Title: More Than Expected
Product review: My husband and I each received a Kindle 2 as Christmas gifts. We travel extensively and knew we would find it handy for carrying 2 months' worth of books. What we weren't prepared for was using it to access the internet and check our email. Our recent trip to New Zealand proved how useful these features are. During a car trip I can use the Kindle where a laptop would not work. Hopefully, Amazon will continue to offer these features without fees.The Kindle still gets a lot of attention in airports, on planes, etc. The internet feature seems to be what sells it over other readers. A lady considering the purchase of an Ipad told me she would prefer the Kindle because of eyestrain from a backlit device and because the Ipad has a hefty monthly cost for internet.We've seen one drawback. Since our Kindles are always with us we are reading many more books. It's a chore to research new books to purchase. Oh, well, we can live with that.
