Some customer reviews of Amazon Kindle (4th generation, WiFi)

Most helpful reviews

JLS, London Gadget lover

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Hard button to change the page, means can be used with gloves on. Display quality in low is very readable. Downloading takes seconds and sync allows you to continue on a different device exactly where you left off, even if you are reading multiple books.
Even after a year you still find yourself using it. Did I mention that it fits on your Jeans pocket?
Bad points:: Typing is a pain, you have cursor back and forth for each character. Scrolling does not loop, WiFi on/off is (now) buried deep into multiple presses.

Battery Life	1 month (wireless off)
The battery life of ebook readers is usually measured in the number of times you can ‘turn a page’ before the battery runs out. Turning a page is the only activity that uses any significant amount of power. For the average reader, 6000-7500 page turns is about 2 weeks worth of reading. Battery life for eBook Readers with wireless capabilities, like the Kindle, is measured in hours, because power is used continually to maintain the wireless connection.
