Learning GIS with the Kindle

Amazon.com had made it a little easier to access GIS books.  The Kindle is a device that allows you to access your books, newspapers, magazines, and blogs at a click of a button.  You can carry this 10.3 ounce device anywhere.  It works great outside as well as indoors.  The screen has been designed to reduce eye strain.  The cool thing is that the topics available are endless.  The GIS list for the kindle provides some great topics.  

One thing I like about the Kindle is the ability to do a search on a certain topic and it will return all downloaded books found with the topic.  There is also a dictionary for when you need to look up a certain word from withon the text.  This can be a big help when reading GIS topics.  Now you can carry the content of all those massive GIS books in one small device.

Here are some of the GIS topics available for the Kindle:

• Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach
• Programming ArcObjects with VBA: A Task-Oriented Approach
• Pro Oracle Spatial for Oracle Database 11g
• 3-D Structural Geology: A Practical Guide to Surface and Subsurface Map Interpretation
• Spatial Technology and Archaeology
• Web Cartography
