Title: Nice idea but I sent it back after only two hours...
Product review: The idea and concept of the Kindle is great. It's fast and I like many of the features but I sent it back after only a few hours. The reason? It's very hard to read. It has black lettering on a gray background. In low light - forget about it. It's necessary to use it in a well lighted area. I called tech support and they said there was no back lighting option or ways to lighten the gray background. It's funny; I picked up a paperback I had on my desk - black lettering on WHITE paper. I picked up a USA Today, black lettering, WHITE paper. Why on Earth Kindle would have a gray background is beyond me. I'll save $260 bucks and wait for the proper design to be manufactured.
