Amazon Kindle is a software and hardware platform developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab126 for reading e-books and other digital media.

The Kindle has been pretty popular since its launch in November 2007 sold out in five and a half hours and the device remained out of stock for five months until late April 2008.

Kindle has two good news for us. First news is that the Kindle is going global.

And second the Kindle will drop $40 in price for the normal US version which cost $299 and is now $259.
