Amazon owes Kevin some free books

[PeterPan09]

I just ordered the Kindle, based in large part on Kevin's recommedation and the links he posted to reviews and discussions of the Kindle and the Nook.

How many Podcast listeners have done the same? You'd think they'd at least send him a few free books for all that $$ he's bringing in.

I asked for one for Christmas based on the rave reviews from Kevin, we will soon see if I get it!

I enjoy sharing information when something is very good or very bad.

There is a lot of mis-information out there and I think it helps to hear from others what experiences they have had.

I think the Kindle is an amazing product and Amazon has a great 30 day "no questions asked" refund policy.

In my opinion, that's a "win - win" situation.

I hope you both enjoy your new Kindles.

Interested in UK peeps reviews I noticed that Lee Cockerell's book on Kindle is not available for UK download.
Any other notable restrictions ?

I didn't realize that I could IMMEDIATELY start ordering books that will be downloaded to the Kindle before it even arrives!!
I have a reading list already!!!

Hi Reid,

I know that this has something to do with publishing rights and the different laws in different countries.

While Lee was here, he was telling us that his book was available in 10 languages....but we didnt discuss digital rights or publishing.

You might find some info on the Kindle discussion forums.

They can be found here:

The forums have recently gotten an awesome search function...just in case you dont see the information you're looking for or want other opinions.

I finally gave in and ordered a Kindle yesterday. Should be here tomorrow. It's a X-mas present to myself

After listening to Kevin talk about it, I did some research on my own and figured I would bite the bullet - so to speak

I'm am avid reader spending about $60 dollars a month on books and no way to store them anymore. Some books I keep because I like to re-read them.

I can't wait to get the Kindle in my hot little hands. I already downloaded the PC app as well as the Iphone app to at least familiarize myself. Already purchased 1 book to see if I like the Kindle when it arrives.

Merry X-mas to me....

I did the same thing. It's been a CRAPPY year and I wanted to give myself a special Christmas present for surviving it with at least some of my sanity intact.

Mine should be here Thursday, it already has 5 books on it ready for me to start reading!! (those free titles are COOL)

Ok, we really need to get after Jeff at Amazon about a cut for Kevin!!

My kindle is in Delaware now....I expect to obsessively watch it's progress until the little brown truck arrives at my house.

I'm excited for you all getting a new Kindle.

I have something else to share.

After spending what amounts to a small fortune on book lights and being disappointed, I have finally found one that I think might be perfect.

My newest acquisition is a Mighty Bright book light.

They can be found here:

http://www.mightybright.com/

I tried the flexible neck light, but ended up not liking it.

Ot's ok as long as you sit in one position. If you shift, the light moves in the direction the cable holding it up is wound.. I found myself holding the kindle in one hand and holding the light with the other..

My favorite can be seen here:

I hope you find my extensive research helpful.

Amazon, Oberon and this Mighty Bright company sure should!

Can I ask why you need a book light though? Is the Kindle harder to read in normal light than a regular book?

You do realize that some of this isnt about you.....right?

The Kindle is very much like a book in that you will need external lighting in low lighting situations.

Sinece my eye surgeries and because I read in bed frequently....I need a book light so as not to annoy anyone (ok...John).

Lol I wanted to see what it felt like to be narcissistic. Experiment complete. I don't like it. Lol

Ok, that makes sense. I remembered that it wasn't backlit, so when you mentioned the light I thought maybe it needed more than standard lighting.
