I am thoroughly enjoying my new “toy”. I love to read but now that I’m getting older, I have problems holding books as it can be very painful for me because of my Fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel in both wrists and arthritis in both hands.
The Kindle is light and makes it alot easier for someone like me to read a good book!

First I want to state that I only gave this book a star because I had to in order to post the review. Really I would give it no stars.
Walsch’s initial questions are very good questions and one’s that God wants to answer, and in fact already has. Unfortunately Walsch listened to the wrong voice, and it ultimately led him back to himself. Everybody wants to know why we exist, and why bad things happen to “good” people. The truth is God made man to be in relationship with Himself, but God will not force us to love Him, recieve His love, or obey Him. God created us with a will and will not violate that will.
God is a God of order, and has given us defined right and wrongs for our own good. He knows what ultimately produces life, and what produces death in our lives. Without defined right and wrongs you have utter chaos. There is a reason we have laws in America, policemen and judges to enforce those laws, and consequences for breaking those laws. Within a home you have boundaries and quidlines for your children, and they feel safe and loved because of those boundaries. In the same way the laws of a country are set up to protect it’s citizens, God’s laws are set up to protect us. Our feelings come and go; they are constantly changing. If we are basing right and wrong on that which is ever changing, we will never have anything to stand on. The word of God is unchanging and solid. It transcends religion, age, gender, and time.
God is also just and therefore must punish sin. Thankfully He sent His own Son to take the punishment for us. But if we refuse to accept His sacrifice on our behalf, we will have to bear the weight of God’s judgement. God is a God of love and mercy, and desires that none perish, but He is also righteous and holy. We cannot enter heaven carrying our sins. God has made a way for us, but only one way. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man can go to God except through Jesus. My prayer is that Walsch would have an encounte

I hope anyone reading these reviews will set the reviews to show the latest first. The older reviews are mostly comparing the Kindle 1 to the Kindle 2, and aren’t relevant to most folks.
The Kindle 2 is great, no doubt about it. Easy to read, easy to hold, and I’ve found the battery seems to last more than a week (of course I do not keep the wireless on as there is no need for it unless downloading a new book). The only thing I don’t like about it is I didn’t get one sooner. One of the best things is all the free books you can get – such as my favorite, “The Count of Monte Cristo” … and this is the only place I’ve found the unabridged version with the proper story line.
Where I am located, kind of a dead zone, I only get a 1 to 2 bar signal, but the books still download in around one minute.
One of the things I really like is, if my wife wants to take a turn reading one of her books, she just has to select that book and it’ll open to the last page she was reading.
I see a lot of discussion concerning covers, and their causing cracks in the Kindle. I strongly recommend the MaxGuard Plus eReader Jacket. Your Kindle slips in, everything is there: all the buttons, keyboard, etc., and the way it is made, there are no “hinges” to connect. You can find one here TrendyDigital MaxGuard Plus Kindle Cover (fits Kindle Wireless Reading Device 6″ Display, Latest Generation), with Embedded Corner Closure, Black Color – they also have the same thing on eBay, but no cheaper.
One word of caution: I have a “sound machine” beside my bed, and one night when I finished reading, I set the Kindle close to the sound machine … there was a lot of static, so I moved it. The next time I opened it to my book, it had reset to the beginning. So be careful setting your kindle close to electrical devices. This isn’t a big problem, just something good to be aware of.
Be sure to get the extended warranty.
A good book, a hot cup of tea, and a purring kitten on you lap … it does
