You can get an Amazon Kindle in any color you want……..as long as you want off-white. The Kindle is slightly larger and a little heavier than Sony’s Reader (7.5” x 5.3” x 0.7” and 10.3 ounces). Amazon sells the Kindle for $359. The Kindle runs off of a rechargeable battery or power from an electrical outlet. Amazon has set up a special ”Kindle“ store as part of its massive website structure (www.amazon.com/kindle will get you to the Kindle store.

The Kindle’s built-in keyboard facilitates making notes. It also has a click-wheel for navigation and menu selections. You turn pages on the Kindle by pressing a panel on either the right or left side of the screen. The right side has a long panel button for the next page and a very short one for turning back to the previous page.
On your left hand side of the book, you will find a medium-sized panel for the next page and a longer panel for the previous page. Those page-turners represent one of the Kindle’s lesser features.
