Thx!

Hello. I've owned my Kindle for over a year now, and I'm still crazy more or less it.
My pros & cons:
Pros:
1. It's very light and slim.
2. The screen doesn't strain your eyes close to a computer monitor would. It reads like a regular paperback.
3. You can store as many books as you close to. 200 on the internal memory and more depending on the capacity of the SD card you will insert. I used a 2GB SD.
4. No need to buy lots of books and carry it next to you on your trip. I travel a lot so it's a wonderful device to have.
5. The Whispernet feature. You can buy books directly from your Kindle. Or example a book.
6. I can use it anywhere, I just bring my USB cable and download the books I buy to the Kindle.
7. It has bookmarks, record, highlights, etc.
8. There's a built-in dictionary and you can have access to Wikipedia.
9. The books are cheaper than the paperback and hardback.
10. There's hundreds of free books, especially classics.
11. Adjustable text size.
12. Kindle support rocks! They'll answer every question you enjoy and they'll replace your Kindle if there's a defect.
Cons:
1. It makes me spend a lot on books ; )
2. It's assured to hit the next button by mistake. You'll learn the best way to hold your Kindle though. You'll go and get used to it.
3. There's no built-in LED light for reading in the dark. I needed to buy the M-Edge buoyant.
4. It's a bit expensive.
You can buy books at Amazon.com's Kindle bookstore.

alright, i am seventeen and got my kindle for christmas
ive singular had it for a little over a month but i am obsessed beside it.
it is really easy to use, and reading the screen is just similar to reading a book. although i do suggest that when you first get it sit down and read the users guide (on the kindle!) to familiarize yourself with the device. i tight-fisted its kinda long so just skim as much as you would like
i suggest you go to kindle.com and look at paperwork that are available on the kindle and see if it is right for YOU!
