What is a Kindle eBook Reader?

For millions of avid readers across the globe, the Kindle eBook reader is the future! This small, hand held electronic gadget is loved by many (even those who don’t even like gadgets) as a very unique, portable, electronic book. You can download eBooks to your Kindle within minutes (saves waiting for the postie to deliver the latest novel) and they are often available at a mere fraction of the price of a paperback. Just think, no more suitcases bulging with paperbacks when you go on your next vacation, just one little Kindle can hold them all with ease.

Kindle eBook Reader Features

The Kindle has only been around for a few years but boy has it made an impression. We’re up to 3rd generation Kindles already, and they have been the best selling and most sought after (and wished for) item on Amazon for the past two years, and they really do know a thing or two about selling books, I can tell you!

So what can you expect from a third generation Kindle?

• Kindles are light – the newest ones weigh only 8.7 oz, that’s less than your average paperback, so you won’t have trouble holding it up for hours on end (you know how it is when you get into a really good book).
• Kindles are slim – thinner than an average magazine, just a little more than 1/3″, easy to fit into your pocket or purse
• Kindles are wireless – the latest Kindles have 3G technology and built in Wi-Fi, so you can download a new book from virtually anywhere without having to pay for monthly fees
• Kindles are fast – you can have a brand new book downloaded in less than a minute, it’ll take you longer than that to decide on your next adventure
• Kindles are huge – well, I’ve already said how lightweight and slim they are, but you might be surprised to learn that they have the capacity to hold more than 3,500 books, how long would that take you to get through?
• Kindles are long lasting – you can read for up to a month without having to recharge your Kindles batteries, what a way to re-charge yours
• Kindles are clear – the high contrast display makes reading from your Kindle as easy as reading from real paper
• Kindles are economical – Kindle books are much cheaper than the printed variety
• Kindles offer choice – there are more than 620,000 books to choose from, as well as some newspapers and magazines
• Kindles are the future!
