Amazon’s Kindle Reader and all the kindle accessories continues to impress
The Kindle reader was released for sale in October 2007. They sold out within the first day and only five months later they came back on the market. Since the Kindle 1, the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX have been released.
The Kindle 2 has improved features such as a longer battery life, now it lasts up to a week off just one charge which takes only 4 hours. The first generation only had a 4-level grayscale screen while the Kindle 2 has a 16-level grayscale screen. The anti-glare screen enables you to read even in bright sunlight. In a Kindle reader review someone said that it looks like a page out of a book only clearer. There are buttons that turn the page on both sides of the Kindle which makes reading easy with one hand.
You can download kindle books from the Kindle store directly off your reading device in just 60 seconds via the 3G wireless network. Amazon incurs the cost of the connectivity so you do not have to pay any monthly bills or subscriptions. The Kindle has 2GB of internal memory allowing you to hold as many as 1500 eBooks in your reader.

The Kindle 2 retails at $259 which seems like a lot, but when you actually work out the difference between buying paper books which can cost as much as 50% more than an eBook, you will realise that you are definitely getting value for your money. eBooks are often released long before paperbacks so you don’t have to wait for your favourite title to be printed.
The Kindle has a built in New Oxford English Dictionary and all you have to do when you come across an unfamiliar word is hover your cursor over it and the definition will show up in the corner of the screen.
There are many impressive features that the Kindle 2 has adopted. According to the kindle reader reviews, the Kindle Reader is definitely the leader in its market.
