Amazon Kindle Makes Great Christmas Present This Year


If you've been trying to think of a good Christmas present for the book lover in your family, maybe it's time to get that person an e-book reader. While there are several options on the market now, it's hard to go wrong with the Amazon Kindle. Their new models are very affordable, and there are lots of other features to make this device a winner. Let's take a look:

Easy-to-read "book like" screen

One of the things you'll notice when you turn on a Kindle is there aren't a lot of bells and whistles on the screen - there's not even color! The low-glare Kindle screen is designed so you can read comfortably in bright sunlight, indoor light, and anything in between. It's not back-lit, like a computer screen, so you can't read it in the dark, but this is exactly what makes it easy on the eyes. It's more akin to reading a real book than gazing at a laptop all day. Grab a kindle cover with an attached reading light (lots of them available), and you'll be able to read it anywhere, anytime.

Compact and lightweight

After years of turning my nose up at e-readers in favor of "good old paperback books," I was finally sold by the idea that I could take dozens (thousands!) of books with me when I traveled, and they'd all be stored in this lightweight device. The new Kindles are smaller than a paperback book, but they can hold thousands of hours' worth of reading material. It's a great gift for anyone who travels, even if it's just to go camping a couple times a year.

Long-life battery

This was another selling point for me. I'm an Apple fan (MacBook, iMac, iPhone, iPod!), but I ultimately chose the Kindle over the iPad because I liked the idea of only needing to charge my e-reader once every couple of weeks. I didn't want something that sucked down more power and required daily charging. With the kindle, you can "read War and Peace on a single charge."

Affordable price

This was another reason I chose the Kindle over the iPad. I didn't need all the fancy apps that come with the Apple e-reader (as I mentioned, I already had all those things on my other Apple devices); I just wanted to read books. This is what the Kindle is designed for, and it does it well. It also does it for less than $200 (less than $150 if you get the least expensive model).

Ease of downloading books

You don't ever have to hook the Kindle up to your computer if you don't want to. The wireless comes without a monthly fee (big plus!), and you can connect to Amazon's "whispernet" to shop for ebooks and download them to your device.

All in all, the Amazon Kindle makes a fine Christmas present for book lovers of all ages. Even non-techy people who aren't gadget-fanatics have been known to love this e-reader. Plus, once you buy someone a Kindle, you'll always know what to get them for Christmas and birthdays in years to come (more ebooks!).

Enjoy, and happy holiday shopping.

If you are searching for holiday gifts for someone you love, you should consider purchasing an ebook reader. People who love to read books will love Kindle as it integrates with Amazon library of ebooks. Rather than carrying loads of books, a simple and portable electronic reader is easy to carry and it can hold several hundreds of books.

Ebooks have helped people to invest time in reading and you should encourage the reading habit by making it high tech for your loved ones. Kindle is the best ebook reader in the market and Amazon rules with its exclusive eReader and thousands of selection of ebooks in the Amazon market.

Which Model To Buy?

Once you have decided that an ebook reader is the best gift for holidays, you should learn more about different types like Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboad and Kindle DX. Even though it was first developed as an ebook reader, latest generation touch screen models and fall models offer many more features like web browsing, multimedia and memory expansion capability. Moreover, electronic books readers are very affordable and if you go for latest models, you have to obviously spend more. The right type of ebook reader greatly depends on how your recipient will be using it.

Amazon Kindle Ebook Reader - Is it a Good Holiday Present?


How do you know what makes a great present for someone for Christmas? Everybody that wants to do the gift thing wants the gift to be received well right? You want the person getting the gift to feel the effort you put into getting it for them, you want them to understand just exactly what it was that was required from you to get this gift to them.

Well that's all fine and dandy but in reality that's not necessarily going to happen unless you are talking about your spouse. Your husband or wife will most likely understand what it took for you to get the gift including the thoughtfulness of the original idea itself.

What do you buy for someone that you work with, how about someone that works for you. Picking the right gift without giving the wrong impression can sometimes be tough, especially if your a man buying for a women. In this day and age it seems you have to be careful not to offend anyone with your choice of gift and you for sure don't want to give the wrong idea because of what you decided to give.

Giving a gift that says you respect them and think they are intelligent always goes over well. You also have to consider the amount of money you spend as spending too much will also give the wrong idea.

This year there is one thing that fits nicely into the basic criteria of giving without over giving, let the person know you respect them and think they are intelligent without giving any under tones and having a chance of someone reading between the lines and thinking something that isn't true.

If you have a few bucks to spend on someone that you appreciate this year and want to give something that he or she will like without giving the wrong idea than the Amazon Kindle Ebook Reader might be right for you.

For anyone that likes to read, the Kindle ebook Reader could be the best present they have ever received, its small and very portable and built well so its no short term piece of junk. Its something you will feel good giving, not only is it very popular, but as a reader they might have already thought of it or even wished someone close to them was thinking of getting them one. They really are very cool!

I purchased a Kindle 2 and I use it almost everyday, my favorite time to use it is in the evening after things settle down for the day. If I feel like getting a new book to read on my ebook Reader it is as easy as a couple of clicks, I don't even have to plug into anything to do it. Totally wireless, books in less than 60 seconds!

With about 500,000 books available for instant download to the Kindle ebook reader and more available everyday, half the price or less than the printed version, always having a good book with you when you travel or have to wait somewhere, no worries about books stacking up after you read them, its hard not to like the Kindle.

At around $200 the Kindle ebook reader is more than what a lot of people might want to spend, but for that person you want to buy something nice for, to thank them for their year of hard work, not give them the wrong idea or impression, than the Amazon Kindle Ebook Reader may be the perfect gift this year!

I think my Kindle is the best thing I've got in many years and I believe under the right circumstances it makes the perfect holiday gift.




Its hard to find the right gift many times and being busy all the time its also hard to have the time to do the research to figure out what you want to give, how much to spend and how not to get in trouble giving the wrong thing.

I believe the Amazon Kindle Ebook Reader makes the perfect gift for someone that wants to spend a few bucks and not get into trouble by giving the wrong gift by either the gift receiver, or your spouse.
