Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device Online Shopping

Product Description

Introducing Kindle™ Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle. We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, you’ll find reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot, and is designed for ambidextrous use so both “lefties” and “righties” can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time. We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read. With Whispernet, you can be anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you, wherever you are. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven’t read the book for tomorrow night’s book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether you’re in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand. We’re very proud to introduce Kindle and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. - The Amazon Kindle Team

Customer Reviews

Kindle is great!
I love the Kindle. The variety of books available is fantastic. I frequently use the free sample option as a reading list. The ease of downloading the books is also a great asset. I originally purchased my Kindle in August. I have been reading books on the Kindle continuously (to the exclusion of most TV including sports) since then. This Kindle is a Christmas present for my wife. I highly recommend the Kindle to anyone who loves to read.

Best gift ever
I received the Kindle as an anniversary gift. Having lived with me for over 50 years, my husband was attuned to the fact that: (1)I always had a book on the bedside table, (2)I always carry a book in the car, (3)I usually have a paperback in my purse. Now that we are downsizing it is becoming more evident that we have no room to store our frequent book purchases. I can now carry with me as many books as I am interested in reading in one small package that is smaller than an average paperback. Plus, being able to adjust the print size is a true gift.

GREAT PRODUCT
I love the kindle. It is so easy to use and easy to read. I love that the books are easy to get and so affordable, but the down side is not all books are available for kindle use... BUT you can ask the publishor to release it to kindle. I think that the design is great and I know some people complined about the button use but it isn't bad at all. All in all, I love the kindle and would recommend it to anyone!
