Amazon Kindle review

By (cnet.com)

Excellent high-contrast screen does a great job of simulating a printed page; large library of tens of thousands of e-books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs via Amazon's familiar online store; built-in free wireless "Whispernet" data network--no PC neede...

Design is ergonomic, but not very elegant; pricing for nearly all the content seems too high, especially considering the periodicals and blogs are available for free online; black-and-white screen is fine for books, but less impressive for periodicals and...

College Textbooks Coming to Amazon Kindle?

By Michael Kwan (mobilemag.com)

In order to save a few trees (and a lot of money), it is being proposed that college textbooks should be offered in e-book form. ..

Going through university, I spent far too much money on textbooks. For some courses, I was able to save a few bucks by going through the used route, but for so many other courses, the professor made us get the latest edition. Yes, having a new cover and a...

"Extremely easy to use"

By girljocks (cnet.com)

I actually like the size of the Kindle and th... 

Love that I can buy a book & have it downloaded in aprx 1 minute for $10 or way less. Also like that I can load my own documents, files, manuals, etc so I don't have to carry around my volumnious binders of training materials. Love the Home feature.

Next Page and Prev Page buttons could be smaller and not quite as sensitive. I too have inadvertantly turned the page without meaning to.

Easy to bump the next page bar and "turn the page" accidentally - easy to go back

"A library that fits in my purse...What could be better?"

By JillynD (cnet.com)

Bottom line, I love my Kindle. I travel often... 

The interface is intuitive once you realize it has a scroll wheel and indicator bar. The screen is very easy to read. Changing text size is a breeze. Books download quickly. A virtual library is included. Suggestion are made based on your purchases.

The cover is made of nice material, but is akward and does not fit securly . It's very easy to accidentally flip pages when inserting and removing from the cover, and it must be removed from the cover to access the power and wireless switches.
