- Kindle Reader
- Different Amazon Kindle readers for reading books, newspapers, magazins and one's own documents are available. The default format is MOBI, i.e. eBooks in the popular format EPUB must be converted before reading. Luckily eBooks without DRM (=copy protection) can be easy converted with PC applications such as Calibre.
