Try our new interactive buying guides
Shopping
search engines are great when you already know what you want. But
what if you want to buy a digital camera for someone for the holidays
and don't have a clue where to start? Wouldn't it be nice if you
could pick through the zillions of options by process of elimination?
Popgadget has partnered with Techselector to bring you interactive
buying guides that take you through a series of questions
to hone in on the product you're looking for. We know that Popgadget
readers aren't all tech geeks (or at least not in every area of
tech), so this is for those of you who want a friendlier approach
to finding just the right product for your needs. Give it a try
(or let someone less tech-savvy then yourself give it a try), and
let us know what you think.

Kindle: Amazon's very own digital book reader
Kindle,
Amazon's very own wireless electronic portable reader, gives you
access to more than 90.000 books, blogs, magazines and newspapers.
Kindle uses the same wireless technology as advanced cell phones,
which allows you to download/buy books directly onto/from the device
in less that 60 seconds, with no Internet access or tedious search
for Wi-Fi hotspots. Unlike regular cell phone technology, no monthly
access fee is required for Kindle. What you pay is the content
you decide to download. For example, a subscription to the NYTimes costs
$13.99 per month and one to BoingBoing $1.99,
whereas a whole book costs on average $9.99. Kindle weighs less
than a paperbook but can hold about 200 books, and its memory can
be increased using an SD card. Kindle is available from Amazon
for $399. (PopLife Media is an Amazon partner, and subscriptions
to Popgadget and Babygadget are
both available for Kindle.) (by Camilla)
