I haven't found any negatives so far, buy one and see for yourself.

Hard copy of Users Guide for Kindle by Eugene Bechamps  4 Stars
March 21, 2010
I would like to have been able to purchase a hard copy of the Users guide. NOT have to down load and print 131 pages which in my little computer took almost 6 hours, including refilling paper paper tray 4 times. Please recognize that all of your customers are not a computer whiz. We are just simple old people.

Really impressed with my Kindle by S. D. Bennett (Mishawaka, IN) 4 Stars
March 21, 2010
Ive had my Kindle for about a month now and so far, I really love it. It is very easy to read from and nice and lightweight. It feels good in your hands. I like to read in bed and some books are too heavy and trying to pry some paperbacks open for hours gets tiresome. The Kindle is so nice and light compared to regular books.
I'm still getting used to using it, but Im learning more everyday. So far Im very satisfied.

Don't worry about a little dampness! by Kitty Thompson (Arlington, Texas United States) 5 Stars
March 21, 2010
My Kindle arrived yesterday by UPS and sat in its box on my front porch for hours during a rainstorm. When I finally discovered it the entire package was soaking wet. I thought, "Oh no, oh no," the whole time I peeled off the sodden cardboard and squished the Kindle out of the styrofoam packaging. I carefully unfolded the instructions and set them on edge so they would dry. I then wiped off the Kindle with the nearest kitchen towel, turned it on, and got on with the rest of my life. It appears to be doing everything it is supposed to do and nothing it's not supposed to do. Although the packaging was entirely soaked, the Kindle seems to be completely unharmed. I wouldn't recommend dropping it in the bathtub, but certainly would never worry about slopping a bit of coffee on it. I immediately bought a few books, started reading, and became an even happier camper than I was pre-Kindle. It took me no time at all to get used to the feel of it, and I love being able to turn the page from either side of the device. It's easy for me to handle with either hand which is important because I do a lot of my reading in a heated waterbed, turn the furnace way down at night, and am always wanting to put one hand or the other under the covers to keep it warm. And I especially love the dictionary feature. I've always been the kind of reader who encounters words I don't know, wish I wasn't too lazy to go get the dictionary, and then almost never go back to look them up. I'm looking forward to increasing my already intimidating and voluminous vocabulary.
If you are reading these reviews and trying to decide whether to sink your hard-earned into a Kindle, hesitate no more! I wondered whether I really, really wanted one for a couple of years before I took the plunge. I didn't think when that time came that plunge would be into dripping wet packaging, but life always sends us little surprises. I am going to love being able to take not just a book but a library with me wherever I go.

kindle is great by RBO 5 Stars
March 21, 2010
Our Kindle - 6" screen - is spot on - hundreds of books downloaded, plus you can transfer files from your computer to read on the Kindle. The Whispernet service works fine - hundreds of thousands of books available through Amazon, and many are free. No regrets - glad we purchased Kindle, and prefer the smaller size for easier mobility.
