5 out of 5 stars would recommend   October 12, 2008
I would highly recommend this to anyone who reads and does not like to be without a book. It is convenient, compact and easy to read.I was a little skeptical at first, but not anymore.


1 out of 5 stars What a Joke!!!!!   October 12, 2008

With all respect to Michael Lewis, this thing stinks. It doesn't work at all, freezes up, won't reset, and I'm stuck trying to get Amazon to take it back and either give me a new one that does work, or, give me my money back.

In short, great idea, and exciting to think that I could have all my books on one device. However, consider this the beta and wait until they really get it together for everyone, rather than just the people who have so much time on their hands that they can sort out all of the problems.

Good luck.

If you are into handheld video games, go for a Gameboy, DS or a PSP.


2 out of 5 stars 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.
