If you haven't heard of The Amazon Kindle (now the Kindle 2), then please allow me to introduce you to one of the most exciting products to come around in ages for those who love to read.
What is so great about the Amazon Kindle?
- First and foremost, imagine being able to find a book you want to read on Amazon and having it shipped to you IMMEDIATELY. No, I don't mean through snail mail, but have said volume in your hands seconds after ordering.
- Unlike reading on a laptop or computer monitor, Amazon Kindle's electronic paper looks just like a book should. No eye strain. No need for a backlight.
- It's small and portable and you can carry more than one book with you at a time. In fact, you can carry hundreds.
- Not only can you read books, but newspapers, magazines and even popular blogs.
- To buy books, you won't need to find a wi-fi area. Amazon's Whispernet allows you to order books from anywhere.
- It's green! Okay, I know you're saying, "No! It's white!" But seriously, with all the paper you'll be sparing by reading your newspapers, books and magazines on the Kindle, you could consider yourself on the brink of a revolution!
The Kindle allows you to carry your library with you where you go! How cool is that?
I believe that the Kindle Reader is an excellent example of a technology that asks us to rethink the way we read books, and all other written medium for that matter.

Isn't it interesting that the Kindle is called the "Kindle"? Reminiscent of Bradbury and the burning of books isn't it...
