Very handy to have to you make sure you know what all the different conditions are causing. The artwork is alright, and the colors make it readable (although it could have used a better color palate).

The frame is as described, nothing particularly to complain about except that the colors lack contrast. Maybe a different choice of colors, or colors with increased contrast would help in making the text stand out.

Some of the colors are too dark to highlight words in a book.

For a school textbook, it's really not bad and it reads easy.

The only complaint I have is during the day time it's hard to read no matter what color you choose other than that its great!

i like the features it currently offers, such as instant downloading and sampling of books, magazines and blogs.

however, the main issue I have with it is that you can not adjust the contrast of the screen.

the background screen color is a light to mid grey, and the text is black.

Compared side-by-side to some printed books it is comprable, but it depends on the book.

Some books have nice white pages, and deep black ink for text. These books are particularly easy to read.

The Kindle is (kind of) like looking at an old book, where the ink is a little more washed out, and the page color is darker and more weathered. This, to me, is harder to read.

I'm not sure what the decision was, or the technical limitations are, of enabling contrast adjustment on this device.

Secondary to this, it would be a nice option to use this device as an Email reader. It is nicer to read and write with than a computer monitor. It's easier on the eyes, so I think it would be a nice proces to use it for Email...

thanks for reading

certain colors write better than others. the poor orange was DOA. the lime green isn't too swift. but the colors that do write, do so well and the odor is not very noticeable.

Shirt was lighter in color than expected so the contrast with the letters made it a little difficult to read

Colors are not as bright, but still glad I bought it!

It was a little more marked up that I would hope, but the text is in good shape and certainly readable.

Just got this and the product almost matches the pictures. The only difference is that the color isn't as vibrant as the picture. Personally, I'm actually happier with the color I got, so that's not an issue for me.

The sleep/wake feature seems to work. Unfortunately, it works a bit better than I expected. I've gotten into the habit of turning the screen off and was a bit surprised that the wake feature would turn it on from that state. This is a bit annoying because 1)it will wake the kindle every time I open it, so it makes the interior pockets less useful and 2)frankly, I'd rather have the blank screen than look at the special offers.

Its a bit bulkier than I would have really liked, but it seems well padded. The fit is snug, which is good, but the flap over the opening is hard to get at, so this probably isn't a good choice if you want to take the kindle out frequently.

It also seems to make the kindle a bit tricker to use than I would have liked. If you open it, it will stand upright, but not at a good angle for reading and makes the kindle less convenient to hold. Fortunately, it fits in my book stands just fine.

*$4.50 when I bought it.

An entertaining read, but could have made the same impact without all of the strong language.

The print isn't as bold as it shows in the product picture.

It very nice except the image could be a little clearer.

Good one, fun to read. The letters are nice and colorful. It could, however, be better, so i rated 4 stars.

Overall acceptable, but the color differs from the website quite a bit.

Planner is okay, very informative, but could have done better with the color scheme of the book, it just too much blue.
