  • You thought wrong

  • The first generation has an SD slot. Version 2 has more memory and the ability to offload books onto your pc.

  • I thought that it DOES have an SD slot

  • I LOVE MINE!

  • incorrect.

    modern lithium batteries last a good 4, 5 years, plus if they aren't easily removable, the device is thinner & more reliable.

    you can replace any iPod battery for less than $15, they are not engineered to make you buy a new one, that's absurd... they are built that way to keep them small and thin.

    now you know!

  • I think the Kindle 1 was easy to navigate but then I have slender hands-- I imagine it might be different for a guy. I never had any complaints at all about the buttons, on/off switches, scrolling or holding it-- it worked perfectly for me--the new one will take time to adjust to--I'm keeping both, and I hope the Kindle 3 comes out by next January.

  • I love the scroll wheel on my Kindle 1 , I don't like the fact that my new Kindle is larger and heavier. I like being able to remove the battery, the computer voice on the Kindle 2 is not as annoying as I imagined. The device pays for itself very quickly-- I will save over $400 on books, newspapers and magazines in just six months time. This is not a device for the occasional reader.

  • I don't believe its a tough sale. Because its new technology and anyone interested by new technology knows the price they will have to pay to be the first one to grab one. The Kindle 1 is on EBay now for $200 and its a fine player.

  • Amazon is trying to imitate Apple.

    No removable battery just like the Ipod.

    Engineered to make you buy the new model instead of repairing the old one.
