In an industry that has always remained much the same throughout history, the change in books is a shocking one. It isn’t that they are any less popular, or made in any different ways. What has changed is how they are read, and the introduction of the newest generation of Amazon’s Kindle is proof of that.

An ultra-slim, lightweight electronic, this 3G reader allows you to download ebooks from anywhere on the Internet in less than 60 second. It offers crisp, east to read text in shades of black and gray, and is now more similar to real books than ever before.

Imagine being able to read a million books with one piece of equipment, with no monthly plans, fees, or having to search for compatible ebooks and files. The Kindle is the premier reader, and it is becoming more popular as the newest stage of evolution for the book world.

It is a concept that is beginning to take off more than ever, with so many ebooks available now through libraries and free websites. But it is likely the Kindle, and newer products based off of it’s design, that will continue to dominate an industry that is sure to grow fast.
