Kindle Reader Review

For sure, the Kindle electronic book reader is lifestyle these days. It's actually considered cool to be seen reading say on the subway or in a restaurant. With it, you'll never run out of things to read. And if you like to read multiple books in parallel, this is your lucky day. They're making their way into schools soon where dead-tree books have been eternally intrinsic. From any angle, the Kindle reader appears set to stay.

 

From one Kindle review to another, the device is generally described as a state-of-the-art mobile eBook reader which is on live connection with Amazon online bookstores and other amenities all across the US. Kindles form the major junction for all of Amazon e-reading business. The remarkable part is that they still retain the natural feel and display of the conventional print on paper.

Besides the good looks, the new generation Kindle is also flush with supreme functional features. The ergonomics is superb too, having been ironed out of whatever shortcomings the original version endured. This technological marvel has now been packaged into a thing of beauty and functionality with accident-proof buttons, smooth rocker controls, standard keyboard and stylish overall layout.

If the Kindle looks great and grab the limelight, that's a bonus, not the original idea. But seriously, it's supposed to just disappear into the reading. Like a good paper-filled book, it's the proverbial judging the content and not the cover but what the heck! It's that lucky star again for Amazon. Having that said, the technology packed into the Kindle is surely worth a mention.

The trademark feature of the Kindle reader has to be its Whispernet wireless service. So far, it's the only eBook reader equipped with this facility. Readers are in constant touch with the bookstore and subscriptions plus synchronized with other devices associated with their Kindles through its Whispersync network and all this for free by Amazon. The service is powered by 3G technology so it doesn't have to be within any hotspot zone to be functional.

 

Most Kindle review sites will not fail to mention 2 things: the price and the size of the library. At a cost of the better part of $ 400, it could be steep for some but if you're into reading, the 275,000 books available will beckon at a discounted price. Whether it's worth the money or not is an individual thing and if Amazon has its way, any book that's ever printed will have an e-version for the Kindle in future. That's a lot of books!

Can a Sony Reader download Kindle books from Amazon?

I'm new to these and want to get the Sony Reader but want to know if will display the same products as the Kindle.

I'm sorry, but you cannot. You can find what devices can read Kindle books here:

Sony Reader is completely different from the Amazon Kindle. I'll say you better choose the Kindle, it just has a price drop (you can always see the latest price on its homepage) and it is now cheaper than Sony Reader. There are much more selection for books on the Kindle too. I've elaborated more about this in another answer here:
