The Kindle E-Book Reader
The Kindle is the top selling electronic book reader available today. It’s compact, light weight, inexpensive and easy to read.

The electronic book or e-book is the wave of the future. Colleges are already making use of e-books in addition to or instead of paper text books. You can download the e-textbook and save it to your Kindle. No more carrying heavy text books around. This is going to be a thing of the past. The Kindle only weighs 8.5 ounces and can store 3,500 e-books. It’s easy to store in a backpack or handbag. The Kindle measures 7.5″ x 4.8″.
The new Kindle has an improved display that uses a high contrast E Ink display with Pearl Technology. This makes it easier to read no matter what the lighting conditions are. 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. The Kindle is full of surprises. How versatile it that?
You can also share your favorite passages via the integration with Facebook and Twitter. Now keep everyone in the loop. There is a brand new and improved PDF reader included on the Kindle. It allows you to read, highlight, make notes and use a Dictionary Lookup feature.
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.
The Kindle makes reading fun and that’s what we want for our kids.
