 It was great while it lasted October 11, 2008
I loved my Kindle - I was reading a lot of stuff, it was fun to shop in the store, and i loved checking out new books and reader reviews. At first I was annoyed that I couldn't order new books on my Kindle but that was easitly resolved when I went on line and updated my Amazon.com account - for a month or so I was in heaven. I found some books I enjoyed reading - hell, I thought I had rediscovered reading again after a dry period of several years. Then, a few nights ago I took out my Kindle. To my horror the display showed black with several "lines." I could get no response. I charged it, i played with it, I coaxed it. Nothing but those horrid lines. I have only had it a short time - it is horrendously expensive. I am desperately poor and this little thing was a huge indulgence. Now, nothing. I have heard that Amazon is good a rectifying problems so I am trying, but I am out of town with nothing to read and have incurred great expense with this device. Give me one good reason that I shouldn't have just used that money to buy some fun paperbacks or whatever. God knows that it's as fun to browse a bookstore as it is to click around on line. So until I get this resolved, I would recommend that anyone hold off on a Kindle. I sure as hell wish I would have.

I just don't get why this is so expensive. I have a 3G iPhone with a FREE eReader app called Stanza. I can read the exact same books that the Kindle does plus all the other features of 3rd party apps including PDF support.
If Amazon really wanted to sell this thing they'd subsidize the cost and create a membership package to a virtual book club. 99 bucks for the reader and 29.99 a year for the club would the sweet spot for me.

After reading all the reviews I finally ordered my Kindle. I did the overnight delivery and had mine the next day! I am almost finished with my first book and I must say that the placement of the page buttons are a headache at times. It makes holding the Kindle while reading a pain because it is very easy to hit a the next page button. I hope that they will change the location of those buttons on the next version. With that being said I really enjoy it and it is well worth it , in fact when they come out with the next version I will buy the upgrade! Being able to change the font size is worth it all! The Kindle is pricey but like many other things in our lives...it is a luxury. Happy Reading!
Wonderful gift! October 11, 2008

I bought the Kindle for my daughter for her 25th b-day who reads constantly. The best gift ever! She absolutly loves it...who wouldn't. She brought it to her boyfriends house and everyone wanted to see it and loved it too. She reads out next to the pool, sunlight has no affect on it, so convienent. I knew it would be a fantastic gift when it's something I want. Gift cards would be nice so they can purchase books as part of the gift.
