Blog about Leadership

The topic for this blog article is a little different than most, but if you read even a moderate amount then you should check out the Amazon Kindle 2. Don’t know what the Amazon Kindle 2 is? It’s an electronic reading device that revolutionizes how you will read books, blogs, Wikipedia.org, and even computer files.

Most leaders have a lot to read. They stay up on magazines, newspapers and are always in the middle of a book. The Amazon Kindle 2 can provide you a portable, easy to carry with you, device for your reading material.

It’s like a mini computer, but unlike a PDA the screen is large enough to read a page without squinting. It uses a new screen technology, e-paper, that makes it like reading from a book. It’s not backlit, so it’s easier on your eyes and there is no glare.

The device has enough storage space to store up to 1,500 books on the small, portable device. So unlike those days back in college, you can carry all your books without your shoulders getting sore from your backpack. The Kindle 2 is as thin as a magazine and lighter than a paperback.

The new Amazon Kindle, to be release on February 24th, 2009, is the second generation of the popular, high selling device. The first generation of the Kindle was a huge success and sold completely out of stock twice! The second generation builds on this success with improved features. It looks better, sleeker. The pages turn 20% faster. The display is easier to read than the first generation and the battery life is 25% longer. The new Kindle is an improved version of the highly successful original product.

There are over 230,000 books available for the Kindle to include 103 of the 110 New York Times bestsellers and all NYT bestsellers are only $9.99 – cheaper than hard copy books and other ebook readers.

Check out the Amazon Kindle 2 and see why it belongs in your leadership toolset!
