 Kindle 2nd Generation September 5, 2010
kido71
I just love my new Kindle, it is easy to use with the page buttons on each side, the screen is great for reading, just like reading a book, the screen does not fade when reading in sunlight. I also like being able to download my books, Readers Digest and books from our local library, I am so glad I decided to purchase my new Kindle.
Great Device September 4, 2010

iPad? Sure why not, but don't discount the Kindle with it's easy on-the-eyes display, dictionary and light weight design it reads in the sunlight as easy as it reads indoors without the bulk of an iPad.
So, if you want an iPad that's great it's a wonderful device, but it's no substitute for the avid reader's indulgence like the Kindle; the two can coexist quite nicely.
Even better September 4, 2010

I am an original kindle owner and bought this for my husband. I loved it so much, I ordered the latest kindle for myself. We are now a 3 kindle family.
Definitely expanded my landscape of reading September 4, 2010

I knew it was going to change my reading habit when I have decided to buy a Kindle. But having it with me for two months I find the scale of change is more than I have expected. The two most valuable features of Kindle is to me mobility and easy access to a new, albeit somewhat restricted, selection of books. It used to be that I have to wait for weeks before my ordered books arrived Taiwan, which isn't very encouraging for exploring new subjects.
Now it has completely eliminated all others books, and often the netbook, from my bag. It is much lighter and almost as easy to flip through as those paperbacks in my office. I can often finish a sample when commuting. And it has greatly eased the pain of having to wait for the new books to come. This combination works really great that I can feel my subjects of reading has broadened in the last two months.
I think it is a very nice device dedicated to reading, which is exactly what I need.
