Amazon's Kindle 3 Review - Core Features


Amazon's Kindle 3 is a favorite e-Book reader among book lovers. Every design and features of kindle 3 is optimized for reading in the most pleasurable way. There are no technological inconveniences that most e-Book readers suffer from. It is considered the best standalone e-Book reading device in the market, and there are certain reasons that makes Kindle 3 stand apart from other common e-readers. Listed below are the core features and the reasons why it is so popular among avid readers:

E Ink Pearl Display Screen

The use of the latest E Ink technology known as "Pearl" makes Kindle 3 an absolute reading device with 50% better contrast from its previous generation. The texts are sharp and very clear which is much better than LCD screen displays.

The screen display of Kindle 3 actually looks like real paper print and not like a computer or Smart-phone screen. After spending 7 - 8 hours working on a computer screen I find it unworkable to read books from LCD screen at night. The E Ink Pearl screen is very gentle on the eyes and pleasant to read. It doesn't emit light like LCD screen and hence there is no eyestrain and no glare while reading in the bright sunlight.

Along with the E Ink Pearl high-contrast display Kindle 3 is further optimized with Amazon's proprietary Waveform and font technology enabling Kindle to turn pages faster by 20% and making fonts darker and sharper.

Optimized Reading Design

Kindle 3 is extremely light and portable with just 8.5 ounces of weight and barely 1/3 of an inch thick. It is easy to hold in one hand while reading for long hours and the page-turning buttons are located on both sides if you change hand. Unlike most electronic devices it doesn't get hot and you can read as long as you like.

Kindle 3 allow you to change text size while reading any books or periodicals. There are eight different font sizes to choose your preferences. It also has three font styles and not just one standard font style as in the case of other e-Book readers.

Longer Battery Life

The battery run-time of Kindle 3 is really good. It last up to a month of reading from a single full charge battery. This is an important feature when you plan to read books uninterrupted and conveniently. It is disappointing with most e-readers when you realized that you need to recharge the battery again after a couple of hours in the middle of some interesting read. LCD screens consume a lot of power and hardly last up to a week from a single charge even with the best technology.

Built-in Wi-Fi

Wherever you go Kindle automatically detect Wi-Fi networks allowing you to search and download books on the go. You can download books in less than 60 second into you device itself without the need to connect to a computer and transfer books. With the Kindle you enjoy free Wi-Fi connection with AT&T hotspots.

Kindle Store

There are more than 700,000 titles available for download on Kindle store. This includes almost all the selection of books people want to read and look for. Out of the available titles, over 550,000 titles are for $9.99 or less. There are over 1.8 million free out-of-copyrights, pre-1923 titles available to download including many classic works such as Alice in Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice and Treasure Island.

If you like reading, Kindle 3 is indeed the best dedicated e-Book reader available in the market. It is worth your money with all the features optimized for pleasant reading. Kindle 3 is certainly a device to recommend for ultimate reading experience.
