I bought this for my wife who's favorite passtime is to read. She loves it! The only two she wishes she could change is the size of the page turning tab and the wireless signal strength, which is partially due to our geographic location. Definatly worth the purchase though!

I tried to give Kindle a 4.5, so I gave it a 5 instead. The only two flaws: no backlight and the next page button is too easy to hit!

I am a fairly new owner of the Kindle. The only complaint I have so far is that, in my opinion, it has a design flaw. The page turners on each side are way too sensitive or poorly located. I find myself touching one or the other and loosing my place in what I'm reading. It's very irritating.
The Kindle, How long to be used..... January 7, 2009

I was so excited when I purchased the Kindle. It was pricey, although I go the Oprah discount, but I thought it would be something My husband and I would use for years to come. He is a big reader, and enjoyed the first few books I ordered for him. (Twelve might orphans, and a few others)
then, as he would finish one book I would look at ordering another and then consider the investment! He told a friend of his about the kindle and the "orphans..." story and wanted to share it with him. I explained that it was too expensive and not practical to share with someone, then we couldn't use it. Also, the books are really too expensive. It is much cheaper just to go to a half price book store and buy a book, borrow one from the library, or just borrow one from a friend.
I think it can be good, but amazon needs to lower the price of books, esp. in this economy.
