Is Amazon Kindle on your wishlist? Awaiting your birthday or important day in your life to gift yourself the amazing ebook reader? Be on the waiting list people, because Bangaloreans have got their Kindle in their mobile phones, and that too for free.
Ever heard of reading a story on your mobile phone, in a twitter format? And what if the story appears to be happening in your backyard? A simple and thrilling episode sent directly to your mobile as soon as it is crafted, and for free. Pure entertainment when you are all alone and have nothing to do but to watch the never ending traffic flow.
A Human Resource Consultant, AVS Sreenivas has developed a new system of delivering stories to mobile phone upon request. These stories are short, crisp and entertaining placing you in the midst of the characters because it happens right in the streets where you have grown up, or commute daily.
Sending an SMS to 9482217060 registers you to be receiving the story whenever there is an update which happens quite a number of times in a week.
The format is said to be modelled based on Twitter. The 140 characters are quite enough to make the reader visualise a 5 second episode virtually. The present tale which is being aired is The Revenge written by AVS Sreenivas himself.
In addition to that, every sunday, the previous episodes are uploaded on twitter so that readers can do a recap of what had happened until now. Interesting, right?

The Kindle, and all other “ebook readers” are overpriced junk. Anyone can by a used laptop or netbook and read all the ebooks in any format, plus watch videos, check your email, etc.
I bought a 10 y/o tablet PC for far less than a Kindle and have over 800 ebooks on it. All downloaded for free. In addition I can watch movies, play games and connect to the Internet anywhere there is wifi available.
I’d never pay the inflated prices Amazon and other places charge for ebooks. You’d have to be a financial masochist to pay for what is freely available.

LOL No words Smith, but to agree with you.
We have forgotten to use the already available tools and are falling in the queue to attain new products.
The more products arrive at the market with a different viewpoint, the more people flock to purchase them rather than make use of already existing ones.
