The New Imporoved Kindle eBook Reader
In the past decade or so, there had been many failed attempts at making our reading become smoother and faster. That's until online book retailer Amazon came along and again made the difference in enhancing the reading experience, with a reading device called the Kindle Portable Reader. In deft fashion, its extraordinary features for reading are complemented by its novel way of acquiring the very content.
The Kindle Electronic Book Reader is engineered to download blogs, books, newspapers, and magazines. Periodicals are automatically sent to the device. Technology has afforded us with a very practical alternative to holding a book, magazine or other reading material and turning from one page to another. The Amazon Kindle is indeed powerful and is only surpassed by its successor the Kindle 2.
The Kindle Portable Reader is designed to operate on its own. It is connected directly to the Amazon Whispernet through 3G technology for media flow, synching and even internet browsing. There's no service plan, contracts or bills to worry about because this feature is paid for by Amazon. About the only cost upon the user is power consumption on the battery; recharging every 4 to 5 days of continuous operation as opposed to 2 weeks with the wireless turned off.
The Amazon Whispernet wireless service is a one-of-a-kind delivery system which enables users to obtain any e-book on its library within a minute. This facility is currently not available outside the US but those who have had a taste of the electronic book reader would know that it's a matter of time that it becomes so. US users can download and sample the beginning pages of books for free before deciding whether to purchase the book or not.
Appearance-wise, this portable reader is as impressive as its capabilities. The crisp black-and-white screen could easily be mistaken for some fine-grade printed paper. The high-tech virtual ink is designed to be just like real ink-on-paper in terms of appearance and readability so much so that there is no backlighting either. Therefore, it would not be difficult to read in bright sunlight and the screen never heats up so you don't have to limit how long you should be reading on that account.
Furthermore, Whispernet makes use of Amazon's optimized technology plus Sprint's national high-speed (EVDO) data network for users to wirelessly search, download, synch and read content. The maiden Kindle has been further enhanced into the Kindle 2. By seriously considering user feedback on the original Kindle, Amazon is gratefully able to come up with an even more impressive wireless reading device for its readers now.
