At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, youll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands. Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindles page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Kindle has a new easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box–no setup, no cables, no computer required. With Kindles 25% longer battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly. Whispernet utilizes Amazons optimized technology plus Sprints national high-speed (3G) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike WiFi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot.

   As there are several hundred reviews that talk about various features and specs about kindle i will not share this on a review but i will like to point one important thing about kindle…

   The kindle has succeded in hiding the technology behind its core purpose and will make you read even more which in my opinion is the biggest success of Amazon.

   I got kindle few days ago and i read 300 pages of a book which i normally would never do with a ragular book in that timespan.

   Go get it

   We bought Kindles for 2 reasons: the large print option and the ability to travel with many books and no bulk. It is perfect. I have since learned how great it is for reading in bed; light weight and so easy to turn pages. I am adding a book light so that I can read in bed and not disturb my partner. A great solution to several problems!
