The Amazon Kindle 1 eBook Reader is a device that allows the user to read documents from a portable flat screen. The device is small enough that it can easily be stowed in any purse or backpack for easy transport, though a carrying case is sold directly from the manufacturer as an accessory if the user would prefer.

The Amazon Kindle 2 eBook Reader is the best way to read, scan, store or view your electronic books, mp3 files (music or podcasts, for example) images, e-mail or other documents. Pretty sweet for downloading series, either numerical or a series of books from a single author.

The Amazon Kindle DX eBook Reader is Amazon's current high end ebook reader that comes with all of the features and functionality to make your reading experience complete. Additionally, this Kindle comes with a rotating display function as well as a native PDF reader, both of which are missing on the Kindle 2.0.
