Kindle ?

Anyone have a Kindle? Any reviews? Good? Bad?

My mom's birthday is coming up and I'm trying to come up with a gift idea. I thought getting her a Kindle might be good. She's loves reading and I know that she'd appreciate carrying the smaller kindle around with her instead of a huge book (she prefers hardback books to paperbooks).  I'm not entirely sure she would embrace it, but I thought if there was enough positive response from people who actually have one that I might just get her one.

And yes, I have read the reviews on Amazon, but I was hoping to hear from people closer to home.

 Thanks!

Re: Kindle ?

  • I have no personal experience, but my SIL is an avid reader and she had the Kindle but ended up selling it on Ebay and buying an iPad. She loves the fact that she can do more than just read on it and when she is reading she said she likes the iPad better than the Kindle.

  • Thanks for your reply. I ended up getting my mom the wi-fi Kindle. Her birthday is next week, so I'll just have to wait to see if she'll like it! I wanted to stay way from the iPad for my mom - she has bad eyes and staring at computer screens for too long hurt her eyes. I'm hoping that since the Kindle screen is different she won't have any issues.
