Did Santa bring anyone a kindle for Christmas? I want to buy one before I come over to live and just wondered if anyone has had any problems downloading new books on either the wireless or 3G version? Have been told might not work in N Cyprus:( Lots of people in Uk have recommended it, but how easy/hard for the technology challenged(me) to understand. Any advice offered would be welcomed thank you

Waterstones had these for sale, why dont you go in there and ask all these questions, they also had a Sony version for sale.

Kindle is no good if, like me, you download books from a UK local library. Kent County Council allows this.

The kindle is great bought my missus one and she loves it, very easy to use and down load books, will also handle most types of e-book formats.

My friends came for a weeks holiday with their Kindle .Down loaded a book from the Kindle store in 30 seconds and the next day the Telegraph news paper which only cost £1.49.

My wife and I now have one each on one account so books are readable on both Kindles.

Best thing ever. Very long battery life only charged once since first of Dec.
