subject: The New Amazon Kindle - 3 Reasons To Buy This Electronic Book Reader Device [print this page] If you are looking to buy an electronic reader device but not sure which brand to purchase, I would suggest you get the new Amazon Kindle 3. In this article, you will know the specifications, features and the advantages of this device over other electronic book readers.
I just got mine delivered a few days ago and personally, I highly recommend it even to occasional readers. Here's why:
Small and Lightweight
The Kindle 3 is truly a heaven sent for book lovers. For those who love reading but hate carrying around heavy books, Kindle is the way to go. It weighs only 8.7 ounces with a size 7.5" x 4.8" x 0.335" - just how convenient is that for a couple of hours reading! With this eReader, you can carry up to 3500 books with its 4 GB storage capacity.
When compared to the previous versions of the Kindle, the Kindle 3 is absolutely more featured-packed and it's actually 21 percent smaller and 17 percent lighter but retains its huge 6 inches display screen. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better than that, it also boasts 50 percent better contrast. So yes, those who bought the older versions should totally consider buying a Kindle 3G Wifi.
More Connectivity Options
With Kindle 3, you can choose from two different connectivity options: 3G and Wifi. But the 3G option is different in that it doesn't come with hidden costs for data plans unlike mobile phones. In short, it's free, so as long as you are within 3G coverage, you can download books and browse web pages to your heart's content. Of course, you can connect to wifi hotspots on places with weak 3G signal.
Better Than Other E-Book Readers
While its rivals use a touch screen interface, I personally think keyboards are better. It makes it easier for you to look up for words in its built-in dictionary and do other tasks that require quick typing. I've tested Barnes and Noble's Nook and found that it has shorter battery life due to its colored screen. Sony's Reader, on the other hand, is not as readable and even reflects glare in brighter light.
