The Kindle electronic reader from Amazon.com is able to do much more than just read books. The Kindle 3 can surf the Web, read out loud and play music in addition to reading email attachments. These attachments, generally Microsoft Word files or picture files, can be emailed to the Kindle user's Kindle email address for a small charge. Creating the Kindle email address where the documents are sent is simple. Amazon automatically creates a Kindle email address based on the email address registered to your Amazon.com account. However, you can create a new one if desired.
