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!!!

@ Judy I finally received my Kindle last week but I am having a hard time navagating around. I am not to savvy with technology lol . How do you order books from Amazon online or can it be done on the kindle? Any input would be great ...

On your computer, go to Amazon.com, then type in Kindle store books. Set up an account with Amazon if you don't have one. Choose your book, go to checkout, and it will appear on your Kindle!

You can also order a sample of any book for free, which will appear on your Kindle. You can read the sample, see if you like it, and then order the book right from your Kindle.

To order from the Kindle, set up a connection with the internet. I have a router, which has a password, and it was really easy to set up. Make sure wireless is on. Go to Home, then push Menu. Both buttons asre onm the kindle's right. You can turn on the wireless connection there, and can also go to Kindle Store from there.

You get around using the up, down, right and left bars on the little box under Menu. When you get to where you want to go, it will be underlined. Click the middle of that box and you will go there.

I have a User's Guide, but I don't remember where I got it. Pretty sure it was already there.

Wherever you are on the Kindle, push menu and see what you can do from there.
