 Not happy with selections March 10, 2010
GRANNY READER (NY)
I belong to two book clubs and find that I cannot find the books that are assigned. This limits my use of the kindle. In addition, my town library downloads ebooks for Sony reader.
The book that I was able to download and purchase worked out very well and I enjoyed reading it on the Kindle. I find that it is much easier for me to read on the kindle and less strain on my eyes. But I must still take out books from the library because you do not have the books on Kindle.
I purchased my Kindle on Amazon and am sorry I did not check out the Sony reader before since I was told Kindle was the reader to purchase.
 Amazon Kindle Review March 10, 2010
T. Rose (Minot, ND)
I purchased my Kindle a little over a month ago and I have to say--I love it more than my books!
I am not a "techie" so I was very hesitant to spend $260 on a product I might not like. I did the research on the various readers, found the Kindle had the features I wanted and downloaded the Kindle PC version to get a feel for it.
And then, I took the plunge. I was impressed with it right out of the box. Easy directions, wonderful interface and a product that actually lived up to all the hype.
I am not a Kindle expert,:)I probably never will be. But I can download books from on line and be reading them even in a remote area like Northern North Dakota (think of Canada and come down about 40 miles.)
I read some reviews about people not feeling like they were actually reading a book, but I didn't find this to be true. It is lighter than a small paperback book, but holds up to a 1500 books! Have I mentioned I love it?
If you are hesitating buying an e-reader I'd say go for it and get a Kindle. I know I do not regret it.
I LOVE the Kindle March 10, 2010
Paul B. Wells (Burlington, NC)
Once you get used to the menu's and how to navigate the Kindle, I have nothing but love for this device. Saving trees, having our book collection in one spot, and being able to buy books on the fly....all great perks. Initially I bought this Kindle for my wife and I to share, suffice it to say I've not read a book on the Kindle yet, beyond a few pages here and there. We were concerned about going from the feel of a book in our hand to reading digital, transition was made the first day by both of us. The dictionary that follows your books is pretty cool too, some of those unknown words you tend to gloss over when reading, you can understand now with a minimum effort of moving the cursor over top of the word, and viewing the bottom of your screen. The other fear we had was in sharing books. Kindle Reader is available on the PC, my iTouch, and now on Blackberry's but unfortunately I have an older model. But being able to shift books around to different devices means I can read my books and trade since we share the same account. Looks like there is a 2nd Kindle in our near future. Great device. Thanks Amazon!
Kindle 2 Great March 10, 2010
D. Drake (Tampa)
I have had my kindle for a week. It is great. I find it to be a wonderfull device. I love the read to me application. I let it read to me while I cook or drive. I just wish the browser was better.
The Kindle itself is a great reader. I still have not tried everything it will do. What I have tried is wounderful.
Kindle International Disappointment March 10, 2010
Roberto di Sydney (Sydney, Australia)
I am disappointed that when ordering the Kindle, there was little or no warning that far fewer titles are available to Australian users than in the US. Many of my favourite authors are not represented at all, or if they are then only with few of their works.
Similarly no Australian and very few Italian newspapers are offered.
Over time I expect that the range will be extended but had I known the limitations I may have delayed the purchase, which was intended as a gift, but now I'm not sure it will be well received.

www.amazon.com Amazon Kindle is a software and hardware platform developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab126 for reading e-books and other digital media. Three hardware devices, known as "Kindle", "Kindle 2," and "Kindle DX" support this platform, as does an iphone application called "Kindle for iphone". The first device was released in the United States on November 19, 2007. The Kindle hardware devices use E Ink brand electronic paper displays, and are able to download content over Amazon Whispernet using the Sprint EVDO network. Kindle hardware devices can be used without a computer, and Whispernet is accessible without any fee. These devices also provide free access to the internet. Kindle devices sold prior to October 19, 2009 were sold only in the United States. On October 7, 2009, Amazon announced an international version of the Kindle 2 with a built-in GSM wireless modem for connectivity in over 100 countries, which will go on sale October 19, 2009 worldwide. On March 3, 2009, Amazon.com launched an application entitled Kindle for iphone in the App Store for iphone and ipod Touch owners to read Kindle content. Through a technology termed "Whispersync," customers can keep their place across Kindle hardware devices and other mobile devices. Amazon announced the Kindle DX on May 6, 2009. This device has a larger screen than its predecessors and supports PDF files natively. It is marketed as more suitable for displaying newspaper and textbook content. The Kindle competes with other e-paper devices: the Sony Reader, irex iliad, the Jinke Hanlin e-Reader, and cybook by Bookeen.
