What is Kindle? if you haven’t heard of it yet, you will soon. Kindle is one of the hottest electronic gadgets since the iPod. Even as the iPod revolutionized the way we listen to music, the Kindle is revolutionizing how we read books, newspapers, and magazines. The Kindle is a thin, lightweight, electronic book reader. It sounds kind of boring, until you see one or hold one in your hand. That is when you begin to realize the power of this amazing device.
Amazon, the net’s largest bookseller, created this device to make it easier to get books to its customers. It uses 3G cell phone technology to allow you to download a book anywhere where you can use a cell phone. The average book takes less than 60 seconds to download. Currently, you can choose from over 300,000 books in the Kindle library as well as many leading newspapers and magazines. Amazon’s ultimate goal is to allow you to do this with every book ever written.
You can download a book to your Kindle for roughly 1/3 the cost of buying the book at the bookstore. this allows the device to pay for itself quickly if you are an avid reader. The Kindle screen simulates the look of paper. It doesn’t strain your eyes the way a computer screen does. It also can be read in bright sunlight without any glare.
You can adjust the text size to make it easier for you to read. Let’s see you do that with a book. It even has a Read-To-Me Feature that allows you to listen to a book, rather than just reading it. You can turn pages back and forth quickly with thumb controls on each side of the device.
The only thing that disappointed me was the voice of the Read-To-Me feature. It is that electronic computer voice that has been used for years in text-to-voice applications. hopefully, as technology improves, the voice on future Kindles will improve as well.
