Amazon Kindle originally came out in 2007 and changed the way people read digital books. Instead of a backpack or purse with one or two books, your Kindle can hold hundreds. One of the advantages of the Kindle is its e-paper display, which is easy on the eyes and is pure pleasure to read. This technology is called E INK and is used not only in Kindle, but also in Kobo and Nook branded e-readers.
As technology has improved over the years, Kindle has become the most popular e-reader on the planet. The digital ecosystem has gone beyond books to include comics, graphic novels, magazines and newspapers.
