Happy Reading

So there’s a new Kindle in the family and it’s the big daddy, Kindle DX. 

As you can see above the screen is much larger so that means less page turning. The DX screen is 9.7″ diagonal E Ink and can also be view in landscape mode.   It holds 3,500 books and also holds pdf’s.  The battery life is 4 days with wireless on and two weeks with wireless off. 

While I know the cost of this new gadget,  at almost $500.00 is expensive and not for everyone.  It can save you money if you purchase a lot of reading material.  It will also save you a lot of shelf space.  Kindle versions of books and newspaper do cost less than their paper copies, not to mention all the trees you’ll be saving.

I think that all college text books should be offered in Kindle format.  A college student could be ahead the very first semester cost-wise and just think how light their backpacks would be.

Visit the Kindle Family on Amazon to read all the details and see if this will be your new reader of choice.

 Did you hear the NEWS? 

There’s a NEW Kindle in town

it’s The Kindle 2

the next generation of wireless reading devices.

Kindle was released about a year ago and it has far surpassed Amazons highest hopes.  I’m sure Oprah’s feature of the Kindle had something to do with it.

The new Kindle 2 has kept everything owners loved about their original Kindle but they improved on the battery life.  It can now be used for two weeks on a single charge.  It has a new streamline design that makes it as thin as a typical magazine and it’s lighter than a paperback. It has more storage and can hold 1,500 titles. They have a more advanced display for clearer text. A totally new text to speech feature mean Kindle 2 can read all your downloaded books, blogs, newspapers and magazines out loud to you.  Wow think about that.  The perfect accessory for the vision impaired and a great way for all of us to multitask.

Amazon now offers more than 230,000 books including 103 of the 110 New York Times Best Sellers. Top newspapers, magazines and blogs are also available.

To make this all tie into money saving and income earning. Purchasing all your reading material in Kindle format can save you a lot of money in the long run.  Not to mention the time saving because you can have your book or newspaper delivered in 60 seconds from almost anywhere right to your new Kindle 2. More time saving when you use the text to speech option and multi task during the day.

Oh, and how about the income earning potential ? Just think of all the new sales opportunities you will have when you offer your books and ebooks in Kindle format. It’s a whole new market out there for you.

I’ve been hearing a lot about Amazon.com lately. Maybe it’s because I’ve been paying more attention since eBay has been making so many changes and my sales there are down.

Last night I happened to watch Mad Money and Cramer opened with a little history of Amazon.com and said it was a good time to BUY BUY BUY the stock.  He mentioned the changes at eBay and that Amazon’s Christmas sales last year were higher than eBay’s.

He also brought up the Kindle, Amazon’s electronic reading device. Downloads for Kindle format books are rising steadily. It’s a great new device that can download your book purchase anywhere using cell phone technology. Talk about instant gratification. Cramer thinks it will have sales like the ipod and iphone.

I’m in the learning and set up stages of selling books on Amazon.  It’s one of my Fall goals once the kids are back in school. I recently read Selling On The River  By Steve Lindhorst and learned a lot there about how to start selling on Amazon.

With today’s economy and the ever changing rules on eBay, starting new streams of income is a good move. It looks like Amazon is a great place to sell and not just for books and movies, you can find just about everything there, new and used.  That’s why I say Sell, Sell, Sell your stuff on Amazon.

Look Out eBay I think Amazon’s current is stronger.

I’ll keep you posted on my Amazon adventures this Fall.
