With the advent of Amazon, we got the online bookstore that people were craving for years. Now, Amazon has furthered its cause to give you books you can read electronically, anywhere you want. The Amazon Kindle is how it's done, and it allows you to read wirelessly. You can take it anywhere and access an entire library of books, all in one compact electronic device, and all at your fingertips.

You can read magazines, books, blogs, newspapers, whatever you want with the Kindle. If you're ever tired of awkwardly holding a book apart to read it, fumble with pages, or are tired of the weight of books, the Kindle is for you. The only thing better than the Amazon Kindle is the Kindle 2, the next model in the series.

The Kindle is an entirely independent device, needing nothing else to run. You use 3G technology to connect to the Amazon Whispernet in order to brows the Internet, sync books, and get media. You don't have to pay any extra for the service bills; it's all covered in your purchase of the Kindle. The only foreseeable downside is that the wireless makes the battery drain faster; you'll get about 5 hours of usage instead of the 20 you typically get with no wireless activity.

Kindle connects to the Internet through Amazon's Whispernet, which can let you download ebooks, blogs, magazines, whatever you want; it's all wireless. You can get your ebook less than 60 seconds after buying it. If you want to decide whether you want to get the book, read the first few sample pages. People traveling internationally may have trouble using this feature, but this issue will soon be remedied, and you can buy books no matter where you are.

The Kindle really benefits from its one of a kind clear display. The screen, unlike most computer screens, won't strain your eyes, which is great for long reading times. There's no backlighting with the E-ink technology provided by Vizplex in the display. It'll be just like reading a book, as you're looking at a natural, sun lit display that stays cool no matter how long it's on.

With Amazon's Whispernet, you can use Sprint's EVDO network to sync and read whatever you want online, no matter where you are, wirelessly. The Kindle 2 improves upon the great example its predecessor set. Amazon listened to the people who told them how the Kindle worked, and addressed most of their issues, providing a much better wireless device for their customers.
