Practising Law Institute Becomes the First Professional Publisher to Offer Its
Books Exclusively on Wireless Amazon Kindle

NEW YORK, July 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Practising Law Institute (PLI),
the nation's leading provider of continuing legal education, announces that it
is now releasing its wide-ranging line of authoritative legal practice books
on Amazon Kindle store, becoming the first professional publisher to take
advantage of this breakthrough wireless reading format. Kindle is Amazon's
portable reader that wirelessly downloads books, blogs, magazines and
newspapers to a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display that looks and
reads like real paper. Kindle is available for $299 at www.amazon.com/kindle.

There are currently 67 PLI titles available on Kindle, covering such areas as
business, corporate and securities law, banking and commercial law,
intellectual property law, estate and tax planning law, real estate law,
insurance law, elder law, and litigation.

By year-end, the line will expand to over 100 titles, including new titles
addressing the global economic crisis from a variety of legal perspectives
important to today's attorneys - the growing number of government
investigations and lawsuits, ensuring compliance with existing corporate and
securities regulations, and preparing for the increased regulation to come.

PLI's book line will be regularly updated at least annually for most titles.

The suggested retail price point will be $250.

"We're very excited about our new collaboration with Amazon to bring our
titles to the Kindle store," said William C. Cubberley, PLI's Publisher.
"We're already on the cutting edge when it comes to meeting attorneys' growing
information needs through the presentation of practical legal programs
designed for various electronic technologies. So it makes perfect sense that
we take this next big step and now make our many books as easy to access as
our institutes and seminars."

PLI has chosen an exclusive association with Kindle because of Kindle's close
fit with PLI's reach to over 200,000 practicing attorneys.

PLI is giving away 6 free Kindle wireless readers to purchasers of PLI
treatises, in random drawings that will highlight PLI's remarkable new
association with Amazon Kindle [details at www.pli.edu].
