Kindle Oh Kindle, How I Love My Kindle

Kindle eBook Reader

The Amazon Kindle is an electronic book reader made and sold by Amazon.com, the world's largest online retailer and one of the nation's biggest book sellers. Amazon is one of the iconic companies of the Internet era.

The company made the leap from selling others' products to selling its own when it introduced the Kindle, a reader with the capability of downloading books wirelessly, in 2007. A few other companies, notably Sony, had been selling electronic book readers, but Amazon's approach seemed to create a completely new experience, offering users the chance to buy virtually any book at any time anywhere.

The Kindle uses a display technology called electronic ink that is meant to mimic the experience of reading black letters on white paper. It is easier to read in bright lights and it uses less electricity than the sort of displays used on laptop computers and cellphones.
