Their prices for ebooks and the Kindle are obscene.Anyone can purchase a laptop or netbook, especially used, for far less than a Kindle. Then they can download free ebooks (I have over 800), watch videos, play games, and surf the web. I do all of this on a 10 y/o tablet PC that is better, cheaper, and more reliable than any ebook reader. If Amazon “sold” ebooks, it is only proof of the avaricious nature of Amazon.

While most people would not give 3 or more hardbacks as a gift, it seems likely that they would put 5 or more books on a Kindle.

It is just incredible. Instant access to books. Decent prices. Unbelievably fast downloads of books. Able to download and read samples before you purchase. Hassle free setup and use... basically turn it on start enjoying. Easy to read screen. Selectable fonts means I don't have to wear my glasses. "Book marks" and "Notes". Fast charge times and long lasting charges (with the wireless turned off for reading). Definitely a big improvement to the way I read. I received a Kindle for Christmas. It is just incredible.

So far I have purchased 6 books 5 of them being over $6. I love being able to find new books, read the first chapter and if I like it Bam I have it in under 60 seconds. I also use Amazon's website to read what other readers have written about the books first. I am a very fast reader I have already finished almost 3 of the 6 I have purchased. I love my kindle!

I even paid extra for faster shipping and have yet to see my stuff... So, apparently Amazon was too busy sending out these hunks of junk to send my DVDs out in the time they had promised.

There are NO NUMBERS in this article. What kind of press release regurgitation is this? Nice ad for Kindle, suckers. How many books did they actually sell for comparison!?

Would have bought more if the other titles I wanted had been available electronically. As it is, I put off purchasing those titles that were not available for my Kindle and don't anticipate I will ever buy a paper book again unless I absolutely must have the title and there is no other option.

No more "I gotta remember to get that book". I think this product will expand the market for all types of writing because it has the ability to offer instant purchases.
