It's the Best! October 25, 2008
I bought the Omron pedometer for my husband and myself last Valentine's day, (for our hearts, don'tcha know.) It has been a fine investment and we have been very pleased with the ease of operation (it works IN your pocket, which means it's harder to lose or fall in the toilet, it resets its own self at midnight.) I have since bought 3 more for my son, mom, and sister. I am about to buy 5 more for gifts.



Great Pedometer October 24, 2008
I really love this pedometer. The best one I have purchased. Easy to use, love that I don't have to hang it from my waist.
Well worth the price. Also Omron is a good product.
I have and will recommend this pedometer to family and friends.



Great pedometer October 24, 2008
I've been searching for a pedometer that is as awesome as this one for years!

Features I love the best:
* works in a purse/pocket as well as on your hip
* Large readout, easy to read
* auto calculates mileage
* Stores a week's worth of step days, so if you forget to write one down it's easy to go back.
* super easy to program!

I've had mine for 6 months and the batter is still going strong.


It's big, but great October 24, 2008
According to Dr. Oz and You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (You), walking 30 minutes a day is a critical aspect of taking care of your body as well as working up to 10,000 steps a day ... so this was one of several products I purchased I as I implemented the Staying Young program.

This pedometer is much larger than any other pedometer I've owned (I've had a few over the years) and I don't particularly care for the size, but it wallops a great punch of features that have made it worthwhile ...

1. This is the easiest one ever to set-up, read, review, etc.

2. It can tell when you're 'walking around' versus 'really walking' -- It tracks all your steps regardless of intensity but it also and tracks a second category as aerobic steps (you just hit the lowest middle 'mode' button to read this subset information). It also tells you distance and calories burned.

3. It resets itself to 0 every morning and has a seven day memory.

4. The belt clip that comes with it is secure and easy to use.

If you are making a commitment to better health and it involves a walking program of any kind, I think this would be a great enhancement to your commitment and success.

Bon Appetit!

Awesome October 24, 2008
My daughter and I both got one of these. It's so fun to see how many steps you actually take in a normal day! It's been fun to use! It even shows you how many calories you are burning. We love it! Now my hubby wants one!

I like the Kindle October 17, 2008
After reading the reviews about the Kindle I decided to try it out. I like to read but don't like the bulk of books. I wanted to be able to take one or more books with me. So, the Kindle was a no brainer. I was worried a bit about some of the bad ratings but I'm a gambler.

After having my Kindle for about 2 months, I LOVE IT! No bulky books to carry around with me. Easy to use (but there is some learning to do). Yes, the buttons aren't perfectly placed so my biggest problem is that I seem to turn pages when I didn't mean to. Get used to it. It happens. Just hit the 'previous page' button and you're back.

Kindle.. Love the newspapers and the magazines. It's not like the real thing but if you want the news, you've got it. And it's all in a small, lightweight unit. I live in the country and the Whispernet, through Sprint, works great. Whole books download in seconds. You can bookmark and highlight to you heart's content. One of my favorite features is the built-in dictionary. Simple to use.

Lots more good than bad. I'd recommend it to anyone. But be careful. It just might make an avid reader out of you.

Thanks Amazon. I'm hooked for life.


Best gift ever! October 17, 2008
I Bought the Kindle for my wife one year ago. She was always wanting to go to the book store. Watching the book pile up I thought I would get her this. Man this is the best thing Ive ever bought her! Shes used it every day for the last year. She takes it with us on trips and cant seem to stop talking about how much she enjoys it. Shes always happy to share info about the unit. Shes even gone so far to suggest Colleges she use the Kindle and kids would have a lot less to pack around. It might even save high book cost's. If anyone is on the fence about this item, no worries! This thing rocks!


I'm Very Pleased with my Kindle October 17, 2008
I am very pleased with my Kindle. I'm still learning what all I can do on it. So far, it has met all my expectations. I suffer from severe rheumatoid arthritis and was finding it very difficult to hold my books while reading because of painful fingers. (had to use a pillow to hold Duma Key)

The downloads are very fast and it is still charged from the hour I had it plugged in the day it was delivered. I read for a couple hours every night, sometimes a lot more. I do not use the book holder because it just adds weight.

I would recommend this to my friends who love to read as much as I do. I also like to be able to make the font larger. My eyes are not so good as I am diabetic and need large print books.

Thanks Amazon for a great product.

Kindle.. This is a great product. I am finding it easy to use even when I don't read the instructions. It was so handy when I wanted to read in the airport, on the plane and at my destination. When someone extols a book they are reading, I question them carefully, consider who they are, and if they pass the test, I order the book on the spot before I forget the title. Several friends who like toys are also interested after seeing my Kindle in action.


Where do I hold this thing? October 17, 2008

Lets keep this simple.

Kindle

Postive: The text appearance is great. Very easy on the eyes. Almost like reading from a book.

Negative: It is very uncomfortable to hold and read. There are very large buttons on both sides and the bottom. Why? It's like its made for a gorilla to change the page. Every where you touch to casually grab the thing it turns the page or worse. Did they test this thing before they mass produced it? Oh, wait... As an early buyer I was the tester. I'm hoping to send it back and buy one when they have the ergonomics figured out.
