Amazon Kindle 3 Reviews

Amazon Kindle is the latest and most successful attempt to come up with a device solely aimed at taking the art of reading books into the next generation. Why something as simple as reading a book needs an upgrade is beyond me but, despite my initial qualms, finally I have given in and signed up to the reading revolution that many think ...  Read the complete review

When ebook readers first came out I was a bit skeptical about them but when I packing for my holiday I realised that like half of the space in my carry on bag was taken up by books and decided then that I really needed to get a kindle. Unfortunately it was too late then to do get one but as soon as I got home I ordered my kindle and the ...  Read the complete review

I feel slightly dirty. I said I wouldn't get a Kindle - I said I didn't need one; after all, they don't look like books, they don't feel like books and they certainly don't smell like books. I want a book to be real in my hands - I don't want everything but the story stripped away, and besides ... I already spend plenty enough time in ...  Read the complete review

When I received the Amazon Kindle as I gift I was dying to get stuck in. The packaging was very minimal, which is great for the environment. It was very easy to set up. There is a small sliding on/off switch on the bottom, and in a few minutes the Kindle initialised. It was very simple to connect to my home wireless and was ...  Read the complete review

I thought originally the Amazon Kindle was priced quite highly, but it has paid for itself over time. I have to travel a lot for my career and it's great having a wide variety of reading material available for when I'm on the train or waiting around offices. The interface is easily navigable, the display isn't backlit which ...  Read the complete review

Every review I have read bangs on about how people love books, and I would guess that this is Amazons target Market, after all this is a Ereader , so no surprise there then. I had thought about a kindle for a long time , I travel , I have small children , I have a small house which is rammed with books, and is to small for more (both ...  Read the complete review

When I first purchases my iPad I swore that it would mean I would never need to buy a kindle. And then it became summer and I realised that reading iBooks outside in the sun is pretty impossible. Therefore I purchased this kindle. The difference between these two devices is that the iPad uses an LCD screen where as the kindle uses E ...  Read the complete review

Introduction~~~~~ As a self confessed die hard book reader I put off getting an e-reader because I didn't want to lose the experience of turning a page or the smell of the book (yes I know bit strange but hey we all have quirks) and also the added bonus of being able to flick ahead if I cannot wait to see what happens. It wasn't ...  Read the complete review

Reading has always been one of my big hobbies from being absolutely tiny. As soon as I was big enough to be reading to myself, I never looked back. My grandparents bought me a new book every week, as well as books from school, and being encouraged to use the library as well. When I first saw the Kindle, I tried to ignore it a ...  Read the complete review

I am not a huge fan of electronic devices that emulate the look and feel of a book. However, I was pleasantly surprised when my sister got me one of these for my birthday. I was surprised at how comfortable it was to hold for long periods of time - lets face it if you are reading, you will be doing so for a good while. It was also ...  Read the complete review

In 2007, Amazon released their first eReader: The Kindle. I wasn't too impressed or convinced by this new piece of technology and was sure it would die a pretty quick death as surely paper back books couldn't be made obsolete. I remember going into Waterstones in Harrow and fiddling around with one of the eReaders in there - again, ...  Read the complete review

I asked for an Amazon Kindle for my birthday this year, after 'umming' and 'aahing' about which e-Book reader to get and whether I really wanted one at all. My motivation was obviously partially owing to my enjoyment of reading, but I was also aware that I was going to start an MA which was going to involve a serious commute. Having just ...  Read the complete review

I've had my Kindle for nearly 6 months now and I've become inseparable from it. Amazon's ebook store is filled with all the latest books as well as many classics ...  Read the complete review

Like some other people, I was completely sure I never ever ever wanted a Kindle - or any other type of e-Reader. I would spout the usual - I love the buying process, the 'smell', the opening of a new book. Yep, heard it all before eh? So, what happened? My holiday happened. How on earth does one get 8 books into a 15kg suitcase, ...  Read the complete review

This was my second reader, and it was a vast improvement. The 6" screen is high contrast and easy to read, while the positioning of the buttons for changing the pages are perfect. Access to the Kindle store via either Wifi or 3G makes buying books or magazine subscriptions effortless. Reading the device is easy and can be ...  Read the complete review

I was one of those people that knocked the kindle before I tried it, I kept saying, 'I like real books, the feel the smell...'. However, my boyfriends decided to get one, and I absolutely refused to touch it for months and months. Then I wanted to read something, but I didn't have the time to go and buy it and it was free on the Kindle - ...  Read the complete review

I was pretty convinced for quite a while that an e-reader wasn't for me. I love books, physical books that is. I own over 500, spend time just gazing at book covers and even sometimes opening them and smelling them. Yes, I'm a book nerd but I make no apologies for that. So I never considered owning an e-reader at all, until last autumn ...  Read the complete review

I am a great book lover and read quickly, inevitably my OH has made me promise that the next time we move/go on holiday etc. he will not have to carry so many books. So I have just bought a Kindle. This is my first experience of an e-book reader and I am very impressed. The page contrast is easy on the eyes and the matt page ...  Read the complete review

As someone who enjoys reading the kindle was a must for me. I was bought this for Christmas and can honestly say I have hardly put it down since. Now I have spoken to many people about the kindle and find their reaction a little like marmite you either love it or hate it. What I have found is that the people who hate the kindle seem ...  Read the complete review

For my birthday I received an Amazon Kindle from my boyfriend which I thought was an amazing present as I had seen them advertised on the tv. When i first got it started up and registered I found out all of the things that I could do on it. You don't just have to read books, you can also go onto the internet via wi-fi and download books ...  Read the complete review
