The cover needs redesign August 19, 2008
The device is fantastic. The design of the leather cover is completely inconsistent with the device. The kindle falls out constantly. I had to use velcro dots to fix it in place. Please reconsider the way the kindle fits in the holder. The manual says there is a clip on the back of the kindle to lock it in place - there is no clip!
 Amazing Machine August 19, 2008

The latest books delivered instantly to your personal Kindle. I recently read a book review in a WSJ article. I purchased, downloaded, and was reading the book - in seconds. Incredible!
Reasonable prices; easy to learn; light weight and very convenient. I particularly love the high contrast of the text which allows reading even in dim light.
It takes a bit of effort to learn not to accidentally turn pages, but once I overcame my 'fat thumb' syndrome it was a breeze to operate. It also helped when I learned to bookmark - just like when you put down a hardback or paperback book. Kindle always remembers your place, but since 'stuff happens'.. A bookmark is a good backup.
While the reflectivity of the screen is very low, there is some glare when using a reading light in bed. I would like to see an accessory light which is made specifically for Kindle; a detachable, not built-in because that would add weight and use Kindle's power.
Kindle has quickly become indispensable. It now goes where I go.

My husband is an avid reader and a world traveler. The Kindle was the absolute perfect gift for him. He highly recommends it.
Best $350 I ever spent August 19, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I received the Kindle about 4 days ago. At this point I have downloaded two books, read one, and look forward to reading the other one. I have also subscribed to one of the blogs. I read a lot of books and thought that I would miss holding a book and that reading the Kindle would seem awkward and not like reading a book. The screen is so clear and the font size so adjustable that the transition from reading a book to the Kindle required absolutely no adjustment for me. The device is absolutely amazing. Being able to shop for a book and download it in less than 10 seconds is absolutely amazing. I absolutely love this device. It is the best $350 I ever spent. I look forward to reading many more books on the Kindle. You certainly can't beat the price of the books either. Amazon, I have shopped with you for several years, and I look forward to many more. You have a hit with this device.

While the product itself is amazing, I am most impressed with the customer service that went along with the transaction. In the days of declining or non-existing serive, Kindle and Amazon stood head and shoulders ahead of the next in line. thank you for such a positive experience.
