Ebook Reader Is Here To Stay

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

In the past decade or so, there had been many failed attempts at making our reading become smoother and faster. That’s until online book retailer Amazon came along and again made the difference in enhancing the reading experience, with a reading device called the Kindle electronic book reader. Its extraordinary features for reading are complemented by its novel way of acquiring the very content.

The Amazon Kindle is a user-friendly and portable ebook reader. It has the capability of downloading blogs, books, newspapers, and magazines. It used to be that heavy-duty reading meant turning thick pages of paper but nowadays, electronic reading is very different. It is not only portable but can also carry your entire library of books and is connected constantly to your bookshop through wireless network.

The Kindle does not require a personal computer to download its media. In addition, syncing is smart and automatic. This electronic book reader comes with internet capability through 3G technology on which the Amazon Whispernet service is rendered. This feature comes with the purchase of the reader so users don’t have to concern themselves with the wireless service plan, contract, or bills thereafter.

The Amazon Whispernet wireless service is a one-of-a-kind delivery system which enables users to obtain any e-book on its library very quickly. This electronic book reader is currently not available outside of US but this is only a matter of time before it is also available to those outside. US users can download and sample the beginning pages of books for free before confirming whether to buy it or not.

In terms of appearance, this portable reader is as impressive as its capabilities. The crisp black-and-white screen could easily be mistaken for some fine-grade printed paper. The high-tech virtual ink is intended to be just like real ink-on-paper in terms of appearance and readability so much so that there is no backlighting at all. Therefore, it would not be difficult to read in bright sunlight and the screen never heats up so you don’t have to limit how long you should be reading on that account.

For sure, the Kindle eBook Reader is lifestyle these days. It’s actually considered cool to be seen reading say on the subway or in a restaurant. With it, you’ll never run out of things to read. And if you like to read multiple books in parallel, this is your lucky day. They’re making their way into schools soon where dead-tree books have been eternally intrinsic. From any angle, the Kindle reader appears set to stay.

With the launch of Amazon Kindle 2 has integrated the entire business of e-reading. The eBook reader is not only filled with smart features, it’s also connected and mobile just like the cellular phone. It is essentially a cellular eBook reader in that it has wireless coverage anywhere in the US for Amazon bookstores plus browsing text-centric websites like Wikipedia, Google and others.

The original Amazon Kindle wasn’t much of a looker but you can’t say that about the new Kindle. Looking stylish and a lot more approachable than its predecessor, the Kindle 2 is also an ergonomics masterpiece. Whether it’s by chance or choice, the appearance is very Apple-like (iPod) and that’s a plus with many folks. But looks aside, it’s a functional gem in its own right.

Although the Kindle eBook Reader is likely to attract quite a bit of attention, that’s not the intention of the design upon the reader. The objective was in fact to get the reader ‘lost in your reading, not the technology’. It has so gallantly replicated the feature of a good physical book to disappear while you’re reading it but can’t put it down except it’s now can’t put the Kindle down.

The most distinctive feature of the Amazon eBook Reader is the Whispernet. This is a wireless service for acquiring content and some degree of internet access. It also carries the Whispersync feature which links other Kindles and its associated devices such as the iPhones and iPods plus others in the future. When you Buy Kindle 2, Amazon will pay for the lifetime connectivity of the particular e-reader. The network is 3G-based so it doesn’t have to be in a hotspot to operate.

Yes, the Amazon Kindle is but a book. And what a book! It’s any book you wish, out of 275,000 and you can carry more than a thousand of them everywhere you go and access the rest in less than 60 seconds. Amazon has publicly stated its goal of availing any book that’s ever printed in electronic form for the Kindle within the US. That’s a tall order but based on their track record, you don’t want to bet against it.
