Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just received my Kindle. I like the size and light feel of the device, reasonably good contrast screen, most importantly, the long battery life. I bought this device primarily due to the new added feature of able to open PDF documents. This allow me to refer to some papers which I want to keep handy at the side, without worrying about charging the device frequently. The long battery life also make it convenient for reading while travelling. So, I downloaded several PDFs to it. The first thing that happened is that Kindle choked on the PDF with scanned images - it froze and had to be reset. Page flipping is slow, very slow. Looks like my expectation is too high - the processor in Kindle is just not up it with images. Update: The Kindle froze several times over the last two days - signs of either bad quality control or bad design. Update: I am trying to think of some good use of this "useless PDF e-reader" device, not wanting to go through the trouble of returning or selling because I am located in Singapore. After purchasing several titles, I was told by the portal to update my country setting. When I updated it to Singapore, it did not allow me to buy any items. Setting it back to United States will only repeat the update country settings. Looks like not only the device is badly design, the portal is also badly designed for people using it outside of United States. So, I now have a practically useless Kindle, which a) Does not open PDF well b) does not allow purchase with a country setting other than United States c) Ask for country to be changed when set to United State but using outside of United States. Having being so disappointed by this product . I just purchased a 64GB WiFi+3G iPad yesterday, and is happily using it for what it was advertised for. Downloading title to iBooks is such a joy, watching the title appearing on the graphical shelf, and making page flip is so pleasantly responsive with no shadow like those in Kindle. Contrasting the user experience with Amazon's ... Update (Sept 8): I got an email from Amazon informing me that they fix the outside of America usage problem.
