The Kindle electronic book reader is a part of many people's lifestyles these days. It's even supposed to be considered cool to be seen reading on the subway or in a restaurant. With it, you'll never run out of books to read. And if you like to read multiple books at one time then this is your lucky day. The Kindle reader appears to be here to stay.
From one Kindle review to another, the device is generally described as a state-of-the-art mobile eBook reader which is connected with Amazon online bookstores and other amenities all across the US. Kindles form the major part of all of Amazon e-reading business. The remarkable part is that they still retain the natural feel and display of the conventional print on paper.
The Original Kindle uses two buttons for the power and sleep modes with each having their own seperate button. Kindle 2 has one slider switch that controls both. Kindle 2 has something that the Original Kindle does not have which is text to speech. If you like to have books read aloud to you the Kindle 2 has that feature with two small speakers on the back at the bottom. It has a computer sounding voice which you can choose from either male or female, and can control the speed in which it is read. This is a huge plus if your eyes get tired from too much reading.
Besides the good looks, the new generation Kindle is also full of superb functional features. The ergonomics are superb as well, having had the problems ironed out as far as shortcomings the original version endured. This technological marvel has now been packaged into a thing of beauty and functionality with accident-proof buttons, smooth rocker controls, standard keyboard and stylish overall layout.
If the Kindle looks great that's a bonus, not the original idea. Seriously, it's supposed to just disappear into the reading. Like a good paper-back book, it is meant to be held for longer periods of time comfortably. The technology packed into the Kindle is very definitely worth a mention.
The trademark feature of the Kindle reader has to be its Whispernet wireless service. So far, it's the only eBook reader equipped with this facility. Readers are in constant touch with the bookstore and subscriptions plus synchronized with other devices associated with their Kindles through its Whispersync network and all this is provided for free by Amazon. The service is powered by 3G technology so it doesn't have to be within any hotspot zone to be functional.
Most Kindle review sites will not fail to mention 2 things and these are the price and the size of the library. At a cost of around $400, it could be steep for some but if you're into reading, the 275,000 books available will be a huge advantage and all offered at a discounted price. Whether it's worth the money or not is a personal thing and if Amazon has its way, any book that's ever printed will have an e-version for the Kindle in future. That's a lot of books for anyone who reads at all!
