Why should I want a Kindle?
Because the Kindles are very useful devices. The Kindles offer several enhancements to reading such as:
Easy on the eyes: The Kindle uses e-Ink screen which is really comfortable to read. Unlike LCD screens on desktop and laptop computers, e-Ink screens are reflective (meaning no glaring backlight) and flicker-free. The e-Ink screen lets you continue reading for hours in comfort without straining your eyes. The experience is just like reading a printed paper book.
Easy to use: Simply slide one button to start reading and put it down when you're done.
Convenient & transparent: The Kindle is lightweight, holds tons of books, and doesn't get hot over a prolonged use. The Kindle operates in total silence. There is absolutely no noise, whir, or clilcks. Reading on the Kindle is therefore a distraction-free experience - Its' just you and the book.
Organize books & documents all in one place: No longer having to hunt for books, documents, or product manuals scattered all over the house. The Kindle lets you store digital copies of your books and documents all in one place.
Take your entire library with you wherever you go: The Kindle2 can store over 1,000 digital books while the DX holds more than 3,000.
Pick just the right book for the moment's mood: and read it conveniently whenever and wherever you like.
Save money: Cheaper book price, zero shipping cost**
Save space: If your house is cluttered with book cases or stacks of paperbacks, switching to the Kindle would help you save significant storage space. You can keep your old books though.
Save the trees: Unlike DTBs (Dead Tree Books), no trees need to be cut down to produce digital books. So when it comes to reading text-focused books, blogs, or newsprint, you might consider the Kindles as a more environmental-friendly alternative.
Read your book instantly after you purchase it: No need to wait for the delivery man.
Adjustable text size: Reduce or enlarge text to your comfortable size.
Read-to-Me: If you don't want to read the book yourself, the Kindle can read out loud for you!
Free books: Loads of free books available on the internet.
Free samples: of books from Amazon using the Kindle's wireless*** or Kindle for PC software
Dictionary: is built-in and very easy to use. Auto dictionary look-up is very convenient.
Search: your entire library of books using keywords.
Annotation: Take notes, comments, bookmark easily right within the Kindle and save your notes for later use.
