subject: Benefits Of An Amazon Kindle [print this page] More than likely, you're here because you are considering purchasing an Amazon Kindle for yourself or a loved one. The Amazon Kindle is a God send for those who love their books and love to take them wherever they go. This ebook reader was constructed to make reading easier and convenient for all the book enthusiasts out there. However, just like any other high-tech devices, this ebook reader has its pros and cons too.
Let's consider a few pros:
* Has a fast wireless connection for downloading of e books, without ever needing to sync the device with a computer
* Has an impressive 90,000+ collection of books, from New York Times bestsellers to any obscure textbooks (and is quickly growing)
* Worried about losing your content? No need due to online backup
Let's review some of the cons:
* Navigation is done using a clunky wheel; why not use touch screen technology? Hopefully the Kindle design team will move in this soon!
* Does not provide real page numbers, making it hard to provide proper footnotes if researching material
The Amazon Kindle is leading the market share for great reason: it's a serious competitor and Amazon continually updates its design. It will be improved even more so as new competition emerges in the book arena. The list of cons is pretty dismissive since most people fall in love with the Kindle any way.
If you want an e book reader, considering quality and price point, the Amazon Kindle is an excellent purchase. With the book industry facing competition from digital media, this digital reader has done a great job with giving the industry a great boost.
