It is indeed a welcome news to all Bookworms, as they are in for tasty fodder named KINDLE 2
Not just another book, it is really a sleek, sturdy, flashy, little thing to keep you reading and reading for ever. It is an electronic book reader from amazon. The new version which is introduced in India too is really stylish, and much improved than the older version, which was slightly bulky. With its rich paper like screen, totally glare proof, and much better looking than paper, will just invite envious peeps from behind your shoulders.!. I was searching for such a reader for around two years now, and tried through all sources abroad, but in vain, until, last month, I saw it on the web, and jumped for it .It was delivered in ship shape through DHL worldwide, and I found no free books loaded with the package however.The web is full of free books, so I downloaded quite a few books instantaneously. The device is capable of receiving books directly through the inbuilt wireless, coupled with life time service from whispernet, provided by the sellers free.
The gadget can read aloud the books for you if you wish, and even play mp3 music to soothe you softly while you are engrossed in the book. It could be used to browse, somehow, Indian rules does not permit as of now, otherwise you could even use it as your guide to show maps and places too.
The battery back up is fantastic, and upto two weeks in one recharge, without the wireless, but around ten days with the wireless function on. The best feature is its paper like or better than paper screen, which is highly readable, and at times you try to flip the pages, forgetting that you are reading an ebook and not the real one!
