Filed under What Present To Buy For Someone Who Loves To Read
This could be the ultimate in gifts for those who love nothing more than settling down with a good book. The all-new, improved Kindle 3G allows you to carry around a library of 3,500 books wherever you go.
Unlike most electronic devices, the Kindle is incredibly simple. Kindle is wireless and ready to use right out of the box – no set up, no software to install, no computer required.
It has features you won't find in books either such as a search text (allowing you to check back on the vital clues that allowed Miss Marple to solve the mystery when you yourself didn't).
You can increase the font size for easy reading. The contrast and fonts can be adjusted and Kindle's screen reads like real paper, with no glare. It is as easy to read in bright sunlight as in your living room.
And the access to Wikipaedia, built in dictionary and bookmark features come in useful too.
The size and weight of the Kindle makes it a perfect travelling companion too, It's only 8.5mm thick - less than a magazine and weighs under 250gms - lighter than a paperback. And yet, it can hold enough books to satisfy the most avid reader.The Kindle has been ergonomically designed to be easy to hold and read and doesn't heat up when in use either.
And, even better, the battery will last for a whole month before needing recharged. You could be in the deepest, darkest jungle and still have enough battery to read whilst swatting the mosquitos and removing the leecehes.
E-books can be simply downloaded in just 60 seconds and you even get to read the first chapters for free to see if they are worth getting or not. You get FREE 3G wireless with the Kimble too - no fees, charges or contracts. This means you can download books without a computer and the wireless coverage means that you can do it in over 100 countries and territories. You can add and delete books as you wish - Amazon keeps a back up of the ones you buy so that you can reload them whenever you wish for free.
Amazon have the biggest selection of any e-bookstore in the UK, with more than 415,000 books, including bestsellers and new releases all at competitive low prices. You can also download UK and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs and there are more than 1 million free books also available.
The Text-to-Speech feature allows Kindle to even read English-language content out loud to you. Perfect for those with vision problems or dyslexia.
This is a wonderful gift that anyone who loves to read would love.
