Discuss the Kindle

2008-06-22T20:29:00.000-07:00

Ok, maybe you don't need to go out and actually see a Kindle for whatever reason. Let me put you in touch with Kindle owners over the internet:

Try the Amazon Kindle Forum. It's an honest place to hear honest talk about the Kindle. You may find posts and responses like this from M.Jacobs in Georgia:

"I'm ashamed to admit this but I love my Kindle so much that I have actually purchased books to read on the Kindle even though I already have them on my shelf. I can't carry my bookshelf with me but I've always got my Kindle."

How about the MobileRead forums . Lot's of great info here including info on downloading ebooks for your Kindle. You might stumble upon this message from MobileRead forum member Honeybunny from Indiana:

" I live and work in a very heavily Amish area. I was eating lunch in the local 'country' sit-down restaurant, reading my Kindle. One of the Amish waitresses came up and said "Ooooh! Is that one of those Kindle book things??" "

You are never far from discussing and learning about the Kindle!

Seeing Is Believing

I know there is a contingent of people that , as a general rule, despise buying things sight unseen, unfelt, unheard or unsmelled online. Since there are no 'Amazon stores' and the Kindle is not sold in normal electronic retailer outlets like Best Buy for instance, Amazon has created a way to see, feel touch and smell the Kindle! They have created an online forum for prospective Kindle owners to see the device in person by connecting with Kindle owners. There are meetups and requests for meetups in cities and towns all throughout the United States. If your sceptical go ahead and meet a Kindle today!

A New Era In Reading

2008-06-12T18:01:00.000-07:00

The Kindle is a new electronic reader by Amazon. It ushers in a new era for the human race. Man first invented the written word. Gutenberg invented movable type and that invention changed the world forever. With the marriage of computers and the written word, the stage is set for the Kindle to spark a revolution in reading like we have never seen!

The Kindle is designed to be held like a book as its size is about that of an average paperback (7.5 x 5.3 x 0.7 inches). it is lightweight at 10.4 ounces.

It has a six inch display screen that uses remarkable technology by a company called E-ink. The display actually looks like printed words on paper rather then a computer screen!

It can hold about 200 books and the battery lasts about 30 hours on a charge. It takes about two hours to recharge.

You do NOT need to connect it to a computer to download new books. It has a system by Sprint called Whispernet that allows you to connect anywhere to the Amazon store not just at WiFi hot spots.

THERE ARE NO MONTHLY FEES! including fees for the wireless network.

There are over 100,000 books available to download and the list is growing EVERYDAY. You can also subscribe to newspapers, magazines and blogs. There are many resources for downloading free e-Books on line that I will be discussing latter.

But don't listen to me, watch the following video featuring best selling authors talk about the Kindle and hear how ground breaking it is!
