 amazing machine Mar 15, 2010
Very satisfied with my Kindle - hard to put it down at night. I stay up later than usual, and read till I can't keep my eyes open any more. My Kindle is small and light, and I am enjoying the experience very much.

Kindle 2 Mar 15, 2010
The Kindle 2 is very easy to use.I love that I do not have to plug in to my computer to download books.Books do load within a minute or less.All features are easy to figure out how to use.I thought the screen would not be large enough but it actually is plenty big enough.Many free books that you can load to the Kindle.I love my new Kindle.
For frequent travellers Mar 15, 2010
Living in Europe and working in China, Kindle solved all my problems of overweight luggages. Instead of carrying a lot of books, I simply have to put my Kindle in the luggage and I'm ready to take my flights. Even if I still love very much the feeling of a real book, I have to say that reading on Kindle is quite pleasant. Unfortunately there are no books for China yet. So when I finish my Kindle books stock, I can only wait to fly back to Europe to download new books.

Kindle - nice device, but could be done better Mar 15, 2010
Generaly I like this device, screen is great, battery is great, reading is great. But I was upset by some features that are a bit unusable.
1) I read many books with non-english characters and such books must be in UTF8. All my books are in another encoding, and setting cannot be changed in Kindle, so I have to recode all my books (dont now how at this moment)
2) books in UTF8 are sometimes not viewed properly (UTF8 is broken), I am still trying to find out what is causing this behaviour, as one paragraph in book is ok but another one is broken.
3) global wireless for my books is too expensive so practicaly unusable, i have switch it off
4) picture viewer is buggy and slow, so reading comics is not possible, at least not sufficiently comfort (reading is very comfortable)
the last thing - buttons, there are for me a bit though and "clicky" but I guess that it will improve with usage time.
The Kindle experience Mar 15, 2010
The Kindle is a wonderful device. It literally melts in the backgrownd and lets you enjoy the reading. The controls are easy and intuitive, and the reading screen is very comfortaable. The switch at the top could have been a little more visible from the front, but that is a very small detail. Also I would have prefered the page-up button to be at the left, but that is probaly a matter of personal taste.
Downloading is within 60 seconds so you never have to wait long for your new book. There are still many books not available in e-book format, but hopefully the selection continues to grow.
Some of the e-books have better navigation than others and the table of contents varies a bit, but these should be small adjustments and future books should be much better.
Accessing the Kindle store is easy and there is a great selection of books. You can try a sample and decide whether to buy the book or not which is a very attractive feature.
One of the great things is that you can read many books simultaneously, as you can cross-refernce ideas and compare views. You can immediately download a reference book and read the relevant parts before going back to the main book you are reading. You can always come back to the last place you read in any of the multiple books.
The service at Amazon is excellent. One of the best things of the Kindle experience is access to the store and the friendly support you get.
Thanks, Amazon for a great product.
