Have Kindle – Will Travel

I keep thinking what an AWESOME gift an Amazon Kindle would be for my husband. He is such a reader – so when he goes on his little ‘business trips’ he always brings 4 or 5 books with him for the plane rides and the down-time. The Kindle is sleek and only about the width and height of a regular paperback so it would be a cinch to pack it in a backpack. Plus – it can fit not only 4 or 5 books – but thousands of books!

I’ve played around with the Kindle a bit and it’s not like reading from a regular screen at all. The background is white (or – from what I hear whatever color you want) and the text is black – so it’s very easy on the eyes. It comes in two sizes also – the Kindle (6″ diagonal screen) and the Kindle DX (9.7″ diagonal screen).

If it seems like it’s a bit “breakable” think of this – there are already covers you can buy for the Kindle. Plus – the Otter box people already have an awesome cover for the iPod – it’s only a matter of time before one comes out for the Kindle!
