I finally broke down and ordered an Amazon Kindle, now that they're back in stock. It's an ebook reader device, and since I read so much (borderline obsession), and there are growning piles of dead tree versions of books all over my house, I figured a Kindle was a good idea.
In this video, we go over the packaging, basic functions of the device, discuss its wireless features, have a look at the fabulous (dare I say revolutionary?) electronic ink screen, and generally check out the new gadget.
Camera help and cameo appearances by my wife Rachel and our son Gabe.
I'll be posting more thoughts as I use the Kindle more (I've had it less than 24 hours), but the verdict so far is: I LOVE this thing! I only wish I hadn't had to wait so long for Amazon to get them back in stock.
You can find out more about the Kindle, browse the books, newspapers, and magazines available for it, and generally get more information at Amazon's Kindle page (affiliate link - if you decide to buy one, and use that link, I get a small percentage, which helps to pay for my gadget buying habit).
Post a comment or message me on Twitter if you have any questions, and stay tuned for a lot more Kindle information in the days and weeks to come! :-)
