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.

Amazon Kindle DX
Prepare to alter the process of reading forever! With the release of the Amazon Kindle and Amazon Kindle DX electronic book readers, Amazon.Com is doing just that.
Amazon.Com released the first model Kindle in November, 2007 and it was instantly loved by the book-reading public. The second model Amazon Kindle was released in February, 2009 and the eagerly anticipated Amazon Kindle DX in June, 2009.
So, what’s the difference concerning the two models? The Amazon Kindle is the tinier model with a six inch display screen. The Kindle light weight at an impressive 10.2 ounces, has 2GB internal storage space letting it hold 1,500 books, and is just about the size of a paperback and the thickness of a magazine. The Amazon Kindle DX is the Kindle’s larger sibling with a 9.7 inch display screen, 4GB internal storage space letting it hold 3,500 books, with the dimensions of a magazine, and an internal PDF reader that the Kindle does not have.
What is similar in both Kindles is the underlying notion that Amazon.Com hoped for when crafting them. To have the reader lose them self in the novel and not notice what they heald in their hands while reading it. Amazon.Com has succeeded well in accomplishing this. Likely the most noteworthy area is the display itself. Both Kindles utilize an E Ink� electronic paper display with high resolution and 16-level gray scale to provide the appearance of printed paper. The display lacks glare or backlight to give strain to the reader’s eyes. This along with the ergonomic design, easy to use buttons, and low weight combine to make the reading experience more enjoyable.
An additional great feature shared by the Amazon Kindle and Amazon Kindle DX is the free Whispernet wireless technology that is a from the Sprint 3G high-speed network that is used for downloading. Therefore the Kindle does not requires a computer or internet connection to get into the Kindle Store. Because of the quickness of the 3G network, books also download in less than 60 seconds. This technology also grants automatic downloads of magazines, newspapers, and blogs on the run do to the extended nationwide coverage of the Sprint 3G network. The best thing about this is that this is entirely free when you buy the Amazon Kindle or Amazon Kindle DX.
New extras that Amazon.Com has installed in both the Kindle and Kindle DX include a read-to-me function which allows you to have your Kindle read out loud your favorite book, magazine, newspaper, or blog to you; capability to bookmark and place annotations using the complete QWERTY keyboard, a preinstalled dictionary, preinstalled free access to Wikipedia.Org, access to Audible.Com to download audio books, a basic web browser for searching the web, a library back-up of all owned books at Amazon.Com, and a mp3 player inside letting you to hear your music while reading.
Is the Amazon Kindle and Amazon Kindle DX suitable for everyone? No, with a just lowered cost of $299 for the Kindle and a robust $489 for the Kindle DX, the Kindle family is really only for the dedicated reader that is weary of making multiple journeys to the library or having a library of their own at their house. With top-sellers and new releases only $9.99 per download, for these people the Kindle is well worth the money. For the infrequent reader however, the cost may not be justifiable.

The Amazon Kindle 2 e-book reader improves upon the original Kindle in many aspects. Although pricey, we still recommend the Kindle 2 because of Amazons extensive library of content.
