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.

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.

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.

Let's start with the good stuff - it does what it is supposed to do. It works, I can transfer my e-books, I can read what I want to read, mostly how I want to read it. But, it is a perfect example as well for what is NOT progress: I miss my old, near-first generation Kindle that survived about 4 years (we had four in our house, and mine survived the longest). First, the feel of the previous one: the plastic was higher quality and had a nicer feel. The current one is glossy, easily scratched after only 2 months of use. It is thicker. Yes, it is touch-pad, but that is not better: there really isn't much that an e-reader has to do; so navigating with just a few buttons is actually preferable. The most frustrating part about this one is that because of the touch, I keep getting unwanted interruptions due to hitting the 'fonts' screen involuntarily and I always have to set it back to my preferred size - and I haven't yet discovered a way to lock my favorite font in. So Amazon, I hope this one at least is at least as durable, although I doubt it. It is not progress. But it works.

I would have given a 4 and 1/2 but there was no rating as such. The only complaint I have so far with my third Kindle is that the glare free screen...is not ! I find I have to hold the kindle at acute angles to prevent flares on the screen from windows and lights behind me. . Otherwise, it fits in quite nicely with my original gen 2 kindle and my paperwhite.(which has no glare at all, incidentally )
