Oprah Winfrey likes Amazon Kindle
Oprah Winfrey has just revealed on her television show that she loves the Amazon Kindle e-book reader.
She said that the Kindle is her “new favorite gadget”. She even went on to admit that Kindle is a life changing gadget for her.
Market analysts believe that this could boost customer interest in the Kindle ebook reader which is mostly popular amongst the techies.
Amazon does not reveal the sales figure of the device so it is hard to tell how popular it has been in the market since its launch.
Amazon however does admit that they are pretty satisfied with the sales of the Kindle device which competes with an ebook reader from Sony.

As an editor and writer who saw his first published story set in hot metal, I marvel at Amazon’s Kindle reader and its role in the future of the “printed” word.
I’m thrilled to see Oprah endorse Kindle!
No traditional book can offer the interactive platform I’ve created for the Kindle edition of my novel Brazil or open the door to actively sharing the magic that goes into the making of a monumental novel.
Linked to the e-text is a unique and free online guide with more than 200 images and illustrations, providing an indispensable companion on a fictional journey through five hundred years of Brazilian history.
Preview the guide at my website: http://www.erroluys.com
I’ve also linked the Kindle Illustrated Guide to Brazil to an archive of my working notes, plus a journal kept on a four-month 20,000-kilometer trek across Brazil. What better way for the reader-explorer of an epic as vast as Brazil to discover a totally new and original world beyond stereotypes of samba and Carnival!
Were Gutenberg here to see the Kindle, he would have one word to say: “Bravo!”
