I freshly ordered a Kindle from Amazon.com?
I was just wondering if any one else has tried it and what they ponder of it?
Answers:
Hello. I've owned my Kindle for over a year now, and I'm still crazy about it.
My pros & cons:
Pros:
1. It's very reading light and slim.
2. The screen doesn't strain your eyes like a computer monitor would. It reads resembling a regular paperback.
3. You can store as many books as you like. 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 requirement to buy lots of books and carry it with you on your trip. I travel a lot so it's a wonderful device to own.
5. The Whispernet feature. You can buy books directly from your Kindle. Or sample a book. And it's wirelessly delivered to your device and free.
6. I can use it anywhere contained by the world, I just bring my USB cable and download the books I buy to the Kindle.
7. It has bookmarks, follow-up, 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 own and they'll replace your Kindle if there's a defect.
Cons:
1. It makes me spend a lot on books ; )
2. It's smooth to hit the next button by mistake. You'll learn the best way to hold your Kindle though. You'll return with used to it.
3. There's no built-in LED light for reading in the dark. I needed to buy the M-Edge wishy-washy.
4. It's a bit expensive.
You can buy books at Amazon.com's Kindle bookstore.

Also, you might want to check out the Kindle boards, they're very friendly and they'll answer whatever question you may own.
I have used the amazon kindle, unfortunately for my purposes i had to return it, i considered necessary to use it to read the vast amount of technical manuals i own around, but it did not support pdf, i ended up buying a jetbook which does that job wonderfully, i however have a friend and she is an avid reader, she loves her kindle. I'd see her freshly reading the kindle before we go out and she tells me she read about a novel every three days, and she just uses the kindle to force out for her books and she just gets them instantly.Now we're both ebook readers so i know that you dont' "miss" the reaction of holding a book in your hand because as she's said it, you have a intact potential library in your hand instead and it "looks" like paperback weekly. She did say it was a tab bit slow at turning a page and after a while she couldn't hold it with one hand(it's liberal big, one of the biggest ebooks) but if your an avid novel reader, i think you'll highly relish it.
