Amazon's eReader Kindle


I bought recently a Kindle for my wife who read a lot of books. So we thought about not buying any books again and buy therefore the electronic versions. After one day the postman brought the small package. I unpack it and charge it with the given USB cable. Then i set up the WiFi for my home net which was really easy. With a few clicks i got the first eBook and could start to read it.

My wife and i like Kindle and we wont miss it anymore. The only problem we have that we have only one Kindle so far.


Technical notes:

Kindle is very slim and lightWe bought the normal Kindle for $79 with a german menu. The display is not like a normal LCD display but you will like how clear and easy to read the text on the screen is. That makes it also impossible to read when it's dark. Like with a normal book you need light. The Kindle is very slim and lighter than the older version. It's also possible to display other formats like PDF. Your friends can send you eBooks within a special emailaddress directly to your Kindle.
