A kindle is an electronic book. It is a hand held reader with a screen. You buy a kindle, and then you purchase a download of a book - it loads into your kindle. It can hold a lot of books, and is a lot easier to carry around than a pile of books.
You read the book right off of the screen - page by page. What's unique about the Kindle is that it is the most popular e-reading device in the world. Named one of the hottest up and coming technologies of 2011, the all-new sleeker and lighter Amazon Kindle is one of the most-wished-for, most-gifted
of any product on Amazon.

The all-new Kindle which is available at Amazon isn’t just a great gadget for people who loves reading. Lighter than a paperback and thinner than a magazine, this revolutionary e-reading gadget features crisp, print-like text similar to what you see in a physical book, making the experience very similar to reading an actual book – even in bright sunlight!
The Kindle uses a grey screen to display a page of text. To turn the page, you just press a button to go forward or backward. It can download compatible files over Amazon’s Whispernet directly to the Kindle by using the same network as Sprint EVDO. You don’t even need a computer to download and then transfer files like you do some MP3 players and other electronics. It also includes a web browser but you are limited to only Amazon or Wikipedia. You can add and read e-books from other sites, too, as long as they are compatible. So you can download stuff from Mobipocket or even in plain text. Amazon offers an email service that can convert files from HTML, jpeg, bmp, PDF, and others into the Kindle format. There is enough internal memory in the Kindle to be able to store around 200 e-books but you can get an SD memory card if you want to add more memory.
