Kindle: First Impressions and pics

[Lee Reynoldson]

Hi, just got my (wifi) Kindle 3. Loving it. Have blogged about my first impressions, plenty of pictures too. You can read the blog post here

Welcome to the party. Once you made the switch to an eBook reader, it is hard to go back.

[Lee Reynoldson]

Thanks for the welcome Guido, at the moment I still have a huge pile of dead tree books to read through, but the call of the Kindle is very strong.

[Guido Henkel]

The call will get weaker and weaker... at fist I bought both, eBooks and paperbacks, now, about 2 years into my Kindle life, I don't consider printed books, unless it is something I really want to read and it its not available in digital. Most of the time I even push those books off, and wait until they become available as eBooks.

I can see it going that way for me. Amazon just need to bring out the waterproof Kindle for reading in the bath and I'll be golden.

I am with you! ONLY downside is that I will probably go through 2-3 a year as I have dropped it in the bubbles!  Enjoy!

Not just waterproof, but ruggedized.  As more and more kids get Kindles, this is going to become an issue.

Ziploc bag, or if you want to spend the $, a Guardian case! I read at our lake property (IN the lake) all the time!

Excellent review. Thanks.

That is ridiculously beautiful packaging. As nice as Apple's at any rate...

I don't think I've ever bought an Apple product so not sure about that, but the Kindle package sure is nice. I'll have to post an actual use review soon.
