Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI73MA?ie=UTF8&tag=best-youtube-20&a...

Introducing Kindle™
Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.

We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindles screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both "lefties" and "righties" can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

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, youll 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.

With Whispernet, you can be almost anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Havent read the book for tomorrow nights book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether youre in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand.

And because we know you can't judge a book by its cover, Kindle lets you download and read the beginning of books for free. This way, you can try it out—if you like it, simply buy and download with 1-Click, right from your Kindle, and continue reading. Want to try a newspaper as well? All newspaper subscriptions start with a risk-free two-week trial.

Kindles paperback size and expandable memory let you travel light with your library. With the freedom to download what you want, when you want, we hope youll never again find yourself stuck without a great read.

We're very proud to introduce Amazon Kindle and we hope you like it as much as we do.

They're not saying Wikipedia is free, they're saying ACCESS to it is free. That's kind of a huge deal on a wireless device. You have to pay to access the internet on other wireless devices.

And of course it's black and white. Why wouldn't it be? What, the books you read have big pretty pictures you want to see in full color? If it did have color they'd have to use a different screen technology, which would take away from the paper-like look to it. That would make reading more irritating.

Could you download 3000 copies of real books into your house at a click? Just downloaded every book written by Stephen King, readable on my kindle.

[Devilboy267]

i'd rather have a real book tbh..

[LeeroyFan101]

Real books are better. Not only are they cool for decoration but you can lend them out not to mention they last for years. This thing kinda looks like it would snap in 2 if you sat on it.
