Description

Final Project Fiona / Kindle product design and cover. At this point in the product development program it was decided that the product's name was going to be “Kindle”. The logo on the front was co-molded to insure that it would never rub off. The Amazon Kindle was one of the first consumer electronics product to ship with a built-in data only WAN and on-device store.
