Amazon, the largest online bookstore has come up with a e-book reader, which dares to revolutionalize the way people will read in future. It is called “Kindles”, so named by Bezos, to evoke a lightning spark in our brain.
Kindles is a thin and sleek e-book reader, which wirelessly connects to the 3G network (EVDO data transfer) to download ebooks,magzines, subscribe to blogs, and also a free wireless access to wikipeadia.It never needs to be connected to a computer. The reason that Amazon can give away this wireless access is because most of the time you are using it you are spending money on something at Amazon.com. A book costs $10 and a subscription to Fortune $1.50 per month. Amazingly, the company has designed the wireless service so that almost any book, even one of 1,000 pages, can download in under a minute.
It is very light weighing just about 300 grams (10.3 oz), and it replaces all the books you will ever need to carry. With 256 MB inbuilt memory, it has an expandable SD slot. Its battery life is said to go for a couple of days without recharging. If the wireless is turned off during nights, the battery extends upto a week, without having to recharge. It calls its screen(800×600) to be very convenient and the user will feel just like reading a paper. Easy to handle and has a qwerty key pad also, to quickly search through the documents.
The device, (which Jeff calls a service) is tagged at a staggering $399/-. I am pretty sure that the price is over rated. Here’s a link you can follow:
