The hardback books have lost yet another battle against technology with the bright new Amazon Kindle. Nonetheless, this one is going to please both the passionate readers and the gadget lovers. The Amazon Kindle, masterly using the electronic ink for its display and giving up the back light, is designed to look like real paper and furthermore to give the impression that you read the actual book, newspaper, magazine or blog. This is made possible by the Taiwan- based Prime View International (PVI), which supplies Amazon Kindle with the e-paper.
When it comes to the wireless connectivity, the Amazon Kindle uses the same technology as advanced cell phones do, which is a high-speed network (EVDO) that enables you to just click, purchase and read – no wireless bills, no contacts, and no plugs. The Amazon Kindle is just a 300-gram device able to store more than 200 books on its memory, but this can be supplied, at any time, with up to 4 GB SD memory cards.
