I've had my Kindle for several months and, although I can't think of much to add to the existing kudos, I can tell you this. During a nostalgic moment when I thought I craved the feel of a "real" book, I pulled a hardcover from my "to read" pile. Five minutes later I closed the book - packaged it up to send to a friend in Mexico - then downloaded the same title to my Kindle. K is well worth the price if you're a reader-and if you're not a reader, you will be once you own one of these.

I purchased the Kindle as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law. They are thrilled. My son-in-law can get the Wall Street Journal on his Kindle before he leaves for work at 5 a.m. My other daughter is purchasing one for her husband as a birthday gift. It is a terrific product.

This is a fantastic way to read. I have only had my Kindle 2for a few weeks and literally take it everywhere I go.Great for travel. This device is truly amazing!

I love my new Kindle 2 (I am a convert from a Sony 505), but...I just received an email telling me that I was automatically subscribed to a 14 day trial of Newsweek. What irritates me:1. I didn't request this.2. I have to actively do something to cancel this subscription and if I don't I automatically get billed.3. I have to go online to cancel this. (Is there a way to do it on the Kindle 2?) I should not have to do anything to cancel something that I did not request.If you plan to continue to offer items in this manner, you have dulled the beauty and concept of the Kendle 2. I want the control of what comes to me on my Kindle. Remember, one of the Kendle features was that I have to approve email that comes to my Kindle. (I would think that this also applies to "automatic" subscriptions. As far as I am concerned, this Newsweek subscription and the fact that I have to cancel it to get rid of it is pure, unalterated SPAM and I don't like it.

What happened to reading a real book? There is a valuable engagement one has with a text: it's the slight tear of a page, the crinkle of a cover, the coffee stains of an accidental spill over a cliff hanger. The kindle strips a reader of this personal engagement and interaction with a book. No, not an e-book, but a vulnerable, tangible, collection of pages!

I had a Kindle 1, and about a week after the warranty expired, it stopped working. I went to use it one day, and the screen was covered in black lines. Nothing removed them, and I was told that my only option was to buy a new one at half price. I don't really feel like buying a new Kindle every year, and it's upsetting that my Kindle just randomly, suddenly stopped working for no reason. Bummer. I would get an iPad instead...it's more expensive but you can use it for a lot more stuff, and I assume those just don't bust on their own out of nowhere.
