Other products by Amazon
Lighter and thinner than a typical paperback; weighs only 10.3 ounces.
Holds over 200 titles.
A convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The Amazon Kindle.
The Kindle is designed to provide 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.
