Why Is Kindle Keyboard the Best New Year Gift for Seniors?


The Baby Boomers and those in the better side of 50 belong to a generation, which still cherishes the allure of holding and reading an interesting book, sitting quietly near their favorite window or in the shade of a tree or in the cozy comfort of their bedroom. Kindle Keyboard could well be the ideal gift for these book lovers, primarily because of its near perfect feel and experience of a light paperback and also due to its e-ink display.

Kindle Keyboard has several attractive features and functions. Weighing only 8.5 ounces, it is lighter than a standard paperback. Since its thickness is just 1/3 of an inch, Kindle is actually a great deal thinner than a normal book. It offers very clear and crisp text and pictures due to its superior contrast E Ink display, which does not cause any eye strain.

Just like actual paper print, it is possible to read it in dazzling daylight as well as in the bedroom lamp. On the other hand, the reflective displays in other LCD tablets and portable computers makes them difficult to read in bright light and quite a few people find that the backlighting in these LCD tires their eyes when reading for long durations.

Even though it weighs much less compared to book, Kindle Keyboard is able to hold entire home library in its memory. It has the capacity to carry as much as 3500 books within its 3GB of user content memory. Your books and other reading content can easily be downloaded from Amazon's substantial choice of more than a million books, which include latest best sellers from New York Times. Additionally, you can also easily get Audio books, periodicals and other reading materials. Most of these publications and periodicals could be downloaded straight t your reader using its inbuilt Wi-Fi facility. Although you can purchase your books and reading material in Kindle format from Amazon at reasonable prices, you can also easily gain access to over 2 million free of charge, out-of-copyright, pre-1923 publications including classics like Pride and Prejudice. Additionally, if you avail Amazon Prime membership, Kindle holders can pick from a huge number of books to loan free of cost once a month without any due date. This collection includes more than several latest and past Bestsellers.

Kindle has amazing battery time. When fully charged, it can be used for up to two months if used for half an hour per day with the Wi-Fi kept in 'off position'.

This reader is quite uncomplicated to operate. It's got noiseless buttons conveniently located at the edges with which you can flip pages effortlessly without the need of moving your fingers. It is shipped in ready to use condition and there is no set up to be done, software to be installed or computer to be used.

For those seniors who have got some handicaps in reading, Kindle Keyboard has yet another amazing feature. It has the capability to read out loudly English passages from the displayed pages. Furthermore, you are also able to download from a collection of 60000 Audible.com audio. It can play mp3 songs too. Kindle also has the convenience of making the reading fonts larger or smaller to suit your visibility and effortless reading.

The features mentioned in this article are attributes offered in Kindle Keyboard. Other available models are Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Touch 3G, Kindle Keyboard 3G, Kindle DX and Kindle Fire. Every one of them varies in their capabilities. Having said that, I personally feel that Kindle Keyboard could be the ideally suited one for use by an elderly person due to its ease of use.

Because of its uncomplicated user friendly functions and excellent utility, Kindle Keyboard is the perfect gift make your parents or seniors happy, specifically for those who enjoy reading. Kindle Keyboard is delivered at your doorstep in many of the countries which includes India and the payment can be made using your credit card.
