Christmas Wish List: Amazon Kindle

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.
