Does anyone else have one of these? I got my kindle 2 a couple of weeks ago, I'm really reading much more than I used to. I reached a point where I could never get very far in a book- I'd try to read and would fall asleep (doesn't help that I tried to read at the end of the day).
This thing is so easy to read. I'm not sure why that is- if it's the ability to adjust the size of the font, or what. I've also been in a good part of a book when I head home from work, and set it on text-to-speech so it would read to me. Not as good as an audio book- sort of a robotic voice, kind of like your gps reading to you.
I'm getting a lot of the reading done at work, in the exercise room at lunchtime. The kindle fits perfectly in the reading rack on the elliptical machines and the recumbent cycles. It sort of motivates me to go to the exercise room so I can get some reading done- can't really read at my desk- even though the kindle doesn't look like a paperback book and I could probably get away with it.
I've bought two books at the 9.99 price but have downloaded about six others that were free or 10 cents.
When I was stuck in a waiting room recently, I had finished the book I was reading (the first one I finished), and right there I was able to go to the kindle store, find another book I'd read the free preview of, and download it and start reading while I was waiting.
Not getting to ride so much lately, but really enjoying this kindle!
