The device is light weighting in at 10.2 ounces, lighter than your average paperback.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c354d1e329b235f1862b41000f5a4d18\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* Guitar_inpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"3631424768\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<!--CusAds-->\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=guitartips08-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B0015T963C\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ext-link\">Kindle<\/a> looks quite paper like in it&#8217;s display without the glare that you sometimes get in some devices, even in bright sunlight. I wonder if you can adjust the brightness of the screen itself. Our notebook screen is not all that bright in the sunlight which pisses me off when I&#8217;m in the backyard trying to do some work. They claim the battery life on the Kindle is very long, up to 1 week on a single charge. It carries up to 1,500 books. You can find a fair amount of free books at Amazon and other book stores online. We&#8217;ve already downloaded some onto our notebook to be uploaded to our new Kindle when it arrives.<\/p>\n<p>Read-to-Me is a neat feature my wife told me about. With it&#8217;s experimental Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle can read newspapers, magazines, blogs, and books out loud to you, unless the book&#8217;s rights holder\/owner made this feature unavailable. Perfect for after more then a few light refreshing liquid beverages, ha!<\/p>\n<p>She bought a electrical wall mount charger, car charger, ear phones and last, but not least the Amazon leather cover. I&#8217;m forever scratching electronic screens, I should take a pic of my phone so you can see what I mean, so this will come in very handy.<\/p>\n<p>The only bad thing about buying it here in Canada is the custom and duty taxes $33 (CAN) that comes with it, but hey, no use complaining too much. We should be getting out little hands on it this Wednesday, so sometime after that expect <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guitarlicksandtips.com\/2010\/05\/11\/our-new-kindle-2-ebook-reader-has-just-arrived\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\">another post about our new addition<\/a> to our home!<\/p>\n<p>Do you have a Kindle?
