Have a reader on your gift list? Amazon's Kindle 2 e-reader may be the perfect gift. In a world where TV shows, movies and Internet videos continue to cut into the sales of novels, newspapers and magazines, the Kindle 2 is adding a cool factor to reading, something any avid reader will appreciate.
The Kindle 2 ranks as one of the most popular e-readers on the market. With it, users can download and store an incredible 1,500 electronic books. Then, much like with an iPod, Kindle 2 users can simply dial up the book, magazine, newspaper or blog that they'd like to read.
It takes just minutes for users to figure out how to use the Kindle 2. For this reason, it is changing the way people think about novels, magazines and newspapers. The device allows users to download nearly any book they can want from the online Amazon Kindle Store. Kindle 2 users can download most bestsellers for just $9.99 - a significant bargain when compared to the cost of hardback bestsellers -- and can even download several books, including many classics, for free.
The Kindle 2 is also impressive-looking. The device is extremely thin and lightweight. It also features a small five-way joystick that makes rotating through the Kindle 2's many menus a fun and simple process.
Reading newspapers, books or magazines on the Kindle 2 is also a positive experience. The Kindle 2's screen is clear enough to accommodate even those with weak eyesight. Amazon says that the e-reader's screen boasts an impressive 16 different shades of gray, ideal for newspapers and magazines. This represents a significant improvement from the mere four shades of gray that Amazon's original Kindle displayed.
Some users have complained that book pages take too long to turn on the Kindle 2. However, this is a relatively minor complaint. The Kindle 2's pages turn 20 percent faster than did the pages on the first Kindle, according to Amazon.
The Kindle 2 is also a snap to charge. Users can plug the Kindle 2 to any vacant USB port on their computers. They can also connect the device, through the use of an adaptor that comes with the Kindle 2, into a standard wall outlet.
Amazon will introduce its own competition for the Kindle 2 when it begins selling its much-anticipated Kindle DX this summer. This new device will include several upgrades over the Kindle 2. But those who want an e-reader now don't have to wait for the Kindle DX. The Kindle 2, after all, comes with more than enough features to satisfy any reader.
Owning a Kindle 2 doesn't provide all the thrills of the local bookstore or library, of course. But it does come close. The Kindle 2, then, makes for the ideal gift for the avid readers whom you know. - 23802
