PORTABLE
READER
Kindle from Amazon
When it comes to travel, the Kindle
from Amazon is a revelation. Less than the size
and thickness of one paperback novel, this portable
reader will let you download books in less than a minute
and wirelessly receive newspapers, magazines, and blogs
as well. The high-resolution display looks (and reads)
like actual paper with no eye-straining backlight. Scrolling
through pages is user-friendly, as are search and bookmark
functions. You can even annotate pages with your own
notes. No hunting for WiFi hotspots or connections is
necessary to get new reading material. The memory is
large enough to hold more than 200 books at a time,
and if you’re reading more than that on vacation,
you need to get out of the hotel. $359. www.amazon.com/kindle
