subject: Why The Kindle E-reader Is Perfect For Flights [print this page] The Kindle e-reader is an ideal thing to take with you on flights. It'll make the time fly, and with the battery life lasting so long, you can be sure that even a long flight will be no problem for the Kindle to handle.
The Kindle seems like it is almost designed for air travel. With not so many places to charge your electronic devices at an airport, a Kindle is an ideal travelling buddy. With a standby life up to 30 days, and a usage battery time of more than 24 hours, the Kindle could handle flights from New York to Mumbai without needing to be charged. In fact, it could probably handle multiple flights from New York to Glasgow and still be available for the journey from the airport back to your final destination.
With so many airlines requiring passengers to take less luggage these days, the Kindle is also a dramatic space-saver. It offers the bookish traveller space for more than 1,000 books. So if you're going on a long beach holiday, you won't need to lug around a whole bag of books. Instead, you can just carry all the books around on your e-reader. The downside is that you may have to purchase all the book again in order to transfer them onto your Kindle, but it's worth doing that with new books. Then wherever you go you can always have your book ready.
On a long flight the Kindle will also not make you suffer from the eye strain commonly associated with looking at screens for a long time. With its E-Ink screen you are able to also read in the sunshine after flights from Phoenix to Romewith no glare on the screen. The Kindle is the new must have travel accessory, especially for the more literary travellers.
