What's "Kindle?"

Seriously? Really? A Kindle is an electronic reader for electronic books. Handed down from the god Amazon, it's sort of a techy version of the stones the commandments were written on.

It offers the most pleasant online shopping experience in the world, and its rating and recommendation systems are remarkably good at predicting what you might like.
