Why can’t a Kindle be made with a built in light so people can read in bed when their significant others are sleeping.
Thanks

My sister bought a Kindle before the price went down and still said it is the best money she’d ever spent. I have to agree with her. I purchased the Kindle for my self for Christmas on her recommendation and never looked back. My boyfriend is actually jealous of the time I spend reading. I had always promised myself that someday I would read the “classics” and now that I have the ability to carry up to 1500 titles, that is exactly what I have been doing. I can get most of them for nothing or next to nothing. Steinbeck, Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Austin to name a few. I also am able to receive all of the modern books I can read in no time at all and I am NEVER “between” or “out of” something to read. As an avid reader the Kindle will pay for itself in about 3 months with the savings on hard cover books. I also like the fact that no more trees have to be sacrificed for my enjoyment. I travel once a year to South Africa and the plane ride itself is pure torture. Whoever said “getting there is half the fun” never flew coach for thirty hours. This year I’m going to lose myself in the some of the best literature ever written along with a some of my new favorites, King, Koontz, Grafton, Brown to name a few of them. I’m so glad my boyfriend can swim because if the plane goes down and I can save only one thing, it will be my Kindle.

I am a very frequent traveller and I read a book a week on the planes. Kindle was my solution to buying the latest releases in hardcover. It is compact and does not take up a lot of space in my laptop case. My eye sight is also not as good as it once was, and the ability to increase the font is a plus for me.
The cost of books from Amazon is better than buying them at the airport. The fact that I can re-read a book when I am on the road as it is on the Kindle.
Dictionary is great, notations excellent.
I have not used the headphones yet so I cannot comment on that.
The negatives for me are –
1) There is no light source which surprised me. I expected that the Kindle to be designed with an illuminated background. Having to buy a clip on light is additional, having to clip the light on is a pain, not to mention an additional item to carry with me on travels. I chose not to read instead under those circumstances.
2) It would be nicer if the PGUP/DN button are softer. I find that I have to depress them quite a bit. A softer/lighter touch button would certainly be better.
3) I think the Kindle designers could have designed the screen panel to be maximized onto the unit itself. I bought the more compact global version. The keyboard takes up 1/3 of the unit. I do hardly use the keyboard. Perhaps the next generation can be a keyboard that only appears over the screen if a button is depressed. Now, wouldn’t that be cool!!
4) Something to know for GLobal purchasers which I didn’t know when I bought it. When buying Kindle books, the global version download usually costs more than if you bought it for the US version.
I also bought the Cole Haan leather cover. It simply simply luxurious!

I received this for Christmas and already I am hooked. It is pretty easy to operate. I purchased some books and that was a snap and it took just a minute. I love the ability to get a sample of the books so you can really tell if the book is something you would really like to try. The only down side I can see is that the screen is not backlit for reading in bed so I do not disturb my hubby, lol. I have notified all of my family and friends that I want Kindle books for all gifts. (I get a lot of books because I read alot). No more worring about where I am going to store all of my books! Can take it with me anywhere! LOVE IT!

Bought as a gift. Works great for the quick charge you would want, especially when traveling. My son says they work great.
