I bought this to replace my broken kindle keyboard. I was expecting this much newer model to be a big improvement over the previous models, but I was disappointed. This kindle has a hard plastic casing, which feels cheap, rather than the rubberized back of my old one. It was also thicker, and has more square edges. I find it difficult to hold in my hand, my hand will cramp up, so I have to switch it to the other hand. I also prefer the button method of turning pages, because I always manage to touch the screen with my hand. I also find that sometimes when I hit the area meant to turn the page back, it will turn it forward instead.
At this point, being a voracious reader, I don't think I could do without my kindle, I really missed it while waiting for the preordered kindle to come to me, but honestly, I wish I would have bought a different ereader. This is not a good design, and frankly, I'm disappointed in Amazon for not making this better.

I purchased this kindle about a month ago. In my case I wanted something that I could push technical PDFs to, and read books during my commute to/from work. So far this hasn't let me down. I've downloaded a number of books on it both through amazon and Baen books. No issues so far. The ability to push PDFs to the kindle has been absolutely wonderful for work. I can have a technical manual on my kindle and work in front of my computer without having to swap between windows.
For the commute its been great. I have read two novels on it. The only downside is sometimes I tap the screen to flip the page and the bus hits a bump causing me to double-tap the book, and it zoom ahead a lot of pages.
The best thing of all - this kindle uses the same charger as my: cellphone, daughter's cellphone, and son't kindle fire.

Good device, but sometimes it blacks out and I have to restart the whole system.

I was a little surprised at how easy to use this was. The first time I turned it on, it asked me a couple of questions and was ready to go within a few minutes.
Alright, it does not have the romance of a book. But then, it does not close on you unless you stick your thumb right into the spine. You can read it with just a thumb! And you can change the font and text size, and make the same book different when you get bored.
Very very useful! There are plenty of free books to last me a fairly long time.
I bought the Kindle with the warranty and have not yet bought a case. A 30$ case for a 70$ gadget, really??
BTW: PDFs dont work as well as books. But at least you can have them accessible on the device.

This device is worth every penny. Loving it since day one. Pain free highlighting and annotation. And what's more I received it a day after it was released without paying delivery charge. Nice one Amazon.

My first Kindle, I can see why they are so popular now!
Still haven't decided on whether to buy a case or not - most cases are $30 which is around 40% of the Kindle's cost...
Found it very easy to load books onto it using the "Send to Kindle" app

I am not very happy with the casing. It is a hard plastic and difficult to hold onto.

A little clumsy to figure out. Trying to get comfortable with it.
However, like the reading screen.
