A much much better way to organize your books.
And bigger memory (again) would be nice.

All fair points. . . but. . .you know if you have broadband internet in your home it's pretty easy and relatively cheap to have WiFi. You just need to buy a router.ellenoc said:I'm using my PW over my K3 because of the light and size, but I have to admit I really don't like the touch screen. Too much tapping to do things that were easily done with buttons, and too many times it does something I don't want because of an accidental touch. My ideal would be something like the K3 without the keyboard below but with the light. I want to be able to move from chapter to chapter easily as was possible with the K3, want the easier turning on and off on the wireless like the K3. In fact a K3 with light and without keyboard would be perfect. I'd give up the light and get one of the little $69 Ks except I have no wifi and need the 3G.
Or get a portable hotspot like the Wal-Mart one. Cheap and easy.Ann in Arlington said:All fair points. . . but. . .you know if you have broadband internet in your home it's pretty easy and relatively cheap to have WiFi. You just need to buy a router.
True. . .but if you're already paying for Internet access wired to your house, the router would be a one time cost that would get you WiFi as long as you keep the internet.JuliMonroe said:Or get a portable hotspot like the Wal-Mart one. Cheap and easy.

I got a portable wireless device for my laptop. Worked great when I went to town. Here at home, not worth the cost. Yet my Kindle wireless works fine here. I have neighbors with satellite and they claim it works well, but the reviews are terrible. Maybe I'll try it next time I'm feeling adventurous.JuliMonroe said:Or get a portable hotspot like the Wal-Mart one. Cheap and easy.
The Wal-Mart one is pay-as-you-go, which is why I like it so much. I'm out and about enough that it's perfect for me. Of course, at home I use FiOS, unless the power is out. We lost power randomly for about an hour last week, and it was nice to have the MiFi to check on some things.Ann in Arlington said:True. . .but if you're already paying for Internet access wired to your house, the router would be a one time cost that would get you WiFi as long as you keep the internet.
OTOH, with a MiFi type hotspot -- which you can usually get through one of the wireless providers -- you can use it out and about as well. And they're way cheaper than a smartphone which would probably let you do the same thing. But still a charge monthly or when you use it depending on the plan you purchase -- some are 'pay as you go' I believe, which would be good.

I no longer use collections much because I no longer download all my books to the device - it is too much of a pain to do this every time I get a new device. I download them all to Kindle for PC instead and use collections there. But I would rather have a way to organize the books into Collections on the Cloud, so that I can browse through them more easily from Manage Your Kindle and from Cloud View on the device.
I'd also like page turn buttons on the PW, but I have learned to live without them.
TOTALLY AGREE! I want to be able to permanently delete collections via the Cloud too.VondaZ said:I want a way to organize books on the Cloud.

Interesting...I used to accidentally hit buttons on the K3 keyboard all the time when I was just holding it for reading...it was an annoyance.ellenoc said:I'm using my PW over my K3 because of the light and size, but I have to admit I really don't like the touch screen.

I second this one. I would love to have collections within collections to separate them by author or otherwise. Other than that, I'd say the PW is pretty much perfect for me and can't think of anything else I'd need on it.7vn11vn said:I think the PW is the best Kindle ever. I can't really think of anything more they can do to improve it. The only thing I would like to see is to be able to put collections within collections because I'd like to have author collections inside the main ones, but that's a software issue not hardware. Amazon does need to fix the lighting issues, though. For some reason mine is great, but it seems that too many other people are complaining, so they obviously need to take care of that problem.
