Here are some of the customer review

Ease of use: ''I couldn't believe just how easy it was to download books. It already had my details stored on one-click, all i had to do was add my wifi password and that was it. Just went to the kindle store and chose a book and pushed the button. That was it. by the time i clicked home, the book was all ready for me to read. So ridiculously simple it shouldn't be allowed. The speed of downloads was exceptional. No hassles, no hold-ups. Nothing.

Readability: ''Again never having used any other device before i was unsure what to expect. The text was clear and crisp. The font perfectly sized. I fiddled around with the font and spacing settings and realised that the default font is the best. The turn page button is in the right place. At first i was hoping it would be lower as my thumb was too lazy to move the required half an inch upwards to turn the page, then i realised it was deliberately set like that so that there would be no "accidental" page turns. I like the fact there are no other unneceasary buttons on the side''.

''..This is amazing. It's not colour, it's not touch-senstitive, it doesn't have a proximity or orientation sensor. But it displays books in a way that we haven't seen since, well, the advent of paper. The ease of browsing for books, magazines and papers (a topic I didn't cover today) within the device is unsurpassed. I real-life compared this to the iPad and I much (well, "much, much, much") preferred the Kindle. The iPad is bigger and more colourful, but the Kindle is easier to read which is, to be totally honest, the whole point....''
