I was visiting my folks last week after having sent them a K3 as a belated holiday gift. Once the book is open, it's a great experience reading the same continuous title.

However ... the menu navigation was a nightmare. Granted I wasn't used to it, and yes, I did keep trying to touch the (bleep)ing screen!

I ran into the situation that my dad (who has Parkinsons) finished a sample that he liked, so I bought the book, but I had to go back to the sample to see the location where it ended, and then (tediously) fast forward to that point so he could resume reading. Did I miss something - was there a better way?

There appears to be no DELETE feature on a Kindle? My mom was surprised to see me tethering the unit, and deleting stuff from her PC.

Unless there was a more detailed User Guide I missed, the one I encountered focused heavily on adding (their) content, and not a lot else? I stumbled across the web browsing feature under "experimental", almost by accident.

I'm now convinced I'd get a 950 next before getting a Kindle if I want to add internet.
