Amazon.com: Kindle: Amazon’s New Wireless Reading Device: Kindle Store

Accessories

“This is the future of book reading. It will be everywhere.” Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball and Liar’s Poker.

Introducing Kindle™

Three years ago, we set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle.

We designed Kindle to provide an exceptional reading experience. Thanks to electronic paper, a revolutionary new display technology, reading Kindle’s screen is as sharp and natural as reading ink on paper—and nothing like the strain and glare of a computer screen. Kindle is also easy on the fingertips. It never becomes hot and is designed for ambidextrous use so both “lefties” and “righties” can read comfortably at any angle for long periods of time.

We wanted Kindle to be completely mobile and simple to use for everyone, so we made it wireless. No PC and no syncing needed. Using the same 3G network as advanced cell phones, we deliver your content using our own wireless delivery system, Amazon Whispernet. Unlike WiFi, you’ll never need to locate a hotspot. There are no confusing service plans, yearly contracts, or monthly wireless bills—we take care of the hassles so you can just read.

DLO | Portable Speakers for iPhone

Small enough for home, office or dormitory desktops, the speakers also
feature a unique compact design that makes them ideal for travel. Each
speaker snaps neatly into the base to create a “ball” approximately 6
inches in diameter. The base features a recessed area for keeping cords
securely wrapped and out of the way when not in use. Powered by either
AAA batteries or the included AC adapter, the DLO Portable Speakers for
iPhone are versatile enough to be used at home or on the go. Although
our Portable Speakers were created with the iPhone in mind, they will
also work with any audio device that has a 3.5mm headphone jack.

FRED - 500XL DESKTOP EARBUD SPEAKERS

500XL DESKTOP EARBUD SPEAKERS


Bigger, Better, Louder, Cooler

 

Sometimes bigger IS better, especially when it comes to sound. That’s
why we took a puny pair of earbuds, put them in Fred’s highly technical
Way Big machine, and created 500XL - it’s 500 times the size of the
original! And how great will these look on your desktop alongside your
mp3 player or pc?
These speakers include a built-in amp, and they’re powered by either
batteries or a standard wall-plug power supply (not included).
