The battery-operated Amazon Kindle, shown here in this image released to Reuters on November 19, 2007, let users download books, newspapers and blogs over a wireless connection. It can carry about 200 books downloaded from Amazon.com. Amazon.com, the world's largest Web retailer, said on Monday that it will begin selling an electronic book reader with wireless access, the latest attempt to build consumer interest in portable reading devices.
