Staples, Inc. announced plans to offer customers Kindle. Staples is the only office store to carry the wireless reading device in all of its stores nationwide beginning this fall. Interactive displays will allow customers to experience the product before they buy and to learn more about the Kindle. 

Kindle is a reading device that wirelessly downloads books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and personal documents to a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display that looks and reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight. The Kindle has a new electronic-ink screen with 50% better contrast, is 21% smaller and 15% lighter, has  20% faster page turns, up to one month of battery life with wireless off, double the storage to 3,500 books, and more for $139. 

The Kindle Store now has more than 670,000 books, including New Releases and 107 of 111 New York Times Best Sellers. Kindle lets you Buy Once, Read Everywhere — on Kindle, Kindle 3G, Kindle DX, iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, Mac, PC, BlackBerry, and Android-based devices. Amazon’s Whispersync technology syncs across most devices. 

Staples will carry the following new Kindle devices: 

• Kindle ($139.00) – 6” diagonal    
• Kindle 3G ($189.00) – 6” diagonal    
• Kindle DX ($379.00) - 9.7” diagonal (available at Staples late fall 2010)
