Very good indeed. I'd like to have the function of exchanging books with another kindle owners like we borrow paper books from friends.
Kindle device is great July 30, 2010

Have not had this long but am enjoying. I was not sure when I bought it if I would like it as I really do like the old fashioned books, but it is so light and easy to use. I love the dictionary function means I can easily look up a work when previously I would have just skipped over it.

Love it. Bought 1 for my wife's birthday several months ago, couldn't wait for my birthday so we could do the same for my gift!
Wasn't much of a reader... July 30, 2010
Michael Studebaker (Kennewick, WA.)
I'm not much of a reader, until I got my Kidle. I have read more in the last month with my Kindle than I have in the last year. Easy to use, easy to read. The best part is you can read whatever you want and no one knows what you're reading.
 The background screen is too dark July 30, 2010

I'm a first time kindle user and I believe that this would have been a great product, except for the fact that the background screen is DARK GRAY.
I'm not familiar with their technology, but it seems that they could have easily projected the "e-ink" against a much lighter background. Just compare the background to the color of the kindle itself. Better yet, hold up any random book you find, open it up and compare it to the kindle screen; the difference is apalling. There is no reason for the page background to be that dark.
I would LIKE to think that Amazon did not do this purposefully so that they could easily "improve the contrast by 50%" in future generations simply by providing a brighter background. I am not familiar with the tech for this device, so perhaps this is as bright as their tech would allow. I am surprised that, out of all the reviews I've read about the Kindle, this issue was rarely brought up, if at all. Anyway, Target (where i bought it) will not allow any returns, and neither will Amazon. For future reference, do not buy any kindles thru target!
