after ordering on 30/8/10 remember i told you that i would get on Monday 26th of sept but then i got an email this Monday saying it had been dispatched and i would get it on Thursday 23/9/10!

I was dismayed as i happen to work and the Home Delivery would take it away but when i came home from work today i found a card saying it had been left BEHIND THE HUT!

omg!

i had arrived a day early! my whole day ruined ! as i will be forced to tinker with it all day.

I was shocked, i thought for a £149 item they would make me sign for it.

what is stop me from claiming i never got it?

i ask you?

i could get another kindle for free.making the price £75 each.

anyway i opened the box without eating anything first !

i reached in and lo and behold! i held the kindle in my grubby little paws for the first time in myhistory.

(History get it?).

however i was dismayed and horrified to find it was quite heavy.it was not feather weight at all as some had claimed.seemed heavier than a paperback.
i will have to join a gym after all.

maybe because it was a 3G?

i then shook it ...no rattling noises..i squeezed it all over no creaking. so far so good...

I then tried to put in my inside jacket pocket and it would not fit! damn and blast! confounded thing was too big!!!! arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

it was the bezel it was too thick and inflated the size.

i measured it ...came to a whopping 1.5 cm on each side.3 cm in total and also 1.5 cm wasted above the keyboard.if only scissors could cut it off.

that means i cannot put it inside my inside jacket pocket after all and also my heart will be also undefended from some drug addled ned or drunken lout trying to stab me with a knife jumping at me from a corner.

my shield gone.my heart shield dream unrealized.

i can just squeeze into my jacket shoulder sleeve but it makes look like a lop sided transformer robot.

i took it upstairs and loaded some random 100 txt,pdf,doc,rtf books by usb copy/paste.

i browsed and played with the thing and i could not detect any slow downs ,freezing ,rebooting...i copied all the virgin kindle files to my pc as backup before dumping the books into it.

i was quite shocked to see how fast it had indexed my 100 random books while i scrolled through the kindle system files.

also rtf files are not recognized,nor are doc files but i found if i changed the file extension from rtf or doc to txt they worked !!!

i am amazing.

i also changed the margin from 40 to 12.

i found pdf files to be vastly overrated and painful to view/read and the kindle displayed txt files with ease and proper formatting in novels and books.

pdf was a pain ,text too small or too large ,mucking around with the cursor/zoom...i think it is really for masochists or deluded fashion victims

pdf seems to be a fashion accessory just like wearing trainers...

thus i will convert all my pdf to txt from now on.

part 2 of this review will be coming soon...
