Start Amazon Kindle on your blog.

Amazon.com is one of the most popular web sites in the World Wide Web. It started in 1994 and since then, it has come up a long way. One of the most important landmarks in the fabulous journey of Amazon has been that of Amazon Kindle, which is a software-cum-hardware platform. It was developed by Lab126, which is a subsidiary of Amazon.com for reading e-books along with other digital media. The first equipment got released in the year 2007 in the United States. This platform is supported by three main hardware devices, i.e. Kindle, Kindle 2 and Kindle DX. Apart from that, it is also supported by Kindle for iPhone, which is an iphone application released in March 2009.

The Amazon Kindle has come up as one of the most impressive devices of the current times. It popularity can be judged from the fact, that, the first Kindle device, when released in November 2007 got sold out within five and a half hours flat. In subsequent months, the equipment remained out of stock and was available only after five months, i.e. late April 2008.

This amazon kindle equipment featured a 6 inch 4-level display and was offered at a retail price of $399. However, the price got lowered to $359 and today; you may get one for as low as $299. This ebook reading device had an internal memory of 250 MB which was enough for holding up 200 non-illustrated titles. This memory could however be expanded with the help of an SD memory card.

The first amazon kindle device was followed by the amazon kindle 2, which was launched in February this year. This equipment was available for sale at a retail price of $359, which was lowered to $299 in July 2009. This new portable ebook reader featured a 6-level grayscale display, apart from faster page refreshing as well as improved battery life. The Kindle 2 comes with 2 GB of internal memory and can hold around 1500 non-illustrated titles. It however, does not feature an SD memory card slot, unlike the earlier model.

The stride of the kindle did not stop with the kindle 2 and May 2009, was marked by an announcement of the arrival of amazon kindle dx, which was stated at a retail price of $489 and was released in June. A sleeker design with 4 GB internal memory, to hold 3500 non-illustrated titles, 9.7 inch display, built-in stereo speakers, as well as 1xRTT wireless technology are some major feature, which make it the best ebook reader on this day.

As it is, the kindle would be available with a lot many new models in future, each one carrying forward the legacy of perfection, with which amazon is often associated with.
