Kindle

Want to develop your kids love for reading? Why not give them a Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device  With fast, free wireless delivery, they can start reading books in less than 60 seconds even acrross the globe while traveling. This is because Kindle uses GSM technology - with wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, such as Australia, Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, Norway, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and many others. What' more if you prefer to read in another character, Kindle can now display Cyrillic (such as Russian), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean characters in addition to Latin and Greek scripts for certain file types. To view your personal documents with non-Latin characters on your Kindle, send your file as a Microsoft Word document (DOC) attachment to your Kindle's e-mail address ("name"@free.kindle.com). The file will be converted to Kindle format and sent to your Kindle via the Wi-Fi connection and also to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account at no charge.

With Text-to-Speech, Kindle can read English-language content out loud to your kids. In addition, Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary with over 250,000 entries and definitions, so they can look up the definitions of English words while reading. Tell them to move the cursor to the unfamiliar word and the definition will automatically display at the bottom of the screen. Kindle also includes free built-in access to the world's most exhaustive and up-to-date encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org.

By using the QWERTY keyboard, your kids can add annotations to text, just like they might write in the margins of a book. And because it is digital, they can edit, delete, and export their notes. They can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use. They'll never need to bookmark their last place in the book, because Kindle remembers for them and always opens to the last page they read. What's more your kids can share their favorite passages with friends and family to social networks like Facebook and Twitter directly from Kindle, without leaving the page. When they highlight or create a note in their book or periodical, they can easily share it with their social network.

Kindle can hold up to 3,500 books so your kids no longer need to pick and choose which books fit in their bag. They can always have their entire Kindle library with them. They can also delete files if they want to with the reassurance that Amazon automatically keep an archival copy of your kids Kindle books and they can re-download for free, anytime. Amazon even back up the last page your kids' read and annotations, so when they re-download to the device they can pick up where they left off with all of their notes still in place. Your kids can also organize their Kindle library into collections, or categories, to easily access any book they are looking for. They can add an item to multiple collections to make organizing and finding titles even easier. For example, they can add the same book to your "History" and "My Favorite Authors" collections.

If your kids want to talk about what they are reading to other kids who uses a printed copy, they can also cite passages or read alongside others in a book club or class with real page numbers that correspond to a book's print edition. Amazon added real page numbers to tens of thousands of Kindle books, including the top 100 bestselling books in the Kindle Store with matching print editions. All your child need to do is press the "Menu" button while reading to display page numbers.

Kindle has eight adjustable font sizes to suit your kids' reading preference. They can increase the text size of their favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If their eyes tire, they can increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Every book in their Kindle library can be large print. They can manually rotate the display from portrait to landscape to view maps, graphs, tables and Web pages. Images and photos display crisply on Kindle and can be zoomed to the full size of the screen. Using Kindle's 5-way controller, your kids can quickly flip between articles, making it faster and easier to browse and read the morning paper. If they want to remember the newspaper or magazine article they've just read, they can clip and save entire articles for later reading with a single click.
