I use this product at home. It helps me to not carry too many books to read. It comes all in one and easy to use the product.

I love my kindle touch and the ability to be able to take 100's of books with me wherever I go. I like the touch screen unlike the old kindles which had buttons, and an annoying keyboard. The 4gb of internal memory is more then enough storage, which according to amazon can hold 3,000 books. The battery life is fantastic, and lasts forever. I always keep my wifi turned off on it, which probably helps the battery life, and I usually transfer books via a USB cord rather then wifi. Although the kindle having wifi access is awesome, and can be helpful sometimes. This kindle is only for reading, if you're looking for more of a tablet get the kindle fire. Although I love this kindle, sometimes I wish I had the kindle fire so I could read in the dark without a lamp since it has a different type of screen, but then I'd be sacrificing reading outside on a bright sunny day (same problem you have with a cellphone screen in the sun - hard to see) Overall I love my kindle touch, and think it is a great value. Ease of Use The kindle hardly comes with any sort of directions so it can be difficult to figure out the first time. I had to google all of my questions when I set it up the first time..

This was the first kindle that I owned ( I now also have an hd fire ). I received it as a gift because I would never have bought one for myself. I was under the stubborn adage "I want to be able to hold a book in my hands to turn and smell the pages"! But once I got over that and realized how extremely convenient these ereaders are, it became an everyday use for me! Mind you, it is not a gun tablet full of exciting apps to download, it is just for reading books. Battery Life The battery life on this is great, even better than my hd fire infact. Book Choices/Variety It has a great selection of books and authors, I only wish that there was a better selection of free books out there! I also use it to borrow books from my local library, so thats really cool. Readability It is easy to read as far as adjusting the font size. The reading without glare in sunlight is really cool too and actually works. I only wish that it was backlit in the dark so I wouldn't have to use a clip on light. Ease of Use Fairly easy to navigate, it does load a little bit slow though. Design The design is really cute and compact, super easy to handle. Durability I am going on almost 3 years with my kindle and it has given me no issues whatsoever.

I love the smell of a new book and being surrounded by books. However I was a huge borders bookstore kind of girl. I never liked barnes and noble the set of the store never makes sense to me and it wasn't as homey feeling as borders will always be to me. when they closed borders, i think i was devastated. This was my store, every 33% off coupon I would print from work and go straight to the store after work. It took me a long time to deal with the fact that my favorite store was gone. I was very anti- ebook/reader when the kindle and nooks of the world came out. But after borders closed and i didnt want to give my money to barnes and noble, I decided a kindle wouldn't be a terrible idea. I use my credit card points to buy the kindle. I think I had a hard time accepting the fact that i was going to read my books on this device, instead of turning each page and creasing the binding (which is my favorite thing about books). I started to get rent book from the library through my kindle, i found this to be a really cool feature on the kindle. And soon I start to warm up to it. I have to say the kindle is very convenient. I can buy books almost anywhere or rent ones from my local library on my kindle. Plus this doesnt take up as much room in my purse as a book does, so that is a benefit. I have learned to enjoy reading on this device, although I will always prefer a real book over an e-reader. I am very happy with the kindle and I am glad that I own one!

I love my kindle touch. It holds an enormous amount of books and rarely runs low on battery while my reading. Although, I do consider my self a low-volume reader. Battery Life Probably the best part about the kindle is that it gets an amazing battery life. With the wifi on I can get through 2-3 hefty books (think Dan Brown size) before I need to recharge. Without the wifi it seems to last forever. Book Choices/Variety The kindle shop has almost every popular book imaginable. Sometimes I find that it doesn't have all the classics. I also find that the options for amazon prime to use their 1 book free per month is very limited. Readability Reading on the kindle is quite pleasant. I never find my eyes glazing over as I would with any LED reader. My only issue with this, maybe because it's an older edition, is that moving from screen to screen is quite annoying. It ins't a fluid movement, but more like it completely reloads the page. Sometimes this is irksome. Ease of Use This is a very easy project to use. Not a steep learning curve at all. Durability Can't say how many times I've dropped my kindle, but it still has no scratches and the screen is perfect.

First off, I have to say, I love the kindle. I use it all the time. It's a great way to have a multitude of books at your fingertips, without having to visit a library or bookstore. I have noticed, however, that with some of the books there are problems with recognizing punctuation, and occasionally the sentences get jumbled. It's generally easy to spot and sort out, but it does get slightly annoying. Also, the fact that it's a touch is great, just touch one side of the screen to turn the page, the top to go back to the menu, etc. It's very easy to figure out, as well.

This was my first Kindle and I loved it. Now I have the Kindle Fire and I love it for different reasons. I use both of these. Readability This doesn't have the color screen (good as the battery lasts longer, bad because the book covers look more inviting in color) Design This is lightweight so that makes it easier to carry around in a purse or briefcase than the heavier Kindle Fire. Durability I've dropped this once on a paved parking lot and it didn't break.

I must admit I am a book lover, like to browse book stores, decorate with books and just generally be able to touch a book and turn pages but when my son bought me my Kindle for my birthday/Christmas I was thrilled. Right away I saw all the benefits that my son told me that I would love. Book Choices/Variety I have been pleasantly surprised with the number of choices I have to download books onto my Kindle. I got set up at my local library and can place up to 5 holds on books and when they become available I can check them out and then check them back in without ever leaving my house and they even tell me how far down on the waiting list I am. Such a small device that can hold so many books! Readability Love that I can change the size of the words and actually is easier on my eyes to read than reading an actual book. I still have a lot of actual books in my library at home to get through but try to read one on my Kindle and then an actual book and it really impresses my how much easier on the eyes reading on my Kindle offers me. Ease of Use The only time I am the least annoyed is on an airplane I have to turn my Kindle off before taking off and then cannot turn it back on until after we make our climb, but other than that I see no problem. It fits in my purse and the battery lasts a long time.
