    I am going to be living abroad for almost an entire year and really enjoy reading, however books are heavy to pack or to be shipped! This would be the perfect way for me to continue reading as I travel the world. And easier to pack! haha

    I’d love one but the price is a bit too steep for me

  • Ilin

    I’d love a lower price, higher resolution for reading manga and possibly a color screen. I want to buy a reader now, I currently do not own one.

  • Jason Zuehlke

    So, I already have a Nook Color.  The Kindle would be nice.  The only reason I bought the Nook was because of the browser, apps, and color.  Never mind, what’s the point of the Kindle? (jk, I’ll more than happily accept a free Kindle)

  • Sarah

    I currently read books on my Android phone through the kindle app. I would love my own real Kindle as I would love to be able to read in the sunshine. Price does matter to me also.PO

    Sorry….. I tried to fix my incorrect email address and my phone accidentally posted instead.

    Price is the most important factor for me, because I’m only 15 and can’t get a job yet. I would love to win the Kindle for my sister who just graduated high school. She loves to read and I know how much she wants a Kindle, but we just can’t afford it. It would mean a lot to me to be able to give her one as a gift if I won this contest. I know she would use it everyday.

    The size/weight is the first thing I look for which the Kindle has that won. The next thing I look for is the display. I went through a few e-readers when I started and I am sure the clerks were getting tired of seeing me in line to return them. The Kindle had the best display for reading but at the time I wanted one that I could try to hack into an android tablet. I bought the Pandigital Novel and hacked/flashed it several times. I just couldn’t decide on which hack I liked the best. Well the bad news is I hacked one too many times and it stuck on one of the worst versions there was. My professor wasn’t even able to help me fix this. (Kind of sad when your grandma destroys her e-reader trying to hack it into an android tablet, huh?) So the third most important would be the price but I wouldn’t mind paying for quality.

  • Fayvilleja

    the ability to carry 1000’s of books in such a tiny package

  • Sue Schleif

    it will inspire my child to read more over the summer and easy to use.

  • Laura

    Have the Kindle app on my pc and droid. Would LOVE an actual Kindle. The best thing I can think of is if it would let you share books with your friends – for about a month!

  • Fbellizzi

    I would enjoy being able to carry 1,000 books to read at my leasure. Color would be a nice edition to next version of Kindle.

  • Cindy

    I’ve tried computer-based ebook readers, but would prefer the portability of a Kindle.  A feature I’d like to see in e-books is the ability to download any type of e-book from public libraries.

  • Rrjnlee

    The screen pixel size of 1024×768 is the most important as this is the standard page used by PDF and many documents.

  • Matt

    I like the ability to make notes and to easily look up words. Easily looking back at important passages or quotes is a big step forward in my opinion.

  • mr.Home

    I never win anything that I enter.

  • Hailey L.

    I just decided at the beginning of the week (after much research) that a Kindle was the eReader I wanted. I love how small it is and I love having thousands of books all in one place. Fingers crossed that I win! :-)

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KD6U47XAQ3WIG5D3CX2GTTNHNE Q

    Price is a consideration for any e-reader, but if I could share books with family and friends it would definitely sway my purchase.

  • Sabrina

    To have thousands of books all in the palm of your hand? That’s serious shiz. I love it. Please no more carrying around the ridiculously heavy biochemistry textbooks!!!

    I really like the experimental features that are not on other platforms, It’s great to have the kindle read to me when my hands are full.

  • Jacqueline in Atlanta

    I think the #1 determiner would be how does it look in the sunshine? I have a great digital camera (Kodak easyshare) but the dang thing’s screen is useless in full sun, even though it takes great pics in full sun – go figure. #2 would be that it should be internet capable. If I am going to be using a gadget, I should not have to put it away and get out my iphone or my ipad to get on the net when I have something in my hands that looks a lot like an internet capable device, ya know?

    Thanks for having the giveaway. Great prize!

  • Jacqueline in Atlanta

    Oh come on, Hon. You gotta appreciate that degree! :)

  • http://twitter.com/notyoutoo Darryl Lee

    The biggest features would be price and availability of the books I want to read. Thanks!

  • Scott P.

    I try to read as much as I can; and me hitting the big 4-0 this year, I’ve considered a
    Kindle for one reason-it’s hard for me to read a book on an iPod. Right now an e-reader is out of my expense allowances(being on disability with a fixed income); also I wouldn’t have to worry about getting back and forth to the local decent(about 20 miles away) library with fuel prices the way they are.

    As the owner of thousands of books (literally –worked in a bookstore all my life), I would love to be able to sell off some and get ebook versions to save space.

  • Alice Iu

    How well each page transitions is important, and how clear the ink for b&w is when reading. I’ve seen some readers that when you click to change the page, the ink scrambles around for too long before it “finishes loading”. Also, how much is weighs is important too, sometimes I read for a very long time straight and anything heavy would hurt!

  • Kta

     I haven’t wanted a kindle because it didn’t work with overdrive book downloads from the public library. Amazon has promised to change that sometime this year, so I’m reconsidering.

  • Jerry Dziuba

    For me it’s a price vs. additional features. Not always just the lowest price.

  • Hejeble

    For me, the physical design is an important factor. It has to be sleek and have a good feeling in my hand. Support for all of the ebook formats is also a high priority.

  • Minta

    I would love to win a Kindle..the biggest features would be price and battery power..Thanks for the chance to win.

    I would love to win a kindle, thank you for giving me the opportunity to enter the contest. God bless.

    I prefer the no glare look of the Kindle.  The ability to change the font size and I prefer working with Amazon as opposed to other companies.
