Amazon has once again taken a lead ahead of Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Apple’s iPad by launching its latest version of wireless e-book reader Kindle 3. This third generation Kindle is 15% lighter (only 8.7 ounces), 21% smaller and only 8.5 mm thick, making it the thinnest kindle ever. The 6 inch monochromic E-Ink technology enabled screen is retained in the latest version but with improved contrast.
Now what makes Kindle 3 fascinatingly different from earlier versions is its 20% faster page turns (or page refresh rate) and a web kit based browser. The latter is meant for free 3G web browsing being provided on an experimental basis as of now. Also, more conspicuous page-navigation buttons on side make the new kindle easier to use.
One of the other design changes as compared to Kindle 2 includes, the ‘Menu’ and ‘Back’ buttons being shelved on keyboard rather on sides. You can also observe this in the adjacent Kindle 3′s image. The read-in-bright-sunlight feature ensuring no glare during sunlight reading is another unique feature in Kindle 3. You can now read for hours on a sea shore without any eye strain.
Coming to some of the other absorbing features of Kindle 3, it has a built in Wi-Fi which can be used to shop and download up to 3,500 e-books from Amazon’s library consisting 6,30,000 e-books (the storage space in new kindle is almost doubled).
