eBook is Back
If you’ve been frustrated that you couldn’t get any Amazon Kindle eBook readers for your library or reading classrooms, they’re back in stock. Following an apology by Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos that they couldn’t make the devices fast enough, the online shopping site now has Kindles back in stock and ready for delivery at $400. In addition to basic Web browsing, the 10-ounce eBook reader doesn’t require a computer to load any of the 110,000 books and periodicals it can display.
Specs: 10 ounces, 6-inch screen, 7.5- x 5.3- x 0.7-inches
Bottom line: Libraries and classrooms can replace paper books with Kindle eBook readers that double as Web browsers.
