A Kindle is the latest invention from Amazon.com. This nifty little gadget is thin as paper and lightweight. Its 3G wireless network lets you download books within minutes. It holds up to 1500 books and you can read for days without recharging. Kindle's screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic displays. As a result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room or out on the beach. The best part is that we no longer have to carry five heavy books whilst going away! Now you take all the reading material you like and it wont take up any space! Because one size doesn't fit all, you can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Kindle has six adjustable font sizes to suit your reading preference. Now every book in your library can be large print. With the experimental Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle can read English newspapers, magazines, blogs, and books out loud to you, unless the book's rights holder made the feature unavailable. You can switch back and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically saved. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free. You can choose from both male and female voices, which can be sped up or slowed down to suit your preference. May this year, be the year of the Kindle. Fingers and toes crossed!
