Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the Amazon book reader. Some mention that it's easy to use, work well, battery life is good, and navigation is fine and not cumbersome.

Fantastic, As Long As You Recognize It's Not Supposed to Be a Tablet
We want to begin this review by stating something simple, something that should be patently obvious: This is an e-reader. This is NOT a tablet or iPad. This is for READING. This is not for games or watching YouTube. This is a beautiful device that does exactly what it's supposed to do: allow your child to read.Ok. Soapbox has been stowed.We really like this device. For several years, way back when e-readers were first coming out, we extensively used a competitor's brand. We enjoyed that perfectly fine. You can totally see the evolution of e-readers with this, particularly with respect to being kid (and parent)-friendly. It only has the one button (and again, don't come into this expecting a touch screen, because #notatablet), and it turns itself on and off. It starts up super-fast and picks right back up with where your child left off reading. It is backlit, which is something our device-accustomed eyes will need to adjust to.The cover is brilliant. Physically, it has magnets on front and back and holds itself open nicely. We got the version with the rainbow birds, and they are well done. Each bird has its own character and expression. The inside is purple, so it doesn't scream "boy" or "girl," if you're using this with a brother and sister (as we do in our household),As a parent, I love this, because I don't have to worry that my kids are reading something I don't want them reading. I can see what they're doing and for how long. And if I ever feel bored myself (if only), I can use my PIN and exit the kid mode. At this point, it becomes a "regular" Kindle and I can read what I want to read.There are different programs to use for reading (e.g. GoodReads) and apparently you can borrow books, although I haven't had a chance to play with that much. There is even an experimental browser you can use, although I hate to cross those streams. Downloads are fast (we did a Wimpy Kid book in about 15 seconds), and the batter life is pretty insane. If you or your child is reading anything with a comic frame, double-clicking on it will expand it so you can see better.I've been fighting with my daughter this school year to read, although that's absurd because her reading level is off the charts. She seems to like this a whole lot. I guess it's "cooler" to read this way than the ancient way with an actual book in her hand. I don't much care, as long as she's reading.
