Can a 3G wireless eReader Kindle a Revolution?
Sleek & Light Ergonomic Design At 10.2 ounces, the second generation 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.
An ultra thin Kindle also makes it very easy to read. Amazon designed the Kindle 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. The Kindle is balanced, lightweight, portable, and entirely usable in any situation or position. And the 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 Kindle has amazing battery life. You can read up to 1 week on a single charge with the wireless antenna turned on. To really maximize your battery, turn the wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Your battery life will vary based on wireless usage. Shopping in the Kindle Store, downloading content and low-coverage EDGE/GPRS-only areas will consume battery power more quickly. One of the best things about the Kindle is that you can recharge it using a USB connection. Just plug your Kindle's micro-USB cable into your computer's USB port for a quick charge. Don't have a USB port nearby? No problem. You can also use a regular U.S. power adapter (100V-240V) and the included charging cable to bring your Kindle back to life. And putting the Kindle into power saving sleep mode is much easier. No longer do you have to press and hold two buttons to put the device to sleep as with previous Kindle models. The switches for On/Off and Wireless On/Off are gone. There's a single small switch at the top of the K2 that handles Sleep. Goodnight Kindle.
Kindle Store
And don't waste your time stressing about what books you should delete from your Kindle. Books you purchase from the Kindle Store are backed up online in your Kindle book library at Amazon.com. You can wirelessly re-download books available in your library at any time.
Wirelessly Download Kindle Content Anywhere in the World
How much do you think Amazon charges customers for this wireless access on Whispernet? Nothing. It's FREE!!! How cool is that? Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you won't see a monthly wireless bill. There is no wireless setup–you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box. Whispernet is also really fast. Most books and periodicals can be downloaded via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. Obviously wireless download times will vary based on your 3G or EDGE/GPRS wireless signal coverage, Here's a map of AT&T's wireless coverage area in the United States.
The Kindle is the Perfect International Citizen
Subscriptions are auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle so the latest edition is waiting for you every morning. Plus, aren't physical newspapers too clumsy and too big to read during your morning commute anyway?
However, there is a fee for for U.S. customers traveling abroad. A $1.99 fee currently applies when downloading content wirelessly while traveling internationally. But if you have access to a computer, just download books, periodicals, and personal documents via your computer and transfer to your Kindle using USB to avoid any fees. Reasons to Love the Kindle
There are a lot of advantages to owning a Kindle. You don't have to store books anymore, the Kindle is good for the environment, Kindle books are cheaper, and downloading content via Whispernet is a major convenience. But at the end of the day, the Kindle doesn't give you the traditional "book" experience. Shopping in the Kindle Store is not the same experience as going to a book store and browsing through shelves of books. For some, the smell of old books is almost an aphrodisiac. Even the word itself has some magic to it. But reading a Kindle book isn't a distraction. The Kindle 'disappears' as you read it. Once you have the Kindle in your hands, you forget everything and become immersed in the content of what you're reading. Isn't that really the whole point? Books look a lot less intimidating when they aren't sitting on your bookshelf and 3 inches thick. Overall, the Kindle is an amazing product. If you love reading, then this is what you've been waiting for. The Kindle is to reading what the iPod was to music. Even if you are "old school" when it comes to books, you'll love Kindle. Give it a try.

us to the ends of the earth... except places near water. But
thanks to the OtterBox Mini you can now safely take your
iPod Mini near or even underwater.

What's
the point of downloading your favorite songs on iTunes if they sound
like crap on your computer's built-in speakers? The sound quality
and volume these little babies emit, much to the chagrin of my neighbors,
is truly phenomenal.
You may have heard of that new Apple product, I believe it's called the, uhh, Apple TV. I understand that newspapers, other blogs, and your Aunt have already reviewed this thing, but I thought I'd add my two cents.
Are
you a victim of the iPod's blossoming popularity? Feel like just another
pair of white headphones in the crowd? Maybe it's time you got
an iPod Mod.
H20 Audio has created a waterproof and impact
resistant case so that we can take our iPod Minis anywhere we
want… including the ocean free.
Why
give someone a single still framed picture when you can give them
an entire slide show? Most Digital Picture Frames can playback a
series of digital photos and videos on high-resolution screens.
