Very happy with my keyboard Kindle to be honest, so doubt I would swap Kindle Smile

Welcome to the forum, cannonfodder.

Do let us know what it's like when you get it. Not long to wait! Smile

RE: Who's pre-ordered a new Kindle?

I just got mine delivered in germany. I am a first time user of the Kindle devices so I have nothing to compare to in the rest of the kindle range. Updated to 4.01, no probs. Still getting around the menu. wifi set up received emails. I have plugged it into my PC. I used the white usb sync cable that came with it, rubbish, kept showing then not, I could not eject it. I tried one of my other micro usb cables no problems. Just playing with it now.

Got mine today too, feels better than the standard Kindle and the page turns are slicker. (tho the normal Kindle may get that with 4.01)
At last.... a kindle of my very own.

Wink RE: Who's pre-ordered a new Kindle?

Hi All, just joined the forum & this is my first post. I pre-ordered my kindle and received it a week ago. It is my first kindle (though not my first ereader), so far I'm loving it, simple to use and easy on they eyes too.

When downloading books, it's really simple with the wifi, only slightly harder with the usb, but either way so far as taken less than 20 second.

The only thing I wasn't prepared to do was pay another £30 on top for the case, although I do want one to protect my kindle, I think amazon prices were a bit steep. So I have ordered an alternative from other sources.

Will keep you posted how things go or if I have any problems.

That's all for now

Dave

I love my K2 and would be very reluctant to trade it in. I rarely use the keyboard, as my laptop is on all day and if I want to check anything out I use that.
