Kindle 2: Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device


One of Oprah's Favorite Things



What is a Kindle? 


A Kindle is a wireless reading device!  3G wireless lets you download books, blogs and newspapers right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere; no monthly fees, service plans or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots.


Take your library with you! - Download your favorite books in under 60 seconds and take your Kindle anywhere.  The Kindle holds over 1,500 books! 


It will even read to you!  With the new text-to-speech feature, Kindle can read every newspaper, magazine, blog and book out loud to you (unless the book is disabled by the rights holder).


Features


Simple to Use, No Computer Required - Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box--no setup, no cables, no computer required.


Sleek & Trim - At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.


Improved Ergonomics - Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle.


No Wireless Bills - No monthly wireless bills, data plans, or commitments. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you won't see a wireless bill. There is no wireless setup--you are ready to shop, purchase and read right out of the box.


Holds Over 1,500 Books - The ultimate travel companion, Kindle weighs 10.2 ounces and holds more than 1,500 books. No longer pick and choose which books fit in your carry-on. Now you can always have your entire library with you.

Earth's Biggest Electronic Book Store: 250,000 Books









At Amazon, we've always been obsessed with having every book ever printed, and we know that even the best reading device would be useless without a massive selection of books. Today, the Kindle Store has more than 250,000 books available, plus top newspapers, magazines, and blogs. This is just the beginning. Our vision is to have every book ever printed, in any language, all available in under 60 seconds on Kindle. We won't stop until we get there.


Whether you prefer biographies, classics, investment guides, thrillers, or sci-fi, thousands of your favorite books are available, including 103 of 111 books currently found on the New York Times® Best Seller list. New York Times Best Sellers and most new releases are $9.99, and you'll find many books for less.
