As most of you know, I'm an avid reader and find it hard to keep up with all the reading required to stay ahead of technology. AND, I am finding little time to sit down and read novels, books or magazines.  I've learned recently that Amazon has introduced a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The device is called Kindle.

Kindle provides an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both "lefties" and "righties" can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

Kindle is completely mobile and simple to use for everyone. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, content is delivered using a wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills.

Many have endorsed Kindle, including Oprah.  The device runs about $359 and books around $9.99.
