The Amazon Book Reader was the preeminent e-Reader. With the Amazon Kindle Amazon has become king. Find out why.
Electronic book readers are nothing new. Over the past decades, many have actually tried but failed, until Amazon that is. Ever since the Amazon Kindle, it's actually groovy again to be reading. By and large, it is in vogue especially among the executive and academic ranks. Everyone would want one, for whatever reasons; work needs, status symbol, lifestyle and what not..... Whether you're pro or against it, it captures your attention!
With the launch of Kindle 2 Amazon Book Reader has integrated the entire business of e-reading. The eBook reader is not only filled with smart features, it's also connected and mobile just like the cellular phone. It is essentially a cellular eBook reader in that it has wireless coverage anywhere in the US for Amazon bookstores plus browsing text-centric websites like Wikipedia, Google and others.
Besides the good looks, the new generation Kindle is also flush with supreme functional features. The ergonomics is superb too, having been ironed out of whatever shortcomings the original version endured. This technological marvel has now been packaged into a thing of beauty and functionality with accident-proof buttons, smooth rocker controls, standard keyboard and stylish overall layout.
Although the Kindle is likely to attract quite a bit of attention, that's not the intention of the design upon the reader. The objective was in fact to get the reader 'lost in your reading, not the technology'. It has so gallantly replicated the feature of a good physical book to disappear while you're reading it but can't put it down except it's now can't put the Kindle down.
The most distinctive feature of the Amazon eBook Reader is the Whispernet. This is a wireless service for acquiring content and some degree of internet access. It also carries the Whispersync feature which links other Kindles and its associated devices such as the iPhones and iPods plus others in the future. When you Buy Kindle 2, Amazon will pay for the lifetime connectivity of the particular e-reader. The network is 3G-based so it doesn't have to be in a hotspot to operate.
Most Kindle review sites will not fail to mention 2 things: the price and the size of the library. At a cost of the better part of $ 400, it could be steep for some but if you're into reading, the 275,000 books available will beckon at a discounted price. Whether it's worth the money or not is an individual thing and if Amazon has its way, any book that's ever printed will have an e-version for the Kindle in future. That's a lot of books!
