newbie to kindle [keyboard]
hi all
i was going to resist at all costs but i have finally succumbed and bought a kindle [keyboard] on ebay for myself; just waiting delivery but i have to admit i'm very excited!! i didnt realise it had a web browser, although a basic 'experimental' one at that, i was surprised has anyone else got the keyboard kindle? how do you get on with it? has it changed the way you read books? any feedback appreciated cheers kate36 |

I wouldn't get too excited about the browser, it's just about enough for occasional use, but it's not a wonderful experience ![]() I've got two, an original keyboard Kindle, and a Fire HD. |

They utterly change the way you read - you'll never go back to paper books once you've had a Kindle.

I've had mine a while now and love it - I wouldn't be without it and can have as many books as I like without having to try and find shelf space to put them. I usually download free books, either from Amazon or Smashwords, so it's not costing me too much either

i'd like to think i will still read proper books but its not always easy to get to the library and their fines are astronomical! i renew onine via the website and there was no record of it and they still made me pay the fines!!
![]() and their reservation fees are a shocker... nearly a pound now to reserve a book!!![]() no im not getting it as a tablet per se, i just like the idea of a keyboard and it has a speaker and can be used for audiobooks, and it only cost me £40 on ebay!! and its a uk seller!!will do until i can afford something smarter but will do nicely for now!! its coming with red case and charger

I do still read proper books as well, but really only when someone passes them on to me !
Edited to add : Mine has a red case as well
