Kindle 2 user review, by luvmy4brats
KindleBoards member luvmy4brats is one of the first people to receive Amazon’s new Kindle, and she wasted no time in crafting a review of her first impressions.
Excerpts from her review:
“It’s REALLY thin. When I ordered it, I was concerned it would be too thin to be comfortable for my smaller, arthritic hands, but it’s not. It’s perfect. It doesn’t feel flimsy, it’s nice and solid. It’s also beautiful. I would have no problems carrying this around without a cover (except a case for protection). As a matter of fact, it fit quite nicely in the outer pocket (without the cover) in my Vera Bradley Lindsay Bag…”
“It’s much more difficult to accidentally press the pages, but not difficult at all to turn them intentionally. My fingers automatically go the right way. As a previous KK owner, the home back and menu buttons will take some getting used to though. There’s nothing wrong with them, I just need to get used to the placement. Big improvement…”
“5-way: Ok this little thing is cool. When I’m on my home page and push it to the left, I can delete the book. We got that feature in the 1.2 update. No biggie…BUT, if I go to the RIGHT, I can see the whole title of the book and the cover. You’ve got all the info right there. Before, I used to download a bunch of stuff, and then I’d forget what the books were about. It was a pain to head into the Kindle Store and search for the book I needed info about. Now, in just a matter of a few clicks, it links me directly to the book page on the Kindle store so I can read the book description. LOVE this feature, very useful. (I do miss my silver bar, but DON’T miss the wheel.)”
