subject: Don't Buy Books At The Airport, Buy A Kindle Instead [print this page] Books in airport gift shops and bookshops have becoming a clichyou'll be able to find the thriller, crime novels and big weighty history novels or biographies of sportsmen, but probably not much else besides the best seller. And of course all the books cost a lot compared to buying them anyway else; this is where Amazon's Kindle e-reader comes in handy.
With the Kindle you need never run out of books to read due to its impressive large memory and capacity to download books. Before you leave on a trip you can download over a 1,000 books to the Kindle. It's more than most people will read in a lifetime, so you don't need to worry about every running out of books. The only concern you should have is for that of the battery. After all, the good thing about books is that you do not need to charge them. The worse that can happen when you have a Kindle is to find that when people are on flights from Dublin to Orlando they may find that the battery has run out.
However, this is not a problem you are likely to run into very often with the Kindle. Due to the screen not being an LCD display, and since the screen doesn't actually emit a light, the battery is incredibly long. It can stay on standby for more than thirty days and you'll find that you can read most of the way around the world and back and not run out of battery or reading material. Needless to stay, return flights from Syracuse to Fort Lauderdale would not pose a problem.
The Amazon Kindle would easier handle return flights from New York to Cologne and still have plenty of charge so that you can drift into Shakespeare while waiting for you baggage.
