Buy and Read Real Estate Books in Seconds
December 13, 2007 – 4:27 pmI just purchased the Kindle from Amazon.com and I am extremely impressed. The look and feel is exactly like holding and reading a small paperback book. I have over 50 different real estate books and decided to buy the Kindle to hold all of them, plus 150 more.
They use wireless connectivity to allow you to search for a book and buy it immediately. Oh, and the wireless access is free. The entire book is downloaded to your Kindle in about 15 seconds. You can book mark, highlight, look up definitions, write notes and tons of other cool features.
Some features I wish it had:
1) A touch screen that can allow me to physically highlight and write notes.
2) The ability to highlight and immediately send to my email.
3) The browser and OS does not allow me to download Google Mail or any other download. This is a must.
4) A light to read when it is dark.
5) Free blog subscriptions
6) An easier way to delete 14 day free trial subscriptions that I test
