Lovin' It!:
I cannot believe I wanted so long to get the Kindle -- it is the best thing to happen to books in a long time:)

Great reading device:
This is the best buy I have ever made. Or should I say the best device I have ever bought, because it is not cheap. It is quite expensive, but if you read as much as I do you will save a lot of money after a couple of month.
Kindle and Amazon - A great product and great service:
I love my kindle. My husband purchased the Kindle DX for me for our anniversary. It was the best thing he's ever bought for me. I've taken it just about everywhere with me. I read when I'm working out, it reads to me when I drive. LOVE IT. However, I had a problem with the Kindle DX and I contacted Amazon.com. The service was outstanding and they helped me resolve my problems. Between the Kindle and Amazon's service, there couldn't be a better combination.
