If you are a book lover, can't get enough of stories or magazines, but don't have them and / or space to keep buying them, then this is definitely for you. Most e-readers or smartphones for that matter, use and will continue to use standard backlit displays, which can be a huge strain on the eyes in prolonged use, especially when reading, but the kindle uses an e-ink display, which has no back light. This display does not glare, even in bright sunlight, and has a similar "texture" to paper itself, which is perfect for any reader, not even mentioning the general functionality of the Kindle itself. By buying the Kindle, and connecting it to your Amazon ...  Read the complete review

After almost a year of wanting a kindle I finally decided to purchase one! My boyfriends mum had got herself one and although she didn't use it much said it was great. She did offer it to me however risk breaking the in laws stuff on holiday... I don't think so! For me, reading on my little iphone screen was just not good enough! This is where my first decision had to be made... Did I want just a plain old small bland kindle or the amazing brand new Kindle Fire HD. Well after much pondering I decided on the boring option of a plain bland old kindle. I decided this would be the better option for me. I have an ipad, tablet, laptop, iphone and many other gadgets ...  Read the complete review

I was initially against the idea of a kindle, for me the actual book was important i enjoyed turning the pages and the smell of a old book. My partner bought me a Kindle for the birthday when i had guessed what he had bought me i was a little disappointed at first! Since i first started using it i have loved my kindle, the first time i used i properly was on holiday in Crete, i typically read on average around 4 books on holiday from the moment i wake to the moment i sleep and it must add some weight in my suitcase. Before I left I downloaded all the books I had wanted to read i added about 20 in total. Adding the books? I am very good ...  Read the complete review

My first kindle was a 3G keyboard edition, when the screen broke I decided to buy this cheaper version instead since I found that in reality I never used the keyboard. I also chose to just buy the basic WiFi version as there was never any need for the 3G function. I usually buy a whole load of books in one go and download either through my computer or more frequently via my home WiFi network. Even when abroad I always managed to find a source of free WiFi to download more books! Therefore I do not see the need for 3G model. I like the lack of a backlight since it doesn't tire your eyes like staring at a screen does, and it is also good for reading in the outdoors. ...  Read the complete review

I'd struggled in the past with reading on my iPad, as I found the screen too bright at night. The iPod touch is nice, but rather small. Enter the Kindle. The Kindle's much-vaunted screen really does look like ink on a page. It adapts to most any light - none of that dreaded TFT glare! It integrates seamlessly with the natural experience of reading. Concentrate on the screen, and it feels like reading print. The Kindle can read books from the in-device Amazon store, or it can be synced with the Kindle app on other platforms to add ePub files from other sources. I've had some trouble getting sync to work with the iPad app, but it works well from ...  Read the complete review
