Kindle: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device

Will Santa bring you a Kindle this year? The Kindle
is Amazon's new portable reading device that lets you
wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and
newspapers.

From Amazon.com:

"We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience.
Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology,
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..."

And Kindle will kindle your desire to purchase books from Amazon.
Kindle lets you download and read the beginning of books for
free and, if you like what you read, you can download with
Amazon's "1-Click" purchase feature directly from Kindle.
You can also try out and subscribe to newspapers and magazines,
including The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the
Washington Post and Time.
