Yep I love my kindle. And find it dead easy having it all linked with Amazon account. I have a holder/case for it with an integrated light which is v useful for when I find myself sharing a room with one of the kids or I don't wnat to wake husband up.

I have a Kindle and the best thing about it for me is picking up almost exactly at the spot you stopped reading rather than with a physical book where it is much easier to loose your page and end up re-reading several pages again.


Worse thing is I have no feeling for the physical sz of the book and more of pain to flick through next few pages to see where chapter ends etc. I have actually gone into bookshops to look at the physical version of books I'm reading. My Kindle tracks along the bottom of the screen saying what %age of the book I have read rather than page x of xxxx. Slowly getting used to the %age business but bit odd.

Yep my wife has similar and finds it very useful.

I've had my Kindle for about 2 years and I love it. I particularly like the way that if I want to continue reading a book on my iPhone or iPad, it automatically takes me to the exact point I was up to on my Kindle. Like other posters, I like having it linked with my Amazon account. There are so many free books on offer that I don't think I've paid for a book for over a year- it's made me read loads of books that I quite probably wouldn't have tried if I'd had to pay for them.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
