Any one have a Kindle from Amazon

Question

If you do, how is it?

Is it worth the price?

Does it work well?

Any other info or opinions on it you'd like to share?

I know about the video clip on Amazon describing it and all, but I wanted unbiased opinions of it from those who've actually bought and used it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I have had my kindle for 3 weeks.  I purchased it thinking it would be a fun and interesting toy.  I am a very avid book reader and always have a book in my hand at home.  I must say that the Kindle knocked me out.  The print on the screen is very book like that it is hard to tell at times that there isn't a piece of printed paper on the screen. I have thus far read 2 complete books on it (1 from a series I am reading) and I must say that I am actually reading faster on the kindle.  Not that my reading speed has improved but because it is so much more convenient.  I am also the type of person that is always reading three books at a time as I jump from book to book depending on what I am in the mood to read. (usually a fantasy, mystery and an action/thriller) I can easily jump from book to book on a whim without missing a beat.  It also comes in handy on long car trips as my wife and I can switch books easily while the other drives.  The battery when fully charged has gone 5 days for me without having to be recharged. (Be sure to turn the WiFi off if you want your battery to last this long between charges)

The only down side I can think of is that the right side next page button is a little out of place for the way I read a book.  It took a few attempts to find a comfortable way to hold the kindle while I read.
