Amazon turn up for book lovers

Amazon has launched its best-selling Kindle reader device on the Irish market offering an English language book catalogue of 250,000 titles. Kindle is linked through a 3G wireless data connection to Amazon’s online store of books, magazines and newspapers.
Kindle has a six-inch screen, uses electronic ink to make it as authentic as possible and weighs about the same as a paperback book. Up to 1,500 titles can be stored on the device, with extra titles stored in an archive.
Kindle costs $279 from Amazon’s US store, plus delivery charges and import taxes.
