Hi,

I bought a Kindle for myself for Christmas - one of the best things I have ever owned.  Buying books from the kindle store is truly a wonder - they are literally there within seconds of hitting the buy button.

I read a lot and my husband is always complaining about how many books we have in the house, but guess what, I will never buy a paperback book again, or any other kind hopefully!!

Enjoy it.....

My relationship with books hasn't ended, it has been refreshed. It is the contents that matter above all else. I wonder, if like a few sealed boxes of letters I have (hand written with a fountain pen with a stamp on them), a few sealed boxes of books will also become curiosities for my grandchildren to look at in ... twenty+ years time! What to keep?

Don't know if I'm quite convinced ... yet

Hi Jonathan  - I'm not too tech-savvy but would you recommend the Kindle to someone like me?!  I like books and the feel of 'em but they do take up space in the home and may be an alternative means to reading isn't such a bad idea.  Please advise & thanks   Sharon Carr-Wu

I've been thinking about one of these for my wife [yeh ] so I expect an in-depth review! Some people that I've 'talked' to love their Kindle, some are blase...

I'm yet to receive my Kindle. There are several thousand reviews on Amazon. They can't all (if any) be a fix. You can download the software for free onto a PC or MAC. I'd suggest you do that, as I have down, then buy and book and try the experience. Your 'book' arrives the second yo payment goes through. After that I was soon convinced that it was a far BETTER experience that reading on paper. Notes and Highlighter are an unexpected bonus I had't thought about, so now I highlight and makes notes as I go along ... which I used to do on paper, or with the book on a stand next to a laptop. Go see and report back! All the best, Jonathan
