Pros Well thought out and capable
Cons Expensive to buy and to populate
Recommended it? Yes

Think of most anything invented in the 15th century and you will find it outdated and supplanted by something invented later. But one invention of that era has only been improved on slightly and perfected. That is the printed book. It is a technology just as germane to today's computer and internet... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Have you ever thought about how much environmental impact there is in the production of a book? Few people do. First and foremost, books are made from paper, and paper comes from trees. True, many books today are made from recycled content, but there still must be some fresh pulp used, and even... Read full review »

Judging a Book With No Cover

Pros Sleek design, excellent wireless capabilities, Amazon's huge book selection
Cons Very expensive, a few ergonomic quirks, frequently awkward software
Recommended it? Yes

Over the last few years, my life has grown increasingly virtual.  My huge music collection, once proudly displayed in racks, now exists inside a five-ounce mp3 player.  The discs have been shoved into a Case Logic folder and hidden away.  I have already begun holding off on DVD purchases, electing...

Kindling Disappointment

byPirich Jan 3, 2010

Pros Light weight.
Cons Expensive, frequent freezes, slow response, no security, clunky interface, poor display.
Recommended it? No

I got the Amazon Kindle 2 as a gift, and was eager to use the device.  However, the more I used it, it quickly became apparent it was more of a mechanism to drive sales than the means for me to have any book I could want with me at all times in an easily readable format.  The electronic...

Recommended it? Yes

I received a Kindle 2 as a gift recently. I'd had my eye on the Kindle since its launch, but couldn't justify the high price tag ($359). I use several forms of portable technology including a touchscreen smartphone, but the Kindle 2 was my first eBook reader. Opening the Kindle 2 was an experience:... Read full review »

I'm overall impressed with the new version of Amazon's book reader the Kindle 2.  It works well for reading book content and the interface stays out of your way, preventing interference with your reading experience.  I'll admit, I bought the new Kindle because I was intrigued by the new E-Ink...

I own a Kindle 2 for two reasons.  First, it was a "Christmas gift" from my wife--even though I told her I really didn't want one, especially at $359 a pop.

"But you're always buying books," she argued, citing my recent purchases of all twenty of Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey/Stephen... Read full review »

Pros design, portability, convenience
Cons price, not all books are available on Kindle

I was an early adopter of the original Kindle and I ordered the K2 the day they made the pre-orders available. The Kindle is an amazing device that offers so much convenience that I have come to wonder how I ever lived without it. Mine arrived on February 24th and was a day earlier than expected. I...
