People all over the world read for entertainment. Some people read strictly for information or enlightenment or because they have an assignment from a teacher or a boss. And there are people who seldom read at all. Those people don't view their books as friends, they see them as tools or nuisances. But, for the lucky ones who love to read for the sake of the joy they attain, the Amazon Kindle 2 has come along to revolutionize the world.
It's hard to imagine a paper book that will increase the size of the print when you get tired or that will take over and read it to you just because you'd prefer it that way. But, the Amazon Kindle 2 has the capability of reading to you and having the font increased. When eReaderswere first discussed, the people who read for pleasure were appalled at the thought of not having a paper book. A paper book, by the generic quality of the paper and ink, invites the reader to get lost in the printed word. This is part of the experience, it probably explains why books for adults don't feature a lot of illustrations, we don't need them. Well, no one could quite get their mind around a device that could be subtle enough to allow someone to forget the gadget and read the book. The people at Amazon recognized that need for anonymity. The designers were reminded that readers want the vehicle to be anonymous, to fade into the background of the experience.
Thus, the Amazon Kindle 2 features its bells and whistles without bells and whistles to attract attention. The benefits of the Kindle 2 are part and parcel of its design. It's ready when you are, no cords or peripherals or slots and gadgets, just turn it on and read. If you need a new book, it can be yours in the sixty seconds it takes to download it. No need to run to the store or wait for delivery, the book is there, ready for you in about a minute. There are always going to be books that you missed, now you have the chance to find them in the Kindle Store or other online sources and read to your heart's content. And because it's the most amazing feature of all, you can have the Kindle 2 read it to you. How radical is that?
