| I have had mine since last November and love it. It is so much easier to travel with than a paper book. It has passed through airport security 4 times and doesn't seem to be bothered by the screening devices.
I have no problem reading it in bright sunlight and I have a clip on reading light for night so I don't bother Gophette.
There are a huge number of books available from Amazon and they usually have current free offerings each month. In addition Amazon offers hundreds of free books (mostly old classics) and there are several other sites that have free downloads.
I have the Kindle I and haven't found anything about it I don't like. You get used to the lag in page turning fairly quick and even though it is easy to accidentally turn pages when you first start using it, you also quickly get used to holding it so that isn't a problem after about the first day.
It's $100 more, but I think I would almost hold out for the new DX. It has a larger reading area and offers many upgrades over the Kindle II. |
