Kindle - The Electronic Paper
Amazon.com introduced Kindle™. Now you can take your paper and your library with you wherever you want. It also reads blogs and personal documents.
Kindle is a wireless device that can get your daily newspaper delivered to you every morning without you getting up and stepping out the door. In addition to newspapers, Kindle also allows to obtain books from Amazon’s Kindle Store and blogs from the internet instantly.
Kindle uses free high-speed data network (EVDO) so you never have to locate a hot-spot, no wireless bills and no contracts and as a complement, you get free access to Wikipedia.org whenever you want. Kindle does not require connection to a computer.
Battery life is long and weight is only 10.3 ounces, less than the weight of a typical paperback, convenient for travelling and commuting. With the wireless capability on, it needs to be recharged approximately every other day and with wireless feature off, you can read for a week or more before recharging. Battery fully recharges in about 2 hours.
The best feature about this gadget is its no-glare screen. The display is 6″ diagonal E-Ink® electronic paper so it feels like a real paper plus benefits of search, bookmarks, annotations, and built-in dictionary. This easy to use device can also make use of an additional SD card in addition to its internal memory that can hold about 200 titles.
The price tag on Kindle is $399.00 (includes two-day shipping) but due to heavy demand, Kindle is temporarily sold out at Amazon.com but they’re offering reservation if you pre-order. To learn more about Amazon Kindle, please visit the Kindle detail page on Amazon.com
