5.0 out of 5 stars I have used it and love it, November 19, 2007 I was one of the "test subjects" for the device. I have been using it for about 2 months and it has changed the way I read. The only complaint I had was that I was not able to use the device outside of my home. The books/mags/newspapers appear for all intents and purposes "instantly". It is actually more pleasant that reading a book. The screen adjusts for the light and the the ergonomics are perfect for me. I have a large library and can only see buying a "book" now if it does not offered on the Kindle or if it has great sentimental value.

Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.
We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both "lefties" and "righties" can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.
We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read.
With Whispernet, you can be anywhere, think of a book, and get it in one minute. Similarly, your content automatically comes to you, wherever you are. Newspaper subscriptions are delivered wirelessly each morning. Most magazines arrive before they hit newsstands. Haven’t read the book for tomorrow night’s book club? Get it in a minute. Finished your book in the airport? Download the sequel while you board the plane. Whether you’re in the mood for something serious or hilarious, lighthearted or studious, Kindle delivers your spontaneous reading choices on demand.
And because we know you can't judge a book by its cover, Kindle lets you download and read the beginning of books for free. This way, you can try it out—if you like it, simply buy and download with 1-Click, right from your Kindle, and continue reading. Want to try a newspaper as well? All newspaper subscriptions start with a risk-free two-week trial.
Kindle’s paperback size and expandable memory let you travel light with your library. With the freedom to download what you want, when you want, we hope you’ll never again find yourself stuck without a great read.
We're very proud to introduce Amazon Kindle and we hope you like it as much as we do.
- The Amazon Kindle Team paper-like screen
Paper-like Screen Utilizing a new high-resolution display technology called electronic paper, Kindle provides a crisp black-and-white screen that resembles the appearance and readability of printed paper. The screen works using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically. It reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic displays. As a result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room.The screen never gets hot so you can comfortably read as long as you like.
See what others are saying about the Kindle screen:
James Patterson, author of You've Been Warned, "The screen is fabulous. You would expect that, with a screen, there would be a glare, it would be hard to read but it's not. There’s no glare. It's not backlit, which is kind of magical. I think people are going to be very, very surprised and delighted. This is a lot easier to read than a lot of books are these days."
Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, "I'm telling you, after five minutes I've ceased to think I'm looking at a screen. It's not like reading a computer screen. It's more like reading a piece of paper. I think it's actually clearer, easier on the eye than the printed word."
Neil Gaiman, author of Stardust, "It's like paper and it’s very interesting. It’s very, very crisp. Very functional. Very readable." Wireless Access
Wireless Access with Whispernet™ Whispernet utilizes Amazon's optimized technology plus Sprint's national high-speed (EVDO) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, download, and read content on the go.
Unlike WiFi, you don't have to find a hotspot. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you will never see a monthly wireless bill for shopping the Kindle Store. There is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase and read right out of the box. Check Wireless Coverage
Lightweight Carry Your Library in 10.3 Ounces At 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than typical paperbacks, and fits easily in one hand. Its built-in memory stores hundreds of titles. An optional SD memory card lets you hold even more. From Melville to Morrison, your favorite authors can always be with you.
In addition, a copy of every book you purchase is backed up online in Your Media Library in case you ever need to download it again. This allows you to make room for new titles on your device, knowing that Amazon is storing your personal library, which can always be re-downloaded wirelessly. If you are out of wireless coverage, such as traveling overseas, you can download books to your computer from Your Media Library and transfer via USB to your Kindle. Think of it as a bookshelf in your attic—even though you don't see it, you know your books are there. Ergonomic Ergonomic Design We wanted Kindle to be as easy to hold and use as a book, so we designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions often. Kindle's full-length, vertical page-turning buttons are located on either side, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably from any position. Navigation on both sides means both "lefties" and "righties" can easily use Kindle with one hand. And at only 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than a typical paperback.

American Gramaphone presents "CHRISTMAS SONG" - featuring Chip Davis and Mannheim Steamroller, the first new Mannheim Steamroller Christmas studio album since the multi-platinum "Christmas Extraordinaire" in 2001 --- Mr. Chip Davis is a man of many talents, the main one is his ability to surpass what he has already achieved, and this my friend is where "Christmas Song" the album, enters the "2007 Holiday Season" - before I mention anything else --- take a look at the past Holiday albums with "CHRISTMAS" [1984] -- "FRESH AIRE CHRISTMAS" [1988] -- "CHRISTMAS IN THE AIRE" [1995] -- "CHRISTMAS LIVE" [1997] -- "CHRISTMAS EXTRAORDINAIRE" [2001] --- are very special to me, unforgettable and a must around my home during the Christmas Season, but this new release is very touching --- Remember Mannheim Steamroller more than 30 years ago with their Grammy Award winning "Fresh Aire Series" --- Chip Davis is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the music industry with more than 32 million albums sold, an annual Christmas tour that is consistently ranked as the best selling of any artist, bar none.
Have it on good authority that original compositions and arrangements are each inspired by Chip's family, making this the most personal album of his career --- Watching his son experiencing a snowstorm inspired, "CATCHING SNOWFLAKES ON YOUR TONGUE" -- "CHRISTMAS LULLABY" featuring Olivia Newton-John was written with heartfelt lyrics for his daughter Kelly -- "FELIZ NAVIDAD" was arranged for his daughter Elyse, and "HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS" was arranged for his wife
Christmas Song (2007) 1 Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow [3:42] 2 The Christmas Song / Johnny Mathis [3:21] 3 Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town [2:54] 4 It Came Upon the Midnight Clear [2:45] 5 Feliz Navidad [3:51] 6 Catching Snowflakes on Your Tongue [4:09] 7 Masters in This Hall [2:45] 8 Above the Northern Lights [4:33] 9 Frosty the Snowman [4:24] 10 Traditions of Christmas Music Box [0:36] 11 Christmas Lullaby / Olivia Newton-John [3:59] 12 Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas [5:29]
Mannheim Steamroller is the creation of former jingle composer Chip Davis, a Midwestern musician who first achieved success as the co-writer of the 1975 pop hit "Convoy." --- Chip used his royalties from that song to set up his own studio and launch the Steamroller, a project that fused instrumental pop with classical and jazz influences and a rock beat --- Mannheim Steamroller's albums became wildly successful and set the stage for much of the "adult contemporary" and new age instrumental music of subsequent decades --- Chip achieved perhaps his greatest popularity with a series of Christmas albums that have become perennial staples of the holiday season.
Mannheim Steamroller has sold more Christmas albums than any other artist in music history --- Chip's first all new release since 2001 features Johnny Mathis singing "The Christmas Song", plus unique arrangements of 11 other Christmas classics --- Just when you thought there was no Santa Claus, Chip Davis has done it again -- "CHRISTMAS SONG" has the old magic from his previous albums --- which by the way have all been recorded on HDCD, very beautiful gift pack containing selections telling the Christmas Story --- all 12 selections are special and from the heart, which is why we are drawn to Chip's music --- for instance listen to Chip's arrangement of "IT CAME UPON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR", remember the last track on his "Christmas" [1984], who can forget the touching "STILLE NACHT", this has the same effect, as the first time --- blends with counterpoints of melody, this is when Christmas music leaves you feeling good all over --- doesn't get any better than a "Mannheim Christmas", can't remember what it was like before their music touched us, another Mannheim Christmas --- Over a quarter of a century later, we're still at it...listening, collecting and anticipating each new Mannheim Steamroller release and what delights they bring --- may they always charm the listeners old and new with their special magic --- Holiday cheer for the whole family --- just the way we like 'em!

I was a little skeptical this game would live up to the hype. Then some diminished reviews came around and I was already feeling a let down. Where could they go wrong? Was my thoughts. Well that didn't stop me from purchasing this game. After 30 minutes I was blown away. All skepticism was gone and I was in Gamer Heaven.
Let me start off from the beginning. Yes there is a plot twist and it's pretty bizarre. Just think that your watching a Michael Crichton movie and it will make sense. Playing in the Middle East several hundred years ago is a different idea. It's hard to say what you could expect with this concept.
So what makes this game amazing. Lets start off with the landscape. It's brilliant and beautiful...Really majestic. You don't understand the scope of this game until you start playing. The world is surrounded by several small villages and three large cities. The only way to travese this open terrain with a horse. Fortunately they are about as easy to find as a car in todays society.
What also sets this game apart is the ability to do what you want when you want. There is no clock on you and your not stuck going into a mission. Everything is open based. The character is amazingly fun to control you can scale tall buildings and make amazing leaps of faith. Climbing up a building that is several stories and then leaping to certain doom is breathtaking excitement. This is what games should be about.
Beyond that is a mission based game. Similiar to Grand Theft Auto in style. You can accept simple missions like pickpocketing and protecting citizens to the more main based assasin missions. You can battle soldiers if you want as you have many enemies but it's not really advised. Following the assasin missions can be complex and involve several steps that make the story very intresting. Obviously a lot of time was put into making this top notch.
For anyone who likes open based games with large environments then Assassins Creed is for you. From the majestic peaks to the clustered cities. This is trully a next gen experience. The storyline and incentive program will keep you playing for many hours. Definately a worthwhile gameplay experience. If you want something to keep you busy that doesn't involve guns go out and get Assasins Creed.
This is a review about the multiplayer. After all this is why most of us bought this game. After having been a part of the Beta Test on the 360 I can tell you that this is without a doubt the best multiplayer experience I've ever had on any console be it 360, PC or PS3. It's fantastic folks and it's the reason multiplayer was invented so we could get games like this. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
First the basics. This is a military shooter. But where this stands apart from all the shooters out on the market right now is that it's one of the first to take the battlefield into the Middle East and modern day hence it's name. This is something a lot of us have longed for. No longer are we fighting Nazis we are now fighting Terrorists. And the game is better for it. Not that I did not enjoy the WWII epics that have come down the pike but this is without a doubt a refreshing change of pace and really amps up the magnitude of intensity and really puts a refreshing spin on the series.
The graphics. You will be hard pressed to find a better looking FPS right now except per say Bioshock. But we are talking about realism and a military shooter here and this is where Call Of Duty 4 really just explodes with eye candy. You will feel like you are in the locations you are fighting. This is the best looking game I've seen period when it comes to realism. Infinity Ward did a bang up job and your jaw will be on the floor.
The single player mission is no walk in the park either. Play it on Veteran. While this is a great aspect to the game it's short lived and that's OK. Think of the single player experience as your basic training for the multiplayer. It's worth playing through and the story is really tight.
