Indeed, it works as well as the day I purchased it, save the battery life. These days, I’m not sure if the 3G functionality still works, but my Kindle still does. It was great hopping on a flight with a whole library of books in tow. While I didn’t use the Kindle every day (I do still love paper books) it became an amazing and useful travel companion.
For a while there, I had free 3G service through that browser which came in very handy when I was off-grid two months the following summer on Prince Edward Island, Canada. It also had a cool experimental page with a functional, basic web browser that could actually cruise the internet–albeit with an interface that was never designed to do so. That particular model sported Wifi and free international 3G connectivity. In November, 2011, I purchased my first Kindle E-Ink reader: the Kindle III keyboard. She handed me her Kindle and I read a couple pages and was hooked. The image was greyscale, there was no backlighting and the print was incredibly crisp. While I knew all about the device’s functionality, I couldn’t get over how appealing the E-Ink display appeared. She had an Amazon Kindle–it was the first time I’d seen one in person. Why in the world would I abandon print books and stare at yet another screen?Ī couple years later, I sat next to a (rather talkative) passenger on a trip to Seattle.

I remember back in 2007 when Amazon announced their first Kindle E-Ink portable reader, I honestly couldn’t imagine how it could be useful.
