Today, the eBook reading device has been able to establish itself as the device for storing and downloading eBooks. One of the most popular eBook reading devices is the Kindle, developed by Amazon; this device can be purchased at the Amazon website in a number of different colours and styles. The 6 inch screen smaller version is now available on the market for less than $200. Users are able to access in excess of 600,000 books which they can decide to purchase and download at their own leisure, with the ability to store in excess of 1,000 titles on the device at any one time.

The Kindle device is excellent for those who have an interest in storing and downloading reference books used for vintage and antique collectibles. You can find books in the online bookstore for all types of collectibles such as gemstones, coins, jewellery, vintage linens and even quilts. One of the best aspects of the Kindle device is its thickness, which is only one third of an inch. It's small enough that you can hold it in a small case or a purse and carry it along with you to antique shows and shops. This makes it most ideal when keeping helpful information such as price guides and reference materials when shopping for those antiques. These devices also have 3G connectivity which gives users the ability to download additional items online which they do not already have.

The Kindle device can also access social network sites, making it ideal for sending messages on Facebook or Twitter so that you can get an expert opinion from other people in your field. The life of the battery is considerably longer than what you'd get from your typical mobile phone, so you rarely have to worry about losing connection to the internet.
