The Review is beginning to offer some best-selling titles in Amazon Kindle format. The following books are available now:

The Apocalyptic Vision and the Neutering of Adventism
Dahveed, Yahweh’s Chosen
How to Kill Adventist Education
Radical Prayer
A Thousand Shall Fall

Hopefully more to come.

Thanks very much for this info. I'm pleased that R&H is making these offers!!!

You're welcome! If we sell enough to justify the time it takes to format these ebooks we will be offering many more titles in Kindle format.

It would be interesting to find out how many folks are into ebooks.

I have purchased a few, but sadly I find that I don't read them as avidly as I do a book in my hand.

Gail, that's what I'm afraid of. Buying a Kindle and then having it sit on the shelf. I have an older portable DVD player that I got as a gift just after they first came out. I used it on an overseas trip and it now sits in its case. Maybe I'm just not into higher tech toys enough to justify the purchase.

I may not use my Kindle 2 everyday, but it's at least 3-5 times a week. I understand the portable DVD thing. Mine sits all of the time, too. I think there's a difference: The DVD player needs more time to watch a program or movie. With the Kindle, you can stop reading anytime and the K2 keeps your places in whatever you are reading, even if several books or mags are being read.

I have the subscription to Reader's Digest and each issue is downloaded in the background when released. I just catch an article or a portion as I have the time. No advertisements to navigate through, either.

I also have 'Steps to Christ' on mine and reading a chapter is very convenient.

Maybe not love, but I really like the Kindle 2. As an e-book reader it’s a winner. As a web appliance, not as good, but good enough in a pinch, and who in their right mind would buy it as a web appliance anyway? It’s all about the footprint.

The Kindle 2 is vastly superior to the Kindle 1, with the sorts of features that makes e-book reading—considering both the experience and the device—appealing rather than odd or marginal, as it has been for a long time now. At 8" x 5.3" x .36", it is slimmer than the iPhone. At 10.2 oz. it is svelte but solid feeling. It’s new brushed aluminum back with embedded stereo speakers move it beyond the plastic look and feel of the Kindle 1. Maybe the best thing about it is the built-in EVDO modem using Sprint’s 3G high-speed wireless network, WITH NO FEES OR SERVICE CHARGES. It is truly impressive. The communications it enables between the Kindle and its mother ship (the Amazon.com web site) are known in Amazonian as “Whispernet.”

The six-inch diagonal screen (600x800 pixels at 167ppi with 16-shades of grey—up from 4 shades in the Kindle 1) is perfectly clear. Font size is selectable in the range 7-20 point fonts (10-12 is normal for a book), with adjustable gutters. Since “page” size can vary with font and gutter size, there are no such things as pages, only locations. A location number within any work on any Kindle takes you to the same point in the text. It is a much more accurate reference system than the legacy page numbering system which has been standard since Giovanni da Spira in 1470. The display is as clear as ink on paper and is not backlit, so there is no more eyestrain than there is in reading a paper edition, and probably less wrist strain, since the Kindle is lighter than most books. You will notice the screen flashes in inverse video when you press the Next or Previous Page buttons. This is the E-Ink rearranging itself on the screen. As long as you are not turning pages, the device uses no power at all, which is a distinct advantage over a laptop computer. You will also note a change in your adaptive reading habits within the first hour of using the Kindle. You quickly learn that you can read the last two or so lines on the page DURING the inverse page-turn operation, and therefore read in a completely uninterrupted manner, believe it or not. As far as text to brain goes, it is actually a little faster than reading a book and significantly faster than reading a scrolling computer screen.

Battery life is great. The sealed (meaning you can’t change it yourself but have to pay Amazon $60 to replace it—Amazon has obviously learned from Apple here) battery when fully charged (which takes about 4 hours the first time you charge it) will last a week with “Whispernet” turned off and about 2 days with it left on. I leave mine on because I am constantly moving content onto the device wirelessly, but if you do not do this frequently it is easy to turn Whispernet off with on-screen

kindle is the best e-book reader and wonderful investment for avid readers (holds up to 3500 books), The device is small and light. With kindle we can read many book only with one device. regularry, kindle have three choise, ie kindle wifi, kindle wifi + 3g and kindle DX.
