The Amazon Kindle e-book reader is currently one of the best selling electronic product on the internet.
Its sleek design and high 'cool' factor has started an e-book reader revolution especially in the USA.
Although it is no doubt a handy gadget that everyone should have, the Kindle is not exactly the cheapest gadget on the shelves.
Here are a couple of things that you should know before you get one.
First of all, one of Kindle's major features is its Whispernet coverage.
Through this coverage, you can access the online bookstore anytime to buy a book of your choice.
Although the Whispernet service can be accessed in the most of the USA, there are certain areas that do not have this coverage.
To make the most out of this e-book reader, make sure that you are within coverage.
If not, you can still access the store over the internet.
The Amazon Kindle is designed for reading novels or paperback sized books.
Reading these books is a delight on this device.
Although it can also read newspapers and magazines, it is not optimized for reading these sort of media.
If you plan to use the device to read newspapers and magazines, you should get the Kindle DX instead.
At the time of writing, the Kindle costs around $299 each.
To make sure that this device would be worth the investment, you should at least read a book every month throughout the year.
If you do, the Kindle will definitely be worth the investment in the long run, not to mention that it will be great for the environment.
