Welcome the Kindle. In an increasingly digital world, it makes sense that the printed word would follow suit and venture from the printed page to the electronic page...welcome the wireless reader!
With the advent of the Amazon Kindle the world of technology fuses with the literary realm to create a streamlined, beautiful, convenient new approach to enjoying your reading.
The Amazon Kindle brings the world of book publishing into the future. A revolutionary concept, the Kindle is effectively an electronic book - but the best of its kind to have ever been designed. Its electronic-paper display offers a sharp, clear picture on its high-resolution screen, and it looks and reads like real paper. It's simple and efficient to use, as it doesn't require a computer or cables, and doesn't need to be synched. It works wirelessly, allowing you to connect to the Kindle Store and shop for books from anywhere - the airport, a coffee shop, or in the comfort of your own home. If you make a book purchase, you can enjoy what you bought virtually immediately - the book will be auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle in less than one minute.
New York Times Best Sellers from the Kindle store are all $9.99 per download, unless they are marked otherwise.
If you're potentially interested in a particular book but not sure you want to commit to a purchase at the time, you can download the book's first chapter for free before you decide to buy, and it'll be delivered to your Kindle within 60 seconds. Wow, this just keeps getting better.
For those people who love to read the paper with their morning coffee, or perhaps while on the train or subway on the commute to work, all the top U.S. newspapers are available for easy download as well. The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington Post, and more.
The top blogs you read religiously are also at your fingertips. More than 300 from the worlds of technology, entertainment, sports, politics, and business are all ready for auto-delivery. Some of those included are Slashdot, BoingBoing, ESPN's Bill Simmons, TechCrunch, Michelle Malkin, The Onion, and The Huffington Post. Best of all, the blogs are updated to your Kindle for you wirelessly throughout the course of the day, and you don't have to lift a finger - the updates come automatically.
The Amazon Kindle is not only user-friendly and beautifully efficient, but it's also light weight and thin - smaller, in fact, than your typical paperback book. The Kindle weighs in at a svelte 10.3 ounces. It can also hold more the 200 titles at the same time. It has an unusually long battery life - you can leave the wireless function on and recharge it as infrequently as once every other day, even with constant use. If you turn the wireless off, the Amazon Kindle will stay charged for a week or more as you enjoy your literature. The Kindle also fully recharges in as little as 2 hours.
The Kindle... the abilty to place complete libraries in the palm of your hand.
Buy yours here!
This is very innovative.
