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!!!

Thanks sounds good to me!! I can't wait to get mine.. Enjoy!

@ 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.

Thanks Judy I do have an amazon account.. I have a user book it came with I guess I just have to get familar with the unit...

I have the user guide on the kindle.. It's really easy to use. I don't bother with underlining, clippings, etc. I don't even know what they are talking about!

I think the whole thing is learning to use that little square with the arrows, which is small and can be difficult to maneuver. Using the menu in different locations has to be played with to learn what to do too.

I am more comfortable with my pc, and I order my books from there.

Enjoy!!!
