My Kindle arrived yesterday (2days early) much to my delight. I am having the time of my life. Yes, I am a hopeless tech junkie. Between my G1 phone & my Kindle I'm in heaven.
About Kindle: I have a few issues with the design and the poorly constructed case- not leather or suede; with a little ingenuity I can now use my Kindle without it slipping and sliding out...very aggravating. I also figured out how to side step the side buttons trap...not a smart decision at all to put it there,irritating.
Keep in mind that I'm still in the getting-2-know-u phase; however, so far so good, it is a breeze... ez to use.
I love my Kindle; It really impressed me because I am here writing a review and as long and as much I shop on Amazon, I have never written any reviews. Yes Kindle you have my full attention, so I bought the Kindle Cookbook so I could get optimum use of my Kindle. I have a voracious reading appetite and this reader is addictive- even more so than my books- and I read several books weekly. My only concern at the moment is my ability to buy books at the click of a button. It's great but it could also be a pitfall...yep a trap. The books are cheap- much cheaper than SONY's. Most Best Sellers cost $9.99, so you see...
I am having fun acquainting myself with my new toy- thank God for birthdays and great gifts. I was a good girl all year and I got a G1 and my Kindle... Now, I'm bookmarking, highlighting, looking up words, shopping...Isn't life and technology great? Thanks Jeff Bezos....All things considered- I wouldn't part with my Kindle.
I would've given it 5 ***** but those cumbersome, intrusive side button & inferior quality pleather cover detracted from the almost heaven Kindle experience- it turned me off.

overall, i love the Kindle. i love reading it and how wonderful it is to get what i want to read in under a minute. however, it does have a few minor flaws. the ergonomics are a little off.....you almost always have to hold it from the bottom, which is annoying at first, but it gets to be a second nature. its just that you tend to hold actual books at the sides. the case it comes with is very impractical. other than that i would recommend it to anyone.

I have had my new "Christmas" (early) Kindle 3 days; the following are my experiences with it:
1) it froze up without the wireless "on" causing the need to reset it, which involved removing the back to depress the reset. Customer service advises this "very unusual".
2) need better information about the books total pages and number of "pages" read. The explanation about the "locations" is very strange and does not clearly display the number of "pages" or "locations" read. The dots are not very helpful.
3) It is VERY difficult to remove the battery and reset button cover; you need two healthy hands, and I have arthritis.
4) the "wheel" or curser is difficult to control when trying to depress it to make a choice ... it rolls too easily.
5) very small places to hold it without advancing pages.
6) when I tried to find titles such as John Grisham's "The Firm" or "The Pelican Brief" was disappointed to see not available. Also, Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" not available, Carl Hiaasen had only 3 titles, James A. Michener, only one title.
Amazon has extended the return policy for the Christmas holiday; I have until January 2009 to decide if I'll keep it or return it. I'm leaning toward returning because of the poor title selections.
Note: The new and improved version is to be released next year.

I am an avid reader. I never thought I would switch from paper to an electronic reader. After a few days with the Kindle, I never want to go back to paper. I read on my way to work on a commuter train. I didn't have a problem with glare or flickering text. Thank goodness, the screen isn't like a laptop monitor! And I can store multiple books.....I am truly in book Heaven!
I have a couple of bones to pick with the Kindle Designers though. The holder isn't so great. The Kindle almost fell out a couple of times. I would buy a different case if it were available. Also, the Kindle is a very ugly battleship grey color. On the plus side, no one would want to steal it. Yes, people it is that ugly.
Kindle is wonderful but you are not getting cute.

This is a great product! I have used it for sometime before writing this review. The books are great, the size of the Kindle is perfect. I have read where other customers would like to have the Kindle be an all in one device and I think this is a ridicules thought. The Kindle was made for readers. It was made to function and look like the pages of a book and that is exactly what it does. It is for readers and should remain that way. The only problem that I have with the device is that it has a large "page turning" button on the right hand side. This button is very easy to push and needs to be smaller. Some older books could be placed on the Kindle as well and I hope they will be soon. All around this is a great item and I would definitely order one again! What a great idea. If oyu do wish to get a Kindle make sure you order the extra leather holder that seats the Kindle on all four corners the case that comes with it does not hold the Kindle well. 5 star item for reading and carrying a large number of books.
