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

I Love My Kindle
I love my kindle. It's been a great conversation piece being I do not go anywhere without it. I browse the book stores then log on to Kindle Store to compare prices on books I want to read and can download over a latte in the bookstore coffee shop. This is the greatest gift I have ever purchased for myself. I wish that amazon would offer a special sale or discount to make it a more affordable Christmas gift for my family. The Kindle is very user friendly.

My Kindle
Being able to purchase and read a book in under a minute is about the
greatest thing to come along in a long time. I love it! I have two
negative things to say. I wish the covers of the books were in color.
Also I find some my favorite authors do not have Kindle versions.
Thank you,
Terry Lee Sartin

The Ultimate Reader
This is one of the best items I have purchased in a very long time. I can read (adjusting font whenever I need), order books any time day or night and have them available in a matter of minutes. I always have my library with me in a package the size of a paperback book. Thank you so much for this product.
