****INTRODUCTION **** I've always been an avid reader; and part of the appeal of reading for me has always been the pleasure of cracking open the spine of a shiny new book, thumbing through it's pages and reading the 'blurb' on the back. So I wasn't particularly convinced by the concept of an 'electronic ... Read the complete review

I have always been a book lover, and I recently invested in the original Amazon Kindle, and I thought it was incredible. The E-Ink display with no glare, and no eye-strain, the small, thin, compact and slick design, and its brilliant functionality to have almost any book available. One of the only things I was dissapointed about was the ... Read the complete review

I have to admit I am a great fan of the paper book, I have never been a fan of an ebook readers as I believed they are an imitation of the real experience of reading a book. But this changed instantly when my cousin bought this Amazon Kindle ebook reader for me on my birthday. At first I was not so sure but my cousin encouraged ... Read the complete review

When I first started hearing about the Kindle I was initially dubious as I didn't think you could beat a good old book. I have many books clogging up the shelves at home and wasn't sure I could cope with technology (Yes I'm 27 but no I am not of the new 'gadget' generation.) I will tell you the reason I decided to get a ... Read the complete review

I have always loved my books and read up to 5 in a week and I was reluctant for a very long time to try the Kindle - or any ebook reader. The feel and smell of a new book all wrapped in Amazon packaging was always a very exciting and happy delivery to receive and I couldn't imagine enjoying stories in any other format. I eventually gave ... Read the complete review

The kindle had been around for a long time when I finally decided to go ahead and buy it. I don't know for sure what was putting me off, but I felt it lacked the same feel and character of a book, what about the musty smells of ancient books? What about the texture of the paper? What about the paper cuts? I went to many stores over many ... Read the complete review

This is a great little gadget! I bought one for my daughter to use for her A level studies. It is so easy to navigate with the screen giving all the information needed to find and download books in a matter of seconds. My daughter takes it everywhere with her, it is very robust especially bearing in mind she can be a little heavy ... Read the complete review

My attitude towards e-readers was similar to when mp3 players first started appearing: I wasn't interested. As with my music, I like having my books in physical form. I like going to the shop to browse through old and new releases; its like a therapy for me. Eventually, I gave in and now my mp3 player is one of the few things I carry ... Read the complete review

After being very sceptical about literature moving into a digital age I finally thought it was time to get myself a Kindle Touch, and I am glad I did. Bought one at the start of the Summer and in two months I have read 13 books. There is just something of a real satisfaction when I finish a book on my Kindle. The touch screen ...

To begin with, I was a little dubious about the Kindle. I've always thought there's something about the pages of a book that you just can't get from staring at a screen. Many of my Kindle owning friends told me that I was wrong, and although they too were initially uncertain, they would not be without their Kindles nowadays. I decided to ... Read the complete review

After buying the kindle I came under much controversy from many friends and family members stating that 'It ruins buying good old fashioned books' and ' Don't you miss turning the pages?' which made me very skeptical about the device. Turning it on there was a very detailed instruction manual to read before you started up with ... Read the complete review

E-Readers are becoming much more acceptable lately. It's strange, being as this technology has been around for ages, and yet it's taken a while to gather some momentum. That being said, a company who sits very close at the top of the food chain of E-Reader manufacturers is Amazon with their range of Kindle readers. I bought ... Read the complete review

If you're considering buying an eReader, there's one brand which stands out above the rest - Amazon's Kindle. The Kindle has become incredibly popular over the last few years due to its ease of use and general reliability. There are a few different versions of the Kindle available, but today i'm taking a look at the 'Touch' variety. The ... Read the complete review
