Kindle is the most widely used e-Book reader by now after its launch back in 2007. It may most probably be because Kindle supports most existing e-Book formats. Files can be supported natively or through conversion, while other files need special software for it to be compatible with Kindle.

The primary format used for e-Books from the Amazon Store is the AZW format, and is owned by Amazon. It is identical to the MOBI format. The Kindle Fire uses the KF8 format. The first Kindle models use plain TXT files, Topaz or TPZ files, AZW and Mobipocket or MOBI or PRC files. The second generation Kindle then used PDF (Portable Document Format) and audible (AAX) formats in addition to the first ones. It can also read HTML files that were eliminated in the third generation Kindle. The fourth generation Kindle uses the formats supported by the original Kindle, with the addition of JPEG, DOCX, GIF, HTML and PNG that are available through conversion. It also supports audio (AA and AAX) and MP3 files.

Amazon offers paid conversion of some files including HTML, MS Word, BMP, PNG and GIF to AZW via email. Unsupported format of Kindle is EPUB, which is used by the Nook. But a free software Calibre can be used to convert EPUB to AZW format. Calibre can also be used to convert other unsupported formats such as LIT of MS Reader and LRF of Sony. The Kindle Fire supports audio formats AAC, WAV, MIDI, OGG and MP3, while the video formats supported are VP8 and MP4.

Amazon is the one responsible for creating the Kindle, which can be considered as the first tablets that are mainly used for reading. Kindles is available in five generations now, with each having improvement from its predecessor. Amazon knows just what readers need by making sure that Kindle can support most formats. Readers that have been using e-Books even before Kindle was released can use their e-Books to good use, since Kindle supports the most formats. It also provides users the most convenience by initiating a conversion process. As e-Book reader, it is best to know which formats are supported by the Kindle you are using. If you are an author, you don’t have to worry about compatible formatting since Kindle supports Microsoft Word, plain text or Adobe formats to be converted to AZW format so that you can have your book sold for Kindle.

Most Canadians are avid followers of Kindle, Amazon’s famous e-book reader. But sad to say, not all released Kindles models are available for shipment to Canada. The Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Paperwhite are currently not available for Canada users. But Canadians need not be frustrated, for there are still several Kindle models to choose from.

The 6-inch Kindle with Wi-Fi is available for only $89. It is almost as thin as a regular pencil and is lighter than a paperback, perfect for readers who are always on the go. Users can download books in as fast as 60 seconds and hold up to a thousand books. It also supports books exclusive to Kindle and also kids’ books. The battery can last for up to one month. With its built in Wi-Fi, users just have to connect to the Internet for easy access to books.

The Kindle Keyboard 3G is another Kindle Reader Canada which is perfect for those who love to take notes while reading since it has a physical keyboard. With its wireless 3G capability, users need not find a Wi-Fi hotspot in order to access books since it uses the same system used by mobile phones. The best thing about it is that the 3G capability is free, as Amazon pays for it. Canadians also have the option to buy the Kindle touch family that features touch screen technology. It comes in 3G version as well. Unlike the previous Kindles that use keys, these models provide readers with easier use because with a light tap, the page can already be turned. It maintains the typical E-ink screen that Kindle is known for. This display technology makes e-reading so advanced that readers seem to read real books.

Buying Kindle from Amazon is so easy, since instructions are provided and links to where you should go can be seen easily. Prices of Kindle in Canada differ from that of the US since appropriate shipping fees should apply. Customers also have the option to expedite the delivery, just like ordering from the US.

Something as useful as Kindle should be availed by everyone. With Amazon’s Kindle, customers can have his own handy digital library that lets him share books and notes to others as well. Luckily, there are Kindle models that can be delivered to Canada. But Canadians can still find ways to have the other ones if they know someone from the US who can buy on their behalf.

Kindle is the most popular eReader, or a device that supports e-books. The Kindle family now has five generations first introduced in the US. As of this writing, the Kindle Fire and the fifth generation that includes the Kindle Paperwhite is not yet available for Canada shipping. However, Canadians can choose the other models that boast easy to use interface for those who love to read books wherever they are.

Kindle is the first to introduce e-book readers as its creator, Amazon.com, offers an array of e-book collections. It offered readers the most convenient way to read because users need not carry an actual book. They do not have to visit a bookstore to catch the latest book since they just have to download or buy it from the Amazon store. Tablets are the latest technology being developed now after launching laptops and notebooks, and these tablets may also be used for e-book reading and thus compete with Amazon’s Kindle. But Kindle has its own distinct way of being a special device for book lovers to appreciate.

Amazon designed Kindle for book readers to have the best reading experience. With the use of E-ink technology, as opposed to LCD, readers can read both inside a room or out in the sun since it has high contrast and does not glare. Because of this technology, book reading for extended time will not produce any discomfort especially with the eyes. The fourth generation Kindle introduces the touch screen technology, which makes it more handy and easy to use because of the added features and capability. Luckily, the fourth generation Kindle Touch is available for sale in Canada just this year, and Canadians can order it now straight from the giant online retail store. Kindle eReader Canada is priced almost the same as US orders, with the addition of shipping fees.

For Kindle followers hoping to have the Kindle models that are not available for Canada shipping yet, they still have other options in which to buy it. If they know someone from the US, they can ask to buy it in their behalf and have it shipped to them afterwards. But if not, you can ask for the service of Vpost or Comgateway who can buy it in their behalf using a US address and then ship it to them. This way, they can have the latest Kindle eReader that are not yet available in their country.
