What is Amazon Kindle?

The Amazon Kindle is the electronic version of a printed book, or if I have to be more precise, the electronic version of thousands of printed books, which you can carry around anywhere you go, read any time you want, and easily share with friends and family. It allows its users to buy, read, and download e-books, electronic newspapers, PDF files, blogs, and almost any other form of digital media. The original Kindle was released back in 2007 and sold in less than six hours, while the latest iteration, unofficially labeled Kindle 3, was released in August 2010 and is the best selling Amazon product of all times. When you hold the Kindle 3 in your hands for a first time, there are two things that you are likely to notice right away - its sleek design and its weight. Weighing mere 241 grams (8.5 ounces), this latest generation Kindle is 17% lighter than its predecessor is, has softer back, and 21% smaller body.

Despite shirking in size and weight, it kept the 6'' screen area and came with improved fonts, faster page turns, and an impressive up to one-month battery life. The new E Ink screen is also better than the Kindle 2 screen and has a 50% higher contrast, which improves readability considerably, and unlike most of the LCD screens, the E Ink performs perfectly and is easy to read even in the brightest of days.

Which Kindle to buy?

The Kindle 3 also comes in two versions of its own - a Wi-Fi only version and a 3G/Wi-Fi version, with the former priced at uk pound 109.00 ($139.00) and the latter at uk pound 149.00 ($189.00). Apart from the connectivity, there are only a few small differences between the two models and about the only one worth mentioning is the fact that the Wi-Fi only version comes in graphite only, while the 3G/Wi-Fi comes in graphite and white.

The Kindle 3 has been definitely priced to sell and no matter which one you choose, you simply cannot go wrong! It is by far the most revolutionary and brilliant gadget that has been released in the past few years, it definitely has the "wow" factor, it is perfectly functional, and the decision that you have to make is not whether to buy it, but rather when.
