Candle smells great. It's small, but I knew that going in with the dimensions. I'm impressed at how quickly it fills the room with it's fresh smell - literally 30 seconds after lighting it, you can smell it across the room. it's a powerhouse of a candle.

I would definitely buy again, may add a few to my Christmas list.

Definitely on the list of one of my best Amazon purchases. Works great! the 3m adhesive on the back will not adhere properly to leather or any not perfectly smooth and hard surface but I placed it on a smooth plastic portion of the dash and it is holding perfectly. It should adhere just as well or a wood surface too. Definitely recommend this mount. It's holding my iPhone 7 plus with a bulky case without any problems. Have not tested it with an iPad yet but based on how hard it holds the iPhone I'm sure it will do just fine with the weight of the iPad.

I ordered the Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook on 8/10/2012. Amazon actually did a great job getting this out the door and I received it two days later.

Out of box experience is excellent.  Samsung has done a great job of packaging and presentation.  Got the laptop out of the box, plugged in, and set-up in about 10 minutes.

Overall, this is a beautiful machine.  Fit and finish are top-notch.  For a 13-inch screen, this thing has amazing resolution.  It is super-thin and weighs next to nothing.  The case is beautiful and the hinges and display feel very solid.

The 128-GB SSD is remarkably fast.  And, if you want to use most of that capacity, there is any easy way to eliminate the recovery partition for full capacity.

I read many of the reviews that talked about issues with the ELAN touchpad and it is evident.  HOWEVER, here is my impression:

- The touchpad does get jittery and nearly un-useable, but ONLY when the laptop is plugged into A/C power.  This appears to be some level of 'noise' that is created that affects the touchpad.  WORKS FINE ON BATTERY.

-  Not all A/C power creates this issue.  Therefore, it is likely only evident when you are plugged into a noisy circuit.  In one location of my house, there was an issue.  In another, there was no issue.

- A quick way to resolve this is to use a surge protector, where there is a basic level of line conditioning which removes the electrical noise.

- Use of an external USB or Bluetooth mouse is an option, which I usually use.

- If using an external mouse, there is a very convenient function (FN+F5) that turns off the touchpad to eliminate annoying wandering mouse issues when typing.

Enough about the touchpad!

Overall, this is a slim, high-performing (for an Ultrabook) machine.  I have done some video editing on the machine and while final rendering does take a while, it is reasonably equipped to do this stuff.

This would probably get 5 stars if it weren't for the touchpad snafu.

I know some may see that I am giving this phone 5 stars and immediately ignore this as I know the fire phone has come under a barrage of bad reviews and publicity. I waited until recently to pick up this phone, first because my upgrade from AT&T wasn't available yet, and secondly because I hadnt quite decided if I wanted to buy it yet. I have now had the phone for a little while, and I have to say that overall, I love this phone.

Before this, I was almost strictly with iPhone's, but I have been a strong Amazon supporter since the begining. I was already aware of the application limitations that many complain about, but I point out that the kindle IOS (on the fire as well) runs off of a modified Andriod IOS. This means that while you do lose the google support, you can actually sideload the apps you really want that aren't available on the Amazon appstore, and you still retain the Amazon assistance, which is quite substantial in itself.

The battery life of the phone isn't that great, but the fire phone comes with several capabilities, including the ability to actually determine what specifically is draining your battery life. Dynamic perspective is awesome to use, but if you aren't needing it you can shut it off and that by itself helps conserve battery life. Plus, lets face it people, unless you modify your phone or buy an extended battery/case, most smart phones require an additional charge each day regardless of who made it, plus this phone lasts as long as its competetor's models with it being a 1st generation.

For those that complain about the music factor, again you can import music from itunes, or any other music program, plus if you have Amazon prime, you have access to Amazon Music, which is as cheap as it is on itunes, plus some of its free with Prime. You cant beat free.

Firefly is the first of its kind identifying software, capable of identifying songs, shows, and almost anything, with also taking away having to manually type things in for better ease of service. With upgrades to that particular software down the road, who knows what the capabilities are? I look forward to the development of that particular piece of software.

I know I already touched on the draining power of dynamic perspective, but the actual capabilities of the software are impressive and neat. It unclutters the screen in some cases, and games designed with dynamic perspective add a new element that make it overall more fun to play with.

While the initial cost of the fire phone wasn't that great, the current cost of the phone isn't bad, and when you factor in you can now buy it unlocked AND that it still comes with a year's subscription to Amazon Prime, you really cant beat it.

There is bad things about this phone. I won't deny that, but you will find problems with *any* brand of phone out there. No one brand is tailored to meet everyone's needs. For those that are heavy Amazon consumer's though, this phone is perfect. Yes, I have issues here and there with the phone, but not any that either I cant figure out how to overcome (battery life and availability of apps) or that I probably wouldnt have found in another phone anyway. I love my Fire Phone, and look forward to the Generation 2 model.

It surprises me not in the least that so many prefer Amazon's Hollywood treatment over the book. It gives what people crave; an easily understood plot, clear heroes and villains, a smattering of gratuitous violence, a virtuous female protagonist, and a satisfying ending where chaste characters with a smoldering love interest find some form of redemption. I can't understand why they didn't simply choose another title and make a few minor changes instead of driving a stake through the heart of PKD's masterful tale. The movie did have superb acting as well as top notch production values.  Tasty and enticing. Surely the ambiguity of the book is a hard pill to swallow for those with a need to *instantly* understand a story and feel adequately entertained. For those reading the book it certainly helps to have some historical understanding so as avoid confusion. It also helps to have some cultural understanding and to not react negatively due to personal lack of intellectual depth. Mr. Dick had an amazing amount of insight and a genius for weaving a very complicated tale with mastery. This is not weak minded fluff.

Amazon for this particular game had the best deal. In fact it was $15 less than all the other vendors were charging for the online download. Steam didn't carry BF3 which would have been my first choice, gamestop and all the other online vendors at the time of purchase were charging $15 more than what amazon had on the cover price. I don't know how amazon pulled it off, but they leveraged the price well to it's advantage. I downloaded this product through amazon's webstore through my comcast Xnfinity connection which had a 25 Mbs bandwidth down stream and it took amazon's server about two hours to complete the download. The game installed, registered and updated on EA Art's BF3 server without a hitch and I was playing the game roughly three hours after purchase. The reviewer is still looking for squad mates for battle field 3. Please add me up on Origin, JakeCastleUSA with Squad Name PNOY.

I chose this rating to leave room for improvement and I would definitely recommend amazon video to others and continue watching.

This vacuum is amazing! The design is expertly crafted; each piece is lightweight yet durable, the parts fit with each other well, and I imagine this high-powered vacuum will last for years to come. You cannot go wrong with this vacuum; it is high quality and very worth its price.

Why only 4 stars instead of 5? Normally, Amazon offers amazing prices for most products. However, I found this item at CostCo for $60 cheaper ($119.99 instead of $179.99), which is a pretty substantial reduction, so be sure to be on the look out for that.

This is really a fabulous product.  Bezos is a genius.  If you can read this, you can learn to operate most of its features in seconds without even poking your metaphorical nose into the built-in user's guide.  The text is crystal clear and as readable as the very best printed text.  The ability to change the text size over a wide range of sizes without changing the sharpness of the text makes this product accessible to all ages and degrees of visual acuity.  With the cover, the size, shape, weight and feel of the device is like a thin paperback novel.  Even without adding an SD card, the device can hold about 200 books, so one could keep one's entire library on the Kindle and never have to hunt for a physical book again.

It took less than 10 min to charge the battery.  I thought something was broken at first since the "charging" light went out so fast.  Since then, I've been playing with it for a couple of days and the battery indicator hasn't twitched from "full" yet.

The ability to browse the web for free thru the whispernet is kind of amazing.  I suspect that probably won't be viable in the longer term.  The cost of browsing will probably have to be recovered somehow, although Amazon has managed in the past to do things to build customer loyalty which seemed impossible to sustain, so they may well continue to surprise in this area as well.  Amazon has been so far out in front of the retail sales crowd in terms of customer experience that they seem to be in a different business altogether.

I have a few suggestions for improvements and knowing Amazon over the years, I expect most if not all of these have been addressed in the new version or will be soon.

The most obvious criticism is the relative dearth of content.  The ability to convert one's existing digital content to Kindle readable formats helps a lot.  I would like to see a service which would let you download the Kindle versions of any books you have already bought through Amazon in paper form for a small fee (to cover the whispernet and administrative costs involved).  The "Past Purchases" section of the Amazon website should have a link on each of your past purchases which would let you order the Kindle copy of that item (if one is available) for a relatively small fraction of the cost of buying the Kindle version from the Kindle Store.  Obviously as the Kindle takes off, the content for it will explode.  I would love to be able to get NewScientist magazine for my Kindle.  I currently get the digital version of it from NewsStand.

The cover that comes with the Kindle doesn't have a really good grip on the device.  It should have some way of snapping the left edge of the Kindle into the two corners of the cover into which it currently slides loosely.  Perhaps some kind of hinge arrangement or small rings like a looseleaf binder could be devised so that the Kindle could stay in the cover when you flip it over to turn it on or access the SD RAM slot on the back. On the bright side, my wife managed to drop it out of the cover to a concrete floor with no detectable ill effects.  Also, the padding on the part of the cover that covers the screen is a great idea.

The experimental section should have a minimally capable spreadsheet for adding up expenses, calories, gas mileage, and the like.

The blanking period between pages is a bit on the long side, but not enough to seriously interfere with reading.  It isn't significantly longer than it would take to manually turn a page on a real book.

The ability to display colors would be nice but really isn't essential for reading text.

I have heartily recommended the Kindle to friends and family, and many have bought one.  If only Amazon were a dollar stock...I could make a fortune.  Will have to settle with the joy I find in having all of my books with me whether it is waiting in an office or relaxing at the beach.  I read many of the Kindle reviews before buying as well as Sony reviews, and have nothing but high marks for it.  In a few years, I hope they come out with one that has a back light, and is waterproof.

This book is one of the most and the best reviewed in amazon. Feynman life has fancied hundred of people, included myself. Once I started with him I could`t stop with the rest of his books. This one is splendid. Read other reviews and you will ask amazon to deliver your copy.

bought it because of the price and very favorable reviews of the fellow amazonians.  and it worked.  the songs are very nice, simple but powerful, the voice is a huge asset, and the music perfect accompaniment. overall i entirely agree with a number of 5* reviews for this album.

Amazon has been recommending it to me for what seems like years so I finally bit the bullet and went for it and boy oh boy am I glad I did. A fantastic read.

I think this rates 4th in terms of my favorite modern fiction books behind Patric Rothfuss' Kingkiller stuff and Sanderson's "The Way of Kings."

To this point, Amazon has not disappointed me with the process of downloading digital media. Amazon Prime Music is fairly easy to navigate and the sound quality is pretty decent. My one gripe would be with the "download" option for "Prime Music" which feels a bit like an oversight. Overall I'm happy and the ability to stream music of all kinds has been a pleasure. If nothing else, I would say try it- and if you don't like it it's not as if it cost you anything extra. On the other hand you may love it.
