  • Kindle brilliant fantastic

    I love. My kindle its saved me hundreds of dollars I did not get to review a free one I had my as a Christmas present last year . My husband brought it from dick smiths.. It was suggested by a staff member when hubby did not know what to buy.. I would of liked a purple one but it only came in black or white... The money you save on books is so good as I love to read I light .. It's so easy to charge . It fits in my hand bag.. It's easy to se I have even cook books on it.. I love my kindle and now I can have thousands of books and it makes it so easy now if I want to re read a book . No more going to the garage and sorting through boxes... If there is one thing or good readers should own is a kindle.. I know some people still like a good old fashion book so do I. But the kindle is great..

  • THE KINDLE IS SO CONVENIENT - WHO KNEW?

    I'm loving the Kindle. I haven't used one before this, and am delighted with it. My hubby and I can both put books on it and share it when we are travelling, this will save packing 2 or 3 books each time we go on holidays. As we are book lovers we will still take a book each and share the Kindle. He reads early in the day and I'm a night owl, so it works for us. Easy to use, light and manageable, definitely get Santa to bring you one. You will be happy!

  • Overall

    Overall, would I recommend this product to other people? YES

    How do I like reading from a Kindle compared to a real book? Give me the kindle any day! I have done more reading with the kindle than I have from a book in a long time.

    Would I prefer the touch version over this one? Not necessarily. You quickly get use to the different features. I think people just want the touch because they are so use to that style from their smart phones. But making the switch is no probs.

    What is easier to use/hold/read from, a book or the Amazon kindle? Definitely the Amazon Kindle. So light, no funny feeling pages, no bookmarks required, no turning over the corner of pages, no books piling up on your desk, bedside table, on shelves and you can shop for a 'new book' at any time of the day or night, which is great if you are wanting a new book and the shops are closed!

    Would I buy this product as a gift for someone? I definitely would. My sister is rather jealous already ;)

  • The kids thought it was great!

    What did my children think? They loved it. It was something different so they were intrigued.

    I won't be making the switch for the kids, as I think it's important for them to have actual books, but for something different a couple of times a week the Kindle is perfect. Would be great when travelling and reading to the kids too!

  • Someone call Security!.........oh Phew there it is!

    I'm back already!

    So, I downloaded a sample of a book, a free children's book and a full version of another book, only $2.99 so it didn't break the bank.

    Left it to charge, which btw, the USER GUIDE (yes I finally read it) say NOT to use any old AC adaptor, oops!

    Then when I started playing with it again it suddenly dawned me, SECURITY SECURITY SECURITY. I am a freak when it comes to security and I HATED entering payment details into my Amazon account, which btw you have to have set up even if you are downloading free content. Prior I thought, oh well, once you download a book remove the details until you are ready to purchase again, but then I thought okay, it's time to read the User Guide Amy! and that is where I discovered that it does in fact allow you to see a passcode, PHEW! (this is not only to protect my money from baddies, but also to prevent my children downloading any old book lol)

    So now that I Have that sorted I can stop worrying and go to bed ;) hahaha

    ps My even more security conscious husband said "Maybe you can get a debit card and just transfer a small amount over that way if someone got a hold of it, they don't have access to your entire bank account". I might visit the bank tomorrow.......any excuse to go to the shops right ? Oooh and I can 'fit out' my Kindle at the same time.

  • It's here! Thank you!

    Guess what I picked up from the post office today. The amazing Amazon Kindle wi-fi to review for MOM and Dick Smith. Thank you for choosing me!

    Is it a female thing to want to 'fit it out' the moment I have it in my hot little hands? Pity it's 8.25pm and the shops close soon, darn! Though I could satisfy my urge to online shop, but then I would have to wait lol though it does make me wonder how long/short delivery is through Dick Smith. Hmmm I may have to go take a peek.

    First thoughts when I picked it up, it's oh so light and really does fit into the palm of your hand.. Love the way it is packaged and if you were giving one as a gift you wouldn't need gift wrap, just a gorgeous silver bow to match the kindle wording on the box and you're done!

    Me being me, I decided to give it a go without looking up the online tutorial to truly see how user friendly it is. By the way, during the setup it will ask you to log into your existing Amazon account if you have one, or setup a new one etc and once you have chosen an option and logged in, you automatically get sent an email that links you through to 'Learn how to get started and discover what your Kindle can do! ' Handy!

    Now big tip here, make sure you remember your Wi-fi password when setting it up. Because this isn't a touch screen, if you are feeling a bit tired like I am, you may get sick of constantly entering your password if you continue to get it wrong like me lol. Not sure why it took me until my sixth attempt to finally look it up on my pc lol.

    So I'm all connected and now trying to decide whether to purchase an e-book or download a freebie, so I put the call out on facebook to see what others have suggested. Meanwhile I am browsing the free seletions and I suddenly thought, hmm how do I turn the page to continue going through the list (No, I have never used one before) so as you do with gadgets you look all over the outside of it to see what you can find, aaah more buttons, on the sides to TURN PAGES ;)

    I think I might call it a night and go and play around with it some more.

    Talk soon!

  • A must have for book readers

    I have now been using the kindle for several days and I love it. I have used it while waiting for appointments and on public transport to and from work. My oldest son is learning to read and he seems to enjoy using it. Overall I am very happy with the kindle and have already recommended it to a couple of my friends who I share books with.

  • Light and portable. It is very easy to use.

    I was delighted to be picked to review this product. I am a mad book reader and have been contemplating buying a kindle for the last few months. My friend has one and loves it. I have found the kindle easy to use and the charge lasts a surprisingly long time. It is much easier to read from the kindle than with a book in bed, which I do every night. I can get quite bad headaches from looking at computer screens but I have not had this problem with the kindle. I have just started to download a couple of books and it was very easy. I will report back once I have used it for a few more days. My only negative point is the lack of touch screens.

  • Suits some people

    I was given a Kindle by a generous husband who thought that I would get some use out of it as I read a lot of books and he thought it would be convenient, I think he was upsold at the store, I believe that for many people it is fantastic especially if commuting on public transport, and not having shelves of books around would be good, but I like the old fashioned book, and I find that I spend a lot of time looking at a laptop during the day anyway so it is nice to have a rest from a screen and read a book. So I do not use it. I have It charged and I can use it if I go out, I take it with me if we have medical appointments, especially if they are likely to last hours, and it is handy for that reason but for around home I like to give my eyes a change and use a real book.

  • interesting device

    The kindle is a lot different to what I was expecting it to be. It is very tiny and light weight, wouldn't even notice it in your bag. The screen is so clear that it almost looks like an actual page of a book.

    Was easy to buy from Dick Smith, but would have been a lot cheaper to buy from Amazon.

  • Not a big fan of the kindle

    I am not a big fan of the kindle and find i have alot of trouble finding my way around it. I use apple products and do believe them easier and cheaper with their apps. My kids love playing with the Kindle but always switch to the apple as well. I guess it is what your used to and what you dont mind paying for

  • The Kindle is loved by young and old.

    I actually bought a kindle for my Mum for Christmas. Dick Smith had the best price and range of accessories to match. Mum has downloaded some great reads and has included children classics for the Grandies to read. Would definitely recommend paying a bit more and getting the 3G Wi-Fi model so that you can downloadbooks anywhere.

  • Santa finally came to me... :-)

    Having used the kindle for the last 2 weeks, i am loving it. It has so many positives that it is unbelievable. Being an avid book reader and now living in a semi remote area this has been an absolute blessing of a a review for me to do. I always get things for Hubby and Son and always forget about myself... as most mums do, so i was glad to be able to review this as it was selfishly all for me.

    I read every spare chance i get, which is really not that much these days with a very active 2 year old and with my darling husband working away... but i grab every opportunity I can for a "little bit of me" time.

    I love to look up words that I don't totally understand but with a paper book i have to put the book down, which generally makes me loose my spot as master 2 grabs the book, then i have to get the dictionary and answer all the what you doing mummy questions... which of course i do explain... but with the kindle you can highlight the word you want to know more about and it gives you the definition... fantastic.

    Although its not exactly Christmas at least i know i got a present this year and what a present it is. With hubby working away right up until chrissy im sure he wont get to the shops, which is fine and i totally understand... so thank MOM and Dick Smiths for my early present... definately no regifting this one.

    I can now read those heavy heavy books that i love so much in bed in comfort without having to reposition myself a million times as you get the sore arms going..

    Its lightweght, fits into my handbag, i can take it anywhere, the battery life is brilliant.. i have only charged it once in the two weeks and have been reading for about 15 hours on and off in total over the last couple of weeks.

    What was i thinking not getting one of these for myself sooner.

    All i have to do now is find out if we can get the Australian newspapers on it, then both Hubby and I are set.

    Living where we live it is not just a quick duck into the shops to get that book or get the paper... now all i have to do is set my phone to wifi hotspot (amazing it works) and download a new book. I can even add them to my wish list so i have a reading list ready to go next time im up for a new read. There are also a number of free books out there to try and a lot of other books that you can not get in the shops.

    I highly recommend this product to any avid reader.

  • Need one for each member of the family!

    I was very excited to receive the Kindle and wasn't disappointed when it arrived.

    I really enjoyed having a play with it and found the set up and the navigation was very easy and user friendly. The Kindle was very compact, fitted nicely into one hand and I loved that I could turn the pages on either side of the device. I have read more since having the Kindle than I have in the past few months. It was a really nice change from reading books on my iphone & ipod, it felt much more like reading an actual book.

    Once my seven year old got hold of the Kindle I pretty much didn't see it again. She loved it so much she read 5 books in two days and carried it everywhere with her. I am thinking of buying her one for Christmas as it means she only has to pack the Kindle not the usual dozen books she carts away with us! I also love that there are so many free or cheap books which you can receive instantly as I can actually keep up with how quickly she devours books.

    My 2 younger children also enjoyed reading stories on the Kindle, even though the books aren't in colour, they insisted on having story after story read to them.

    All 3 of the kids had figured out how to use it within minutes of having it in their hands.

    I do recommend buying a case/screen protector etc as one of the first things my kids did was cart it around and inevitably they dropped it, the Kindle was fine but not sure how much rough play it will take.

    As the kids are asleep I am going to sneak off to bed and do some reading while I have the chance.

  • The Heaviest of Heaviest Book... NO PROBLEM NOW!!! :-)

    So i downloaded Bryce Cortenay's Brother Fish. I have had this book in the traditional book form for a while now.. in the Hard Cover form. Whilst i love books, this one is HUGE and now with a little one the only time I really get to read is in bed of a night time. With the Kindle it is so very light and so very compact it made reading this book a breeze... I started it from the start again and stayed up for a long time last night reading in bed, pure bliss.

    It was so easy to read, no sore arms, no readjusting myself to suit the heaviness of the book, i could just lie back and click a button to turn the page.

    What an awesome product... why didn't i get one sooner. Ohhhhh thats right I am a mum and always forget about my self... :-) Thank MOm and Dick Smith, im keeping this one all to myself.

  • Light and easy to use!

    I was excited to use the Amazon Kindle. I am an avid book lover. I am a also a traditionalist and love the feel, smell and really enjoy the tactile experience as well as the imaginary one when reading a book. Unfortunately I was not blown away by the product.

    The packaging is brilliant and makes you feel like you've got something really expensive. The actual Kindle looks great too, it's a simple, stylish colour and is really light.

    Unfortunately after having a play and then reading the user guide I felt sick and had a headache. So this isn't a product I would personally use. My husband on the other hand is thrilled and has claimed it for his own as he has no issues reading from it and thinks it is brilliant.

    I think it is a little expensive to purchase ebooks. You can purchase an actual book for less than the price to download some of them. If I'm paying the same price for an actual book as I am for an ebook then I don't think it's great value.

    Hopefully I'll be able to find some ebooks that are affordable and husband friendly so we get plenty of use out of the kindle!

    Overall I think it's a great product, just not my cup of tea!!

  • so much like a real book

    the first thing i expected from the kindle was that it would be like a phone or a computer and have a backlight, but it dosn't and it is fantastic it really is just like a book. You have to turn on a light to read it, there is no glare and no extra strain on your eyes, so there is nothing stoping you from reading as long as you normally would. i love the fact that it has wifi which means i can sit on the couch, download a new book (which takes seconds) and start reading all while i'm still in my pjs. Also i love long novels and the quite often get wrist pain from holding them but that problem is now gone because the kindle is so light. It has a great battrey life so i dont have to worry about charging it everyday and i dont have to stress that in the middle of the best part of the book that it will die. The prices of the books on amazon are quite a bit cheeper then if you went and brought an actual book, and amazon keeps all your books stored so if you ever lose or want to upgrade your kindle you do not lose all your books.You can also burrow books and lend books to friends which i love. Overall this is a fantastic product that i will use alot. I love to read and this product will make reading even more enjoyable.

  • Easy to naviagate, download books and find them again!

    What an amazing product! I didn't know what to expect. I easily connected to my home wifi, logged in, navigated my way around and bought some magazine subscriptions and two books. It was so easy, simple and very handy to just pop into your purse and walk out the door! I love the usb charging, which means you can really charge it anywhere. It had such easy menus, that you really couldn't go wrong. I think that it would be the perfect gift for my Mum and grandparents for Christmas - not to mention the teenage nieces and nephews! Don't think this would be suitable for children under 8 years old.

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • i love sweet potato and this one looks delicious. i think even not including dairy (fore dairyfree people like me) it would still be delicious! 🍠

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
