I wrote just over a month ago about a big price drop for Amazon’s Kindle.
Now they’ve gone one better. They’ve not only slashed the price, they updated the product. The latest Kindle Wireless Reading Device
The all new Kindle is smaller, lighter, faster and with 50% better contrast. Check out the New Kindle Wireless Reading Device here
Great news. The Kindle Wireless Reading Device
I’ve loved the idea of the Kindle ever since Amazon started selling them, but being in Australia meant that I couldn’t buy one when they were first released.
When they did become available in Australia, and many other countries, the price was still a sticking point for me. If the price has been holding you back too, you may be interested to know that they’ve dropped in price considerably. I imagine it might have something to do with the iPad becoming available.
With this new Kindle, you can get your books, newspapers, and magazines delivered while at home or abroad in over 100 countries.
At Amazon, we’ve always been obsessed with having every book ever printed, and we know that even the best reading device would be useless without a massive selection of books. Today, the Kindle Store has more than 350,000 books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs available. This is just the beginning. Our vision is to have every book ever printed, in any language, all available in under 60 seconds on Kindle. We won’t stop until we get there.
Whether you prefer biographies, classics, investment guides, thrillers, or sci-fi, thousands of your favorite books are available, including 104 of 112 books currently found on the New York Times® Best Seller list. New York Times Best Sellers and most new releases are $9.99, and you’ll find many books for less.
While I’m sure that an iPad would be fun, I’d still like a Kindle Wireless Reading Device
Would you ever switch to reading electronically or do you still prefer the feel of the paper and the experience of turning the pages?

The waiting is over. If you’re in Australia or many other countries around the world you can now buy the latest generation Kindle Wireless Reading Device

It would make reading a lot simpler than carrying around bundles and bundles of books, magazines and newspapers. Looks like I need to start putting some money aside for a Kindle.
They’re only selling in the U.S. at the moment but I’m sure they’ll be more widely available soon.
The Amazon Kindle
They say that it’ll hold up to 200 books. That’d keep me going for a while. You can also download blogs, newspapers and magazines to read wherever you are.
Amazon Kindle is an electronic book (e-book) service launched in the United States by Amazon.com in November 2007. It uses an electronic paper display, reads the proprietary Kindle (AZW) format, and downloads content over Amazon Whispernet, which uses the Sprint EVDO network. This means that unlike previously existing e-book readers, the Kindle can be used without the need for a computer. Whispernet is accessible through Kindle without any fee. On the release day, the Kindle store had more than 88,000 digital titles available for download. The Kindle sold out in five and a half hours. – Wikipedia.org
I’m going on a long flight in April next year (more on that soon) and this would be very handy.
Do you think it’ll catch on? Obviously there is no shortage of people willing to give it a try.
