User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I love my Kindle and I look forward to many years of use
I waited and watched other products get launched but in the end, I decided that the 2 most important features were available with the Kindle.

(1) Screen size: I wanted the largest screen possible since I wanted to use the ereader for reviewing PDF documents as well as books.

(2) Native PDF document capability: I am happy that this was added to the DX.

I bought mine after the Nook was announced, I had hoped that a more competitive product would be released. I am fond of Amazon for shopping in general so it would have been a bit challenging to get me to switch over to B&N for books.

Features and items that I’d like to see in the future are:

(a)More text books and academic books. I wish that I had the Kindle while in business school and that the text books were available as eBooks. Even though, I am done now, I like to reference and review things that would be easier to do if the books were available as eBooks. And I would love to trade the the text books in for eBook versions.

(b)Expansion of websites that I can navigate to in order to review my PDF documents.

(c) (Not possible in the current version but) speed up the processor so reading and replying to email is reasonable to do on the Kindle (Why not, there is a screen and a keyboard.)

(d) A future eReader that is child proof so that I can give one to each of my nephews in order to get them started with reading books and so that I can give them books throughout the year.

5 Stars FANTASTIC!!!
Is ALL that I hoped it would be. SO! easy to use! So! easy to get books… and SO! many free books!!

3 Stars Kindel DX Great for Books; Not for PDF in color!!!
I am really enjoying the capability of having the Kindle for downloading books; however, it is not as effective as I thought it would be. As a student I thought this would be a great tool for research projects where PDF’s and articles could be reviewed at anytime, any place. The Kindle does allow you to download PDFs, but it does not allow you to change the size of the font for reading purposes and if the PDF is in color….forget about reading it..quality is lacking in this area. I am disappointed in this feature. I would also love to have the capability of sorting the downloaded information; possibly setting up a file for books in one area, PDF’s in another…maybe I’m missing something, everything goes into the document file and you have to go through your entire index to find what you want, this will be a nightmare as I continue to add items.

5 Stars Enjoy reading!
My grandmother bought my first novel and opened my eyes to the joy of reading. The biggest problem has been storage space for all of my books. I have started to pick out volumns of my lesser liked authors and donate them to my local library. Another thought is the money that I have spent through the years. My Kindle DX is the “cat’s meow”. Storage is no longer a problem and the price for books insures great savings. The quality of reading a novel on a “Kindle” has not lessened because of not having a hardbound, colorful jacketed book in hand. I enjoy the built in features that make using the “Kindle” so easy.

The first one that I saw was being used by a gentleman in a waiting room. I asked him about it and he explained it with great pleasure. I was able to use some coupons from my bank which allowed me to upgrade to the DX model. I am happy that I did and I would not hesitate to purchase one again with or without savings coupons.

My daughters love to read and this will be a great gift for them.

Thank you very much for bringing the joy of reading to the 21st century.

As advertised-great product, especially for anyone who is in seevral different places in a day. I also travel among 3 locations, so bringing reading material has always been a challenge, whether it be professional or personal reading.
