Amazon Kindle Review: Purchase the Best Ebook Reader in the Market

Amazon Kindle, Wireless Reading Device
I was amazed by the picture clarity of this device, the first and foremost electronic gadget for reading electronic version of printed materials, the Amazon Kindle. Amazon, which started off as an online book seller in 1995 and soon enough branched out to be the biggest online retailer, always had a greater love for books. This amazing device is their effort to show how much they love the printed books. [Amazon Kindle was News but not anymore. Now, the news is that the information on the latest product, Amazon Kindle 2.0 has been leaked.]
Clarity of Amazon Kindle


I am a little skeptical of the image clarity I see for ebooks. They are never as good as printed books. But Kindle scores pretty well in this. I must say, the difference it has from a printed book page is quite unnoticeable. It looks like a printed page placed below a glass layer.

Kindle is completely wireless, requiring no cables, PC access, or synchronization. It uses the EVDO technology similar to cell phones, so that you never need to access a hotspot for getting online. This enables you to shop online at the Amazon store for any books or magazines you wish to read with this device. The material you purchase is directly delivered to your Kindle within a minute. Now, nearly 200,000 books, including current best sellers are available for purchase through Kindle.

Another great feature is that you can actually download a sample of the book with the first chapter before actually purchasing it.

The newspapers available include the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, etc. Also, there are magazines like Time, the Atlantic, and Forbes. Users from other countries can subscribe to their local newspapers and magazines as well. In their language.
Wall Street Journal Through Amazon Kindle


There are more than 800 of top blogs on business, technology, entertainment, sports, politics, etc., available for subscription on Kindle. This includes, the Huffington Post, TechCrunch, etc.

The power saving of Kindle is remarkable. Without wireless, it can last for a week or more with one time charging of about 2 hours.

Now you need to read any other document through Kindle? Easy. Email the document to Kindle so that you can view it while you are traveling.

There is more to Kindle. To know its true power, get hold of one. Here is the Amazon Store links for Kindle and accessories:

    This is my second ebook reader. I started out with the Sony and I am very happy with this product.

    There are a couple flaws in this product but over all its pretty darn cool to have.

Power of Short Sentences

By VJ
Post dedicated to Thomas Hardy (see History Today below). There are monster sentences like the one you encounter as the first paragraph of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens . One of my friends, whom I am getting equipped for his IELTS ( what is this? ), told me that the examination recommends long sentences. In writing classes also, I guess it’s longer sentences most tutors promote. But indubitably shorter sentences are more powerful . We will see why. Take a long sentence for instance: Tom Cruise, one of the finest actors in the whole world, is perhaps the most powerful celebrity to exist ever according to Time Magazine, but many people still dispute this fact and point out that there are more powerful and popular actors than Cruise, though they were unsuccessful in providing the total number of fans, who liked the films of those actors. This is a long sentence and it is very confusing . Though it has a logical construction and conveys a meaning, it falters in many occasions and seems ...

Creative Writing: Crafting Characters With Emotional Appeal in Mind

By VJ
When you read the greatest fiction works ever, have you ever asked what was so compelling about them that you not only kept reading it, but you ended up reading all other major works of the writer? It may well be because the writer touched your emotional quotient quite a bit. Every reader has a unique taste . Some like to read suspense thrillers , some tender love stories, and some others dark horror and bloodshed stories . That’s why there are all sorts of genres out there. When a writer gives you what exactly you want, you will keep reading. Here we come to the emotional appeal. Character Imperfection Perfect characters may not always be the upshot of a writer’s deliberation. It may well be due to ignorance . Usually the upcoming writers take it for granted that if they create perfect characters, they will be able to garner a bigger audience . It is not true. You have to ask yourself what a character would do in a particular situation. Perfect characters—perfect gunmen, perfect...

En Dash, Em Dash, and Hyphen

By VJ
We have three types of dashes in use: The hyphen, En Dash, and the Em Dash. In this post, we will see how to use them all correctly. Hyphen (-) The hyphen is the minus key in Windows-based keyboards. This is a widely used punctuation mark. Hyphen should not be mistaken for a dash . Dash is different and has different function than a hyphen. A hyphen is used to separate the words in a compound adjective, verb, or adverb. For instance: The T-rex has a movement-based vision. My blog is blogger-powered. John’s idea was pooh-poohed. The hyphen can be used generally for all kinds of wordbreaks . En Dash (–) En Dash gets its name from its length. It is one ‘N’ long (En is a typographical unit that is almost as wide as 'N'). En Dash is used to express a range of values or a distance: People of age 55–80 are more prone to hypertension. Delhi–Sidney flight was late by three hours. In MS Word, you can put an En Dash either from the menu, clicking Insert->Symbol or by the key-combinatio...
