Very Nice, A Few Quirks
I like the Kindle very much. Some of the things that could be improved are as follows:
1. Bigger screen - Kindle is nice for reading novels and items such as the bible, however, the screen is a bit small and for this price, it could be much bigger. I read a lot of technical manuals with diagrams and the screen is too small to do it justice.
2. Direct sunlight on screen causes letters to wash out. I think the screen is light sensitive, when reading in super bright light such as sunlight; I have to close the cover when changing pages to keep the letters from washing out.
2. When buying a book with an accompanying CD, the CD is usually not available. This is a pet peeve and has made me buy the book anyway, just to receive the companion CD.
Basic Perfection
It is pretty simple in my book. The Kindle is exactly as advertised! I have had my Kindle for a month now and would not change a thing. My only complaint is I have not stuck to my original plan to still get books from the library. I can't bring myself to read a paper book anymore!!!! Great buy and I recommend all the way!
Amazing Device
The Kindle without a doubt offers an excellent substitute for a hard copy reading material. As a big reader I find the ability to download newspapers,and books a tremendous advantage, and no trees are lost in the process! In just a few minutes of using the Kindle I felt as though I had been using it forever. I find the built in dictionary allows me to read material that I might have avoided due to concerns over the " vocabulary of the period". This is a wonderful device,I hope they roll it out to colleges for textbook replacement. Who needs a hard copy?
Kindle in Alaska
I love this thing! Even though we don't have the whispernet up here (yet?), the Kindle is wonderful. I look forward to traveling with my Kindle and downloading directly and surfing the web!
Kindle
Everything was as advertised except the battery. The battery goes dead after a day or two of nonuse. This is very annoying to have to recharge everytime I want to read. I don't know if this is normal or I have a defective battery.
