I am sure you have seen a lot about the Kindle 2 lately. I am sure you have not seen it all though. Here are some little known extras.




The Kindle 2 is the well known new wireless reading device available from Amazon. Most people know that you can quickly buy and download books on to it with no need for a computer. People do not however know about everything else it can do.

Did you know that you are not just limited to the over 245,000 books? You can also subscribe to magazines, newspapers, and even blogs. The Kindle 2 holds 1,500 books but if you run out of room all of the books you have bought are still on file with Amazon so you can download them again for free any time. Yeah, I am sure some of you had heard about that.

Did you know that you can connect the Kindle 2 to your computer and put your MP3s on it? This allows you to enjoy your music while you read. If you do not want to listen to music you could use the Read-to-Me feature and the Kindle 2 will read it for you.

So why does the Kindle 2 have a keyboard? You are able to make notes on the pages and save them just like you could in a paper version. You can also highlight key parts to go back to later.

Ever get stuck on a word or a subject in a book? The Kindle 2 has a dictionary just waiting for you. It also allows you to search online and in Wikipedia. Now you can continue to relax with your book with no need to go to a computer.

The Kindle 2 also includes a few more interesting extras. You are able to get a chapter or two free if you are undecided about a book. You can connect it to an iPhone and do some of your reading from your phone. It also has a basic web browser. Remember, it comes with free wireless.

The Kindle 2 has one more little known extra. Business people may find this very interesting. For a fee of 10 cents a document you can receive Microsoft Word, PDF, HTML, TXT, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files. You just need to set up the Kindle's email address.

To add documents to the Kindle 2 for free you need to use a computer. You send files to a free Kindle email address. There the files will be converted for the Kindle and you can save them to your computer. Then the files can be added to your Kindle 2.

All in all it is much more than a wireless reading device. I am really excited to see what devices will come out next.
