device am confident that UNK will buy both kindle and ipad better than real books for eyes like the UNK which reminds me of UNK simple and sturdy 1 great but it freezes up love my kindle and it UNK me the first time it had problem within the first week had it didn have wi fi connection so it was using the 3g connection then it simply lost it read in the welcome manual to go to settings then menu there had re start option so tried that and it worked then the next week it got stuck or froze it would only show blank page with the title of the last book was reading but it wouldn go anywhere from there tried going to home to another book but whatever selected it would only take me back to the blank page with the title of the last book it wouldn give me menu option in settings it wouldn bring up anything went to my computer and the UNK UNK through amazon it said to turn the kindle off and when turned it back on to hold it in the on position for 15 seconds and that would re start it luckily that worked hope this is the end of my problems 1 satisfaction having great time with my kindle UNK UNK it is so normal that continually try to use bookmark where leave of just very UNK UNK 1 kindle for reading scientific pdf articles am an engineering graduate student and so far have only used my kindle to read pdfs the kindle allows me to read multiple pdf articles without having to print them off or read them off of my computer reading pdfs on the kindle is fine find that changing the screen to landscape allows the entire page to be read without scrolling left right the major drawback is organizing all of the documents when documents are added to the kindle they all just get UNK to the home screen folders can be created in the kindle but this process is very time consuming and cumbersome it would be easier to do all of the organizing with my computer but as far as know this isn possible haven ordered any books from amazon for my kindle yet with most kindle books being only dollar or so cheaper than the paper back version it is hard to justify purchasing them yay public libraries overall the 100 price point makes it worth it to not have to print all of my pdf articles and will be useful for travel 0 kindle korean font sucks overall kindle is very excellent at various experiences except for just one thing the only problem for me is the korean font included with the latest kindle device even if korean cannot read fast enough sometimes the font used for korean characters is really ugly it curious that kindle UNK the experience of book reading while UNK that it reading device please update UNK font as soon as possible you might need to visit korean web sites thank you 1 happy with my kindle ve had my kindle for about two weeks now had day or so to get used to the controls but otherwise am very pleased it is particularly nice for reading in bed as it is much easier to hold onto than book pros lightweight fits in my purse pages easy to turn nice for reading in bed cons tend to look back at previous UNK to refresh my memory and occasionally forward however not the UNK this is difficult with kindle can lend the book reading to friend is one of the biggest drawbacks all in all am very satisfied 1 very pleased love to read and am very happy with my new kindle love all my books in one place including the bible the kindle is light weight fits right in my purse if need to take it with me the kindle has an easy format and holds so many books most often read about books at time UNK between them this makes the kindle perfect tried an book from barnes and noble and was glad to return it and try the kindle am considering buying my UNK each kindle for christmas maybe the lower priced one because though they love to read they are and 13 years old am little concerned about returning the kindle to have new battery at some point think you loose all your books and don get your original kindle back you need to do something about that because will be very unhappy if that happens but that gives you something to work on while read thanks UNK 1 UNK choice of devices for reading ebooks if you do not want to repeat the mistakes that made by buying the first pocketbook UNK and then nook wi fi you can now place orders for the new kindle 3g for the minimum money got chance to read books with an excellent screen use the dictionary share quotes and discuss them with your friends on twitter and facebook experimental browser lets you read news email and article on the internet wherever was not home on the couch or in UNK UNK kindle 3g light enough to be long time to keep it with one hand the management rather intuitive but the manual is worth reading seen from the UNK mentioned are just too sensitive buttons and the lack of password manager in your browser 1 love it it not great to UNK the web or listen to music but it is great to read with was worried that would miss the feel and smell of regular book and don love how small and light it is with leather lighted cover have everything need at my finger tips the best part is that don have to leave my couch to get new book plus there is no shipping live in UNK right now and shipping here is really expensive so this is money saver for me 1 excellent had no idea how much would love the kindle it is light and so much easier than handling the books would never buy the hard backs and so had to wait for them to get into paperback love being able to download in seconds and start reading terrific idea and terrific product 1 kindle 3g so far this UNK loves her new kindle just waiting to see how the 3g service works in areas where could not get whispernet in UNK with my UNK if that doesn work out will change my stars 0 warning UNK issues before you jump on the kindle bandwagon based on all the hype you should consider one piece of information did not owned another book UNK that had lots of problems such as locking up UNK and flimsy construction so decided to replace it and based on all the hype around kindly bought one last month september 2010 the book works well and the controls are fairly intuitive from an UNK UNK rate it star after using it month however shop quite bit at two other sites that use mobipocket formats since kindle claimed supported this format UNK in but quickly found out that my entire library was useless on the kindle and can no longer buy books form either site the reason is that even though the books sold there are mobipocket they have some sort of code called drm that kindle will not allow you to read so year worth of library up in UNK and to make matters worse amazon apparently owns mobipocket so can UNK no reason they do this anyway be advised that you will be limited to amazon to buy books for the most part for myself would return for my money back if could and buy more widely supported reader good luck 1 great have not yet been able to get on line to download anything still UNK as green UNK trying to get it to accept my password 1 year review bought my kindle with wifi 3g in UNK years and months ago bought year service UNK as didn know anyone with kindle and had no idea how long it would last use it all the time by that mean probably read hours per day with lot of on off switching take it to work and have UNK it around quite bit last year read 50 novels on it cons south UNK doesn always have good reception near the beach and may require multiple attempts to download book not lit just like real novel shopping from the kindle isn nearly as pleasant as from the internet pros in state sales UNK in the ne have never had problem downloading reliability is dead on not one issue in UNK months readability is perfect anywhere except dark room reasonable size and weight which find UNK for long hours of reading sometimes as much as hours at time the battery even on this older model lasts minimum of weeks with regular use when the wifi is off sharing is possible if you have multiple devices including ipad iphone laptop and kindle if all are on the same amazon account share among devices kindles ipad and computer the books are cheap typically 10 for brand new book on the first day of release compare to 26 for novel in hardback no more lack of shelf space had ton of books and finally UNK house harder to do than thought letting go was shocked that got so little for my books at used book store even the library didn want these recent releases so what the point of having them all can always download book again for free if want to reread it 1 wow love my latest kindle it hard to UNK that the newest kindle is even better than my other one that ve only had since christmas but it is no more dragging bag of books along on vacations no UNK pages nothing but sheer pleasure the latest version is even easier to read outside no UNK are too many 1 friendly it is good product it has all what need to read texts UNK would like it to have faster 3g connectivity 1 even better than expected we UNK our kids and the kindle has helped in making it easy to carry our book with us we use lot of older books and usually have to print them out and UNK them we use lots of paper ink and storage space purchasing the kindle we were able to download the same books for free or for very minimal cost now my daughter can having her readings all in one place fast and very accessible of course there is only one drawback she and her father tend to swipe the kindle from each other guess will have to buy another one 1 kindle have been using it for weeks and love it price size and speed are great don like that you can create collections without connecting it to wifi network search for books could be better by being able to search by title or author otherwise its great and would recommend it my wife has kobo but the kindle is superior 1 kindle just finished my first book and find the experience very very enjoyable when ordered my kindle from amazon accepted an offer to apply for an amazon credit card and receive 30 00 discount have not received the card or the discount 1 easy reader was very impressed by the kindle bought it as gift for my wife and she loves it it is very easy to use and has fantastic display downloading new books is piece of cake 1 kindle book reader the kindle reader does exactly as advertised the display contrast and sharpness are great battery life is very long even without wifi it is very easy to download books and copy to the reader using the included usb cable downloading directly from the internet using wifi is even easier and since the books are not large files they download very quickly it is somewhat awkward to use the kindle browser for internet surfing so if you are looking for cheap internet machine this is not it 1 no more heavy UNK finally can take all my books with me and don have to decide which one going to bring today you have to see this to believe how readable it is just like paper even better than some of the cheap paperbacks own brought it to work and everyone was very surprised how book like the print is so far people have ordered one after seeing mine and only got it week ago give it try 1 kindle display very cool and easy to use downloading books is piece of cake some reflective glare on the screen from UNK lights when reading at night 1 kindle the UNK of the electronic gadget recently bought kindle why buy device that almost exclusively UNK you to one UNK the display and 139 price tag surely did help small compact and price that won drive you to UNK but why amazon to be honest no one wants to be the junkie who has to buy from only one UNK but such is the UNK reality in today gadget world look apple look phones look game UNK until recently bought most ebooks from either UNK or mobipocket and read them on my UNK UNK backlit and thus fit for reading in UNK dark like in your bed but not much suited for reading in full sunlight outside added to that is battery life few hours and having UNK UNK connected to the ac plug around becomes necessity more problematic are the UNK in ebook UNK ve written and UNK about it before UNK restrictions the UNK UNK of publishers that paper book can be bought overseas or out of country but an ebook can due to those restrictions and due to the largely UNK interest of UNK barnes noble in foreign customers to fight for them the site has mainly become an us only site UNK UNK and sad to say in comes amazon they did what barnes noble should also have done taking care of foreign customers so there you have it no color screen nook or sony reader no UNK or whatever the kindle allows for few formats like pdf not ideal on small screens doc and prc format without drm but no epub which is pity on the other hand it possible to convert few of those formats to kindle format via amazon as free service and that big plus amazon has long UNK the idea of 10 piece books and some kindle versions are even more expensive than the paper versions but this is review of the kindle not of the price UNK of UNK know shouldn UNK publishers and their UNK UNK hate against customers who pay their daily bread but in the end when it comes to books just as stupid as they are and in the end we as readers and customers will survive because UNK UNK itself out of the gene pool hmmmm shouldn that also go for me UNK kindle hands on the kindle comes to you in box ready for use the only glitch in that amazon UNK is setting up your wifi network on the device have no open network but secured with very very very long and very very random string of letters numbers and UNK it cost me ten minutes to type them all to make finally contact and the keyboard see below isn really helping here with kindle you don buy even the most basic sleeve you either have to buy the ridiculously expensive ones from amazon basically making them more difficult to handle or go on the free market not for me though because buying an alternative protective sleeve on us site will UNK the price for me here in the UNK due to postage fees so UNK on hard UNK game computer sleeve bit tight but working nicely and it the exact UNK color at large store in my UNK for less than way to go UNK but then you have reading device with all your books on it even if you bought them before you bought the kindle itself the device is small and thin tablet with an ink screen easily to hold for hours with battery that lasts for weeks UNK how about that ink many complaints about sluggish UNK through the pages and ghosting could be heard by earlier UNK of ereaders not anymore with the generation three kindle turning page goes quicker than with real book and UNK images of the last page fade away very quickly there are two versions of the kindle the wifi and the wifi 3g version the latter doesn make much sense if you have access to wifi network on regular basis the device is basically reader and not device to be online like tablet or netbook wifi UNK and so keep the 50 bucks in your pocket you can buy four or five books for that extra price the kindle can store lot of books on its UNK user free space but it has no external memory available like micro sd or the likes on the other hand who needs all his books all the time when you can keep them stored on amazon UNK and download the as soon as you need them depending on pictures in the book or other features an average book is about UNK to UNK worst case UNK lets you store about 3000 books more average score will be around UNK 5000 books that is if you don decide to put audio books or mp3 only music on the device as well the kindle has audio capabilities headphone jack and very basic player no interface just few keystrokes to start pause or stop and volume UNK it also has the familiar UNK text to speech feature except for book publishers who hate blind people and disable it in their books which looks UNK but doesn understand proper names and UNK as well as it should other extras are standard browser and limited possibility to organize your books into categories the kindle also has small keyboard leaving little room for UNK small buttons and pop up screen for UNK numbers and UNK makes it something you can use but not to get excited about reading on the kindle is quite relaxing experience and that what it all about crisp text the ability to go to larger or smaller font formats few different fonts save for those books where it has been disabled and the choice of portrait or landscape kindle has bookmarks UNK UNK an in reading dictionary even two british and us and generally clean lay out it will remember your last page read for all books all the time you can share your clippings with others if you like either in book it self or on twitter or facebook and read other as well of course but luckily the feature does have an on off possibility you can read it either right and left handed because there are two separate forward back buttons at each side of the kindle UNK the on off switch is located at the bottom and leaves me with little doubt it feels UNK and is not always lock proof rather have sturdy button at the front but each to his own the device switches off after certain amount of UNK time this is not per user setting the screen savers when off are quite nice touch the kindle can be password protected in case your collection of literary UNK should be protected guess as conclusion it might be clear that in the age of tablets the kindle falls short if you expect an ipad like device but is winner when it comes to reading UNK UNK it don hand out scores because each has his or her own wish list when it comes to electronic UNK but for 139 the kindle might not be steal it is currently winner when it comes to price performance in the current ereader market backed up by large UNK of ebooks available around the world also at 1 exceptional ebook reader UNK wanted to get an ipad for my books since wanted to an easier way to carry my books when travel so looked my needs and decide to buy the kindle own sony prs 500 ebook reader compared to the kindle the kindle was huge upgrade it feels comfortable in my hand and you can actually do one hand reading my friends saw my kindle and have order theirs after testing my unit had this unit for awhile and personally dont find any UNK my needs if you are looking for device that does UNK on one task then the kindle is the best ebook reader right now 1 go get one really pleased with the kindle currently live in small middle east country where the selection of english language publications is very limited it great having massive selection of books and magazines at my fingertips love being able to get book delivered direct to my kindle within seconds of ordering it wasn sure if that functionality would work where am but ve had no problems at all the device itself is light and easy to use the only thing miss compared to paperback is that the kindle does not use conventional page numbers like the option to use conventional page numbers or the kindle location system but that minor thing it great gadget 1 nice work great device only problem have is the back and forward button locations hit them with my hand placement 1 nice to have it would be nice to have UNK attached to my kindle strap similar to the wrist strap on camera would be an asset it should be attached near the center on the bottom so that either right or left wrist may used 1 seldom do write glowing reports am an UNK reader however lost an eye several years ago and had to turn to UNK although these books do not require reading they do require headphones never could use UNK and lacked the advantage or ease of returning to the last page my friends suggested trying kindle but have trouble reading my computer screen and cell phone do the way light comes to you however when first saw kindle in person almost instantly knew that could read this product easily and was thrilled by the number of books available turning pages back was again available and no longer fear UNK run out of books available or that can afford other than offering discount for disabled UNK who have proven sight problems have nothing to add other than thanks for the UNK 1 my first ereader love my new kindle it is lightweight and very portable never UNK paperback in my handbag but kindle handles the job with ease right there when need it amazon please please please make more books available for the UNK UNK region we UNK are big readers we have more UNK per head of UNK than any other country 1 read anywhere literally am one of those people that sees an interesting book and buys it this has lead to stacks of books yet to be read everywhere made UNK decision to get this all in order and purchased the kindle now can add books to my wish list and download them once have finished previous book the kindle ease to read is truly amazing have not bought the cover with light as feel it makes the unit too bulky have yet to find suitable cover highly recommend this unit to anyone considering it 1 almost five stars this is my first kindle and glad waited while an avid book reader find the kindle really supports my habit and certainly makes it more convenient to read and somewhat easier to shop although still prefer the amazon store on my laptop better anyway for what it worth here are my pros cons and wish list for my ideal kindle would also pay more for kindle from my wish list below great for traveling without being UNK down by paper pros easy to read clean crisp typeface eink is nice color is better lightweight easy to hold reads especially well in well lit conditions in UNK light it helps to have an add on reading light quality construction excellent battery life appears to be quality product was in back order UNK but amazon got it to me several days earlier than expected graphite UNK is quite nice wifi and 3g built in and free context sensitive built in dictionaries nice feature great for copying sections and taking notes cons keyboard is good but definitely throw back to an earlier time especially with touch screens UNK the market way button works fine but reminds me of user interface used 10 years ago rather have mini track pad keyboard and interface are sort of clunky does the job though rather the screen read like browser with pinch zoom graphics aren handled particularly well and they aren integrated into the text such as magazines they usually come page or two after the text and on separate page more difficult to UNK graphics to text in technical reading better for reading book text not as good for magazines and periodicals with UNK doesn support layout except with experimental browser which is clearly work in progress book store appears more limited than regular amazon com refresh rate could be just tad faster cannot share passages or book on limited basis even for limited time like the nook wish list touch screen color UNK mini track pad option of keyboard or on screen keys about the same size as this kindle larger and heavier doesn work for me replaceable battery so that can keep back up charged since the color screen will use more power you can change the battery now basically asking for an pad type device perhaps an android os but the same size as the kindle3 option to shop for books and periodicals at different on line UNK epub option context sensitive footnotes include text linked index when published with the book linked text know want it all no trade UNK 1 wonderful device recently removed large wall unit in my UNK in order to make room for some exercise equipment in the process UNK many old books enough to fill large four foot high UNK UNK this made me realize how much space books take buy book here and there and before you know it an entire bookcase if filled to capacity recently saw the kindle advertised on amazon watched the UNK that was appeared on UNK UNK show with the UNK of amazon decided to order the kindle what wonderful device imagine the physical space that 3500 books would require this little baby UNK them all up in unit that is about the size of your average paperback because there is no back light there is absolutely no eye strain when reading on the kindle it really does UNK disappear the six inch kindle is ideal for folks who enjoy paperback size books would not recommend it for people who buy larger books with illustrations or graphics there is larger unit that is available which may suit that purpose the kindle is terrific device that is very affordable added leather cover which is equipped with pull out light also enjoy the convenience of being able to quickly download books from amazon website well done amazon 1 UNK leave UNK have been UNK for kindle for some time and my husband gave me the 3g model for my birthday have been using it for several days now and can say without hesitation that the few reservations had about UNK to an reader have been happily put to rest was concerned about few of the points brought up in some of the reviews ve read the UNK ones but find the kindle to be as perfect device as one has right to expect have to point out that you shouldn plan on reading immediately upon UNK up your kindle for the first time perhaps it was just me but found that spent good deal of time just UNK at it and checking out all of the features initial observations it does not look like an electronic device the screen looks like an actual page from book there is no backlight assure you this is good thing and the screen does not look like anything you ve seen before the contrast and crispness are remarkable and the page turns are very quick if you re on the fence as to whether kindle is for you would encourage you to go to best buy or target so that you can see one for yourself the included users guide is very thorough and worth paging through with the kindle you really do forget you re reading from an reader once you take moment to find your ideal holding position you hardly even notice you re pushing button to change pages suggest getting cover which makes it much more comfortable my husband got me an edge which is quite nice whispernet is fantastic it is an excellent delivery device love having access to thousands upon thousands of free books after just few days my kindle has practically paid for itself with all have downloaded at no cost it is true that many of the free books have no table of contents which can make them difficult to navigate but free is free and not going to complain no it is not an ipad it is dedicated reading device and by far the best one if you want the best reader on the market and just want to read get kindle if you want to surf the net have backlit touchscreen lots of apps and be able to read books on something which reading was an UNK get an ipad the kindle is the perfect size and weight and the absence of backlighting makes it pleasure to read for extended periods of time with zero eye strain some of the experimental features are actually quite nice really enjoy the facebook and twitter sharing in which you can highlight passages and send them to your feeds the text to speech feature is bit robotic but isn feature plan to use beyond my initial UNK what this when was checking out all the extras the kindle is beautifully UNK easy to use device that after just few days wonder how ever lived without the screen is quite simple to clean which is good since UNK of UNK given in fit of birthday UNK and excitement leave UNK 1 overseas users love my kindle it is really great for anyone who is living overseas and wants to have access to english books live in china facebook is UNK but not on my kindle 1 love it as english is my second language love the option to instantly see the meaning of every word on the page with help of dictionary it is also great to order the book and be able to read it instantly compared to having to wait one week for delivery the only problem with kindle is that my girlfriend is constantly UNK it from me got to buy her her own kindle asap 1 great way to get back into reading like many people after college my love of reading went the way of my love for school and thus my UNK time was taken up by video games and the internet ended up getting kindle through an ordering UNK while was thinking of returning my kindle before even trying it out am happy that kept it overall this is very nice product albeit with few UNK kinks the kindle is very lightweight and the text reads very well it does look like you are reading real text although at times it feels like you re reading an over sized original game boy and just like the game boy this product requires light in order to work but seeing as you need light to read regular book this shouldn be an issue there is decent selection of books available and the numerous public domain books which include classics like dracula UNK and various others and having free samples goes long way although such thing is necessity since as of now there is no such thing as kindle library like regular public library although have read that amazon is creating new system that allows you to lend books to people from one kindle to another in addition one feature that really liked is the text to speech which essentially turns any book that has it into an audio book have baby at home and it was nice if my reading got UNK that could go and turn on the speech mode and continue to listen to my book finally also liked how there are kindle apps for various devices such as the ios and android devices being able to download your books to your devices and sync up your last read page makes for seamless reading on the go it won replace the functionality of the kindle but it is nice to be able to read without having to lug the kindle around which is hardly UNK anyways here are the few UNK with the kindle to be fair some of the bigger ones appear to be not caused by the kindle itself but rather the market and the publishers first off while many books are available for the kindle and many upcoming books are having same day hard copy digital copy there still significant number of books UNK for the kindle this will affect different people in different ways but there are at least books that really want to read that are simply not available on the kindle service also while there are many books available for the kindle the prices of the kindle versions are not always consistent more often than not ve found that hard copies are actually cheaper than kindle editions with one book which title UNK me costing nearly times more than the hard copy amazon points out that such prices are set by the publisher so while they may be to blame it doesn change the fact that need to pay 40 for the digital copy of this particular book for that price you could buy the book at store and have the UNK read the whole thing to you finally the page navigation buttons feel rather cheap on the kindle itself one of them feels like it is getting ready to snap off and ve only had this thing for about 45 days even with these complaints can very easily recommend the kindle to anyone who loves or used to love reading the kindle does not come across as flash in the pan ebook like various others do and with amazon UNK it it is safe to say that this product and the kindle system will be around for quite while at under 150 the added convenience and shelf safe it saves make it great for the casual readers as well as the book UNK 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device avoided buying an electronic reading device already spend most of the work day in front of computer screen and did not want to put any more strain on my eyes in my off hours the kindle 3g is an amazing product have used it when travel and after being on the computer all day and have not had any problems with eye strain it extremely portable easy to use and appreciate being able to download new reading materials in less than minute would recommend it to any avid reader looking for an electronic reader 1 love my kindle ve had my new kindle for couple of weeks now and really enjoying it find it very easy to use and ordering books is pretty simple too plus don have all those books piling up anymore saving trees gotta love that 1 best 200 have ever spent the 200 spent on my kindle was honestly the best investment have ever made bought it mainly for the 3g internet and it has worked better than could have hoped downloading books is breeze could spend good 20 years reading all of the free books it has available and when get through those will be buying books from the awesome kindle store all in all the best thing you could do with 200 buy one now 1 love the kindle but wish there were more screensaver photos of non UNK UNK as if no one else in the world ever wrote anything of UNK or UNK to modern UNK guess this product was intended for middle america once again thank you for UNK me and my UNK to UNK not white but do love the kindle well done 1 the kindle the first time was introduced to the kindle was thru family member that loves to read she just kept talking about it so finally almost year later decided to purchase one my only regret is that took so long to get one travel out of the country at least once year and the kindle is perfect for those plane rides mean used to have or books for my trip now just have everything right there on my kindle it is so convenient and very easy travel partner would recommend the kindle to anyone who loves to read and love to travel with books this is one purchase you will not regret 1 this is great product waited long time to purchase an reader this is my first one so can compare it to any of the others on the market but very happy so far with my experience with this kindle ve downloaded two books already and my kids want to use it too great product at great price 1 gift not asked for this kindle was birthday gift from my husband but wasn sure if wanted it so really surprised how much like it reading more than did before and the kindle was so easy to get started on downloading books takes less than minute when start my kindle it automatically goes to the book and page was last on it great for reading at home in waiting rooms and for travel can have all my books with me all the time 1 great for those with vision problems and note on letters wearing off bought the kindle for my husband also have one was skeptical if he would use it as he not techno UNK like am he has vision problems and loves to read right out of the box he fell in love with his kindle he said it is so much easier on his eyes than regular book now he never UNK from his kindle also bought the cover with the built in booklight for him he likes the cover but the booklight isn very useful may return the cover bottom line the kindle really UNK eyestrain is easy to use lightweight and books download instantly we are sitting in UNK and able to download books update UNK 2010 have the graphic kindle it been only little over month since got my kindle really love it but the letters on the buttons are wearing off emailed amazon and was first told to buy UNK skin to protect the keys and it would solve the problem that UNK me because the keys were already worn then got another email UNK for bad advice and told to call customer service for possible replacement ll be interested in seeing what they have to say about the problem not crazy about having to return the kindle every couple months for replacement because the letters are wearing off update UNK 11 have to say very impressed with amazon service called them about the letters wearing off the keys was connected to service person very quickly they told me they would overnight me new kindle did get it the next day they told me if continue to have problems with the lettering they will keep sending me new ones until they have the issue resolved which they are working on not all kindles have the problem but was one of the lucky ones but that ok with the ease of service and getting new one it not problem 1 kindle wireless reading device wifi display love it am getting familiar with how it works and love the fact that can shop for books and download them in minutes it is easy to read in any light even the bright sunlight does not affect it it is great for travelling it is small and comfortable to hold and relatively easy to use 1 we love it we have an ipad as well but for pure reader the kindle cant be beat it lighter has much longer battery life fits in purse or bag more easily and can be read in the bright outdoors the ipad reflective screen doesn handle sunlight so well the wifi also works flawlessly the only small knock against it is reading late at night you need separate light source just like reading real book 1 UNK quite UNK with my buy the most important negative aspect is the paper is not very white but UNK gray like recycled paper the other problem for me is the shortage of italian titles in amazon shop however 3g works great in italy 1 love that kindle love it have downloaded books that haven read since was kid and the bonus is that most of those were free my only UNK is that in some cases you can get the whole series on kindle books can find only UNK UNK on kindle books find that it is very easy to read even in the smallest type and am over 60 since started UNK about my kindle and showing it off UNK UNK other kindle purchases find that the batteries don last month without recharging but that maybe because can read for about 10 hours day when am really UNK in the book also in the couple of weeks that have had it have downloaded quite few books am not happy with the text to speech feature find both the male and female voices too UNK and they do not flow can see myself using that feature for the reasons had intended 0 still relatively poor selection of books for kindle if you read anything other than ny times bestsellers and or established classics the kindle is very hit or miss there is lot of good stuff there but there is also lot that is not there just to give you somewhat UNK idea here are the UNK ve had so far granted everyone list of their UNK books will be different UNK the hugely important volume history of the UNK UNK by UNK not on kindle UNK UNK by UNK not on kindle mary UNK very little available and none of her most UNK works UNK UNK very little available and none her most UNK works see pattern here the UNK books volume 12 is the only one available why the hugely popular UNK series by cs UNK not on kindle are you kidding me the UNK earth by jack UNK not on kindle the book of the new sun by gene UNK not on kindle UNK of the UNK yes it is on kindle but the kindle specific reviews indicate lots of typos no maps etc no wonder amazon doesn let you UNK book reviews to those that are specific to the kindle only UNK would have only star UNK same as UNK just an all out terrible port to the kindle the UNK book by UNK gotta be there right it is but none of the songs are there there is no UNK common problem with kindle books and worst of all the chapter titles are in the same font as the text of the book with no spacing before or after them one hundred years of UNK by UNK UNK UNK not on kindle UNK by UNK UNK not on kindle anything by UNK UNK yeah volume of his volume history of the UNK war great and so on again your list will surely be different and you might be one of the lucky ones but save yourself the disappointment and do some searches before you buy you ll be surprised at the incredible variety of classics and favorites that are not on kindle or are very poorly rendered to kindle there is link you can click to request book be put on kindle and yes ve clicked them all and continually do so but not holding my UNK think we re years away from most popular books being on the kindle and in well formatted and well thought out UNK 1 techie book junkie dream got too little time for review must get back to all the reading have been missing the last several years the kindle is the answer to reading UNK have had while my children were young now that they are UNK seem to spend time in the car waiting for them to complete various activities had been listening to the radio or if the wait was going to be long UNK up the laptop and doing some work remotely while the car now just need to take the kindle with me and can chose foreign countries to explore escape into novel read that classic never got around to or even the bible the kindle has also come in handy as forgot my book likely on purpose because what really want to do is go to the movies with my friends 3g download and UNK no UNK get your reading done except that they seem to be forgetting books on purpose now because they like the portability of mom kindle 1 portable and easy to use have used netbook and variety of reader software to read books that are UNK available on the web the kindle is easier to hold since have about 40 UNK of books made more shelf space for new books by giving away my classics and downloading free electronic versions have yet to try it for pdf books have lot of technical material in that format 1 kindle wifi latest version this product met all of my expectations and love it leaving on business trip next week and in UNK have downloaded several books magazines and articles from work ve been meaning to read it is easy to set up the instructions are clear and UNK and the functionality is user friendly my strong advice to anyone purchasing this device is to order your case with it it is not comfortable to use or safely store transport without case also buy nice case you have quality item and it deserves quality case 1 easy and convenient to use it does not take someone who is an electronics expert to know how to use the kindle am proof of that UNK once the kindle battery is charged up which just UNK plugging the kindle into power outlet via its cord there is nothing to set up before it can be used UNK chose book from the amazon website paid for it and it UNK appeared on my kindle the price of the book was far less than what would have paid for it in bookstore so that is bonus saving money second bonus is that it also saves time because there is no waiting after purchasing book from amazon for it to arrive at your house take my kindle with me to appointments so have something to read other than UNK and or UNK magazines while am waiting also like the fact that can have several books loaded on my kindle before take long trip and don have the weight that those or books would add to my suitcase this means can bring couple more UNK of UNK am still learning about the other things my kindle can do so will leave it to one of the electronics UNK to comment on them think these electronic readers like the kindle will replace the heavy and expensive school textbooks that students have to lug around everything students need to read will be right there on their kindle imagine the number of trees that could be saved if everyone read from kindle rather than from printed material on paper also purchased the UNK red leather cover that has built in light so can read in low lit locations 1 love it have enjoyed my kindle ever since got it it makes reading go so fast it so easy to use and makes the pages flow by so fast before know it at the end of the book like the 3g and being able to download book at anytime my daughter who has had some reading difficulties uses my kindle and uses the text to speech and follows along she actually likes to read now thought would never say that would highly recommend it to anyone 1 love love love my kindle all have to say is that love my kindle this was one of the best purchases have made and my husband is thrilled that won have anymore books laying all over the house did lot of research and the kindle by far exceeds my expectations highly recommend the kindle to anyone who has love of reading especially if you read on the go it fits perfectly in any handbag and is so quick and convenient have never had an issue connecting the the wi fi and have been able to purchase every book was searching for plus there are so many free classics that am so excited to get to read all over again 1 kindle 3g very happy with my new kindle text is easy to read and my eyes don get tired after longer reading love the browser and ability to buy books directly from the device one thing don like is keyboard because keys are too small for my fingers know that this device is not made for writing but even marking words to check in dictionary is hard for me maybe just have too big hands 1 lovin my kindle enjoy my kindle how easily it is to read do notice however that sometimes there is UNK of the sleep mode when turn it all the way off not overly fond of the reading option because it is still too computer like doesn UNK some of the text correctly other than that it is easy to use and the speed of purchases to kindle is fantastic 1 no pages to UNK love my kindle used to carry books around until they were UNK in my purse pulling them out putting them back kindle is the perfect size and have my library in UNK no pages to UNK my mom and husband both both me the wifi version and returned both of them to get the 3g which is so worth it wish had known of the lighted book cover just got the plain one 1 love it my husband bought this for me for my birthday this is my first experience with an reader let me say first that love books actual books but now only want to read on my kindle it so convenient and easy to use the pages turn quickly the battery has only been charged once since got it last week and ve already read books use it alot can take it with me in my purse can buy book and it in my library within 30 seconds don have to leave the house to buy book how great is that carry this thing all over the house and it comfortable to hold it in any position and don have to worry about the pages UNK over anymore it very easy to see and adjusted the typeface to be little bigger so now don have to use reading glasses can say enough about this thing don know how the kindle compares to any other reading device but love this and have no complaints haven had any problems seeing it in the low light of our family room in the evenings am completely happy with it it is too bad that you can share books though that would be nice improvement my mom recently loaned me books but prefer reading on the kindle so much that just keep buying books from the kindle store only have the wifi not the 3g so far it hasn been problem at all since only use it for books don think will ever really need 3g read reviews for the kindle last year and wasn convinced that would like it so glad that have one now 1 love my kindle love my kindle use it everyday and cannot be without it it so easy to use and love how fast can down load book 1 must have the amazon kindle has become one of the few things in my life can do without love the ease of use and the fact that the cost of novels are much cheaper than the brand new books in print with an electronic book you have no shipping costs my favorite bonus with this technology is the fact that am not cutting down tree to read my favorite novels and authors have no UNK to buy print book unless there is no other option over all love the kindle and it has taken it place along with my cell phone in short lists of things take with me every where 1 best piece of electronics have ever bought this is the single most user friendly electronics product have ever purchased or used simple to use super easy to download new books 1 even better than anticipated kindle makes reading more than just UNK it adds an UNK of fun too we have two of these can put them down extremely sharp UNK in any lighting condition light weight simple to navigate thru the features options and it looks great too and of course access to huge inventory of publications makes it perfect source for reading entertainment of every type so far all pros no cons 1 should of had the option love the kindle but was one of the last to get the older kindle before it was on major back order still think amazon should of told me if wait couple of weeks could get the new version and then to top the UNK thing off they lower the price big time we that bought the kindle at the higher price should get amazon credit of some kind think that the least they could do use my kindle all the time but would of loved the newer one 1 love my kindle but my new kindle3 is great it my first reader so can compare it to others the one problem ve found after owning it since exactly sept 20 10 is that the frequently used letters have begun wearing off the keys this seems UNK if you re UNK UNK as am and should know where the letters are but the keys are tiny to begin with which is fine but nearly impossible to use if you can see quite what letter is on them ve purchased some white UNK UNK paint and UNK UNK UNK and have brought the UNK back into view still seems like this aspect could use some UNK nonetheless it complete pleasure to read on this little UNK if this topic has been addressed to death UNK didn have time to read all the reviews cheers 1 glad upgraded purchased kindle in late 2009 loved it it was my first reader tech geek that am also purchased an ipad and was gifted nook this new kindle is my preferred reading device hands down had read the reviews of people saying the contrast was improved but didn really buy it until actually had the device in my hands stand corrected it is the UNK thing to an actual book out of all the devices own or have played with the smaller lighter size is amazing can actually read it in dim light way better than could on the k2 had planned on keeping the k2 since purchased the wifi only k3 but can put this one down so passing the kindle love to family member also have to agree with the reviews comparing nook to kindle page turning is much slower on the nook and even on my wifi at home the kindle browser is faster and books download faster the kindle loads much faster and has yet to freeze up on me as the nook has k3 again better contrast than the k2 or the nook bought k3 for my mom as well for me the ipad has never been really UNK to leisure reading it is too bright too heavy and it gets quite hot after extended periods when want to read books no better option than k3 when want to watch movies and play games ipad nook well get free UNK when go to UNK store 1 kindle 3g had not planned on purchasing any wireless reading device but my ipod broke and my husband listen to audible books via the ipod while researching devices on audible com saw that they showed kindle as one of the devices for listening to their books it seemed like smart buy since also read lot besides listening to books best purchase have made in years have had problems with eye strain while reading so could only read for short periods of time with the kindle am able to read however long want to with no eye strain the audible sounds good on it although it would be nice if the volume could be UNK you have to be pretty close to it to hear it in the car it not problem because we plug it into the car speakers got the 3g model because don currently have wireless computer download the audible books to my computer then transfer it to the kindle because of the remote area live in unable to download my books unless drive about 10 miles not problem buy or find free books via my computer and when in an area that gets the 3g anything have purchased automatically downloads to my kindle keep several books in my kindle so ll never be without book keep the wireless turned off most of the time as not to drain my battery the claims are that the kindle has long battery life but have found have to charge mine everyday by the end of the day my battery is getting low think listening to the audible drains the battery faster even with the above noted issues highly recommend the kindle for anyone that reads lot and or UNK to audible books 0 amazon should just give these away for free cons both the nook and sony reader allow you to read books on it that are checked out from your local library digital library the kindle does not support any books except the ones you buy from its site sure it allows adobe but not adobe books checked out UNK through the internet for someone who can easily read book week realized very quickly that my kindle could be costly habit so began looking into whether or not libraries have digital books you can check out well they do except kindle does not support any of their formats if could do it all over would get nook not only could use it to check out books from the library but you can also share books with other nook users wish knew this information before pros love reading on the digital reader and the text quality is good bottom line great item if you only plan on using it on trips and such or if you have tons of money to spend on digital books that really have no value after you read them unless you plan on reading them again which will down the line the price of the item is affordable but they will get you with the cost of each book 1 great product one of the best products that have owned totally recommend it not only to people that likes to read regular literature as my self that what normally read are technical books it is great have all my tech books to consult at the moment wherever go with the format UNK UNK of the pdf features of the device great product 1 love my kindle have wanted kindle for long time decided would be responsible and read my books before bought one however the price was so UNK couldn stand the UNK any longer not only bought the kindle purchased the current book was reading it is fabulous love using it it is so easy to operate and read love being able to order book any time of the day or night live two hours from the nearest UNK so you can see what benefit this is don wait kindle rocks 1 great product have been very impressed with this product this was the first kindle that have owned and for pure reading device don think that you can beat it the screen clarity and contrast is perfect for reading anywhere whether inside or outside the software is breeze to navigate and putting books on the device is very simple it connected great to my wireless network and the battery life is the longest of any tech device that have ever owned especially like the size it is portable and more convenient than any book would highly suggest this product 1 can imagine being without am an avid reader and being able to read new book within seconds is amazing the only negative if it can be called that is the lack of light though probably good thing as would be up reading 1 great device bought kindle after read its positive reviews to my UNK it is very simple to use the functions are intuitive and easy to find the battery is great have used it for over weeks after full charge and the battery indicator still show half left best of all it comes with build in oxford dictionary so that really helps when am stuck on certain words UNK convenience at last 1 UNK product with some minor things to improve this month bought two kindle for use in mexico one for me and one for my mother we re both very happy with the equipment the only problem see is that the interface is in english and can not be changed to spanish if had known it would not have bought that for my mother it seems UNK that amazon sells it to other countries and not be able to change language software kindle is an excellent product and next christmas will buy another UNK for my kids and my wife but will be without 3g since in mexico do not find very useful amazon should pay more attention to the subject of dictionaries for translation between languages and dictionaries fully in other languages like spanish which think is very large market if bought kindle for country that UNK spanish the software should be in spanish and at least spanish dictionary and an english spanish as for the rest comfort use aesthetics performance etc is excellent UNK 1 loving my kindle with all of my traveling having this has been great no longer have to go through my books to see which one want to pack and then have to drag it along have them on neat little kindle that is awesome you should get one if you dont have it yet my UNK and my UNK will all be getting on for christmas 1 UNK UNK en UNK me UNK que UNK UNK el precio UNK me UNK ya que tengo UNK libros en formato pdf pero UNK se UNK un UNK UNK el UNK que UNK UNK UNK al formato no UNK UNK lo UNK UNK ntilde que es me UNK les UNK todos eso si no UNK muchos best seller en UNK en formato word pdf kindle no les UNK comprar de amazon UNK se UNK UNK UNK ya UNK UNK al UNK pero en UNK es UNK 1 UNK ve got kindle thought and thought and thought about getting kindle and kept talking myself out of it and then my dad said do you want one of them for your birthday and jumped at the chance and it great ride the bus to work 30 minutes each way and use that time to read which never did before it so light and easy to take around easy to read on crowded bus getting books takes 20 seconds or less there lot to choose from they re cheaper and won have to have piles of books anymore get one you ll like it 1 awesome wonderful love it the only problem have it the kindle books are too expensive 1 love my new kindle made this purchase after sitting next to someone on the bus who is reading it while she is UNK on the bus and begins again as she sits as we were pulling into UNK UNK asked her how she liked it she loves hers asked about changing font sizes she is younger probably didn need to once got mine found loading reading material to be breeze and one of the first things did was increase the font size the second thing did was to UNK handy pocket in my UNK notebook holder for the kindle it is the UNK side of my new hardware 1 marvelous site and marvelous item it great product and great site really first was very surprised about how amazon site works from UNK europe and my package was delivered to my office in my hands in days it UNK was going to wait much more time but it was real present from the site and all who was involved in process about the kindle it wonderful it easy and compact as long as everything is on it place and comfortable to read UNK about ereader long time but in our country it very expensive you can not find anything for less than 350 summary the work of the site is beyond praise the work is done fast and UNK the reader is very nice good working and fond of it now enjoying reading it my advice to all it great deal at great place 0 don know kindle number would not connect to 3g network kindle number would not connect to 3g network kindle number has not arrived yet believe that kindles were set up for the wrong network believe that this should be good product which is the reason purchased it in the first place but still don have working kindle 1 excellent find the kindle to be just what needed one can order book in no time at all am awaiting books that will become available in this format its only matter of time before they all do find it easy on the eyes can read for hours on end without eye strain and the glare of light practically go every where with it so that time is never wasted for someone who reads two and three books at time its great as all the books are in one device bookmarked and ready to be read do however live in the UNK and find it bit of UNK to want to purchase UNK books only to see cannot due to the publisher not allowing latin america and the UNK to purchase these titles would like amazon to look into this as its my only let down right now however on the upside its must have by all you avid readers will say its the very best purchase have made in year thanks amazon for coming up with an easy device to read from the online pictures of the kindle give it no real justice as when its in your hands its ten times better in look 1 exceeded my expectations resisted buying kindle for quite awhile because really do love the feel of book in my hands but because both travel and read lot it was too cumbersome to take along more than one book at time so purchased the kindle latest generation downloaded lot of the free selections to try it out and found myself hooked on the ease of using the kindle it packed nicely in my purse and have been able to carry UNK of 30 books with me on my latest trip and also love the ease of downloading more books while on the road anywhere there is free wifi am able to shop for more books haven tried the music feature or the audio books feature but they are next on my to do list 1 best ereader simply the best ereader it is perfect for long time reading the screen shows you standard size book page very UNK for carrying transport and use strongly recomend this product to all people that like to read lot and dont have much space in their UNK and want to save lot of money love this kindle have more than UNK memory to hold your favorite books or even collections all in this small thin and perfect product hope this help you to start reading again if you stopped buying books because of their cost this is the UNK thanks lot 1 this thing is the future received this as an unexpected gift have only heard of these until now this thing is very very cool recommend the one with free 3g service so where ever you get cell phone signal you can access the web to download books newspapers mags and blogs when you purchase with your amazon account it comes ready to roll just turn it on and your info is in there yes you can read books on it and they are cheaper to download than to buy in the store but ve discovered whole new world of blogs there are hundreds of blogs on various topics you can subscribe to with free 14 day trial and they are only like 99 per month to subscribe if you subscribe to newspaper you can subscribe on your kindle and receive your paper overnight can sit on the UNK and read any newspaper form around the world at my fingertips it pretty amazing this thing is the future you can change the font size spacing of letters lines all that UNK you can make notes highlight clip articles etc and there couple of dictionaries built in so if you UNK across word that you want to look up just put the curser on it and press button and UNK it gives you the definition hate to end on disappointing note but it doesn have light but all of the pros outweigh this con sure there are special clip on lights you can buy that ll be my next purchase 1 add connection to library would like feature added to kindle where you could have books sent from local library to your kindle like the nook has 1 excellent the wireless on the 3g is fantastic have yet to wait longer than 30 seconds for download there is nice UNK of books on the store though would like to see few more from my more modern collection available so can replace them yes have already sent message to the publisher the battery life is so far extremely long it finally dropped down to half yesterday after nearly week of use and huge number of downloads the selection of public domain books is delightful and ve downloaded over 50 classics so far my main worry now is replacing my extensive paper library 1 awesome device poor transition the device itself is incredibly good it light it highly readable it responsive it has really good usability but if you had previous kindle and are upgrading you have to know that the transition experience is UNK you ll lose all your samples had 100 and you ll need hack to UNK your categories wasted an entire afternoon just getting my k3 to be in the same state as the k2 1 kindle comment happy with my kindle with one exception and that is the on off switch have found that tends to turn itself back on occasionally unfortunately have then lost my place that is the last page read am careful not to touch the switch so as make this happen other than that it is superb product is it something am doing wrong 1 the sweet spot of reading and why did not choose the ipad spent lot of time watching the ebook market since the first amazon kindle UNK out watched all the competition slowly UNK and the 2nd generation kindle come round the sony devices the nook etc this the 3rd generation now is the first device that seemed to have UNK to the point that was tempted to take serious look but at the same time was looking into this apple released the new ipad with what seemed to be serious reading capabilities more on that in bit we are also getting ready to move overseas and the UNK of shipping all our books was well simply out of the question so it seemed that time was right to take the plunge finally my UNK were simple for an ebook be able to create near copy of my current library at least the stuff that would want to have overseas be able to shop download and access books from anywhere have device that was UNK towards reading for several hours at UNK without eye strain and battery running out device that was not too big and heavy was simple to carry with me as paperback novel not overpriced for my needs the 3rd generation kindle 3g hits the sweet spot my friend and here is why and why did not pick the ipad with its many bells and whistles the ipad is simply put not reading device and is not intended to be if your goal is actually reading books on regular basis the ipad is not your device plain and simple have you ever tried to read book on laptop for more than half and hour it is the same kind of screen on the ipad folks the reading is not enjoyable and makes you miss physical book this is why the kindle is designed with an ink display you may think oh why is it such dull UNK screen and the ipad is soooo shiny two different UNK here one is an entertainment device the other reading device you have to sit down and really read something to appreciate the differences an ink display looks just like paper amazon selection of books beats apple hands down before choosing went and did searches of both ebook stores to see what the had time and again could not find books wanted in apple store am not looking for popular titles or the best sellers list and that seems to be apple focus right now that may change in the future but not enough to outweigh the other issues amazon free UNK downloads and free classics has been UNK treat for me it like christmas every time check the list the fact that can pay one time charge of 189 and get free 3g for life compared to the monthly UNK fees required by apple to access the 3g means that ipad and 3g together is just not possible plus the 3g ipad is much much more expensive yes you get what you pay for but if reading is your goal here the kindle is great deal free 3g come on people that rocks the ipad is like carrying small laptop around everywhere it fairly slim compared to such but after playing with one and trying to read on it it simply got too heavy the kindle is exactly like holding hard cover book perfect battery power is great on the kindle simply never need to worry about it plug it in maybe once week when think about it just make sure to turn of wireless when not using it and it will last all week ipad is like laptop you need to plug it in every night and if your using it for long better go find that plug and an outlet so bottom line when it comes to reading the kindle is the perfect device the sony nook and others come close but in strict comparisons to other ink devices they lack the total package if you simply want an entertainment device and don read much one sitting and have some money to burn the ipad may be good choice on side note at time of this writing nook has released an lcd based color screen reader feel this is huge mistake and was purely marketing decision by to look more like an ipad but it has the same failure it hurts your freaking eyes after 30 minutes of serious reading fail if you want to actually enjoy reading books and have your library with you anywhere at your fingertips the kindle is it it has exceeded my expectations and look forward now to the UNK of color ink devices 1 great device software could be improved the kindle is beautiful device it light the pages turn fast the contrast of the text is amazing there are very little negative points to find if one then it is the placement of the page back and forward button sometimes press the one or the other while reading it not big thing however the most annoying thing find with the kindle lies in the software you can add books to collections when the kindle is UNK as usb drive that means that you have to add books to collections using the kindle interface which is very slow and tedious at least using UNK in the ebooks as collections would have helped lot now have about 50 books in one list find the book you re reading is not easy the only way to see if you ve started book is to look at the progress UNK in the list sure that can be solved more elegant even with these points of criticism really enjoy reading books on the kindle oh yeah you need the cover with the kindle the extra hold and the light really makes the kindle perfect 1 easy read got this as gift and am really enjoying it initially thought rather be holding book as usual however adapted quickly and really enjoy my kindle the font sizing option is real plus 1 better than expected the new kindle is definitely better than expected reading is easy and fast the screen contrast is far better than nook navigation is snap and downloading books is almost too easy on my exercise UNK the book UNK is little far away but the kindle allows me to enlarge the font to comfortable size actually UNK more with the kindle the only downside is that my wife is jealous so ll probably have to buy another one to ensure my UNK UNK 1 awesome reader highly recommend purchased newest generation of the inch amazon kindle 3g wifi recently previously owned the inch kindle love the new lighter and thinner design with nice screen that has better contrast very much appreciate the fact that can adjust the size and type of font to my liking the way controller is easy to use the battery life is improved but always try to keep it fully charged so that am never caught without enough of charge it is convenient that you can charge the kindle in ways wall charge in the car or through your computer it is very convenient that you can select and get books quickly with the whispernet technology am happy that it now can store up to 500 books this allows me to select as many books as like without having to delete them also they can be archived at amazon thus if delete book can always re download it again am very excited and happy that can now UNK my books into separate collections this allows me to find the book want quickly and easily the built in pdf reader is very convenient it allows me the ability to transfer my pdf documents to the kindle from my computer via the usb cord and carry them around so that may read them on the go it also has the ability to read and allow you to edit text documents have used the browser UNK though have found it to be good but not great one of the things like best is the ability to password protect my device would highly recommend this product to anyone who is an avid reader and wants to carry their book collection with them 1 UNK to pre UNK am UNK years old now and has been an avid reader since had UNK to read however my eyes got very dim and the kindle is UNK to me with it UNK font size and it light UNK had start to UNK my library of UNK books in kindle also bought an ipad to read UNK books and college text books 1 well executed kindle is UNK the best reader out there UNK light weight it small enough to fit into almost anything but your pants pocket and it big enough that you don need to page UNK holding it in your hand it feels like holding paperback or perhaps UNK want to know what it like take 10 UNK of UNK paper stacked together and fold them in half just like that the contrast is just right little more contrast and would be looking for way to turn the contrast down battery holds up to the claim of weeks of service from single charge connection to our home wi fi was easy as pie amazon delivered quality device to market but give it only stars because it missing three key things as are most readers in UNK order backlight touch screen scrolling if you re an iphone user you just won stop UNK easier way to load and read personal pdf and doc files the current method is too hard it worth the price we would buy it again and probably will 1 muy buena compra UNK con las UNK que te UNK UNK de UNK aacute UNK muy buena calidad la UNK oacute de los UNK es UNK muy UNK aacute til con las UNK para UNK por internet la uacute UNK que me UNK iacute UNK ser iacute si comprarlo con 3g no UNK eacute es UNK UNK el UNK calibre para UNK al aacute UNK 1 kindle reading device really like the new kindle reading device its easy to use and read light weight easy to take anywhere 1 kindle purchased this item because have hard time seeing print in other books am so pleased with the kindle because can read again with no problems there is no glare on the screen when sitting in direct sunlight which was very surprising to me can make the font big so that can see all the words it is also very easy to use although it did take me some time to get the hang of it about an hour would recommend the kindle to everyone especially if have have hard time seeing print in regular books this was the best birthday present have ever received am very happy with my kindle 0 can get connected to wifi we bought the kindle which is supposed to come pre registered in your name if you have an amazon account we bought it though our on line account but it wasn pre registered in our account name we have tried numerous times to UNK it with our account name but the kindle will not accept it month later we re still trying don expect much help from the folks at amazon sure this is one of very few instances where it not pre registered but there are no UNK for the problem to date good luck with yours 1 great had problems with the wi fi model couldn find hot spot re ordered with wireless no problems from the get go performed as advertised downloads in seconds easy to use fun UNK through the kindle book store reading samples then buying my choices unexpected delight were the free word games available good purchase 1 kindle wi fi this is my first kindle purchase love it it is easy to use and it is so nice having my entire book collection in such small device would have liked to give this stars but only gave stars because have had some issues with the kindle not wanting to turn on and just doing some UNK things one time it kept opening the same book no matter which book tried to open and few times all my collections had set up disappeared and had to UNK them sure after few more software upgrades amazon will get all the glitches worked out now that have it can imagine living without it 1 love the new kindle wasn sure about purchasing this type of product now don know how did without one if you like to read or play games it great when you need another book you can have it in matter of seconds using the kindle store when compare it to other brands on the market that are used by friends and relatives everyone likes my kindle the best the battery last very long before it needs to be recharged took it on trip to las UNK and read the whole plane ride there back and at the hotel without needed to recharge 1 love it bought the kindle 3g after debating for while the thing that made up my mind was when fell asleep while reading in bed and found myself UNK in the head by the hardcover was reading ll make it simple and start with the cons there are none won list all the pros just few find important and useful battery short charge time very long battery life 3g wireless it great being able to just download book instantly anywhere am very happy that decided on the 3g instead of just wifi get bored in the waiting room or during down time at work download reader digest and you re reading it within minute or two forget those UNK UNK magazines at the doctor office packaging it may seem silly but did appreciate the easy open packaging it was shipped in simple but secure no UNK UNK no tape kids toy companies please take note of this concept overall this truly is an amazing device highly recommend it to anyone who likes to read it may just make you love to read take it everywhere more likely to forget to put on my pants than am to forget to grab my kindle before got out the door 1 great reading great gizmo makes reading even more pleasurable only disappointment is in order to receive audible books one must have an expensive UNK that wasn noted in UNK when purchasing this item but it does everything it is supposed to do and is lightweight and easy to use love it 1 wi fi am happy with the product easy handling good display low weight long UNK since UNK 30 years ago from germany to UNK 1 wonderful option but disappointed in the price of books just got my kindle and it is wonderful device am dissapointed that could be getting some books cheaper in paperback than on kindle when looked at the options thought best sellers were 99 and now find that it costs more than that either didn review enough books or something else is weird it is wonderful way to receive books also very quick also got the cover with light and that gives me UNK that my kindle is protected and can read it in the dark 1 outstanding originally purchased the cheaper one and loved the ability to read clearly my only issue was don have wifi in my home and apparently not so readily available in my area immediately returned my original one and purchased the one with 3g it is pleasure to read on this adjusted the font little bigger than standard hardcover book and find that now have no eye strain and with the lighted cover can read anywhere want my original one was in grey and this one chose white think the grey would be more practical UNK of getting it UNK and with the grey one the page was more UNK all in all love it 1 reading on my kindle love this product am addicted to reading on my kindle my husband bought nook and is so UNK of my kindle have taken it our airplane and car trips and it really helps to pass the time away it is very light weight and for someone who is not that into technology it is very easy to navigate 1 the best reading device ever it weighs as much as book reads just like book without UNK your eyes and with excellent contrast and has very easy to use interface and has one of the best collections of ebooks available love my kindle without doubt the best investment ve made this year 1 enjoying UNK great device some lack of useful navigation among many documents email wifi sync works great and with UNK and UNK performs just amazing 1 love it we have the kindle as well as an ipad and to the UNK of my husband keep the kindle and toss the ipad if we had to choose it so much easier to read especially in sunlight and the battery life can be beat it very easy to use we barely needed the instruction manual highly recommend the kindle to anyone who loves to read 1 better than expected just love my kindle it is even better than expected the screen is so clear and find read longer with much less eye strain it was very reasonably priced and know will get many years of enjoyment out of it highly recommend kindle 1 love my kindle love my kindle it is easy to use and easy to read the best book on the market 1 kindle wireless UNK like my kindle but sometimes it freezes and it takes forever to come back to life 1 the most awesome device ever love my kindle love my kindle spend hours walking and reading spend hours sitting and reading spend hours driving and reading buy one it will make you happy and as side benefit dogs will not UNK you while you are walking with it 1 UNK this kindle is fantastic it is easy to use and learn books appear in few seconds think of nothing would improve on this device recommend this for any reader 1 kindle 3g wireless am very pleased with the kindle reader device itself it is light UNK and to easy read with the improved print contrast and adjustable print size even in low light conditions books down load quickly via the kindle the kindle page is very well organized for UNK of single books for larger searches find use my computer am very disappointed in the number of kindle books not available in canada for example in UNK UNK UNK series only books are available in book form through kindle of her earlier titles are not available though UNK when you are looking when read UNK in the UNK was looking forward to reading the first UNK book as context to it even though it was free download it was not available in canada which found very frustrating found that other series had some similar problems friend warned me about this problem and UNK different type of book device as she had less issue with UNK books and could order from multiple sites would be happy if kindle could address this problem of UNK books thanks 1 love my kindle have been UNK after UNK replacement and my kindle has been great pleasure and comfort it light easy to hold while in bed or chair and takes me to wonderful worlds will love it after am UNK great for beach and traveling where go it goes mary UNK 1 great product with user experience in mind great product great pricing every single click is so user friendly perfect for reading books newspaper or magazines won get eye UNK when reading on it unlike ipad ipad is good for multimedia content but if you want to do some serious reading this is the device you ll need ipad kindle is totally different product don think anyone can kill another for kindle to stay UNK it always content content content amazon should add more contents for overseas users begin with major local newspapers this is kindle strength over ipad scrolling through newspapers on ipad can cause eyes UNK running words on screen very tired no need to wait for color kindle kindle is not for multimedia consumption 1 product good but like the kindle for the convenience of taking books along with me on vacation waiting in doctors UNK or just waiting in general however most of the books would like to purchase are more expensive than offered by book club to which UNK and which does not charge for shipping the books are much too expensive and will probably not be buying too many of them 1 what would it take to get you to start reading well this would be it we bought both the wifi and the dx my wife loves the and love the dx we both tired each for week before deciding would prefer to have the but technical manuals are displayed much better and easier to read and understand on the dx have never been person that reads but the kindle makes it fun and UNK you into reading we have read review after review on all of the ebook readers and even went to best buy to get hands on UNK with the sony nook and kindle we without hesitation decided to go with the kindle one thing that my wife loves is when UNK up in bed she can read without having to sit up and turn the pages she can lie on her side and just read another thing that she pointed out was when you are reading 400 page novel and you are starting out or finishing you don have the problem of having to keep the book open with your hands that can get pain full overall the kindle makes reading fun 0 UNK was reluctant to purchase and use an reader because love the feel of book noticed however that the prices were 99 decent value so ordered kindle before even received the kindle the prices UNK up so much that it is now cheaper to order hard paper backs cheaper from sites such as half com and UNK through amazon unless you respond to this review and tell me that you will UNK the UNK price increase and quickly UNK back to 99 will definitely be returning the kindle promptly UNK hope the latest generation of readers will not UNK this UNK UNK 1 gift for techno UNK senior purchased this kindle for my techno UNK 85 year old mother once she learned how to increase the font size and turn the page she was off and running during our latest conversation she informed me that this was the best gift have ever given her plan on giving her gift UNK for every major UNK what great product for those UNK for UNK UNK hardback book is difficult it is whole library in the palm of her hand oh yes bought one for me too her UNK year old daughter 1 kindle is awesome would highly recommend this product the kindle is perfect size and the screen is so clear it is so much better than having to carry around books the only UNK thing about the kindle is that it is so easy to buy books can see myself spending lot of money on buying books since it is just few clicks away what don like about it is that the next previous page button on the sides are so sensitive so often find myself accidentally hitting the buttons also don like the navigation button it is so small my fingers always have problem using it 1 love love love my new kindle ok have had it about week now and after getting familiar with it have to say really do love this little machine easy to read no eyestrain also bought the lighted leather cover amazing great free books as well as low priced new releases my kids ages 11 and love the free games we have downloaded onto it have UNK out how to get my music on there as well this little gadget makes life UNK UNK thanks amazon 1 UNK kindle easy to download great product yet books too pricey when paperback books cost less choice is no brainer 1 kindle excellent don believe will ever buy another paperback book the ability to change font size is awesome UNK 1 why did wait so long when the kindle was first UNK thought people were crazy to buy one when the kindle was introduced and saw it was six inch screen the reviews were great and the price was right said okay time to order one ordered the kindle wireless wi fi after calling customer service and being assured could transfer data via my computer which have done and it is easy as there are great directions to follow thank you for making it easy ordered it on saturday evening received it on tuesday morning and began downloading books the package was so easy to open and everything you need to get started was right there downloaded try me for couple books when tried one and came to the end UNK on to amazon and downloaded the entire book took less than minute and returned to reading the book am an avid reader and will now buy my books from the kindle shop love the fact that everything is easy to use and all the directions in the user guide are user friendly adjusting the font size can even be done when you are UNK and when your reader is in sleep mode picture appears on the screen just as if it was real book it is so thin and light and to think something this small can hold so many books am soooo sorry did not order kindle when broke my arm it would have made reading so much easier am now kindle fan forever do not hesitate on ordering one have also seen amazon gift cards and when my family asks what want for gift my answer will be an amazon gift all can say is wow this is great and yes am now one of the crazy ones 1 must for the travelling reader this is the most fabulous product and promptly delivered just love it it is easy to use and there are lots of great kindle books to buy for it some starting at 00 the screen is easy to read even for older eyes and it is comfortable to hold travel lot and can take many books with me because of the weight now can take up to 500 books in my handbag amazing 1 kindle for many UNK never thought that would love technology being when UNK from high school we did not have computers UNK or cell phones to think an UNK thinner than pencil would be able to hold thousands of books the number of books probably will never be able to read look forward one day to know that my granddaughter will be able to be UNK using my kindle and that she will enjoy thousands of more books than in her lifetime 1 kindle is the new it girl had heard of ereaders and thought that would not rush into purchasing one before there were plenty of reviews and all of the bugs were worked out having read the reviews thoroughly purchased the kindle 3g wireless reading device wi fi in the graphite am thrilled with the performance the readability very easy on the eyes can read without glasses the ease of use the music feature sound quality is surprisingly good and the customer service has been awesome my hubby and were out of town and we needed to access google maps to find our way and had the kindle with me was able to easily access the web and get directions to my UNK neither of us have the smartphones to do this so this was perfect substitute am graduate student and this helps to UNK all of the journal articles have to keep can store them on my kindle and on an external hard drive did not get my cover or my light from amazon too pricey did get them both off of ebay and they were both high quality and very reasonably priced did not get the UNK did not think it was good deal for only one replacement learned lot about working my kindle from reading the reviews of others so it was very easy for me to navigate the kindle right out of the box 1 the best one for all who love read probably the best reader make nowadays kindle has huge library that is possible buy almost all regular books besides this with the 3g tool you can buy books in every place but the best thing in my opinion is the screen you get read for hours without your eyes get tired unlike computer screen kindle is very useful and nice gadget to all of who love read 1 great product great product love it very much 3g isn useful as much as thought though 1 awesome love this instead of having books around piling up everywhere the only downfall to the whole thing is there is no light on the kindle itself had to buy lighted leather cover to read at night even though have lamp beside my bed other than that its great 1 very nice object amazing item fast UNK the only two limitations ve found is that the epub format is not read and that the pdf documents are read as they are so you need to move UNK the screen 1 kindle 3g just love my kindle take it everywhere easy to read in bed easy to handle download books direct what more could one wish for 1 skin does kindle need skin or not was not too keen on my new skin for my kindle must say that the UNK gray had sense of power and strength all on its own UNK the skin little tricky you need patience but it does add sort of UNK ed look to an UNK object it looks UNK now but it is not at all necessary the final UNK it is that time of year is do your own UNK 1 UNK purchase could make writer and read all the time bought the latest kindle with wifi and 3g book person read for both my UNK and my pleasure probably about five books per week for one reason or another can even list how many wonderful benefits ve found with kindle first of all book junkie can have too many and will never get to read as many as wish to have so many at my fingertips literally is huge pleasure can flip between books back and forth can compare how an author UNK subjects UNK something whatever wish if missing title in an author series can find and order it in minutes get it delivered in seconds need books for research sometimes dozen or more for project writing about carrying those around is back breaking but necessary have arthritis also the UNK in my hands and fingers UNK holding and using the kindle is so much easier on my hands than even paperback eye strain is huge problem to my amazement kindle is UNK on my eyes than even regular book read at least few hours per day mostly on the kindle the battery is UNK efficient it seems to last for weeks although admit leave the wifi off unless making purchase just returned from UNK the world mystery fan UNK when packing suddenly found that didn have to make room for heavy books oh yes read even at book UNK and my carry on was very light with my kindle also didn have to limit the books took because of their weight when asked about my opinion on their further developing the 3g player honestly see no reason for amazon to bother apple has that UNK covered if person wants to plug into their music while they read they usually have an ipod already amazon would be wasting time in developing that feature in my opinion if amazon wants to work on anything on the kindle would UNK for their reading function also think that should be sold as separate kindle for its specific purchase kindle reader device that feature needs lot of work it sounds ridiculously robotic if needed it it would only UNK me as it is and one feature hope will be installed as soon as possible please include the original UNK information about book so far only worthless UNK UNK as an ebook is listed unless go online and find the book on amazon com you wouldn believe how important that information is to many many readers love the kindle 1 love my kindle it awesome love my kindle it awesome recommend buying some sort of case to keep it safe mine stays in my purse and goes everywhere with me so always have something to read when have spare time love how can turn the page from either side so can hold the kindle however is most comfortable at the moment have no complaints this is great product 1 whole library in the palm of your hand once upon time UNK discovered that after learning to read and wanting to share what he or she wrote UNK UNK type and the printing press soon the the printed word and books collection of words and or thoughts were shared by hundreds and then thousands of readers UNK shared everything from philosophy to UNK to UNK and fiction to UNK and travel UNK could now go any where experience the UNK UNK and UNK UNK of their fellow human UNK books and libraries became the UNK of all UNK UNK UNK UNK and defeats kindle as it stands today the UNK UNK of library and book one can have thousands of books at their command in hand held devise about the size of the old dime store ten cent novel you may call up any of the thousands of books connected and stored directly on your kindle or in your online personal library of course that doesn count the UNK number of printed matter book newspaper magazine UNK UNK the library of UNK even more exciting is the ability to download the thousands of books and other printed material which fall under the UNK of public domain and offered for free amazon also provides UNK of UNK for books and publications that range from 99 cents to the major across the board UNK of best sellers you can down load through your computer or if you have the wifi version you can download directly to your kindle strongly suggest you UNK this first UNK of the 21 century as soon as possible it is well worth your while 1 so close to stars so my lovely husband purchased the kindle latest gen for me for my UNK which was on 10 it hasn been month yet and the letters are rubbing off its such minor detail but such an eye sore overall it is great product 1 buy one was UNK as to whether could make the leap from printed books to kindle but was pleasantly surprised now have the flexibility to read what want when want to my access to new books no longer depends on my ability to get to the book store and whether the book is in stock and the amount of free books available is outstanding kindle has UNK the amount of reading do it is one of the best investments ve made in while 1 kindle 3g wifi thought about buying kindle early on but never made the purchase when this latest generation came out read review and was impressed still didn buy the kindle giving myself cool down period really love the feel of holding book and turning the pages so wasn sure would really want kindle but after my cool down period realized still wanted to try it out and now glad purchased it stuff it in my backpack and pull it out while in my UNK to and from work also purchased the leather lighted cover and it so small and convenient it ll fit in your purse no problem consider myself novice when it comes to computers and the like but this kindle is so user friendly the downloads are simple and navigating the menus are breeze it still so new for me that haven even UNK the surface as far as it versatility specifically downloading music UNK the audio function downloading UNK or favorite magazines if you re thinking about purchasing this latest generation kindle do it give yourself cool down period like did if you re still unsure the best part no more shelf space needed for storing books drive my husband crazy with all my books collecting on the shelf but not anymore sure not all titles are available on kindle but it still cut down the amount of books taking up shelf space thanks amazon 1 kindle love love love my kindle can imagine ever going back to reading paper books can download books instantaneously and be reading them in seconds would highly recommend this for every person who loves to read 1 great gift my wife loves it bought this for my wife on her UNK since my wife reads lot this was the very best gift could ever get her she takes it everywhere 0 can not read library books purchased this device as gift for someone who reads about books week from the library the kindle will not let you download ebooks from library website the only books you can access seem to be from amazon com other than that it is really nice way to read books if you could only download library books pay more for it 1 kindle saved the day received my kindle on the UNK of september and was so happy immediately downloaded bunch of classics the UNK pride prejudice etc but the most impressive part of my new kindle was the experimental web browser upon returning home on the night received it we found the power had been out for the previous 12 hours it ended up being out for over 24 was UNK trying to figure out how to let my children know that we had arrived home safely our telephone was UNK on the internet and we have no cell phones fortunately the experimental facebook application on my kindle allowed me to post status saying the power was out but we arrived home safely my children were happy knowing wasn UNK out of touch even though the power was out thank you amazon kindle now thinking of purchasing the lighted cover for night reading the UNK in bright daylight is impressive and it lightweight easy to handle and very easy on the eyes purchased the white kindle and am so very happy with it wish had done this much sooner UNK UNK 1 my kindle great tool for those who love to read have used this for about weeks and enjoy its feel for reading better than an actual book easy to read contrast and convenient to travel with because of its size don have the g3 model but don feel needed that feature to enjoy it 1 my first ebook reader this is my first ebook reader and am highly impressed with the quality of the display never expected it to be so good my reading shot up with the kindle it is light and easy to hold UNK would have liked bit more place to hold on the sides gave stars instead of because it UNK on me once and also the wifi stopped working randomly once hard reset fixed both the problems which UNK have come in the first place 139 is very sweet spot and jumped on it the minute saw this price would definitely recommend this product 1 kindle cord the outlet plug that connects the usb cord to the kindle was defective was told this was known issue it has been replaced with working plug you might want to increase your quality control on these UNK 1 excellent reader this is my first reader wanted to wait until this newer model was available works great and very intuitive to use will definitely cut down on having books all around the house love the portability have already taken it on business trip while flying and it takes up so little space and yet the display is very easy to read 1 great for UNK space is definitely an issue on ship and my kindle allows me to have ton of books without taking up any space the international 3g is necessity in foreign UNK and definitely selling point ve been able to purchase and download books in several countries even in areas on amazon map that show spotty coverage it usually takes few minutes per book but it works also have the leather cover with built in light and highly recommend it read every day and use the light all the time went about three weeks without charging and still had juice left since receiving my kindle in september three others have purchased one and several more are now thinking of getting one or upgrading their older kindle this is great gift for your UNK or for yourself absolutely love mine note your kindle is supposed to arrive registered but none of UNK came that way if you purchase this UNK you will have to wait until you hit port and can access 3g or wifi for the initial registration UNK update UNK for registering kindle without plugging into the network go to manage your kindle click register new kindle enter serial number click register new kindle using the transfer via computer option download your books burn them to cd upload books from cd using your personal computer this worked for out of new kindles happy reading 1 love my kindle purchased my kindle after lot of research into the available ereaders UNK absolutely love my kindle read every day and thought would miss the feel of book and also had some concerns about reading out in bright sunlight even though all the UNK say its suitable quite often when you receive product following these UNK it is quite the UNK have read in bright sunlight with absolutely not problem at all in dull light UNK light and normal light and have not once had problem in fact find the font much easier to read than the current book was reading the other thing absolutely love is the downloading of books from the amazon site to my reader in UNK UNK have my selected book ready to go even living in semi rural area on UNK south coast the prices are extremely UNK as well as having loads of free books and with the ease of receiving my books it just fantastic have recommended the kindle to several of my friends who are UNK the ereaders and will continue to do so wow thank you amazon 1 kindle this is an exceptional product really like the way that you can change the font to bigger letters am lost without it now 1 the UNK of convience since getting my kindle have read more and enjoyed it more sometimes wear my glasses and sometimes increase the print size and read without glasses it great to read outdoors too in that the glare of the sun is not factor with the kindle the UNK is great thing as well after all don know every word in the english language it also big conversation UNK on UNK are UNK by the kindle and think it computer and often ask how it works then the conversation begins love my kindle 1 great invention the kindle has been awesome did alot of research before purchasing the kindle and found it to be the most comprehensive reader on the market my research did not disappoint me have been very happy with my kindle it is lightweight and slim for my frequent UNK travel and allows me to get more reading material when am UNK in the airport and run out of things to read recently used my kindle UNK and did not have any trouble reading the screen the ink is fantastic the only downside which is true of all readers is that you can use them on airplane until after 10 000 feet so you have to turn it off when they close the UNK didn think about this ahead of time but would have still gotten the kindle even if had considered this angle the voice to text function needs improvement it sounds like gps voice and does not really sound like an UNK 0 kindle customer service is horrible have had my 2nd generation kindle for approximately years have loved every minute of it until this morning when turned it on the screen was completely unreadable and then frozen plugged it in thinking and hoping that perhaps the battery was to blame hours later went through the trouble UNK section of kindle support then called customer service and was ultimately connected to someone who barely spoke english and was of no help at all was told that no one could tell me what went wrong with the device it was never dropped and is always kept in case was simply told that could buy new one at full price realize that am outside the warranty however with all the competition out there now one would think amazon would be more UNK have also purchased additional kindles for family members since the purchase of mine one would think amazon would do everything in their power to keep what was once satisfied customer asked to speak to manager and was left on hold for over 20 minutes it would also be nice to know if 18 months is the average life of 2nd generation kindle was completely UNK with kindle support found it very UNK because amazon had been so excellent in all other aspects until today 1 am in love with my kindle have never had an reading device before so this is new experience for me and am loving it the k3 is slim light and the screen is just amazing to read looks just like book page bought the wi fi kindle and it has low signal reception which might be not so good but bought it to keep all my UNK readings in one place and to read them on my way to work so for the original purpose had in mind it works wonderfully totally recommend it but just take into consideration that if internet is important to you you might better consider the 3g wi fi kindle 1 great little reader have had for about month didn get the 3g and really don miss it the wireless is bit limited get about the distance of laptop but the connection really UNK like being able to email my kindle content using various formats they don talk much about that but was UNK UNK to find that could email pdf tech manuals to the kindle doc work fine UNK sometimes problem is that some content doesn have proper UNK to navigate but it reader able to download some UNK content using UNK format mobipocket sadly the folks who convert UNK magazines content to said UNK take months to do so moving along refresh time is great much better than previous kindles and much much better than nook the web browser does work but without mouse it gets kind of tedious have enjoyed the many free books available basically the gutenberg free press selection UNK love the dictionary lookup nice when reading classics not too crazy about the underlining would be nice to be able to link back for the my annotations collections the mp3 player is simple enough but no menu audible books at least gives you menu the text to voice reader is cool probably useful for sight UNK or bedtime stories my theory could loose have stolen kindles before it would count as an ipad and have basically the same features as reader which is why most people know bought the ipad in the first place kindle over nook if you like to read buy one 1 for UNK our house is UNK with books so my husband bought me the kindle for our anniversary it took me an hour to set it up read directions to see what did wrong it probably should have taken 10 minutes as book lover UNK that wouldn like this thing so to give it fair chance ordered page turner by ken UNK the first few pages drove me crazy but by chapter was UNK in the story and found the kindle worked like charm no problems think love this thing and it is saving us fortune in book shelves ll still use books but what great addition the cover makes it feel right don think be comfortable just holding kindle also it very easy to order book on the wifi which can lead one to spend money much faster than one planned turn the wifi off when don need it and ve read two books without needing to charge the kindle if you re book junkie don be afraid to try this it great 1 much better than expected the kindle2 turned out to be much better than expected the ability to search the amazon ebook collection using 3g was very convenient and enjoyable the ease of buying books and the speed of the download made browsing the amazon collection breeze the idea of sampling the text of book before deciding whether it was the book you re looking for is an excellent idea was only slightly dissapointed with the UNK of the illustrations small and monochrome this sometimes made them difficult to read even when UNK but the overall impression of the kindle2 is its great buy and will provide me with many hours of enjoyable reading cheers UNK 1 love it it is great for taking along where space is at premium you can have several books to choose from without the UNK of the books recommend this product 1 fun at your fingertips asked for this for my birthday now spend lot of time in comfortable chair with my favorite device gone are the days when would buy book and now don have to go to the library there are enough free books to keep me interested and like that you can sample the book the kindle is even better than thought it would be my question is why doesn everyone have one 1 convenient the convenience is amazing downloading is instantaneous reading is very easy compact and easy to carry 1 greatest invention this is one of the best electronic gadgets ever bought if you love to read and are tired of having books all over this is for you only thing is have to travel 11 miles away for wifi if don want to get book through my computer 1 my kindle purchase this was special present for special person it is wonderful product easy to use light to carry and beautifully presented the cover with it built in light is elegant and fit for purpose the person presented with the kindle cannot believe how easy it is to use and read without eyestrain it is indeed compact private library on the move 1 first kindle love my kindle love to read and spend UNK to hours day reading the battery last UNK week the kindle is much easier to put in my purse and take with me and much lighter than book best money ever spent 1 kindle wifi it took several weeks to actually receive my new kindle wifi and it was worth the wait it is super easy to set up and use had one UNK in the UNK when it froze up on me but the owners manual told me how to get through it and it has not happened since it is also synced with all my books so can read them on my kindle or on my iphone app and never lose my place plus when you turn off the wifi feature the battery will last really long time have not charged it since received it about month ago and the battery is still almost full recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading especially if you read more than one book depending on mood do always have book on hand now and never loose my place 1 my portable bookcase am business student and have to carry lots of heavy books around this little guy helps me to reduce the weight of my bag so far so good one improvement wish amazon can do is the UNK file format kindle now supports many formats but the format without been converted and widely used that kindle can read directly is pdf file well sounds not bad but you must change the font size at least to UNK before you put the pdf file to kindle otherwise the words are really small on the screen and don think you will like to use the UNK function to read one page of book wide and long page besides have to read couple of other materials in other languages kindle has some problems in displaying them for the title part for example you might read the title as the shape of square square square anyway hope amazon came out patch for that overall it great product to have really neat 1 quibbles for non us UNK travelers just received my kindle and love love love it it is light easy to hold with one hand easy to read and easy to order kindle books perfect for traveling because it is so much less bulky and heavy than book however for non us UNK registration may be problem my advice for non us UNK who already have an amazon com account would be to register through the internet go to http www amazon com UNK and save yourself the frustration of trying to register via the kindle although when you order through your amazon com account it is supposed to be automatically registered to that account mine was not when tried to order my first book was informed that had to first register the kindle while attempting to register it no matter how hard tried could not change the united states part of the address to canada it also kept UNK to accept passwords including that of my amazon com account was eventually forced to phone for tech support very prompt but even then we must have spent the best part of an hour before successfully changing then resetting my amazon account also have UNK about the lack of any product description information regarding UNK it was only through review that learned that it can be used with UNK ranging from 100 UNK thank you reviewer so for those who travel lot or who live in the UNK for example it does not need converter to charge the battery it can be plugged into the local power supply through UNK adaptor or through computer however these are startup quibbles once had managed to register ordering was simple and my first book arrived instantly resisted getting an reader because love the UNK UNK texture of the paper but now am sure that will read more because ordering is so easy and fast it is so easy to hold and it will make great travel companion 1 great ebook reader my wife purchased the new kindle for me recently for my birthday ve had it couple of weeks and love it and it only 139 my only complaint is that the screen is not back lit like to read at night before going to sleep and have to turn on lamp to use the kindle also have an ipad which has back lit screen which is nice for reading in bed but it is much heavier than the kindle another awesome thing about the kindle is the battery life you can go for weeks between charges it great little ebook reader 1 love my kindle love my kindle love books and UNK the various ebooks and could not decide to switch from regular books finally my husband decided to buy one for my birthday love it it is easy to read still have lots of books and will reread many of them but will buy all new ones electronically from now on 0 not good for students if you buy kindle with hopes to be able to read your digital school books you will be disappointed kindle does not support the adobe drm so any password protected pdfs will not work the kindle also does not support formats such as epub so you will not be able to check books out from the library or buy specialized books form other UNK on top of that selling or sharing your purchased books is impossible the device is very sexy and easy to use the resolution is great and being able to download books from amazon is nice but remember you are locked into amazons store and their format because of these issues considering returning the kindle and looking at other options not being able to use it for study is deal breaker 1 wow very impressed by this device my first reader and it does everything want fast light easy on the eyes etc the mini apps are nice bonus too can say enough good things about it 1 kindle have used my kindle for two weeks love it it only takes short time to get books today used it in the classroom for student to listen and follow the UNK letter 1 my fifth and so far best kindle how can two reader UNK need kindles you ask UNK the first generation kindle and it UNK me with etch sketch UNK screen that wasn quite legible my bad two of my second generation kindles stopped taking charge one was out of warranty one was still covered the UNK usb connector is pretty fragile be careful plugging and UNK especially since it hard to tell which end is up replaced the out of warranty UNK with wifi 3g somewhat better controls than the UNK and great battery life the network setup was very easy just the name of the network and the password haven tried it at starbucks yet but it probably automatic or close to it when there no password got the extended warranty learned from the UNK that you can really get these repaired even though they will probably be UNK again by the time they need it if you do need to return it amazon service is great few minutes on the phone next day delivery print it yourself return shipping 1 missing pdf view format feature just got my new 3g kindle today great product with the exception that it does not have an option to format pdf files to fit the screen in readable font size so you wind up scrolling the page over and back to read line hopefully there is fix coming out for that it too great product to leave this UNK if you give us the capability to import other documents they need to be viewed just like the ebooks looking forward to fix soon 1 even better than kindle just upgraded from kindle and like the new one lot the controls are better and quieter less effort means less carpal tunnel also much better browser support and now it fits in my purse 1 excellent reader pros looks good superb screen high resolution nice keyboard nice text to speech slim and robust cons UNK the formatting of the pdf bad when in landscape mode buggy pdf reader difficult to type international letters UNK UNK 1 love my kindle love the kindle why did they go to wifi though the whispernet worked fine 1 great received the kindle as birthday gift from my husband who UNK thought it would help me with school love the ease of the unit it was easy to start and everything you need is right there which makes me love it even more the college am UNK even has lesson downloads just for the kindle also love that can use my pdf files from school on the kindle this is the best reader ever thank you amazon 1 while not perfection quite nice not bothered by flicker while changing pages or even slowness compared to computer it does look like amazon really UNK to feedback so here is my UNK opinion if you care well my biggest gripe is the brightness of the screen it not anywhere near as bright as paper and requires bright direct light to read comfortably semi dim room with lamp light UNK off the wall or even outside on sunny day sitting in shade that would be more than ok for reading paper book will have you UNK with this in hand making the background more reflective must be very difficult thing to achieve as sure amazon would have already done that couple of suggestions for future versions don feel the need for such wide holding margins UNK we have no problem with finger UNK text while reading paper book it wouldn be here either if you could make the reading screen bit larger UNK the UNK and an UNK huge keyboard if this thing is all about reading screen is all that really matters and you could easily fit inch screen in there without increasing overall size one bit oh and great job on page flip buttons couldn be better all the controls and UNK on the bottom when holding with one hand UNK have the UNK finger do most of the weight support and with all that stuff going on there it rather rough ride for the little guy maybe all those buttons UNK should go on top or side of the device but then again maybe it just me would also suggest file structure like this when connected to computer if you make folder and put documents in it it should create collection based on the folder name and auto add documents you put in it to that collection by itself well didn mean to come across negative kindle is still the best thing to come around since printed books as far as reading on the go is concerned it keeper and glad to have it 1 wow the kindle is spectacular object it is very comfortable it not tired eyes it like to read real book it is very light you can take it to go everywhere the battery is UNK it really tough month with the wi fi UNK it is easily to customize UNK tried just reading books have not tried newspapers or blogs 1 kindle 3g great investment have been very pleased the only thing that was remotely disappointed about is that it doesn come with light 1 just amazing received my kindle just few days ago and all can say is that it is amazing 1 love my kindle bought my kindle in UNK 2010 loved it so much that bought one for my friend for her birthday and are also planning to buy one for my hubby for christmas 1 love my kindle love my kindle if lost it or broke it would immediately buy another cannot imagine doing without it now just wish that had bought it earlier than did 1 why did wait so long to buy kindle so easy to use light weight and after adjusting the font size don need reading glasses love the matte non reflective screen downloading books is snap 1 awesome product awesome product would make great present especially for someone who travels and does not have time to go to bookstore love that it loads new book anywhere in just few minutes hold charge for week or more if your reader this is for you 1 makes me read more used to read lot of books but haven read much in the last few years then purchased the kindle really like it back to reading again don think will ever go back to hard cover or paper back books again bought it strictly for reading not the online features it has the battery lasts quite long time about one month couldn get wireless connection in my house so purchased link 150 router online for 29 99 it was very easy to attach to my dsl modem desk top computer like the feature it has to make the print larger or smaller would like to see an actual page count which it doesn have cant figure out the page count it does have but that minor issue 1 you just keep getting better have had the kindle ii about UNK but ordered the 3g kindle because planning trip to central america wow the 3g is easier to read great screen easier to hold lighter and the back is UNK and the controls are in all the right places loved my kindle ii but the 3g is even better not one to write reviews but felt had to let you know 1 fantastic choice for me wow have been pleasantly surprised by how much love this reader never owned one before so was hesitant in getting one being able to get on the computer and get book with one click has been great have had some late night reading UNK since getting this device love the fact that you can adjust the font size what great feature especially for these eyes the screen is easy to read my year old grandson loves this thing so know what he will be getting for christmas from me anyway am not technical person so cannot offer technical review about the kindle however can tell you that it is great reading device and you won be disappointed if you purchase this one 1 love the kindle got the 139 00 kindle and love it get the books that want when want them instantly play games on it look up definitions and much more still have alot of room on it for other things but too busy to spend hours playing with it but well worth the price everyone at work UNK about it and where they can get one 1 love it UNK love it ve had my kindle for three days now and cannot put it down this little reader has so many different features and new things UNK about it every second like said ve only had the kindle for three days but in that three days have read two and half books don know how am able to UNK through books faster then usual maybe it the fact that you only see percentage UNK at the bottom maybe it how easy the screen is on your eyes don know love to read ever sense was three years old ve always had book by my side and that hasn changed student at the university of north UNK and this kindle will never leave my side going for teaching and literature so this kindle will come in very handy over the next couple years also love the fact that it saves where you were basically virtual book mark one function ve found is kinda fun to play around with is the text to speech option it very much stephen hawking UNK voice but it still fun if there are words that not 100 sure how to UNK especially in the world of UNK it isn perfect but it helps the charge time is incredible right out of the box plugged it in and by the time was done registering and putting few books on it was ready to go and with the wi fi turned off the battery will last for month the only time that the kindle uses it battery is when you turn the page or navigate throughout the kindle the only thing have found that don like about the kindle is the fact that the harry potter series isn available and that actually has nothing to do with the kindle but UNK publishers mon UNK let us read the wonderful world of potter on our kindles other than that love this kindle and will have one for the rest of my life 1 great product was so skeptical about purchasing kindle like regular books and highlighting passages and everything that goes along with the actual paper product and can read for very long on the computer without getting UNK headache but with the new price and the fact that want to read books when they first come out but lugging around hardback is pain decided to get the kindle with wi fi highly recommend it can read for hours without it UNK my eyes or head at all also love the UNK of being able to download any book that UNK my interest like that it has page turn buttons on both sides so can hold it different ways and it is still user friendly the only drawback for me is that if am anywhere indoors with less than UNK lighting it not the easiest thing to read and that the only time UNK for regular paper book if you get the lighted cover that should probably make up for it but alas went with the more basic cover still carry the kindle around with me at all times now and love the portability of whole library of books 1 can go to page numbers great for all the reasons often stated only wish we could go to specific page numbers not finding any illustrations maps are they used when books put in kindle format can access free books through kindle and not so easy on the computer either can understand there no UNK in providing free books but then why stress them if they are not easily readily available 1 yet another star rating just wish could say something negative so could sound little different from everyone else but can so won now with the price at 139 00 only wish could give kindle 10 star rating awesome 1 love it the kindle works just as advertised wifi downloads are fast account setup on my amazon account to allow book purchased is easy also have the kindle app for my itouch which syncs with the notes and bookmarks made in my kindle many older books are free or dollar or two so far every book wanted has been available battery life is excellent the screen is very easy on my eyes would recomend also buying the leather case which give the kindle more book like feel the only problem may be that books are too easy to buy have four new ones sitting on my kindle waiting for me 1 unlimited pleasure purchased my kindle so that could carry my book wherever go love it so all much australia has the UNK books in the world so am told and have paid top for good reading so amazon has provided me with wonderful option with the ebook thank you am now looking at how can purchase texts relevant to post graduate UNK UNK UNK studies in oz so that can carry my texts with me on my kindle thanks amazon for the many hours of enjoyment have had so far look forward to many more hours of reading for enjoyment and learning cheers UNK 1 book at my fingertips ve had my kindle several months now love the fact that can get book in minutes or less whenever want one the charge holds long time how long don know just figure every few weeks should plug it in do leave the wireless off when not downloading books also love the built in dictionary instant gratification the only way think this could be better is if they could figure out how to backlight it so one can read in the dark one of the best presents ve ever given myself 1 UNK UNK UNK iacute de mi kindle por eso le he UNK UNK mi UNK estoy muy UNK con la compra UNK UNK por este producto con UNK calidad UNK 1 the best we looked at all available choices and went with the kindle the best reader for the best price far better ability to read outdoors than any other very happy and pleased with huge selection of books available 1 happy with kindle bought my wife kindle for her birthday in UNK one of the previous generation and she was very happy with it she was not even that much of book reader but has become one in the UNK because the kindle makes it so easy so decided to take the plunge myself this fall and have to say that have been pretty impressed with it so far was an english major in college so like to read and have also been bit of UNK so was slightly resistant to an book reader because ve always liked the feel of book in my hand but the kindle makes getting book want very easy and reading on the kindle is certainly as easy as reading book if not easier 1 easy to use and simply awesome ve found the kindle very easy to use and great reading device kindle support is very helpful 1 my best friend just UNK my second kindle for my daughter she was taking mine this is the best gift ever got and she thinks the same the only other gift got that was this great were my kids ha ha seriously its great thing especially on the beach or plane always bring my best friend with me 1 what features wish kindle to have probably no big deal adding my no 5000 review in the UNK but still want to say first that kindle is really amazing device with it truly fantastic display reading is comfortable and easy but really miss two things better options for managing mp3 files not just play pause skip at least it be good if kindle lets picking mp3 files from different folders collections some books texts goes well with some with UNK maybe let us manage that guys as mp3 player is experimental maybe some update will come let hope and that minor of course but like to pick screen saver up to use cover of the book currently reading or any other love to except these new generation kindle is great device must have for those who loves to read or maybe not loves much but has to 1 great unit for the price for 139 00 this is one of the best UNK on the market the kindle is so light and thin my wife and love it also have the software installed on my droid so can get all the same books that we have already purchased the only downfall see is the fact that amazon has you tied to their market place that is no different than the itunes for your ipod also the price of some of the books seems high but again you are paying premium for having it in electronic format 1 love my kindle dropped and broke my k2 so decided to order new one loved my old kindle but like this one even better it is smaller and really prefer the black color over the white one from before ordered the wireless version to save few dollars no problem connecting where wireless is available while had to wait to get my new kindle realized how much loved it and how many more books read when have it thanks amazon 1 most satisfying tech purchase am reader ve been reading for UNK years that will give you an idea as to how old am and my mother read to me before that so obviously like and appreciate books and have even collected quite number of them over lifetime but in my opinion the kindle is the future of reading absolutely love the feature where can instantly learn the definition of word that am unsure of when reading book it is sometimes just too difficult and time consuming to put the book down and look up word in the dictionary so UNK too often of just UNK the meaning on the context of the sentence the other feature of the kindle that most appreciate is the fact that one can download and carry so many books in such light device sometimes read something heavy meaning difficult read and get tired of it at that point just switch over to something light and UNK don even have to move or if finish book that is series and want to keep going can just go to the kindle store and get the next book in the series within 60 seconds well could UNK UNK about the kindle and UNK some more but will stop with the comments certain kindle will continue to improve but happy oh one other thing bought one for my wife and downloaded kindle for the iphone the sync capability between all the devices is great 1 newest kindle and lighted cover this was sent by my daughter in response to her gift got the new kindle yesterday it awesome the cover has little led light that allows me to read it with the lights out the third version of the UNK is amazing super thin and really clear 0 it doesn work the kindle received UNK froze after few hours of use and couldn UNK it then had to go to all the trouble of sending it back at my cost live in south africa in order to get my money back the exchange rate is against me and add to that the cost of postage and ll end up paying 25 30 of what it cost me and having nothing to show for it am not happy about that at all 1 easy reading light and cheap device very good contrast the back plastic touch is somehow very natural do not buy it for reading pdf docs it rarely works with them the display is too small for it but in cases it would be enough in landscape mode you have to zoom on every page the positioning is also weak when zooming no dictionary in pdfs either conversions usually works with the amazon service and UNK but there small issues while amazon does not open its own format will not buy too many ebook from them to avoid UNK locking 0 my disappointment bought the kindle for couple of reasons recently broke my neck can lift heavy books so thought this would be the answer understood that could download books from my library to the kindle but after buying it found that amazon puts UNK on the palm beach UNK library downloading any books later than UNK if had bought sony or borders or actually anything but the kindle could have borrowed books from the library really like to return it get of the others 1 new generation kindle is awesome the 2nd generation kindle was really good reader but the latest generation is really quite awesome battery life is outstanding the screen and the new size and layout buttons everything is so nice to use there also much better selection of books available now for international australian users amazon need to keep working on this say can get about 50 of the books want on kindle but tend to read non fiction the latest fiction seems to have better availability love this device thank you amazon 1 won use my nook much anymore bought nook last december and enjoyed reading from it until received my new kindle few says ago there is no comparison my kindle wins in UNK can imagine anyone wanting nook unless they download books from the library or get them from other places am not interested in that so hello kindle UNK nook 1 kindle on vacation when learned that could access my mail on the kindle was able to keep contact with family and friends while on vacation in europe it was wonderful to be able to tell the family what we were doing one of the best features was the ability to access google and read about the places we were visiting and finding new places to explore was recommending kindle to everyone 0 very disappointed in display received my kindle today and was very much looking forward to it realized immediately that using it was going to be problem because of the lack of contrast between the background and text tried playing with the font but that didn help much guess in bright light it acceptable but most of my reading is in low light and need the contrast returning it amazon was very UNK and going back to using the kindle software on my iphone 1 UNK not to like the dictionary the 60 second books the entire amazon UNK also lots of free classics 1 this is the future right out of the box this thing is easy to use and pleasure with which to read the screen is easy on the eyes and the font can be sized to user preference not having to turn pages is real treat and lets you get into the book without distraction believe it or not think remove page turner would be useful and could perhaps be considered for future models bought this for my wife and thought we could share not so will be ordering myself one shortly if you own stock in barnes and noble or borders sell it 1 wonderful update hardly ever write reviews but ve been bothered by how many UNK poor reviews have come out for the kindle was the happy owner of kindle and decided to upgrade when read the reviews of the kindle it kind of UNK me that there are so many star reviews of people complaining that they had waited too long to have the kindle delivered review the product not the shopping experience as to the people who have UNK about their kindles being buggy can comment on their kindles though it appears to maybe UNK was still getting UNK out when the first ones were pushed out the door mine is wonderful use it nearly daily the screen is crisp and clear significantly better contrast than before battery life is better like the new way navigation button much more than on the kindle the browser is much better although there are some bugs that hopefully will be corrected the new update haven done it yet will wait for amazon to push it when they are ready that prevent me from checking facebook love having free 3g wireless that is huge reason why bought the kindle although don use it as much since do most of my reading at home where have wifi which is much fast btw really appreciate being able to have access to email google maps etc anywhere go thats huge for me and the reason why don have to pay for 30 month data plan on my phone that think is reason enough to get kindle glad to see that amazon is also starting to push out some games for the kindle scrabble is lot of fun and there are couple other free ones for download for the price you pay the kindle is heck of value the new kindle feels really good in the hand it is so light but the quality of the materials feels good lots of soft touch UNK would love it if you could change the font UNK kind of guy but thats not big deal to me after playing around with my new kindle for while sold my old one on ebay don miss it and glad that someone else will get chance to enjoy it hopefully the kindle will start getting some more star reviews because it really is star product it is an reader not an ipad and it was never intended to compete directly against it enjoy it for what it is remarkable device that makes reading easy and fun again and wonderful value in world where there are few thanks amazon 1 great purchase since purchasing the kindle have not been able to put it down have enjoyed reading for long time but he kindle has made it so very easy to enjoy reading at any time any where like it ease of operation and the various options that are available such as being able to change the font to the size that makes reading more enjoyable also like how quickly you can download books onto the kindle it has been real joy to own and would highly recommend it to anyone who really enjoys reading 1 if you love to read you ll love the kindle the most common thing hear from other readers when they see my kindle is just love the feel of real book hey understand that feel the same way there just something about holding book in your hands that feels right however once actually start reading ll take the kindle every time it easier to hold than book once you get used to it anyway it easier to turn the pages than in book you can set it down to read it without having to hold it open the way you would with book this is really convenient if you like to read while you eat ever come across character in book that that was introduced earlier but you can remember anything about them instead of trying to search through all of those previous pages just pull up the search tool and enter the character name there really is something special about having an actual book in your hands but if you truly love to read truly believe you ll love the kindle 1 new kindle UNK daylight resolution much easier to hold no false paging with new tabs still good deals on classic lit terrific convenience 1 designed for readers love good books and love books as UNK we were UNK down our UNK UNK out and UNK and my husband who more excited about technological devices than me suggested get kindle thought miss holding and reading an actual book since just love them and wanted to read not UNK with yet another device trying to get it to work and was concerned wouldn be able to enjoy books with great graphics thought about it long time my husband researched it and he got me this kindle and nice leather cover with the built in booklight for my birthday to make long story short absolutely love it can take books large or small with me in my purse anywhere it took me 15 minutes to learn how to use it and it doesn make any sounds UNK or UNK the display is wonderful the booklight works perfectly and the charger cord has self contained UNK plug so you can charge at the pc or directly into wall outlet using it is UNK hassle free the reading experience comes first and the device disappears for those UNK afraid to take the plunge unless the technology UNK to include color and graphics without losing its not there interface this won replace certain types of books the ones where graphics or paper feel are critical UNK some are online now but its UNK up slowly graphic novels art books UNK and UNK UNK etc lot of these can be viewed on pc now but getting them into the carry with you kindle stage is still ways off get kindle to read save your shelf space for books where UNK the UNK in the graphics paper and finish matter 1 keen kindle love the easy read after increasing font size downloads are quick and easy what will do with all the books on the shelf they are so 2008 1 really love this really love the kindle however have had it for month and it has locked up on me twice can get everything back but its very annoying otherwise it was great birthday gift from my hubby hope this helps 1 the video explaining the kindle convinced to buy one love it kept UNK the kindle until the price dropped below 200 after spending this past weekend trying to organize my very large book collection checked out the kindle video ordered one immediately when realized that didn need pc to buy and download books to it and that the 3g would allow me to download books from just about anywhere other countries there still the international restrictions on many of the british books harry potter but that also true of their availability as audio downloads my kindle arrived this past wednesday and ve already downloaded quite few of my favorite books bought the leather cover for it that has the built in light which is really cool while love downloading audiobooks from audible com lot of books aren and may never be available on audio but many of those same books are available for the kindle this is one of my best buys from amazon 1 excellent reader researched the readers on line extensively comparing the kindle and the nook along with an ipad which is more than just reader since my intent was to just use the reader as reader was sold on kindle clarity battery life and book selection have been using the kindle for month and it has delivered as promised the kindle is great UNK in all conditions with the exception of low light did purchase the book cover with the built in light which does an excellent job at lighting the reading material the unfortunate thing is that if you read in bed and sleep on the right side of the bed then you will be UNK your spouse which for me makes it useless for reading in bed as value my life if you plan on subscribing to magazine and newspapers than the ipad is the way to go however planned on using this completely for books and am not UNK in my selection other than the night reading solution read this regularly on planes hotel rooms and at home just not in bed the book search could be better and little more intuitive but it works and can find what want do like the ability to download samples especially when it is an author that am not familiar with also like that the books sync with my iphone as this allows me to continue reading where left off and works well in bed since it does not through off side light UNK my spouse 1 no glasses needed well first of all im an avid reader absolutely love books how they feel their smell and all the stories inside them so it took me long enough to buy kindle ended up getting one because there are lot of books that havent been able to get them where live and ended up getting te book instead and reading it in my laptop thought was going blind so thought about getting kindle to read those books think the kindle is amazing still read books but carry my kindle with me all the time and when travel or have to wait for someone or something can read the book want have lots of books in it and just carry this small and light device is even lighter than thought my mom loves to read too but as she needs reading glasses she gets tired of reading pretty fast now she has been reading in my kindle and as you can make the font larger she doesnt need her reading glasses UNK thrilled read about 40 books per year and think the kindle is one of the best purchases ive ever made still buy lot of books so if you love reading and have been thinking about getting one get it 1 the reader book have just finished reading my first full book on my kindle and have to say that it is nearly perfect UNK to the printed book its size is just about right and the thickness and weight are better than printed book this is especially true if the book you want is only available in hardback the screen resolution and contrast are extremely good and with the ability to set the font size it is readable in lower light than ink on paper the only downsides can see are that it less UNK than printed book and not every book that want to buy is available as an ebook yet in comparison to other ebook readers think that its only real competition is the nook the rest just don have the business model behind them that these two do selected the kindle because it was thinner lighter and had better screen 1 skeptical at first now believer when was first UNK about the topic of UNK kindle honestly thought when would ever have time enough justify paying that much for machine that did not think that would use now after two months of having this device cannot put it down had justified the purchase in probably two days especially after finding the free classics and UNK offers now have little over 100 books on my device most of them free but some of them paid for through the ease of having the kindle both through wi fi and 3g never thought that having UNK 000 books literally at the touch of few buttons could be so UNK and know what you are thinking now wow this guy needs to get out more maybe so but would still bring my kindle with me as to the reading quality of the kindle would have to say that it is spectacular the screen is perfect size the weight of the device is less than that of traditional sunday paper and the ease of the readability is phenomenal you can change the font size to your desired liking at anytime and there are some different fonts that you may also choose from that which you do not have the option when purchasing book know what you are thinking am not buying the kindle just for the option of different fonts of which would UNK maybe not but at least you have the option as to the device in itself the UNK in page changes is absolutely UNK the quickness of being able to go to the provided dictionary look up word and go back to the very same sentence in matter of minute without moving major UNK is UNK ergonomically friendly and barely UNK well guess that have been really caught off UNK when received device and everything worked out into my favor that does not always happen to me and now have that which is very exciting would and have recommended this to everybody that have came into contact with almost wishing that could UNK UNK but at the same time getting that feeling of giving this much needed accessory the advertising it needs to everyone that feel could benefit from it 1 great item am UNK patient and have had bad UNK in my back since UNK read over 50 books instead of UNK around big book to every doctor UNK or finding it at home have this small and very powerful electronic reader that all my friends want and there is no glare problem outside really also bought cover for it and it is very well made and well worth the money 1 my UNK book recieved the kindle for my birthday from my boyfriend UNK was ecstatic to finally UNK it in the mail pros the contrast in bright light or dim light is excellent haven had problem with it at all love the ability to create collections this allows me to sort out books that ive read books that havent read yet and my favorites along with games suggest to anyone to create few collections to UNK up the homepage from looking UNK lose myself in the kindle just like do in book which was worried about but im greatly UNK once even went to turn the page like an actual book was so lost in the story book prices are amazing ve bought numerous books on sale for UNK and alot under dollars and the most expensive book bought was 12 99 and that was new release otherwise all the other books were 99 or less thrilled with saving money with the kindle web browsing is faster than using my blackberry and pretty simple to navigate cons although the kindle is extremely light am person that can sit for long period of time reading book sometimes even or depending on the length still find my left wrist UNK after an extended period of time from holding the kindle up so once or twice in two or three hour period need to change holding positions but nothing major its better than an actual book tried the text to speech option today and it is horrible the voice is robotic and has no UNK to the reading with the text to speech being so robotic find it hard to follow the story let alone lose my self in the book will never use this feature ever wish at the bottom of the pages in book they would have the actual page numbers like to know how many pages are in the book and UNK like to know what page im on instead of page numbers there are location numbers which is complete UNK to me also wish the kindle noted automatically which books already finished and which have not it would take alot of remembering and collection adding out of the UNK with time recieved my kindle sometime before the UNK of september have noticed the page turns have gotten slower and ve also noticed that UNK the kindle from sleeping has slowed down and there is noticeable lag thought this might have been caused with me adding more and more books to the kindle but only have 20 some books on the kindle so no idea why this lag is getting more UNK this isn major problem only slight annoyance 1 simply awesome delivered in days to sydney australia at price 40 50 less than people paying to buy on ebay magic service by amazon open the box and connect to the pc and in seconds am up and running now at long last can access many books quickly UNK without the week shipping delays and high postage costs found it very easy to use and ideal for my purposes having good home network the wifi model is all need and when travelling if really need to get on line and buy book then can hope into UNK or UNK and that will be fine found reading with the kindle breeze easy adjustable fonts in need find seem to be reading faster with UNK comprehension maybe getting smaller UNK of information at time have found searching for purchases easier on my pc thats fine as everything simply UNK and have the best of both worlds yesterday sitting outside in the sun reading was easy no light problems like you get with your phone or other electronic gadgets in few weeks am travelling to UNK so did search and in seconds have at my figure tips travel guide wow this is so good if you are UNK or write this is magic tool to get your material quickly and efficiently one should remember this is electronic book reader and is brilliant for that job highly recommended 0 the crash my first kindle loved it right away but it keeps freezing on me just locks up while reading book not even pdf or anything difficult just regular book available from the kindle store you have to wait about all night for the UNK run down so send back ll try ipad 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi display 3g works globally latest generation have had my kindle for about two months now and on the whole am quite enjoying it it is in my opinion the best ereader currently on the market here are the main things that do and don like about my kindle the good the new graphite color is much better option than the white when tried out white k2 found the white very distracting and it highlighted the grey background of the screen the contrast is much better and you can see that the words are much sharper and the background lighter the books are all really cheap and the kindle bookstore is huge it is very portable and the new smaller size is really practical in the k2 you could really see that there was lot of extra space around the screen which is real waste the price is really good when you take look at what you get the borders kobo when got my k3 UNK around about the same as the k3 3g and was more expensive than the k3 wifi although did hear there was price cut since the release of the k3 no postage fees or waiting time takes up less space glad no longer have to hunt for space in my bookshelves every time that buy book the 3g is good and although do not like browsing for books on it it is good for buying books overseas especially when you are in non english speaking country where it can be hard to find english books never owned k2 only tried friend out but the pad seems better than the UNK and the response time in the main screen is very good compared to what saw of the k2 the dictionary highlighting note taking tools are all simply fantastic now find myself becoming frustrated when read as paper books that cannot do these things with such ease the bad still think that the contrast could be better have found that always have to have really good lighting when reading my kindle because the gray background can make it hard to see in dim lighting the text to speech is really in need of some improvements the story does not flow as well and it sometimes does not pause in the correct places such as after character UNK was bit disappointed at the weight of my k3 thought it would be lighter even though it is lighter than book it still feels awkward holding it in one hand the page turn buttons although easier to press and less noisy get pressed lot by accident because the are on the side the web browser is really annoying and it has frozen on me you have to move really slowly think some books could really be cheaper and wish amazon offered free books and classics with decent formatting overall would recommend getting kindle if you read lot and enjoy the UNK of an ereader would also recommend the 3g if you travel overseas and UNK quite frequently because have found it quite useful however did go to countries that had 3g think its usefulness would depend on the country you were visiting the amazon kindle is the best ereader out there in my opinion 1 kindle travel bought my kindle recently just in time for three week trip to europe it was wonderful not to pack 50 UNK of books the kindle worked on airplanes trains and UNK UNK the only problem had was getting new books to download while overseas because some of the wifi in europe has UNK signal but it did work in some hotels 1 kindle love this thing have only one suggestion and that would be to some how UNK it to be back lit for low light viewing 1 kindle is everything hoped for loving my kindle it makes the daily commute so much better the only slightly negative thing could say is that both hands are needed to hold and page forward 1 easy on the eyes not bad on the budget love my kindle so far decided to spring for the kindle wifi since got so used to seeing kindles cost way over 200 at 139 finally took the plunge into ebooks got it few days ago and already have been reading way more than have lately like how lightweight it is much easier on the wrist than holding novel with one hand have found myself using the text options to make the text bigger at night which is great and keeps me reading without eye strain the speakers on it are great as got to test it out with an audible book that already owned page loads are just as quick as if was turning it on paperback probably faster some features especially enjoy are ability to highlight then pull UNK up in my clippings can also UNK when you find particularly interesting or funny line dictionary hate to admit it but there are still plenty of times might not understand word this feature is useful ability to make notes since like to do little book reviews this is always great because can UNK as go some things like don like could see this being useful for school as well no need for bookmarks dog UNK their read to me experimental feature is probably the only thing am not wow ed by tried it few times more or less for UNK but it doesn always read things correctly the female voice is only slightly less robotic overall am thoroughly happy with my purchase 1 love my kindle am so happy purchased the kindle was going to purchase an ipad but decided on the kindle instead because of the no glare screen and the weight of the device love it it is perfect for the beach and pool 1 owner of both the kindle and the nook have been waiting to write review typically don however was UNK reading the reviews before clicking the confirm purchase button for the kindle and wasn too impressed by the reviews in the first few weeks of this device existence the kindle as earned my time to write review had already purchased barnes noble nooks the nook is great device pleasant feel in the hands very nice looking great reading device the touch screen is very fluid and easy to use of course the battery could last longer sometimes the home button won wake up the touch screen and the page turns could be faster my wife loves it and my son magic UNK books are cheaper for the nook now for the kindle where the nook is like holding hardcover book the kindle is like holding light paperback it the difference between the nook being constant part of the reading experience where the kindle UNK into the background and let the words become the number one player exactly as it should be the kindle acts the UNK character in play where the lead character is allowed to shine and not be out UNK do like the kindle better yes do do think you should like the kindle better honestly the two cannot be compared in some pretty important ways having said that the kindle is better reading device page turns page turns are about twice as fast with the kindle compared to the nook to many this may not be an issue but if you saw the difference you would realize how UNK the difference is the page turns on the kindle are so fluid that it does not at all UNK with the reading experience the nook needs to be UNK into page turn when you still have about more words to finish on the page just announced today that the nook will get new update that will dramatically improve page turns we will see contrast contrast is much better on the kindle was always looking for better contrast on the nook got that extra contrast in UNK with the kindle period looking up definition of word this is simply an awesome UNK of both readers what takes the nook about steps and almost minute to look up word on the nook takes about seconds with the kindle you place your cursor in front of the word on the kindle and the definition immediately pops up flawless storage let be honest if you can fill the kindle with estimated 3000 books then more power to you we have library of almost UNK real books and haven read them all yet however the nook ability to expand it storage with micro sd card is very helpful and does then beat out the kindle in the storage department if you are using the kindle to listen to audio books or music which both devices to well enough then using up the storage on the kindle becomes pretty viable and reasonable event the size of the kindle most likely made it difficult for amazon to fit flash drive in the device size like said before the nook is like reading hardcover and the kindle is like reading paperback it is smaller than the nook in every way don find the nook size off putting at all nor do find the kindle size to be complete winner either then kindle size just makes it better for it to act as something you don notice at all always know am holding the nook battery no UNK the nook touch screen uses lot of juice the kindle can go weeks without needing charge the more you turn on wifi the more battery you use up so far amazon claims about the battery are right on battery life on the kindle is simply awesome browsers am fine with them both but don buy an reader to surf the net the nook color touch screen gives it slight advantage here however once again surfing the net on these things is not optimal but still nice option text to speech no with the nook yes with the kindle it computer voice but have gotten used to it and don find it bad at all pretty helpful for long car rides pdf depends on the pdf some don look right some are just fine the nook seems to handle pdf bit better file format the nook is the winner here amazon strict only our plus mobi of course which they own and yes mobi is just non drm of the same file format amazon uses file format policy is bit limiting especially if you like to borrow ebooks from local library of course there are ways around this and won go into them calibre is great file converter for non drm ebooks content am having more luck finding quality books and blogs with the kindle at better pricing however if know it UNK my wife will enjoy will buy it for the nook regardless of price amazon limits you to only five devices per drm ebook the nook has no such limitation you can download an ebook as many times as you like with the nook page number quite honestly hate the UNK system on the kindle it really the only thing that UNK reminds you that you are reading digital file would say change this and let us see the pages on the nook you see page and have complete idea of your progress percentage on the kindle is fine but it really doesn give you an idea how long the book is when you first start out page turn buttons have big fingers so like the nook buttons better however the kindle buttons are not at all an issue not big deal it just another product of the kindle limited usable real estate navigation like the nook navigation with the touch screen lot but the kindle is fine at least it isn eating up the battery power the four way arrows for navigation the kindle are pretty small but am ok with it wifi haven any issues with either device they are both just as solid freezing never on either one restarting never on the either one starting up immediate with the kindle takes about minutes with the nook which is bit frustrating clock love the always UNK clock on the nook just click your menu button on the kindle and there it is however it would be nice to always have it there perhaps battery power concern what do like more let put it this way since got the kindle haven used my nook but nothing but love for the nook for UNK 1 kindle thought couldn do without my older version but this one has it all over that model really love it 1 UNK review the kindle is an amazing product for avid readers battery life is very long even with the cover which includes light costs of books are UNK low and storage and navigation is excellent settings allow font size changes for ease of reading great product 1 to help you UNK your purpose have had my kindle 3g for little over month am new to readers and so cannot compare it to other products or previous generations am UNK years old and so print size in some situations and the small buttons are somewhat limiting factor for me spend lot of time traveling to share UNK of my mother and being able to take my library with me was my primary UNK for purchasing the kindle use the web browser frequently and although it is cumbersome naturally it not UNK or mouse UNK device and difficult to size the print comfortably without losing most of the page even in landscape view it does let me check email and read news UNK don bother trying to use it to get maps but then it isn netbook or ipad and shouldn be expected to perform the same functions happy can access the internet at all since don have wireless access for my laptop at my mother place tried the text to speech feature and for me the default speed is little too fast and the slower is too slow but since the reading is done in complete UNK logical if had thought about it won use that feature anyway the 3g access has worked great don get the battery life advertised even with wireless turned off most of the time get little over two weeks depending on use out of charge not that complaining can live with that it just isn the month we are led to believe have uploaded couple of pdf files off my computer and page navigation for those is about like that on the web the print size adjustments don work on the pdf so much of the page is lost if you use the zoom feature if you have young eyes not problem all in all quite happy with the product the ability to carry many books around with me access the internet search my books instantly get the definition of an unknown word and purchase books at very reasonable prices instantaneously make this great tool to have 1 love my kindle wasn really interested in kindle until saw my sister kindle ve always enjoyed reading books now it so simple with the kindle and don have to use my reading glasses now downloading the books is so simple question the pricing sometimes when my sister would recommend book she just downloaded for free but when go to download the book the same day there is cost to me my only negative comment is that there wasn detailed instruction manual with the kindle so have to go online to research question 1 kindle 3g this is wonderful product it is amazing how quickly books are downloaded highly recommend this product to any avid reader who doesn have the space for old books as well as the convenience of carrying the item easily anywhere 1 kindle review love love love my kindle using it to store all my favorite books and classics ve decided to get rid of any mass media UNK classics own and just keep them on the kindle mean after all they re free to buy for the kindle and can create more book space in my bookcases by getting rid of ugly old mass media books now of course if find lovely UNK copies of some of these classics ll buy those too my only problem with the kindle is the letters started rubbing off the keyboard in the first week some of them are almost totally gone now if you re not good UNK and just know where the keys are you might have problem 1 kindle after about month of use love my kindle as an avid reader it took some adjustment to get from paper book in my hand to the electronic device used the free kindle for pc to UNK that gap do suggest that the front of the book be UNK in the kindle book 1 kindle really like using the kindle it is perfect size to fit into my purse when leave home so far my only complaint would be that if you download book and see that it is something that you would never read there is no way to delete it from kindle if want it deleted want it out of my kindle not archived hopefully this is an issue that will be changed in the future 1 love it ve only had my kindle month but so far so good thought would miss the feel of book but that is not the case at all highly recommend the latest generation kindle 1 kindle user love my kindle it is very easy to use and extremely easy to read it is great to have when you don live close to brand book store downloading from amazon is super fast and oh so convenient the only drawback that can think of is the limitations due to living in canada some titles are not available like the UNK series by UNK UNK was disappointed by that but overall for usage and convenience highly rate it thanks amazon for excellent product 1 best reader for this price there are many products you can use to read an ebook and there are many online stores that offer ebooks not only does amazon have the best selection of ebooks but they offer the best product for reading them the kindle has many good features can access the dictionary easily and two are included in the unit british dictionary and an american dictionary creating notes on my books is easy and accessing them is easy too like the buttons on the keyboard their rubberized grip makes it UNK to stay on specific key and the layout is UNK it is true that it can be easy to hit the menu and back keys that are around the arrows but find it to be UNK problem the buttons to turn pages are placed UNK on the sides of the unit and unlike other people don find myself accidentally turning pages when pick up the kindle itself the act of turning page takes place very quickly less than second for each page turn searching for words is fast as well it never really feels like the kindle is UNK although am sure the internet browser is the UNK part of the kindle this is above all an ink reader and it does that UNK the UNK internet browsing experience doesn have much of an effect on my opinion of the kindle but had it been better then it would improve the value of this reader the only thing that does bring down the value of the kindle is that it does not support the epub format if that were the case the reader would be perfect but it still slight UNK and there are conversion tools that overcome this flaw although they are inconvenient the kindle also supports the whispernet and whispersync features the whispersync feature is my favorite part of being in the amazon UNK if for whatever reason leave my kindle at home can take out my android phone download my kindle books on the free amazon kindle app and my bookmarks and notes are downloaded to my phone it works the other way around too and with any kindle software pc blackberry iphone etc that coupled with the extremely low price of this kindle means that this is very easily the best ereader on the market others may UNK touch screens and color screens but for the best overall experience look no further than the kindle and the amazon kindle books market 1 amazing this is probably the best UNK kindle yet the glare is reduced the screen is smaller yet UNK the font size visible the book prices are outstanding also up to third of the price of original book prices give this product thumbs up and would recommend it to anyone who takes the time to read 1 absolutely love it have always been voracious reader never go anywhere without book to read and have UNK boxes and UNK of books all over the country and world to include during UNK UNK also have favorite books that are like good friends which have reread numerous times to be able to have all of that with me all the time in lightweight comfortable easy to read format is absolutely heaven to me have had no problems with my kindle and highly recommend it to anyone that has to have reading material with them to be happy don care if the keyboard is tiny not typing the great american novel on it that what my computer is for don care if the web browser is not UNK again that what my computer is for use my kindle to read books on and it is absolutely perfect for that period 0 poor experience twice the good like the device and the convenience very much it is pleasure to read using the device the controls are intuitive and easy to use the bad it is broken and must be replaced when turn it off or put it down it will sometimes not come back on when slide the on off switch the failure is UNK and UNK sometimes just moving the switch back and forth gets it going again sometimes plugging it in works sometimes just waiting the unit does this when fully charged as in overnight it also does not return to the place left off in this particular case when it restarts it goes to chapter even though was reading much further along when put it down guess got bad one too bad as would be very happy if it worked correctly all the time called UNK service and after discussion they sent me new one that process was ok and amazon paid the shipping to return the old one unfortunately the second one has similar problems not quite the same but similar sometimes put it to sleep and come back minutes later it wont wake up by sliding the switch and letting go holding the switch for 20 seconds or so gets it to reboot but then it starts at the beginning of the book instead of where left off also few times while was reading the screen went blank and the unit rebooted itself again back to the beginning of the book not where left off have gone through the returns process on the web site and am simply returning the unit too bad like the device but it is just too frustrating 1 kindle latest generation this is great reader we also have kobo and it is good but the kindle is faster easier to download book and easy to operate all wanted was an reader without lot of complicated UNK this is perfect option one thing that the kobo offers is 100 free books preloaded and access to downloading books from local library for your money if you want an UNK reader you can beat this one 1 kindle latest generation tried out several readers and this kindle is the best lightweight and easy to read definitely loved it 1 50 better resolution longer battery life found the two improvements UNK most in this new kindle to be true to amazon word and all for much better price the improvement in resolution is phenomenal love the kindle the only complaint had was that found it difficult to read easily under 60 UNK bulb with the kindle the type is clear and crisp under the same light charged the kindle out of the box on august 27th and left it on continuously using wireless occasionally to download new or archived books the charge lasted until september 30th the other improvements UNK size ergonomics and price are an added bonus in my opinion amazon did nice job with the new kindle 1 kindle wireless good product really like the long battery life the wireless could be bit UNK navigation for books is good but not so good for the web 1 great purchase so many of my friends and coworkers have kindles and highly recommended them was skeptical but the price drop was enough to UNK me to try it out am very pleased with my purchase very convenient and easy to use 0 no security many books in weird versions apparently there is no security when ordering books my new kindle dx linked directly to my amazon online account automatically on opening wifi when order hard copy books online there are several pages where you need to click through with UNK kindle just buys automatically so immediately accidentally paid for something didn want worse if someone UNK the kindle or just friend as joke they can order hundreds of dollars of stuff without my credit card or if someone UNK the package before you even open it they can also just order off your credit card there was no page that even asked if UNK use off my credit card beware does UNK know about this also all the free classics seem to be UNK up UNK or UNK versions eg the UNK is UNK UNK UNK version UNK to the center of the earth seems to be weird UNK etc most of them have pages and pages of comments before you can even get to the UNK UNK text and with the kindle format it seems very hard or impossible to get full publishing info page for most all many books on kindle there is just simplified cover and author no UNK editions etc seems kindle doesn pdf all this stuff but simple UNK what info to include and then basically just provides it as text with little formatting kindle seems better for UNK fiction but seems pretty useless for any UNK purpose wonder if this is all technically legal not providing UNK etc but again maybe this lack of info is only for old non copyright books either way kindle is very UNK as UNK down of books much as the internet typically provides no UNK info neither does kindle UNK in an UNK world 1 kindle this is the first kindle that have purchased have found it to be everything that hoped it would it very comfortable to hold pages turn quickly and it is very easy to UNK my books into various collections there are various sites besides amazon to download free books from have had no problems with this model since purchased it few months ago have purchased UNK luv case for it and am very pleased with that also 1 kindle is the best we purchased are new kindle with wi fi month ago and we really love the new size and it is easy to use we really enjoy being able to change the font to larger print for us we have gotten many free books and love the games available the size and UNK are plus 1 enjoying my kindle am UNK by how easy it is to read book it is light weight turn the pages faster than in regular book and the pages are easy to read have UNK through books do miss couple of features that regular books have like flipping around and going back to reread something again but maybe can do that and just have not figured out how yet ve only had it about month it just took me minutes to start it download book and start reading take it everywhere enjoy it immensely highly recommend this excellent product 1 as with any book you can put it down received my kindle but it took me several days before loaded book read the instructions being of the later generation not wanting to UNK up not to worry it the easiest thing ve ever done easily got on the wireless at work and started my download then couldn wait to get home and start my new book told my son had kindle and he was amazed he had being wanting one for long time and said now that they were 139 just maybe he could afford one bought him one with my american express points and told him it was an early birthday present ve always loved to read but would UNK book to death with my kindle can just push the button and go back and reread pages and review my notes thank you for making it affordable look forward to being able to give my UNK the kindle as presents 1 absolutely fantastic this is my first book reader and can not say enough wonderful things about it researched many many other book readers including the nook and ones made by sony kobo UNK shipping for this was fast and the kindle was UNK well and very well protected the packaging was very easy to open now on to the kindle itself it lightweight compact and just fantastic love that can put pdf files on it also the screen resolution is great reading book is easy love being able to change the font size resolution and screen orientation buying books is fast and easy don know how ever lived without it everyone who loves to read should most definitely get the kindle 1 kindle review the kindle was everything we thought it would be gave it as gift and it was much appreciated 1 love it really happy with the new kindle it small easy to use great selection of books it just what wanted the ink is the best feature it super easy to read even for long periods of time and out in the sun 1 nice device nice device would prefer to buy kindle dx if it has annotation support for pdf format and cheaper price but at the moment this version of kindle has support for pdf annotation and acceptable price there is only one thing really do not like about this device is shopping at kindle store when book is selected to view description then the focus on description page is set by default on buy button so if you tap twice accidentally then you may buy book by mistake of course you can select later cancel order if you did not press button three times but then you get refund which can be little lower than what you paid if you are outside of usa due to UNK exchange rate used by credit card so be careful when you tap on expensive books 1 much better than my first kindle after three years with my first kindle it developed problem where it would freeze up on me UNK it in to amazon for the kindle wireless like the new one lot better here what different and better the pages turn much faster the buttons are laid out in better positions and are easier to use it smaller and thinner but the screen size is just as good as the old one 1 touchscreen in the future ve wanted kindle for long time since seeing my friend the original but because of costs could not get one when the 3rd generation arrived hesitated but having read the positive reviews on this site along others finally decided to order the wifi 3g so worth the wait right out of the box so easy to use amazon had my kindle registered so started ordering the free classics have been reading more than ever and UNK that to the kindle no more heavy books to carry have nothing negative to write about the kindle but wonder if touchscreen is in the works for the future so used to touchscreen phones pc so once in awhile mistakenly press the screen thinking that would work it would be faster choosing what you want amazon touchscreen kindle would be sweet something to consider 1 very nice device this device is very nice and useful compared to other devices the size is perfect for people who are travelling or would like portable reader the ink technology is amazing it very comfortable to read one big improvement will be great it about the pdf reader the kindle is able to manage only zoom levels page zoom if amazon will release pdf reader which is able to play with the pdf font size then the kindle will be perfect 1 love it the are so many good detailed reviews available so simply going to give my quick two cents here love this device its lightweight simple and beautiful have been an avid reader since UNK you ll never find me without book or two now can read as many books as want without concern for storage and much less concern for the cost of each book it is simple and elegant in the UNK design as well as it UNK functionality UNK amazon for keeping it dedicated to it purpose and not trying to make it into jack of all UNK just love it 1 kindle bought the kindle for my wife as her vision is failing and she likes to read now she can enlarge the font or have the kindle read to her if her eyes tire she wasn sure she wanted this but now she is quite happy to have it another advantage is that her wrists don get tired holding heavy book even paperbacks get to be too heavy at times glad ordered it from amazon amazon makes buying easy and saves trip to the store even though target had an ad for the kindle they had none in stock yet mine arrived in three days 1 more like stars bought my kindle and received it day or so after its release purchased it to take it to UNK UNK and it worked UNK well here what loved had no problems with downloading books in UNK UNK since they were one time downloads was not charged extra the downloading speed was just as fast as in my own home the best part is that don have to be in plan to use my kindle away from home love that can read it outside love the free books and the cheap books by independent authors hitting the amazon bestsellers every day to download free books that may be interested in jump on those because the prices can change quickly love that when done with book don have to sell it or give it away because of lack of storage can easily file the book in collection and it all done for the more expensive books love that can download samples so know whether or not to check them out from the library love the size and weight of the kindle it so easy to spend hours reading it since it lighter than most paperbacks also don have eye strain my complaints are very minor which is why UNK up the keyboard the letters are starting to wear off after about month or so of use also wish they had number symbols row instead of having symbol button the side navigation it took while to get used to side navigation as want the big button on the left to go back page wish there was way to change the navigation buttons the web browsing the browsing is very basic and if not in good connection area will cause my kindle to lock up kindle could use some improvements library formats wish the kindle was more library format friendly however you can find file UNK to take care of this also since my library doesn have electronic formats this isn real concern sharing would love to be able to trade share books complaints that amazon doesn have control over book prices you would think that publishers would drop the prices given that they don have to print or ship the books given that if book isn under ll use the public library give book serious consideration if it in the range anything that like under ll buy UNK when go over to someone house like checking out their book collection in UNK UNK UNK way you can tell much about person from their books kindles and other book readers will take away that ability however given the massive amount of trees UNK saved it sacrifice worth having wish that UNK textbooks would get on board the ereader route it would save so much money and it would UNK the students load as they wouldn have to carry these massive books around all the time overall extremely happy that purchased the kindle and would do it again in UNK 1 fantastic love my kindle so easy to read and downloading books is UNK easy my UNK is little UNK around the edges from all the books ve bought love the availability of the free books as well would recommend this to any serious reader especially when your bookshelves are UNK under the weight of all your books 1 kindle 3g like the new kindle it is faster smaller sharper however do not think the battery claim is accurate so far mine has not held charge for even one week wireless turned off that disappointment everything else however is as claimed 1 UNK kindle recently upgraded to the new version of kindle must admit am pleased with many of the new features longer life battery that will stay in its casing my old one kept falling out didn last long and didn keep charge for long enough to make it worth taking along on UNK am pleased with the placement of the power on off switch trying to reach it on the back side was UNK and annoying the switch was too small and too close to the wifi connection switch the thinner lighter weight device is very nice and carrying case that locks the kindle securely in place is huge benefit the arrow keys and other features for navigating the screen are much appreciated as well but the most important improvement in my opinion was changing the size of the next page and back page bars it was absolutely impossible to grab onto the old kindle without inadvertently hitting one of the bars and moving page ahead or back overall it is great device and take it with me everywhere love to read on trips and no longer need to carry large case filled with books have full library available on my slim kindle one feature would like to see added would be phone and internet capabilities could have an all in one device 1 kindle gift UNK ordered the kindle as gift although did power it up and connect to my wireless network did not download any media so my experience with the device is quite limited it did connect wirelessly without problem the viewing screen is easy to read the buttons are tiny and wonder how my mother will navigate them 1 pretty UNK sweet it is nice lightweight and small in the military and am going to be moving around lot and don want to lug around whole UNK of books also most books are discounted from their print versions and lot of the cost can be UNK in savings rather quickly 1 silver UNK UNK received my kindle for christmas last year loved it from the moment downloaded my first book had added several books just before we were to take our vacation to UNK UNK in september was looking forward to days sitting by the pool cool drink at hand and great reading however on our second night in UNK UNK the house we were UNK was UNK one of the items taken was my kindle almost went crazy without my kindle for the UNK of our UNK upon returning the first replacement item ordered was another kindle my UNK kindle was white when ordered the replacement ordered the graphite find the darker color easier on my eyes can read for longer without my eyes becoming tired also like the button changes on the new kindle the previous advance buttons on both sides of the new kindle is great improvement on the old kindle the previous button was located on the left side only being right handed found it inconvenient to have to reach across the viewing area to back up page while my husband is learning all the features of his replacement camera happily UNK up on all the reading missed during UNK love the kindle have and will continue to recomend it to all my friends 1 kindle reader have the kindle app on my phone computer and ipad bought the kindle itself because of its size and light weight it does everything expected including automatically syncing with my other devices also purchased leather cover with the built in led light highly recommend this option it looks great UNK like book and allows reading in low light in bed at night on airplanes etc couldn be happier with my kindle purchase 1 why chose kindle over nook ve been in the market for an reader for couple of months now and when found out textbook for my class would be available via book decided it was time to purchase device have been purchasing books and using kindle reader on my computer and my iphone so already started small library bought both the kindle and the nook to see which one liked better the most important things to me are readability function style ease of use and availability of books of course the nook was much UNK than the kindle but when comparing other UNK the kindle blew the nook out of the water kindle is much lighter and thinner than the nook operate the kindle with one hand and felt the need to use two hands when using the page turn on the nook speaking of page turning the kindle is significantly faster in my opinion opened the same book on each device held them side by side and turned the pages at the same time the kindle was already on the next page while the nook was still thinking even gave the nook head start in one of my page turning UNK the kindle still won also the page turn buttons are easier to push on the kindle the battery life on the kindle is much better than the nook it took short amount of time to charge fully and after using it for hours for reading and downloading books the charge is still almost full the nook took longer to charge and when plugged it into my computer it said that could read books while it was charging with the computer as long as UNK the nook from my usb drive sounds simple enough just eject the nook and keep it plugged in and read but it didn work warning still stayed on the screen and was unable to get any menus so long as the nook was plugged into the computer haven had that problem with my kindle kindle has more font sizes to choose from kindle is so easy to navigate there are just few buttons you need to use to find your book make highlights shop online etc also the actual keyboard is going to be great for taking notes the nook is another story when it comes to navigation the color touch screen had entirely too many menu options that had to go through to find book or find settings think the cover flow is nice feature but it unnecessary also the light on the touch screen was distracting while reading in my opinion the light does go off eventually but if you accidently tap the home button the color screen will show up again although the kindle also offers games my main purpose for owning one of these devices is to read and store books don need games staring me in the face causing UNK if studying and don need fancy color touch screen have an iphone for that was told that the nook can read books from amazon and other stores but to get the books on the device you need to use back door it not as simple as hooking the device to your computer and dragging the book file to the nook folder that didn work at all even googled and couldn find any source of information on how to transfer the book since had already purchased books from amazon didn have to worry about transferring them to my kindle the nook offers lot of UNK such as lending to friends reading book for up to hour free in the store and UNK for the store but didn find those UNK to be enough to make me want to choose the nook because the overall reading experience on the nook just couldn compare to the kindle the lightweight thin profile and the seamless page turning make the kindle experience even better than reading real book there is one advantage that the nook has over the kindle in this price range and that style the 139 kindle only came in this gray color and the nook was just so much UNK am very UNK and love pretty things even electronics if you knew me you would be surprised that didn just keep the nook for the simple fact that it better looking after all both devices do the same thing but the kindle does the same thing so much better than the nook guess can cover it up with one of those pretty skins 1 this is not an anything absolutely love my kindle but be warned this is reading device that it the screen is amazing it exactly like reading ink and paper not tiring on the eyes no glare so you can read in the sun etc also no back light so you can read in the dark but if what you re looking for is something similar to the ipad or touch screen devices this is not it no video music is in the experimental UNK and not up to par yet you can play music but you can actually see what is playing and you have three options pause play or skip to the next song no way to get back to the previous song or the beginning of the current song interesting it does have browser also in experimental UNK but surprisingly enough it was good it all in black and white but works fine like mobile browsers do so this is really for book lovers but this is not an mp3 player or media player of any kind 1 kindle just love it very easy to use UNK type size which like good book selection 1 great service thankfully received the kindle 3g as gift then it froze within days tried solutions found at many web sites including paid one before broke down and called amazon the UNK UNK seemed to UNK and told me new kindle would be sent shortly ups was UNK at my door within 26 hours with my new reader amazon provided me with shipping label so the hardest part of this whole UNK was finding an ups box to return my old device have never been so satisfied as customer of any company will reccomend kindle to all who UNK on my public UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 great love this thing it makes reading even better get more out of it by looking up the words and read more because of the size and speed to start reading UNK 1 very impressed the service that amazon provided was first class and the product was even better then expected very very satisfied UNK 1 new kindle wireless after having some problems with my kindle have upgraded to kindle and am pretty happy with the decision the following is what have liked relative to my kindle the battery this is what had problems with on kindle but my new one is working great haven run it down yet not even sure if have got it past half way but it lasts well over weeks and that good enough for me the contrast and weight really are better when reading about it wasn sure if this would make much difference but it does it really is much closer to paper look now and you really notice it in poor lighting wireless is handy as travel lot and it saves me the that used to have to pay to get books internationally ergonomically this feels better in my hand like that the back is not shiny metal and is far less slippery than the previous version it also just nice small product wouldn really want it to get any smaller in later versions though as any less and trying to hold and keep hands out of the way would be harder the pdf support is better on k3 than k2 but still not anywhere good enough to UNK me to use it for work documents think the UNK will always make this difficult as want to read novels on UNK screen could be bigger than this though and pdf docs on close to UNK size the price is much more reasonable than the previous version overall UNK very happy but few minor downsides preferred the white one but couldn get it in the wife only version the plastic isn as hard and have few scratches on the front as result no big deal just doesn look new anymore and could have been solved by using cover when travelling don like the range of cases as much previously had the edge black leather cover but their new version doesn use the clips and isn leather the other one on offer doesn have UNK on the right hand side for the kindle at the moment UNK holding off hoping better covers will come out and prices might come down with stars still reccomend it to everyone and its the best option UNK in UNK by far but there is still room for improvement touch screen could be cool but wouldn want it to impact price too significantly 0 broken in one month ve barely had this product month and already the screen is frozen screensaver ve rebooted ve contacted amazon they have yet to respond wish had read the other UNK one star reviews this is terrible product defect would never recommend that anyone purchase kindle until the company fixes this problem 1 love love love my kindle had sony UNK bought december 2009 soon my eyes were UNK anytime tried to read had to put on the backlight to read no matter what the time of day to be able to see the screen properly added to that the sony does not really like the added UNK of memory to store additional books on it really is not worth the trouble to put things on the cards because the reader will slow down UNK and eventually start to freeze and need to have the library collection UNK over and over again enough bought the kindle and received it about weeks ago love it much easier to read the screen rarely use booklight anymore no more UNK eyes or headaches and while the collections are pain in the you know what to deal with at least it can handle multiple collections have to use authors names to store books away just too UNK to have them all in any old way fiction etc while see there is plenty of room for improvement with the collections feature love this ereader and will stay with the kindle and its upgrades from now on oh yes hopefully it will soon be able to accept the epub format definitely move UNK and at 139 more than worth the money 1 happy with my purchase checked out many readers liked all of the kindle features asked people what they thought and they all went with kindle am very happy with my purchase UNK 1 amazon kindle latest generation have own this kindle latest generation for weeks it is very handy and convenient it is excellence 1 kindle love my kindle except for the fact that cannot get cover for it always is backordered and amazon never has it in stock 1 just wish don need to go over all that is right about this product just read the hundreds of reviews already here the only reason didn give the kindle star rating is because reading pdf document on the kindle can be very challenging unless you send it through the service with amazon and have it converted to an azw file so will close my eyes real tight click my UNK together times and wish real hard for an update or even upgrade to be made available soon allowing for UNK pdf reader in my kindle 1 kindle review hi bought my kindle as present for my wife at first she was reluctant to use it change is always change but now can hardly find 10 free minutes of our kindle we find the device very easy to use light and so practical with the wifi connection and the convert pdf files system through mail the only weak point is the poor spanish offer hope you ll improve it in the future to get as many spanish and other countries kindle UNK best regards UNK 1 my kindle purchased the kindle after much thought on it have been pleased with it since receiving it am not techno person but am able to find the functions that want and enjoy downloading the books that are interesting to me the only challenge could find would be the ability to find all the functions that this devise has without guide book to go by it is UNK event for me to find out how to do what the kindle can do do enjoy having it for its ease of use and UNK can carry it in my purse and it is safe with the wonderful cover that got to use with it 1 it interesting it UNK to take longer to connect to wifi and 3g have trouble connecting to 3g think wispernet worked much better love the smaller size and all the fonts available all in all like it but miss my old one 1 pretty good start really enjoying my new toy but love to be able to put my own screen saver images instead of the built in ones the benefit of great electronic devices is UNK after all 1 love my kindle but digital media needs some improvements got the 2nd generation kindle as christmas gift in 2009 and have gotten so much use out of it it super light and easy to use only have to charge it about once month even if read for hours daily amazon offers lots of free book titles and new releases are usually good deal when comparing hardcover price to the digital list price was even able to purchase some of my text books for school at less than half the price which made purchasing my kindle much better deal my only regret is that didn wait another months for the price to drop by half UNK was definitely big purchase for me and now that they re offered at 139 they will probably pay for themselves for heavy reading users within few years gave the kindle stars instead of because the price of digital book titles has increased to about what the same title would cost in paperback edition without the publishers having to pay for the paper printing and shipping of actual books to stores think the digital list price should be bit lower than the price of paperback additionally several of the titles ve ordered have contained multiple typing mistakes about per page that aren present in print editions the most common mistakes are UNK letters UNK instead of corner and leaving out the first letter as instead of was etc even though can quickly figure out what it supposed to say it UNK from the story and shouldn happen when paying the same price as printed book with no mistakes on top of nearly 300 dollars for the device all in all have no complaints with the kindle itself but am somewhat dissatisfied with many of the digital titles ve purchased 1 have second generation and love it mine isn the newest but use it continuously have nice skin to protect it from UNK as well as leather cover that UNK for travel love how it feels in my hands use the 3g so much am not sure having the wi fi only would be satisfactory for me like to get the free chapters and sample books before buy often when get around to reading the chapter and UNK ordering the full text is when am at the doctors office on the beach camping on the train driving in the car as passenger etc and the 3g is great because don have to wait for wi fi spot to get my book use my kindle so much cannot imagine going back also started UNK lot of the classics that read in my UNK but didn appreciate or understand like do now in my UNK the kindle makes this easy and affordable since lot of them are free but my bookshelves were just getting too packed yes can wait in line at the library but the price on kindle is good and get my books when want them this is hands down the best purchase have made in the last few years there are so many features and use them read the manual you won believe how many things the kindle can do recommend it to anyone who loves to read 1 it is amazing love it easy to read is the kindles best feature it is easy to navigate and downloading content happens effortlessly am thrilled with mine am over 50 and have worn out library cards since grade school read for pleasure every day and the kindle lets me skip the trip to the library the free book offerings are many and vary in subject from non fiction to UNK fi it is well worth every penny spent order yours today 1 worth every penny received my amazon kindle about month ago the screen is very easy to read and has beautiful resolution and fonts the size and weight are quite comfortable battery life is impressive use the kindle cover with the built in reading light which looks very UNK and only plug the kindle in briefly each day to upload some daily news files from an open source app after the initial full charge up it was almost month before had to charge it again keep the wireless off except when downloading new files or occasionally using the web browser it is easy to UNK new books from the kindle store and to convert other formats to the kindle format carry it with me almost everywhere go this is not to say that the kindle experiences could not be improved would like to see more books available in the kindle format know amazon is doing everything it can in this respect just happen to want lot of books that are not very recent or very popular yet are not public domain yet and many of them are not available for the kindle at this time the ability to easily add one own images to the wonderful and UNK pre installed standby images apparently this can be done but not without UNK breaking the kindle and UNK the UNK conditions an easy way to keep clock visible on the screen at all times an easy way to have more control over the end product when making one own kindle books chapter UNK etc none of these are very serious issues the kindle is great product which recommend also recommend the black cover with the built in reading light friend of mine has sony reader and now that he seen my kindle he wishes he bought one instead of the sony 1 love my kindle love my kindle no books lying around my home or to get rid of kindle books cheaper that UNK all have to do is pre order any new books coming out that know going to want to read tell everybody know about it 1 why no library access love the kindle had my computer UNK son review all the readers to see which one should get and he said the kindle was far better than all the others have one major complaint though why doesn the kindle allow access to library books was excited to see my local library was part of this program but quite dismayed to find out that all the other readers could access it except for the kindle come on amazon get with the program throughout history libraries have not put single book seller out of business so what the problem this is the kind of situation that would make me go elsewhere when want to buy things because there is no reason for it except company UNK 1 almost perfect had the first kindle which was great haven read paper book for almost three years the newest generation is vastly improved ve got one big complaint however the new kindle does not show the battery usage icon on every page when reading book you have to hit menu to see your battery status when the battery gets very low you get very brief warning before the unit UNK itself off there no time to get the cord to plug it in for charging and when this happens the kindle UNK the page you were reading when it shut down which is real pain in the UNK called kindle about this and they said they left off the every page battery icon to make more room for text poor choice in my opinion they could have put it next to the progress bar which is at the bottom of every page when reading book this said buy this kindle anyway the UNK far outweigh this problem 1 my kindle connected itself am not computer literate you will love it my UNK has UNK about her kindle for months am over 65 and not computer literate hesitated making kindle purchase because thought would not be able to figure it out bought kindle with 3g downloaded lot of free books to my account before my kindle arrived have had my kindle about week and love love love it when turned on my kindle to wifi UNK all the books appeared don wait if you do you are missing out have learned to download my music to the kindle wished they had included an usb cable in the package love the text to audio feature you can adjust the speed and volume of the audio reader you can make the font bigger if you have bad eyes believe these features are dependent on the book you download have couple UNK who would love kindle hope amazon will consider setting up young reader kindle account some UNK would be glad to UNK on an kindle account for them to select their kindle and their books thought about an amazon gift card but UNK today may choose to use their gift card on purchases other than on kindle it is missed opportunity christmas and UNK we can add to their prepaid account 1 kindle wireless arrived on time and UNK well the kindle wireless has long battery life and is as light weight as advertised downloads of books have been easy and fast there are great variety of classic books available for free and immediate download on the website can wait to take it with me to UNK no more lugging around books on vacation highly recommended 1 it great UNK this for my husband for his birthday what great way to carry so many books in such small space and you can turn the UNK without having to put your UNK down 1 kindle 3g few soft spots the kindle 3g does what it says it will do the free books are great and the downloads are fast and seamless it is easy too read and operate when the item costs this much would assume that they could include window protector and some type of plastic cover the unit is very UNK to scratches dirt and water damage which requires after UNK purchases the wi fi and 3g both work for downloading books but little else going on line to UNK mail or checking news is more trouble than it is worth web pages are difficult to read and the mouse control is so UNK and UNK that frustration sets in before you can complete any on line task would suggest that you UNK the extra 50 for the 3g and buy the standard version then use wi fi for downloading that will get you enough money for the after market required accessories 1 kindle without 3g this kindle was fine but without 3g felt UNK returned it for the kindle with 3g if you stay near connection this version is fine 1 fabulous reader was using the sony pocket reader for the last two years and was quite content with it until my brother showed me this it very lightweight and thin the refresh rate is so quick and the font pages look so much clearer very happy with this and definitely recommend it 1 book reader with some limitations in general the kindle is what had hoped it would be it is pleasure to read books with this light device that changes pages quite nicely am disappointed with the limitations on personal document reading reading pdf document is not that practical had read the UNK and hoped that improvements would have made reading pdfs easier though chose the kindle once the devices that carry non proprietary formats catch up will likely switch the small screen is not practical for reading manuals purchased for UNK ebook and found it bit tedious to navigate on the kindle for now the kindle meets my needs for pleasure reading not for business got what was advertised like it but can say wow 1 review the product has been amazing its been way more than expected and couldn be more pleased 1 book UNK native of UNK western australia bought kindle on my birthday in september which had been reviewing for some time it was UNK out of stock however on ordering and actual delivery only took about 10 working days from good old us of to western australia even UNK mail UNK effective it has exceeded all my expectations and increased my reading four fold and the UNK library that you have to offer is outstanding even better at this time is the equal UNK between the and the us so book value is really great the 3g network makes seamless the purchase and short download period thanks for everything do however look forward to the future in terms of colour and possibly pictures but enjoy UNK ancient text to extend my endless UNK in UNK and UNK 1 kindle experience very pleased with this product worked quite well and books selected downloaded rapidly without any UNK the product itself is neat compact and easily carried at first thought that would have difficulty reading from this device as compared to the traditional hard copy but after few days of UNK don UNK that would be able to go back to the old method UNK to amazon for an excellent product 1 everything it said it was ve had my kindle for about month now and love it after reading all of the information on the the kindle product page was little doubtful that it could do everything described well was happily surprised to find that in fact it does do everything stated and it does it very well the text is wonderfully clear even in sunlight and all of the features it comes with are awesome ps the availability of free classics UNK UNK treasure island etc from amazon was an added bonus 1 orders of UNK better than the 1st generation this is much better product than the 1st generation unit purchased in 2008 the battery life is much much better there no back panel to be UNK it feels and looks more like piece of quality equipment and it still easily readable the buttons still feel little stiff but they are better than those on the 1st generation product believe some of the buttons could be larger the arrows surrounding the home button but they are acceptable now the forward and back buttons for page control are great improvement with their consistent placement and location every owner of 1st generation unit who has been UNK over battery or general quality issues will like this upgrade and amazon should through UNK UNK make sure that early UNK stay with them through UNK product generations 1 wish was on UNK for sales of this is the best thing since sliced bread my husband and have now got one each saves all the fuss of who is going to read in our travels we have convinced countless others to purchase kindle for themselves so much so that wish was on UNK for all related sales the product is so easy to use and learning is breeze very happy user 1 amazing am an english lit major so the thought of carrying the kindle instead of tons of books was major factor in my decision to make this purchase the product arrived on schedule and has far exceeded my expectations during UNK while my UNK are fighting to find their UNK quotes or get to the part of the reading we are UNK only have to push few buttons and am there in addition make notes as we go without having to balance UNK notebook and my heavy textbook am looking forward to time when more text books become available the kindle has also nearly paid for itself because the books that are required this UNK are free or much cheaper using the device as for at home have found great selection of books that enjoy reading outside the classroom have pain condition that at times makes it difficult to hold book the lighter kindle is great for those days do not have to set aside my book due to pain the other concern had before purchase was about ease of use it is so easy and UNK am delighted the night received it took it to my UNK house they are in their 80 with few minor instructions they were using the kindle within minutes they do not use computers at all cannot imagine anyone not loving this product with the savings from UNK of books it pays for itself it is easy to use and is lot better than carrying multiple books 1 does what is has to and very well the kindle is the perfect ebook reader sharp screen great contrast easy to read letters easy to handle to load texts tried all the possibilities can imagine them being simpler at the moment then is does not cost too much ve noticed that one reads faster with kindle that with normal paperback have less trouble skipping over less interesting sections do not know yet why there are couple of downsides but they are not specific to the kindle first with text book stuff it generally necessary to easily switch between different pages and to annotate sections in the book while this all is possible it not really simple and intuitive second no longer have the books on my shelf to make an impression to UNK full book shelf easily shows UNK my book taste what do now is that if have book liked on the kindle order it on paperback this is not such big deal there are not sooo many books love and want to put physically in my bookshelf third lending books is much harder with kindle when someone UNK me it simple to just give him one of my physical books to read with file that harder 1 the best christmas present ever gave myself for those of you who have little time to spend browsing through bookstores or libraries to find book of interest to you the kindle is perfect solution when finish book all have to do is shop online read the reviews determine which book is for me and click quickly my choice is downloaded to my kindle and am ready to read again it fits in my briefcase or purse returns me to the last page was reading and gives the meaning of any word wish without leaving the page don need computer can shop in my UNK can shop while at the track meet but best of all can at anytime of my choosing turn on my kindle and be UNK away to any UNK of my choosing you have great product 1 happy with my kindle bought kindle finally have been wanting one for year or so glad waited for this third generation kindle very light and easy to use can believe all the free books available have had it now for about weeks often try to literally turn the page so the goal of having me forget not reading book was accomplished couldn be happier with my kindle 1 love my kindle read almost books week and love that as finish book can find another within minutes 1 wow reading again now have my kindle whole new world of reading has opened up and actually want to read more not only can now access more material can add my own listen to music and go on the web all in one place the 3g is free so that great most importantly the images are easy on the eyes and the unit is comfortable to hold for long periods and yes the battery just keeps going on and on my best tech purchase in ages get one for yourself 1 why did wait wish hadn waited so long to get this love the convenience slip it in my pocketbook and can pick up my books lots of them when waiting for my chinese take out or doctor appointment still have paper books but now can read everywhere easily 1 great product love the kindle it is so easy to use and eliminates the need to carry around huge book also instead of carrying around spare book so have the next one to read only need this one device my only complaint is that the volume for the text to speech option is so low it is hard to hear if there is any background noise even after adjusting the volume on the kindle to the UNK level you won be able to hear it if you set it on the seat next to you as you are driving to work 1 love it love it love it ve had my kindle for days and can put it down did finally UNK without it the user guide is excellent since developing UNK my vision is getting worse and reading hard copy book is becoming more and more difficult amazed that can read my kindle for hours and feel no strain and the print doesn UNK and haven even enlarged the font yet ordering books via amazon couldn be any easier all want for christmas is amazon gift cards so can buy more books this absolutely is the best thing since sliced bread 1 loved my kindle love my kindle everything works as expected the browser is bit slow and clunky but it is experimental so you expect some flaws delivery was also fast even though the product was out of stock amazon delivered it before the expected date love it 1 UNK UNK connection first of all let me UNK the positives great screen glare not problem easy to operate fairly intuitive some things are not but you figure them out fast convenient to hold page turns feel natural all in all wonderful little library and am pleasantly surprised at how much like it but have big problem with the fact that it won stay connected when try to use UNK content store have been able to connect wirelessly with my kindle but the connection is constantly dropped and reset and haven made one successful purchase from my kindle at the kindle store have been able to purchase books via laptop and have them appear UNK but can use UNK features UNK mistakenly thought this was problem with UNK UNK service but was wrong and am UNK review it has nothing to do with coverage issues but who knows why it constantly drops connections this problem is consistent on several connections 1 my 10 old son likes to read thanks to kindle really like kindle it perfect for my needs just reading was hesitant when choosing the display over but very happy with it now it very light and thin and easy to hold with one hand the biggest advantage of having kindle is that my 10 old son who thought that reading was boring has changed his mind about it and now reads every day we have to take turns amazing we might be buying another one 1 great reading solution for slow readers in reviewing the various ebook readers such as the nook and sony readers number of things attracted me to finally select the new kindle wi fi model first it the only ebook reader with text to speech function was surprised at how clear the voices male and female sounded in fact the male voice sounds just as clear as the male voice generated by the device that helps the UNK steven hawking speak am slow reader so love the idea of the kindle speaking aloud the text as read it also it really plus when you re tired to just set the reader to automatically speak the text of book while you lay in darkness with UNK on your head second the kindle UNK is incredibly clear so that even small lettering generated by the included dictionaries look very clear this means to me that kindle ink technology uses very high UNK of ink on each page my wife owns nook ebook reader for her school teaching work and we were both shocked at the UNK in the clarity of the kindle page compared to her nook even the kindle screen savers that come on after UNK for 10 minutes look much more UNK like compared to the less picture UNK on the nook screen saver pages third the kindle is very light and compact it really modern day UNK how fast the kindle goes from page to page also the menus display fast and are very clear to use forth the kindle is surprisingly intuitive to use even though the pdf included manual is very large and complete was able to easily figure out how to select and buy books from the kindle store without having to consult the manual all in all give the kindle five stars because it UNK everything in its stated specifications and at 139 this ebook reader is UNK for those who like me want to read some of the classics that never got chance to read when was younger and at over 700 000 books in the amazon kindle books inventory have wide selection of books at very low prices 1 very happy with minor quibbles am extremely happy with my kindle love to collect books and love to read so my kindle is perfect love being able to select font some days need larger font can make it as pleasing as possible kindle have been very UNK about some features being experimental as an mp3 player it is limited reading aloud is fairly mechanical not feature will use much it not great displaying pdf hope kindle will continue to improve their experimental web browser love that feature and would love to see it UNK love being able to download purchases through whispernet downloaded king james bible for 99 cents and an UNK version for 35 very inexpensive there are so many excellent books available in the public domain many of which are not easily found in paper editions there are other sites such as the gutenberg project that have thousands of other books to download to my computer and then transfer to my kindle there are many more public domain books that could be made available when every paper edition has been UNK out there should always be kindle version nothing should ever go out of print all in all am extremely happy with my kindle will buy another in the future 1 great reader the world has been waiting for this now can carry as many books on vacation with me as want the book prices are also reasonable compared to the printed editions really does read great in the sun you definately need to also purchase the leather kindle carry case makes if have more natural feel when you are reading 1 love it love my new kindle am still learning my way around but have subscribed to couple of blogs and have downloaded couple of books and free game so easy to use so easy to read my original intention was to just use it when traveled but find myself reaching for it every day so convenient love it 1 amazon kindle is amazing have just recieved my kindle about three days ago and now after having it and using it since then just couldn possibly part with it think it is amazing at first before had gotten reader was reluctant to purchase one because thought would UNK reading the old fashioned way out of paperback hardcover book but the kindle makes reading so much easier also before purchasing the kindle had researched all of the other ereaders and it had come down to the barnes and nobles nook or the amazon kindle looked at all reviews and videos on youtube pros and cons everything and after hearing some of the cons about the nook had to go UNK the kindle and UNK not disappointed with my choice wish the covers were color but now that think about it actually like the black and white think the color and the menu bar at the bottom of the nook with the color would distract me quite bit think wouldn want touch screen too love the type pad thing at the bottom of the kindle and when read this was so worried it would be like computer screen or my eyes would hurt and would have to stretch every so often like reading book or on the computer but no was completely wrong what do you know haha absolutely love that when reading it looks exactly like book pages love that don think could like the kindle or any reader if the screen didn look like book pages because in school am on the computer all day when get home UNK on the computer and when get my job my UNK will be doing stuff on the computer and it great to get away from that you dont really have to worry about the glare all the time another thing love is that am comfortable all the time it doesn matter where reading on the bus and in bed extremely comfortable now and love the size of this thing the kindle has other features such as web music but don think ll be using those so much because didn get the kindle for the extras got it for reading mean like the features ve tried them out and they UNK if you want to do quick search of something and have little music was actually thinking of getting the apple ipad in place of reader because it had all those extra features had everything video web mail ibooks photos well you guys know but number one the price costs so much cannot afford it and it is so big don like how big it is would not wanna bring it anywhere of fear of getting stolen loved all the features and all and kind of wanted to get it because it had all in one but thought no dont need it and good thing the ipad UNK had that glare in there if your reading anyway and its like just be reading off another computer need that ink feature have not tried the dictionary yet but love the bookmark notes at first had trouble on how you are suppose to highlight but got it right away have habit of like figuring out stuff on my own keys and all before looking at the little start guide we get haha UNK will not be using the text to speak but that is nice feature because one don like auto for book being read to me because kinda loose what is happening in book think it all depends on the voice and how good job they are doing should try an UNK one day though got the kindle just with wifi which came in that dark grey color which loved that it wasn just choice of white because love this color would not want the white think when you go to home page kinda wish that instead of UNK the books and all that it had covers to go in place like you had choice how you wanted it the kindle is pretty easy to figure out so you shouldn have any trouble with figuring how it works love that you can use the kindle month before charging it am so used to other electronics where like after using it go home and plug it in and it is hard to get out of that habit but love that it is whole month am very satisfied with my purchase and the kindle was worth every cent and set at great price of 139 like that anyone can afford this just purchased cover which should be coming in soon know will need one and still need to purchase warranty for my product still have time though learning towards square trade instead of the year warranty that is listed for the kindle because heard so many bad things about it so hopefully when purchase my square trade warranty will not be disappointed if you are looking for an reader and don know which to pick go with the amazon kindle 1 finally pulled the trigger and got one well have been following readers for number of years now and even though am an avid reader could never really justify the cost then the new k3 with 3g and wi fi comes around and UNK me with that 189 00 price tag still UNK about and read the reviews and finally decided to pull the trigger and order one for myself days later awesome shipping speed by the way amazon there it was on my doorstep as soon as opened the box it was love at first sight this little device is one amazing piece of technology reading my favorite books has been an absolute joy and it is also nice to know that if friend UNK book to me can just fire up this little baby and have it in seconds my kindle has worked flawlessly since ve had it but it is pretty fragile went ahead and purchased the lighted cover for it as well and it is also worth every penny as much as love to read never really did it in bed however with my new kindle and lighted cover well let just say that love reading in bed now won go into detailed step by step review here as it been done many times over by people with much better writing UNK than this is just for those folks that have been on the fence about taking the plunge into readers have no regrets whatsoever about my purchase it has been an exciting and fun experience only wish got one sooner happy reading everyone 1 kindle we love the new kindle it is easy to use and easy to order books on line we use the 3g wifi feature frequently and plan to use it more as we travel often including out of the country we have ordered second one so my wife and don have to share the same kindle 1 my first kindle bought my son kindle for his birthday and after hearing his glowing review decided to get one for myself easy to use easy to read and UNK and my eyesight isn the best have ball with this new technology and enjoy having my library in my pocket whenever travel 1 my new best friend the new kindle of the latest generation is great tool for everybody who likes to read UNK light and easy to handle you can carry your favorite books at all times with you and if you go on UNK the to books you used to carry along will no longer take up one quarter of the space in your suitcase 0 wish could read the content was so excited to get this kindle after putting some books on it and seeing black txt on grey screen it was extremely disappointing could have used my iphone for what this does and with better results amazons answer is to enlarge the font what the hell words per screen why cant we have white background with white letters like book which it claims so hard to be very disappointing 1 cost of books received the kindle and UNK think that it is the greatest easy to use and easy to read however what is UNK me is the fact that the books are not priced at what amazon was selling us when the product first became available we were led to believe that the books would be no more than 99 UNK we are finding books that cost more than the hard copy of the book to me it seems that we have been UNK by these promises and now that the market is getting UNK with kindles we are being taken advantage of know amazon is saying that it is the publishers that are setting the prices and they claim that amazon is selling hard copies to low in the mean time we the customer are stuck in the middle what is amazon going to do to correct this situation UNK one unhappy customer 1 don have to hear my husband complain purchased the kindle because was told by my sister and UNK not to UNK the book stores are being put out of business always buy books and read them and pass them on and they are always returned to me enjoy reading but what to do with all those books ve run out of space ve UNK some to my work place where we all go to find new book to read so we don have to purchase all the time and possibly see something from new author we haven read yet and was wondering about it works out well but just love my kindle because purchased it for UNK trip was taking and thought this was way more convenient and light weight no longer have to hold heavy book to read and don have to worry about where to store the new book and listen to my husband complain about where am going to put that book the features are great and the down load is so fast this was great UNK 1 good but not enough it pretty good and it responses quickly but some times it will crash and the function is limited the only self UNK document is pdf cannot read any doc or UNK by downloading 1 love it love my kindle can wait to get home every night so can start reading again the UNK just aren long enough anymore one of my favorite things is all the new authors am enjoying and never would have known about if not for my kindle just sorry waited so long to get one 1 kindle 3g wireless the kindle 3g wireless device is one of the best readers on the market have been using it for several weeks now and the only problem that have had is that it freezes after the sleep mode and the power switch does not wake it called amazon and they replaced the unit immediately with next day delivery customer service is awesome less than one minute wait and UNK person on the other line the internet connection is pretty fast and once you get used to the UNK you can easily maneuver to web sites and email magazines and book download are UNK fast almost instantaneously have not used it to play music as of yet all in all great reading experience at great price 1 kindle on cruise my wife purchased the new kindle for me just days before we UNK on UNK day cruise to australia quickly loaded several books and off we went surprisingly mine was one of the very few kindles on our ship when started using it while UNK next to the pool it created UNK of interest by the time we reached UNK several of the other UNK wanted to go to the nearest target to purchase kindles of their own the interest continued for the UNK of the trip while UNK daily sales UNK for the product the kindle was tremendous on the long flight across the country as we traveled to reach our ship in UNK while on the ship it was very convenient to carry the kindle around on the ship reading the text was easy in both bright sunlight as well as in dim lighting as we waited for the production shows to begin cannot say enough good things about the kindle amazon is missing the boat so to speak by not finding way to target ship bound UNK the only draw back found is that while on ship the only way to download books was via my computer the kindle cannot be connected to the ships wi fi system luckily had downloaded more than enough books to last through my UNK my other disappointment was not being able to download daily newspaper subscriptions from what saw they only could be send directly to the kindle and that was not possible while on ship 0 kindle 3g UNK reading device purchased the newest 3g UNK kindle recently but it has been UNK times in few weeks already the device has lost the 3g function and couldn download anything no matter how many times we tried shutting it off and restarted it finally we have to call the international help line they tried the same thing and it didn work until they told us to hold on to the turn off slide button for at least 15 UNK and re boost the device but after week later it happened again and had to re UNK again have purchased of the same devices only one of them has problem so far think may be this one is defective and the UNK is not good enough if it happens one more time ll send it back for replacement 1 kindle love my kindle take it everywhere go even take it to the bar with me where go for dinner often it is easy to use and if have any questions can contact customer service for help will never need to buy book shelves again if you want to buy someone who loves to read this device would tell you it is worth every penny 1 latest generation kindle bought two of the new kindles they work as advertised and buying the 3g model lets me browse for new books and download anywhere you can get cell phone reception my wife and both have read at least two books on the new kindle within week of receiving the book have subscribed to magazine and read two issues on my kindle love and will use it daily 1 yes there is place for dedicated readers admit have been skeptical of the kindle from day in the age of large screen phones ipads and having kindle software for free on my pc why would ever want to buy dedicated reading device for about year now have regularly been reading books on my kindle for pc android and my ipod touch wanted something little bigger than my phone UNK UNK and portable seriously considered the ipad it is bigger easy to read and with touch screen should make books easy to highlight then saw the kindle all can say is the screen on this device is honestly amazing it is so easy to read it looks fake the device is easy to read for hours on end in low light room lighting and full sun outdoors the battery lasts longer than have ever needed it to what is really impressive is actually the ui after getting used to touch screens for highlighting or the simple mouse highlight on my pc was doubtful yet amazon has made the kindle very intuitive scrolling with the way is quick and easy and highlighting and notes are actually easier to do here than on my touch devices best of all everything is in sync across all my devices amazing the latest kindle software is also fantastic with the built in sharing to twitter and or facebook for UNK and comments that link to kindle site to include UNK from your books this new site kindle UNK amazon UNK com also allows you to review your own notes and highlights after years of doubt am sold the kindle is worth every penny anyone who thinks there isn place for dedicated reader should just go to store and look at the screen if not convinced immediately spend time reading on this compared to any other back lit device and you will know why it is so popular 1 very happy with kindle 3g my new kindle 3g was delivered the day before business trip to UNK my UNK flight was delayed by several hours by the UNK that hit UNK the day before so was stuck in the airport what great time to check out the kindle thought in word great extremely easy to use and read in no time at all was lost in great story well thought when finished it let try some downloading the airport wanted to charge 95 for wifi but my kindle 3g UNK at that and quickly downloaded some more books when finally got in the air the kindle was perfect in flight companion the non glare screen worked really well with the poor reading light in UNK class and was again UNK into UNK world not even UNK being UNK in like UNK same for the flight back same for reading at home in short this is great product very glad bought it and highly recommend it to anyone considering an reader one of my favorite features is the UNK that shows up when you power down great portraits of great UNK pictures etc nice touch 1 kindle 3g tremendous device fonts are attractive and size UNK to make books very readable works well outdoors the sun does not detract from readability huge selection of books available not too large very portable 1 only one problem have had the new kindle 3g wi fi for several weeks and really love it the only problem have found so far is that the 3g is pretty slow have kindle and don have this problem have not tried the wi fi yet because don have access but it takes forever to connect with edge which is what pops up when turn on wireless had no problems at all with my k2 using the wireless but now just shopping the kindle store from my kindle is too much of UNK so just use my computer other than that have only praise for the kindle love the smaller size UNK my favorite change is the new way controller it way easier to use than the k2 had to use my fingernail to navigate and almost always accidentally pressed it when didn want to the kindle is great and would definately recommend it to anyone who asks 1 brilliant love this thing the idea is fantastic and the functionality is terrific bought it to take overseas and the number and variety of books available means ll never have nothing to do on plane love it 1 kindle keeper my new kindle has provided me with many hours of reading pleasure already it is light perfect for train car travel it is easy to use UNK in its range of books but would like more australian authors 1 amazing got this as gift for my girlfriend and she loves it the screen is amazing on it the kindle is easy to use and get started right out of the box she can put it down 1 awesome purchase love it was skeptical as to whether or not would like kindle love reading and would sometimes read or more books week part of the fun of reading was turning the pages and seeing the progress was making in the book kindle doesn allow you to physically turn pages but it does offer bar at the bottom that allows you to see how far you ve read in the long run this is going to save me so much money because it is so much cheaper to purchase the books on amazon than to go to any store and buy them it also allows me to read easier while UNK with UNK while they watch their tv shows this is just an all around great product wish hadn had waited as long as did to get it 1 lightweight and mobile have had the latest kindle wireless for almost month now and love it although am still reading the odd printed book its hard to get away from the old fashioned feel love using the kindle for its light weight and portability it is easy to slip into the bag and then pull it out at any time when you have to sit around waiting as in coffee shop etc 1 everything you ever wanted in digital reader almost the latest generation kindle is perfect for what it is compact library that is tough easy to use and has excellent clarity of text the whispernet downloads purchases from amazon quickly and the reader can survive camping conditions sand backpack storage and pet UNK battery life is excellent for example used it everyday on week long UNK trip without any thought of UNK the only missing UNK is UNK screen which would be much needed feature UNK it will be added in later generation 1 kindle review enjoy the screen UNK and the capabilities of the product my only complaint is the sound quality of the voice when using this feature 1 loving it brought it for my UNK because he loves to read sometimes he carry some heavy books he often going to the book stores to buy it and read it at the book stores also going to the UNK to get his business journal on the UNK he like the idea to flipping pages it not the same without flipping pages he was using the kindle for couple of times and now he is loving it save him time and money just get it whenever and wherever he wanted it highly recommended to those who loves to read 1 love my kindle got my kindle about month ago right away downloaded book and began to read it was so simple to just read book of my choice and the print was so crisp and clear even in the sunlight the following day sat down and read through the instructions and it was like found an entirely new product love all of the features of this book it goes beyond just reading paper book as don have to transfer my notes to paper as the kindle does that with whatever underline don have to wonder about the meaning of word as it is right there can even see what parts of my book were of particular interest to other readers and best of all don have to load my briefcase or suitcase with heavy books can download my reference books for work my fun books for entertainment and my magazines for further UNK all into one small kindle ve been researching the various books out there and UNK the kindle was the best and now that have used it for month think made good choice thanks amazon 1 great product from amazon bought this for my wife and without doubt this is the best reader on the market the product itself feels well made is easy to use and is great to read on the setup of the device was also pain free the best thing about the kindle though is that amazon sells it the product itself is good but when you UNK that with the very well refined service you get from amazon it is great since it was gift wanted to pre install some books on it bought couple new ones and also some of the freebies at work as soon as turned the device on and it easily connected to my wi fi it started downloading all the content had purchased earlier in the day didn even look at an instruction manual and was UNK through all kinds of great content 1 kindle am so delighted with my kindle the only problem had was that didn understand wifi bought the less expensive version and wish had spent the extra 50 for the 3g love reading it however it is fun and easy to read also hardcover books can weigh ton but not the kindle 1 love my kindle am such book UNK read like books weekly so you can imagine the number of UNK to the library and the bookstore now don look like total geek and can carry all the books am reading in one hand really don know how got along without it kindle is perfect gift for anyone on your list who likes to read and better for those who don read so much UNK it will draw them into the wonderful world of books great for kids too and you can monitor what they are accessing 1 better than ipad tengo un ipad UNK eacute el kindle UNK el UNK precio del UNK UNK UNK con el ipad estoy muy UNK la lectura es aacute aacute UNK no UNK UNK la vista el ipad UNK la pantalla aacute UNK la interface es mejor pero en este UNK lo que UNK es un UNK de libros no 1 greatest invention ever this was gift and it rocks wasn sure that would like switching from real books to the electronic type but am now convert the portability is great but one of the things like best is that if finish book can instantly download new one from anywhere am at instant gratification 1 upgrade upgrade from original kindle to latest kindle UNK in UNK that the new one is light years ahead improved over the original more user friendly essentially UNK just bought one for daughter in law 1 serves purpose perfectly kindle won do many of the things laptop or tablet will do but if you want machine that will deliver books and periodicals to readable screen the kindle is perfect the kindle feel in your hand and the UNK friendly electronic ink make reading books and articles pleasure 1 never leave home without it have absolutely zero complaints about the kindle love how easy it is to purchase products on it really like the different cases and skins and also love how portable it is bought it because moved to south korea for year and knew wouldn be able to take all the books would want this is great way to do it and to still have access to an english bookstore the only complaint would have is that cannot download harry potter really hope that UNK allows her books to be ebooks soon 1 kindle rocks kindle is an amazing product when first opened the box with it inside thought the operating instructions were on piece of paper until failed to remove it many times finally realized that the paper was the screen downloading books is simple and quick and wouldn trade my kindle for any other ereader 1 love my kindle wanted one for over year held out until the new edition came out am loving it more every day am continuing to learn all the features have shown it to all my friends and now kindle is on their wish list it goes with me UNK safely UNK in its memory UNK case in my bag can pull it out and read anytime want to get one for yourself or someone who loves reading so worth the price 1 great gift UNK of these as gifts have given one so far and she absolutely loves it she says it is so great to be able to have so many books at my fingertips whenever choose to read them thank you for great product 1 the new kindle is better than ever the new kindle is well thought out lighter and easier to hold than the older models and the wireless and cell coverage makes it usable in more places 1 love it love my kindle so lightweight and compact easy to read can throw it in my purse and go everyone should get cover to protect it got the very nice UNK green one 1 so pleased we bought our kindle month ago and read from it every day just love it easier to hold on to than bulky book change the font size is breeze and the fact that you can download book in no time at all all holds alot of appeal for me have already recommended it to my friends it is great buy for any reader 1 almost replacement for printed books have read almost 20 ebook novels in the first month of owning my kindle have also read 000 pages of non kindle material the portability ease of use and ability to read via my phone pc laptop and desktop pc are the main reasons enjoy my kindle the one less than positive comment have is that some of the popular authors ebooks are too expensive for my liking UNK have found many new to me authors who have more UNK priced ebooks by adjusting the settings on my kindle wider margins larger print am able to view the page without much eye movement and read novels at much faster rate than printed books have also enjoyed the ability to play music while reading though don always remember to turn it on as it is so easy to start reading from the latest location all devices included so for anyone UNK about buying kindle say this it is means of entertainment and the cost of the device and the cost of many books is within the range that most people could now have one as for sharing the books well yes that isn possible at this time but then when the price is low enough it isn too much to expect everyone to buy their own copy fully expect that will read well over 100 novels within the first year of owning my kindle but will never give up the many books have throughout my home 1 enjoying my kindle purchased my kindle about month ago because love to read but do not like to have stacks of books everywhere down loading reading material is fast and easy with lots of choices do feel the price of the latest books are little expensive the print on the kindle is very clear and easy on my eyes the weight and the ease of moving from page to page is great the length of time the battery stays charged is real asset think will enjoy my kindle for many years and would recommend it to any one that likes to read 1 kindle 3g wi fi in australia this reading device is joy to use extremely easy to navigate and easy to download new material it lives up to the advertising material that was available to me prior to purchase had already purchased another brand of ereader and found it UNK so thank you kindle extremely comfortable to hold very easy to recharge 1 excellent travel lot and enjoy the option of being able to switch to audio and listen to books while driving also do most of my reading at night in bed and like the slim lightweight of the kindle friend has the nook and it is heavier and thicker 1 kindle love it no more waiting for book stores to order my book can start reading for my book club right away also love the font size no more reading glasses technically challenged so still figuring out the features but learning as go 1 excellent after week of usage pros excellent reading device in good lighting view can be rotated ways landscape is best excellent weight and form built in dictionary for quick look up move cursor over word to see definition webkit browser play mp3s randomly or in collection view pdf files excellent battery life fast 3g connection huge library of free books available internet text book archives cons text is blurry in low to medium light conditions like an hour or so before UNK it hard to describe but the UNK is kinda like the anti UNK fonts on linux when compared to clear type on windows can play music in background when in collection mode track pad buttons are too thin as others have complained way too expensive cover case what were they thinking wifi issues given the numbers of complaints got the 3g version to avoid those headaches the biggest surprise was how well it rendered pdf files have collection of more than 100 files on device in arabic english UNK and japanese and the quality is great some times you may have to zoom in but it really depends on how well you format the file 90 of the files in my library can be read without zooming 1 love my kindle for the last few years have found it difficult to read and that was one of my UNK the new kindle has UNK this ability to enjoy reading it is easy to use and in the three weeks have owned it have read five books am thrilled to death with this item and would recommend it to everyone can adjust the letter sizes that helps UNK poor lighting in my room and also find that there is no glare using it outside too many things to mention but just that would not be without it now 1 the best reader UNK no doubt it the best reader to date light clear thin fast it has everything wanted out of an reader and more the directional arrows work perfectly UNK off to the amazon UNK team 1 kindle kindly upside library in your pocket cheap enough no longer heavy UNK on your lap or in your bag it actually works very well in daylight in the sun we re talking about the bright UNK sun here whispernet is UNK downside buyers from within the UNK cannot buy the product from the uk but are UNK to the us site that means extra UNK with customs guys why is the android app restricted and not available in the same countries as where the kindle can be shipped to live in the european UNK and the app for android is only available for half the UNK countries while the kindle ships to all of them rather ridiculous and UNK would say this is still black and white and therefore it does not work as well with text books and UNK UNK books graphs in color pictures of software screens in color etc photos do look UNK though some features web browser text to voice are still bit UNK pages on the web take very long to display but amazon does correctly state that this feature is still experimental but then again this product is cheap enough to not have to be jack of all UNK it does one thing and it does it well 1 UNK pleased had waited very long time to purchase my kindle it was really about whether get kindle or wait to buy an ipad well ended up waiting for the wrong reason here is why the kindle is great the display my day UNK around computers for better than 12 hours days week generally at night my eyes can take staring at backlit screen for very long especially when reading well finally picked up the kindle about week ago and couldn be happier shocked to say that in the evening when tuck away my UNK laptop netbook the kindle is actually UNK to read from seriously ve downloaded three books and trial UNK and love everything back to reading almost two hours night which haven been able to do in years the satisfaction is UNK 1 kindle love my kindle it is easy to use great instructions the wonderful thing for me is that can set the larger print 1 take your library with you if you love to read and never go anywhere without book in your pocket then kindle was made for you it will never replace traditional books for me have extensive library of books from classics to the latest best sellers and love to pull book off the shelf and enjoy everything in it from the art on it dust jacket to the author last word however bought this kindle because it is so light and easy to carry when am on the go it does UNK attention have tried to read when waiting for appointments in airports on the plane and at the beach and usually UNK people who want to know all about it since do travel frequently love being able to take some of my favorite books and some new ones with me have only had the device for month and am enjoying it it is very easy on the eyes and easy to read in bright sunlight or dim light conditions amazon does offer large number of free books and some word games too the only drawback for me is not being able to get some of my favorite old books by favorite authors in the kindle format hope more of these will become available hope amazon will provide waiting for the book wish list and that many old titles will became available like old movies on UNK it is super easy to order books and have them on your kindle in seconds but also am going to have to watch my spending too the prices are reasonable but kindle will hold thousands of books and when am looking at books am like the kid in candy store want them all now think it is great device for people who love to read and want mobile library 1 best thing ve ever bought ve had my kindle for almost month now and must say that hands down it the coolest thing ever take it everywhere with me and find that read twice as much now know what everyone getting for christmas this year 1 kindle think it is amazing product that myself have alot of enjoyment from in only two week time that received my kindle it is easy to use and understand on almost all of the stuff it does would highly UNK the kindle to any one who is out there looking for this type of product 1 kindle is awesome just love my kindle no more sore wrist from heavy books or worry where to keep books it is just so great and just love it can say enough about it UNK UNK 1 kindle wireless reader with wi fi purchased my kindle from amazon after spending several weeks on ebay trying to beat amazon price without success am very happy with my kindle and use it daily have downloaded many books already and have read more during these last few weeks than have read in years one suggestion for the UNK of kindle is that they add row of number at the top of the keyboard even though can accomplish the task by using the alt key and the top row of letters otherwise have not found any other changes that would like addressed love my kindle 1 best purchase in long time do not wait having been wanting to get into the ebook readers for long time recently purchased kindle graphite my main hesitation was due to the small screen size was absolutely convinced wouldn be happy with it but the dx was little too expensive for an reader alone for 139 figured would give the wi fi kindle chance and sure glad did the kindle is lightweight and the screen is very clear adjusted the text size smaller which is the perfect amount of content on the screen at the right text size for me ve found the ink to be very good in all lighting conditions and am exceptionally impressed with it clarity the apple ipad was my next choice but the glare on the screen would have made it impossible to use as reader plus it little heavier and certainly more costly although more functional also unsure what value color would bring to an reader 1 incredible product this is my 2nd kindle had the 1st generation and loved it wanted something lighter and the availability of international download capability bought the 3rd generation 3g wifi kindle just returned from UNK and UNK and could download anywhere even in the UNK am one who cannot ride in the back of bus or read as passenger in the front seat of an UNK read full books while UNK in the back of bus for days never got car bus sick this is amazing also purchased the cover with the built in light it works beautifully while reading in bed or on very dark airplane during the night it is fast and very clear love it 1 love my kindle love my kindle it so easy to use light weight very easy to download books on to the kindle would recommended this for anyone that loves to read it UNK than trying to carry paper back book around which can be very heavy and big if you go to the dr office you get your kindle and start reading it then when you are called it one button and your place is saved until you come back love it love it 1 best thing since sliced bread for our 10 year anniversary we bought kindles since we are semi retired we now have the time to read more the best things about them are no books to store we are UNK and have been taking boxes of books to our local library they are so lite not heavy at UNK when we are reading in bed it finds the place we left off instantly so no bookmarks we don have to wait for new release or go out to buy one they are quickly on screen in seconds plus no shipping handling costs many books are free especially the classics and new releases are alot cheaper than in the bookstores or book clubs and no boxes to UNK definite plus we feel with the savings it more than pays for itself 1 kindle am very happy with my new kindle this is the first time have used one and found it very easy to operate and also to read would recommend it to all 1 my favorite electronics purchase ever love my kindle this is the first reader ve owned and use it all the time too much probably would recommend one to anyone who enjoys reading don worry about not having the books there are so many advantages to having the kindle that they UNK the few advantages of having the actual books and all the free or cheap books is great also started reading the paper on my kindle again for the first time in years my newspaper is there waiting for me every morning by 00 so cool and the whisper sink is awesome so many great features would recommend getting case though 1 the price is right when first heard about the kindle on the oprah show knew had to have it being on fixed income and retired also knew had to wait and save for it as luck would have it worked little for the UNK and earned few extra dollars and the kindle came down in price love it love it love it use it on the treadmill use it when have to wait in lines anywhere at the doctor office even have the bible on it and use it at church where ever am so is my kindle it is very user friendly sure beats UNK around heavy books 1 dramatic improvement over second generation was happy second generation kindle owner but could not resist getting the new revision the advertised improvements are all there faster screen refreshes dramatically improved contrast and better overall form factor reading books on feels just like reading from paper the pad is an incredible improvement over the old toggle switch the only complaint have is the new texture to the keyboard buttons it has very weird grippy feeling pros fast refresh UNK battery life easy to read great contrast overall improvement over the second generation cons weird feeling to the keyboard keys also the keyboard is horrible but who uses it anyways 1 like my kindle enjoy my kindle find reading on it is much easier then reading book can travel with it in my pocket and read while waiting for appointments it great and have encouraged others to get one 1 the best bought this kindle for my UNK he reads so much we have no more room for books not having ever seen one before was worried about the screen size and lighting he is so impressed with this item the screen readability is amazing and there are multiple font sizes to choose from the lighting on this device is perfect and does not create any eye strain he especially loves the quick downloads for books and all the free books amazon UNK and the dictionary feature is great too all you have to do is UNK over the word this is really great product for anyone who reads lot or has need to reference manuals etc it is thin light and the pages of your manual won wear out no matter how many times you have to reference them great great product 1 smart little reader ve been paperback reader for long time and read lot probably 25 paperbacks month so wasn sure was going to like the kindle paperbacks are so cheap and easily UNK but when the kindle reduced their price was won over to the electronic reading world and was not disappointed it is very easy to use downloading books are fast and the UNK of titles and authors are well lots of selections reading the kindle is very easy on the eyes and very comfortable to hold some books are little more expensive than regular paperbacks but there is no going to the store or web to look all over for them or storage or disposal of 25 paperbacks month if you want your kids to read more and UNK less get them kindle it fun easy and quick if you want to read in the UNK or at the beach just put it in UNK and your good to go having kindle is like having library in your own home without all the storage space just do it you ll love it 1 doctors UNK at recent UNK with my doctor told him about the recent purchase UNK my kindle and he was quite impressed that UNK would indulge in an UNK device like this he said it was very good for the mind and told him how easy it was to use and that could adjust the print and read it without my glasses another plus is that it fits in my UNK pocket so it is always with me especially for the long waits in the doctors office try you will like it 1 best choice this product is excellent can take every book want to read wherever go including out of the country it really easy to use and couldn be happier 1 awsome think this item is awesome never have the time to go to book store and read about the books to see what it is want to read next this way it gives me plenty of time to check out what would like to read then download it and read thank you for this new technology am enjoying it tremendously 1 great purchase put off buying kindle for long time read daily and have always loved holding book and turning the pages but finally UNK in the new kindle and love it getting books is so much faster and easier its so easy to read and the battery lasts forever the only complaint have is it does not have light but thats small problem totally recommend it to anyone 1 can believe how easy it works bought it for my wife who reads lot and she is really enjoying it she takes it everywhere so handy she loved the ability to enlarge the font and to down load samples to look at might not have needed the 3g but plan to keep it for while 1 UNK la UNK este ebook me he UNK el ebook UNK UNK UNK estoy UNK el UNK es UNK UNK UNK UNK te lo UNK espa ntilde sin UNK UNK de UNK en UNK UNK lo UNK UNK no UNK UNK UNK con los UNK de los UNK UNK te los UNK UNK por wifi desde UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK el libro te UNK ya UNK para leer UNK UNK UNK UNK audio books UNK UNK internet que para leer UNK UNK el UNK UNK UNK esta UNK bien desde UNK en

por internet por UNK que te UNK que la UNK en para el kindle UNK son muy UNK UNK que UNK UNK iacute ya es un UNK UNK UNK UNK no UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK 1 still learning like the concept behind the kindle as suffer from UNK at times it is very painful to type grasp or do anything with my hands the kindle can be set to UNK as well as to offer information or book the biggest problem have at this time getting started and UNK into my life is wifi need assistance on how to hook up at no additional cost from the home front but getting there and will have it figured out soon bought the kindle brought it up to canada for my daughter in law who is ms UNK she is still adjusting to that fact but at 23 thought the kindle would be good tool for her she is not ready for it yet so brought it back home as down deep really wanted it 1 my wife loves it gave this kindle 3g to my wife for her birthday she absolutely loves it and cant stop telling me how great it is she love the portability and that it easily fits into her purse the only thing she wishes it had is backlight for reading at night she purchased book light which works well for night reading would purchase this product again 1 bought kindle3 and nook bought nook one day before kindle3 UNK my wife took it instantly away from me she reading on it all day long so bought kindle3 for myself and to compare it with the nook kindle3 is thinner much lighter it has nice UNK finish and it is able to rotate the page quality of the screen is the same as in nook don care about wi fi mp3 and any other tech stuff just reading and can do it on kindle3 with easy recommend it to everyone who loves to read 0 is smaller always better no just started using the kindle had an original kindle which this has replaced the kindle is touted as being smaller than its predecessor but with the same screen size hey who asked for smaller kindle thought the original was just fine you ve managed to UNK UNK buttons into smaller field is that such good thing the way control button is impossible to correctly manipulate smaller is not always better and with this UNK into UNK world you have managed step backwards 1 kindle UNK though enjoy reading books in there conventional form the kindle is great because of it ease in taking with me when travel 1 love it love it decided to purchase kindle because after research it seemed to have the most UNK options and looks we are going out of the country for month and taking one item rather than many books was very appealing we have not gone yet but the kindle fits in my purse briefcase can pull it out while waiting in the dr office or anywhere downloading books is so easy and it only takes few minutes love it 1 kindle was worried when ordering this product there were many negative comments guess was lucky my kindle arrived in timely manner it is fully functional am not very computer savvy and was unsure about downloading books bought book on line through my amazon account it took maybe 15 20 seconds and the book was in my kindle very happy with my purchase another positive aspect is could never read in the car with out getting UNK sick can read my kindle as passenger in the car UNK not sure why UNK it because of the gray background lot of people said they prefer the feel of book this concerned me when reading my kindle don even think about the fact that it not an actual book enjoy reading it more than an actual book as the font is larger and don get light reflection off the white page my eyes are very light UNK and the gray background is lot easier on them 1 kindle or ipad answer yes with the first kindles was intrigued but thought they were bit clunky my friends had them and used number of the first two generations of kindles then the ipad was released and it was clearly far more capable and thought kindle was well dead but then the third generation kindle came out and the price was right and tried it wow great great display light enough to read in bed on my back try that with an ipad battery life that goes on and on and it syncs beautifully with kindle on my iphone so if delayed somewhere keep reading and everything just works the speed of the page switch is now unobtrusive there is no need to pick between ipad and kindle everyone should have both the ipad is device for computing whenever you re not at your desk the kindle is device for reading two different functions each UNK beautifully with an appropriate amount of UNK like kindle on the ipad and it UNK well there too no matter what else you have recommend getting kindle 1 awsome am completely and UNK in love with my kindle we only bought one for my husband and in the beginning but within week we had to have another one love reading more than anything in the world seriously and UNK 100 convinced that would like reading books in format but am UNK and so is my husband recently visited the usa and one of my biggest worry during travel is having enough books around no problem with kindle have more than UNK items on my kindle and even bought books in kindle format that have in hard copy so can read them again bought my husband book which was not available on kindle yet and he was so disappointed with having to hold real book again that we had to wait until it was actually available in kindle format and it is fantastic being able to take my books everywhere we read on the plane UNK 16 hour flight and now we discovered scrabble yay one of my colleagues saw my kindle and she got her and her husband kindles too my husband best friend got kindle thanks to our UNK love for UNK and so has my sister in law think might love my kindle more than my husband sorry dear 1 great reader got even better few years ago received surprise birthday present kindle wasn sure what to make of it at first but quickly grew to love it soon returned the favor though in the UNK few months she ended up getting kindle earlier this year gave away my original kindle and got kindle dx this was great except found that there are times need something smaller something can carry around with me all day then amazon released the latest kindle when the new kindle first arrived my first thought was my UNK the things tiny it looked so toy like and fragile the screen though seemed so bright as to almost be glowing after few weeks of use have refined my initial opinion little as follows it is small quite bit smaller than my wife kindle the kindle is of course smaller than my original kindle the dx of course is huge compared to any of the others have UNK used to the size of the dx yet it didn take me long to become perfectly comfortable with the new one it still feels small but no longer toy like on related note would often carry my original kindle around without the cover never had problem had planned on doing that with the new one after days ordered cover and am glad did the cover is great and believe more necessary on this one than any of the others have one on my dx and my wife on her kindle stupid question why did amazon wait until now to make the kindle black instead of white holding the kindle and UNK couple of feet apart the new one looks so much brighter bringing then up so that can compare the screens notice the new one is only very slight bit lighter and possibly not at all the dark color of the kindle itself though makes the screen stand out so the UNK print on the new kindle is darker than on any of the others not sure if it is the darker color or if the resolution is higher but it looks so much crisper the now familiar screen saver pictures really come to life it is in my opinion much easier to read in all lights am getting to the age where need to put on reading glasses if the light is little off increased the font on my dx to hold off on the glasses with the new kindle use small fonts and never touch my reading glasses because of the non reflective nature of the screen find it easier on my eyes than even most paper books read few books side by side with it under different lighting conditions just so could really test it few books not necessarily the UNK paper were easier on the eyes but the new kindle beat most particularly in poor light such as multiple weak sources causing glare at every angle ok if the UNK light were just UNK lighter and the UNK dark bit darker still this is huge improvement the kindle dx navigation was great improvement over the original kindle do like the kindle way control much better than the kindle dx particularly pressing straight down but don have much of opinion elsewhere bought the 3g version but wished had just taken the wi fi only version don download books all of the time and can always use my mi fi connection when on the road subscribe to the ny times and few magazines on my dx so need it there but don really have need with the new one still time 50 charge for free 3g forever pretty good deal the browser is still clunky one pet UNK why do mobile phones seem more UNK on 3g than the kindles if only it were better if would enjoy getting mail on it oh well still love to read on it and that about UNK it up the kindle has always been kind of trick UNK it is an amazing reader that you can use to purchase and read books almost anywhere with this new UNK this trick got even better and at an even better price there lot to love here 1 excellent ebook reader great device to read for long periods of time great price tons of features solid quality nice screen with relatively fast refresh rate the international version should include an international charger but it easy enough to use the usb cable to recharge every few weeks or so keep up the good work amazon 1 fantastic reading experience have had my kindle for about six weeks now and absolutely love it had lot of reservations before bought it so my UNK and decided to buy one to share it when we each went on holiday we soon realized that we re both going to need one because neither of us wanted to give it up when we came home it very easy to use beautiful screen and nice to read with it would be nice to get slightly better system for UNK books but it isn bad searching the kindle store can be little slow but ve used it enough and usually buy my books online anyway overall absolutely love this product and it amazing to be able to carry so many books around with you at once 1 love it can say it enough love it getting each of my daughters one for christmas and ve convinced several co workers that they have to have it easy to use easy to carry highly recommend it 1 love the built in dictionary love this product it is difficult to pick up book after reading kindle since it is very easy on the eyes my favorite feature is the built in dictionary love the ease of navigating the curser to word and having definition pop up also love the fact that you can download book and be reading it within 30 seconds opposed to waiting two weeks for book order to arrive it great for traveling since it so small you can put this in your purse with UNK of books to read at your fingertips love the fact that the kindle users guide is built in so you never have to go searching for paper version the instructions are very clear and easy to understand ve already downloaded an book and word document from my computer would highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone who is an avid reader thanks amazon for such great product 1 what kindle am really satisfied with my kindle it is easy to use and you can read any sized printing you want the books to buy are very reasonable and easy to download thru your computer best deal yet 1 top UNK reader UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK es im moment UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK per mail UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK in UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK es UNK UNK es UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK also UNK UNK man UNK UNK es UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK UNK kindle3 UNK UNK UNK 1 game changer was hesitant to buy kindle my UNK had shown me two of the previous versions and told me love it an avid reader wanted to hold out for something better touch screen perhaps when the price dropped to under 150 00 thought it can go much lower it is game changer get books immediately get free books on tuesday get samples of books think might like ve UNK several because of that don wait if you love to read this is the product for you 1 kindle 3g wireless display easy to use product well designed and very well made addictive can stop reading also own the larger kindle but hardly use it now as it can hold candle to this little baby this unit is faster has better resolution and is very light weight best reader on the market hands down 1 kindle had UNK with the idea couple of years ago of getting kindle what made me decide to get one was packing up all my books to move what hassle will never go through that again friend of mine had gotten one and he was telling me all the great points on having one so got one and love it no more trying to find room to put books having ton of them to pack when you move and now know that wherever go all my books come with me so if having the car fixed or waiting in dr office can pull out my kindle and read my books am not UNK savvy in any way and had it up and running in no time it is really user friendly and would recommend it highly 1 ease of use am very satisfied with the kindle ease of use quality of type good software could show improvement in ease of searching for chapters needs improvement written operating material could be improved UNK could reccomend product 1 awesome ve been waiting for kindle that actually UNK pleasing this one is quite small light and feels great in the hand the screen is beautiful great contrast and resolution also the page turns are very fast the only downside which one has to deal with is big brother amazon getting all sorts of information sent from your kindle hope there will be UNK to disable this calling home but in the meantime it terrible for any kind of UNK the price is right and the technology is pleasure would definitely recommend 1 can live without it ve had this for about weeks and have already downloaded and read books it great it only takes minutes and you have new book to read and don have have book shelf full of books was worried that wouldn be able to read outside in the sunlight because of the glare like so many cell phones but not this have no problem at all the only other thing that would be nice would be built in light to read at night 1 kindle love the kindle just wish the screen could be backlit for reading in low light 1 kindle 3g enjoyed reading with the kindle more than expected the convenience of getting my local newspaper or new book while sitting UNK on vacation was great was able to read it well in bright sun no complaints 1 love it there is nothing to write about love it it very easy to carry in my purse can read it UNK without the noise of the pages turning 1 great for kindle books UNK for pdf well designed easy to read versatile but as pdf reader it all but useless too slow and too difficult to maneuver through the files as long as you stick to amazon books or internet archive titles that are converted into kindle format you ll be fine personally still way prefer reading real books over reading kindle or any other readers but for certain types of reading it definitely has its place 1 love my kindle 3g love my kindle 3g it fast and with the kindle case that has the light which is powered by the kindle itself thus eliminating the need for any additional batteries it is an absolutely perfect device to read from on in any UNK 1 my new kindle really have enjoyed it for reading after years of trying to hold heavy books at night in bed 1 perfect single purpose device if you want device purely for reading it doesn get much better the display needs to be seen to really understand why it is so good while obviously reading books is what the kindle does best it UNK support is just as valuable and often overlooked if you ve ever gotten sick of reading long article on your computer screen UNK is your friend simply save the page to UNK and setup your UNK account to push those articles to your kindle if amazon would do this UNK like they do with books it would be even better as it would sync with the kindle app which you can get on other devices like phones when you are on the go and want to continue reading the ability to share quotes on twitter and facebook is also handy as is the instant dictionary definitions if the device stays at home don bother with case it just makes the device larger and heavier but if you do take it out and decide on case spend the extra and get the version with built in light it well worth the extra UNK and is powered off the kindle battery so no need to UNK about 1 oh so wonderful was little leery of purchasing this item because love all the things that book brings the weight the smell the satisfaction closing it after you have read the last page but was talked into the purchase by several people and really hate saying it but they were absolutely correct love this product it not exactly the same as reading book however the convenience factor is UNK plan on UNK all the book lovers in my life until they make this purchase it is more than worth the money 1 the kindle experience we finally broke down and bought one of these and to our UNK have taken liking to it and the ease of use here are the good and bad we have noticed if you care first there is no back light and it would be nice at UNK in bed we should be doing other things anyway UNK UNK second don think the library is complete enough yet on the other hand it is easy to use and nice to know that you don have to stuff suitcase in order to satisfy almost all your vacation needs ll be happy to share my reading list upon request UNK UNK com have fun 1 kindle 3g wireless this kindle is so much better than the first kindle the pictures are superb and the print is much easier to read the kindle itself is lighter and easier to hold the controls from turning pages to turning it on and off are more intuitive and easier to use originally was reluctant to purchase another kindle what would do with the one already had but am very glad did get this newer one the improvements are terrific would fully recommend it to anyone 1 kindle white 3g with inch display review over all great product no serious complaints or issues arrived on time does what they claimed it would do the way they claimed it would lots of free books and feels much easier on the eye too read then on pc or tablet should not that live in area with good 3g reception so haven had to try the wi fi 1 wish had gotten this sooner this kindle is the greatest only wish had gotten one sooner downloading is snap the size of the reading screen is about the same as paperback book carry it in my purse wherever go great 1 just love my UNK can only say wished had gotten this long long time before just love the way it UNK the way can read this anywhere 1 good device is very good device very portable and nice from mexico and when knew about this device order it and received in less then week small enough to be portable and the screen is large enough to have an easy reading experience also the native pdf support is great but documents look small and found little difficult to handle them in that way but if you convert it using mobipocket or another UNK software they become easy to read only wish more dictionaries in another languages specially spanish my native language the price is fair and worst each dollar highly recommended 1 in love and thought never fall in love again but there it is love my new kindle it arrived late yesterday charged it and then started reading pride and prejudice book currently doing with my UNK yes an english teacher with macular degeneration UNK and UNK of other eye UNK it gotten harder and harder for me to see the standard page and reading just isn what it used to be but my kindle has made it really easy the print is crisp can adjust the font size and there absolutely no glare something those of us with UNK have huge issues with as someone who has spent her life reading now know can continue to do so or if not the technology allows me to hear the printed page life is good my book of choice is now the kindle 3g wifi display 1 wow screen improvement is impressive ve been very happy with my kindle in many ways but have always been bit disappointed with the screen contrast so hesitated to buy kindle but eventually UNK and am very glad did wow the screen improvement is impressive not only is the contrast hugely better and the background closer to white and the black casing adds to the sharpness but the fonts themselves are hugely better the end result is UNK sharp letters on slightly off white background it like super paper back it much easier to read than any paper back ve read in the last 10 years you could easily read this all day without eye fatigue and the wifi connects so quickly to my home network when switch it on and downloads so UNK compared to the 3g whispernet thing which is slow in my area again am delighted if you re wondering whether to upgrade do it 1 who would have guessed caught in mexico with no good books to read broke my own UNK on purchasing new electrical UNK and UNK to buy the UNK kindle it sat on my desk for few days and then had glass of UNK and UNK in to make it work for me am now UNK convert favorite uses include at airports where it small size and light weight make it perfect to use in tight spaces and also in bed especially if on my side recommend purchasing the cover with the little light making the kindle even more useful 1 kindle greatest thing since sliced bread this thing is great you can carry it with you anywhere and when you finish your book you have many more books with you so you can just start reading again when you want to order new book you have it in seconds instead of going to the store or waiting week or so to receive it in the mail this is easy to read inside or outside 1 kindle turned me into reading UNK think might have form of UNK but ve never been tested for it reading paragraphs in novels is difficult thing for me the UNK and words sometimes get UNK making them hard to read with the kindle you can choose the size of the text and how wide apart the UNK are my favorite feature is the text to speech feature which helps great deal for books that enable it be sure to check and see if the text to speech is enabled before buying particular book would whole UNK recommend the kindle to people like myself who are UNK by books due to words getting UNK up for them anyone who thinks well my laptop or pc can do that too so the kindle would be waste of money it not the same thing since being an ebook reader is all the kindle really does you will be more focused and not get distracted by mail facebook etc love the kindle it opened up whole new world for me it might for you too 1 wish could download library books couple of coworkers have the nook readers they have commented that they are able to download free books straight from their local public libraries websites checked my local public library to see if could do the same however as of right now that is not the case if you don mind that you cannot download the books from your local public library than its not an issue but wish could have that option as well as being limited to amazon com only 1 love my kindle purchased kindle year ago when the price was 300 and have no regrets if my kindle broke today would replace it tomorrow even 300 pretty avid reader but have only purchased to 10 books the rest have gotten for free 1 sleep with my kindle am 80 years of age but had no problem UNK to my kindle even carried it to my sunday school class and UNK show and tell session suggested that my UNK tell their children and grandchildren to order kindle for them for christmas we have too many pictures sitting around collecting dust give us something to use on my second UNK UNK UNK reviewing newspapers and UNK novel rule against UNK glad didn wait until christmas funny my daughter had already purchased one for me now she is enjoying it this is my first experience ordering from amazon that has been an enjoyable experience as well 1 happy husband with UNK gift this kindle was perfect gift for my husband he travels alot and he loves the kindle only complaint is that he wishes it was backlit 1 amazing for traveling the beach in bed this thing is amazing love traveling with it since can carry however many books want and buy more when hear about another new popular book it also pretty awesome reading it in bed since when you re laying down you don have to deal with UNK it open while you are trying to relax and read and now that it well under 200 it definitely worth the price 1 excellent product at the UNK was UNK now that have it can not do without it it is my everyday companion 1 upgrading from k2 to k3 was great idea have had us k2 for about year and half now and love it it goes with me everywhere and has really come in handy during the times when traveling or on vacation so initially was on the fence about whether or not really needed upgrade to the newest model however after seeing UNK model for myself gave in and ordered the wifi 3g model and so glad did think that with the new k3 they have taken everything that was already great about the product and made it even better more space for books and or music longer lasting battery just love the smaller size smaller page turn buttons and feel like it easier to type quickly on the keyboard at the bottom the keys seem quieter also especially the page turning buttons and the contrast didn think it could be that much of difference but it really is incredibly clear bold and the words just seem to pop out of the screen wow such an improvement over the k2 the one thing not crazy about is the off switch now being on the bottom of the kindle instead of the top but give me few days and sure won even think about it just something different ll have to get used to also like the new graphite model might not even need to get skin since the sides just seem to fade rather than stick out when read all in all if you travel lot or just love reading books definitely recommend getting kindle you ll love it 1 love it very user friendly plan on using it lot this UNK like that you can read it out in bright light wish cell phones were the same way 1 kindle 3g am an avid reader and was tired of UNK books waited years before making the jump to kindle and am so glad did not only can bring my library UNK go but it saves so much space sometimes it is hard to carry book in my purse but kindle is always with me overall would rate this UNK as UNK and very good investment having some of the classics for free is also an UNK bonus this is very nice gadget to have and this is from person that UNK cell phones and does not text 1 good product works as advertised the only reason did not give it five stars is because still trying to figure out comfortable way of holding it 1 the best thing since sliced bread the kindle can be taken anywhere have taken it to the beach to work to read at lunch time and most importantly to the UNK UNK with the wifi and the 3g can download book even when we are in the middle of no where do not have to pack several books at one time it is all in one device this is must have for anyone who likes to read and great price too 1 kindle gen actually got it little earlier than expected so far my wife really likes it 1 just as valuable as the ipad very light weight and easy to carry in pocket excellent for use in sun light and battery lasts forever days as opposed to hours free wifi 3g is very nice as is the web browser down sides no touch screen and screen is in black and white in summary well worth the money 1 brilliant product and excellent delivery days almost to the minute between placing the order and arrival at the secure UNK at my apartment in japan that impressive so is the product itself seamlessly UNK books whether purchased on line from the machine or the website emailed pdfs are very useful easy for me to hold with one hand on crowded UNK trains and turning pages with UNK of the thumb ink is easy to read no eye strain very pleased 1 excellent product more than UNK purchased the kindle 3g for reading purposes much to my surprise found that could surf the internet at no additional cost as the 3g concept runs off phone lines just an added bonus for me best present ve ever bought myself and would recommend it to anyone 1 great item great device now am looking for all the favorite title in kindle format and cannot get enough 1 great convenient fun fun fun love my kindle 3g love that can buy book anywhere well not on the plane love that it fits in my purse and that have choice of multiple books to read love that can change the font size love that can get UNK magazines and books oh my UNK didn think would love it this much put off buying reading device because love the feel of books but really it solved other problems like my sore wrists from holding up heavy books reading in bed is easier can hold it with one hand and turn the page with the same hand so can read in the long line at the UNK and the anti glare feature makes it easy to read in direct sun light do miss the UNK smell of my old books but maybe need candle UNK library UNK love getting the sample prior to buying the book keep getting into the sample and then wanting the next chapter sold there are still books like access to which haven been able to get notable food women god sure that there will be more but for now happy 1 great product just bought it and love it light simple to use can bring with me lots to read and get them right now by download 1 latest and greatest upgraded from the 2nd generation to this latest generation and its amazing pdf are beautiful really fast page turning the web browser is extremely functional and loads native full html pages and the wi fi works flawlessly incredible battery life even with wi fi on take it everywhere with me now and the global 3g is well worth the extra 40 must buy 1 love the kindle what can say that other reviewers have not said absolutely love my kindle was worried to get it because love books so much love the smell and feel of books but this is wonderful don have to tote many books on vacation can switch books when get bored or need change can buy book anywhere in my house or other places with the wifi bought book at my UNK we don have wifi there got on amazon bought it and when got home UNK in turned on my kindle and within seconds my book was there easy don have much in the way of criticism think the entire thing is easy to use am not techie and really hate un UNK computers and devices this is easy and fun everything is easy to navigate and makes the whole experience enjoyable highly recommended 1 worth the wait ve had the kindle for about month and love reading with it it is definitely for fiction titles only as if there are any illustrations they can be hard or impossible to read but bought it to read fiction so am extremely happy its actually easier to read than book because you don have to hold the pages apart you can rest it on table your lap or UNK to read reading in low light is ok basically if the light is ok to read book you can read kindle the screen size if ok for fiction titles thought it may be bit small but its all good highly recommend the kindle kindle book price comment my only gripe is more with amazon pricing of kindle books because mine is wi fi version using my UNK to download the book so why isn the book cheaper suppose also have an issue with the paperback book price being similar or even cheaper than the kindle book price please explain the UNK in that obviously everyone wants their UNK of the price pie but single file UNK on server must be many times cheaper than thousands of paperback books sitting in UNK 1 if you love to read you ll love the kindle about six months ago someone at work who saw me reading all the time asked me if would buy kindle told him no way then tried kindle for pc liked it and bought kindle 1st gen loved it so bought 2nd kindle latest gen wifi and loaned the original to my wonderful daughter in law she loved it couldn get it back so bought third kindle latest gen 3g because wanted the 3g capability my wife had told me she didn like the readers she liked to hold the book in her hand she doesn normally like the new techie stuff so on our UNK anniversary decided to give her the wifi unit but didn have much hope for it being liked she loved it we seldom watch tv now we are both usually busy reading our kindles we love the large UNK of free classics we like the ability of sharing the same reading interest and books we love never losing one of our favorites and we love the built in dictionary so you never have to wonder what word means at work two people have bought kindle since seeing mine one other has bought and at least three others are planning to give daughter or spouse kindle for the upcoming holidays know this is long review but this is probably the best product ever for person who enjoys reading 1 kindle love it now can read all the books that have meant to read for long time 1 best ebook reader by far by far the kindle is the best ereader have ever tested the screen refresh is amazingly fast compared to other readers UNK nook UNK the ui is easy to navigate and the 3g web browsing while not great is nice touch when need to look up something on wikipedia on the go it has become my UNK guide to the UNK 1 remarkable just have my kindle for two days and cannot believe how wonderful it is being able to adjust the text size for my eyesight is definite plus with all its advantages am looking forward to taking long plane trips and enjoying my readings thank you 1 almost perfect just love it all the UNK have already been UNK here so just going to add one more the free kindle mail to which you can send your personal documents and have them delivered through wi fi connection amazing use it all the time and have another person sending me documents as well now the little and really annoying UNK have found UNK pdf reading because read lot of UNK articles it really hard to make kindle underline specific passage sometimes he UNK totally different passage than the one you told him to and just don understand why he does it one of the main reasons bought kindle for was to prevent having to print articles just to make my notes and to underline passages that are useful to me and that expectation was not UNK by kindle unfortunately 1 didn think like it but if you love the feel of printed books then the kindle might not be for you but if you love being able to finish one book in series and within minutes down load the next book while never leaving your couch then the kindle is for you being able to slip this thing loaded with ton of books in your purse and go then this is for you can fit paperback in my purse but just went on bus trip yesterday with 14 books on my kindle and all but were free try it you won regret it 0 terrible customer service after just one month of operation my kindle screen started to show UNK cross line pattern and nothing tried was able to make it back UNK the funny thing is that after calls to the customer service and talking with different people still have no UNK about what do need to do to send it to amazon to replace it even after them UNK that is the UNK thing to do and even more interesting is that after talking with those people have receive mails asking for my opinion about the service if amazon were more focused on UNK the issue have rather than asking my opinion every minutes will be much less UNK that am now ve barnes noble retail shop in front of my hotel window and seriously tempted to go there an buy nook think that the technology is not still well proven for this version so will stay away from it and buy something rock solid hope this help you out there 1 wife dont talk to me bought this for my wife UNK birthday and she dont put it down she just loves it and once learned more about this little book that holds so many books think it the coolest thing since water the download is so fast easy and the cost of books are cut in half buying from amazon great idea great gift and she dont talk to me anymore win win just kidding she UNK what UNK UNK and think you for the fast service by UNK it right to my door also bought the leather cover with the light this is great cover and the light works so good couldnt believe it we go to bed all lights off go to sleep and she reads with her little light on the cover and it dont bother me at all if you buy the kindle trust me buy the cover with the light and oh ya the light works of the kindle UNK couldnt of bought better gift UNK so guy buy yourself one or you loved one one of these if they like to read its really really cool and small as it it UNK UNK 1 wow reviewed alot of ereaders before finally made my purchase have had my kindle for little over month so far love it it is so easy to use can even go to the UNK and get books when run out of reading material bought the 3g model and have UNK no UNK yet and im pretty sure wont 1 kindle love my kindle it makes reading real pleasure the only thing would change is to have it backlit so you wouldn need book light 1 UNK love it use it every day not being restricted to only one book having choices is great it so easy to use can say enough good things about it 1 everything wanted in an reader this is my first reader and did lot of research before making my purchase after reading reviews playing with actual devices and talking with people had UNK my choices to the kindle and the nook these two were the UNK ones that really gave me everything was looking for and were very easy to use the kindle latest generation really has the perfect screen size and is easy to read wherever you are sunlight or lamp light the device itself is lightweight and fits easily inside my purse the pages turn quickly and the options are user friendly really have no complaints about the device as it has met my needs perfectly 1 love it love it it is so great to have so many books just click away only wish it had back light for reading in dimmer areas 1 as early adopter like this version but controls should be on top this is my third kindle received first version upon its initial release as gift was at first skeptical as so many people are quickly grew to adore it am sure that sold many devices for amazon based on so many people asking me about it on subway in nyc nearly everyday won go into the whole reader vs book debate but will state that have always bought and read lots of books but the kindle has substantially increased my volume of book buying and reading people it is not about doing away with books it makes reading easier more accessible UNK anyway second generation resolved nearly all of my design quibbles with first version about this version really like smaller keyboard brighter screen gray color don like the controls at the bottom of the device have never used cover for device just hold it in my hand this is smallest UNK version yet but having the various UNK and switches at the bottom of device make it UNK less comfortable to hold for extended periods and have turned it to standby mode many times by accident with simple move of my finger why not return these parts to top of device and make it more comfortable and smooth to hold at it base 1 reads like book lightweight and easy to use the kindle lets me carry more books than could possibly read and doesn strain my eyes as read like reading from computer screen can would recommend this device to anyone 1 love it what can say love the kindle it has gotten me back to reading 0 should customers be limited to graphite version think the latest version of kindle is great live in UNK UNK and in fact intend to purchase the white colour because think it would really disappear while reading but just knew UNK the white version is not available for the 3g wifi international version so all readers in my UNK are limited to the graphite version am sure kindle is great choice to purchase but it really unfortunate to have limited us to certain colour wish adjustment can be made accordingly so we can be enjoyed reading with kindle same as in other countries 1 awesome ve always wanted kindle but was hesitant to buy one didn know if like reading books without physically having it in hand was wrong love my kindle ve only had it about month and still have lot to learn haven learned all that it can do but so glad bought one have the 3g wireless upon the recommendation of friend say buy one you ll be glad you did 1 my choice is kindle received my kindle this past thursday 10 21 10 before choosing the kindle UNK over which reader to purchase considered sony nook UNK UNK and just about every other reader on the market went to border and best buy to play with their readers read every review that could find on the web concerning readers and then chose the kindle found the kindle to be what was looking for dedicated reader that does its job better than all the others did like the nook but personally thought the color screen is just UNK and really not good for much also did not like the feel of the touch screen keyboard as for book availability and ease of purchase amazon is so very easy to use as for free books and or the library loan feature available to the nook and others after researching book availability at my libraries found the selections UNK and if you research the UNK for free books on the amazon com website millions are available from many sites so the kindle not having the library lending feature was to me also UNK point but even then should you find book not in kindle format amazon will most likely re format the book for you free of charge have also found the browser to be quite useful did decide to purchase the 189 kindle for the added 3g feature and have been very pleased with its UNK have also found the amazon support of the kindle to be more that satisfactory the entire purchase set up and on going UNK has been very well thought out and executed by amazon so if you read great deal as do several 400 page books week buy the best my opinion buy kindle 1 kindle after hearing about readers for awhile and being the ever skeptic did some serious digging and comparing before purchasing the kindle am an avid reader and thought that replacing book the smell the feel with something electronic would be less UNK experience boy was wrong it UNK me how can begin to read on my kindle and then fall into the book as if were still holding printed copy the fact that can sit anywhere especially in bed and read novel on something that is as light as feather is huge plus knowing that when travel can bring several books with me on my kindle and not have to lug heavy books around is amazing some of the features enjoy are the dictionary downloading samples of books to decide if want to purchase or not the ability to subscribe to newspapers and magazines and being able to download games as change of pace some of the features like to change am not quite sure of the need for menu button home button and the five way dont think you need all of those buttons also sometimes it hard to decide how where to hold the device so dont hit the page buttons or the keyboard overall the light weight and the fact that do feel like am reading printed copy are what completely sell me on this product have had my kindle for month now and have downloaded few different items and am UNK new things every time pick it up would definitely recommend this to those who were like me UNK unsure 1 best purchase made since bought my house bought my kindle on saturday for birthday present for myself at target got the white one and love it have over 60 books on my kindle most of which were free its very light weight and it fits in my purse take it with my to work and then home and its great cant get over how much info it holds enjoy the part that can put my itunes on there as well 1 my new kindle lost my original kindle year ago so was thrilled to find everything that had been on it was archived for me was even able to go to the last page of the book was reading when it went missing so thrilled with my new kindle that am constantly giving UNK on it and so far one person as ordered his own kindle and three others are planning on get one for their UNK for christmas can get UNK 1 wonderful the kindle is great love to read and was tired of carrying books around with me their so heavy bulky and burdensome especially when traveling so decided give the kindle try and happy did it light in weight you can read in the sun never lose your page or the UNK you can read newspapers look up words since it has dictionary in it wouldn hesitate to suggest anyone on buying this product purchased this at amazon and received it within week then ordered the red leather with lite cover for it to protect it this is great item no doubt 1 UNK have mac and ipod touch my dad got me this kindle to help me with UNK reading and UNK it to that purpose read my kindle every day and show it off at school my friends want one and are reading more to prove to their parents that it won be UNK of money 1 my new kindle3 just love all the new features on my kindle3 was so happy that everything was UNK from my kindle2 without having to do anything the size is just perfect as it now fits securely in my pocketbook needless to say don go anywhere without it 1 very happy with the kindle have had my kindle for over month now and can hardly put it down it is light weight and very simple to use like that can adjust the size of print to what is comfortable to my eyes and also that can get book magazine or UNK anywhere or anytime in just 30 seconds feel that the value was worth the investment 1 kindle worth buying the latest generation own the kindle and love it but mine was prior to international version so when the kindle came out UNK even better eink technology international wi fi 3g and available in graphite decided an upgrade was due and the hubby got my kindle easy to transfer my stuff to the kindle and it works great best reader for reading indoors and outdoors 1 UNK kindle was hesitant at first to spend the money on this device when the library is so close to my home but thrilled with it and have encouraged family and friends to consider buying one also ve taken my kindle everywhere and people stop me to ask about it it been fun to explain the UNK and ease of finding books to read at any given moment the only problem seem to have with my kindle is that can seem to put the darn thing down 1 the best thing for readers kindle what can say except it is the best thing have bought for years what wonderful use of technology the UNK for readers easy to read light weight easy and fast to download books seconds wi fi many free love love love this product have read more books in the months have had it than have in years love the dictionary and favourite clippings quotes my sister recommended this to me and now all my relatives and friends who recommended it to have bought one 1 very good but not suitable for large pdfs after years of reading electronic documents on lcd pda etc it was for me big UNK how good is the contrast of eink display kindle have planned to use it mainly for reading of pdf documents eg UNK etc have realized that for this purpose the screen is too small because pdf reader does not offer the zoom with UNK scale just 100 150 etc this is of course problem because either you see small font or not the whole page converting of pdfs to ebook format mobi is possible but takes time and in most pdf documents you loose the UNK so it is very hardly UNK it is god product for ebooks but not pdfs which need will use it further as gift in the family and ordered for me kindle dx which should be more suitable if you need ebooks reading go for kindle it should be ok if you will read UNK pdfs then look rather for kindle dx 1 love it love it can say enough good things about my kindle no longer have to tote UNK of UNK papers to meetings send them to my kindle and have all the reference need to write academic UNK there 1 must buy hesitated purchasing an reader because love reading hard copies of books but can not express how much love my kindle this version is so easy to use made my first two book purchases lying in bed it doesn get more comfortable or convenient than that 1 kindle 3g UNK reading device absolutely wonderful enjoying reading on my new kindle it is light and easy to read and like the bookmark and fonts which can change do wish that some of the newer books had lower price so that my only negative comment 1 frustration got kindle wifi as gift which was great except do not have wifi in my home no problem will go to my first convenient third space the local library kindle was not accepted in small libraries and then all the hotels need code the only place UNK could have gone was mcdonalds which is not my speed finally loaded some books only to get home an find out they not only needed to be UNK but also downloaded which did not do in frustration turned my wifi into 3g wireless wifi and love it so if you are buying gift know that it might be easier for the person to travel use UNK kindle with 3g 1 great christmas present got this for my wife for christmas and started playing with it wow it really neat reading device think will have to get another one 1 UNK review really have not used it much except to load some titles it will be my christmas present from my husband you know what they say if you want something buy it and have him wrap it for gift lol 1 daughter loves her early christmas gift my daughter asked for kindle for christmas her mother and her UNK each have one and she wanted one since she was able to hands on check the kindle out gave it to her early just because she love it and is working it hard the kindle has become great device for our family members it mostly likely has for many others and will continue to be great device for some time to come get one and enjoy UNK 1 easy as pie this little gem delivers the screen display is great crisp the downloads are easy and available almost anywhere love the ability to change font size screen orientation it easy to search the kindle store although do wish you could search for books by author it really light and portable also enjoy the audio capability the only downside to the kindle is surfing the web but really don have reason to use that my friends are all jealous 1 as good as it gets absolutely love my kindle free 3g wi fi it has worked beautifully and it so light weight even with the amazon leather cover with built in reading light that bought for it it only weighs about UNK all together books download quickly and the free 3g was big factor for me live in rural area with UNK UNK that is only available by UNK and UNK UNK have fair access policy that limits what can download or upload free 3g makes the fair access policy non issue when using my kindle the screen is very readable in UNK any light and the text UNK is perfect plan on buying one each for my wife and daughter for christmas presents kindle is great great product and highly recommend it with no reservations UNK 1 new kindle love the new kindle it has so many features and the size is just right 1 best invention think in my opinion that this was fantastic invention am so pleased with my purchase that have been showing it to people that work with and they also think that it is amazing that some of them are considering buying one love it 0 kindle not UNK friendly with poor vision was anxious to get the kindle but then disappointed with features which made it impossible to use this may indicate it is not senior friendly the tiny keyboard is almost impossible to use with strong UNK UNK and arthritic fingers the manual brief explanation try to cover too many topics with not enough detail on many the call center UNK ill informed UNK with difficult UNK was disappointed when had to return it as less than functional in my case 1 fabulous kindle love it take it to school and read during free time it light weight and just the right size also love the cover case pink all my family members want one also 1 great reader have been thinking of UNK an book for year had some doubts about the usability have finally purchased the latest kindle2 wifi only version must say am very satisfied it is much better to use than UNK real companion 1 kindle almost perfect enjoy almost everything about my new kindle the convenience and design of the product the only thing dissatisfied about is its inability to display special characters like UNK UNK UNK letters etc if there is way to address these problems through some configuration setting appreciate if someone on your technical staff could show me 0 not satisfied it would be my pleasure to review this product if in fact ever received it UNK of un acceptable delays on amazon UNK cancelled the purchase would also like to add that this product is lot more expensive than advertised if you are an UNK buyer if were allowed to buy the same product from the uk would save considerable amount of money in the finish UNK customers are being UNK off 1 excellent my kindle was worth UNK penny spent it light weight easy to use and easy on the eyes it makes reading so much more enjoyable 1 increased reading joy and ease great product lots of thought UNK user friendly design specific positives UNK to book haven used the UNK feature yet small size and weight less than many paperbacks lets you take it with you for short reading periods in your day it opens automatically to where you left off stays open beside your UNK for reading while eating short line length seems to increase my reading speed quick availability of book saves my time getting the book at library or bookstore or from friend or even from amazon long battery life if you turn off the wifi several dozen page sample of possible purchase so you can be sure cancel book purchase made by mistake if you do it quickly great for UNK or someone who reads away from home no more need for more bookshelves read now where impossible before with audio feature or with light and friend driving at night specific negatives difficult to navigate skipping in order to UNK use index figure out how to use feature during early learning can lend book to friend without being UNK of your kindle publisher cost should be less for an book than new book discounted at bookstore UNK UNK war 0 great product not so great customer service very nice product at an affordable price point my personal take of kindle compared to physical book gave it stars since the pros greatly UNK the cons to me pros eliminates clutter from huge books able to be read UNK in several positions one handed light fixed weight compared to books no need for bookmarks anymore built in dictionary is extremely useful progress indicator at the bottom eliminates habit of turning to see last page number occasionally on physical book UNK friends would not be able to tell what you are reading useful if you are reading something you may find UNK cons needs recharge every UNK of use fonts are currently limited to UNK some books are still not in book format battery is not user replaceable very inconvenient for buyers like me who do not UNK in the freezes or restarts occasionally on version at least moving rapidly between pages is not possible since the kindle takes time to respond edit 27th november 2010 rating is changed from stars to so that people might take notice of what they might experience buying this kindle after purchasing my 2nd kindle noticed that the sluggish on off switch was in fact defect in my 1st kindle this problem UNK to the point where the switch could be stuck on the on side like there was UNK UNK inside contacted amazon customer service only to be greatly disappointed with the UNK goal of wanting to be earth most customer UNK company emails back and forth cs contained large amount of copy and UNK responses which made me feel like am communicating with robot eventually replacement was sent via priority mail impressive and UNK emails gave me the impression that would be getting brand new unit replacement finally came but was UNK UNK at dirt and UNK found on replacement faded button and case which has obvious UNK of being opened before so in short was replacing one problem with other problems and god knows what other problem could have UNK from its previous owner doesn customer service realize that if the customer is going to return the product back and forth enough times the cost of shipping UNK to emails would have exceeded the savings obtained from sending him her refurbished unit which has higher chance of not being up to standards have decided not to UNK this case and live with the UNK problems with this refurbished unit not worth UNK it with possibly some other internal problems perhaps am but the small UNK UNK to experience this but for now amazon to me is just earth most customer UNK company sometimes hope this changes over time and can be happy customer in the future 1 never thought would give up my paperbacks really thought would have hard time giving up my paperbacks but the adjustment to the kindle was seamless the adjustable font and almost instant download of books are the top two features enjoy on the kindle the only thing missing is built in light for night time reading of course you can purchase one but would have preferred something built in the kindle technology rates up there with the ipod in my book no UNK intended 1 enjoying my kindles at first the light touch of the side buttons had me turning the pages too soon but in no time adjusted to the feel of it this is my 2nd kindle my husband and daughter constantly kept borrowing my first ended up buying new kindles just to be able to finish my readings my original kindle is several years old and it works beautifully in addition to this great device there is the wonderful support staff with superb availability great UNK UNK and excellent service UNK UNK 1 love it love the new format the 3g and the wireless fabulous highly recommended just the right size 1 forced to buy and love it was forced to buy the kindle when could not get my class textbook in time for my first UNK because everyone was sold out but it was available on the kindle well suppose everything happens for reason because love it it is small sleek and comfortable to hold reading the pages are breeze and the matte screen is awesome because it doesn create glare or give headache after hours of use charge it every few weeks and have never had it die on me and don turn it off only put it in sleep mode never read before getting this thing because the size and shape as well as the turning of pages in books UNK me but now read daily and not just the materials for my class the only annoyance with the kindle is how often am UNK when people see that have one and want to check it out because they think its awesome and want one of their own must have for anyone 1 love it love it love it bought kindle about year ago and loved it so much bought the new 3g for myself and passed the first kindle on to my husband after had the first one for about month we UNK to mexico and came to the conclusion that the international version would have been better choice had downloaded plenty of books to see me through but realized that could access the internet email weather etc with this handy device and didn need to lug my laptop on vacation so this time around purchased the global version take it everywhere just slip it in my purse or pocket it super light the font size adjustment is amazing that what intrigued me originally the idea that every book could be large size print it changed the way read sample anything that interest me that really cool feature UNK own tiny store in UNK UNK and am lucky enough to speak to lot of different people all day long ll often UNK the question so what are you reading these days and mention the kindle if they don already own one the response is always like the feel of book in my hands ll say that still read paper books but that reading doesn feel any different to me the act of reading seems to be seamless in any medium but that doesn seem to impress the non kindle people the only con for me in both of my kindles is the lack of backlight for reading in bed love love love the ability to read outside in strong sunlight but would like night light as well guess that technology doesn exist yet 1 very nice reading quite easy to use very easy to read key board bit hard to use because of size good instructions 1 pleased with purchase got the 3g graphite with the kindle lighted cover love them both would not hesitate to recommend this is my 4th kindle bought for myself and as gifts if you love to read then you will want one 1 love it love the kindle it is so handy the battery life is great would recommend this to everyone that loves to read 1 favorite electronic device love love love my kindle it truly is my favorite electronic device that own the screen is so crisp in comparison to other readers would recommend it to anyone who is an avid reader 1 kindle review for anyone you loves to read the kindle is the best thing since sliced UNK it allows you easy access and storage of hundred of books almost like your own library while at the same time does not require massive storage space on top of that you have easy and instant access to be able to google and research items and last but not least if you travel lot you can get access to your UNK newspapers or magazines great gift for yourself or others and make sure you also get the cover case 1 my kindle wow love my kindle have given all my books away so have more room love all the features can make the font as large as you want wireless fast download of books more room in my home without all the books had etc 1 nearly perfect updated was kindle owner and the kindle is great update the contrast is incredible the text is actually black now there are minor changes in the os that make the kindle superior to its predecessor such as the UNK title bar because there is no longer title bar while reading it more closely mimics the natural reading experience the kindle is smaller and lighter than the kindle you can comfortably hold it in one hand while reading the web browser has also been improved before most pages were in mobile format but now you actually view the entire website also the back of the kindle is now UNK which helps your grip battery life also seems to be improved overall this is great product at very reasonable price ultimately it all about reading and as the amazon UNK it disappears in your hands simply it joy to read on after four months the kindle began to develop UNK one on the left corner below the screen and one on the right called amazon and they sent me new one the next day with free shipping though was disappointed in the short UNK of the plastic body amazon customer service couldn be better 1 kindle 3g outstanding we now each have our own so the UNK game is over seriously we truly love our kindle really great 1 UNK it ve had it little over month now my first ereader resisted at first because do love my paper books my husband bought this as surprise for me so don have to tote several books around on trips am very glad to have it carry it with me everywhere got the 139 one only use it for books here one con to the kindle some of the books are way too expensive one book looked forward to was UNK UNK UNK UNK but will not pay 19 99 for an ebook period ll buy the paperback for 99 at barnes and noble love my kindle but that doesn mean ll be UNK about the books buy glad have my kindle 1 amazing totally love the kindle was really worried UNK would miss holding book but actually like the kindle better then an actual book and the ebooks are lot cheaper and it saves space its just better all around there not negative thing can think about it 1 great fun love my kindle subscribe to daily newspaper the UNK UNK it shows up every morning if am at home with my wireless internet connection or on camping trip where get cell phone service like being able to change the type size if in bed and don feel like wearing my glasses or in the car on long trip should mention did buy cover for it which protects it when it accidently gets dropped 1 love my wi fi kindle used to buy books all the time love reading when saw kindle advertised on amazon was interested am tired of books piling up all over the house and having to shift them whenever wanted to move the UNK around realized after reading all the information about kindle that this was solution to my book issue can keep all my books on my small digital device yeah no more stacks of books laying around can put other things on my bookshelves love my kindle bought the latest version and have already downloaded books my favorite thing about kindle if my reading glasses are not handy can make the text larger so can read it without my glasses the kindle is wonderful UNK in the kindle cover with the light and it is worth the cost read in bed and was afraid might fall asleep and drop my kindle the cover is heavy duty and great know it will protect my kindle if UNK off thanks amazon 1 am kindler to be honest was completely skeptical about the kindle when it first came out didn see how an electronic book could replace my beloved paper ones my other concern was that the price was too high held off buying myself one for quite some time by the time did finally decide to give it try the kindle2 was out my parents had given me 100 00 amazon gift card for christmas so after couple of weeks of thinking about it took the plunge got my kindle the first week of january 2010 10 months later it has hardly ever left my side recently my kindle went international with me as my wife and UNK through europe in my travels ran into other UNK and also noticed the curious looks of people who had never seen one before about month before our trip let my wife use it and it was rather hard to get it back from her that was when realized needed to get her one of her own two days ago put in an order for her very own slate gray kindle3 am proud to say we are soon to become two kindle family bravo to all at amazon for finally putting forth an book that is simple easy to use and easy to read 1 awesome product better customer service love my kindle from the moment turned it on so was naturally disappointed when found the lcd screen cracked without having dropped or otherwise UNK it it took about minutes of my time talking to customer service rep to have replacement unit in the mail overnight no less they even included prepaid return UNK re synced my new kindle and was back up and reading in 48 hours from the time it broke then went back on amazon com and ordered another kindle 3g for my mom and ll order more for mas gifts 1 kindle wireless reader just love my kindle take it everywhere go that know will have to wait read my books and only have to carry my kindle think will buy my granddaughter one for christmas 1 the latest and greatest what is there to say really this is hands down my favourite ebook reader on the market really hated hold and turning the pages of physical books and the kindle makes reading so much more UNK 1 love it resisted buying an electronic reader for long time because love books finally took the plunge and could UNK myself for waiting so long am 70 very young UNK and computer literate but was still UNK by the ease of use was up and running in less than minutes am currently reading books and have to resist the impulse to keep buying so for you older readers take the plunge 1 kindle vs ipad have kindle my spouse has an ipad for reading purposes kindle is way better even if you can get the kindle application on the pad first the kindle screen is reader friendly and UNK on the eyes the ipad screen is your usual black on white and the glare gets annoying pretty quickly secondly the kindle is lighter and allows me to read in bed the pad is UNK and weights noticeably more thirdly enjoy the 3g wireless at no extra cost my spouse would have to pay UNK fee for the same advantage the only downfall of kindle also shared by ipad is the lack of UNK of foreign language books if you don read english you don have lot of choice UNK must say that the choice you do have is usually great UNK for very little money 1 awesome my husband loves this and hasn put it down since we got it am UNK to get my own now 1 UNK by UNK UNK given that this is free download of classic would like to make the following observations the download is of such poor quality that it does not show respect for the kindle brand respect for the kindle reader respect for the work respect for the author respect for classic UNK 1 awesome the kindle is great wish would of got one long time ago thanks great service too arrived quickly 1 kindle very happy with the wireless kindle no problems works just as it said it would 1 fun device my husband bought kindle for me for my birthday absolutely love it we live in UNK and took it to the beach with me could read it very easily in the sun and it was so much less cumbersome than dealing with heavy book and no fighting with the breeze trying to turn the pages for me it is so light weight that could lie back and hold the kindle over my head for easy reading and my arm barely noticed downloading new books is as easy as few simple clicks and takes only seconds even downloaded the whole bible and it was there in less than minute as time goes on might find something do not like but so far that has not been the case have the new generation version and love the 3g option for downloading 1 fantastic not huge reader but got this thing this morning and ve been hooked 1 nice device software needs work the kindle has great screen for daylight reading and is both lightweight and UNK built one handed reading is easy while sitting up and do able while UNK or lying down which is better than can say for typical paperback however was disappointed that the kindle software ui has so far to go as far as really making reading better than paper reading for example when you are reading book and need to flip back few pages to look for something it doesn keep track of the page you started flipping back from so you can easily return to your last position after you ve found what you re looking for of course you can set bookmark manually before flipping backwards but that no fun you can search backwards for the most recent reference to word in fact the only way to search is to search the whole book and then get page of search results that include context for each hit so if you are reading fiction and don want any UNK searching is not such good idea when you choose the go to menu option UNK box comes up where you can type in location number like page number but you need to figure out yourself the additional UNK to even bring up the soft keyboard that contains numbers could go on but overall while really enjoy the kindle as long as am just flipping ahead through my book it disappointing in other uses had hoped that amazon would have been able to UNK its software experience more over the years hopefully they will get around to it before too long 1 mobile library find the new kindle pleasure to use it is light and very easy to read and to navigate through the books also the download time is incredible almost instantaneous all in all am delighted with this purchase though bought it for my wife she complains that the contrast is UNK for her old eyes while who is older have no problem with it 1 we bought kindle for my recent birthday my husband helped me to purchase the new version of the kindle and like it very much find it so easy to navigate for the basic functions such as finding new book getting review and then purchasing the book the clarity for reading and simplicity for turning pages is great also like that there is so much more than this that can be done with this device have much more to learn but love that it is also very simple for the computer challenged UNK for great product 1 kindle wireless wi fi bought this one by mistake it is wonderful but for people who will go to hot spots to read read in bed so need to be able to order book at am if want to sent it back and bought the one with whispernet 1 why didn get one sooner first let me start off by saying that an avid reader before college would go through books like crazy often finishing more than two or three in week but now that have two or three textbooks to carry around not to mention notebooks everyday really don want to add bulk to my backpack by adding more books then got my kindle month ago since then not day goes by that not reading it is so portable and small so light that it fits in my purse without notice love the no glare screen and slim design but most of all love the fact that can carry hundreds of books around with me without UNK an already UNK backpack 1 the best gadget bought in my life this is revolution with this little gadget reading gets again on top of the hobby list in the train in the subway even walking with the read to me feature in your UNK while you UNK read to me with the built in speakers normally read book every months since bought this little beauty read book week and it so beautifully designed great product best buy 1 new kindle recently purchased the new version of the kindle and my wife is thrilled with it it does everything expected and more she has gotten hooked up with some friends that have them but older versions and they are all talking about upgrading it is easy to read in all kinds of lighting bright sun to less lit rooms and the case with built in light for night time is awesome the system for downloading books is also fantastic order it online and when you fire up the unit and activate wifi voila it downloads didnt even know this before purchasing but you can change it so that you hold it sideways like an iphone UNK not automatic for easier reading cool 1 kindle amazon promised the kindle by UNK sept it arrived on the UNK it has exceeded my UNK hopes easy to use the font makes it much nicer to read that book my only UNK is no back light but all in all out of 10 1 next generation kindle love it love it love it held off buying an book device until now you can beat the price the books download very quickly and not having to carry around books is great 1 on my 4th device new UNK finally the kindle love okay below is my long and UNK list of issues with the first units that had problems with however received the latest replacement days ago my 4th unit of the latest generation and it is working perfectly had the dx and wanted something smaller and absolutely wonderful have had one rebooting issue but nothing crazy occurred it turns on and off effortlessly loved my dx and now after receiving working device am loving the latest generation kindle would give this rating but with all my issues and UNK and customer service calls give it overall since have been having issues for about months but customer service has been awesome very UNK and helpful the issues addressed with previous units constant rebooting locking up amazon suggestion update to software however didn work with the first units haven needed to update on this unit battery dead even though just charged originally the unit was turning on and going to sleep mode without physically being turned on after the 3rd continued to do this amazon suggested that it was the power outlet or charger have replacement charging cord and am not having this issue currently but not sure if this was or was not the issue prior give amazon the benefit of the doubt on this one loss of collections so far so good everything seems to be in it place not losing pages or material wi fi not connecting haven tried this yet as haven had time but hoping for the best on off switch not problem with the first unit UNK but the 3rd one stuck and would only go about half way over when being released no problem with the previous units or my latest unit overall even with my issues couldn live without my kindle still occasionally purchase actual books but couldn live without my kindle would recommend this to anyone purchased the dx in june 2009 and had no problems completely fell in love with the kindle and actually recommended the device to my friend however due to the size of the dx device rarely used it was so excited that amazon came out with smaller version with the bigger capacity pre ordered right when it was available and waited for the release finally received the device at the end of august the device would freeze up would turn on in my bag and yes bought the overpriced case that was available and of course when wanted to read it the device was dead contacted customer support times was told to re charge update software to and it still didn work so they sent me replacement which received days ago that one lasted whole days before requested replacement as the same issues were UNK now day into the 3rd one and already am having problems each representative that have spoke to tells me that this is the first time they have heard of such problems so either there are hundreds of customer service UNK who don know what is really going on or they amazon is in UNK about the serious issues that are UNK in addition to the above issues have lost my collections that pain UNK set up syncing is big waste of time because regardless of whether sync or not lose where am at in my book and the device seems to do what it wants now might just be the lucky one to have these issues three times but my friends kindle seems to be working without fail which is even more UNK in the end either now deal with these issues since am becoming an expert on the issues or return the device and go without 1 amazing what 139 can buy thank you amazon wow my wifi only kindle arrived yesterday and loving it already well made sturdy feels solid in my hands nothing cheap about this product even the usb charger wall adaptor seems well made also just bought my 1st book for the kindle the girl with the UNK UNK best UNK seller for only UNK and also downloaded my 1st free book the UNK of king UNK and his UNK so many good free books both books downloaded in about 30 seconds even on my so so UNK dsl wifi love the one touch button to adjust font size while reading super sharp words it just like reading on paper only thing not so impressed is the current experimental web browser but then again it just side benefit not the primary purpose for buying the kindle bottom line at 139 the wifi kindle is an amazing dedicated reader you can ask for more battery life up to month screen weighs less than oz less than typical paperback book holds up to 500 books and or other files like pdf and mp3 built in UNK internet browser 50 better contrast 21 lighter than last kindle model over million out of copyright books for free dracula UNK travels alice in wonderland you can email yourself files and it ll show up to download on your kindle free access to all att wifi UNK no UNK required over 700 000 books to buy of which UNK 000 are 99 or less has built in dictionary UNK my UNK wants kindle now too lol this is definitely up there along with the UNK slim ipad and iphone as perfect birthday UNK or mas present 1 awsome love the new kindle get my daily UNK new books and even games take it with me everywhere just in case am stuck waiting anywhere 1 UNK kindle purchased this kindle for my husband who loves to read and who isn computer savy we looked for size of screen UNK font size and ease of use he been using it for about weeks and can download easily and loves everything about it except for one thing you need to add light for reading at night in the car compared the kindle to the other readers on the market and read the reviews from consumer report before making this purchase and feel like we got great product 1 kindle wi fi review UNK days after placing the order my kindle arrived at my office in UNK australia most of that wait was due to amazon not having any of the wi fi models in stock an indicator of how popular this device is was UNK to monitor its progress as it was packed on to plane in UNK checked in and out of UNK and finally UNK all within the space of one weekend the courier dropped it off on monday morning and was impressed to find my kindle all set up and ready to go never owning an ebook reader before first thought the instructions on the screen were printed on paper and UNK at myself when UNK that the text and image was actually ink since then have been constantly impressed with the kindle the text is sharp clear and easy to read the device itself is great size UNK perfectly into an inside pocket of my rain jacket or the leg pockets of my UNK pants don know if the was by design or just luck but it makes it so easy to carry on my commute on the train bought another pair of UNK pants so wouldn have to miss out on this convenience when one pair is in the UNK and it so light barely notice it there the other day was enjoying lunch in the square it was nice warm day but quite UNK which proved another nice feature of an ebook reader no pages blowing in the wind plus was able to hold UNK in one hand the kindle in the other whilst changing pages with my thumb my only complaints about the kindle are quite UNK the screensaver images of mostly UNK authors are not terribly pleasing to look at and can be changed unless you don mind UNK your kindle wrote to amazon about this and hope that with enough complaints from other users they will see fit to allow users to choose their own screensaver images my second complaint is that the option to read blogs on the kindle is not available in australia of course can use the web browser to read blogs and other websites but this is not as simple and efficient as the dedicated blog feature which will automatically download the latest blog updates and present them in format that is easy to read on the kindle display hopefully in time this feature will become available to users of all countries complaint number three is to do with reading pdf these are best viewed in landscape mode but that requires some cumbersome button pushing an UNK would have made this easier the best thing ve found to do is convert pdf to mobi format allowing them to be viewed in normal reader mode but this only works for documents without images in them the kindle is one of the UNK ebook readers available in australia even after the us but also offers UNK of features that make it one of the best would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is after dedicated ebook reader 1 love the kindle one disappointment love my kindle for many reasons easy to travel with easy to use great way to store books for future reading etc was however disappointed to find that many books especially new releases are not 99 as advertised originally many are priced very close to actual book prices when ve already purchased pricey device UNK to pay so much for books love my kindle for travel vacations etc but the library is obviously still the best way to go 1 kindle accessory needed would have wanted to know before purchased this item that buying the cover with the built in light was needed have been reading books on kindle for pc for quite some time and love it particularly like the light of the computer display can turn out the lights UNK up with book on pc or read in bed without light on however my computer would UNK it laptop and got UNK love the kindle but the display is not the same as computer as thought did purchase the cover with the built in light and now my problem is solved would recommend buying both at the same time great investment cheaper than new laptop the best thing can throw it in my purse whenever leave the house and whether waiting at doctor office or at the UNK can read 1 kindle dictionary ve had my kindle for month and love it read several books already the screen is easy on my old eyes and the pages fly by the major drawback so far is the dictionary choice the preloaded dictionary is UNK and could not locate better edition to purchase via the kindle store amazon really needs to UNK some serious choices for users 1 reading UNK UNK when the kindle first came out thought there no way would ever consider buying one the reading experience just isn the same love the feel of books the smell it UNK thing and reading books on kindle just seemed so UNK but there are only so many places reading UNK can put books in her home before there no more room for them so did some reading and decided that yes would like to have kindle and received one for my birthday after owning it for few weeks now so happy got it how cool is it to have immediate access to at present count nearly 70 books and word game on one device bought one of the leather covers so it more like reading real book and have to admit that the screen so closely UNK paper that there have been times forgot it wasn real book and went to turn the page couple of things learned in the past few weeks using the wi fi 3g really does eat up your battery while downloading bunch of free books my nearly fully charged k3 UNK out and had to hook it up to the charger to finish that how much power the wireless UNK up another thing learned the battery isn at its full charge potential until it been charged few times the first time used my k3 it wasn even week before had to charge it again but since then the battery lasts longer each time charge it one time it froze up on me and found out that when it says to slide the button and then release it more like slide the button over and hold for second or two and then release since ve been doing that it hasn frozen up again oh and if it does freeze up just slide the button over and hold it for 15 seconds or so it will take minute or two to reset itself but it will eventually come back on again found an online kindle forum with loads of helpful UNK and troubleshooting tips on it and that been very helpful and what can say about the tons of free books of course what available may not appeal to everyone lots of classics and some more obscure titles but for free why not give it try even the books one has to pay for if you re like me and have some UNK favorites that get read over and over paying for these books once and having them forever is definitely better than having to buy them again and again because they get worn out as ve had to do with couple of my favorite authors whose books ve read many times over the years overall delighted with my k3 and use it every day 1 kindle bought kindle several months ago since have purchased it have bought and read several books on this device and have to say really like it the display has great contrast and easy to read the size and weight of the device are good the battery life is exceptional too had hard time UNK that it would hold charge for month but it does the only problem have is not with the kindle itself but with the cost of some of the books for the kindle the kindle editions cost as much as new paperback book there is not printing shipping or storing involved with the kindle editions it should be cheaper and on books that have been in UNK for awhile the price of paperback copies drop UNK faster than kindle editions have seen books on amazon new from down to dollars and the kindle price is dollars now on the flip side have noticed there is large collection of books out there that are free or as little as 99 cents to download all in all this is good purchase for an avid reader 1 love love love my new kindle 3g wifi received this kindle 3g for my birthday and it is the best present ever have read several books and bought cover and the UNK to read at night very quiet have taken it to the hospital and several doctor appointments the kids play games and read some really do not want to share it UNK love it 1 screen issue had the kindle for about days on the the forth day woke it from the screen saver and the screen displayed pattern of UNK and horizontal lines with the bottom right corner not displaying anything at all pressing keys did not do anything tried UNK both the soft and hard reset procedure but the screen remains frozen in an odd UNK pattern it seems as if the screen is dead amazon customer service is sending replacement kindle hope it was an UNK issue update the second kindle that was shipped had an issue with the back cover and side it was shipped back almost immediately the third unit was refurbished unit but is solid so this review is updated based on the this third unit bought the kindle to replace my sony prs 505 the battery was giving out after few years of use and the sony ebook store UNK far behind amazon in terms of ease of use and selection hardware comparing the ink screens the level of UNK of the ink screen the kindle does appear slightly lighter the UNK of the screen on the kindle is darker would not say by UNK darker but noticeable this makes the kindle screen easier to read than the prs 505 in low lighting situations though in normal light they are pretty much equivalent the page turns on the kindle are faster not earth UNK but noticeable the interface on the kindle is faster to navigate as well all in all the kindle does most things better plus the wi fi connectivity is something the sony lacked build quality would have to give this one to the prs 505 there is something nice about the metal UNK on the sony versus the hard plastic of the kindle the sony feels solid and has survived much abuse over the years the nice part about the finish on the kindle is the texture it does feel less likely to slip out of my hands have been pretty careful with the kindle so only time will tell how it will hold up software don have UNK towards one interface versus the other they are both fairly basic and UNK lot of button navigation to select and read books the mp3 player is better on the sony only because the kindle mp3 player is in the experimental section and does not seem to have interface UNK to indicate what it is doing where the kindle does have an advantage is the ability to load games the word games are fun UNK found the kindle web browser to be amazing in that it can render fairly complex UNK well however the act of navigating moving around zooming in and out and clicking through links is tedious time consuming and difficult so much so that would consider more of neat trick than something useful did notice some UNK slow down with my first kindle unit but on this one updated the firmware to and haven noticed any slow down bookstore amazon is far superior can select books on any computer and have it delivered wirelessly to the kindle also with the wi fi connection it is easy to browse the store to pick up more book when only have the kindle the prices are not too far apart for the sony versus the kindle ebook store however ve noticed that amazon is easier to navigate and has better selection of the books it is true that there is way to load amazon books onto the sony ereader but prefer the ease of use and the less UNK legal UNK of using the kindle conclusion like everything about the kindle but the build quality however the build quality not terrible it is solid but not as refined as sony ereaders the screen is great and for everything you get the price is UNK reasonable is it worth it would say so my only fear being that it won hold up to few years of use for the price though felt it was worth taking chance on 1 wow wow wow got the kindle latest generation for my 29 year old daughter for her birthday now everybody else in the family wants one my christmas shopping will be piece of cake terrific product 1 the good the bad and the good the screen is excellent reading itself is excellent the bad the usability of the device is quite poor almost every detail has been designed poorly from the usability point of view and there are lot of details but the tricky thing is to notice them at the time of design the conclusion am still very happy with it and use it lot the usability UNK the experience somewhat but it more of an annoyance than show UNK but when something better comes along maybe will buy it or maybe not we ll see at this moment kindle seems to be the one to get editing the review some UNK of the usability issues the device has gone to sleep mode few times while reading page very irritating know the delay is 10 minutes but often do something else in the middle and return to the book and 10 minutes goes quickly that way real book has never gone to sleep mode like this while returning to kindle have to wake it up it an extra step extra work have never have to wake up real book if rotate book usually pdfs need to be rotated the whole device UNK itself it quite annoying and cumbersome to rotate it back every time browsing the book list has many problems back and forward buttons are in such an order that always have to be aware and think that press the right button 1 accidental page turning this product is really great but when first started using it was always hitting the page turning buttons accidentally there is no need for page turning buttons on both sides of the page unless there for left and right UNK the page UNK are exactly where you would typically hold the kindle have got used to it the other thing is when the text to speech is on and you switch the kindle off the speech does not stop you have to go into the formatting menu to turn it off first it would also be handy to have pause button in handy position for the speech if you just want to go and do something and not have to go into the formatting menu to stop and then start again 1 kindle 3g wireless love my kindle it is exactly what wanted and am still UNK what it has to offer daily so far so good 1 kindle is great kindle is the best thing going am very impressed with the ease it has on your eyes when reading the 3g function is the way to go you can stay connected and get new books anywhere anytime you can even check email and facebook with it used to be attached to printed books and concerned with what how we would do away with them for the benefit of the environment won be surprised if the kindle is the way 1 superb gadget ve started to read books only couple of years ago one of the biggest problems is to find time for the book reading due to my tight schedule when finally have some free time probably won have any books with me would like to read kindle solves this problem very well have some books on kindle and take it everywhere go whenever have some free time say 10 or 20 minutes can take the kindle and have read completely satisfied with the device and the price is incredibly low there no reason you should buy paper books since this version of kindle 1 the world at your fingertips the kindle wireless reading device meets or exceeds my expectations the books want are readily available receive the UNK and mail newspaper each morning before 00 am and have my library with me when travel three cheers 1 great advance in kindle what great product makes reading piece of cake it readily UNK your needs for font size and type hard to see how it could be improved 1 love love love my kindle one of the best purchases ve ever made just love how easy it is to use my hands UNK just tiny bit enough to be distracting when read so this makes it so much easier to read especially when laying down it also kind of fun searching for books to buy of course like the freebies the best if you don have one yet don be afraid to buy you won be disappointed 1 quick delivery received promptly was gift to my mother in law she is happy for the thought but doesn feel she will use it would UNK to UNK this 1 kindle its is easy to use and getting new book are snap enjoy it very much highly recommend to everyone 1 kindle 3g the kindle 3g is my first ebook reader and has UNK all of my expectations the battery last for an extremely long time the screen is incredibly readable and the 3g and wireless abilities have worked flawless thus far recommend this item to anyone searching for an ebook reader 1 kindle 2nd generation the kindle 2nd generation 3g wireless is great tool for more than just reading books chose it because load personal pdf files onto it from my laptop and be able to highlight and add text to them this makes the kindle great business tool as well 1 impressed just bought this kindle for my dad for his UNK since he is an avid reader and UNK ton on books and also loves to travel this was the perfect gift for him user friendly great instructions and quick UNK even free books to find he loves it 1 awesome this product is awesome if you love reading recommend the kindle you don have to log around books anymore downloading of books is easy and simple think this would be perfect christmas present 1 kindle UNK kindle is UNK of technology improvement the power button requires one to lift kindle up each time it is used it would easier if this button were as accessible as the other features mostly on top also it is UNK to offer left handed people the change page tabs on the left side however in holding the machine it is too easy to push one of these tabs accidentally left and right hey if you want to keep up with sony why not try touch screen for these problems UNK 1 my kindle have had this item for few weeks now the instructions for use are non UNK once started using it though it has been pretty easy to UNK am very happy with this product and plan on getting second one for my girl friend if you read lot as we do then would highly recommend getting one you can have all of your books in one convenient place 1 UNK just picked up kindle wifi at local store low and behold it came with the wall charger do UNK once plugged it in the screen UNK came on with bar showing how far it needs to charge noticed you can purchase the extra charger kit for 19 but this was pleasant surprise was expecting to have to purchase the wall plug separately update ve since returned the kindle to the retail store and purchased reader with touch screen feel the touch screen is better as used to the ipad 1 kindle 3g just want to say crazy about my new kindle 3g my sister told me how much she loves her kindle so ordered one and it one of the best purchases have ever made everything you advertise about the kindle 3g is true 1 kindle this is my first kindle so can really comment on earlier versions but this kindle is amazing love it wish had bought kindle earlier it doesn just let you read book there are so many other things you can do within two days had not only books but photos music and email loaded on it believer 1 still love it after month and books later still love my kindle the only issue that have is the power button is starting to stick to the left when putting to sleep or UNK hopefully this issue won progress to the extent of putting to sleep and not moving again to wake do love everything about it 1 the best book ever just activated my kindle the other day had heard it was good but had no idea how great it would be it is by far the best purchase ve made this year would reccomend the kindle to everyone if you don have it get it 1 love my 3rd kindle love my kindle have been on board since bought one for myself christmas 2008 lost that one and bought second which accidentally dropped the lesson in this is to buy the warranty have over 200 books or so in my archives and love that am not wasting room in my house storing them reading is my greatest hobby and have been happy with each and every kindle have owned have converted several friends and family members to being kindle users as well 1 awesome won mine on ebay but it brand new and so glad UNK over the extra and got the wi fi and 3g great UNK what cool tech toy was debating between the new pad droid nook and kindle after reading lots of articles decided this was great product and not only can you download books mags blogs etc right from the kindle it an mp3 music player and battery lasts for month told also looking forward to the games you can download got UNK for free along dracula and some other great reads hope you enjoy yours as much as am enjoying my kindle 1 everyone should have one ve been using my kindle for few weeks now and every time do wonder how lived without one this is truly UNK changing product the convenience of use the ease of reading the screen the UNK of library of books amazing battery life and the tactile experience are just some of the reasons love my kindle now when want book my first choice is definitely kindle book and it disappointed when kindle don offer what want to buy my only disappointment so far has been when tried to buy book that was not available in south africa my dream is for every child in africa to have kindle loaded with the books they need for the grade they are in kindle would be such help when learning languages imagine reading book and having it read to you too here hoping each child having kindle would go long way to UNK the pressure of UNK to teach huge classes and to overcome the shortage of learning materials suggested improvements would be an improvement to the handling of zooming on pdfs and having the ability to zoom into section in book which would be useful when looking at drawings and UNK diagrams in the text don read that many technical books so this is not really problem for me loving my kindle thank you amazon 0 marvelous device buggy software cannot wake from sleep this is my first ebook reader and think waited for long for this king of ebook reader maybe touch screen would have make it perfect but don even think would care for it as don take notes for the first weeks enjoyed every pages turned on my kindle it made me read again as could at last bring heavy books in very light form factor what is so enjoyable is to be able to read with one hand on subway train this is top UNK but after the first weeks started the first freeze and it was the UNK of horror now it freezing cannot wake up from sleep times out of and have to hard reset it each time which has the result of UNK to the page of before last reading session not that hard to find the last page that your read but still UNK there was also time where it was really dead couldn even hard reset it turned out to be an UNK battery but had recharged it full the night before always let the network off after all those trouble tried to update to UNK firmware but it not better at all going to wait more weeks before returning out because ll be in holidays and too bad ll have to stuck with faulty device but on my return like so many people having trouble with their kindle ll return it and prepare myself of having to return kindles to amazon several time fix your kindle amazon don think ipad would have that kind of UNK bug let UNK at least UNK on it 1 kindle wi fi model am just loving my kindle can load books anytime even late at night when want to read and not have to wait till morning highly recommend UNK great item 1 great product love my kindle after lots of research decided to go with the kindle it is easier to read than book don have wifi at home so have to transfer from the computer but not problem to me 1 kindle new way to enjoy reading enjoy this kindle so much that have recommended it to all my friends it is lightweight and with all it options available it is dream to own love the voice feature can use it when need to prepare dinner and am at stage of reading book that don want to put the book down so use the voice feature and continue to enjoy my book this kindle has me hooked read on the average of 10 to 15 books week and now can do that without cluttering up my home with paperbacks to anyone thinking of getting kindle would say go for it 1 great recently received this item and found it easy to use and recommend it to anyone who reads lot also it saves space now will never have to worry about how am going to get rid of pile of books again have downloaded books and it was really easy even find that read more frequently now that don have to hold large book also found that even read doing UNK when watching program this is the best purchase have made in long time 1 smaller lighter faster and better than ever there are so many reviews are already there but am writing this review for the customers like me am from india this is my first purchase from amazon specially an electronic good while placing the order was quite in UNK whether it will come in good condition or totally be damaged due to poor handling but ultimately the packing was very good and dhl is very good courier service and really the UNK company for the world after getting it was already in the ready to use state just you have to switch it on from the sleep mode and it was fully charged this part is relevant to the customers from developing country specially for india amazon has huge collection of story books with quite affordable price that good but truly speaking don find any interest on those books another thing is the only magazine from india which is available is india today which is hardly good atleast in comparison to UNK UNK and so many are there and the most important thing is that almost all the story books and magazines are available in the internet in pdf format almost in free of cost you can directly transfer them in your kindle by usb cable and read and there will be no difficulty to get the meaning of any word UNK put the cursor there and it will show the meaning you can take note or highlight the text easily but one problem in the pdf format is that it will not support the text to speech facility and content page of the book will remain UNK you can jump to the required chapter from the content page from the first problem you can get rid of by converting the pdf to the kindle format azw format by using already available free software in the internet moreover there are some sites in net where you can download books directly in azw format in free of cost so those who think once you purchase kindle again have to invest in purchasing books or magazines and have to read the books that has been written by western author according to there taste or based on their history is totally wrong and next whether to go for wi fi enabled kindle or wi fi 3g enabled kindle think in this part of the world wi fi or 3g connectivity is not good and also kindle is not good to surf net for that apple ipad is UNK UNK and will suggest to purchase the reading light enabled kindle cover also while purchasing kindle it is very useful at night 1 great and affordable ebook have always wanted to have an ebook reader and was deciding between sony ebook or an amazon kindle the UNK of kindle won me over and bought the wireless version of kindle the reading experience is amazing light weight great eink interface which makes reading an ease under the sun everything is great except the battery it was indicated that the battery would last month with wireless turn off since day have received kindle wireless was only turn on once for UNK yet have charged twice once on day and another time after 13 days of usage am not sure whether am the only one experience that but other than that kindle has been great device 1 better than thought to say the kindle is great would be an enormous understatement now instead of waiting for the mail to bring my book or making trip to the bookstore live about hours away from barnes and noble all have to do is go to amazon click button download book and begin reading in minutes 1 library at my fingertips love it love it love it this is just too fun to have it reads easy everyone comments on it think it is lighter than my mom nook but do like the virtual keyboard on hers but one can have it all had it on recent trip to UNK and with the UNK cover it was hit like the simple games do not want amazon to put crazy games on it the word type games are the best we might learn something and get out vocabulary back in shape the texting world has torn mine to UNK anyway anyone who is thinking of reader this one is the best light weight easy to read easy to use just terrific 3g is must even bought book in UNK UNK it was there too bad amazon can do that with the flights still learning to use it but it is the best so glad got this over the nook my mom has to recharge all the time am still on the first charge and it is about month hope you enjoy yours 1 does superb job the kindle 3rd generation does superb job very good in most lighting conditions don know why people are UNK picking am enjoying reading much more than have in many years thanks kindle 1 UNK about the kindle purchased the kindle for my husband for his birthday he was reluctant to try it but once he did he loved it it easy to use and easy to download books within minutes now we will be fighting over who gets to use it 1 kindle having never used an ebook reader have nothing to compare this to can say this device is fairly rich with features is easy to use and absolutely love it there is room for improvement of course as there always is with UNK technologies would suggest improvements to the search function so that each search return UNK the chapter it was found in this would be especially useful for bible searches would also suggest UNK the way it reads html so that text UNK to the size of the screen rather than having to zoom in on part of the html page 1 best UNK for buck highly recommend the kindle as an reader if your primary purpose is to read books and perhaps the odd newspaper this is the device for you super light great battery life great screen and nice keyboard makes this my first choice in an reader there are other devices out there that do lot more with color screens and other features but at the 140 price point you will not find better device than the kindle 1 loving it for the longest time was reading books on my android phone or my laptop but it hurt my eyes so much not to mention the constant scrolling when read on my phone finally got kindle because the price dropped down to 139 reasonable price for college student to pay figured if didn like it could always return it or sell it to someone else without too much hassle well no need for that ve had my kindle for about weeks now and ve read books already it so easy to use my eyes don get strained and it so easy to carry around one of the things that made me start reading books on my phone was the fact that could never fit in UNK book with all of my textbooks the kindle is so light and thin overall the kindle is one of the best purchases have made it made me love reading all over again 1 rather like it got kindle for my birthday several days ago and wanted to post review although rather dismayed at the pricing of some books this does not factor into my review as understand that there are lot of factors involved in pricing books my review is for the kindle itself pros incredibly light weight and portable holding this bad boy while reading is not problem reads just like book am amazed at how quickly the kindle disappears while reading for me this is the most important factor in my pro list automatically saves the page you were last on exceptionally long battery life ability to switch between books immediately huge library of books at your fingertips any time of the day or night making this device ideal for travel when you buy book it downloaded to your kindle in less than minute of the few books ve downloaded so far all were on my kindle in around 10 seconds which is amazing fun word games included on the kindle ease of set up or maybe should say lack of set up because once you ve input the serial number on amazon all you have to do is turn the kindle on to start reading you can download sample of book to try it out admittedly haven yet done this but very much looking forward to testing this out might be small thing but like that can set the kindle down on any surface and be able to read with book you often have to UNK the UNK for it to lay flat or you have to sit something on top of the book to keep it down which can be awkward and impossible in some situations now can eat while read without having to come up with some huge set up to keep my book flat cons no book sharing with other kindle owners other readers let you share books with your friends even if it only for two weeks wish the kindle would let me do this no support for the epub format which means you can check out books from the library as big library user this is bit UNK and means missing out on lot of free books the two cons on my list are big enough for me to take away one star from my review think the kindle would be the perfect reader if the ability to do these things were available on the kindle apart from that really pleased at how much enjoying the kindle and would definitely recommend it if you enjoy reading want to keep your house from being UNK with books and like being able to read anywhere 1 outstanding the kindle is even more than expected don think my wife has put it down since receiving it she takes it every where she goes the book down loads is very fast and the wifi works great the size is perfect for comfortable reading we will be ordering our second unit very soon 1 love my kindle have had my 3g wi fi kindle for weeks now and love it also got the lighted cover which comes in handy more often than thought it would was listening to UNK show on my car radio and heard about new book by UNK UNK called take your eye off the ball actually bought the book while listening to the show and started reading it within minute but not while driving haha it was so exciting have read so much these last weeks that almost forgot owned tv have ordered the UNK post which comes to my kindle every morning by around UNK automatically and is wonderful not having to go outside in the rain to get the paper navigating through the newspaper is very quick and easy and am technology challenged for sure there are only downsides for me so far one is that am huge UNK UNK fan and although love reading the UNK post wish it would carry the UNK sun UNK section couldn care less about the skins so that is really no fault of the kindle and the other thing is that when used to read great book would let my friends borrow it now can do that they will have to get their own kindle or wait in line at the library or pay full price at the book store make sure have my kindle with me all the time waiting in line is not UNK anymore so long as can read highly recommend the kindle 1 love it so far new kindle user and so far love it haven used any other reading device but can imagine the experience being any better than this highly recommend the holding case which has the built in light love that 1 kindle is fabulous the amazon kindle is very well UNK and executed concept am more than pleased with its versatility ease of use and UNK would highly recommend it to anyone who might be considering purchase no longer have to carry bag full of various reference bibles to church each sunday for the class teach and love how can type my notes right into the text where they are marked for future reference with all the interest my kindle has generated among my friends am looking forward to seeing who buys one in the future 1 sharing books with kindle have recently bought the kindle for my husband for his birthday and as was reading all the reviews on it know seen where you can share book with up too others with kindle can someone please tell me if im right and where can find the info on this want to get one for myself and think it said if we were on the same act we can share the books please help me 1 why bought the kindle over the ipad ve been in the publishing industry for almost 30 years now everyone knows that electronic production and delivery will shape the future of the book publishing industry and most suspect that the future is now so that the main reason finally bought an ebook reader to be less UNK behind in the work that provides room and board for the family if you re going to consider yourself an active member of the long form publishing world better at least be aware of the UNK or electronics of the digital book experience figured the final UNK needed to order the kindle was an UNK trip to china last month UNK 18 hours in the air each way wanted to make sure had plenty to read without packing UNK UNK sure enough the kindle worked like charm on that trip downloaded four or five books at new york UNK airport UNK the plane UNK dinner watched movie and then UNK up book ve been wanting to read was sleeping like baby in UNK minutes it felt like home and yes did finish the book and two others while flying over the UNK UNK after told an author friend why bought the kindle they let me know they were more interested in why it took me so long good question frankly ve not been sold on buying an ebook reader in general and the kindle in particular until now do like the feel of paper and ink bound inside paper or board cover but that not what really held me back we all know that technological improvements take place so fast that version of the newest gadget follows by weeks not months or years not late adopter of new technology but on the other hand don want to be the one purchasing at twice the price of which will UNK have more features and less problems so waited for multiple UNK companies to launch new readers and for three million of my good friends to buy the first two UNK of the kindle before jumped in on the third UNK but then came the next question from my author friend why the kindle over the ipad it is hard to beat apple for sleek and cool and seamless usability and the ipad was all over the news and just about to sell its one UNK unit within months of its release when bought the kindle so here are my reasons for buying the kindle over the ipad perhaps ll take up the question of why chose it over the sony reader and barnes noble nook at later time read books and there are approximately UNK times more books available through amazon kindle store than are available for the ipad the gap will close but is still significant the pad costs three to four times more than the kindle not saying the pad isn worth it it looks to me like the ipad is the future of laptop computing and style apple and others will come up with next generation device that is cross between the laptop and the ipad which will replace what use now but don need all the extra computing and bells and whistles that come with it ve already got UNK just need book reader it isn lost on me that most people see with the ipad on airplanes aren reading books though to be fair it looks like the magazine reading experience is much better than it would be with the kindle but the ipad users see are more often watching movie or playing game not reading book and as UNK get distracted easily enough in life when want to read book less is absolutely more the electronic type on the kindle has now reached the same level of readability and lack of eye strain as the paper and ink book when took the kindle out of the box assumed there was protective plastic film with picture of tree UNK my screen the UNK level of electronic ink was so rich and brilliant that was surprised to discover it was the actual screen glad didn give in to my impulse to grab sharp object to lift an end of the film so could remove it from the screen the size of the kindle is just about perfect for carrying in briefcase or purse though wouldn know UNK on the purse and the ipad is just little too large as an extra device as mentioned above don think the kindle can compete with the ipad on reading larger visual publications and certainly not playing games or watching movies and it not just due to the smaller size the kindle is strictly black on white so if was in different area of publishing like fashion media or nature UNK would UNK purchase the ipad also picked the kindle because can now use it to carry and read my own documents this is not really reason picked it over the ipad because that is not and never has been limitation for the apple device let just say that amazon fixed something that they got wrong in earlier editions of the kindle because it is proprietary device tied to the amazon store it used to be if you wanted to read non commercial book document on the kindle you had to figure out how to upload it to the store and buy it from yourself there know one of the big five publishers bought all their UNK the sony reader for this very reason there were no limits on putting your own material on your reading device the publisher wanted UNK to experience an ebook reader and UNK company material on it that was too tough and expensive on the kindle maybe better of way of making this point is to say that amazon removed reason had previously been UNK to buying their kindle going to fly to UNK later today want to review UNK prepared for the meeting now all do is convert it to pdf and email it to my kindle email address that they UNK to me when bought the device the document will be waiting for me on my kindle in about minute those were my reasons for buying kindle they may not work for you so who should buy the kindle simple book readers don think it going to good purchase for people who want to read books instead of playing games but need little extra UNK but the ipad is obviously and for more reasons based on around multi use distractions not going to do that either the early book publishing industry UNK say that book readers buy and read more books once they have an ereader why there are no space time limitations of having to drive to brick and UNK UNK during open hours to pick up something that is on your mind right now just read good review on your flight magazine you can purchase the book in about 30 seconds once you UNK at UNK or UNK even if your connection is tight it should be noted that buying book on kindle is not as pleasant as UNK UNK of coffee while UNK through UNK of bookshelves at bookstore and will never replace that as final comment amazon offers lot of public domain books for free at the kindle store was about to board plane last week when suddenly story from my UNK UNK into my mind treasure island by UNK UNK UNK looked it up and found free edition which immediately bought it was waiting for me when took my seat read the opening chapters and was UNK with sense of UNK right after woke up from my UNK just like being at home 1 UNK really love it so far like how light it is and how easy it is to hold the screen is very easy to read and the extra features are fun to use including the free downloads downloaded one of my audible books and it worked fine the voice reader on the kindle works fine also like that can use it to go online as well bought skin for it and screen UNK both of which has worked out great recommend this to anyone who likes to read and to save space it perfect for carrying in my purse or coat pocket etc 0 wake up people after very long delay finally received my kindle absolutely love the reader concept and don see myself going to the bookstores much anymore the kindle however when read these rave reviews amazed at what people are willing to accept as quality part of my UNK with the device UNK from the fact that have the kindle app on my android phone and it UNK much better on the phone free too than the actual device but what really UNK me is that this is the third or fourth edition of the kindle and it still big UNK sure that UNK so they can continue to come out with new models to boost their sales UNK UNK UNK no big surprise there just extremely disappointing no backlight on the kindle button placement UNK that you accidentally change pages when you don want to and what worse much worse is the button that jumps chapter forward accidentally hit that button often and then spend way too much time trying to find the page supposed to be on use the device less than an hour day and even with wifi off lucky to go days on one charge where they get that 30 day figure from have no idea with wifi on and less than an hour day usage the battery is dead in days should mention that the signal strength in my house is strong so the unit does not have to spend lot of time searching for signal positives super fast data transfers and the unit is extremely light funny though that you can change the font of the book your reading but the system font size does not appear to be adjustable means need reading glasses to read everything on the unit except the book 1 after sales service dropped my kindle and it stopped working was UNK because was in the middle of good book called the kindle service department and they without question sent me another kindle overnight mail they included ups label for me to ship my broken kindle back to them with so it cost me no money at all was afraid that might have lost all my books on my old kindle but was very happy to find them all in the archive folder on the new kindle really great after sales service was very impressed they really stand behind their product my husband and both love it tonight ordered books one of which is not even released in paperback the usa yet the books were cheaper than paperbacks so it UNK situation all around very happy customer 1 kindle convert long resisted the UNK of readers now am so happy to have kindle it perfect for novels and other pleasure reading in addition to allowing me to carry many books on one light slim device it gives me constant quick dictionary access love that can use the oxford english UNK as read many british novels used to be too lazy to look up words didn know unless ran into them multiple times now can look up everything quickly and easily really like that it is UNK my reading experience and my vocabulary 1 kindle lover one of the greatest investments have made love reading and my kindle is the most practical way to take my library with me everywhere go don leave home without it have told my friends and others about the amazon kindle and most are interested and have even ordered or are thinking of buying one for themselves or loved ones way to go amazon great invention bring out one in colour soon 1 very comfortable to read despite low resolution was surprised how much like the kindle and how much reading do with it despite the relatively low resolution UNK text appears very sharp and never feel like the text is UNK or UNK or otherwise less than sharp something didn expect or even think about is how much more comfortable it can be to read book when you can adjust the column width and text size wouldn have guessed it till UNK but found personally prefer to read in magazine format UNK column of small text you can make the column width words per line UNK for me that means my UNK do less UNK UNK which is just more comfortable have not found the kindle at all UNK in fact think reading on the kindle is less UNK than reading many books negatives you do get more glare off kindle than with normal book you have to be little careful about where the light is coming from another comment on resolution the amount of detail in the fonts is much lower than in printed book even the UNK paperback that said it looks sharper think that because of amazon very careful attention to the font design and use of gray to smooth out edges however that means the fonts on the kindle are very limited regular condensed and UNK serif if the resolution of the kindle was higher amazon would have more flexibility in font style and choice as it is the main font serif is somewhat UNK and UNK though comfortable for reading and nicely designed for the device another negative is sluggish response time understand that page turns and the UNK you get when you make them is better than in previous versions but there still quite noticeable lag before the new page appears also when you move the cursor to word you want to look up the cursor is very slow find myself clicking the UNK several times and then waiting for the cursor to catch up to see where it UNK then clicking some more then the dictionary definitions are somewhat slow to appear especially if you want to see the full definition and not just the first couple of lines found the amazon store awkward to use on the kindle UNK because of the slow response and UNK because of the limited display area whenever possible do my browsing and buying on the web on computer and let the whispernet automatically upload it to the kindle when next use the device for me the web browser UNK experimental did not work at all in general if you want the kindle for anything other than reading books buy something else if you just want to read get kindle love it my UNK test for any electronic gizmo after ve had it for couple weeks if dropped it and it UNK into UNK pieces would buy it again or shop around for something else buy the kindle again in second 1 kindle review focused on reading not fancy light weight fast page turning increased memory increased battery life wifi and browser works great good screen contrast good pdf support low price 1 kindle is excellent having looked at few other ereaders available in australia and not being very impressed checked with few friends who often travel to the us and have purchased kindle they sold me and decided to purchase one sure enough everything they said was true and even more the kindle purchased has 3g and wi fi making it very easy to use the kindle store website and purchase books from wherever am the pre loaded dictionaries are also very handy the readability of the screen is good and you can even change the font size if you need to it is one of the best purchases have made in long time 1 worthwhile upgrade have UNK kindle which enjoyed very much debated whether to get this new model and am glad did the improved speed print and image resolution and the UNK improved battery life are well worth it and the improved browser is much appreciated the browser is useful for links in blogs and such no regrets 1 kindle 3g wireless love my kindle and read with it daily catch myself reaching to turn page occasionally forgetting it electronic like the size because it equivalent to paperback and easy to carry and put in my purse 1 love it have had my kindle for little over month now and have to say love it it is light and the screen is so clear last week was able to compare it to an older version and was shocked on how much clearer the new screen is to the old am on my third book and find am reading much more because of the kindle have even downloaded two free games offered by amazon digital and am finding those fun as well do turn my off when am done and have yet to have to charge the battery from when first charged it in early september when received it if you thinking of getting on highly recommend it 1 my kindle purchase waited for this version of the kindle and ended up purchasing just the wifi 139 00 great price for great product my only complaint so far is not having this in touch screen version think it would be perfect if it was touchscreen also the search feature on some books leave lot to be desire trying to find UNK in my kindle bible takes way too long but it probably the version of the bible that purchased overall love my kindle and it is never far away from me my kids are reading more and more especially on longer car trips using the kindle 1 incredible ok so there was in UNK on greek UNK that was UNK in very UNK UNK sea and guess what did to distract myself and my UNK from all that UNK and UNK UNK downloaded first sample of an older UNK UNK book like the older UNK those before UNK grew up and became techie UNK robot and then purchased it and received it UNK the UNK in less than one minute amazing eat your heart out ipad and jeff cut the ads about the lack glare as far as concerned this is the real reason to get 3g kindle also love it because no longer have to lug books around when travel just me kindle UNK UNK UNK italy 1 coolest thing for travelers easy to read any books free 3g you can read your mail in any place in the world and connect with your friends in social networks coolest things for travelers 1 love my new kindle just received the new kindle and absolutely love it it is user friendly and love to take it with me when traveling 1 simply better this device is great the downside no backlight of its own for night reading with no light no heat battery issues solution to those problems it ll be the best 1 excellent received kindle with wi fi for my birthday little over week ago very UNK with how much this can do adding books is under minute being able to add UNK to the kindle is easy to do love being able to access the internet would recommended this product 1 works great waited for the generation and am loving it it is lite easy to use and works great already have half dozen books on it and it has only been couple of weeks added the amazon lighted cover and love the grip and feel while reading 1 new favorite gadget not much of reader pick up book and put it down maybe 10 pages in and never pick it back up turns out just needed gadget get me into reading have had my kindle for about days and have read about books which is lot for me ve never tried any other book reader so can not say how it compares to those but by itself it is great ebook reader heard the pdf viewing wasn so great but the few that tried looked great except text is sort of small also tried the free pdf conversion that amazon offers and have had 90 success rate the converted files get pushed to your kindle via the wifi and also get emailed to you didn UNK up the extra cash for the 3g since don ever see myself needing to download book while on the go 1 amazing ve put high expectations for the kindle and when it arrived it was even better than my expectations its basically amazing 1 kindle3 great product am very UNK and it is really one of those few times when you feel you have got god deal for your money with an UNK product thanks amazon 1 UNK handy reading tool would like to pass on to you that am UNK pleased with the kindle recently had given to me love to read and this is so easy and light to carry around and depending on how my eyes are doing can change the size of font to continue UNK UNK reccommend this device cheers UNK 1 love my kindle am working on my third book on my new kindle and so far love it am also amazed at the battery life charged it when first got it and books later it still has about charge 1 it just perfect ebook reader it helps me enjoy reading ve ordered about 20 devices for my friends all of them said perfect 1 awesome best thing ever am not normally reader in the past year bought about 40 books that was going to set down and read started two hard backs books are very hard for me to read as have UNK UNK so holding UNK is quite painful and just pain all the way around my dogs like to eat my books started two books about UNK back and never finished them due to the pain of holding and again the dog eating the edges mentioned kindle to my husband and UNK la for my birthday he surprised me what gift have to say its the best present ever finished both my books in three days the size is wonderful and being to adjust the font size and direction is absolutely the best the print is very easy to read my eyes dont jump all over the page totally would recommend one of these to anyone out there who is even slightly considering it have loaded an entire series of books on here just drop it in my purse and go being able to take this UNK we go is dream can read get on facebook play games and time just UNK by on long car trips can not say enough about this truly an amazing item give it 10 stars 1 kindle love the kindle find that read lot more and am reading greater variety of books 1 my kindle love this product and cannot imagine being without it already not having to go out to buy book is huge thing for me and there is as good selection of books as one can find anywhere navigating around the book selection could be little simpler but still wouldn be without kindle 1 great value excellent quality the kindle wifi is great product thoroughly enjoy using it for reading ebooks often use it for viewing pdfs and it is great for that as well the experimental features are nice addition however the best thing about the kindle is reading on its screen the screen is very clear friend of mine with poor vision commented the even he was amazed at how clear the small fonts appear on the screen 0 back to waiting for paperback editions to come out my wonderful new kindle UNK to the book shelf kindle book prices way too high so will now wait for paperback editions to come out UNK bad 1 the kindle rocks out with its UNK out this device is awesome very intuitive light weight feature rich long battery life there are tons of reviews on the functionality of the kindle and there are tons of reviews on the UNK response when you get kindle going to go along and say that this product is very practical for people who move frequently as professional computer UNK UNK UNK and UNK UNK my library is rather large have lots of old text books which keep around for reference when it comes time to pick up language haven UNK in for while also have dozens of books on church history and all sorts of other books on the UNK as well as UNK himself so when it comes time for me to move which oddly enough has been rather frequent lately end up moving five boxes of books at time and they re not light books either they re heavy UNK books UNK down with the UNK of the UNK and UNK instruction sets with the kindle can put the books in UNK storage read UNK and UNK UNK while still taking the lighter versions with me don have to be tied down to laptop or monitor to read them either can pick up my entire library put it in my backpack and be on my way it awesome encourage you if you come into few dollars here and there to save them up because this is an investment that can definitely reduce the stress of moving and the amount of work involved in it 1 got what expected it took me long time to decide between the nook and kindle but international shipping slightly better price 40 when you include UNK with shipping and newer generation of the product made me decide on kindle in fact had the chance to play around with friends nook kindle pros UNK faster page turns better contrast graphite body very individual guess kindle cons don really need the keyboard so it could be bit smaller converting multi column pdfs doesn work and some others are UNK all in all satisfied and got what needed an book reader that doesn hurt my eyes and is light enough to read while standing in the bus going to work for example 1 satisfaction purchased kindle somewhat blind not knowing if would like the print UNK and the unit weight find it is very legible in whatever light and that it is easy to handle lighter than most books and thinner than all the feature most enjoy is the UNK in with amazon where can download from vast library instantaneously at reasonable price the feature most appreciate is its portability when traveling can download pre trip many books for future reading on the plane or in the foreign countries we visit and finally it is reasonably priced 0 ok but was looking to read more and the kindle will help but hate the keyboard the joystick control or whatever they call it is hard to use and is going to wear out and it is so annoying that the screen goes dark when you turn the page think one of the other ereaders actually mimics page turning when you turn the page stupid guess but the UNK is so annoying will update this soon as have only used this weeks also the book selection is rather poor for science fiction and historical fiction which like to read 1 happy kindle user really shopped around for an reader and decided to go with the first on the market am truly very happy with my purchase love downloading books in minute and took it on trip with me it was easier than UNK books love it 1 it the best reading device ordered the australian version for shipping to sydney three weeks ago and was wondering if it would really come however come it did and just in time before my trip to the UNK coast decided to go on this trip without laptop UNK only with my kindle the kindle passed through all my UNK it an awesome device with wireless 3g available in most places where connected could check my emails and also playback my classical and UNK music without worrying about playlists and favorites had trouble reading my pdf documents as copied them in another folder but it got sorted out as soon as put them in the pre created documents folder the experimental features had their occasional UNK like text to speech won stop even after switching off the kindle suspect wireless might also be UNK all the battery if we do not switch wireless off through the menu button UNK through the books is easier and the fonts are easy on the eyes however found it is not suitable for most of my pdfs because of the small size of fonts we can zoom in and rotate it but that UNK off part of the pdf file and we have to scroll through for each line which is kind of irritating kindle provides conversion of the pdf into their format but for small fee per document haven tried out that feature yet but may have to soon have no regrets for purchasing this versatile reading device and would recommend it for all 1 best thing so nice to carry book with up with taking up all the space love it 1 amazing when received my kindle in the mail was ready to try it and it was ready for me to try very easy to start and was reading book in half hour time after received it this is the best thing to UNK since sliced bread no problems and when you want it you have it right away thank you so much for doing this and have read two books already and UNK my third now and enjoying it fits in my purse and can take it everywhere 1 my first reader bought this kindle initially to take on trip with me didn want to lug around the weight of several books and now can take an unlimited amount the battery lasts so long with the wi fi off the size and weight is small enough to tuck in bag or purse but the screen is large enough to be comfortable to read find myself reading more than did before and picking up my kindle to read more often than paperback overall just love it and am so glad got it 1 kindle wireless thoroughly enjoy this product commute on train every day to work and this is convenient way to read without UNK around heavy books the font selection is quite good also would recommend this product 1 kindle for UNK it took me while to decide to buy kindle for myself had purchased one as gift the UNK is very happy to have kindle and still was too cheap to buy one for myself considered buying an ipad which features multiple uses but finally decided against it because the ipad would create too many UNK with my lap top and mp3 player plus as said am too cheap when the wi fi only came out thought the time had arrived this was price could live with but when it arrived thought had made mistake because don have wi fi access at home turns out don need it have wi fi at work and can download books on my lunch break when went on vacation found that could turn on the kindle wi fi and drive by my favorite coffee shop and UNK download complete love to read and have way too many books and not enough bookshelves and too cheap to buy more my new kindle is cheaper than bookshelf and holds 3500 books in my purse always have books with me when in waiting room or otherwise find myself with spare time you just can imagine what UNK it is for me hate to spend money to download free books from amazon free books better than the library because get to keep them 1 just got and love it just got my kindle two days ago and already in love downloading books is so simple was skeptical about the speed and easy of buying books but convinced now also love that large number of classics pride and prejudice sense and UNK etc are free these have been on my to read list for quite awhile and now actually going to read them love the ability to change font size and that screen is made to UNK real books love to read at lunch time and carrying around 500 page book is little cumbersome this device is small and convenient to take everywhere just in case get some time to read all in all total kindle UNK and its only been two days 1 kindle loved my kindle and now love my kindle as someone who loves to read books but does not have much space to store them or time to go to the library it over an hour way this is perfect chose to stick with kindle as opposed to moving to the nook because of amazon kindle book pricing their books are most always cheaper than barnes and noble never once regretted my kindle purchase and don UNK ever UNK my kindle purchase 1 didn think she wanted kindle my daughter loves to read but didn think she would like anything other then the real feel and smell of book thought the kindle is the future of reading and bought it for her UNK birthday she loves it it reads easy and doesn have the glare of of computer screen the 3g is great because we don live in large city that has wifi everywhere am very pleased with the purchase and the support that helped me with some basic questions now want one for myself also feel good about getting my daughter present she will remember for her UNK birthday 1 love my kindle resisted the urge to buy kindle for almost 12 months because was sure wouldn like it compared to the touch texture and smell of paperback finally decided to take the plunge before an overseas trip as thought it would be useful when travelling am an avid reader and with three bookcases UNK with books at home knew it was time to try the kindle when it arrived still wasn convinced but started to download and order some books was surprised how easy the process was and how cheap most of the books were compared to buying them from book stores or department stores started reading on it and within day was hooked love my kindle so much so that just bought one for my daughter for christmas have just returned from an 17 day UNK and overseas trip where would normally think about packing books weighing close to UNK no had 13 books to chose from on my kindle it lightweight and surprisingly easy to read and handle due to pretty average eyesight have increased the font slightly which makes the reading so easy for me love being able to read hands free if want to or even lie on my side and UNK without the uncomfortable weight of book in one hand why did resist for so long 1 personal view wasn sure about new tech reader am an old school book man but after seeing friends reader did some research and have never looked back since love the idea that never lose my place and that when travel never worry about finish the book and having nothing else to read so nice to have so many books downloaded that can choose whatever feel like reading from wide selection of subjects and UNK fantastic still purchase books but the new kindle was one of the best investments ve made in long time 0 kindle it is still difficult to transfer files want into the device many of them cannot be viewed because the format does not allow the zoom in on them without having to scroll left and right to read them pad is much easier to read everywhere except in bright sunlight 1 kindle UNK la UNK UNK ntilde os UNK en libro UNK oacute UNK mi UNK de UNK ha UNK el sony prs 500 UNK en UNK via ebay es con UNK el UNK UNK oacute UNK al que UNK

aacute UNK para leer 1 it great have never written product review before but was so impressed by this kindle 3g wifi that decided to take the plunge bought kindle which loved in UNK of this year and was not planning on getting the new kindle 3g but after reading other reviews decided to order one if you are on the fence about upgrading to kindle 3g from kindle just do it if you are debating getting your first reader get the kindle 3g or kindle wifi if you don need the 3g capabilities the new higher contrast is fantastic and the back and forward buttons on both sides is great improvement read more now than have in years the free samples and low prices have allowed me to try new authors and various UNK of books never would have tried in the past UNK to audible com and can even listen to my audio books on the kindle 3g being over 50 now find the ability to increase font sizes and types allows me to read for much longer periods of time even sold some hardcover and paperback books had not yet read to used book store and and bought the same ones for the kindle 3g at the kindle store just because can see them better and it does not cause eye strain finally have large print books any time want with any book want this kindle is small and lightweight and you can hold it for long time without problem have shown my new kindle 3g off to my friends and co workers and several of them have gone out and purchased one also got the lighted case for it and would recommend that too if you are debating getting this device do it now 1 lives up to its UNK find the new kindle wifi only version works fine and does what it is UNK to do remain UNK about books they are expensive if you are regular reader and the decision to allow the publishers to set the price while it may have been amazon only practical option makes ebooks even more expensive the free libraries are fine but for regular readers most of the public domain stuff is either something one has already read or very UNK having said that as an ebook device the kindle is fine 1 kindle is an excellent buy looked into the ipad and kindle the selling point was its increased definition and ability to increase font size my eyesight is not what it used to be so have difficulty reading the ipad screen 1 best invention ever think so absolutely love my kindle like reading on it the books are easy to purchase the kindle is easy to navigate and have zero complaints also bought kindle for my mom at the same time UNK mine and she loves hers too 1 kindle wireless reading device wi fi display graphite absolutely love this reader this near perfect device at great price if you enjoy reading as much as do you need this 1 kindle wireless reading device wi fi display graphite latest generation want to start by saying am about the last person you suspect to be in the know tech wise am so bad tech wise that my husband had come home in anticipation of teaching me to use my kindle really was ready to use straight out of the box and so easy my husband could have stayed at work have had UNK cord UNK and so to my UNK have not been able to read holding book and turning pages is not possible anymore with my kindle simply push button in any position am in and am on the next page love it so much and am so grateful to amazon for creating it am considering getting one for my year old who also always has his nose in book 1 love it this beats books hands down good fit wish didn wait so long enjoying reading all over again 1 in love was hesitant to buy an reader did lots of research on all my options and am thrilled with my kindle it made me enjoy reading again it small and lightweight and easy to use really comfortable to hold used it at the beach few weeks back and it was perfect no glare no pages flying around in the breeze fantastic 1 UNK UNK having complete library in such small space is amazing it easy to read in variety of lighting conditions and has long battery life 1 like my kindle it does exactly what it is supposed to do its great book have read few books on my laptop but have found the kindle to be much more satisfying lightweight easy on the eyes and charge that lasts and lasts very much enjoy receiving my newspaper daily didn need or want another computer ipad and can say have made the right choice and with the 3g its possible to surf the net when needed 1 kindle is awesome love the kindle have been using this for month now and still not used all the options it has was able to charge the battery once and it stays on for weeks it is light to hold as it holds hundreds of books at time it is like carrying your favorite library along with you wherever you go the display is great even in UNK sunlight and easy to read as books are delivered to your kindle through whispernet it is quick easy and saves the time of driving to the store if you are busy you can share your favorite passages with other kindle readers which is great most of the books in paperback are cheaper when you buy for kindle and some of the old classics are free my only regret is that did not buy the case which costs another 30 some bucks it would be nice if this sold at an affordable price in short kindle is more than asked for 1 the newest kindle had 2nd generation 3g kindle and was pleased with it live in rural area so sometimes had to take it to town or use my pc to add books otherwise it performed as expected take it most everyday so size and UNK are important really wanted the new version and had home for my old one my mom who would really benefit from the adjustable font sizes did my research so wasn expecting big changes nor was necessarily able to justify the cost but bought one anyway decided to just buy the wifi and skip the 3g since have wifi at home don travel too much wifi isn too hard to find when away from home anyway and prefer shopping for books from my pc instead of directly from the kindle besides the overall size and UNK the screen is the same size but sharper like the quieter page turning buttons and like the controller much better the smaller keypad doesn bother me as some have indicated the size and UNK is improved haven had it long enough to comment on battery life between charges the wifi works great and is quick if were looking for something to surf the web with or play games then would look elsewhere but for reading books still think kindle is the best choice 1 very good does everything and more little bothersome loading pdf from computer have to send to amazon to convert to right system language otherwise it well worth the price 1 kindle love reading books on my kindle it fits in my purse so is there for me when am waiting for appointments 1 newest is best my wife had the first generation kindle then gave it to her mother and bought the second generation bought the third generation and we think it is the best the compact size is amazing compared to the prior two versions the print UNK and contrast is very good button positions are all good this is real value for 139 1 zooming is necessary for kindle software kindle itself is great device give stars but have problem with kindle software specifically with kindle for pc kindle for android write here because can find review place for those anyway some books are not readable using kindle software because it doesn have zooming capabilities specifically you can read UNK fonts and small charts for example ve purchased UNK on success book that is written using UNK style pictures and it very hard to read on pc using kindle and impossible to read on android phone amazon please add some kind of zooming to kindle or add more much bigger fonts UNK 1 so happy am so happy with my kindle was little doubtful at first that it wouldn have tons of screen glare but it really reads just like paper no glare at all its lightweight and slim so it fits easily in my purse but it is big enough to read easily unlike phone kindle apps love all the options like sorting my books into collections with over 300 digital books and UNK its nice to be able to sort them by personalized collection and can go from using my pc kindle to UNK pull out my new kindle and it syncs with my pc kindle so can start reading again right where left off its very easy to hold and operate love it 1 in love love my new kindle am in awe of how many books can download and read work at library and deal with books all day long but would never check anything out didn want to bring work home with me now with my kindle can catch up on lot of reading and still not have to lug around stack of books am positive my kindle will be my best friend on couple vacations have in the near future 1 kindle simple to use stunning readability smaller than expected opening the box powered on the device come about 50 charged in my case it is simple to use setup and work with has stunning readability but was smaller than expected everyone show it to loves the quality of the screen though they all try to turn pages by touching the screen rather than pressing the buttons on the side guess sign of the times with the ipad and other touch screen devices these days the kindle was easy to connect to the wireless network and downloads books quickly via both wireless and the mobile data network there are load of 00 books on amazon to get you going too transferring pdfs onto the reader is UNK and they look well the limited internet browsing is not too bad though easier if you use the kindle on it side overall surprisingly good product at fair price 0 should be able to change email addresses my husband bought my kindle for me for christmas last year what nice surprise and have enjoyed using it and have bought approximately 100 titles for my device each time purchased the transaction information went to my husband email since this is what he used when using my kindle about august sept he asked me to please change it to my email address so this information could come to me instead of him did change this by calling the amazon kindle rep few days later tried to UNK archived items from my kindle and they are gone called the amazon kindle rep and was informed that the titles have to stay with an email account person can change accounts and expect their purchases to follow how very frustrating since then have looked everywhere on the kindle sight and do not see anything that UNK person about this there are several locations that they rave on about being able to archive and sync to other devices by the way they were gone from my ipod also have called and complained and explained that maybe the rep that changed my password for me should have warned me of this needless to say be UNK never let your internet provider change names and pick the email address that you will have for life 1 awesome but needs couple software updates for five star rating okay it great device and love the text to speech option it makes for great way to listen to book on your daily drive to work and relax and read it when you get home speech is not audio book quality but good enough to listen to secondly the screen is clear and clean web function is okay so why only stars software updates are needed would like to see more options such as my battery status on every page not just the home page give me the option to turn that on secondly would like the option to see real page number for the physical book and current chapter more advanced options and preferences would be great such as the option to purchase more voices configure menus etc one last thing would like to see on the amazon website if the book does not have the text to speech option enabled on amazon would like to be able to request that option before buying book this would allow the UNK to understand the UNK of the feature being enabled 1 great reader very happy but well this is the perfect toy for voracious reader like me it is nice also that it provides books in english to UNK though not all of them yet without the hassle of waiting for days to weeks ok but maybe the amazon website should have been clear about one thing saying 3g can be used to access the web for french users instead of saying they may not hesitated since the 3g kindle turned it into 250 dollars purchase it connects yes indeed but only through wifi well should have known better maybe amazon will reach an UNK with french internet UNK till then better live near UNK or UNK to get free internet connection but guess that not the point with this product it is reader meant to read not surf so still very UNK about it just had the impression the information wasn quite clear UNK of course 1 brilliant idea am enjoying my kindle everyday it is compact and easy to carry everywhere there is great variety of books available for purchase and the purchasing process couldn be easier have made good decision to buy the kindle 1 kindle love it got my kindle few days ago and love using it since computer literate was up and running ve had no problems with so far 1 recommended my daughter friend recommended this as she has one got this for my grandson in hopes it will UNK his UNK no phone or games just reading thank you UNK 1 better than expected actually got this as gift from my wife as birthday present never intended to buy one but being the reader that am my wife thought it would be unique gift for me to have must say that since getting it have been more than impressed with the product it very easy to use and it reads better than regular book in my honest opinion like the function that allows the reader to adjust the font on the pages have found that can actually read little faster than normal with this device as well that was something that had not expected another function that has come in handy is being able to put documents from work on the device as well the kindle has also proven to be worth its weight in UNK to me because am big fan of the old UNK and their UNK and can download lot of their works for very cheap price or free their works in print can still be expensive but downloading them is different story for example was able to download john UNK complete work of the UNK of the UNK UNK for mere 99 cents to get hard copy of the book would still cost me 30 to 50 bucks after month of owning it have had no technical problems with it 1 perfect reader for bed side used to read on an ipad but now do so on my kindle exclusively extremely light and you practically never have to charge it there are lots of free books my only complaint the browser is almost not usable also the page up down buttons on both sides of the kindle can easily be pushed by mistake 1 kindle love love love it compared the nook and kindle forever and sooooo happy didn get nook the kindle is so light and easy to use books are downloaded UNK wanted to get an pad but it was too expensive and large just for reading got it almost month ago and have read every day still haven had to recharge the battery well worth the wait 1 ve started reading again even if forgot my glasses love the adjustable print size fits into my medium size purse and is ready to pick up and read anywhere have few extra minutes anxious to explore the free reading list there are also few free word games returned the regular cover for the lighted cover and it is thicker and heavier than regular cover which makes it difficult to fit into small purse might give extra protection but nice when wake up in the middle of the night and decide to read 1 kindle 3g wireless reading device am so happy with my kindle travel fairly often and used to carry few books with me now can take whole library in one little compact device love it it so easy to read and very easy on the eyes in couple of weeks ve read books and have never had any eye strain the book selections are amazing and coming from amazon that expected would recommend this device to everyone 1 new to readers love my kindle read the reviews on line and decided on the kindle when ordered the kindle was on backorder but it came in just over week my first time dealing with amazon and received email updates on the status everything has been efficient purchased the case with reading light and just love the look the light is very bright at night find the kindle fantastic for reading am not highly computer savy and can UNK the kindle easily and add books and documents have downloaded some of my work pdf and find this function not as flexible there is no text adjust but reading in landscape mode can see the entire width of the page highly recommended 1 original kindle owner love my kindle ve had my kindle wifi for month now and love it being the proud owner of an original kindle and the UNK of over 600 books for my kindle UNK to my kindle until UNK to the kindle by the wifi option 3g never worked out here on the UNK am impressed with the new clarity of the UNK against the screen and with the lightness of the kindle also impressed with the amazon service since my first kindle3 had defect and these guys got me new one by overnight express one little complaint keep pressing the back button rather than the way mouse thought get used to it but hasn happened couldn the way mouse be the very bottom item also wish the battery could be owner replaced as in kindle guess that makes little complaints love the battery life and the UNK usb ac charger love the graphite color my kindle was the absolute UNK white when laid it to rest also love the kindle for pc feature keep the kindle pure amazon don turn it into UNK trying to meet everyone wishes you re good at what you do kindle keep it up 1 great product this is the best tool for the UNK like me you just carry all your favorites so no matter when or where you finish book you can start the other right away 1 our new kindle we love our new kindle my wife loves to read she loves it too we were disappointed when we ordered UNK of our fathers and the author didn UNK the use of the text to speech feature my wife has had eye UNK and won be able to enjoy her new book for few days 1 this is great an reader UNK been thinking about getting kindle for while but UNK bought it to use primarily when traveling to save room in my luggage do lot of reading while relaxing by the pool kindle is very easy to use even for me would UNK recommend to anyone who enjoys reading 1 free to read bought the 3g wifi unit day before leaving for UNK hi for UNK and short vacation was able to load two novels had been meaning to purchase within minutes and was ready to travel with no time consuming trips to barnes and noble used this product the entire time traveling and while waiting for my wife to complete her shopping UNK am thrilled with the feel of reading on this product page turning is eliminated and holding the book on the beach is greatly simplified whole UNK recommend this new reading experience to everyone am purchasing another in white for my wife who enjoyed this new experience as well 1 3g kindle love it even the newspaper and magazine subscriptions aren bad would highly recommend 1 as good as book maybe better took the kindle plunge with the newest generation after wanting one for while am very happy that did the screen is beautiful everyone show it to is amazed and lot of people don think it an actual screen until you change the page buttons on both side are very useful since it small enough to hold in either hand it just the right size not too small so you get good amount on each page and not so big that it awkward to handle compared to book the only thing can really think would rather have book for is that you can get book UNK drop it UNK it and replace it lot cheaper otherwise prefer the kindle no pages to hold open sit it on the counter and it won flip closed more compact and lighter easier access to lot of books and no traveling to buy book at the store or waiting for delivery 1 great job amazon wow totally blown away got the kindle yesterday and already totally in love with it had an ipad but sold it because it is as useful as broken computer got the kindle and totally happy now it light has the awesome ink screen long battery life what else do you need update just one thing don understand and see that many many customers are talking about amazon why don you UNK epub format please if there is any amazon UNK reading this listen to your customers and stop UNK like apple that has totally UNK environment still an apple lover about kindle books now they are really great and love the way amazon organizes them the manage your kindle all that just don understand how many ebooks are more expensive than their paperback version this just does not make sense amazon please do something about it 1 love my kindle have had my kindle for several weeks now and love it originally purchased it because of vision problems and arthritis in my hands which makes reading traditional book very difficult with the option to increase the font size and the light weight and thinness of the kindle those problems are long gone my only complaint and reason UNK one star on my review with my new kindle is the keyboard it is very small and the letters are not easy to see don text on my cell phone which would probably make it easier to use this keyboard as would already be familiar with the size and layout though do type so can get around little easier than if didn but do wish they make the lettering on the keys easier to see bought my son an reader called the book and love the keyboard on it overall though my experience with my new kindle has been wonderful ve already finished one book and have started on another due to the UNK problems mentioned above haven been able to read for pleasure in over year 1 my precious love my kindle and take it everywhere besides reading also love to browse for books on amazon com now can read almost everywhere and do not have to carry two or three books with me can read without having to hold book with both hands can put it down without having to remember the page can change books with few clicks and so on my kindle became my precious in just few weeks one slight problem but knew this when bought it is that when it is dark you need reading light so my advice to you buy this together with your kindle if you like to read much kindle is must have 1 best investment ever made the ease of downloading and the ability to adjust the fonts the pages are godsend 1 reading is better than ever the kindle 3g is versatile easy to read and easy to handle it has more and better features than the previous kindle own what would be helpful would be video on all its features is there such video available on line 1 awsome great device easy to use and has great features cant live without it holds plenty of books and has many free books to UNK for free also amazon UNK big with this one what are waiting for go order one 1 UNK this is fantastic buy love the fact that can conveniently buy book and start reading it straight away not to mention being able to read the daily news paper on the subway without making all the noise of folding UNK and the size is fantastic and non UNK to other UNK space 1 awesome my wife just loves it since bought it for her she is not putting it down loves everything about it 1 fabulous buy the kindle 3g wi fi is awesome was so excited to find the talk feature where the book can read to you very useful to listen to the book while driving in the car but also while flying or laying in the sun so you don need to hold the book and ruin your UNK 1 really like it at this point don think there is anything anyone can add to the kindle 3g reviews UNK their personal preferences got it yesterday and already read couple hundred conventional pages can tell you prefer the screen to paper think the contrast and sharpness is better for my eyes at least it also lighter than most paperbacks there are few things won be able to do with it like read in an airplane from the moment sit down it will have to be shut off when they close the door UNK we reach 10 000 feet and doubt will do my standard hot UNK and read UNK with it when travel to strange hotels but for reading on the go it sure beats having to buy airport novels it small light and the charge lasts very long time also like the fact can put adobe files in it to have some reference manuals need and not have to boot up my laptop 1 highly reccomend we highly recomend this item we live and travel lots in our UNK this is very good device we love it and recomend it we are ordering more for our kids it UNK the killing of trees for paper also saves on storage of books UNK UNK its storage and size it is great piece to have 1 love my kindle after spending years reading books on my phone finally made the switch to kindle and love it my kindle goes everywhere with me and and love the fact that it don have it can still read my book on my phone have started reading the new york times and several magazines due to the UNK also find that use the web browser more than thought would mainly to read the mobile version of my local newspaper which does not have kindle edition only disappointment is that am unable to read the ebooks that used to check out from the library 1 the future of books if you can read buy kindle if you can read buy kindle and learn this is the future of books sorry waited so long to order one but now that have my 3g wi fi wonder ll never be without it it beats buying paperbacks hands down and has one benefit that love no more loaned books that are never returned 1 loving kindle love the kindle can read without carry heavy books around all the time and the work games are incredible thanks kindle 1 kindle latest gen product as advertised display is non reflective and easy to read only downside is that it is slow to power up and update otherwise perfectly happy with purchase 1 better then expected ve had my kindle latest generation for two weeks now have to say it is much better then expected was unable to try kindle in any of the retail stores that worked was very dissapointed in that respect no one had working model also looked at nook and UNK it because of the time it took to UNK new page had hoped to see the kindle in action before purchased one none the less ordered one through amazon com and it is wonderful have been reading books for over years now but only on palm UNK smart phones and my computer wanted very much to have dedicated book reader and have found that in the kindle the image is crisp and clear and easy to see read the flash when turning pages is not has bad as the nook and does not UNK me near as much has had figured it would read in bed and the weight is not bad and turning the pages is easy being on either side of the kindle one thing never even thought before happened reading regular paper books used to run my finger down the page as read it always helped me to focus and read faster never knew how much missed that until got kindle you can not do that with touchscreen smart phone so over the years the habit has left me once got used to touching the screen with nothing happening started back to my old ways of running my fingers down the screen as read we always talk about the look of real book but this also has the feel of real book for me guess sometimes its the little things that escape us that bring us much joy 1 amazing product was gift and mom loves it so far we still need to guide her through it since she not too electronic savvy but sure she could figure out if she tried great job with this product 1 it wonderful ordered kindle 3g wireless reading device free 3g wi fi in japan use this for UNK of japanese pdf document and internet though it UNK not to be able to do japanese input here is no UNK in the amount that UNK japanese site at all sorry in poor english 1 amazon kindle 3g makes this very versatile is well worth the price very quick downloads like browsing in bookstore as one is able to pick up book read sample including UNK aspects reviews etc without purchasing anything many free books also 1 love it had the sony book before and the kindle is so much nicer very light weight and the screen is non glare love that don have to connect the book to my computer also love that can manage my books download delete which isn really UNK because your purchased book is always available for re download from your account with amazon all from your kindle have only wi fi and that plenty only wish there was way to lend out book to friend 1 best kindle yet no UNK wishes or issues before bought the kindle was satisfied kindle user one night picked up my kindle and found the screen was cracked and completely unusable not sure how that happened but left it in UNK location so one of the kids may have put weight on it and the k2 was heavy enough that hadn wanted to use the amazon book style cover on it so it was more or less UNK anyway hadn purchased accident UNK called amazon about fixing it but for 85 to replace the screen plus shipping both ways it wasn cost effective to fix it decided to buy the third generation kindle instead and given that had rarely used whispernet while traveling opted to for the 139 wifi version in every aspect the 3rd gen kindle is equal to or better than the kindle and it runs UNK around the original kindle the two best features of the kindle are the bright screen and the smaller size and weight also prefer the new page advance back buttons when say the screen is brighter that not technically accurate it has less UNK whiter background the biggest failing in my mind of the kindle the characters are UNK slightly better it also possible that it UNK light little better the net UNK is that it noticeably brighter looking and has better contrast making it easier to read the kindle light weight made it UNK to buy an amazon cover for it with the cover there less UNK that ll be replacing the new kindle because of damage the decision to UNK whispernet in favor of wifi also turned out to be good move it saved good deal of money and don absolutely need the 3g wireless to be sure if were frequent traveler and esp regular international traveler would have opted for the 3g version but travel probably 10 12 times year almost entirely in the if you absolutely need to download new book you ll find way to access wifi wherever you are and always keep about half dozen books want to read stored on my kindle so have yet to need any wireless on the road as small bonus the wifi connection is much faster than the 3g connection for downloads one UNK to pick this is problem ve had with all kindle models and the 3rd gen version is no better or worse have trouble getting good hand grip finger position on the kindle that isn accidentally pressing some key on the keyboard or UNK onto the screen the ergonomic design needs work for man hands my wife doesn have much issue with this the UNK space below the screen and above the keyboard doesn feel like it large enough for me the new UNK page buttons leave more space on the bezel but it seems about equal to the kindle around the edges because the overall size of the newest kindle is bit smaller it UNK do prefer the back of the 3rd generation kindle which is easier to grip but all in all like bit more attention paid to ergonomics suited to man hands mine are about average size one suggestion add keyboard combination that turns off all but one key on the keyboard or to skin the cat another way make the kindle UNK casing slide UNK to UNK the keyboard and UNK to cover it that would add weight though bottom line probably using the keyboard of the time that using my kindle while reading accidentally press keys more than like so the keyboard as it stands is drawback despite that UNK love the kindle also have an ipad and there just no comparison for real forget yourself reading the ipad lovely glossy screen works against it in its reader capacity it completely unusable outside unless you re in deep shade or it nighttime the original ipad is also far too big and heavy to read comfortably in any position except sitting up in chair the ipad also UNK through battery charge life when using the well done kindle app on the ipad the kindle may not be as sexy as the ipad but if you try both you ll quickly realize that the kindle is the right tool for the job of reading use the ipad for reading only in pinch to sum up the 3rd generation kindle is the best reader ve tried extremely satisfied with the product and my purchase experience recommend it to anyone who is serious reader looking for the best reader experience 1 not bad little device but let me just say up front that nothing will ever replace the feeling of holding leather bound edition of your favorite book while UNK up in your study with hot UNK of UNK grey at your side that being the case readers like the kindle might very well save the earth and the book itself for serious readers by UNK our UNK on paper for more disposable UNK things like newspapers and magazines case in point newspapers use up lot of trees lot of trees magazines almost as much so being able to receive these UNK could go long way toward saving the environment and having them delivered to your pocket is UNK convenient if the publishers are willing to pass off the savings of not using physical materials to the consumer so far they aren and it almost as if we re being UNK for going green when it should UNK be cheaper given the formatting problems of many kindle newspapers and magazines the medium is being treated as an UNK by publishers as opposed to viable alternative as far as reading books with it the main reason bought the kindle was because have something like 400 old star trek and doctor who novels saved on my computer and this was an easy way to take them around with me again the convenience is amazing the kindle remembers where you left off and will take you back stuck waiting in UNK pull out your kindle and read quick few pages waiting for your significant other to decide what to wear finish that article about UNK UNK you left off on earlier talking with friend about an article you read pull it out on the spot and show him having it all in one place is so mind UNK convenient free and low price games also add to the many ways to UNK UNK and things like an experimental mp3 player and web browser show that amazon are still trying to improve it the wi fi UNK is iffy at times but thankfully there are no other differences between the basic and 3g versions and depending on how many hot spots are around you may be UNK economical alternative now on to the downsides the price of UNK content is currently extremely expensive for new material again books that do not have paper printing and UNK or distribution costs to worry about should in no way cost the same as their paperback UNK again unless publishers are willing to pass along the savings in material costs to the consumers it will limit the kindle appeal worse yet many the free classic books amazon UNK which should UNK balance out the UNK are done by UNK and in lot of cases you get what you pay for in terms of typos and poor formatting or lack of graphics sherlock holmes and the UNK men as an example with mp3 players you could rip your own cd collection for content to fill them up without paying the UNK prices of places like itunes store but since it nowhere near as simple to UNK book you re for now left at the UNK of the publishers one other thing needs to be addressed in the decision to purchase an reader when you buy new paperback in most cases more UNK than the book version you then have physical object that when you are done with you can give to friend sell on ebay or other UNK market or even UNK to local library tax refund with an book you re paying premium for book that you and only you and kindles registered to your amazon account can enjoy and when done with it you are left with no way to UNK your investment unless you return the book which is somewhat UNK for its own reasons this UNK the value of the book in my opinion add to it that without physical stock to UNK out publishers and UNK have less incentive to put ebooks on sale and there will be fewer UNK to be found also amazon UNK as to battery life are rather UNK UNK and will vary UNK based not only on wi fi being on but actual use see the unique electronic paper doesn actually use power to display page only to change it the faster you turn the pages the faster you go through the batteries even with wi fi off that one month estimate may actually be only two weeks if you read like do and with regular wi fi on as little as days don know about the 3g version but imagine the drain would be even worse thankfully it comes with it own wall adapter and imagine car adapter is around the corner all in all the kindle is fine reader for the price and has amazing potential but the current limitations of the media need to be taken into consideration before you decide for yourself if you want to pull the trigger and buy one 1 kindle although was skeptical about buying the kindle since it is relatively new product have been more than pleased with it it is very portable and does not take up much space making it perfect for traveling work or the beach the wifi also makes this product very useful am able to bring it to the coffee shop in the morning and take advantage of the built in wifi overall think the kindle is great product and perfect alternative to most paperback books while sometimes paperback books are convenient think that the kindle is more economical and UNK friendly
