Kindle DX vs BN Nook Mar 15, 2010 I purchased the Kindle after returning the Nook I had received for Christmas. Top three reasons I like the kindle better than the Nook:
1. The Kindle can bookmark your place. Any time the Nook powered down I had to find my place in the book by 'thumbing' through it page by page... (the Nook didn't have a 'go to page' function, either.)
2. I like that I can hold the Kindle in portrait or landscape position and the text will shift to fill automatically.
3. Kindle can go weeks between charging, the Nook only lasted a couple of days per charge for me.
It's easy to use Mar 14, 2010 The concept of e-book its per se an great invent, and this Kindle has the perfect size to read any book, useful to study with 3 or 4 books in only one thin "book", and price of this equipment returns the money with the saving of papers and printer ink.
Just only two observations: I think that was more light, and is slow with large books, but are two things that will improve with time.
Congratulations with the idea!!

Kindle DX reader Mar 14, 2010 Received the unit in good shape and on time, as promised. Easy to setup (indeed it was already setup for me by the vendor. I was able to order books and get on with reading them within minutes after having the internal battery charged up. Great unit to own. No complaints so far.

I love it Mar 14, 2010 I love it. Download is seamless. I love getting subscriptions. As a book reader of diversified likes I love how easy it is to switch around from one item to the next and it always takes me to the page where I left off. It's a little heavy, but the larger format makes this very enjoyable to read. And now I can download the same items to my computer so books like Shakespear Complete Works is easier to get around. The fact that most books are cheaper then hardcopies and that I don't have to crate more bookshelf space is a plus. I can well imagine using this to determine if there are books I want to make a part of my permanent library.
I love that I don't have to worry about recycling magazines when I'm finished with them. I look forward to them adding more choices.
I found it intuitive to use and the print is the perfect size for my 60 year old eyes. I'm grateful my brother talked me into this purchase. I expect to enjoy this for many years to come. I look forward to the time they upgrade it to color.
