Amazon Kindle

We all know how great the Amazon Kindle and Amazon Kindle DX are.  For any bookworm out there, life wouldn’t be the same without your electronic book reader.  Amazon.com announced recently the addition of a new member to the Kindle family.  Taking into account that probably one of the most used times for the Kindle is traveling, Amazon.com has now made a Kindle with U.S. as well as international wireless service.

Now you can download from pretty much anywhere in the world with the new Amazon Kindle US and International Wireless Reading Device.  The new Kindle utilizes GSM technology along with the 3G Whispernet to now provide wireless downloads in over 100 countries.  You can be on that long trip overseas and still get your daily home newspaper, magazine subscriptions, and your favorite blog posts sent right to your Kindle.

The new Amazon Kindle US and International Wireless Reading Device is otherwise similar to the Amazon Kindle with all of the bells and whistles of the Amazon Kindle.  Still as thin as a magazine with the dimensions of a paperpack book, ergonomic design, 1,500 book capacity with downloads in under 60 seconds, paper-like screen with E-ink technology to simulate the look of real paper and no backlighting to cause eye strain, long battery life, full keyboard, and read-to-me technology, it’s the same old Kindle just now more worldly.

The new Amazon Kindle US and International Wireless Reading Device will be made available on October 19, 2009 for the price of $279.  The other important news is that Amazon.com can now ship the new Amazon Kindle to other countries outside the U.S. which is a change from previous when shipping was only available within the U.S.

For all those intenationally traveling business people or for those lucky travelers getting those extended vacations overseas, you never have to be left without your newest book, newspaper, or magazine.  Never need to visit the bookstand at the airport again.
