Amazon Kindle is an electronic book (e-book) device launched in the United States by Amazon.com in November 2007.
It uses an electronic paper display, reads the proprietary Kindle (AZW) format, and downloads content over Amazon Whispernet, which uses the Sprint EVDO network.
This means that the Kindle can be used without the need for a computer.
Whispernet is accessible through Kindle without any fee.
On the release day, the Kindle Store had more than 88,000 digital titles available for download.
Amazon's first offering of the Kindle sold out in five and a half hours. It retails for $399 from Amazon.com.
