Reading Device Kindle Reviews…

No Wireless Access Not A Problem

By: Luke

Thank you to all who have submitted reviews. I think I read every one before taking the plunge and ordering the Reading Device Kindle 2. I love it!

First, I bought it because I’m running out of room to store books and, second, I never buy hardbacks and have to wait until they come out in paperback. I don’t like reading hardback books and they’re expensive – problem is solved with the Reading Device Kindle.

Definitely get a cover, as the Reading Device Kindle 2 is slippery. I returned the Patagonia (cheap) and ordered the M-Edge Go, which I love.

The main reason I might have returned the Reading Device Kindle 2 is that, unfortunately, my rural home is not in the wireless coverage area, which I didn’t know until I tried. I can drive 20 minutes to find wireless access or download books to my computer and then to the Reading Device Kindle, which I thought would be a tremendous hassle, as my rural internet connection is agonizingly slow.

But, after taking the Reading Device Kindle on vacation and loving it, I thought I’d at least try the computer to Kindle download route. It’s very fast, as the files are small, and the transfer to the Reading Device Kindle was just as fast – whole process took about 3 minutes (and I have very slow internet access).

So if you are hesitating as I was because of not living in an area covered by the Reading Device Kindle wireless network, it’s not a problem!

I have to put in a complimentary word for the Kindle customer service people – they were very patient and answered all my questions – wonderful customer service!

Tested in Iraq

By: Billy E. Elkins

Last year, before being deployed to Iraq with the Army, I had a problem–I had limited space to pack books. The Reading Device Kindle(at the time K1) was the obvious solution. I was a little unsure how the Reading Device Kindle would hold up in the desert heat and sand, but I decided to go ahead and give it an unofficial field test. After my first few months in Iraq, I was so glad that I purchased it. I didn’t have whispernet access, but I did have (a very slow) satellite internet connection in my room. When I wanted to purchase a book I would log-on to Amazon, download the book to my computer, and transfer it to my Reading Device Kindle.

All of those steps took less than five minutes, even with a slow connection. I wish I could say that I made it home with my Reading Device Kindle, but on a bus in Kuwait, a week before I came home, I accidently sat on it–it didn’t survive. I do, however, plan to purchase another Reading Device Kindle sometime in the future. I would highly recommend the Reading Device Kindle to soldiers and civilian contractors working in Iraq or Afghanistan…just don’t sit on it.
