I never thought I would cave and buy an e-reader until last year. Hubby purchased a Nook for me but it was top-heavy and I exchanged it for the Nook Color. It was pretty cool to be able to "borrow" books from the local library from the comfort of my couch, but I had to constantly charge the battery. I bought my used Kindle on e-Bay in August. I haven't touched my Nook Color since. The Kindle is light, easy to use and has amazing battery life. I still love the feel and scent of a book in my hands, but as another reviewer said, it's an awesome thing to carry a whole "library" with you! Love it! Wish I could hug the neck of the guy who sold it to me!
I have been reluctant to change from my much beloved paper and ink books, but this is so convenient and so light weight with so many free books available that I'm sold! I prefer a keyboard to a touchscreen, so I bought this one. Registration with Amazon was easy, the reader looks nearly new and works perfectly, even the 3G. I am amazed at how many free books are out there. The battery life is pretty good, although not quite as long as I had hoped. The battery may need replacement eventually, but they are available at a reasonable cost. I only use the Kindle to read and use the wi-fi/3G only to download books (turning it off greatly increases time between recharges), but if that's what you are looking for, this is a great product.

I like the older Kindle because it has larger font. The key board has numbers at the top instead of having to use a key to select symbols. The control keys are large and easy to use. The joy stick is a little tricky to use if you have large fingers. Still the Kindle is the best way to keep a large amount of books in a very small space. Overall I would highly recommend this product to anyone who loves to read on the go or anytime. With free internet access and Wi-Fi it has the ability to connect to your book purchases anywhere you go!
This older generation Kindle has everything I want and nothing I don't! The screen is similar to the Kindle Paperwhite (which I also own), meaning I can read it outside in bright sunlight. It isn't backlit, but I have a sufficient supply of lighting in my home and most other places I read. I bought one that looks like it has never been used. Aside from an initial set-up snag - which was easily fixed by resetting the device - I have had no trouble with it whatsoever. I LOVE IT!!!
