Over priced for what you get October 11, 2008
I just don't get why this is so expensive. I have a 3G iPhone with a FREE eReader app called Stanza. I can read the exact same books that the Kindle does plus all the other features of 3rd party apps including PDF support.

If Amazon really wanted to sell this thing they'd subsidize the cost and create a membership package to a virtual book club. 99 bucks for the reader and 29.99 a year for the club would the sweet spot for me.

3 WEEK OWNER October 11, 2008
After reading all the reviews I finally ordered my Kindle. I did the overnight delivery and had mine the next day! I am almost finished with my first book and I must say that the placement of the page buttons are a headache at times. It makes holding the Kindle while reading a pain because it is very easy to hit a the next page button. I hope that they will change the location of those buttons on the next version. With that being said I really enjoy it and it is well worth it , in fact when they come out with the next version I will buy the upgrade! Being able to change the font size is worth it all! The Kindle is pricey but like many other things in our lives...it is a luxury. Happy Reading!

Wonderful gift! October 11, 2008
I bought the Kindle for my daughter for her 25th b-day who reads constantly. The best gift ever! She absolutly loves it...who wouldn't. She brought it to her boyfriends house and everyone wanted to see it and loved it too. She reads out next to the pool, sunlight has no affect on it, so convienent. I knew it would be a fantastic gift when it's something I want. Gift cards would be nice so they can purchase books as part of the gift.

I Agree, Serious design flaws October 11, 2008

I am a "first adopter" who ran out and bought a Sony Reader right when it came out. I rushed out and bought the Kindle on the first day it was on sale. I love the concept. There are some features of the Kindle that I think are great. I really enjoy downloading newspapers and magazines and I love the fact that you can preview a sample of a book before you buy it.
BUT, if you like to read in bed, FORGET IT!!! The way that the page turning buttons are situated, if you doze off while reading, you wind up holding down the page turning button. You wake up someplace far ahead in your book of where you were when you dozed off. Even worse, the kindle has it's own system for identifying where you are in a book. I hate the fact that they do not use page numbers, like the Sony reader does. All and all you will love reading it sitting up, but hate reading it lying down. Unfortunately for me, I gave away my Sony Reader. It was less fancy, and had less features, but it was a pleasure to read in bed. I am going back to paper books and waiting for version two of the Sony Reader. DO NOT BUY THIS if you like to read in bed and doze off when you are reading, you will find it infuriating.
