This Kindle is like the hottest new device out there. I am an avid reader and I usually carry a lot of heavy books around with me in a heavy back-pack (sore shoulder) on campus and on the train but since this has come along it has changed my habits and helped me get more reading in then I ever would have expected - without the heavy bag on my back.
It's like the coolest eBook reader device.
With the kindle, I also found out that I can download and enjoy more than 60,000 audio titles too on Audible.com. This has bestselling audio books, radio programs, audio newspapers and magazines. So I got a full range of information that I usually spend hours looking up on my computer.
My Kindle was one of the ones that shipped without being pre-registered to my account. After I plugged it in to my USB on my computer to charge the battery (the charging cord design is very cool!) I read through the introductory portion of the user guide which told me how to register the Kindle. I followed the instructions and a couple minutes later I was all set!
I thought it would be fitting to christen my Kindle with the Stephen King novella UR, so went to the Amazon site on my computer and clicked on the button to buy it. As soon as I'd clicked the button to confirm my order it appeared on my Kindle almost immediately! I read it while the Kindle finished charging.
If you love to read like I do, you will find out that this handy device does not disappoint.
