Amazon’s Kindle Reading DoohickeyI was looking for a book on Amazon today and found this - the Kindle. It’s a very cool gadget that lets you store and read hundreds of books in one easy to use, easy to carry device. Is this the future of reading? I hope not entirely - I love digital, but the smell and weight of a good book just gets me every time. I don’t know about you, but curling up on the couch with a Kindle… ??? Still, the Kindle is cool, see for yourself.

If you would like to read the FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION just click the link, or the picture.

Here are a few of the features I liked:

  1. You can buy best sellers for under $10 and they’re digitally delivered to your Kindle in about a minute.
  2. Your Kindle can hold about 200 books
  3. You can have newspapers delivered to your Kindle while you sleep, no more trudging down the driveway in the snow!
  4. Blogs you subscribe to are updated automatically.
  5. No monthly wireless bills, service plans, or commitments because Amazon takes care of the wireless delivery so you can simply click, buy, and read.
  6. It weighs less than a typical book!
  7. It makes coffee… actually I made that up.
  8. But you can email your Word documents and pictures to Kindle for easy on-the-go viewing.

There are many more cool features, and some excellent video demonstrations on the Amazon website. The price point for this puppy is around 4 C notes… And for those of you who don’t know the Roman number system C = 100 :)
