You will always have a clear and crisp page to read. The Kindle screen is matte finished to prevent glare from direct sunlight.  It’s just like reading a newspaper or paper book. A soft matte reading surface.

The Kindle is super light weight, about the same as a paperback book…8.5 oz. It will never weigh you down and hurt your arms like thick hardcover books do. No more backaches from carrying several books around to college or high school. The Kindle can hold all of you books and more…about 3,500 books. That’s huge!

The Kindle is battery operated like a laptop but the battery lasts a lot longer. Typical laptops and tablets last about 3-5 hours before needing to be recharged. The kindle is super efficient and does not need to be charged but once per month. That’s right! The Kindle will run on it’s battery for a full month without needing to be recharged. That’s really amazing!

Here’s something really fantastic! The Kindle now comes with built-in WiFi. Now you can download books at your favorite coffee shop or anywhere there is wireless Internet service. It’s a snap. You can download a book in about 60 seconds depending on the Internet speed. That’s fast! There is also a new browser for the Kindle which will enable you to surf the web too.

How about Text to Speech software? Yes, the Kindle now has software that can read English books to you. Just close your eyes and listen.

There are over 800,000 e-books available for the Kindle. You can buy them online at the Kindle Store and download them immediately to your device and most books are only $9.99. There are over 1.8 million free books to download that are out-of-copyright. Here’s something really neat. You can download a sample from a book that you are interested in. The sample contains several chapters so you can get a taste of what the book is like before you buy it. Cool huh?

Page numbers have been added to the Kindle so that you can follow along with the paper book.

Soon all schools will be converting to e-books. It just makes sense and it’s Earth friendly. Let’s save the trees and make it easier for kids to carry books around.
