Review of the Amazon Kindle

Overall Ranking: 10/10

This Christmas I succumb to pressure and purchase a Kindle. First thoughts

The Good

• The clarity is superb
• The Kindle screen increases readability slightly compared to the printed page
• The Kindle page is slightly smaller than an ordinary paperback page. This was nice actually.
• The software is intuitive
• It arrives pre-setup for the most part
• Taking notes is quite easy and easy to review
• The dictionary feature is wonderful
  

The Bad

• It is far too easy to purchase books accidentally. The purchases are reversible
  
• They should include a cover and light as accessories. Those two items are essential to the safe operating of the Kindle (the cover anyway) and are not included with the Kindle.

On the whole, the Kindle is wonderful and I reccomend it to everyone.
