Review: Fine for small typing tasks like email

I can't see anyone writing a novel on this keyboard, but for small jobs like email or tweeting, it can come in very handy. The Kindle slides into the two plastic brackets easily, and the top of the folder folds under to make a stand. When closed, the folder stays closed with a magnet; it works okay, but I would prefer an elastic loop like on Belkin's chambray Kindle case. The keyboard charges fast and switches on and off easily with a slider switch on one side. Once you turn it on and turn on the Kindle's bluetooth (which I normally keep off to preserve power) and discover it, it pairs up automatically and quickly whenever I switch them both on.Unless you have very small hands, typing will be more like hunting and pecking. The letters are also hard to see in dim light, and I don't like having to hold down the function key for an apostrophe. But I can accept these shortcomings on such a small, compact keyboard.
