Steve Bezos showed me his Kindle a year ago at Johns Hopkins Hospital at Wilmer where I am a nurse. I decided then to get one. I really like it very much and enjoy showing it to my friends. There is a problem with the case that comes with it. It is supposed to hold the Kindle in place for easy reading, but it doesn't. I am using the elastic band on the case to hold it. Also I wish a light was built into it. I find the page turning device to be a nuisance since I am constantly touching it by accident. This would be better if the case was improved. Otherwise I am delighted with it and wish I had gotten it sooner.
