“At Amazon, we’ve always been obsessed with having every book ever printed, and we know that even the best reading device would be useless without a massive selection of books. Today, the Kindle Store has more than 350,000 books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs available. This is just the beginning. Our vision is to have every book ever printed, in any language, all available in under 60 seconds on Kindle. We won’t stop until we get there.”
Whether you prefer biographies, classics, investment guides, thrillers, or sci-fi, thousands of your favorite books are available, including 104 of 112 books currently found on the New York Times® Best Seller list. New York Times Best Sellers and most new releases are $9.99, and you’ll find many books for less.
“I am very impressed and pleased with my Kindle II. I find it very user friendly, easy to read and very fast to load with new material. I will be using it most for travel and am looking forward to having my suitcases lighter with fewer books included and/or having to make do with airport book shops. Best birthday gift I have received in a long time. “
“I’ve owned my Kindle 2 for about a month. It is everything other reviewers have raved about. Kindle perfectly combines my passion for reading with my love of gadgetry. And since you can order and receive books in a flash, it provides instant gratification as well. If there’s any limitation, it’s simply that not every book is available yet in electronic format. That said, the Kindle library is extensive and new titles are continually added. I have been able to get every title I’ve wanted so far. As many have commented, it’s amazing to be able to tote an entire library in a device so small–an awesome feature for those of us who enjoy reading more than one book at a time. It is true what the promotional materials say: when I am reading, the device itself seems to disappear. More than once, I’ve caught myself reaching out to turn the page. That’s how much the experience replicates looking at a printed page. The Kindle has so many great features, including impressive battery life, that I would enthusiastically recommend it to any avid reader. I am in love with mine.”
“I am so thrilled with my new Kindle. I kept holding out because I frequent the library so much and didn’t think I could top it by having to purchase books. I’ve found the prices to be reasonable as well as many deals where there are free promotions. My favorite features are the ability to look up a word in a matter of seconds as well as make notes or highlights. My next favorite feature is to change the font size since I’m holding out as long as I can before I need to use reading glasses. I recommend it.”
“My reading has really slacked off lately and I think this kindle is going to completely change that. Here are the things I love about it so far:
* I usually have several books going at one time with them all scatterred about the house in different places. The kindle allows me to have all my books in one place. No more searching for the book or even remembering exactly which books I have started. They are all right there on my kindle home page.
* Being able to adjust the font size is GREAT. I noticed last night when I was reading in bed I had to jump it up one size because my eyes were tired and the lighting was dimmer.
* It is so comfortable to hold. You don’t have to worry about the book closing on you. And hitting the next page button is so easy. It’s right where it needs to be.
* No more little sticky notes marking my place in a book. When you stop reading, kindle remembers where you were automatically. So no problem if you fall asleep with it in your hand.
* Beaing able to read Chapter 1 for free is awesome. However, this will probably cost me a lot of money. I’ve already purchased 3 books in less than 24 hours.
* The fact that your samples and purchases are just automatically wirelessly downloaded to your kindle is so nice. No hassling with USB ports or synching up the device. It’s just there right after your purchase.
* I like the little Location indicator at the bottom which tells you what percentage complete you are. It’s kinda motivating seeing that you’re at 80% complete.
* It’s way easier to read than a computer screen.
* It fits right in my purse. “

“My husband & I both purchased Kindle 2’s before our recent trip to Italy. We LOVE these! We did not own previous Kindles so I can not speak on transferring books from the older unit to this one. But as a new owner, we are thrilled. From the second it arrived it was easy to use – set up was simple. I did have one question regarding the use of two units from one account so we could share books with each other and talked to a very nice gentelman who answered that question and gave further advice too. The Kindle has been easy to use. It was great to travel with. We both got the Kindle covers, which I think is essential. I read a lot so instead of hauling a ton of books with me I was able to carry one lightweight device and read as much as I wanted. The screen is easy on the eyes – you can adjust the font size easily. I did read the user guide that is loaded into the Kindle and learned a lot of great “tricks”. I would highly recommend.”

In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers.
Since our beginning, TOMS has given over 150,000* pairs of shoes to children in need through the One for One model. Because of your support, TOMS plans to give over 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world in 2009.
Our ongoing community events and Shoe Drop Tours allow TOMS supporters and enthusiasts to be part of our One for One movement. Join us.
Why shoes?
Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or just getting around, these children are at risk.
Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren’t possible barefoot.
Wearing shoes prevents feet from getting cuts and sores on unsafe roads and from contaminated soil. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected. The leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted parasites which penetrate the skin through open sores. Wearing shoes can prevent this and the risk of amputation.
Many times children can’t attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don’t have shoes, they don’t go to school. If they don’t receive an education, they don’t have the opportunity to realize their potential.
There is one simple solution…SHOES.
Of the planet’s six billion people, four billion live in conditions inconceivable to many. Lets take a step towards a better tomorrow.

From the maker of this beautiful, eye-catching watch:
White ceramic watches are the hottest designer item going today. But when I saw that genuine Swiss Movement ceramics were topping $5,000.00, I decided that drastic measures had to be taken. I knew we could do better. So I called our designers in Switzerland and offered up a challenge. I told them to take a good long look at designer ceramic watches on the market. I told them I wanted the kind of timepiece that goes for a short walk down the runway on a supermodel’s wrist and then gets quickly escorted by armed guards safely back to the vault. And then I told them to deliver a Stauer timepiece that packed the same kind of “wow”… at a price with much less “ow.”
Like its exponentially more expensive cousins, our Stauer Ladies Swiss Movement Ceramic Watch is lightweight, durable and incredibly scratch-resistant. The luxurious face features easy-to-read blue and white hands, with a date window between the 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock positions. The bezel’s polished stainless steel ring catches brilliant flashes of light and a sapphire crown adds the final elegant accent. Crafted with a legendary genuine Swiss Movement and water resistant to 3 ATMs, it’s as functional as it is fashionable. Needless to say, I sent the designers a case of Veuve Cliquot champagne with a note reading, “Mission Accomplished.”
The steady flow of shimmering water on this acrylic waterfall is a sight to behold. You experience a calm feeling from just entering the room. The Aqua Falls floor fountain is a stunning addition to any room. The horizontal ridges incorporated into the fountain face enable the simulation of waves in the water as it flows downwards. Includes programmable lightshow LED MoodEFX accent lighting with colored light shows. Available in standard black or with a chrome, copper or gold finish. The colored finishes are a thin sheet of metallic material which is applied to the front face of the waterfall under where the water flows. The metallic coating is rolled over the ridged face, so the interior of the ridges will remain black producing a horizontal striped design.
