I don't know how many of you happened to catch The Oprah Show yesterday. She raved about one of her new favorite things...The Amazon Kindle. What is the Amazon Kindle?
The Amazon Kindle came on the scene less than a year ago to rave reviews. The Kindle was created by Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com. It's a portable, electronic reading device which gives you instant access to over 190,000 books, newspapers, and magazines. You can simply purchase the electronic version of a book at a fraction of the cost of the paper version. You order what you want, wirelessly through your Kindle. How cool is that?
A Few Kindle Features:
* No monthly wireless bills, service plans, or commitments. Amazon takes care of the wireless delivery so you can simply click, buy, and read!
* Simple to use: no computer, no cables, no syncing.
* Wireless connectivity enables you to shop the Kindle Store directly from your Kindle—whether you’re in the back of a taxi, at the airport, or in bed.
*Buy a book and it is auto-delivered wirelessly in less than one minute.
*More than 190,000 books available, including more than 109 of 112 current New York Times® Best Sellers, many priced at $9.99.
*More than 900 top blogs from the worlds of business, technology, sports, entertainment, and politics.
For those of us who love to read and want to help the environment by using less paper, the Kindle is one genius creation. The only bummer that I have found with the Kindle is its initial cost of $359. While the Kindle would more than likely pay for itself in the long run, it's still a pretty steep investment for most consumers.
However, If you've had your eye on the Kindle and have been looking for a price break, you now have one. Jeff Bezos announced on Oprah yesterday that they are knocking $50 off the purchase price for 7 days.
