Well, as mentioned on my facebook a few days ago I received one of these little "kindle" reading devices this past Sunday as a gift.
I am a pretty techy person and certainly an early adopter --- but I am not sure I have ever seen anything this unique.
There are thousands of books, magazines, newspapers and blogs that can be wirelessly downloaded to this device in less than one minute.
You do not even need to hook up to a wifi signal as the "kindle" has its own built-in cell phone like signal called whispernet. It hooks up anywhere and it is free. So, the device is a bit pricey at $359 but it comes first of all with free wifi signal.
You can additionally...
- Underline, highlight and make notes on any page of any book you are reading.
- You can clip sections or pages and send them to yourself for filing or teaching.
- Ask a definition of words within an article or book.
- Load hundreds of book, magazine and blogs before you need to add an SD card.
- Search and download books right from the device with NO computer necessary.
I have just spent about 5 days with this but it has definitely excited me and re "kindled" my desire to read!
It is worth checking out my friends.
yep, love my kindle!
