 Greatest investment ever July 31, 2010

I love books. I read all the time and I read probably two thick books in a week. So I end up spending a lot of money to get the newest releases and such. I got this Kindle for christmas last year and let me tell you, it has saved me a bunch of money and it's probably the best Christimas present i've ever gotten. I mean, it's inexpensive, light, and portable. I've never had a problem with it. You're actually getting what the ads offer. I've read when the sun is blazing,even put it directly in the sunlight and i swear there is no glare. I got a cool case for it so it still feels like a book. You have your own dictionary in there so you can point to a word you don't know in the text by scrolling down to it, and it will give you the definition of said word which i find very nice because you don't have to get out your dictionary and try to figure out what's going on.
You can also put 1,500 books on there which is kinda nice because you have basically a library on this tiny device and you can take all the books you want with you on a trip. Oh, and my favorite feature, the bookmark. I can't tell you how much i hate it when a bookmark falls out of place in a book, especially a big one, and you have to go hunting for that page! Well, now you don't have to. Even if you close the book on accident (which i have done on occasion) it automatically bookmarks the page that you were on so that when you open it again, it's right there. No hassle.
And the battery life really does last for up to five weeks. That's more than a month without having to charge it people! I couldn't believe it. In fact, I left it on on purpose to see if they were lying. They aren't. If you buy this product, you won't be sorry. It will save you a lot of money and time. If you read all the time, then this product is for you.
I love it.
Thank you Amazon, for making a product that fits the needs of readers all over the U.S. I finally have a way to keep all my precious books with me all the time. :)
Wonderful July 31, 2010

I got my kindle about a week ago and i have to say that i absolutley love it. I am so glad i don't have to buy a physical book that takes up space anymore. I love the screen pictures that show up when the kindle is asleep or turned off. The connection to the kindle store is wonderful. Thanks for making such a wonderful product.

My spouse purchased this junk for me. It wouldn't take a charge from almost day one without having to wrap the cord around the unit to hold the plug in just the right place. Within a few months, it started restarting repeatedly. Now it is completely frozen. Just buy a book and read it. Kindle is synonymous with junk.
Awesome! Exactly what I wanted. July 30, 2010

Absolutely love it! Just before I bought it, I went to visit family in Europe. As always, I came back with my carry-on stuffed full of books.. Very annoying.. A friend happened to buy one just after I came back, so I had a good look at it and decided to buy one. Never looked back. Offers plenty of space, even though memory is not expandable. Using the equally awesome Calibre Book managing software (Free), it lets me convert, edit, store and exchange all my ebooks between PC and Kindle 2. I didn't want a laptop, as I have one. I wanted a replacement for all the books I always end up buying when travelling, and this fits the bill perfectly. Great job Amazon!!

Hey everyone, I'm Marc Gittleman for TekiTV.Com, where we've been taking the latest gadgets for a spin to tell you if they're worth owning. Almost all forms of media have gone digital, so why not books? Amazon's new Kindle Wireless Reading Device makes the idea of reading digital books go from strange to sexy. The sharp, high contrast display screen creates an electronic paper effect that will make your eyes believe you are reading real paper. The kindle is simple to use, and you can connect to the Kindle Store from wherever you are to download the latest digital page turner. Over 125000 books are already available for download, most for under 10 dollars, cheaper than in the bookstore. The Kindle also offers free chapter samples from books so you can decide if they're actually worth downloading, and your favorite newspapers and magazines can be autodelivered to you wirelessly. The light and thin Kindle can hold over 200 books at a time, and has very decent battery life... you will only have to recharge the device every other day, and if you turn off wireless, you can read for more than a week without plugging it in. You don't need to find a WiFi hotspot to connect to the KindleStore, because the device uses a high speed data network similar to the best cell phones on the market... and there is no monthly payment or service charge for your wireless connection. The Kindle isn't cheap at a retail price of 359 dollars, but with the ability to take a library of 200 books with ...
Kindle Wireless Reading Device
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 ...
