Overheard About The Kindle

"It's lighter, I can carry it, and I can have more at my disposal...having ten or twelve or eight or five [books] in one small space for the plane is ideal." —Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison

"This latest, amazing invention, the Kindle—I for one am thoroughly hooked!" —Media Mogul Martha Stewart

"Think of a book you'd like to read and in 30 seconds it's on your screen. It's magic." —Bestselling business author Michael Lewis

"[The Kindle is] the iPod of reading." —Newsweek Magazine

"People are going to flip over this thing." —Best-selling mystery writer James Patterson

"There's something so powerful about the way it compiles so much to read." —Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler)

The Kindle 2 Wireless Reader makes the whole notion of e-books a practical reality. Weighing a bit more than 10 ounces just over 1/3 of an inch thick, Kindle 2 holds hundreds of itles in a container lighter and thinner than most paperback books. Travelers no longer have to confine themselves to a single guidebook: you can bring as many guidebooks as you like on your trip (and any other kind of book, for that matter). »»Browse Hundreds of Travel Titles on Kindle

Speaking of books: even the best reading device would be useless without a massive selection of books. The Kindle Store has more than 230,000 books available, plus top newspapers, magazines, and blogs. Eventually, every book ever printed will be available for download—in any language—in under 60 seconds.

Whether you prefer biographies, classics, investment guides, thrillers, or sci-fi, thousands of your favorite books are available right now, including 103 of 110 books currently found on the New York Times Best Seller list. These and most other new releases are $9.99, and you'll find many books for less.
