The Amazon Kindle is a revolutionary ebook reader, no matter what you may think about ebooks in general. This video shows all of the features of the Kindle and gives you a feel for how it feels to use the light, thin device.

  • People stop being such ass holes. If You don't want to watch this video because it's too long and you don't have time, watch another video. Nobody is forcing you to watch this, if you want to actually give criticism, don't be such an ass about it.

    You people need to learn some respect.

  • You can carry hundreds of books in it and download new books in 1-2minutes direct to the kindle ANYWHERE that a cell phone works because it has EVDO built in. There are no contracts or fees... connectivity is in the price of the device. I can forsee more features being added to the kindle as the next gen comes out. This thing is a dedicated ebook reader, NOT a palmtop computer that doubles as an ebook reader, however, I can easily see full web browsing coming. I wish we had this in Europe.

  • you're a coo-coo :D I want one of those clocks haha

    You remind me of my English teacher

  • I love connecting with like-minded people. Add me!

  • agreed.

  • Listening to this guy is painful. He has a horrible speaking voice.

  • talk a little slower, why don't you?

  • it does indeed have a search function

  • you can use any one

  • is there only a certain type of led light you can buy that is for the kindle, or are your able to buy any other led light that you can buy in a book store like borders or barns and noble?

  • One thing that is (apparently) ignored by reviewers... SEARCH! The biggest drawback of treebooks is that even with the best index, it's almost impossible to find a specific passage by 'searching' for a word or phrase. Electronic search is the BIGGEST argument for ebooks.... but apparently (since it's not mentioned) the Kindle doesn't have a 'search' function on books installed in its memory. Curious the issue is ignored....

  • EXCELLENT REVIEW! OCD attention to detail and depth. Thanks for the Colbert book purchase demo. This should be the gold standard for product reviews ie- just show it in use, very objective. I have Ebooks on my iPhone but eye fatigue occurs with the small, bright screen.
