Kindle Review
After months of contemplation, I finally ordered Amazon's hot new product, the Kindle.
And at the moment, I'm impressed.
For those of you who don't know, the Kindle is an electronic book, enabling you to download books and read them on an easily-read screen. It promises savings (downloaded books usually cost $9.99 as opposed to the $20+ costs on Amazon), ease of reading, paper savings, and the ability to stay up to date with the world through daily downloads of newspapers and magazines.
And, while it's not yet perfected, it delivers on the above.
Product Description
Size: 7.5" high, 5.25" wide, and just 0.5" thick.
Screen size: 4.75" x 3.5" which may seem small, but since you can easily adjust type size, it really doesn't matter. The screen is white with black print, and is specifically designed so that you can read it even under the bright glaze of sunlight. However, this also means that you need light to read, so if you're reading in bed, you'll still need a light to see the page, just like a normal book.
