Sure. Why not? Actually I put it off for a long time, but I really do like it.

LOL, I had to back up on that one. The Kindle has many more advantages than I realized. I even have several of my professional reference books and PDF research files on it. Much easier to carry around. And I have the Kindle app on my computers so materials are available to me at the click of a key. Sometimes I have to be drug, kicking and screaming, into the next century only to find I really like it when I get here.

You don't want to drop your Kindle in the bathtub!

Yes, I read these books. They were enjoyable quick reads for me. There's gonna be a movie. Should be interesting.

Does your kindle have free internet access? How is the coverage/speed?
I am considering getting a kindle because it could be used for googlemaps and gmail and such.

Only if you have wifi.
There's no app for googlemaps or gmail and such on kindle. Only few games and books that I know of so far.

Yep, free internet access and the speed is comparable to what I get on my laptop. I haven't encountered a problem with the coverage area.

Nope. I use email on mine as well. And I would consider 900,000 titles more than a "few" books. Also use mine for PDF documents and word documents.
And we're talking internet through a 3G network, not wi-fi, right?
There's no apps, but you can just go directly to the websites using the kindle browser...
You must have an older kindle, because my friend said he gets free 3G internet on his...

I am pretty sure it is only to order books with. Not like a browser. That's the one I have.
