Amazon Kindle

I have recently purchased an Amazon Kindle. Books delivered electorally have been around for a few years as has the Kindle. The Kindle I purchased is a version 2.0 and I can say I like it.
The first feature I like is the ability to browse the Amazon book store and download a book to the device anytime I like. I do not have to wait for shipping, it downloads within five minutes. I also do not have the storage issues I have with books. It all stays on the Kindle.
I can also mark pages I want to go to and it will allow me to go back. It also puts me back at the page I left off. I also like to read numerous books, so it allows me to flip between books very easily.
Finally, the last nice feature that I like is the ability to download computer manuals I need to the device. I can easily find what I am looking for without the issue of hauling a large book around.
The price is not all that bad either. It costs around $299. The books are also cheaper than most, coming in around $5 -$10 dollars a book. Overall, it has been a great purchase and I recommend it.
