Kindle - start your own fire with this digital reading device


Kindle 2, the latest wireless reading device, is available from Amazon. But will "reading" with this flatscreen, digital "machine" catch on with readers. It's light weight (10 oz.) and convenient. It can store up to 1500 "books" and allows the owner to quickly download an entire book in less than 60 seconds. Reviewers indicate they quickly get lost in the book they're reading and forget they are actually not holding a physical book. And, the "books" are generally much less expensive than a traditional book purchased at a book store. ($9.99 is the average for new releases and bestsellers) Will you be a convert?

I like to feel the pages in my hands - don't know if I could get used to a machine that I have to plug in to recharge.
