A convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.

At 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than typical paperbacks, and fits easily in one hand. Its built-in memory stores hundreds of titles. An optional SD memory card lets you hold even more. From Melville to Morrison, your favorite authors can always be with you.

In addition, a copy of every book you purchase is backed up online in Your Media Library in case you ever need to download it again. This allows you to make room for new titles on your device, knowing that Amazon is storing your personal library, which can always be re-downloaded wirelessly. If you are out of wireless coverage, such as traveling overseas, you can download books to your computer from Your Media Library and transfer via USB to your Kindle. Think of it as a bookshelf in your attic—even though you don't see it, you know your books are there.

I love to read. And I don't always want to sit at the computer.

Reduce your paper-trail by reading with a Kindle.

I love the kindle, why isn't it advertised more for children,
I hated to read, but by changing the font size and the words per line, I now look foward to reading everyday. It's opened a whole new world for me.

definitely useful for traveling or bringing into the back of a lecture hall to read while your prof. is speaking (who me?). thumbs up ;)

I love this. No more stacks of books collecting dust...download them all here (newspapers too), I take it with me everywhere absolutely awesome.
