Product Description |
|
At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands. Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Kindle has a new easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required. With Kindle's 25% longer battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly. Whispernet utilizes Buyadvd's optimized technology plus Sprint's national high-speed (3G) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike WiFi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot. |

Kindle: full of surprises |
I now have been using my kindle for three weeks. I was initially impressed by the helpfulness of the kindle community, which is essential reading for a new owner.
The speed of delivery was impressive - four days from the USA to my door-step on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Initially, I found the page small by paperback standards. However, after purchasing a leather jacket and after an hour of reading I soon realised that the book reading pleasure in my later life is greatly enhanced. The convenience of print size, portabiulity and the excellent wireless connection and fast downloads from the Buyadvd store are outstanding achievements. I am particuilarly impressed by the free first chaper (- or more) sample of an enormous range of books. Prices from Buyadvd are fair and cheaper than most sites I have found and it is not too difficult to download and reformat other Ebooks, especially classics from the Guthenburg site.
As a life long reader, this is the most rewarding reading experience I have yet encountered. Now my wife wants one! |

Excellent Customer Service from Buyadvd |
I purchased the Kindle for my wife who is an avid reader. It was a Christmas gift and she has been very happy with it. She loves having several books on it that she can read to her hearts content.
However, last month she noticed that there was not a recharging unit in the box it came in. I couldn't believe it. Anyway, I called Buyadvd's customer service department. I spoke to Matt T their CSR. It could not have been a better experience. After a sincere apology he instructed me to order the replacement charging unit with 1 day express delivery and made it very easy via the hyperlinks he provided to me online. He appropriately and almost immediately had my gift and credit card credited for the replacement costs. Next day I promptly received the charger. You can't beat that for service!
Great work Matt and Buyadvd!!!
Sincerely,
Rich |

Just right for me |

I spent a considerable amount of time looking at ebooks before I decided on the Kindle, latest generation. I received it already loaded with several books I purchased prior to it being delivered. I'm pleased to say it was the right choice for me. Size and weight were important factors for me as I have arthritis in my hands and wrists. The Kindle isn't too big or heavy for me to use comfortably. I've recommended it to family and friends. |

I was quite happy when I bought kindle. The only problem that it broke in 3 months, without any external impact. |
