Kindle Wireless Reading Device
The new kindle is a must for all book enthusiasts. It is as slim as most of the magazines, just 1/3 of an inch thick and weighs 10.2 ounces, lighter than a typical paperback. With built in 3G network, you can download books right from your Kindle. There are no annual contracts, no monthly fees and no hunting for a Wi-Fi hotspots. 3G network is available in over 100 countries so you can enjoy this wireless connection at home and abroad.
The feature I like the most is paper-like display so you can read it like a paper without glare, even in bright sunlight.You can store as many as 1,500 books and battery lasts a long time. You can read it for days without constant recharging. The experimental Read-To-Me Text-To-Speech feature allows your Kindle to read newspapers, magazines, blogs and books out loud. Some book’s rights holders can make this feature unavailable but it in most cases it is available.
Kindle features an extensive library of books with over 360,000 to chose from including 101 of 112 New York Times Best Sellers. In addition there is a large library of U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs.
New York Times Best Sellers and New Releases are $9.99, unless marked otherwise. When traveling, you can use your wireless connection to download from Kindle store or your Archived Items. There is a $1.99 fee for U.S. customers for international downloads.
Kindle is availiable in in 2 sizes, 6″ and 9.7″ screen. The bigger Kindle DX with 9.7″ screen does not have international wireless coverage. It stores up to 3,500 books and retails for $489.00 according to Amazon.com. 6″ Kindle retails for $259.00.
In a summary, Kindle is a great gadget for everyone who likes to read books. It’s unique and portable design allows anyone to carry many books and read them any time. Kindle is a perfect Christmas Gift.
