Gifting digital eBooks and Amazon Kindle as gift is perhaps a great idea for the Christmas, Valentines and Birthdays. Once you have the amazing Kindle you can purchase books for Kindle at the cheapest prices from the comfort of your home.
Amazon's new trick for this year was to build the next generation tablet which is larger and faster. The company realized very fast in the past that to stay in the competition with big leagues like Apple and Samsung, it should complete the necessary features from the user’s wish-list.
To be in the race is to have a digital fleet of flatter and sleek device that is easily to organize and read. Amazon’s prices are insane, they are much, much lower than the Apple’s IPad. Welcome to the world of Kindle Fire HDX and the Kindle Bookstore. Amazon's new HDX tablets are a huge technological leap beyond last year's models, but are still priced aggressively.

Do you find it easier to download eBooks and read it at your leisure?
In particular, I appreciate the accessibility of eBooks that allow one not to have to go out to a book department, bookstore or library in inclement weather or on a super-busy day.
Unfortunately, all the electronic-access to articles, books and paperwork creates more paper demand, not less. It encourages clear-cutting and mono-species plantings.
People still like having that paper back-up to so many things, necessary for forms, pleasant for having on hand to refer to at leisure.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone had the commitment of the Vrindavan widows to making beautiful paper from recyclable materials and of the recycling groups that truly recycle glass, metal, paper and plastic?
I have yet to take the plunge. I still like the paper versions.
Sounds as an excellent suggestion. Planning to buy one in the future so i guess there is some thinking to do before I go ahead with my decision.
I finally got a Kindle Paperwhite. Then I got a really nice red cover. Am in love with both. It looks like a notebook and yet holds 63 books already. It's great to be able to access Project Gutenberg for free public domain titles. I have been revisiting some old favorites and reading some I've meant to read for years and years. What a great toy :) I was planning to write an article about it, too, at some point. I rushed to get it and now they're releasing a newer model. Fortunately, it's not significantly different from mine. From what I read in your other article, however, Kindle Fire HDX is quite a different game from Kindle Fire HD. I am tempted, but the iPad is awfully alluring, too. So expensive though.
