BETTER THAN EXPECTED!
We have been turned off by audio books and were wary of this type of product. We visited a store and put our hands on the Nook and realized that it would be a beneficial product. We purchased the Kindle rather than any of the competitor products because of the various reviews and evaluations. We have not been disappointed. For those who read a lot, even if you purchase used books, it is a valuable asset.

Books not avalible
I have had this kindle for more that a year and use it almost daily. More and more I have had to go back to books stores as the books avalible seem to be very very limited. Right now on my Kindle it says "send us your input at kindle-feedback@amazon,com" Try to find this, they do not want communication. I am now looking at other readers to be able to get books that I want, not what they want to sell. Think they will read this , hardly, the are no real people to call or discuss this with.

Best e-reader at the best price.
I wanted to give an e-reader as a gift to my wife. I researched every one I could find: Nook, iPad, etc. This thing just does what it does without a lot of hype. Simple, light, user-friendly, long battery life between charges. You can pay more, but if what you want is simple and economical you have to consider the Kindle.

M505
It is a good mouse, but the light that indicates when the battery power is low has never worked.

Wireless mouse
Looks and works great on 2 Dell and 2 Sony Vaio laptops.
Haven't had it long enough to comment on durability, but wouldn't want to drop it. Cover to battery compartment is very flimsy so need to be careful opening and closing to access/store USB wireless transceiver. This wouldn't be an issue if you are using the mouse with only one laptop. In this case you would just leave the transceiver plugged into the laptop's USB port.
I don't expect much ergonomics in a small laptop mouse, but is far better that using touchpads.

Great product of the price
This wireless mouse is easy to install and is pleasure to use due to its sleek design. I recommend it to anyone who is in need of a very mobile implementation.

Logitech M505
This is a good mouse. I also have the model that preceded this one,[v450] that does not have the unify receiver. Both models are practically the same, except that in my opinion, the "wheel click" is better on the M505.

It's Ok, but the range is short
We chose this product to take with us on our trip to the Canadian Rockies (we wanted pictures of the two of us while hiking). It worked most of the time, but you need to be fairly close to the camera and need to have a direct line of sight to the sensor. Overall, it's just ok.

Good product for simple usage.
This product is good for your nikon cameras and is really easy to use. Simple button for taking pictures. Only down side is that there is only one button to use. It's the only wireless remote from nikon for most of there cameras and I wish there was more of a variety.

Great
This item works exactly as described. I've used it for more than 6 months with a Nikon D90, and never had any issues with it. I've used it up to 15 feet away from the camera, and never had a problem. It is simple enough for my 6 year old to use.

Great accessory to your compatible Nikon!
Probably one of the best accessories for my D90! Compose your photograph (don't pre-focus), stand with the group, press the button. My only concern is it is so small that I might inadvertently lose it. Otherwise a "must have" accessory.

Works as advertised
I wanted a bright light as a reminder light for use even during the daytime (for when I open a door in a well-lit area.) And this light does exactly that. I just hope that the batteries have a decent lifespan.

False advertizeing
Hi. This was advertised as having a light sensor that would keep it from coming on during the day if it's light in the area the unit is in. Not true, it comes on irregardless of the light conditions. It works fine. It has enough
light in the evening to see the floor. In this respect, it works great. The motion detector senses movement quickly as you approach it. It serves my purpose, even though it'll cost more for batteries.

backup lighting
This light is ok. It is sufficient in lighting up a small dark area like a closet.
It need a day/night sensor. I have purchase two other similar lighting systems with day/night sensors similar in price.

easy lighting
I purchased two of these and they work great and be positioned at any height.

Samsung Wireless Linkstick
I am extremely pleased with the wireless Linkstick. Delivery was ahead of schedule which accelerated joining NetFlix. Configuration was a breeze and by the book. One needs to know a tad about your router but I am an ex computer integrator so no problems there. Hookup was first shot and connection is to a Dlink 4 port wire & wireless N router one floor below the TV itself. Reception is great with rarely a disconnect and that's a Comcast issue. Hookup is without security features but network is extremely secure and no neighbors are computer savy. If you get one for your Samsung TV you will be very pleased providing you supply the proper bandwidth.

Wirefree is the way to be!
When setting up my systems, I really hate having to run wires all over the place, my walls would look like the base of a jungle tree with everything I'd have climbing the wall to the TV. This little USB dongle really saved me the hassle. Connectivity is pretty darn good, some cut out now and then, but that's a system wide problem I'm having specifically. Set-up was easy, and allowed for an encrypted security key, so now I'm enjoying some high quality streaming. Thank you Samsung.

Simple, easy fantastic!!
This doesn't get any simpler it gets. Unpack the LinkStick adapter, which includes a right-angle adapter. Plug it in to the back of the Samsung Bluray player or TV. Turn it on, go to the menu. Voila. It sees the adapter and connects to your home network. Select the correct encryption and password for your access point. It took me just under 2 minutes and the downloads started.

The video streams in 1080P. Allowed me to run my netflix through it. Could not be happier

perfect little gadget
I didn't know when I got a Blu-ray to stream from Netflix that I'd need this little adapter to use it wirelessly. I ordered it, it came, it works. Instructions were fuzzy as to which port on the Blu-ray player to use, but I figured it out. (The USB in back, on my model.) Added another or so to the price of the Blu-ray, but I got what I wanted. Get it here--the price on the Samsung site is a good bit more.

Great with the right flash, but not nikon sb 400 / 600 or 900
This type of flash works just fine however if you are using a locking style nikon flash, this wireless is not the one. Why not? No locking pin hole. Without this, your flash can fall off of this set up.

However, if you have the old compression style flash, you will be just fine.

Cowboy Studio Wireless Remote
These work. Plain and simple they just work. I use them on my Canon 430EX II and have not had a problem. True you cannot utilize ETTL, you have to have the flash set to manual mode but for a cheap way to use wireless flash they work great. They feel kinda cheap and light but that's what they are. None the less they work. Good for the beginner on a budget like me.

Cheap, worth the price
Works fine for a distance of up to 30 feet or so. Will not necessarily fire inside a building if you are outside. The occasional failure to fire may be because the strobe has dropped into standby mode after inactivity (this is according to another comment but I haven't tested to see if this is true). I bought them for use outside in a bright daylight situation where the Nikon CLS infra red system can become unreliable. If I paid what Pocket Wizards cost I would expect more range and complete reliability, but for the money I am satisfied and they serve my purposes.

Awesome printer
I've had this printer for about a year now and it has performed flawlessly. I use it over my wireless network and have never had a problem printing or scanning with either computer. Photos on glossy photo paper look exceptional! I previously owned an Epson all-in-one and I occasionally had issues with print quality, even after cleaning the heads. The Brother MFC 495CW has been a welcome change. It is very compact for an all-in-one and does everything it is supposed to do. I echo what other people have said about the paper tray, but even though it feels fragile, I've never had an issue with it actually breaking or malfunctioning.

Make sure to use OEM ink cartridges - they produce better results than the "compatible" ink.

Difficult to set up, otherwise great printer.
It took me hours to set up the wireless, and I know a lot about computers. Otherwise great printer.

Work perfectly!
This Medialink Wireless N Adapter easy to install and works perfectly! I'm running OS XP 32-Bit with a 2Wire router. I purchased this adapter about 1 month ago.

One-Step Wireless
I bought this for my Windows 7 desktop, plugged it into the USB port and within seconds I was connected to the internet. No menus or installation to deal with, a strong signal without any problems. I am truly impressed with the ease and usefulness of this affordable USB wireless adapter.

Excellent Product and performanc
I had purchased similar USB wireless adapter product from other vendor before. It got disconnected very often and I could not find out whether it is my wireless router or USB adapter itself. After reading feedback from Amazon, I decided to purchase from Medialink and install on my desktop, which is in different floor from my wireless router.

The package included a separate dock so I can place USB adapter on dock instead of connecting to desktop directly. After using for 2 months, I found it is running very stable compared to my previous experience on other vendor product.

The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of its menu user interface. It's really difficult to understand before reading online menu.

In general, I would strongly recommend this product for people who need to connect their desktop via wireless adapter.

Beware of potential installation issues with (free) Zonealarm
Tried to install this on a Windows 7 PC using the procedures and CD provided. No luck, the USB device was obviously detected by Windows and its little LED flashed blue, but from a networking point of view it said "disconnected". Further troubleshooting via Windows' 7 built in network trouble shooter led to an "unspecified problem with the driver".

I tried updating the driver, uninstalling and then leaving it to Windows to find its own driver, but nothing worked.

Then via a web search I read about a possible interaction with ZoneAlarm (free) that prevented correct driver installation. And indeed, this was the case. You have to uninstall your LAN card driver, uninstall ZA (just disabling won't work), restart Windows, let Windows install its driver of choice, and *then* the LAN card works just fine!

At this point you can either re-install ZA or just let the Windows firewall do its thing. Hope this saves some others the couple of hours I wasted on what should have been a trivial procedure.

Oh yes, I get full signal strength with the USB device plugged in horizontally on the back of the PC with the Linksys G router in a different room. Downlink about 5 Mbit/s, uplink about 2Mbit/s (the latter limited by my cable modem).
