I've had my Amazon Kindle for just over a month

I've had my Amazon Kindle for just over a month now and it's absolutely fantastic; it has become my constant travel companion whether it's when I am on the train or if I have time to spare when parked up in the car. It's slim; just over 1/3 of an inch, as thin as most magazines, so it it fits neatly into my backpack or brief case, and it's lightweight. At 10.2 ounces, it's lighter than a typical paperback.


Another great thing about the Kindle is that it's like having  a library 'on demand' 24/7; I can get books in under 60 seconds; these are delivered wirelessly with no PC required. 3G wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle; no annual contracts, no monthly fees, and no hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. you can enjoy 3G wireless coverage at home or abroad in over 100 countries.


The Kindle can store up to 1,500 books and it allows you to read for one week on a single charge.


A great surprise for me is that my Kindle reads like real paper without glare, even in bright sunlight
