    Small and light weight. Even in a leather case. I was concerned about the small screen but was not a problem after using it for a while.

    I've had my kindle for a few weeks now and find it very easy to cart around and to read regardless of the lighting situation. I'm not crazy about the constant ads for books in genres I'm not at all interested in, but that's about the only negative I've found so far.

    It is very easy to use. Like that font can be magnified. Clear screen is easy to see. Remembers where you stopped reading previously.

    Like the small size although turning off the display does not seem to completely shut the device off, battery will drain
