Amazon Kindle 3 Latest Generation - One of the Best Gifts for Your Loved Ones

There is a reason why the name "Kindle" is synonymous with e-book readers. It is the same reason one refers to a cola soft-drink as a "Coke" or a mp3 player as an "iPod", regardless of these items real brand identity. These items carry the largest market share of their respective segments, and are often looked upon as the gold-standard for that segment. The Kindle 3 is merely an evolutionary step on what was the gold-standard for all-around e-book readers, the Kindle 2. In this step, Amazon has basically fine tuned the Kindle, without introducing anything new of note, save WiFi.

Aside from now being available in a graphite finish, the first thing users will notice is the reduction in overall size, while maintaining a 6 inch screen size. The Kindle 3 is now 21 percent smaller and 15 percent lighter than its predecessor. It also features an improved E Ink screen. This new screen is responsible for much quicker page turning, as well as a 50 percent increase in screen contrast.

Inside the box, the Kindle 3 has doubled the on-board memory to 4GB. Now it is capable of holding 3500 eBooks, compared with 1500 on the previous model. This means the tiny Kindle is now able to hold more books than most small-town libraries. Other notable internal improvements come in the form of moderately improved battery life, expanded text-to-speech, and an improved PDF reader.

The biggest advancement comes from the addition of WiFi. The Kindle 3 is now able to utilize any WiFi network, instead of being solely reliant upon AT&T's network. Even bigger than the addition of WiFi is the fact that there is now a WiFi only model of the Kindle 3 and it retails at a very reasonable $139. At $189, the 3G + WiFi model is a bargain, especially considering there is no monthly subscription fee for the 3G wireless service.

Like all Kindle's, the 3 makes use of Amazon's impressive selection of titles; including books, newspapers, and magazines. While the Kindle should support ePub for free library downloads, Amazon makes amends by offering quite a few books which have copyrights that have lapsed and now are available in the public domain, for free. There are more than enough classics available to keep a Kindle user reading on-the-cheap for quite some time.

There is a reason the Kindle is at the top, and isn't falling off anytime soon. It is the best dedicated e-book reader that can be had. It is completely focused in obtaining written content for the readers enjoyment, in the most efficient, and simplest manner possible. The Kindle 3 is the perfect choice for someone looking for the best dedicated reader, with no intentions of ever using it for anything but a reader.
