Amazon's Amazing Kindle Wireless Document Reader

Compared to the hoopla surrounding the release of Apple Computer's iPhone, Amazon.com's new Kindle Wireless Reading Device was virtually a non-event. Nonetheless, initial demand for this latest must-have geek accessory exceeded all expectations, creating a waiting list for the product that is only beginning to be addressed.

Browsing through Amazon's Kindle Store, you'll begin to see why. First, Amazon has partnered with Sprint to create their own Whispernet wireless telephone network which is free to Kindle owners. That feature alone allows the device to pay for itself in only a few months. On the other hand, you may prefer Using Kindle with Your Computer, saving a local copy of you digital content. Either way, your content remains accessible in Your Media Library, and you can always Manage Your Kindle Subscriptions online.

For a quick overview of the Kindle device itself, see the Kindle Photo Gallery and the brief (36 page) .pdf file About Your Kindle. For more details, you can download the Kindle User's Manual (92 pages) and Read the FAQ.

To support the growing Kindle community, I've created a new Kindle aStore. As with other digital content, you can't order Kindle books directly from aStore sites, but it provides a useful alternative to Amazon's main site for rapidly searching and browsing Kindle content without the clutter found on Amazon's main site pages, and can be viewed directly on your Kindle. From Kindle Mania, you can easily link to whatever main site page you like for more complete information, or to order. Here are our top-level categories:
