I also have the iPod Touch with the Kindle app. I love it! I'm able to catch up on reading at times when I don't have my Kindle with me. It's one of my favorite apps.

Well, 'Webbing' on the Kindle may not be the "main purpose" but it is a MAIN purpose for others and myself or I would ot be paying the $360, and the fact is that currently it's free for that wireless and is just a HUGE reason for some of us who use…

I will just respectfully disagree. I have a ipod touch and can type quite easily on it, even enjoyable. I've read on it before but the screen is small, font, and strains the eyes. If it weren't for these facts I would be doing all my reading on the…

You'd search with a virtual keyboard that pops up instead? Those things are also universally hated, especially on the blackberry. Not that many iPod users have used their device for any serious book reading except for the ones who say they are Kind…

I agree completely. Can't wait for the touchscreen screen version so we can have that space and still search things on the kindle bookstore. Only a matter of time.

I didn't buy the Kindle to type - I bought it to read! If I want to type, I use my laptop or my big hunking desktop. The only thing I wish Amazon would do with the keyboard is take it completely off the device and either give us more page space or m…

Gail, Did you ever see my response? Did you try it? Did you get it replaced ? I think you still can, within the 1-year warranty.

My husband and I just bought Kindles in February. I'd be upset if the new one came out less than a year later. The DX I don't mind because I understand the need for a larger screened version, but to replace the brand new version already seems ridicu…

Amazon Kindle 3 Rumors Surface: Bigger, Better (Of Course ... The ink has barely dried on the new production Amazon Kindle 2 e-readers and now there's a hot rumor surfacing about the Kindle 3. www.fastcompany.com/blog/kit-eaton/technomix/amazon-kind

Where did you read this?

The smaller format appeals to me also. I'm all for Amazon continuing to upgrade - it can only make the platform better and add more users. If you like the Kindle 2 now, can't imagine that it won't be just as good in a year if you decide not to upgra…

If this is true I think I'd have to wait. I'm still feeling a little guilty about getting a Kindle 2 when our Kindle 1 is still as good as the day we bought it.

Gail, Call Amazon at 1-866-321-8851 Maybe take a picture of both of your screens at the same time, preferably in daylight without flash. But they're pretty good about replacements. Best when you're within 30-day warranty since you can return it,…

I prefer the K1 keyboard too. Not to mention the @ key !!! Even then I've learned to 'type' faster on it for some reason. But the DX one looks pretty nice. Not that I want such a big Kindle, actually.
May 15, 2009
I haven't seen a Kindle1 so I'm not able to compare. I love my 2. I was impressed by the clarity of the screen. I use reading glasses or contacts, maybe that helps in some way. I have used a little clip on light at night but find I'm always distract…

Hi Gail. If you like to read--my novel CROSSROADS is now available. It is an international action thriller (espionage/paranormal) based on several actual events. The novel is in the E-book format (Fictionwise, Ereader, etc) and it will be soon in Print too. It can be ordered through my website http://www.SNEDELTON.com. Several reviewers rated it as very good.
My next thriller, The Raven Affair, should be published in the Fall.
Thanks for your interest.
Steven
