I've had my Kindle with 3G for several years and absolutely love it. I love the text to speech feature which allows me to continue "reading" my story while my eyes are otherwise occupied although it's a monotone computer voice that sometimes mangles words.

I have the Kindle Fire and LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I use it to read, check mail, the weather, etc. I have some cute freebie apps for my littles on there too, which helps while in a waiting room at the dentist, or orthodontist's. I can take it with me to the gym and read while working out on the tread mill, elliptical, or recumbant bike. It stands sturdily (is that a word) and doesn't flip pages or slip down while I'm doing my workout.

What I don't like is typing/texting on it. I can't text at all! Typing I can do just fine, if you don't count my typos. :P

I have down loaded acouple of free books from Barns and Noble and then went to the intetnet web site and had it changed to Kindle format works great............................ I do have the Nook app on my computer to down load the books to first.

I have had a Kindle for several years now. I love it. My books were taking over my sewing room so I gave them to the church. I have a bad shoulder and reading large heavy books was starting to hurt. This Kindle has solved that problem. My daughter lives on the east coast and I live in Oregon. The Kindle is perfect for traveling. I am thinking of getting the Kindle Fire so I can have something to send emails and see the Quilting Board while away from home.

I have one and I really like it, but, that being said, it is wi fi only, no 3g or 4g. I hesitated getting it for that reason. But other than that I really like it.

No but you can get books cheaper and even free on Kindle Nation.com and pixelofink.com Nook can only download from BN. Kindle from amazon. I Have both and like the kindle best.

Being able to watch videos and look at quilt patterns IN MY QUILT ROOM is exactly why I am considering getting the Kindle Fire. I have a laptop and could do it there, but I think the smaller Fire would be preferable.

I just got mine about a month ago. I use it for downloads from the public library. Not going to pay more for a book than I would have to at half-price. I would like for them to get more craft books on line, then I will be totally happy.

I love my entry-level Kindle I got for C'mas, it is great to slide into my purse and have whenever I find a few minutes to spare. The websites someone posted recently, www/pixelofink.com and www.inspiredreads.com send an email every day with free downloads. I love my Kindle and the websites have become quite addictive.

I have the basic $139 Kindle and love it. There are thousands of free books and even more $1.00 books that change daily. It's easy to use and you can borrow from your local library for a week or two instead of driving there only to be told your book is out. I also love the ability to have it read for me as I go about my daily chores. My son bought the light cover for me so I won't disturb my hubby while reading at night.
