10 reasons to switch to Kindle e-reader

I have been a fan of e-books ever since I bought my first Kindle in the US in 2009. Kindle was not yet locally available in India. I happened to be in the US on a week long trip and ordered it to my hotel address.

Kindle e-readers are some of the best e-readers out there. Here are 10 reasons why your should seriously consider them.

1. Very Cost Effective – Kindle readers are a good Return on Investment within 2-6 months depending on how often you splurge on real books.
2. Highly Portable – E-readers are portable, but Kindle takes this portability to the next level by offering your archival space on their cloud.
3. Largest Collection of e-books – There is no collection on the planet like the Amazon Bookstore. True to its word, Amazon has been working hard to offer almost all books available as the print version in e-format too.
4. A slew of Cool Kindle e-reader features – Kindle e-readers come with a cool set of features like
   1. Word Wise that shows out meanings of words without you having to search explicitly for it.
   2. Word Runner that allows you to improve your reading speed
   3. Make and Share annotations
   4. Night Feature to help you adjust screen background to better contrasts.
   5. X-Ray feature that lets you zoom ahead or back from the current page of a book to help recall the premise of the book before you start off.
5. Plans for the voracious reader – Kindle has the Kindle Unlimited plan for the voracious reader who is also mindful of how expensive book owning can prove to be.
6. Battery Life – No second thoughts here, Amazon Kindle has the longest battery life that lasts for weeks on a single charge
7. Extremely Handy – The 6″ touchscreen display based reader weighs between 150 and 200 gms (approx) making it easy to lug around.
8. Whispersync Technology – This special technology allows Amazon to send you books via WiFi within seconds of purchasing it. It also allows you to mail an article on the net to a special Amazon e-mail address linked to your device. Doing so will download an e-copy of the article onto your Kindle device for reading later.
9. No Competition anywhere near – Amazon Kindle has no competitor even near to it with its combination of e-reader and e-books.
10. Sync across devices – Sync your e-reader, mobile and maybe even your tablet – This allows you to pick up any device and resume exactly at the same page and paragraph you stopped at on the other device.
