The Kindle is a revolutionary electronic-paper display that provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper. It is both simple to use and the battery can last almost a week in non-wireless mode. It can hold up to 200 titles and weighs less than one pound. There are no cables and no computer.
To quote Amazon, "We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read."
Amazon says that they have almost 200,000 books available for the Kindle, and they can be downloaded wirelessly in about a minute per book. They even supply free book samples which contain chapters from selected books.
If books are not enough, how about many of the top U.S. based newspapers like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, or top magazines like TIME, Atlantic Monthly, and Forbes. They even have some international newspapers from France, Germany, and Ireland.
What really surprised me was the fact that the Kindle also has access to almost 1,000 of the top blogs from business, technology, sports, entertainment, and politics. Again, available wirelessly.
The final surprise is the ability to email word documents to your Kindle.
