E-Reader

[Marilyn]

Our daughter, Melissa, has a Kindle and loves it!! It is the only one with a liquid display that looks like print on paper and doesn't emit light, so it's much easier on your eyes, especially if you read a lot. It's not in color, but if you want it purely for reading, that should be fine.

I just bought the Kindle. I have an IPad, but you really cannot read in the bright sunlight. I also am not comfortable bringing such an expensive item to the pool. The Kindle is down to $114 on Amazon. With tax, etc., it came to $123, which is quite a good price.

I didn't look at any of the other brands. Everyone I know who has a Kindle, is a very happy with it, so I figured, why stress about it, especially at such a good price.

Thanks for input ladies.. Judy I just ordered the Kindle Wi-Fi I brought the $139 plus free shipping from Amazon , I was going to buy the kindle you brought for $114 but was told that you get pop ups from different sponsors.

Judy did you get yours yet? if so is it user friendly? I hear that you can download free books also. A friend of mine told me to buy the Marware book cover she has the kindle also and said that she had brought the kindle cover but was having problems with the device.. Strange...

Darn! I would have bought the $139 Kindle! I haven't done anything but plug it in. I might explore it today. I'll let you know. I have to check on the Marware cover too because it doesn't come with one. Why doesn't your friend return hers? They will exchange it for her, hopefully. This is why I bought it from Amazon., They usually stand behind their stuff.

Return it if its not to much trouble and get the $139 with the free shipping but you have to act fast for I don't how long the free shipping is going to be for. I think it will be annoying with the sponsor pop ups.. let me know. I saw the Marware cover on ebay for 22.95 but its in purple and it opens up on top instead of the side. I may buy it.. I will be getting the Kindle into about 10-15 days . I can't wait... lol My friend did return the Kindle bookcover .

I just got the one with WiFi for my DIL, Rachel. She bought the cover with a built in light so she can read in bed at night. She loves it! I use Kindle on my iPhone all of the time!

I set it up, and I love it! It's so light and easy to read!

I ordered a nice cover on eBay; not expensive, and it looks like it will do the trick.

The ads are not at all annoying. They are on the screensaver, but don't pop up when you use the Kindle.

It's really nice to read from the screen, and you can make the font as large as you want so you don't have to wear glasses.

Enjoy yours!!!
