Content: On the whole, I have been very happy with the Kindle product. There have been a few fustrations. 1. The battery cover is not very secure. It has loosen twice in three weeks. 2. The more that is downloaded, the slower the unit becomes. and 3. The unit is not very secure in the cover provided. The tabs used to hold the unit in place are not very good

Content: TOO EXPENSIVE! We pay almost $400 for the device & then $10 for each book? Talk about price gouging! & we purchase the books only from Amazon?
W/ the price you are charging, I think I'll wait for one on Ebay, Version 2, lower device/book prices OR competition that are much more affordable. I want & need one so badly (severe arthritis), but this is too much to ask anyone to purchase it for me. Let me know when they fall below $100 & offer many more books @ much lower prices.
Great idea, too high a cost. Please work on lowering the prices so more people can & will read using this device.
Summary: Too expensive

Content: I received the Kindle as a wedding present from my husband (he knows me so well). I must admit, at first I wasn't sure that I would like the Kindle. I am obsessed with reading and buying books. I love the smell of the pages and the cover art. However, I am running out of room in my apartment and the Kindle is perfect. I fell in love instantly with my new love. There are so many features that are added pluses (changeable font size, built in dictionary, web access, downloading FREE samples,...) not to mention that this one small gadget can store up to 200 books AND fit easily into any of my purses. I am so totally pleased that I can overlook the few design flaws mentioned in the other reviews (no one is perfect!!). This is a great investment if you love to read. You won't be sorry.
Summary: My New Love
