OK, I guess I owe some gratitude to Amazon for their development, it is time to pay it back....
I am not working for Amazon or any company related to the promotion or similar. I bought a Kindle last month as present to my wife. It is the Kindle eReader, Wi-Fi, 15 cm (6 Zoll) E Ink Display ![]() This is the Kindle but NOT my wife! ![]() My opinion on it is that it is one of the most amazing pieces of HW I have ever seen! because: - amazing battery life (a couple of weeks up to a month per charge, normal USB chargeable) - extremely light (lighter than a paperbook) - amazing screen technology! Never seen something like this, you can read under direct sunlight, even while wearing sunglasses, and the more light falls on to it, the more white (like a book page) the screen looks like. - you can adjust the size of the text (the older you get, the bigger it has to be ![]() - you can e-mail to your "Kindle-e-mail-address" (you get a specific one with the Kindle you bought) any PDF, DOC, etc file and within minutes it will be converted to Kindle-format and be sent to your Kindle (provided your Kindle is within WiFi network) - All your books and files you sent to it are stored centrally at Amazon (you do not lose them if your Kindle get destroyed). - You can share the books among the Kindles of your family (provided the Kindles are all under the same Amazon account). - It costs 99USD or even less depending on the country. - It saves a lot more space having a Kindle than filling up tons os shelves with paperbacks. I am using it because I live in a country where it is very difficult to buy German books. Now I can log into Amazon Germany, buy the book I want and within minutes it will appear in my Kindle. Previously, I would have to wait for weeks for a German paperbook to arrive (and it would cost me 2-3 times the cost of the book due to transportation costs). My personal opinion as a user, Amazon did a great job with this Kindle model. And the price is right, too. ~S~ |

I've had mine about a year now and I've bought two of the new model; for my wife and my sister-in-law @ Christmas.

Kindle? Nook? iPad? Can't stop the onslaught of progress... Can't wait till we plug our brains into the Virtual 3D world of online gaming... WW2: Total Immersion... Put on the sensory feedback suit.... Set the timer and go back in time... Mentallly and physically...
