Kindle Electronic book October 14, 2008
My son is really enjoying this gift! He is an avid reader and has boxes and shelves loaded with books--this lets him continue reading new material and not create more clutter! He is pleased with how easy it is to go online and order new books.
Loved it so much we bought two! October 14, 2008
My husband and I fought so often over who got to use the Kindle, that we recently purchased our second one. We love this product and the ability to share our on-line Amazon library between both devices really fueled our decision to purchase another. We couldn't be happier!

So far I am pleased with the Kindle in that it has offered the features I wanted. Most specifically the ability to change printed type size, whenever it makes sense. Yes at times tired eyes benefit from larger type. Not much found about this feature in my early consideration.
The ease of moving through a document was better than I had expected. Only complaint is difficulty in locating my current location if I relocate for any reason. An instant "you are here" feature tracking your current, latest location would be helpful.

I debated a long time before I decided to take the plunge. Best purchase I have made in a long time

On whole, I am delighted with my Kindle.The selection of available titles is nothing less than impressive. I do have one complaint though: the "paddle" controlling the "next page" function, particularly on the right side should be smaller as any handling of the unit results in advancing a page or two (it is difficult to position the unit in it's cover without advancing a page). Another suggestion, would be to scrap the retainer "card" on the cover and find a way to fasten the Kindle to the cover corners with some sort of spring release, which would make the former problem less pressing. These are annoyances that in no way reduce the viability of the unit and has solved my book storage problem and with a font that I can read---win,win!
