Detailed review
I love my Amazon Kindle... The Kindle Store is amazing, it is great to be able to download books without hooking up to a PC. It is very easy on the eyes, just like looking at paper.
The controls for the Kindle are usable, but after using the Kindle 2, they definitely feel inferior. It uses a sliding wheel to select items which can be difficult especially for older people.
Books are excellent on the Kindle, but I have given up on magazines and newspapers. The format just doesn't work for them. Amazon really needs to make it more like reading a magazine or newspaper in real life or on the web.
Book prices are also great on the Kindle. $9.99 is the most I have spent on a book, and it's great to not have stacks of books left over when you're done with them.
I highly recommend the Kindle, but if you're planning on buying one, definitely pick up the newer version. It is much improved over this great, original device.
