kindle 3 reviews

Treat your eyes and brain free from any stress when reading your favorite books. The new Kindle 3 has a quality of a real book paper because of its E ink technology without giving your eyes any strain. The text that you see in screen is very sharp having a static image that doesn’t flicker it feels very pleasant to your eyes. You can easily adjust the font size that is right for you. Kindle screen doesn’t glow and you can read it directly even in a sunlight therefore, your eyes never gets tired even after how many hours of reading. Lighter and thinner than a real book so you can endure your reading without tiring your hands for hours. It can carry more than 3,500 ebooks pack up your entire book collection without thinking twice. No need to worry for your battery life even if you’re on a long trip because a single charge will last up to one month. For two years Kindle never stops developing their best products to master the ultimate reading pleasure that stands out the best among the rest.

What kindle ebook reader type is right for me?

Available Kindles are Kindle 3 with Wi-Fi, Kindle 3 with Wi-Fi + 3G and the Kindle DX (with Wi-Fi + 3G). If your home and office has Wi-Fi coverage and you spent most of the time surfing the net in there the Kindle with Wi-Fi only is for you. If you need to surf the net anywhere without any Wi-Fi hot spot the Wi-Fi + 3G is for you. And if you want a bigger screen to view much wider portion of an ebook the Kindle DX is right for you.

Wi-Fi are almost everywhere in school, office, coffee shop, hotels and it is much faster than the 3G. If you don’t have Wi-Fi connection most of the time 3G is a better and it was provided by Amazon for free. I think paying an extra $50 for a Kindle with 3G is very much compensated for your unlimited lifetime usage.

Issues concerning Kindle

Some issues concerning the comparison of Kindle between the Nook and ipad. Both the Nook and iPad are colored and touch screen but after a while the back light will turn off while you’re reading it. iPad is the best mp3 player easy to navigate and songs are organized in folders but not the best ebook reader. Nook and iPad weights heavier, it does really matter for an hour of reading it’s quite tiring not relaxing. Their battery drains faster last for only 4-6 days and Kindle last for 3-4 weeks. Reading from LCD touch screen is irritating and reading from a Kindle screen is soothing.

Some people say that Kindle battery is irreplaceable and opening your Kindle may void its warranty. Although this is not a problem because Kindle will replace it with free of charge. Moreover, Kindle battery will last for 3-4 weeks it means that you will charge it for only 14-20 times a year therefore its battery will last until 4-6 years.

Kindle doesn’t have a back light so you can’t read it in the dark. The reason why Kindle doesn’t have a back light is because it will keep you out from straining your eyes. The simple solution to this problem is to buy a small light that can be clipped to your Kindle case and comfortably reading it.
