Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Included in the Kindle box
Kindle wireless reader
Book cover
Power adapter
USB 2.0 cable

Step 1

Available for purchase from Amazon.com, the Kindle is easy to use and totally wireless. Essentially, it is an Ipod for books.
Step 2

After purchasing the Kindle, you can use it anywhere because it utilizes the same 3G network as advanced cell phones and you'll never have to find a "hot spot."
Step 3

Anytime you want to read one of the 90,000 books currently available for the Kindle (including most of the New York Times bestsellers), you can first preview the first chapter for free. After that, most books are available for $9.99.
Step 4

The Kindle is lighter and thinner than most books and holds over 200 titles.
Step 5

The Kindle has a long battery life. If you leave the wireless on you will need to recharge approximately every other day. If you turn the wireless off and just use the device to read, it will run for over a week before requiring a two-hour battery recharge.

Tips & Warnings

Both U.S. and international newspapers are available for wireless auto-delivery.
Over 250 of the top blogs from business, sports, entertainment, technology and politics can be updated wirelessly throughout the day.
There are no monthly wireless bills, service plans or commitments; once you buy the Kindle you pay only for your reading material.
With Kindle, you can email your Word documents and pictures.
The Kindle, although expensive at $399, is a huge step forward in the category of e-books and is bound to be improved. The likelihood is, the first Kindle will soon look as quaint as the original bulky Ipod.
