If you like reading and learning then the Amazon Kindle may be the new gadget for you. After all how often do you have the capacity to carry 200 books with you? However, only a few grams of lead weight.

 Also you will have instant access to a dictionary and other reference manuals with a touch of a button. Not to mention the ability to browse and download best sellers, newspapers and blogs on the go.

 To conserve battery life, press Alt-A, and put the Kindle in sleep mode. If reading and need time to review the press Alt-T, or press the search button and type the time @.

 If you are unsure of where you are or where you're going? When in browser mode press Alt-1 and Kindle will plot your current location on Google maps. Alt-2 is located near the gas stations, and Alt-3 are restaurants. You can use Alt-5 to create your own search.

 You can also listen to audio books free on Kindle and use of online applications such as Yahoo Messenger, Gmail, Google Reader, and the mobile version of Google Calendar.

 Once you have found your way into the Kindle and have filled it with those 200 titles. You may find that you have run out of space in your eBook reader well stocked. Do not worry. You can expand the storage capacity of your Kindle with an SD of 4 or 8 GB or SDHC.

 The Kindle is one of the best gadgets out there, and e-book readers are definitely the wave of the future. Imagine college students do not have to carry lots of heavy books and skip those four hours bookstore lines in total. Not to mention the cost savings and instant updates and corrections.

 Books arent going away, but I think the e-book readers will be more popular and will soon be part of the mainstream. Imagine lying on a beach and surf bestsellers, actually deciding to read during vacation rental instead of having to pack something we hope will be interesting. Even Oprah is a fan of the Kindle. She likes to spend his Sunday morning reading the latest issue of The New York Times, without even getting out of bed. Ebook readers are definitely the wave of the future, and the Kindle is a great start for this wave.
