Kindle

I first learned about Kindle when Whoopi Goldberg talked about it on The View. Kindle is a new technology that has been pioneered by amazon.com. What Kindle is is the new book, and by that I mean the new personal library. It is a hand held device that can travel with you anywhere that you download books onto, and daily newspapers and magazines. If I wanted to read The Audacity of Hope, I could. And it appears on a paper-like screen. If I then wanted to catch up on my latest Stephen King novel I can go right to it. What if I wanted to read the article about the Election in TIME magazine, I can get a subscription to TIME for my Kindle. And the newest article by my friend Jose at the Washington Post? That can be on my Kindle too.
Where does this take our future? My college textbooks could be downloaded on to my Kindle and turn my hundred dollar books into ten dollar books. Elementary, Middle, and High Schools could put their textbooks on Kindle, and children will never forget them in their lockers or at home.
The only downside is the four-hundred dollar price tag, which really isn't bad when you think about it. Beside the fact that the price will go down in the future, you save lots of money on the books them selves. It will eventually pay for itself.
Think, in one hand held device I could have my Sociology book, Entertainment Magazine, my latest Stephen King novel, The Clinton Herald, and the Boy Scout Handbook. Maybe even the Bible. You could get the latest texts of the State of the Union address, or the transcript of the latest debate. This could revolutionize the classroom, and in the long run save school systems a lot of money.
