Delusions of a Deranged War Wizard: Gift an Amazon Kindle for this Christmas

We have driven into December and Christmas is just around the corner. Have you done your Christmas shopping yet?

For those book lovers out there, there is finally a decent-enough portable e-book reader on the market. Amazon Kindle is a revolutionary portable reader that wirelessly downloads books, newspapers, magazines and blogs to a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display that looks and reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight. It gives a reading experience no different from that of a real book - and that's what makes it tick. =)

Kindle customers, no matter where they are in the U.S., can wirelessly shop the Kindle Store and download new content - all without a PC or a WiFi hot spot. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so there are no monthly wireless bills and no service commitments for customers. The Kindle Store contains over 90,000 books that can be purchased and delivered wirelessly to Kindle, each in less than a minute. Customers can choose from hundreds of top newspapers, magazines and blogs and have their subscriptions auto-delivered wirelessly. All New York Times Best Sellers and New Releases are $9.99, unless marked otherwise.

At 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than a paperback book, carries two hundred books, and includes built-in access to The New Oxford American Dictionary and wireless access to the Earth's biggest encyclopedia, Wikipedia.org.
