To be sure, the Kindle e-book reader leaves little doubt now that a reading revolution is brewing. It has evidently become a current fad in white-collar circles. Everyone who has any reason to carry a will. Even for certain groups, it is an attraction to impress or a status to flaunt. Whether for pomp or purpose, or both, this device is all the rage.

You don’t have to be an avid reader to buy a Kindle eBook reader, but if you are, great! That’s what it’s all about to begin with. Basically, the Kindle is a super sheet of electronic paper encased in a high-tech frame that’s packed with cutting-edge intelligence and features. In the same way that the mobile phone is cellular, the Kindle is a cellular e-book reader connected to all telecommunications services from anywhere in the country.

The original Kindle didn’t have much in the way of looks for many and if you didn’t like the jarring look, well, Amazon listened. Check out the sleek and stylish Kindle 2, complete with excellent ergonomics this time for good measure. Now, there really is some resemblance to what people like to call it: the iPod of books. Now, don’t let good looks overshadow its functional prowess.

The Kindle may be flashy to admiring viewers, but to readers themselves, it actually elegantly disappears into the author’s world, a feature Amazon prides itself immensely on for its superstar product. The main design goal was to get the reader “lost in reading, not in technology.” However, it would be unfair to simply overlook its wonderful technology without mentioning it.

The Kindle e-book reader’s main distinction from its peers, or rivals, if you can, lies in its Whispernet, a wireless service through which content is transacted and also where Whispersync operates for intelligent synchronization between devices. Connectivity is via the 3G network and is included when you buy the Kindle eBook Reader, so there’s no bill on your part, and unlike WiFi, you never have to search for an access point.

Some say that at the end of the day, the Kindle 2 is just a book, but the best thing about this book is that it can be any book you want anytime, anywhere, from around 275,000, plus magazines and newspapers. Amazon publicly stated that its goal is to take advantage of any book that prints on every Kindle in the country in less than 60 seconds. That’s a pretty bold goal, but they’ve been bold before and they’ve achieved it.
