Mindle is wireless, so whether youre lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is neededyou do your reading directly from the device.We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike phones there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install. We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10. 3 ouncesless than a paperback. but can carry two hundred books.Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!Jeff Bezos Founder CEO25.
