It Is A Perfect Gift To Buy Amazon Kindle, The Electronic Book Reader

Buying a book always meant going to the local bookstore with ample time on your hands. You then would browse through the shelves, leaf through the pages of the tomes, paperback or hardbound and try to choose the ones you were ready to take home with you. Ever stopped to think that this scenario could metamorphose to one where a trip to the bookstore would not be required to buy a book? If you didn't think of this before, you can think now. You are allowed this privilege, from the masterminds at Amazon. They have brought to you the electronic book reader called Kindle and radically changed the way people read books.

The Kindle electronic book reader has the avid readers of the world all excited. From the backpack looking oversized and feeling extra heavy, could they actually carry entire bookcases in what looks more like a usual paperback? Having made this possible, Amazon went a step further and introduced Kindle 2, a few notches ahead of its predecessor. If critics could pinpoint a few limitations of the Kindle, Amazon brought Kindle 2 to put an end to criticism and succeeded at that.

As expected, Kindle 2 outdoes the first Kindle in the number of features it boasts of. With an improved performance, enhanced memory, built-in speakers and the Text-to-Speech feature, you would not ask for more. Even if you do not ask for more, Amazon is ready to pamper its customers with much more. The keyboard is user-friendly, with circular keys and a longer space bar. The electronic ink display on the 6-inch screen makes it look more like a text rather than a computer screen. The letters stand out clearly against the backlight, which cuts out glare. The font size can be changed according to your needs and page refreshing is 20% faster.

Books can be delivered directly to your reader without having to go through the computer. The built-in wireless connection called Whispernet makes this device completely hands-free. The shelf space is 1500 E-Books and downloading is complete in a matter of minutes. Not sure if you want to buy a particular book everyone is talking about? Read the first few chapters as a free sample, and then decide.

With increased battery life and upgraded memory, this Kindle of yours works in more than 100 countries. Let alone being restricted within the walls of your house with a compendium of books, Kindle 2 allows you to continue being a globe-trotter. Even when you are thousands of miles away from home, you can still read the daily you are so used to, and update yourself with the going-ons the world over. With reduced thickness, weighing like a usual paperback, and being wireless, Kindle 2 is as portable as it can get.

At any point, if you are tired of reading, yet would not want to disrupt the exciting flow of the novel, all you have to do is switch from the Text mode to the Speech mode, close your eyes and relax as the novel is read out to you. You can even choose between a male voice and a female voice, and continue with the chores or your driving and get on with the ‘reading' as well. That's what Kindle 2 gives you, and now you are so eager to get it.
