Criteria Comments Rating
  • Display / readability Very clear, better than the iPad 2. Can read for hours without reading glasses or eye fatigue. great!
  • Battery life Charge lasts about a month with 5 books read. great!
  • Store and selection of titles Good selection, difficult to find really good books (too many to choose from). Much easier to use the web interface than the device interface. good
  • Ease of use Can't go wrong with only two buttons. Even my grandma gets it. great!
  • Document support Amazon. 'nuff said. great!
  • Storage capacity They're books, I could store these on my flash drive from 8 years ago. great!
  • Durability Feels very durable, haven't dropped it or sat on it yet. Seems too thin to stand up to the punishment of a child. good
  • Design and form factor Device is the same size as those new 2/3 size hardcover books. Screen is the same size as a paperback. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) Light and thin enough to hold one-handed. great!
Detailed review
I love books; real, dead-tree books. Most of the time I buy real books, but lately I can't make the time to carry and read them. The Kindle does what I needed, reduce the size of my books so that I can carry them with me everywhere and read more books.
