After much thought and research (including lurking here on the boards), I ordered my Kindle earlier this week and it arrived Friday. My M-Edge Platform case and E-luminator light arrived yesterday and I am having a blast with it! Still trying to decide which book to read first on it. I actually downloaded Treasure Island just for the "test drive" and man, I can't believe I waited this long to join the Kindle Krowd!

Really like the Kindle, the Platform case and the light!!! I'm a believer!

    Greetings and Welcome, Mark!! We are so glad you found KindleBoards! We have many areas that you probably will like. Have you been to The Book Corner yet?  That's the area for discussions about books (naturally Cheesy ). That's also where you will find threads about books Recommended by our Members and a list of additional sites for Book Lovers.
Then there is the Book Bazaar where our member/authors post about their books and hold discussions about writing, publishing and many other topics. That is also where you will locate Bargain Books and even Free Books threads where you can get reading material at low or no cost! Here is a link to get you started: Master list of free & under $1 titles available from Amazon.
     If you have a question about your Kindle or it's usage, check out the FAQ or the forum about Tips, Tricks and Trouble Shooting . Or, just ask your question. We have many helpful and knowledgeable people here at KB  and we feel there is no such thing as a "dumb" question. Questions about KindleBoards may be answered at Your guide to Forum Speak! linked from Forum tips. If not, once again, ask away! To keep everything running smoothly, we ask that everyone read Forum decorum.
Another popular place is Let's Talk Kindle, where all things in the Kindle world are posted about. Be sure and check out the Photo Gallery, where pictures of members, pets, flowers, landscapes or just almost anything interesting can be found.
     Have you been to the Accessories area? There you will see information about covers, skins, lights, bags, stands and many other items to allow you to personalize your Kindle.
Looking to just kill some time while you are waiting for your Kindle or if you have your kindle, want to try something different? Try INFINITY Game - Word Association or The "INFINITY" Thread: KEEP POSTING...Ready, Set,... GO!!! in the Not Quite Kindle area.
Sorry for the long post, but there is just so much to do, learn and like about KindleBoards that I just get carried away. Smiley

Congratulations on the purchase! I have been lurking these boards for about 2 weeks now really trying to decide if I wanted to purchase a Kindle or another eBook reader. Ultimately, this site and a great site I found that compares all the readers out there and their abilities were the deciding factors.

I purchased my Kindle on Friday using the Audible $100 off deal and joined Amazon Prime to have my Kindle shipped overnight. Receiving it bright and early on Saturday morning definitely made my day. I spent all of Saturday playing with it, reading the loaded manual, and perusing this site for tips/tricks and book recommendations. I found the Free books/$1 books thread to be helpful, and loaded a couple books from there, as well as Treasure Island and Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass for testing purposes. I think the first book I'm going to read is "The Dark Tide", as it's currently free for Kindle, and seems to be a great read.
