Kindle -- from Amazon

the Kindle is amazing; you can read the daily newspaper or any book or any magazine (instead of looking for a newstand or carrying around a cumbersome book); choose from over 180,000 books to download; you buy the book or zine from amazon online and minutes later it's on your Kindle; the Kindle price is cheaper than the paper copy (and no paper is used to produce the book!); if you lose your Kindle, Amazon has a backup for whatever you bought and downloaded; what a great gift;
