The...I'm really liking it! Thanks for asking.<br /><br />There aren't as many books available as I would wish, yet, but the two books I *most* wanted to buy (but was worried about finding shelf space for) were available. Shelf space was the reason my husband bought it for me. <br /><br />I had considered buying one for myself, but it was just too expensive. If my husband hadn't already done it, I would have simply waited. <br /><br />I'm a little worried about the Sony Reader / Kindle war. I'm guessing Kindle will win, but who knows? They may both be like the 8-track tape.<br /><br />One bummer about it is that it's not easy for my family to buy me a book for my birthday. A gift card to Amazon.com is not as much fun, bcs my kids like to pick out the actual book. I may have to suggest that Amazon sell book-specific gift cards, or something.<br /><br />I find it easy to read (I love being able to make the type bigger--it makes it easier to read in the dim, and easier to read as I walk). It isn't backlit, which is deliberate, of course; designed to be easy on the eyes, so no reading in the dark.<br /><br />It's very comfortable to hold. And it's easier to read while I eat (no need to worry about getting the pages sticky; it lies quite flat, and I can "turn the page" by pushing a button w/ my knuckle).<br /><br />It's lightweight and easy to hold while I'm standing on the subway or bus.<br /><br />And its cool factor is, like 19 on a scale of 1 to 10. People ask me about it on the street!<br /><br /><br />I've been buying all the public-domain books that are available. Right now I'm in the middle of The J.G. Reeder mysteries.TootsNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250160403913606481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19423216.post-78703016979341149492009-06-01T05:05:26.824-07:002009-06-01T05:05:26.824-07:00Aside from the preloaded dictionary, how are you g...Aside from the preloaded dictionary, how are you getting on with your Kindle?
