I am usually not one of those who want to get their hands on every new techno gadget that comes in the market and then brag about it :).But I have been enjoying my Kindle a lot and wanted to describe it briefly here in case if any of you is interested in buying. ( I am writing this for the plain kindle I have, there is Kindle2 and Kindle fire in market but I will not comment on them as i have not used them. Specially Kindle fire has been called a competitor to IPad and is much more than a book reader.)

OK, So Kindle is a must for all those who love reading like myself. It gives you a world of books in this small handy device without having to carry around the heavy books everywhere and of course there are no space issues as to where to keep saving all those books which you buy, specially for people living in apartments:). The one I got is available at a very reasonable price now and is approximately 7.5″ by 4.9″,smaller than an average book and lighter too. You will definitely need a case for it, I bought the one with a light from Amazon and it helps me to read easily at night, it has become one of my favorite accessory to take everywhere I go. You can get most of the books in Kindle form now from Amazon and even if it not available in Kindle format yet, you can send a request to make it available for Kindle. There is one thing that I feel lacking is the support for PDF files, all PDF files open as graphic images and there is not much you can do to enhance the visibility specially if you want to read something in a language other than English, I tried but the visibility is not good enough. However, most of the PDF files in English open up easily and the visibility becomes much better if you are reading horizontally. I recently found Sahih Bukhari in English in PDF and reading it is so easy on the kindle, so I am loving the Kindle for that. I also downloaded the Arabic Quran with English translation in PDF on kindle but the Arabic again is a bit blurry and you are worried about reading a word incorrectly but the English translation is very good and clear. The charging lasts for a long time and it’s very easy to download books. Of course, you will miss the beautiful colored pictures on the title of each book, that divine smell which comes from every new book and the pride you feel when you look at your collection of all the beautiful books you have read so far but once you start reading a book and its good you will forget if you are reading it on Kindle or a paperback. In my opinion buying Kindle is money well-spent for all book readers.
