Perfect if you love to read.

If you are an avid book worm, this is the product for you. It is easy to read with no eye strain. Books download in less than 30 sec and mine stays charged around five days reading about an hour a day. I purchased this because I live in a small condo and have very little space. My husband was wanting me to get rid of books I had already read to make more space. This was a good solution for me, because now I can house hundreds of books in the same space as one paperback. Only drawback is that I read a lot of diet books and if there are a lot of recipes or exercise charts you want to fill out you either have to download and print them or just buy the book.

Easy to use reference guide

I liked the fact that the authors repeated some of the info in more than one section of their book. You don't have to guess where to find an answer. (Did they put this under "Basics" or under "Other Features"?) I found several interesting tips that I hadn't seen published anywhere else.

I just received my kindle and i like this device. I love having my books organized, my husband is overjoyed that he does not have to buy more bookshelves. I stopped for lunch and several people wanted to see the kindle and find out what it is like to use one. Many are surprised that newspapers and magazines could also be purchased wirelessly on the kindle. I can't wait for the experimental items to become part of the kindle experience.

I gladly wandered through the online thread gleaning kindle knowhow until this reference book was mentioned. Now I more gladly use my kindle search button with The Amazon Kindle FAQ on my kindle for all the instant answers to my questions. Love the concise "hands on" style.

Kindle FAQ.

This Kindle FAQ is a great addition for anyone who has a Kindle. Even though you may know alot of things this FAQ includes, there are alot of new things that you will discover just by reading this.
This FAQ isnt to long and its not to short. It gets straight to the point, and is very helpful. I would highly recommend this to anyone who just got a Kindle or has had one for quite sometime now.
