Amazon Kindle and The eBook Revolution
 The Amazon Kindle is an e-book reader, an embedded system for reading electronic books, launched by prominent online bookseller Amazon.com in November 2007.
The Kindle is equipped to hold about 200 books and is capable of storing more than 4,000 eBooks at your fingertips. The Kindle can be used without a computer.
Here’s why selling eBooks and using the incredible Amazon Kindle are a winning combination:
- IMMEDIATE – NO POSTAGE REQUIRED
Your customer gets his/her eBook immediately rather than having to wait in long lines, or even having to wait for the book to arrive in the mail. Your customer doesn’t even have to pay for shipping.
- PAPERLESS – GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
eBooks don’t require any paper, thereby saving trees and protecting the environment; with your computer or Kindle, eBooks provide a “green way” to read. It doesn’t cost any money to print eBooks and you don’t have to pay for postage since eBooks can be sent via email or wirelessly to your Kindle.
- EARN 100% PROFIT ON EVERY SALE
You can make an unlimited number of copies of eBooks which allows you to keep 100% of the profits after the initial sale.
- YOUR ENTIRE BOOKSHELF IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Downloading eBooks onto a Kindle allows you to take your entire library with you any place, at any time! It would be nearly impossible to carry your entire collection of physical books with you everywhere you go— The Kindle is equipped to hold about 200 books and is capable of storing more than 4,000 eBooks at your fingertips.
- NO MORE HEAVY TEXTBOOKS
The Amazon Kindle is also being tested in colleges across the country as a way to replace heavy textbooks.

Last month we hid two pictures - Santa Claus, and a Snowman on two pages deep inside the Members Area. We asked you to scour our site for each of the icons and the first Member to find each of the two would win a Holiday Prize Pack.
We’d like to congratulate Charlie A. of Plattsmouth, NE who found Santa and Calvin M. of Temple Hills, MD who found the Snowman. You each won a Holiday Prize Pack! Santa was hidden on the Membership Kit page, and the Snowman was hidden on the Mindset Coaching page.
