Kindle wireless opens new world to book lovers
Imagine having hundreds (even thousands) of books and newspaper and magazine articles available to you -– in one device that weighs about the same as an average paperback book, and is about the same size. Imagine that this cool little gadget reads like a book, no matter where you are. Can you see the advantage to having a tool like this? The Amazon Kindle wireless reading device gives avid readers these advantages and more.
What exactly is the Kindle? It’s an electronic book reader. It can store an incredible number of books in its memory, and read newspapers and magazines, too. All these are delivered to your Kindle wirelessly, effortlessly and affordably.
At 10.2 ounces, you'll find that this wonderful electronic reader is slim in profile, about as thick as a magazine, and very light to hold – it fits right in your hands. And because it's wireless, you don't need to install software or do any sort of set up – you just get it out of the box and start using it! Control buttons are located on both sides, so that when you naturally shift hands, you can still turn pages and read comfortably.
With the Amazon Kindle Wireless reading device, you can download books in about 60 seconds via Whispernet. You don't have to find a Wi-Fi hotspot, or use cables to download, and you have no monthly wireless bills to pay, or even a set-up fee, you just shop and make book purchases as you wish.
And if you're a traveler, no worries! The Kindle uses wireless technology, including 3G, that has coverage in over 100 countries around the globe. If you're abroad, you can download your newspaper or magazines to keep abreast of what's going on at home.
The Kindle can hold over 1,500 books. That's a lot of reading! And any books that you purchase from the Kindle Store are automatically backed up online, so if you remove a book or two to make room for new ones, you can re-download the older books in the future if you like.
Earlier this year (2009), Amazon and Kindle began working with textbook publishers to offer college level textbooks on the device. Still in it's early stages, Amazon Kindle Textbooks promises to make textbooks extremely convenient, very portable, and ultimately radically cheaper in price than today's high-priced college and university textbooks.
Reading is a breeze on the Kindle, because you get an electronic-ink display. This means that pages have the same readability as a “real” book. Words are crisply displayed with no glare or backlight to cause distortion.
Adjustable text size means that you can increase or decrease the size of the text you're reading to suit your needs. And the new, experimental Text-to-Speech feature lets your Amazon Kindle Wireless reading device read out loud to you.
Pages turn automatically with the read-to-me feature, so it's truly hands-free. Perfect for driving, or when you're in the middle of cooking dinner. You can even speed up or slow down the reading voice, and choose a male or female voice, too.
