Next week will be the 8th anniversary of the first generation Kindle. There has been a lot of discussion lately about how both the e-book market and the market for e-readers has changed. I thought it would be fun to take a quick video look back at the first Kindle. Pay special attention to that scroll wheel. It was a big deal at the time! I used to go back and forth between my Kindle 1 and my Kindle 3 (Keyboard). Going back to the scroll button tripped me up every time. 🙂
I still love the look of this device! What do you think? Kindles sure have changed….

8th anniversary… wow. Time sure flies! I still use my Kindle with the keyboard. Maybe I’ll upgrade one of these days. 😀
As long as it still works and you are happy with it, that’s all that counts. 🙂 I don’t exactly suffer from device envy, but I tend to love new features that solve problems. Because of my poor vision, the light on the Paperwhite did that for me and I find that I like reading on it the best. I can also read in bed without bothering DH. But the keyboard was my favorite for a long time…. it is a really good device. As long as it works, enjoy it!
