I absolutely love my Kindle by Gary Frimann (Gilroy, CA United States)  5 Stars
November 26, 2009
I got my Kindle about 5 months ago and absolutely love it. I found myself reading more, and much more quickly, as I can get bigger text. Great invention, great tool. I have wanted one since I first saw Jeff Bezos on The Charlie Rose show and he displayed it there. It is an amazing device, and I strongly recommend people get one.
Thanks, Jeff! (and the Kindle team)

Finally in Amsterdam The Netherlands by A. Brenninkmeijer 5 Stars
November 26, 2009
Better than books ! Everything I hoped and expected. Even better battery life since the upgrade. I love reading it in bed because the keyboard raises the screen up so I can rest it on my chest and relax.
Screen is great, when I unpacked it, I could believe the instructions were actually a screen diagram.

Kindle and a Kindle Bag by Amy M. Ferrell (WA)  4 Stars
November 26, 2009
The Kindle is becoming a great friend of mine and I have enjoyed the transportability so much. I was looking for a cool bag to carry it in and googled Kindle Bags and found the cutest bags. Look for an Italian name, starting with a "B." If you have a Kindle and want to keep it protected, you should look them up. Love my Kindle!!!

I love It ! by M. G. Mitchell (Seattle, Wa.) 5 Stars
November 26, 2009
This is one of the best purchases of my life. I love this thing. It actually feels better than a book in my hand. It does everything I want it to and more. I bet I've sold 100 of these. Everyone asks, and after I show them it's capabilities I've never had anyone walk off without saying they are buying one for themselves or as a gift. I can find NOTHING negative about my Kindle II.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS "SWINDLE" by Elizabeth Allison (Denver, CO)  1 Stars
November 26, 2009
Don't buy the Kindle! Amazon does not sell all books that they sell in Hardback on the Kindle, specifically new releases. Their CEO and Oprah claim that you can buy new releases on the Kindle...good idea, POOR EXECUTION! Their delivery of newspapers to your Kindle is unreliable as well. Shame on Amazon! You should change the name of your device to SWINDLE!
