I love this gadget! If you love books, you will love Kindle.
It is an amazing gadget with revolutionary electronic-paper display. It provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper.
Very simple to use: no computer, no cables, no syncing.
Wireless connectivity enables you to shop the Kindle Store directly from your Kindle—whether you’re in the back of a taxi, at the airport, or in bed.
Buy a book and it is auto-delivered wirelessly in less than one minute – how good is that!.
More than 250,000 books are available, including more than 102 of 112 current New York Times® Best Sellers.
New York Times® Best Sellers and New Releases $9.99, unless marked otherwise.
Free book samples are available too. Download and read first chapters for free before you decide to buy.

Top international newspapers from France, Germany, and Ireland; Le Monde, Frankfurter Allgemeine, and The Irish Times—all auto-delivered wirelessly.
More than 1100 top blogs from the worlds of business, technology, sports, entertainment, and politics, including BoingBoing, Slashdot, TechCrunch, ESPN’s Bill Simmons, The Onion, Michelle Malkin, and The Huffington Post—all updated wirelessly throughout the day.

Long battery life. Leave wireless on and recharge approximately every other day. Turn wireless off and read for a week or more before recharging. Fully recharges in 2 hours.

One thought on “Kindle: Amazon’s Wireless Reading Device

  1. I read your blog about how you love Kindle. I also love it but for a much different reason. I’m a writer and small press publisher. Unlike the big publishing companies that have thousands of titles I only have six. Kindle and similar devices kind of level the playing field. It opens up a whole new market for small publishers like me.

    I am new to kindle and haven’t had many sales yet but my books sell well in print and get great reviews. So far I haven’t gotten any reviews on the Kindle side but maybe you can be the first.

    My titles are:
    The Power to say “NO MORE” to abuse
    Darktales a collection of sick twisted scary stories
    Darktales Volume Two
    The Perfect Girl
    The EYES of Evil
    The Truth about Trucking.

    Im currently working on Darktales Volume Three and should be releasing that one soon.

    Anyways if you happen to buy any of my books on Kindle I want you to know the price is drasically lower than print copies for the obvious reason that there is no printing cost involved. Which is another reason I love Kindle.

    Hope you enjoy you Kindle and happy reading.
