 The library of the future... October 12, 2008

When I was first introduced to the Kindle by my pre-teen son I figured the Kindle was another 'hot' gadget destined to fade over time.
I adore the feel of a book, the smell of the pages, the cover art, the sound of the pages turning as I read. How could a computer like device ever give me the same joy?
The answer is YES it does. After a few moments reading on the Kindle I felt as if I was reading a book. The pages look and read like a real book. The best part is you have all your reading material with you in one thin book. Image your out and about waiting for someone, in a car line to pick up, in between your weekend games...you can pick up your Kindle read the paper, read your book or instantly download a book your friends just raved about. And, if you forget your glasses (for those over 40) no problem. You can simply change the font size and start reading.
Fantastic money-saver and convenience for serious readers!!! October 12, 2008

I've had my Kindle for 5 months and have taken it on 2 week-long Carribean vacations as well as reading non-stop at home. Its fabulous, easy to see and read, small and handy, with extremely quick downloading of books. I've read over 30 books in that time.
Its more than paid for itself a few times over with the saved shipping charges plus the discount price for new books.
Plus, its wonderfully convenient not having to lug around books or wait weeks for sellers to deliver a load, etc.
Even for the casual but fairly constant reader this is a MUST.
A few books I've wanted were not yet on Kindle, but this thing is so convenient that I'm going to wait for them - there's SO much to choose from its no problem!

I read about the Kindle in Time Mag, but that article suggested a second version would be coming out in early October as there were a few shortcomings the reviewer thought needed improvements.
I bought the first version and my wife is waiting for the update. Is it out yet???
would recommend October 12, 2008

I would highly recommend this to anyone who reads and does not like to be without a book. It is convenient, compact and easy to read.I was a little skeptical at first, but not anymore.
