Kindle
#61
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 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 never thought I would like a Kindle, as I am an audiobook user. However, I am seriously thinking about a Kindle Fire, due to its laptop capabilities. I am starting to travel some, and its compact size looks attractive compared to my laptop. I would mainly like it for emails as I am traveling. I'm open to comments if my thinking is faulty?????? m

[I] had a regular Kindle received as a birthday gift from my son. This year I purchased the Kindle Fire as a gift to myself and just adore it. I can watch YouTube videos on quilting in my quilt room and follow along to say nothing of all the other neat features the the Fire has.

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.
