The Philosopher’s Kindle

The Amazon KindleWondering what to get a philosopher or philosophy student as a gift? Or looking for a little gift for yourself? The Amazon Kindle may be a good choice.

Studying philosophy, you need access to a vast amount of literature. But, well, books are heavy. No doubt you’ve heard of Amazon’s e-reader, but in case you haven’t, the Kindle is a lightweight digital reader that allows you to carry about 3500 books in a device lighter than a paperback novel. With a high-contrast screen, long battery life and free built-in Wi-Fi, we finally have an alternative to lugging around the entire works of Plato.
