The Kindle is a very easy to use ebook reader that is as comfortable (if not more) to read from as any paper book or newspaper. Kindles have large, very clear screens and a QWERTY style keyboard that is perfect for making notes or sending messages. The latest versions of the Kindle are much lighter and far more sleeker than their predecessors, which makes them even more attractive than ever. Three different types of Kindle are available and each of them comes in a choice of graphite grey or white.
Two of the Kindles come with 6 inch screens. One Kindle wireless reading device comes with wifi access only, while the other has both wifi and 3G internet access. The 3G version offers users free 3G access worldwide, where ever a signal is available. The third model of the Kindle is the Kindle DX, which has a larger 9.7 inch screen. The Kindle DX features both wifi and 3G connectivity and benefits from the same free worldwide access as the smaller 3G version.
All three Kindles can store up to a massive 3500 books. Battery life is longest for the wireless only 6 inch Kindle, and shortest for the Kindle DX. The DX however, still has a battery life of around three weeks when wireless access is turned off, and seven days with wireless enabled. The Kindle wireless reading device also connects via a USB port to its power adapter or to a computer, for charging and data transfer.
The Kindle ebook reader has been thoughtfully designed to make reading comfortable and accessing books and other material quick and easy. The screen can be turned to read in either portrait or landscape. The special e-ink screen has an excellent clarity for both text and images and unlike a computer screen, it does not cause discomfort to the eyes during long reading sessions. Since the screen is not backlit it can also be read in bright sunlight without suffering from glare. This is a huge bonus.
Most books can be downloaded directly onto the Kindle, through the wifi or 3G internet connections. A new book can be downloaded in around one minute. Books and other files and documents can also be transferred to the Kindle from a computer. Any book that is downloaded to the Kindle can be read on all of your other devices, with which the Kindle can easily be synchronized. There are literally hundreds of thousands of downloadable books available for the Kindle, not to mention newspapers, magazines and audiobooks. The Kindle library is automatically backed up, so you can download the books you have bought again for free if they are lost or deleted. Readers can also download more than 1.8 million copyright free books, which are always provided free of charge online.
