Why is the Kindle an excellent choice for students, teachers, and schools?
• Low Prices on Content: The Kindle Store includes over 550,000 books that are $9.99 or less and thousands of free books such as Pride and Prejudice and Gulliver’s Travels. Or download millions of free, out-of-copyright classics from sites such as archive.org and load them directly onto your Kindle.
• Digital Notes and Highlights: Easily create digital notes, highlights, clippings, and bookmarks. Because they are digital, you can view and edit them on any Kindle device or online at kindle.amazon.com.
• References at Your Fingertips: Look up any word instantly with the built-in dictionary or jump directly to Google and Wikipedia for more info.
• Buy Once, Read Everywhere: Kindle wirelessly synchronizes all your content across PCs, Macs, mobile phones, and Kindle devices. Read on any device you choose and Kindle will always know where you left off.
• Environmentally Friendly: Every page you read on a Kindle is a page that does not have to be printed and later thrown away or recycled.
K-12
• Motivate Young Readers: Kindle is an innovative, all-digital platform that gets students excited about reading. Challenge kids and young adults to read more on a Kindle.
• No More Overloaded Backpacks: Carry thousands of books on a single lightweight device.
• Built for Reading: Kindle is ergonomically designed for reading. It is thin, lightweight, far more portable than laptops and tablets, and does not take time to boot up. The battery lasts up to several weeks with wireless turned off.
• Text-to-Speech: Kindle can read books and menus out loud, which helps with reading skills and comprehension. You can switch back and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically saved.
Higher Education
• Free Reading Apps: Turn any PC or Mac into a Kindle by downloading a free reading app. You can then read, bookmark, and make notes just like you would on any Kindle device. Additional apps are available for your mobile phone.
• Get Digital Textbooks, Instantly: Thousands of popular titles are available. Use the search box at the top of the page to quickly find the books you need.
• Carry All Your Documents on the Go: Load all your course materials on the Kindle device, including Microsoft Word, PDF, HTML, and even MP3 files.
• Social Network Ready: Share quotations with built-in Facebook and Twitter integration. Turn on "Popular Highlights" to see what other Kindle customers have highlighted and shared.
