D00701 Kindle Ebook Reader Review
The D00701 Kindle Wireless Reading Device is one of my favorite gadgets of the year. Actually there is so much to tell about this new way of getting information that I really don’t know where to start.
Ok, let’s start with some first impressions when I first unpacked my Kindle package. I had only seen pictures of it before and maybe that was the reason that I was quite impressed when I got it in my hands. It’s so slim and light…really comfortable to handle. Nice looking too.

When I load my first book I notice that the text is very clear and easy to read. I have also tested the Kindle outdoors and I was happy to found that I easily could read the latest Dan Brown on the beach in the clear sunlight.
You can also change the fonts and a really nice feature is that when you get tired of reading you turn on the text to speech feature and listen to the book. Amazing!
The technology used in this eBook reader is the same as in the cell phones. This means that you also can read newspapers, magazines and main blogs from your device.
You can browse the complete Amazon library and also purchase new books directly from your Kindle. I have noticed that many titles are actually cheaper and I suppose that is a way to make the Kindle D00701 more popular.
Auto delivery of newspapers and magazines are another nice feature. You have the daily news loaded in your reader before breakfast.
A couple of other nice features are full access to Wikipedia and an easy way to add notes to the book that you are reading. This was a really great improvement from the early audio books. I always got the feeling that I would like to remember certain parts of the book but never could because I would find the right part later.
Overall the D00701 Kindle Ebook reader is my number one favorite. I really like it and now I have the feeling that I have all my books with me. As a matter of fact I have all books on Amazon with me.

The first generation of Kindle didn’t interest me much. It was odd looking and bulky. I have had a Sony PRS500 for a couple of years now and there really was no reason to trade it in. Until now. Amazon has done to the eReader what Apple did to the laptop. They made it look beautiful as well as incredibly functional.
Being a Mac guy the Sony Reader frustrated me each and every time I plugged it in and nothing happened. I had to reboot in Windows and only then would the reader be recognized. I literally had two operating systems JUST so I could download new books to my reader. With the Kindle2 this is not an issue.
Before I even received my Kindle I bought a Kindle book from Amazon and when my Kindle arrived the book was immediately downloaded within seconds. In fact, I didn’t even see it download. It was just there when I turned the Kindle on for the first time… like magic.
The Kindle2 is very easy to hold and I actually prefer it to paper books because there is no bend in the body. When I read a paper book I have to either read with two hands, or bend one half around the back and hold it with one hand which ruins the binding.
A cool feature is the author photo which comes up each time you turn the Kindle off. A new author each time greets you when you go to turn it back on again. Another great feature is the built in dictionary. You have to look up your misunderstood words in order to get full understanding and with this product it’s easy. Just scroll over the word and the definition is displayed. Awesome!
Very well done Amazon for creating such a brilliant product. It is a joy to look at and use.
