NBR - Does any one have the Amazon Kindle

What can you tell me about it? My birthday's next week and Dh was going to get it for me and wanted to do some research first. Is it easy to use?

I do not personally but know someone who does and she absolutely LOVES her kindle.

My mom bought one and she LOVES it. She was worried about missing the "feel" of a traditional book, but she loved how she can bring so many books with her and not take up all of the space.

I was reading it over her shoulder for a little bit, and it looks like a book would -- it doesn't feel like you're reading a computer screen.

I just got mine this weekend for an early b-day present. DH wanted to give it to me before our babymoon so I wouldn't have to take a bunch of pregnancy books with me to read while we travel.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. It's very easy to read and very addictive. DH has an obsession with old-fashioned books (when we finally get around to moving, he's insisting on having a room he can turn into a library). And even he said last night that he was jealous of my new toy.

I'm relatively "new" with it, but I did spend quite a bit of time with my coworkers before I decided I wanted one.

Do you have any specific questions about it?

my SIL gave one to my MIL (who is pretty challenged when it comes to technology) and she loves it!

I have one and love it. It's very easy to use. It is also really convenient for traveling and I think it will be nice when nursing to use since it's so light weight.

I got a Kindle for my birthday in June and I love it. I was nervous that it would feel like you were reading off of a computer screen but it isn't like that at all. It is really easy to use and I just found my first free book while I was searching for something to read and it is actually really good. You can also read reviews of books before you buy and get the first chapter as a free sample if you still aren't sure you want to read the book after reading the reviews. I read a lot so it also will save me money in the long run. I don't know what I did without it. Smile

I have a friend who loves it!!! It is not like reading a computer (not backlit) which prevents eyestrain, the text size can change, and it holds tons of books. Like everyone else, I have not heard a bad review.

Happy Birthday!
