Expert Reviews: See What The Experts Have to Say About Kindle


"The best e-reading system on the market. Welcome improvements to aesthetics, more functional industrial design, better graphics and longer battery life. Sleeker than the original: A third of an inch thick and 10 ounces." - Steven Levy, Wired

"Bottom line: The Kindle is easier to use and more versatile, thanks to its wireless coverage." - Consumer Reports

"Overall, this is a great platform for reading a novel or anything where you just want to be able to pick it up and put it back down at a moment's notice -- the wireless delivery of books you order on Amazon's website is still just about perfect." - Christopher Null, Yahoo! Tech

"It reads very easily without any eyestrain whatsoever; I felt like I was reading a book whereas reading on an iPhone or a computer is just a gimmick. The Kindle is indeed a genuine alternative to a print edition and not just a toy." - Michael Glitz, Huffington Post

"With a slimmer, sleeker design, a crisper display and 25 percent longer battery life, the Kindle 2 is fast becoming a must-have for avid readers who don’t want to schlep a ton of books." - Star Magazine

Bought Three Now...What More Can I Say, October 10, 2009
By
C. Young "clay2young" (SOBX, NC USA) - First bought the wife one. Several weeks later bought one for myself. Order another for a friend this week at the new lower price. I didn't think I'd like using this type of device when wife ordered first one...wife was not really sure she would. We were both quickly convert to real fans after reading several books on it. It is light, easy to operate, and easy to read in most lighting conditions.

Kindle II, October 9, 2009
By
K. Dougher (liverpool ny) - I've read 5 books in a month and just love it. Bring it everywhere and also use it while riding my recumbent bike. Would highly recommend one to any avid reader. The wireless downloads are so fast and keeping tracking of everything through your Amazon account is great! You get a confirmation email within seconds.


Love It!, October 9, 2009

SuzieQ95 (Salt Lake City, Utah) - I am so thrilled with my new Kindle. I kept holding out because I frequent the library so much and didn't think I could top it by having to purchase books. I've found the prices to be reasonable as well as many deals where there are free promotions. My favorite features are the ability to look up a word in a matter of seconds as well as make notes or highlights. My next favorite feature is to change the font size since I'm holding out as long as I can before I need to use reading glasses. I recommend it.
