Gadget Review: Amazon Kindle


So, by now, most of you have probably heard of the Amazon Kindle. It's an ebook reader made by Amazon, and it's the #1 bestseller on Amazon. Ever. So it must be pretty impressive. What am I talking about? It IS impressive. I would know. I got one for Christmas.

Bragging aside, I absolutely LOVE my new gadget. It's the perfect size and shape. They put page-turning buttons on each side of the Kindle, so you can conveniently hold it in either hand. (This obviously also makes it nice for both lefies and righties.)

The commercial doesn't lie. You can see this thing really well in bright light. There's a bit of a glare if you put a screen protector on, but it's not nearly as bad as most screen protectors. And it keeps the actually screen nice and scratch-free new.

One of my few complaints is that you have to have a light on to read it. It's not back lite. They did this for good reasons thought. Back lighting hurts your eyes and makes the screen harder to read sometimes.

The Kindle does a lot of little things that are nice too. You can change the font size from like microscopic to HUGE! Like, the font gets so big that only like, four words fits on the screen! You can change which type of font you want, also. That's just a few extra things it does though.

You know you want to get one now, so click here. This will take you to Amazon. If you don't know how to work Amazon (Am I wasting my time? I mean, who doesn't know how to work Amazon?), that ok, because there usually a Kindle ad right on the home page. I recommend you pay the extra $50 to get the 3G version. This enables you to buy books from just about anywhere. And you only have to pay for it once. It's not like a monthly payment kind of deal.

Keep checking back, because there are many more post to come. Have a great day!
