So, as a gift to myself I bought the Amazon Kindle.
I haven't been this excited since I bought the Wii and that turned out disappointing. But at least the Kindle comes with a 90 days return policy and not restocking fees!
-
How u like it now?
-
tell us how you like it.
i thought about getting a kindle too but my brother uploaded ebooks onto my psp so whenever i wanna read a book i just download the book and then transfer it to ebooks on my psp.

I bought the sony pocket reader 350. It's probably best left for reading novels.
What I really want is a large screen reader than can handle complex PDF documents.
-
i have the kindle and i love it! i don't have to turn pages or hold it. just lay it flat and read it from there.
-
adding the Kindle to my wishlist. ;D

I like sony touch better.
I can have it stand on my desk. while I'm eating..I can read. If I want to turn a page, I just move my finger on the screen. No need to press any button. Just light touch. I can do this while one had has a plate and one has has a spoon.

Sounds pretty nifty. I would like to get an ereader and have been looking into getting one, but, iono, I kinds like holding an actual book. There's nothing like curling up with a blanket and reading a book! Plus, I love the smell of a new book - even it's technically an old torned book - if it's a new story to me, then it's new!

I really like my kindle because I don't have to try to hold the pages open when reading. I can stand it up and read and eat at the same time if I wanted to.
The things that I do not like about it:
You can not share books unless you share accounts! The joys of reading for me is sharing an awesome book find with friends and I can't just lend them my book.
The price of ebooks! Everytime I want to buy a book, I think of how much cheaper I can get it at the thrift store. I can buy used books for less than a dollar sometimes. I rarely buy books new because of this reason.
So so far, I have been downloading free books or super cheap ones. I have only bought two books that I really really wanted. The rest are all free or under $3.
Supposedly, Amazon is coming out with a book sharing system like the Nook so I hope it comes soon!
But over all, I like the Kindle. No more piles of books!

I bought my sister the Sony E reader and she loves it. It has free wifii - internet browsing, 3g etc... ! She stayed up all night .. !
-

If not the games ...Its the movies. O0

Got my ex a Kindle when we were still together. She loves it and I think it's pretty cool myself even though I'm not an avid reader. E-ink works great and we can surf the net anywhere with Sprint 3G coverage. Go for the free 3g one which is $50 more and you won't regret it!
-
someone needs to buy me one too O0
-
Hey, Kindle can now share books! Anyone who has a kindle and wants to share some books, let me know.
-
Recieved the Kindle for Christmas and I love it. It's small enough to fit in my purse and pretty much I can use it anywhere I go. As long as you downloaded the book you can read the book w/o internet access. Also I use to spend $50 or more at Barnes and Nobles each time I went and if I calculated all those times to the price of the Kindle it's already the same.
-
I haven't bought any ebook for my ebook reader yet. I think the prices of ebook are too high.
-
I thought this little Kindle just have a page where you type the name of the books you want to read and it will just be there but look like it take time to download it too. I guess I'm better of just reading books the old way and leaving my bookmark where I left off and continued the next day.
I will look into the Kindle and spoiled myself for X-mas if it is necessary and something I think worth it. I'm tired of having my eyes on a screen for a few hours just like I can never deal with using my cell phone for internet or the data service even though I have it.

i have the kindle fire and enjoying it. there is now an app for public library ebooks. check your local public library website.

I got a Kindle Touch for Christmas and love it! I haven't purchased any books yet. I've just been dl-ing the free ones. It's nice to be able to take it places and read.
-
I like ebook reader but I do not like the fact that ebook cost as much and sometimes more than the paper version.
-
The Kindle is awesome! I can carry a small library with me wherever I go. Amazon offers a ton of free books and they also have some pretty cheap books for sale.
-
I really want to get the Kindle Fire but I waited and waited hoping they will release a new one and the price will go down.
So, I think I will get this one instead.

If I'm going to dole out money for a book, I want something tangible!

I haven't been using my Kindle for awhile. The book I'm reading right now is a real book. I really miss that real book feel.
I still like the Kindle though.
