Craig-They are not that expensive compared to when they first came out.  They are now down to $249.  I think you will like it alot.  Alot of the books are free so that helps too!

Mary-I was too, you can make the font as big as you need it to be so it is very easy to see.  Some days I make it bigger than others!

Rick-Wow thank you so much for the sights!  I might put them in a blog for everyone to see.  I can't wait to go look!  If you enjoy reading you will definitely enjoy an e-reader.

June-I think it is a great gift idea-especially for someone who is hard to buy for.  Since it gets newspapers, blogs, books...it can be used by anyone.

Sandy-I am an avid reader myself and I have adapted quite nicely!  It really doesn't feel much different.  I think if you try it you will be hooked!  And think of the variety at your fingertips!

Stephen-I prefer the Kindle because it has the text to speech feature.  This way if you are driving, walking or your hands are busy (cooking etc...) you can hit the feature and it will verbalize the words so you don't have to read them which makes it very handy!

Haris-I am very pro books but for someone like me and us actually who always have tons of things to carry and wind up waiting unexpectedly here and there the Kindle comes in handy in so many ways.

Wallace-Well said!!

Susan-I couldn't have said it better myself.  I agree 100% with everything you said.  I also have a library wall of books and wouldn't give them up either!

Sallie-Well what a coinky dink!  You will love it!

Mary-I had wanted one for the longest time but just never did anything about it.  I am so happy to finally have one.

Leah-Yes you can take notes on it.  Personally I think you would love it!  The feel of the book is still there and you have so much more at your fingertips.  Valentines Day is coming!  Mention it to your sweetie!

Russel-Oh come on Russel-I still read all of my local papers on the table in front of me as they are-in the full paper fashion.  This is just for stuff that is not readily available my dear!

William-I am a very avid reader and when I was younger less busy I would read 2 or 3 books at a time with little trouble keeping them apart.  Now that I am older so much busier that is alittle harder to do but it is nice to have the Kindle and have such a wide selection at my fingertips at all times. 

Debi-I read alot at night too and I find I like it so much better.  One of the main reasons is the turning side to side.  You know your one wrist gets tired of holding your head up while the other one is the page turner?  Or something like that?  Now I can lay on my back and just hit the turn button or even on my side on my pillow (no hands!) and it is so much easier to read.   You might want to think about it.......!  LOL

Marchel-Read what I just wrote above for Debi.  I find I like to read much better in bed for the above reasons.  It is sooo much easier!

Mike-I chose the Kindle because it has features that no one else has like the text to speech which is a great feature that can be used in many ways for many reasons.

Sam-That does sound like it will be a big sellar.  But it will probably also be big $$$$$ and much bigger in size than the Kindle.

Holly-Yes I have seen that.  You can browse websites too.

Nick-First of all you wouldn't have to "give up your books" to have a Kindle.  As you can see by my statements I have tons and will never give them up nor will Susan Emo.  LOL  This group is not just for Kindle owners, it is for anyone who reads and wants to contribute anything related to it so you are very much welcome.   ;-D

John-I am amazed at all the people saying they are hooked on the feel of a book.  I am too but still love the Kindle or would probably love an e-reader because it gives you access to so much.  You are still welcome to participate here any time you choose!

Sallie-That is funny about all the books.   I am in a book swapping group and there are always large amounts of books here going back and forth between all of my friends.

Gene-I got mine for my birthday and I am thrilled with it!  There are so many things to do with it.

Rick-Thank you!  Only about 5 so far because I am so crazy busy but I am downloading them like crazy for future use.  You can store over 1000 so I don't worry that I am going to fill up anytime soon.  Plus when I am done I delete them and they go over to my Amazon account for future reference if I need them again.  (or to my computer)
