 Kindle: A Five Star Pleasure September 5, 2010
Tina Carignan (Texas)
I've had my Kindle 2 since Jan 2010, it's been such a pleasure to read on. But I do want to share a problem that I've encountered on numerous occasions while out in public:
A couple of days ago I was at Sea Island Shrimp House reading with Gracie when I got the strangest feeling we were not alone. I glanced to the right, left , everyone was busy eating their meals, not paying me any attention so I started reading again, but that feeling persisted. Again I looked to the right, left, nothing everyone was still eating, or conversing with each other. That odd feeling was still there, even stronger than before , giving me the willies so I looked behind me. Two employees were standing right behind me (I was at the end of a row of booths) looking over my shoulder, they must have been reading along with me ! As soon as I turned around they wanted to know if Gracie was a Kindle. So I spent the next few minutes talking about all things Kindle. When you purchase a Kindle it really should come with a warning of some sort. :)
DFS's Kindle Thoughts September 5, 2010

Love my SECOND Kindle - (unfortunately I seriously dropped my first Kindle & it could not be repaired). However, I travel a lot and its just the thing for airplanes, airports, cruise ships, etc. A few friends have a different readers - ugh - mine is by far the BEST. DFS
YES YES YES! September 5, 2010

First of all, I did not own a Kindle 1. Secondly, my wife and I love the Kindle 2! So get it! Get it now!
Kindle 2nd Generation September 5, 2010

I just love my new Kindle, it is easy to use with the page buttons on each side, the screen is great for reading, just like reading a book, the screen does not fade when reading in sunlight. I also like being able to download my books, Readers Digest and books from our local library, I am so glad I decided to purchase my new Kindle.
Great Device September 4, 2010
Peter Schreiner (New Albany, Indiana)
iPad? Sure why not, but don't discount the Kindle with it's easy on-the-eyes display, dictionary and light weight design it reads in the sunlight as easy as it reads indoors without the bulk of an iPad.
So, if you want an iPad that's great it's a wonderful device, but it's no substitute for the avid reader's indulgence like the Kindle; the two can coexist quite nicely.
