    First time Kindle

    By all the means, this is a great product. It's not a tablet, it's not a smartphone, it is a completely different things, its a Kindle. Been myself a person who travels a lot, and having plenty time to work and to little to enjoy, I found that I can select and read an entire book, learn about my hobbies and specialized reading interests, with out depending of having an electric outlet near. The Kindle allows me that, having a lot to read, as if I had a full pack of books on my backpack, all in one place, and with WiFi to access to the web when I need it, as if it was a tablet or smartphone. The Pros I have found using it: 1) Small, easy to carry 2) Good storage capacity, taking into account that we will carry text instead of heavy media files 3) Easy to use, more simple than a tablet, with touchscreen, and simplified characteristics 4) Good browser, something I didn't expected in a ebook reader, I used it to reserve hotels and to check-in a couple of flights 5) Great battery duration, I charged it almost 1 month ago, using not much wifi, but reading a lot, still has half charge. The Cons: 1) Small screen. The full potential of this eink technology will be when we can use it as a full newspaper reader, or web-based news reader, lets say, a A4 size would be the summum 2) Not full support of PDF. I read a lot of books in PDF, but the browser does not allows me to download this format. To read PDFs with images, the screen becomes a little tricky to handle, zooming and passing pages when not required. 3) Browser not fully developed, still as an experimental app. Note that as a ereader, having a browser is just a bonus point. 4) Being a Linux based software, Amazon arranged to lock all the potential of a (grey screen) tablet (I think its just me) 5) It could have simple apps (Checklists for example) Finalizing, in a time where everything has to be charged each several hours, I was expecting a ereader (almost a Casio calculator) but I received a tablet (it is), with a long lasting battery, I like to think that its a PDA with a battery duration of months. It makes one think if making things simpler, its better, we can loss some apps and have a great tool. Right now Im using it as a motorcycle shop manual to learn how to adjust the valves of my motorcycle (on a Zip bag obviously).

    Great e-reader

    I love this Kindle. It's a great value, and it isn't dependent on having a WIFI connection - that means you can download new material or place Amazon orders from about anywhere. I have 4 different models - 2 with 3G. 3G is definitely the way to go. 2 with keyboards, 2 with just touch screens. I don't much care whether it has a touch screen or not. Sometimes, but rarely, a keyboard is advantageous. Seriously, the prices of these are dirt cheap. They have almost all of the features of the newest devices. What's not to like? I'm not completely up to date with all of the features or how to customize it, but it works! I have read a very long book, and am almost finished another, with it. The battery lasts for weeks when reading a couple of hours a day. It charges quickly, too. The touch screen is nice. The Paperwhite (?) is fairly easy to read in most lighting. I would like to know how to increase the font size - I'm sure there is a way, Sometimes, a larger font would be nice when the eyes get tired. It even plays MP3's or reads along. Nice. I can't say enough about how inexpensive these are - seriously, about $30 - some less, some more. Oh, and the thing in the bottom of the middle is a home button. The speakers are on the bottom of the back. And you can rotate reading if you want a panoramic view. You can upload files with a USB connection, too. This model doesn't have a color screen. It you want to watch video, get another model or stare at TV. I read.

    Love this Kindle version!

    This is my second Kindle Touch, purchased for my husband because of how much I love mine! I'm sure there've been improvements with e-ink, but this little guy does great. It's responsive, the battery lasts several weeks, it holds hundreds of books...my only criticism of it was that the screen isn't lit. The Kindle lighted case was the best solution for me--compact, lights the screen effectively and doesn't require an outside power source. I don't even notice a difference with my Kindle battery life. Mine has the ads and AT&T 3G, which I've appreciated when I've been sitting on the beach. I was also able to use the web browser to read emails, but I've not tried that since having a smart phone. I actually LIKE seeing the ads. My recent purchase is wifi only without ads. This is great too. While I've only used the Read-to-Me feature a few times, I wanted my husband to have the same option. The reading voice uses some inflection and is easy to understand. I've not loaded and MP3s on mine, but I still like have that option. PROS: Comfortable size and weight Touch screen for page turning is simple Can do text to speech on any publication Choice of font size Able to load MP3's Can connect to car audio for reading or MP3 playback Long battery life-several weeks The Kindle brand lighted case works great CONS: No built-in back screen light Limited font choices No color options I highly recommend this older version Kindle, especially with a Kindle brand lighted case. I don't plan to upgrade until all the same features are offered again, at a reasonable price, with a backlight.

    Easy to Use

    I'm not tech savvy, but I bought this as an easy way for me to lug around a bunch of books without taking up a lot of room. This is sleek, lightweight, and easy to use. I went through the instruction manual that came in this device first and I was good to go. The instructions were easy to understand and since they are already downloaded onto this device, I can refer back to it whenever I need to and not worry about losing the instruction manual. The battery life is awesome. I've had this for a few weeks, read 7 books, and it still hasn't died! The screen is great for reading because it doesn't hurt my eyes like when I'm surfing on an iPad. It's very much like reading a book. The prices for Kindle books are great and affordable and their Kindle Unlimited subscription makes it way too easy for book-lovers like me to keep reading new books all the time. If you read two to three books a month, the Kindle Unlimited might be a great way to go. It pays for itself. I can't say enough about this device. It's easy to use, simple, sleek, lightweight, affordable, easy for my eyes, etc. The only thing is that I can't see the screen in the dark, which would be the same with a regular book. One could use a book light/lamp for that. It's easier on the eyes to use a light/lamp versus having a backlit screen I think.

    my first kindle

    I was pretty specific about what I wanted in a kindle and I wasn't disappointed! The touch screen is amazing, I love that it has 3G , I downloaded a book from the kindle store while camping! It was easy to learn to use , the voice is very 'computer' and not a real sounding voice ,which kinda sucks and it says to turn off wifi to preserve your battery . I used it steady all weekend and left the wifi on and the battery level was low but it didn't run out. ( it does say it lasts 2 months!! ) It had zero glare in the sun and I got a case with a little pull out light on a small arm that works perfect also without glare. It has adjustments for reader comfort and it's my new favorite thing ! Reading it at home in 2 weeks the battery level is down just 1/4 way. I highly recommend !

    One of the best e-readers EVER

    Amazon, please take a clue from you past and make another updated version of this e-reader with a SPEAKER. The only thing missing from your new Voyage and Paperwhite is a speaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! If they had a speaker and you could listen to the text it would the the ULTIMATE E-Reader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This one, even though it's a past generation is still working perfectly. It was well made, the text was crisp. Only was missing a light which was offered built in on the cover, so that is OK. If this e-reader had been back lit and the voice in the text to speech up to date with the voice on the new fire readers I would give this the award of BEST E-READER ON THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!! The battery life is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did something RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go back and do it again but tweak it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of us are hooked on text to speech!

    E-reading at it's finest

    This was my first ever e-reader. This is the ONLY one that will not only download books with Wi-fi but 3G network as well. This is old school, but it works flawlessly. The only exception as I just found out is that Audible will no longer support this device. No more audiobooks, boo! My last one battery crapped out on me. I had it for 7 years and I didn't feel like spending $50 on a used (new version) one. This was exactly what I wanted. It's lightweight and the battery lasts a month on a single charge. The screen is silky smooth and easy to read in the daylight. No backlight, no bluetooth. But it's one huge step up from a regular paperback.

    Love my Kindle Touch

    Having a Kindle is like having a library and a book store in your hand. This Kindle Touch with 3G wireless connectivity is great. Amazon provides the free data to connect you to the Kiindle store, so you can purchase your next book without even leaving your reading chair. The text to speech function (not available on newer models) lets your Kindle Touch read to you. I learned to appreciate this feature whle suffering from severe vertigo. (Hours of lying perfectly still with nothing to do.) Listening to a book helped take my mind off the sensation of spinning. Great e reader.

    with updated software works well

    PDF and MOBI formats work great...converted epub or other to MOBI don't work well (like using Calibre to change format) Memory can be slow to load book menu (I have 200+ books)...but after I updated to latest software and the RESET to factory,it reset to factory UPDATED version with latest software and worked much better Battery life good Starter cord broke first day and left turn signal won't blink otherwise for a basic book reader it's great !

    SOOO Glad to have this, the best Kindle ever made in my opinion

    After my Kindle Touch was stolen, I evaluated the more recent Kindle releases. I learned that the closest equivalent to the Touch didn't have sound ports and also had a lit screen, which, after staring at a computer screen for ten hours a day, I simply could not stomach in my down time. I was soo happy to find an ebay seller with the old Kindle Touch, along with a leather case, for a great price.
