My kindle is one of the best purchases that I have ever made. I love reading books and I have to admit I was a more than a little apprehensive about leaving the paper book behind. But it has been a decision that I have not regretted. When you take the kindle out of the box you need to sync it with an Amazon account which you can do either via your kindle or on your pc. To purchase books for the kindle you can either buy them via your Amazon account or via your kindle of the Amazon web site It is really easy to do and books down load to your kindle straight away which is great if you run out of reading material late at night. I believe you can also buy books of other web sites but this isn't something I have done. The best thing about the kindle is that you can download books which are out of copy right for free which will mean that my kindle will eventually pay for itself.

The kindle is really lightweight and is easy to carry in your bag with out weighing you down. The text is easy to read and you can turn the page (back or forward) by a touch of a button. It automatically opens the book on the last page that you stopped reading and even turns its self of after a while if you forget which saves on battery life.

Another feature of the kindle is the internet browser which allows you to search the internet although it is not the best browser in the world it is good if you need to check something when your out and about such as train times.
