AMAZON KINDLE BOOK READER - OPRAH'S FAVORITE GADGET!
Oprah Winfrey has just said the Amazon Kindle Ebook Reader is her favorite gadget! Amazon must be feeling pretty pleased with its corporate self. It has just received an endorsement from the Queen of America - the US's closest thing to royalty at the moment - Oprah Winfrey - for its Kindle Ebook Reader. For those who may not know, an Ebook Reader is an electronic device that allows you to download books wirelessly and read them on said Kindle. The particular interest of an Amazon Ebook Reader is that the screen is made so as to look like paper, so your eyes don't get tired by starting at a computer screen.

The Kindle Ebook Reader has been selling well and has generally been well-received by the book reading public. But to get an endorsement from Oprah is huge news for Amazon, I hope for their sake that they have made enough to cope with the demand. Amazon. Oprah has it displayed on her website as - Oprah's Favorite New Gadget and there is a long four-page article telling everyone how amazing the Kindle is. This is big news for Amazon as Oprah has a following of many millions. So her seal of approval will undoubtedly cause a sharp rise in sales of the Kindle particuularly in the run up for Christmas.

The Kindle Ebook Reader lets you wirelessly download books, newspapers and magazines (cost around $9 a book). It is ecological, healthy ( you don't break your back lugging around piles of books) and in the long-run might save you some money.

Amazon's share price may improve as a result of the endorsement due to the extra sales and the fact that they get paid each time someone downloads a book or magazine etc...
