Amazon Kindle DX 1st Generation Handheld

I RECEIVED THE KINDLE AS A BIRTHDAY/CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM MY FAMILY-AT FIRST I THOUGHT OH NO THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE AS I DID NOT THINK I WOULD ENJOY THIS. I AM A BIG READER BUT I DID NOT THINK THAT THIS MACHINE WAS WORTH ALL THAT. BUT I HAVE TO SAY I REALLY DO LIKE IT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS IT DOES-WORD DEFINATIONS --HIGHLIGHT MAKE NOTES--YOU CAN GET A NEW RELEASE BOOK WITHOUT EVEN LEAVING YOUR HOUSE AND THE BOOKS ARE NOT AS PRICEY WHEN BUYING THEM FOR THE KINDLE--THERE ARE SEVERAL FREE BOOKS AVAILABLE. WHEN I TRAVEL I NORMALLY TAKE ABOUT 20 BOOKS TO READ WITH ME IT WILL BE SO NICE TO JUST GRAB MY KINDLE AND GO THIS HOLDS SO MANY BOOKS ITS ALL I WILL NEED-YOU CAN ALSO SHARE YOUR BOOKS WITH OTHER KINDLE OWNERS--OVERALL THIS IS PRICEY BUT A GREAT ITEM IF YOU ARE A READER AND DO NOT MIND NOT HAVING YOUR BOOKS IN HARD COPY. IT MADE A BELIEVER OUT OF ME THAT IT IS A NICE PRODUCT
