Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Less

Have you ever thought about how much environmental impact there is in the production of a book? Few people do. First and foremost, books are made from paper, and paper comes from trees.

I have researched and thought about buying an eReader for some time now, and had just about convinced myself that I was going to buy a Nook when I came into possession of a PRS-600 by unfortunate circumstances.
