Christmas gift guide Amazon Kindle

Widely quoted as "the iPod of ebook readers". No big technology leaps here, but what makes this different is that this deviced is linked to a well-stocked store and providing a simple and streamlined consumer experience. Search for a title, author or subject. Within minutes, you’ve made a selection and are reading the first chapter or three for free. Minutes after you decide that you like what you’ve seen, you’ve got the whole book.
Free-for-life 3G connection to the AT&T mobile broadband network and Amazon throws in a web browser. 
The Kindle 2 is thin, light, and comfortable to hold, with big page-turn buttons that support right-handed or left-handed reading.


Amazon still  typically charge less than the competition.

Kindles don’t support ePub. But look out -  the Kindle 2 didn’t support PDF files until Amazon “pushed” that feature to the device wirelessly via a free software update.
