Amazon Kindle E-Book Reader Review - Still #1!

What do I love about my Kindle? With so many features, I'll focus on my top five. First of all, the selection of downloadable books from Amazon is amazing--over 630,000 books! Plus, I can browse the Amazon Kindle Store with free 3G wireless and download books in seconds. Third, it is light and portable wherever I go. As a frequent traveler, I can take my entire library with me all in this compact, thin device. My carry-on luggage has gone from a backpack filled with books to a purse with my Kindle. My fourth favorite feature is the build-in pdf reader
. I used to have to read my e-books in pdf format on my computer, but now I take them with me on the go. Lastly, I use the highlighting and my notes feature to save my favorite passages and make notes to myself for future reference. No more flipping through hundreds of pages to find something!

The beauty of the Kindle E-Book Reader comes from it's simplicity. Designed with the on-the-go reader in mind, it is the definite winner in my book.

There are a few Kindle models available now. The least expensive 6-inch Kindle with Wi-Fi
is now only $79!

The next model up is the new 6-inch Kindle Touch with Wi-Fi for $99. The Kindle Touch model with global FREE 3G service is $149.

As with all technology, the price tends to go down after more people purchase a product. The Kindle was the first quality portable reader device to win the market, and it is still a favorite.

Holiday shopping time is coming soon, and the new lower price now makes the Kindle very affordable. The best Christmas gift for almost any reader can actually save you money in the long term. Most downloadable books from the Kindle Store are $9.99 or less. For an avid reader who is used to spending $20-$30 for new releases, this can be a substantial savings over time.

Remember that during holiday shopping time, the Kindle may be on back order, especially with the new price drop. Make sure to pre-order today to get your shopping done early so you won't be left without one!

The Kindle Store is where you can download not only your favorite books, but magazines, newspapers, and blogs. The best sellers are only a few clicks away, most for only $9.99. You can walk by the bookstores in the airport, selling new releases at $20-$30. Instead of fighting with the pages of your favorite newspapers and magazines, download them to your Kindle and stay up to date, often for less than buying the printed paper versions. Plus, you get a 14-day free trial of all magazines.

You can also find 1.8 million free e-books in the Kindle Store, classics you can return to after many years or that you never got around to reading. Many books prior to 1923 that are out of copyright are available in the public domain now, for your enjoyment.

"My first impression of Kindle's screen was: 'That's a screen?! It doesn't look like a screen.' When I got my own, I had the same impression again. It looks like a book page, only perfect. No grain or pulp." -Jeremy

"I love how the screen really looks like a page, because I do work at a computer all day, and the last thing I want to look at is another screen."
-Amy P.

"I found the contrast to be soothing and I was able to read in direct sunlight with no glare." -M. H.

"I use my Kindle for reading in bed and sitting at my desk. I also did a test read while sitting in full sun and the screen is even more readable."
-Dallas M.

"Everyone who has seen my Kindle is amazed at the clarity of the screen, ease of use, and plethora of features."-R.L.S.
