If your mom likes to read, the Kindle Wireless Reading Device really is a great gift idea for her. There are so many details and features about the Kindle, that we had a hard time figuring out which ones to highlight. We picked out a few features that we think would interest moms.

Kindle 02Simple to Use, No Computer Required-Unlike most electronic devices, we wanted to keep Kindle simple. Kindle is wireless and ready to use right out of the box–no setup, no cables, no software to install, no computer required.

Long Battery Life—Read for Days Without Recharging-With Kindle’s long battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 1 week with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low-coverage areas or in EDGE/GPRS-only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.

Get Books in as Little as 60 Seconds-Whispernet utilizes Amazon’s optimized technology plus a high-speed data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike Wi-Fi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot. Wireless download times can vary based on 3G or EDGE/GPRS coverage, signal strength, and file size. See wireless coverage map for availability.

No Monthly Wireless Bills-No monthly wireless bills or commitments. Amazon pays for Kindle’s wireless connectivity so you won’t see a monthly wireless bill. There is no wireless setup–you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box. See Wireless Terms and Conditions.

Holds Over 1,500 Books-The ultimate travel companion, Kindle weighs 10.2 ounces and holds up to 1,500 books. No longer pick and choose which books fit in your carry-on. You can always have your entire Kindle library with you.

Kindle 03Lose Yourself in Your Reading-The most elegant feature of a physical book is that it disappears while you’re reading. Immersed in the author’s world and ideas, you don’t notice a book’s glue, the stitching, or ink. Our top design objective was to make Kindle disappear—just like a physical book—so you can get lost in your reading, not the technology.

Amazon’s Kindle Book Store has over 500,000 titles to choose from, so it’s a no-brainer that mom can find something she likes.

If you are wanting to think outside-the-box this Mother’s Day and surpass the flowers, candy, jewelry and mugs – consider giving Mom the Kindle Wireless Reading.

A note to Moms -you might want to consider not trying to use subtle hints that you want one of these for Mother’s Day and instead say, “Hey family. I want a Kindle for Mother’s Day”. That might just do the trick!
