Amazon Kindle Will Change The Habit Of Reading Books In Future
Ranked #1,731 in Tech & Geek, #44,689 overall
The Amazon Kindle is A Hit
Weighing only 10.3 ounces, the Amazon Kindle is lighter than most paperbacks and all hardcover books, easy to hold in your hands and slips easily into your briefcase or handbags. It is because of its lightweight that the Kindle is the most convenient to handle even with one hand.
Durability. Being lightweight and portable, users on the go are most likely to easily drop and damage their Amazon Kindle. Fear no more. The Amazon Kindle has gone through a durability test that it can survive a traditional drop. You can see the video of the drop test on Amazon Kindle website.
The ease of cleaning helps to extend the life and use of your Kindle if you spill crumbs and small amount of liquid onto its surface.
The Kindle is equipped with Whispernet to use Sprint's data network to connect to Amazon Kindle store on the go. This means users can purchase e-book without the use of a computer or cables. What I like about the Kindle is it allows you to download the first few chapters of a book for free for you to read and then you decide later if you wish to purchase the rest of the book. There are thousands of books available - enough to download some to keep yourselves occupied on that long haul flight, road or train journeys.
If you are a writer, you should use Kindle's popularity to your advantage. Write an e-book, register for a free Amazon.com account, visit the digital text platform, enter in your product description, convert your e-book to digital text, set your selling price, and publish. Within 24 hours, your book should be listed for sale on Amazon.com. According to their Terms and Conditions, you get 35% royalties from each sale.

Hello BizSquid,
Your lens is chock full of firsthand information and it's an awesome design. Do to limited funds, I've been counting on amazon user reviews to get into the personal details of the Kindle 2.
I added a link to this on my http://www.squidoo.com/KindleTwo lens, and would love it if you would like to join two new groups I formed today.
http://www.squidoo.com/groups/Kindle2
http://www.squidoo.com/groups/eReaders
The idea is to get some interlense links cooking for all the Kindle 2, and eReader interest/info we squid members have.
