This wireless device can be used to download ebooks without the need to use a computer.This device is distributed by Amazon and can be thought of as a pioneering e-book market doing what Apple did for the digital music market with the Ipod.

EBook Reader Kindle

By Edgar Dapremont

The news arrived yesterday that by 2010 the internet is going to slow down in speed because of the sheer volume of use was very interesting to me. The dire prediction by some analysts state the increase in video-intensive services could slow broadband down to the old days of dial-up.

I believe with the technology we have at our fingertips, this problem will undoubtedly be solved by someone. The cable companies and phone companies will have to invest billions of dollars to keep up with the demand and avoid the slowdown. The increase in transmission of music, videos and photos will contribute to the massive traffic. Apparently, the estimate monthly for one video service today is 27 petabytes which is 27 million gigabytes a month. That is the first time I have heard of a petabyte.The ebooks were not mentioned in the predictions. Ebooks download is a relatively small part of the book market today. The increased availability of ebooks is something I have written about before in other articles. As eBook downloading becomes more popular, this will certainly contribute to the increase web traffic that is being predicted.

The eBook reader is a relatively unpopular device compared to the storage devices available for music downloads. A problem with buying ebooks in volume is where you store them and how can you access them conveniently.

So one of the big companies announced yesterday that a new eBook named the Kindle is now available. You now don't need a PC to download ebooks anymore. You can buy and download and store as many as 200 books in addition to magazines on this portable wireless device. You can also download blogs and even newspapers. The ebook-reader-Kindle will make the internet busier.
