The amazing Amazon Kindle is truly a revolution in reading. With this lightweight portable reading device, you can download books, newspapers and magazines all with a push of a button. It is completely mobile and wireless. You can catch up on the latest news or dive into your favorite book while camping, at the beach, or waiting at the doctors office. The Kindle is definitely for book lovers, tech geeks and gadget freaks like me. I travel a lot so the Kindle was an obvious choice for me because it is lightweight, portable, and can store up to 200 books (I tend to read a couple at time). What I like best is that it has an online dictionary, wireless access to Wikipedia and NO MONTHLY Fee (unless you have a subscription to a Blog, Newspaper or Magazine).
Downloading books takes just a couple of minutes and the selection available from Amazon is enormous (currently over 120,000 books)
Why Buy the Kindle?
Just like at the bookstore, you maybe read the back cover and flip through a few pages to get the gist of the book. Well you can do even more with the Amazon Kindle! The Kindle lets you download and read the beginning of the books for Free! If you like what you see, then you buy it.
What is even better is that you can read amazon book reviews to see what other people are saying about the book. You can't do that at the bookstore!
