Amazon presents: the Kindle

The Kindle is a revolutionary product that was developed and introduced by Amazon to show the world that e-books don't necessarily have to be stupid. The main goal of this product was to ease the access to eBooks, blogs, magazines and newspapers. Amazon's wireless reading device saves you the hassle of running to a traditional bookstore or to the PC each time you're interested in a new title.

Up to this point three models have been released in this family of electronic products: the Kindle, the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX. The upgraded versions are much thinner, lighter and sleeker which only increase this gadget's ultra-portability. The original version came with a storage capacity of only 256 MB that was later on increased to 2 GB.

Cool features include: huge capacity, battery life, fast search feature, font and text size adjustment, wireless connection to Amazon's online bookstore, annotations backup, built-in dictionary, ability to read chapters for free, portability and convenience.

Drawbacks include: lack of back light and color, lack of telephone service and simplistic Web browser, slow page turning.

So for 400 bucks you're getting instant wireless access to Amazon's bookstore, a wireless Web browser and an audiobook player. The device is a bit on the expensive side but hopefully Amazon will eventually drop price on this great product so it can be accessible to a lot more people.
