 Kindle and Amazon - A great product and great service March 20, 2010

I love my kindle. My husband purchased the Kindle DX for me for our anniversary. It was the best thing he's ever bought for me. I've taken it just about everywhere with me. I read when I'm working out, it reads to me when I drive. LOVE IT. However, I had a problem with the Kindle DX and I contacted Amazon.com. The service was outstanding and they helped me resolve my problems. Between the Kindle and Amazon's service, there couldn't be a better combination.
Love it!!! March 19, 2010

My husband purchased the Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device for my birthday this year. I turned 56 and my eyesight is not what it used to be so I was not enjoying reading books as I've always done in the past. Since receiving my Kindle, I'm back to reading every chance I get. I love the convenience of downloading a book in less than 30 seconds and being able to hold the Kindle with one hand comfortably and also the setting of the bigger font. It has been the best present I've ever received. I love it and cannot say enough good things about it.
 books cost too much, great tool March 19, 2010

i would love to use this book for school but the price of USED text books cost less than the Kindle discount price. what is worse is that i can sell the used text book when i am done reading it which makes the cost difference even greater.
I don't go anywhere without it March 19, 2010

Exactly what I was looking for. After researching several products I opted for Kindle and I'm sure I made the right choice. Now I can take all my books with me everywhere I go.
Hardware good downloads not March 19, 2010

Firstly the good bit - The kindle is very good although you'll need a US main adaptor to charge it from the mains (I thought it was a legal requirement for electrical items to be fitted with a UK 3 pin plug here - But I guess Amazon get round this by directing you to the US site to buy it - Sneeky!)
Now the bad bits - I was on holiday in Egypt recently so decided to download a UK newspaper. What a load of rubbish! One picture on page one and thats your lot! The rest is one huge wad of text bearing no resemblance to the actual newspaper and this was the case for all the UK papers. I also wanted to download probably one of the most popular series of books for sale at the moment - One of the Harry Potter books but amazingly they're not available! The kindle is also supposed to let you browse certain sites (well they'relisted on the menu) These include Amazon, CNN and the BBC but I've had no success as yet.
So all in all a good product mared by lousy support - My opinion - Buy an Ipad when it's released - wish I'd waited!
