Do you love to read? Have you bought book after book only to have them pile up, filling book shelves to the max and leaving you little room for more new books? The best new invention to help further the sale of audiobooks everywhere is amazon kindle.

This new device (released in November of 2007) can download text in a variety of formats from Amazon and other places. The ebooks or documents can be read on the screen of the kindle, or they can be listened to on the device. If you would love the ability to read along with an audible book, you will find out that this feature is not possible right now. However, since there is the feature that allows MP3's to be played while reading, you should consider to download Audiobooks in MP3 Format.

Amazon has created their own file format for the device (AZW). However, it can also read .txt files and some .pdf files (although .pdf files are not fully supported at this time). On 'opening day' Kindle had 88,000 titles available through Amazon.. One can read fiction or non-fiction books as well as everything from best sellers to more obscure titles.

The amazon kindle retails for approximately $399. However, many people believe that the price will fall as demand grows and the technology becomes just a bit older. Still, the Kindle is on the cutting edge of technology for those who regularly buy and listen to e-books and audiobooks.

Amazon does not offer the Kindle outside of the United States. Their normal download system called 'Whispernet' also does not work outside of the States. However, if a buyer travels outside of the United States with their Kindle, they can buy and download their audiobooks via the Internet..

The Kindle is a breakthrough device, in many ways analogous to the first iPod. Just as the iPod brought MP3 players to the masses, the Kindle will be the device that introduces ebooks and audiobooks to many people.
