Kindle+Gabrielle

=Kindle Gabrielle =   The Amazon Kindle is a machine that allows you to buy books, newspapers, magazines, etc. without having to go to the bookstore. With its 4G wireless connection, you can log on to your Amazon account and buy the books that you want. Then, you can immediately read the books on your Kindle. I use it basically every day and spend a lot of time on it because most of the books I read are downloaded on it.  This device came out recently, so neither my parents nor my grandparents were able to use it. Instead, they had to take time out of their day to go to the bookstore and buy the book. Many of my friends and family members have this machine, and I see movie stars on commercials and in magazines reading books off of it, so people I admire have it as well.  The Amazon Kindle encourages me to read. The need for it is created, since people could just go to the bookstore and buy the books. However, it is still useful to have. It is sold through the media, such as commercials and advertisements in newspapers and magazines, and it is also sold through my friends. After many of my classmates got it and said how useful it was, I wanted to buy one as well.  The device affects our education in a positive way. If you needed an article or book for school or a project, you could download what you needed quicker and have easy access to it without the wait or travel of going to the bookstore. You also would not have to wait days for the book to be shipped or have to pay extra to have it shipped overnight. It also impacts future technologies. Other rival companies are always trying to make new and improved version of the Kindle. For example, after Amazon came out with the Kindle, Barnes and Nobles came out with the Nook and Nook Color, which is basically like a Kindle only it has a touch screen.  The Kindle liberates us. It allows us to access the bookstore whenever we want, without the drive and time taken to go to the store and find the right book. It also is easier to carry around, since it is slimmer and smaller than a book. However, it could and should be improved. The machine gets confused with some words, and these words are either always misspelled or there is a space between the letters of the words. In addition, I think it would be helpful if there were page numbers while you were reading a book. Another addition to the Kindle would be if it had a touch screen. However, it overall is a great device to use, and it saves a lot of time. This technological advancement has positively impacted my daily life.
