Kindle my books

I recently ordered the Kindle Wireless Reading Device
device (with its new revised pricing), I was surprised to find kindle ships free to my country. I like reading a lot and have been evaluating ebook readers for some time.

For those like me :) , who likes to get behind the technology driving this amazing e-reader device, the technology behind amazon kindle (and most other e-readers) is e-link. So when every you hear about e-link products, you know its about an e-reader device. The e-link technology focuses on creating lightweight, flexible display with ultra low power.

The new Amazon 2 kindle device provides an ability to play MP3 files, so I could listen to podcasts and talks. The Amazon kindle also provides a PDF document conversion utility which would really help to get my pdf e-books on kindle.

Before buying kindle 2 devices, I did my research and downloaded Kindle for PC where I can try out my various pdfs, e-books, and documents, to get a feel of reading the books on a kindle. I really liked the notes and bookmark features that I could associate with my pages. I would suggest you download the Kindle for PC, just to get the feel of the actual viewing experience and the features.

Usually while traveling, I like to catch up on my presentations, so an ability to view power point presentations would be really nice in a kindle. However, I couldn’t find a good conversion utility to convert the presentations into kindle format. Well I converted my PPT in PDF format and then viewed it in Kindle for PC application, and the images came fine.

I was also looking at IPad , I really liked the IPad functionality as it consumes most of the media types along with providing a e-reading viewing experience. I went with Kindle as I was looking out specifically for a nice e-reader device. You can also install the free kindle for IPad software on IPad and evaluate it. Happy reading !!
