A Helpful Guide to Understanding Kindle

Kindle was a top pick for every gift-giving list this year, especially for Christmas, birthdays and of course, Mother’s Day!  Kindle is the one invention that no one thought that they needed but no one now wants to live without.  It is the answer to paper waste, sore eyes and lack of space to house a personal library.  It very well may be one of the most brilliant inventions in a long time.

What is Kindle?

Kindle is a small, lightweight, hand-held electronic device that stores your personal library and acts like a book.  Literally, all you do is take it out of the box, power it on and connect to the Kindle store.  It is equipped with Whispernet so you search, download and are able to read and Amazon pays for the connection.  You are never billed a monthly charge for using an internet connection regardless of how many times you use wireless features.

All you do is connect to the Kindle store, choose a book you want and download it.  Kindle offers over 750,000 books, magazines, newspapers and there’s even thousand of interesting and popular titles that are available for free.

Features

There was a lot of thought that went into the design of Kindle and the manufacturers certainly did everything right!  It is about the size of a book but much easier to hold.  You can even turn the device and read comfortably from virtually any position and it’s super easy to flip the page.

The Kindle screen mimics paper only it features a high-resolution display that uses no back-lighting and reflects like a traditional book.  What does this mean for you?  No glare!  You can actually sit in the sun and read this which would be impossible to do on a laptop or most phones.

Kindle features a QWERTY keyboard so you can easily type what you’re looking for either in your own library or when you visit the Kindle store.  You can add notes to words or phrases, highlight text and bookmark  pages.  Oh, and you don’t have to worry about losing your page because Kindle always remembers the last page that you visited.

Another great feature on Kindle is that there is a built in dictionary so you can look up words if needed and you have free access to Wikipedia so you can always reference information with ease.  What’s the greatest thing about Kindle?  It is incredibly durable and has been put through the drop test so even though it is an electronic device, you’ll be surprised at how much abuse it can actually take.
