Amazon launched Kindle2, a portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. Often referred to as the "ipod of reading," Kindle allows users to view "paper" publications for a fraction of the cost.The product's website provides further information, including where you can purchase one of your own as well as view an video demonstration. (Be aware, the price currently starts at $230.00)
I'm actually not surprised that this device was created. I knew that someday books would be obsolete, especially with the growing popularity of going green and saving a tree. Its also not a secret that newspapers and magazines have been struggling with circulation now that almost all of their articles can be viewed online.
For those who seek information at their fingertips, Kindle (and other versions sure to come) is your answer. The reality of ever-growing ways to get information faster and easier is here to stay. And although it is not here yet, I'm sure one day there will be a device that combines a Kindle, ipod, cell phone, camera and the internet all in one. What will they think of next?
