Just love it December 4, 2008
I'm giddy about the Kindle. I just can't keep from smiling when I pull it out and have so much to choose from right in my purse. The only recommendation I would like Amazon to negociate is better pricing for the newspapers that are offered. Also, I hope the new model is not so new that I will feel that I made a mistake by not waiting a few more months.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY WIFE WHOM READS A LOT BUT SHE FOUND THAT THE CONTROLS WERE TEMPERMENTAL FOR HER. TO EASY TO MAKE PAGES TURN. THE CONCEPT IS FANTASTIC BUT NEEDS SOME TWEEKING. WISH I HAD NOT SPENT SO MUCH ON IT!! EVEN WITH WITH THE "O" SHOW SPECIAL
 Changed my habits December 4, 2008

This is one of those rare devices that completely changes your habits. I bought this for mostly business purposes, but have read more books for pleasure in the month that I've had it than I did the previous 9 months of the year.
I have hardly ever pressed one of the page turn buttons on accident. The wireless store connection is amazing and the samples of books is a great idea. That feature alone will probably suck me into buying more books from Amazon than otherwise. I had heard an interview with an author and just jumped on Amazon and downloaded the sample of the book he had just written. Amazing.
In short, I highly recommend this product.
Good Product, needs a better cover December 4, 2008
It does everything you want and is very convenient; reads just like a book. I just wish the cover and the how the kindle sits in it was designed a little better. And, of course, i wish you could "rent" books from the library through your kindle, that would make it perfect.
Addicted to my Kindle December 4, 2008
My Kindle was given me as a birthday present in June - five months ago. I am an avid reader, owner of a thousand or more books. Never thought I would tolerate a book substitute. It took a while, but now I am doing a big percentage of my reading on the Kindle. I find its screen startlingly friendly to the eye.
I recently discovered the availability of newspapers on Kindle, a real treat when away from my usual home delivery of the WSJ.
Will you continue to expand the "experimental" uses of the Kindle? How about email?
