Christmas Wish List: Amazon Kindle

November 13th, 2008 joel

With Christmas Eve less than six weeks away, we are going to review some of the cool media-related gifts on the market.

Today its the Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device. Amazon says that it’s a “revolutionary electronic-paper display provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper.”

You don’t need to sync to a computer with the Kindle, since it uses the wireless EVDO network to connect to Amazon’s servers.

Of course, what’s on those servers is what really matters: 190,000 books, periodicals and blogs available for download, including most of the titles on the New York Times Best Seller list, and only for $9.99 for each e-book.

The Amazon Kindle costs $359.00 and comes with free shipping…click here to order the Kindle.

    This little baby has been on my wish list for some time now….hopefully somebody that cares for me has it on their Christmas list next to my name!

    Manitoba! I would LOVE one of those! But thinking sensibly, I would feel pretty overindulgent getting one with so much economic turmoil going on….though it would be helping to spur the economic recovery….hmmmm ;-)

    They are getting RAVE reviews everywhere. I would love one but I have committed to buying an HDTV and upgrading to DISH as my economic stimulus this year. I hope it does well so the price drops and then I can get both.
