    4 Stars I'm not going back to paper books! Review with images 02/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Slim & light, free books, books are cheaper, can be held in one hand

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small buttons on touch keyboard, limited accessories

    ~ 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

    5 Stars The Amazon Kindle Touch, robust, fast and wonderfully portable! 30/12/2011

    Advantages Advantages Massive storage space, huge range of books available, portability

    Disadvantages Disadvantages could do with a built in backlight.

    I was given this as a gift. From my point of view it is brilliant. I have children who do activities and am often stuck in the car waiting for them to finish activities,. The Kindle holds up of 1,400 books which means I can have any number stored and not end up with a handbag full of dog eared paperbacks. When I first got this I was concerned that I would miss the "feel" of a book in my hands but took to it very easily, it slips easily in my handbag, plus I have books for the children on there, should they become bored and want to use it. I love the fact that I can have recipe books on there ... more

    4 Stars "The Good And Bad Of The Kindle Touch" 01/07/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simple to Use, Fun, Easy to buy and contain new books, Built in Wi-Fi

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard to carry around, Easy to lose, Easily broken

    I personally enjoyed my Amazon Kindle Touch, I found the touch feature quite nice and easy to use, as well as the whole device itself. Very user friendly, I never really felt like I didn't understand something, which is great. The ability to carry so many books around was fantastic, and the built in wifi to make it so I can get books anywhere? Wonderful. Its sleek and professional looking, another bonus. Yet at the same time it was hard for me to just carry around, too big to fit in my pocket, and it sure didn't like to be dropped when I attempted to carry it! I only dropped it once and its ... more

    Advantages Advantages low price great quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages have to buy books

    Listen up book readers! The Kindle is an awesome tablet that allows you to read books and more. There are different types of Kindle's as well. The Kindle Fire allows you play games, read book, search the internet, and much more. Kindle's are my all time favorite tablet and I recommened them to each and every one of you. The regualr Kindle starts at $99 and the Kindle Fire is $199. Ninety-nine dollars for a Kindle is a great price. Kindle's are easy to use and addicting to be on. I remember when I first got my Kindle I could not put it down for the life of me. Everywhere I went I had it with me ... more

    4 Stars Easy to use 20/09/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, light, easy on the eyes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Recess to screen means night time reading under a lamp produces shadows

    Easy to use, light, easy on the eyes Recess to screen means night time reading under a lamp produces shadows I used a Nookcolor to read eBooks previously (with screen turned to white text on black & brightness right down at night) and held off getting a Kindle due to non touch-screen. The touch screen gets some getting used to, but with Amazon releasing 5.0.4 firmware/software on the device it has resolved some of the earlier teething problems. I would recommend the device, & would say the extra cost for a 3G enabled version is a bit much for the privilege of downloading books on the move ... more
