Easy set up, this is the first item my Kindle has been able to hook with via Bluetooth. You can type and still use touch screen. It feels very hefty. I am amazed at how many keys they were able to get on this keyboard that is only as wide as the kindle itself. Keys feel a bit like a toy and even though they have spaces between them my hands feel squashed together. I doubt I could type very long on such a small keyboard. I do wish the delete,back button was slightly larger as the top row is smaller than the rest of the keyboard. I type on my lap often and the magnetic base that forms a triangle to hold the kindle up is a bit wobbly on soft surface like my knees but does hold, has not collapsed on me yet. Typing on a solid surface works well. Folds up like a diary with magnet to keep it closed. It does have a physical on,off switch, I like that. Holds on to the Kindle firmly yet easy to pop out for using the Kindle without keyboard. Cover bends in just the right places to reach the power button and volume that are located at the back of kindle. If you allow the cover to lay flat it actually improves the volume of the ill placed speakers that are on the back on the kindle. I have been using a book cover type case with my kindle but I will be using this one now because I do a lot of typing. You will have to charge the case separate from your kindle.
