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

So Easy
Overall, I think the device and service are very well thought out. When the device arrived it was already registered to my Amazon account, making its use amazingly simple. Within a minute I was reading book I wanted to purchase.
I find the text very easy on my eyes and use it outdoors in the sun just like a regular book.
Having newspapers and magazines delivered to the device automatically each morning makes it perfect and I expect to get a great deal of use out of the device.
Altogether I find the convenience and ease of use greatly out weigh the cost of the device.

Amazon Kindle
It remains to be seen whether the Kindle can make a big dent in paper type reading materails. It's certainly handy. My daughter is a flight attendant; the device is excellent for her because of small size, portability, and ease of downloading books.

Kindle brought back my love for books
I used to be such an avid reader of books but having moved a few years back to a smaller place, I didn't have the room to take all my books out of storage. I found myself reading less and less.

But the Kindle changed all that. It is so convenient having all of the books you are interested in at your fingertips on the Kindle whenever and wherever you want to read. I have rediscovered my love for reading again.
