Reviewer: Paul Manchester
No complaints, reads well, good variety of resources and books. Battery lasts longer if you turn off the wireless component if you are not currently shopping.

I have had a Kindle for about 7 months, and it locked up while doing a software update. After calling the techical support line, and speaking to two different people (who were very friendly) it was determined that the Kindle was unable to be repaired. A new one was express shipped out to me, and all of my books were on it. They even kept the pages that were marked! Amazing product, even more amazing service!
The B&N Nook is a better product

Reviewer: Gamesman
I reserched a lot before buying my ebook reader the B&N Nook. Three major reasons I went this way are as follows.
1.Expandability I can a sd memory to my nook to expand it another 16gb.
2.The battery can be replaced by the user very easily.
3.A format that is in use by many other ebook readers epub so if the business changes hands or goes under it is still viable. And less chance of abuse by the originator.
On a side note it is cheaper and more adaptable (open format). I expect to see apps out for it soon as it is based on android already new wallpapers available.
Didn't know what I was missing

Reviewer: Avjeth
I just love this ereader. I didn't realize how incredible it was to be able to carry my books around to be able to read at my convenience. I travel a lot and the weight of books in my luggage kept me running in the direction of overweight charges. This has eased all of that stress, yet allowed me to have my favorite pass time when I have free moments. Thanks so much for this innovative product.

This is an awesome product, I have read 3 novels in two weeks plus various other books for my career. The only thing I feel needs improvement is the "text to speech", its a good thing I would rather read myself.
