    The Amazon Kindle reader is designed to provide with 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. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips too. 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.

Easy as taking candy from a kid!

vallain says:

I'm getting faster as I get more familiar with the modules. Not quite as fast as 5 minutes though.

mulberry says:

Well, I'm slow so it would take a bit longer for me...However, these are get tips for beginners!

Chadrew says:

I would write more text content of my own. I don't think people would like a lens of nothing but product links much.

freelief says:

Create, yes. Be satisfied enough with results to publish? No. A lot of the tools make creating quick and easy, but unique content takes some thought ... you have to give the reader something they can't get somewhere else! :)

It is a lot harder than you think!

bloomingrose says:

Not yet, although I would love to see it at a contest, like a watermelon eating contest for nerds!

sha2 says:

Not really, but the video presentation is very helpful and not so tedious or time consuming as the written version, but again for new comers its got to longer than that, but thanks anyway to your presentation.

JessieA says:

Sure but there would be a lot of pictures and very little written content...I am an editing freak LOL. Great lens!

kcgagne says:

22 lenses in 2 years for me... I'm guessing NOT! ;)

CherylK says:

Nope. As much as I'd love to do that, I just don't think that fast. :)
