The Benefits of the Kindle

I have just been introduced to the amazonkindle. Our school library has purchased several kindles. I checked one out over spring break. I have enjoyed learning to use the lightweight reading tool. I think students will be encouraged to read more when they can use such a compact piece of technology. I have only began to learn everything the kindle can be used for. The kindle can be used with the internet to download books. It includes a dictionary to look up words that are unfamiliar. I think using a kindle for textbooks will be something we can look forward to very soon. It is so compact, light as a feather, and easy to carry anywhere you want to go.
I enjoyed this video for an overview of the kindle.
