The all-new Kindle with Wi-Fi
How popular is this device? Well Amazon released the first Kindle device in November 2007, and it sold out in an amazing five and a half hours and remained out of stock for five months until late April 2008.
The UK Kindle Store features a vast selection of titles - including New Releases and Bestsellers - from UK authors including Terry Pratchett, Ian Rankin, Martina Cole, Sophie Kinsella and Ken Follett.
The selection includes exclusives to the Kindle Store such as contemporary classics from the Wylie Agency's new Odyssey Editions imprint including Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children , John Cheever's The Stories of John Cheever , Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita , Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead , and Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man .
Over 170 top UK and international newspapers and magazines, that unlike LincsMag you have to pay to read, are also available in the UK Kindle store for single purchase or subscription. UK titles in this selection include The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Economist, The Independent, The Financial Times and The Evening Standard.
Kindle customers can also subscribe to over 9,000 blogs. All subscriptions are auto-delivered wirelessly to Kindle and start with a free 14-day trial.
Kindle is Amazon.com's number One bestselling item for two years running. It's the most-wished-for, most-gifted, and has the most 5-star reviews of any product on Amazon.com. And now it's even better.
