The Kindle, as well as many other e-book services deliver a message that helps to promote reading. People are spending more time in front of screens and less time in front of printed books. It also does good for the environment. With the elimination of paper, the Kindle helps save trees. It eliminates the need for filling up landfills with old books. This also means it's less expensive. Because they are cheaper to produce, it means that they are cheaper to buy as well. The Kindle is also easily searchable. You can quickly find anything inside the book. Speed can also be seen as another message. The Kindle defies time -- they can be delivered almost instantly. Downloads are transferred to you faster than overnight shipping: in minutes or even seconds!
The Amazon Kindle is just one of the many modern innovations that is changing our technological culture and society today.
