 My Kindle November 27, 2009
P. Lowry (Iowa Park, TX USA)
This is just the coolest gadget ever. I love it. It is easy to use and so easy to read. I've already downloaded many books and can't wait to get them all read.
Does what it is supposed to do November 27, 2009

Greetings
I'm a international kindle user from germany. The device is working to my full satisfaction.
To purchase and download content is easy and the prices are ok.
Only thing I miss would be the rss-reader.
Great International Kindle November 27, 2009
Aussie Books
I just LOVE my new Kindle - it works perfectly way down here in Australia!
The downloading only takes a few seconds for a whole book - it's fantastic!
I like the Text-to-Speech facility, but I will REALLY love it when they develop the technology further so that the voice sounds more real, and less compterised, and more importantly, when the voice knows when to pause at a comma, and pause longer at a stop.
Still, I rate it as 5/5 and I think that LOTS of visually impaired people will get a great deal of joy out of it, and so will elderly people, and students, and travellers who like to listen to books while driving.
Excellent product.
Buy it!
PS You can also find lots of free books to download into your Kindle if you check around the internet, and they come through perfectly too.
:)

I came to the Kindle late, but really love it, very convenient and relatively less expensive to pick off books I might not buy otherwise, second generation much more convenient, slimmer, lighter, buttons placed more conveniently, less likely to turn the page accidentally. I still miss the physical representation of a book to some extent, seeing where certain passages are on a specific place on the page, but the Kindle reads very well.

You have to get used to read a book without a book. I think I could never live without my favourite books as hardcopies, but the idea of carrying around so many books in such a small tool like Amazon Kindle is a very good one. I do not regret buying it. I learnt a lot.
