 Amazing October 16, 2008

I bought the Kindle for my granddaughter and she loves it. She had it for about nine months and the screen went blank, I called for service and I had a brand new one in 24 hours. I do wish the Kindle had school books, I think it would save on her back and we would never have a problem with a book being left at school when it is homework time.

I could not be happier with my Kindle. I carry it in my purse so any down time I have I can just pull it out and continue to read whatever book I'm reading at the time. I can not say enough about how easy and wonderful I find it.
However, I have a second issue to talk about. On Sunday I was reading and shut off my Kindle to go get coffee. I was gone doe about 20 minutes (I did other stuff, too). I came back and turned my Kindle on and it went crazy. All I could get was some lines (not word lines). The next day I called Kindle support. Believe it or not, I didn't have to sit on hold until I grew old. My call was picked up immediately and the guy I talked helped me to try a few things. Nothing worked so he said that he would send another one right out (usually means a rush of two weeks). The new one came the next day. He sent all instructions for the return of the old one by e-mail and also had a web site to print the label back (no charge to me). I wish the old one had not messed up but, we do live in a tech. society where things sometimes mess up. On top of all the reasons I have for loving my Kindle, knowing that someone is there to answer the phone if there's a problem shows a very all around great product.

Like "educational TV" Kindle has succumbed to presenting the essence of literary claptrap gleaned from book sales. Significant and serious books are not to be found. Market values are seldom right in literature. Is there no one serious at Kindle? The only redeeming quality is the availability of Gutenberg for down loading.
kindle is marketing fluff October 16, 2008

Kindle has been marketed as a "high resolution" black and white reader, but when you look at it, and actually look at the specifications for the resolution, it says 800 x 600. This is hardly high resolution. When someone says high resolution, I am thinking 1440 x 900 or WUXGA. 800 x 600 is what you would expect to find in the early 90s. The resolution is lame on the Kindle. Wait until Kindle 3.0 or Kindle 4.0 comes out.

The Kindle is a fantastic device. It allows me to travel with many more books than I would normally want to carry. I'm also able to select new titles while I'm on the road and not be at the mercy of the selection in the departure lounge. The Whisper net did not work in Europe or China but I was still able to download books to my computer and then add them to my Kindle that way. At home having all my books on the Kindle seriously cuts down on clutter. I'm really glad I bought it!
