I also relax into the authors words, stories and ideas. The physical book is so elegant that is disappears into the background. and what remains is the authors world.Today. we at Amazon are excited to announce Kindle, a wireless. portable readingdevice with instant access to more than 90.000 books. Magazines and newspapers.Weve been working on Kindle for more than three years. Our top design objectivewas for Kindle to disappear in your hands-to get out of the way-so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Kindle is wireless, so whether youre lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed-you do your reading directly from the device.We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install(安装，设置)。We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.Kindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong 4light, reading on Kindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Kindle weighs only 10.3 ounces-less than paperback-but can carry hundredBooks.Enjoy learning about Kindle and many thanks!21.
