Cooo eee - just popping my head around the door to say Hello. My kindle is just a couple of weeks old, hoping to get a lighted jacket for it soon.

silverfrog · 14/03/2011 13:40

hello!

how exciting - a new topic Smile

I have a Kindle WiFi (dh has the 3g version) - with a red cover. currently light-less, but it has started freezing up on me a bit, so I might get onto Amazon about that...

RoundOrangeHead · 14/03/2011 13:51

silverfrog, there is a known problem with the unlighted covers

Amazon will upgrade it free

silverfrog · 14/03/2011 13:57

thanks, RoundOrangeHead Smile

I wasn't having any issues with mine, and prefer it (slightly thinner/lighter than the lighted ones) so hadn't bothered doing anything about it.

but it has recently been buggering about a bit (freezing/restartign my kindle etc) so I guess the time has come to make the switch!

AliciaFlorrick · 14/03/2011 21:47

My Kindle is only about three weeks old but it's the best thing DH has ever bought me it's the wifi/3G version with a beautiful purple cover.

hairtwiddler · 14/03/2011 21:53

Marking place. Read four books on my kindle. Love it. Have cover envy as bought cheapy fake leather purple one on ebay.about to start 'One Day' by David Nicholls for my book club.
Love the free samples you can get. Very handy.

SnapFrakkleAndPop · 15/03/2011 05:55

Kiiiindle. I love it. A lot.

I just keep hoping more stuff will be available for it soon in terms of magazines etc.

Wifi/3G for me.

jacksgrannie · 15/03/2011 20:58

Another besotted Kindle owner here. Actually this is the second one. First one was left in the airport when on holiday in the Far East - disaster, especially when facing an 11 hour flight.

The insurance coughed up very quickly (thanks Aviva) and I bought an exact replica Kindle (WiFi), red leather cover with light, a couple of weeks ago. When I set up the replacement Kindle, there was a message on the Home Page saying that Amazon had noticed I had bought a second Kindle and would I like to transfer all my books on my (sadly lost) Kindly to my new one. It was a matter of moments to transfer them all. Brilliant.

Must dash - Silk just starting.

Geeky grandma here -read mainly non-fiction on my wi- fi only Kindle with its dark chocolate (mmm..) brown lighted cover Grin

musicposy · 16/03/2011 18:06

I love my kindle and am excited about this topic! I've read loads of classics I never would have on account of them being free. :)

My cover is OK - fake leather on off ebay in pink, but I envy other people's! No light - I just make the text super-big!!!
