Amazon Kindle

Stephen King's definition of a Kindle: "A gadget with stories hiding inside it. What's wrong with that?"

The Amazon Kindle is Amazon's New revolutionary portable book reader that can wirelessly downloads books, newspapers, magazines and blogs. The Kindle has a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display which looks and reads like real paper - even in bright sunlight.

But the Kindle is more than a portable book reader and can best be compared to a PDA. For it has a QWERTY keyboard and you can search the Kindle Store or use the "free built-in access" to one of the best sources of information in the world: encyclopedia —Wikipedia.org. You also have access to the Oxford American Dictionary right on the device.

Amazon uses its own wireless delivery system called Amazon Whispernet which uses the same 3G network as advanced cell phones. This is only available in the U.S. (excluding Montana and Alaska at time of writing) - this portable book reader can download books wirelessly thru the high-speed data network (EVDO) so there's no need for hot-spots or WiFi. Keep in mind, there are no monthly wireless bills or service commitments for users of the Kindle. Major Plus!

Amazon is offering over 90,000 books which you can purchase in the Kindle store at cut-rate prices, usually $9.99 a book. In addition, you can download hundreds of the best magazines, newspapers and blogs - you can get these subscriptions auto-delivered wirelessly.

"Buy a book and it is auto-delivered wirelessly to you in less than one minute."

At only 10.3 ounces the Kindle is lighter than most paperback books... it has six "Adjustable Text Sizes" which for all those aging baby boomers could be Kindle's strongest selling point and the major advantage of owning one.

There's a Glare-free screen that's usuable in bright sunlight - according to Amazon, they use:

"Paper-like Screen while utilizing a new high-resolution display technology called electronic paper, Kindle provides a crisp black-and-white screen that resembles the appearance and readability of printed paper. The screen works using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically. It reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic displays. As a result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room."

There's relatively long battery life, if you have the wireless turned off, you can read the device for a week or more without recharging. If you use the wireless, you will have to recharge approximately every other day. The Kindle takes two hours to fully recharge.
