This was a gift for my 13 year old. She likes it a lot. The feature that she likes the best is the size. I like the 'no cable required' feature. The only problem we have with it is this: the instrutions were not easy to understand. My daughter played with it for a few hours to figure out how to use it.

I bought these underpads based on most of the positive reviews, thinking that since a lot of you recommend this it must be of value. Oh how I was wrong.. They are flimsy and weak; merely a piece of tissue attached to a piece of plastic. Please do not purchase them if you think they are absorbent. I purchased these on J...

I carry my Kindle everywhere with me. I read all the time. I also have an iPad and iPhone, but it is so much easier to read on the KIndle. I just wish I had waited for the KIndle Fire.

Very interesting perspective on American history. Unlike anything we ever learned in school. Definitely written from a strong political perspective.

I didn't realize this was a closeout when I ordered this cover. It isn't the right size for my Kindle, but my husband was able to use Velcro to make it fit! I use it to keep notes in. Overall, I am happy with this case, although I am sure I would have preferred one that actually fit my KIndle. My mistake!
