Kindle Pros

Pros:

1. Downloading samples on the fly, a lot easier to browse titles while lounging in the comfort of my home, drinking my own homemade latte (much better than the cafe stuff)

Today I downloaded a ton of samples for my Ipod, MobiPocket and Kindle both have free downloadable samples. I also purchased a 33 cent comic book haha (after trying the sample of course).

2. It feels nice to hold

3. I love the buttons, they have hidden secrets

Alt T will show you the time

4. It can become a GPS

5. You can bookmark favorite web pages and go to them to check things on the fly

6. It stores a lot of stuff and you can look at it without having to boot up your computer

7. It is a lot nicer to wade through the pdfs that have to be read for research on this than having to print out hundreds of pages and sift through them to find out what you want to do.

8. The elastic band can be used on the lower right corner to keep the device in place

9. You can increase the font size (not image size though)

10. It's fun to play with, functional, and has a lot of potential that keeps me hoping for auto updates that will give me a feature to increase image to the full screen.

11. You can change justification once you are in the fonts size screen: Alt J

12. Minesweeper is Alt M

13. I like to pet the suede inside cover while I am reading.

14. If you click the next button the amount of times you want it will go to the page you want (22 clicks is to page 22) but that is a con too as would just assume have an arrange contents to left side (where it says sample--would like it to say 8282 class, 8383 class, Bibresearch, whatever I name my folders for the pdfs I need for classes.

15. There are a lot of free books out there!

All in all I love this device, would be great if it had a few more things like I know that the sony ereader lets you rotate, and the battery lasts longer, it also will increase the size of the image.
