Criteria Comments Rating
  • Display / readability This is the first e-reader I have owned, I didn't believe the hype that the screen would be just like reading a book, and it's not. It is better than a book. great!
  • Battery life I have still never ran out of juice. I typically just use the Kindle during my 45 minute train commute each date, and plug it up whenever i remember to. great!
  • Store and selection of titles Being a Kindle Prime member I am able to rent a book a month for free, and these aren't just any old books, several are best sellers. great!
  • Ease of use Without a keyboard Typing can be a pain, but how often would you really need to type on an e-reader? good
  • Document support No comments —
  • Storage capacity No comments —
  • Durability I just toss my Kindle in my back pack and forget about it, i don't worry about having it in a case or anything. good
  • Design and form factor The only thing that I could possibly critique about the Kindle is that it isn't super easy to use with just one hand. Turning a page and holding it is tricky. good
  • Portability (size / weight) Man this thing is super thin, and super light. There isn't a time that I hold the Kindle that I'm not amazed at it's size and weight. great!
Detailed review
I've been using this Kindle since Christmas, and loving every second of it. I normally don't read much, but my excitement in this device has changed that, at least so far. I love the form factor, so thin and light and the screen looks amazing. It looks too good to be true, and I can't imagine how I used to try and read on a tablet before getting the Kindle.

I opted for no keyboard, and I do not regret it. Sure there are times that it would be nice to have a keyboard but 99% of the time you are just reading with no need to type.
