Definitely expanded my landscape of reading September 4, 2010 Pomin Wu I knew it was going to change my reading habit when I have decided to buy a Kindle. But having it with me for two months I find the scale of change is more than I have expected. The two most valuable features of Kindle is to me mobility and easy access to a new, albeit somewhat restricted, selection of books. It used to be that I have to wait for weeks before my ordered books arrived Taiwan, which isn't very encouraging for exploring new subjects.
Now it has completely eliminated all others books, and often the netbook, from my bag. It is much lighter and almost as easy to flip through as those paperbacks in my office. I can often finish a sample when commuting. And it has greatly eased the pain of having to wait for the new books to come. This combination works really great that I can feel my subjects of reading has broadened in the last two months.
I think it is a very nice device dedicated to reading, which is exactly what I need.
BETTER THAN EXPECTED! September 3, 2010 Alfred I. Nagel (Marietta, GA, US) We have been turned off by audio books and were wary of this type of product. We visited a store and put our hands on the Nook and realized that it would be a beneficial product. We purchased the Kindle rather than any of the competitor products because of the various reviews and evaluations. We have not been disappointed. For those who read a lot, even if you purchase used books, it is a valuable asset.
Books not avalible September 3, 2010 Geoff I have had this kindle for more that a year and use it almost daily. More and more I have had to go back to books stores as the books avalible seem to be very very limited. Right now on my Kindle it says "send us your input at kindle-feedback@amazon,com" Try to find this, they do not want communication. I am now looking at other readers to be able to get books that I want, not what they want to sell. Think they will read this , hardly, the are no real people to call or discuss this with.
Best e-reader at the best price. September 3, 2010 Amazon Gifter I wanted to give an e-reader as a gift to my wife. I researched every one I could find: Nook, iPad, etc. This thing just does what it does without a lot of hype. Simple, light, user-friendly, long battery life between charges. You can pay more, but if what you want is simple and economical you have to consider the Kindle.
