- Todd.Have to say I love the Kindle. I don't normally do reviews, but I thought I should for this. The Kindle is light in weight, the speed of the page turner is fast, and the ease of setting it up and downloading books is perfect. I had previously purchased a Sony Reader a year or so ago and this is awesome compared to the Sony Reader. My mom has the Nook from BN and I played around with that first when comparing the two and the Nook is way slower than the Kindle and I didn't find the ease I do with the Kindle. My mom is actually looking to sell her Nook and purchase the Kindle.
- Elliott..The Kindle is a wonderful device for anyone that loves to read. The print is very sharp and easy to see because of the non-glare finish on the screen. The side buttons make it easy to scroll through pages and the "Archive" option helps you store those ebooks you really want to keep. Not to mention that all your ebooks are in a nice neat "To Go" library which enables you to reference them anywhere at anytime. The Kindle is a must have device for the modern day reader.
- Isulady..I was a real book lover and when I first heard about ebooks I was like NEVER!!!! But I tried one out that a friend had and Kinda liked it. I then went to move and I had boxes of heavy books which look great on the shelf but take up a lot of space. So I broke down and decided to reduce clutter in my life by buying a Kindle. I must say I am truly impressed. It was so easy to use right out of the box. I went to the kindle store and there were 750,000 books. Oh joy! I bought my first book on it(I ordered the 3g edition) and it took like 3 seconds to download. I love the fact that I don't have to go to the bookstore when I run out of books although just perusing in a bookstore is nice. All in all I would recommend this product to anyone that loves to read. The only thing negative that I have to say is really about the kindle store and not the kindles itself. I was really looking forward to buying some older out of print books and they just didn't have some of them. It seems to me that eventually you could offer every book that had ever been published at one point or another. Maybe they will work on that.
- Brin..Kindle (Wi-Fi) is a great choice if you already have a high-speed internet connection and wireless router set up in your home and do not need the added convenience of a 3G connection. 3G enables you to download books anytime, anywhere, while on the go. If you do not have Wi-Fi set up in your home, Kindle 3G may be a better option.
Kindle 3G (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) is the easiest option because there is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box. Built-in Free 3G connectivity uses the same wireless signals that cell phones use, but there are no monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for Kindle’s 3G wireless connectivity. The added convenience of 3G enables you to download books anytime, anywhere, while on the go—without having to find a Wi-Fi hotspot connection. With wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, Kindle 3G is a great option for travelers.
Lighter & Thinner - Only 8.5 Ounces
When reading for long periods of time, we know that weight matters. That’s why we worked hard to make our newest Kindle lighter than ever – only 8.5 ounces – so you can read comfortably for hours with just one hand. Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback, and thinner than a magazine. Just a third of an inch in profile, Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.
Ergonomic Design
Kindle is easy to hold and read. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages from any position. The new soft-touch, textured back is comfortable to hold and never gets hot in your hands.
Battery Life of Up to One Month
A single charge lasts up to one month with wireless off. Keep wireless always on and it lasts for up to 3 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store, web browsing, and downloading content.
