In our educational technology lecture on Monday, our class was introduced to some new gadgets. I found the Kindle wireless reading device to be fascinating and definitely something that I would consider buying in the future. I decided to do some more research to find out more details about the product.
First of all, Kindle is a product by Amazon.com that can hold up to 1,500 books on a slim, compact reader. The Kindle reader is easy to transport and can be taken anywhere as it is about the size of a magazine. It weighs 10.2 ounces and also does not require the use of a computer to use. The 6 inch display screen version costs $259 and the 9.7 inch screen is $489. It has global coverage (no fees), long battery life, 2 GB internal memory, read-to-me capability, and a large selection of books and other sources at low prices. There is a Kindle book store that contains over 450,000 books.
The Kindle is accessible to those with disabilities because the text is adjustable, clear pictures are available, the Kindle can read to you, there are many audiobooks, search engines, and a built in dictionary feature. This sounds like a great product for everyone!
