The Amazon Kindle-Wireless eBook reader
By Kalkod on Nov 19, 2007 with Comments 1
The Amazon Kindle is a wireless eBook reader that allows you to download and read books, newspapers and notable blogs on-the-go. It does not require you to first have the book downloaded on your computer, but instead allows you to buy books directly from the Kindle online store and the book gets downloaded directly to the device in approximately 1 minute. The device does not use WiFi for its internet connection, instead using the cell phone high-speed data network, EVDO. A major bonus is that you don’t pay for the wireless access, this is covered by a deal with Amazon and Sprint and accounts for the somewhat inflated Kindle price, although without an additional monthly bill this gets more acceptable.
The Kindle has only limited internet capabilities beyond buying books. You can read major US newspapers (like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post), monthly magazines (like Forbes, and Time) and notable blogs (like the Huffington Post, BoingBoing and Slashdot). It also allows you access to Wikipedia.org and has a built-in dictionary.
