 The new Ipod for books and Newspaper September 7, 2008
I was given a Kindle by my kids for Father's day. I use it every day to get my newspaper. I have a choice of about 20 US newspapers. No more trash full of old papers with endless advertising (I think of the benefit to the environment). I recently traveled to Europe with my Kindle. I loaded 2 books which I read during the trip. Instead of lugging around 2 books, I just took my Kindle with me. There are a couple of improvements that would make the experience better. The way the next and previous buttons are laid out, it is easy to press one by accident. There is too much stuff, like the key board and buttons which makes the Kindle difficult to hold. It is pricey and I am pretty sure that the retail will eventually come down to about $49

'Love the kindle. It is just what e-books needed. Now, there's a true impetus for more content.
There needs to be a greater selection of newspapers, magazines and books available. While the book publishing community seems to be responding well, I can't say as much for the periodicals, as they're far too limited almost one year after launch. While I can still see myself buying books in addition to e-books, I'd never get another newspaper or magazine if it could be had on the kindle.
Regarding the firmware, I'd like to see an option to disable the right side, NEXT PAGE bar, and folder organization of content.
Also, the Kindle Daily blog should be a free delivery option, not just on the Shop Kindle home page. In fact, if it were, I'd likely visit the home page more often.
For the price, the included book cover should be canned and replaced with the M-edge executive leather or something comparable.
Also, 'really would like to see the power buttons moved to the top, front or bottom of the device, as it is a pain to access them on the back when a cover is used.

My best friend bought me my Kindle as a surprise gift just 2 days ago. This is the very best gift ever! It's so easy to use. The electronic ink is easy on the eyes. The bookmark is super cool. Lets you pick right up where you left off. I love that music can be downloaded to it to listen while you read. I can't say enough good things about this. I love it!

I purchased this Kindle about a month ago, and I am completely blown away! I love everything about it. It came fully set up with my information and name...all I had to do was start reading. It is super simple to use, and navigate. I would highly suggest this over other e-book readers, like sony. This blows the others out of the water. GET A KINDLE TODAY!!!
