Product Description Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device
Introducing Kindle™ Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle. We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, you’ll find reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot, and is designed for ambidextrous use so both “lefties” and “righties” can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time. We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read. With Whispernet, you can be anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you, wherever you are. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven’t read the book for tomorrow night’s book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether you’re in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand. We’re very proud to introduce Kindle and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. - The Amazon Kindle Team

Customer Reviews Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device
New electronic reader user I love my new kindle! It reads just like a book, and the convenience of having my daily newspaper and blogs delivered instantly is amazing. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who spends a lot of time reading, or feels guilty about all the wasted unrecycled paper that is produced.
Great concept. Poor execution!! First of all, let me say that I love this little thing. It's easy to shop for what you want to read and to carry and a great concept. However, mine is going back for 2 reasons. The design is poorly executed. Unless the Whisper is supported by another platform there is almost no way to hold the reader without unwanted toggling back and forth amongst pages. If you try to hold it with your hand, you WILL toggle the pages. 2) There is no backlighting. I don't care what the concept was to produce the pages the same shade as whatever they are supposed to be. You need good lighting to read with it and this reader has none. In my mind, the lighting concept was as deficient as the support concept. That is to say, there isn't any. True, you could use a small reading light. But priced where this unit is, nope, figure out how to light it without the lamp on top of it. If the unit was $100 or so, I'd probably keep it. I do enjoy it. But priced where it is, IT IS NOT A VALUE PURCHASE!! Needs redesigning. It's going back! Hope this helps.
My world has changed I had been looking at the Kindle since it came out. I finally bought it when the price came down just a little bit... I could not wait any longer. I think my favorite feature is the "whisper-net". I can be anywhere and get a book delivered right "in my lap" in minutes. I have also wanted to subscribe to an international newspaper, but always found it rather invonveniantely set up through normal mail. The news would get to me so much later. Now with the Kindle this is all in the past. I get the Frankfurter Allgemeine delivered to me without having any delays. I read a few of the reviews on this item before I bought it. I think the only one I might really agree on is the "next page" button on the right hand side of the Kindle. It is rather easy pushing it by accident, but having said that... it takes a second to push the "back page" if that happens. All in all, one of my best purchases ever!
