About the Amazon Kindle
Looking at the Amazon Kindle
By the numbers, the Amazon Kindle is designed to be just like every paperback book you've ever read. The device has a 6 inch reading display, is a simple 1/3 of an inch thick, and weighs just 10 ounces. The Kindle has a white shell, and you can buy a variety of covers to change it if you'd rather have something else.
The device offers wireless access from everywhere, with delivery straight to your Kindle in 60 seconds or less. Because it uses 3G internet, it's almost the same thing as having a cell phone. You don't need to go to a hotspot to connect your Kindle, it is always active. What's more, this coverage is not just in the United States but offered around the world.
In addition, when it comes to the goods, the device uses e-Ink, giving it a paper like look that never offers glare. As a side product of this, the device also has incredible battery life, with one charge lasting up to a week or more. The Amazon Kindle also has enough built in hard disk space to hold 1,500 books at any time.
For people with seeing difficulties, or who just prefer books on tape, the device also enables almost every book to be reader to you using the Amazon "Read-To-Me" service. Lastly, the book provides access to over 1.8 million free books that have passed their copyright date. The options available in this manner include Sherlock Holmes, Sense and Sensibility and literally millions more. You're also able to download the first chapters of books as free samples to decide if you want to buy them or not.
Lastly, the Amazon Kindle is priced at $189 and can be found at Amazon.com and Target stores.
