    ~ WHAT IS A KINDLE AND WHY DID I WANT ONE? ~ A Kindle is a small device by Amazon that can store hundreds of books which makes reading more convenient and easier. The kindle is slim, which means it fits perfectly into a pocket and you can access different books by downloading them and adding them to your kindle. The kindle will always remember where you left off, so you can start reading your chosen book easily again. There are lots of different versions of these types of readers; some are called e-book readers and other different names. Most of the basic one's do the same thing which is to ... more

    5 Stars Kindle Touch - A Touch in the right direction for technology 05/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, excellent battery life, good memory

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No Back light

    ~~Kindle touch~~ Why did I buy the kindle touch? I decided to purchase the Kindle Touch as I enjoy reading and travel a lot; the slim design of the Kindle Touch is a mere fraction of the size of one ordinary book. This makes airport travel a lot easier for me as I frequently fly and take approximately two books with me at each time, buying the Kindle means I can carry more in my hand luggage and also have hundreds of books with me at any time so I can freely pick and choose what I would like to read and when. Features The kindle touch has new technology called E ink display; this mimics the ... more

    5 Stars A library in the palm of my hand 05/11/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very light, fits in handbag, easy to use, clear text

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Touchscreen can be over sensitive

    I love reading and, on average, read about one book a week - sometimes more if I find myself spending a lot of time travelling. My husband is constantly complaining about the sheer number of books we have on our shelves and will periodically tell me I can't buy any more books until I've got rid of some, so I wasn't entirely suprised when I received a Kindle Touch from him as a birthday present. When the Kindle was originally launched I was unsure if I wanted one as I love 'real' books, but I have been using the Kindle app on my iPad on a semi-regular basis, which increased the temptation to ... more

    5 Stars Books at my Fingertips 28/11/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, convenient, very portable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life deteriorated quickly, being valuable shouldn't be left unattended

    I've been using the Kindle Touch for nearly 4 months. It's brought the obvious benefit of having almost any books I want to read readily available. The Kindle Store It was very easy to access the Kindle store on Amazon from the Kindle. The search function was good and I was quickly able to find the books I was looking for and, having bought them, they were on my Kindle in less than a minute. Very convenient. Initially I was looking for fairly new books by well known authors, the prices were a little less than the paper copies but not by all that much. Had I waited a few weeks I may have been ... more

    5 Stars Life with a Kindle 03/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to Use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    In November I decided to purchase a Kindle and found that Amazon had a special deal on the six inch kindle . I was going on a very long journey to Australia and it certainly was easy to carry in my handbag . Before you start using the Kindle you will need to connect it to your computer so the kindle can work in downloading material.in wireless mode. Downloading items is very easy to do. The cost of up to date and popular books seem expensive about the same has you would pay for a hard copy. So I just keep an eye on the special offers then it is not too costly.You can dowload trial magazines ... more
