Amazon Kindle: iPod for Books
Posted by admin under: Main Nov 22
Amazon’s Kindle may become the iPod for books. Search for a book on Kindle. Buy it and it’s delivered to your Kindle portable wireless reader in less than a minute. Bestsellers are $9.99 or less. Access 90,000 (and counting) books, US and international newspapers, magazines and blogs. Lightweight (10.3 ounces). E Ink reads like print. Pick your font size. Stores something like 200 books (my vacation book bag just got a lot lighter). Add an SD memory card to hold more. No wires. Battery lasts for days. No service plans or commitments. Kindle also has a web browser. Books are not dead. They’ve just been digitally re-Kindled. But will book lovers buy it? (Kindle sold out in just over 5 hours)
eBooks were supposed to replace paper books some years ago. Has the time finally come?
Price: $399
