[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 317712, member: 1963"] A kindle is an electronic book reader. I have the older K2 kindle and I love the thing. It's recently come down in price due to competition from other companies. Despite what Amazon says, you can easily download e-books from other freebie/inexpensive sites. The only difference is that with amazon you can download directly to the Kindle without a easy child. For other sites you have to download the books to your easy child and then transfer them over to the kindle via the included special USB cable. The cable is a hybrid that is also used to charge the Kindle. Provided you only turn Whispernet (Amazon's kindle network) on when you are actively downloading books or synching the Kindle with your Amazon account, the battery life is excellent. Another neat feature is that you can have up to five Kindles on one account provided they are all purchased under the same account name (let's say you and a friend want to go the kindle route. You set up your order and account. You order your Kindle and then order hers as well.) Associated accounts can share books. If one of you buys a book, the others on your shared account can 'synch' to Amazon and download the new book) [/QUOTE]
