“With the Kindle, I have now replaced the weight of multiple books with a mere 10.3 ounces (less than some of the books I read!)."

In November 2007 I read Michael Hyatt’s blog, “From Where I Sit” about his first impressions of the Kindle (Amazon’s portable reading device that enables you to wirelessly download books, newspapers, blogs, and magazines). Hyatt described the pros and cons of this device, and I was immediately intrigued.

For one, I’m on the road more than I’m at home, so the Kindle seemed like it would really come in handy. Plus, I’ve always wanted to subscribe to The New York Times. Receiving it in print format at home would just result in piles of papers that would never get read. I could subscribe online, but reading on my laptop is not very rewarding or relaxing.

Beyond The New York Times, the Kindle currently has nine U.S. newspapers available, including The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. You can receive free 14-day trial subscriptions if you want to “test” the papers before purchasing. ...

“Have you ever bought a book thinking it was going to be great, only to find that you didn’t enjoy it at all? The Kindle enables you to try a sample of a book that you can maintain in a ‘save for later’ list."
