Kindle 2 Ebook Reader

How many times have you been waiting in line, on a long car ride, traveling by plane, or waiting in the doctor's office bored out of your mind? A good book might help to pass the time. But wait! I don't have any good books to bring or I didn't have a chance to go out and buy that best seller I've been wanted to read. Now what?

Alas, with the new Kindle 2 from Amazon you never have to worry about forgetting that book or not having the time to buy a new one. With its innovative wifi technology you can wirelessly access the online database filled with over 230,000 books anytime, almost anywhere. While you're sitting there bored you can simply access the store and download a new book in less that 60 seconds! What's even better is that you can access this store without there being wifi available in that area because Kindle 2 has its own wifi capabilities. This means that even if you cannot get online with your laptop because there's no available internet in your location, you will still be able to access the online store with Kindle 2!

It's an unfortunate truth that 40% of Americans will read the equivalent of less than one book this year. Maybe you are one of these people, I know I am. I may not pick up a novel for a pleasure read very often, but everyday I read news articles, magazines, and rss feeds. If you're like me you may not be leaping for joy just because you can access thousands of books easier than ever before, but what if I told you that you can also access your favorite newspapers,magazines, and blogs with Kindle 2?

You read that correctly. With Kindle 2 you can subscribe to newspapers (international included), magazines, and blogs. Wouldn't it be nice to have your newspaper organized all on one small device you can easily take with you rather than the bulky mess you've been carrying around all these years? What about the fact that your paper will be delivered to you every morning from the comfort of your home, or even your office. No more buying the paper every morning from the gas station or picking it out of a puddle where it was inevitably tossed!

Below is a list of the many features that the Kindle 2 brings:

• 1/3 of an inch thick, as thin as most magazines


• 10.2 ouces, lighter than the average paperback


• 3G wireless let's you download books straight to the Kindle 2 with no monthly fees, service plans, or searching for wifi locations

Clearly the Kindle 2 has a ton of awesome features. Some of my favorites include the 3G network to access books anytime, anywhere. The fact that it lasts for days on end on a single charge. And most importantly the fact that you can simply highlight a word and it will give you its definition at the bottom of the screen for an easier read.
