Kindle: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device

Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading DeviceI am a stay at home mom with a small baby. I bought this so I could read with one hand (I'm serious!). The Kindle has delivered on all its promises, as far as I am concerned. I am only really using it for reading in my very limited free time. I really enjoy being able to preview the first chapter or so of the books I am interested in before I buy them. One of my favorite features is the Daily Kindle blog which provides reading recommendations and updates me on books being considered or winning various awards. It's like a personalized version of the New York Times Book Review. The web browsing is clunky, but convenient to have in a pinch. I prefer to do my surfing on a real computer, and read when I am ready to read. I love the digital nature of the books -- no trees are used, no storage required for the books I buy, and I can use it with one hand. The down side is that I cannot loan the book to my friends, but I can still give them recommendations and I save money per book.
