Tom's Hardware is Now Available on Kindle!
Now you can get Tom's Hardware content beamed right to your Kindle.
The new Kindle released during summer was improved in almost every way. It had 50 percent better contrast than any other e-reader on the market at the time, a new sleek design with a 21 percent smaller body while still keeping the same 6-inch-size reading area, and a 15 percent lighter weight at just 8.7 ounces.
The price was also better too with a $139 Wi-Fi version and a $189 3G model.
Whether you have one of the shiny new Kindles, or one of the previous models on which you've read many books, there's a Tom's Hardware e-reader experience that's built specifically for the Amazon device.
The Tom's Hardware Kindle blog collects content from the site, which is then fully downloaded onto your Kindle so you can read them even when you're not wirelessly connected. Unlike RSS readers, which often only provide headlines, blogs on Kindle give you full text content and images, and are updated wirelessly throughout the day.

Sounds more like an ad for the Kindle...instead of a news story. Hmm..
i get Tom's directly on my hd2 too! and with flying colors!! i never got the point of those kindles when all you need on any other smartphone or tablet is acrobat reader...IMO.
*like*
Awesome! Now if I just had a Kindle...
I love my new Kindle but why am I going to pay $1 per month for something I can read on a PC for free and in colour?
why kindle??
Sense kindle runs android, does that mean that you will have an android app available soon?
EDIT: At least thats what the people at the local barens and noble told me, I'm not 100% sure though...

The lcd on the smartphones are too small and too bright, reading a book on them is uncomfortable.

depends on the person, if its too bright then you can dim the led and if its to small, i wouldnt recommend anything less than 4.3"
But why not available in Australia!!!
Kindle and Amazon's closed system sucks! Use the Calibre software and it will automatically generate "eBooks" in .epub format for all the popular feeds and news papers.
Go on Tom's... see if you can create a Recipe in Calibre for the Toms Feed (complete with links and photos).
I'm not a iPad lover but iPad is easier on the eyes reading eBooks.
wow great.
No Ads on the Kindle, I'd guess. That's why it's $0.99/Month.
woot! I just ordered a kindle off of Amazon 5 minutes ago!
Very nice but we still waiting the new forum platform with HTML support!!!
Great...now I can read more idiots write "Can it play Crysis?"
Can it feed the world?

Even if you dim the brightness the lcd screen remains too bright. I don't own a kindle, but I fiddled with one, if you want to do some serious reading it's fantastic, way better than any smartphone, slate, computer/laptop lcd. Of course the kindlke screen has a downsize, because it's only good to reading books and worthless for anything else.
Get me a colour Kindle that can use a real internet browser and play video, music or pictures from SD cards and people will buy it in droves.
I guess they get to read the mobile version of the site on the kindle?

I set mine to white txt on black background. Then I set the brightness low on the device and the app lets me turn it even lower.. Works for me..
Great news! I look forward to reading Tom's Hardware on my Kindle.
So like the ultimate sucker, and largely due to this blurb, I just bought a new kindle this morning. Now I go to the TH kindle blog page to subscribe, and was merrily greeted with:
"This title is not available for customers from: Canada"
i feel shafted
fortunately i have more use for it than reading toms hardware's advertisement feeds.
Awesome! Finally, something I can use the Kindle for other than a paperweight! Sad but true- it was given to me as a gift for graduating college and it's pretty lame that it doesn't have native support for .docx or other file formats so that I could actually use it for stuff I need to do. I don't read many books, but this is cool.
Its not available for European Kindle owners - any chance of opening it up a little for non-us based readers?
@jools33: In Canada we get no Kindle blogs at all. I think it has less to do with TH or even Kindle and more to do with the fact that our wireless carriers aren't cutting Kindle a good enough deal to be able to give us all the 3G traffic.
