Jim Edwards here with an article (below) I think you’ll really enjoy…

It runs in tomorrow’s paper, but you get the scoop today!

It seems like it’s been a long time since somebody introduced something truly new and unique online (something that you can see will really change the way we do things)…

I believe Amazon has done just that with their "Kindle"…

What’s a "Kindle" – read the article (below) to find out!

To your success,

Amazon’s Kindle Changes All The Rules

Amazon.com, the Web’s largest online bookstore recently
released their own electronic book reader that will truly
revolutionize the way many people absorb information.

The "Amazon Kindle" is a standalone book reader using
electronic paper to store up to 200 books at a time. All of
the material gets downloaded without the need for a PC or
Mac and without an Internet connection.

Though not the first reading device of its type, I believe
the Kindle will shortly dominate the world of electronic
reading devices.

Log on to www.Amazon.com/kindle/ to get all the particulars
about the device, but don’t expect to get one before
Christmas, because they’re all sold out. However, you can
see a couple of online videos demonstrating the device and
explaining how it works.

Amazon also shows a fairly impressive "drop test" video
demonstrating the device’s ruggedness.

The Kindle uses electronic paper, which means the screen
works in bright or low light conditions.

Though I have not been able to put my hands directly on a
Kindle, the electronic paper readers I’ve seen (I own a
Sony PRS-500) look just like real paper so you don’t get
the same eyestrain you do with a laptop screen.

Probably the coolest feature of the Kindle is that you can
download books without hooking up to your home network or
finding a wireless hot spot.

The Kindle connects directly to Amazon using available cell
phone networks (which you don’t have to pay for or sign up
for any monthly obligation).

The fee to download books, surf Amazon and even search on
Wikipedia.org (the Web’s largest free encyclopedia) is
included as part of any book purchases you make.

Amazon obviously put significant thought into this product
and put the needs of the customer into their design,
because they took something complicated and made it drop-
dead simple.

In fact, here are just a few of the killer features they
built into the reader:

~ Amazon backs up all your purchases. If you ever lose or
break your Kindle you can easily recover your books through
Amazon.

~ The rechargeable battery lasts for days so you don’t get
stuck on a long trip with a dead battery.

~ The Kindle holds over 200 books and can expand its
storage capacity with standard SD memory cards.

~ You can buy books, newspapers and magazines as well as
read blogs and, for a small fee, convert your existing Word
documents to a proper format for viewing on the Kindle.

~ Amazon passes the savings on to the user by offering most
Best-Sellers for only $9.99 and many major magazines for
$2.99 or less.

A long time ago I said Amazon would publish books under
their own label some day. The Kindle enables them to bypass
the Internet and create a direct line to their most
enthusiastic user base. "Amazon Publishing Inc." is the
next logical step.

Also, this reader brings the impulse buy to the online
store. Just like a real bookstore, you browse titles, buy,
and get instant access to the content.

Also, the Kindle can reach new segments of the market
because it removes another layer of technology from the
equation. Since it does not require syncing with a computer
to get new content and everything gets downloaded straight
to the device over a cell network, my techno-challenged mom
can do it without the help of her favorite geek (me)!

Jim Edwards here with a request for help.

As I mentioned a couple of blog posts ago, my son-in-law was severely wounded in Iraq a few weeks ago. Thankfully he will recover and will keep his leg… THANKS to everyone who sent their prayers and positive thoughts Jon’s way.

Jon will be home with us for Christmas, which is a real blessing. Unfortunately, 2 of his friends went to Heaven and another 2 were severely burned and are recovering in Texas.

Terri and I and all of our family want to support the 110+ members of John’s company who are still in Iraq and let them know they are not forgotten and people back here love them and value them very much!

Here’s where you come in…

I need some creative ideas for something or some things we can send to 110+ people for Christmas without breaking the bank.

We thought about sending cookies and hard candy, but we’re just not sure… and to make matters worse, I have pneumonia at the moment (no foolin’) so my energy level is way down and ability to think creatively is a bit impaired.

So, I was hoping maybe you had a creative idea – or a cool idea – or a good suggestion about what we could box up and send (or have dropshipped).

So if you have a suggestion on what we could send, please post your idea as a comment below and I’ll let you guys know what we ended up doing

Thanks!

Jim and Family
