I think by now everybody has heard of, and knows that a Kindle is a completely portable eBook reader on which you can browse, read and download newspapers, magazines, blogs and especially eBooks. Since November 2007 when the first Kindle came on the market and sold out in five and a half hours, In my opinion the writing was on the wall that this was going to be the top eBook reader for many years to come.
As I said earlier the first Kindle was released in 2007 to be followed by Kindle 2 in Feb 2009 and Kindle 2 international released October 2009 and now we have Kindle 3-or, third generation, with free 3G and Wi-Fi,released August 2010. These new and improved eBook reading devices feature "E ink" Pearl Technology to greatly improve the screen and of course reading.
What is E-ink you may ask? E-ink stands for electronic ink, a technology designed to mimic the appearance of ordinary ink on paper as opposed to a back lit screen. Electronic ink and electronic paper screens reflect light just like ordinary paper. This technology allows for a more comfortable read than many backlit screens. This also means that these screens can be read in direct sunlight making the New Kindle devices extremely coveted.
As the producers of Kindle do not number their devices we can use the phrase "known as" and call the latest Kindle "Kindle 3" just for ease of recognition.So:-
Kindle 3 comes in two versions,
1. The kindle Wi-Fi, which as it suggests, connects to the internet via public and /or private Wi-Fi networks.
2. Kindle with 3G, connects with both Wi-Fi connection as above and 3G which is a free connection to the same wireless signals that cell-phones use; thus allowing for purchases and downloads from anywhere with cell-phone service.
The many improvements of this new eBook reader include an improved memory, expanded to 4 GB, extended battery life to say three weeks without charging, and "text to speak" option to read text aloud, should you tire of reading but wish to continue with your eBook or document. These progressive improvements display a genuine determination by the producers to keep improving Kindle, and there are many accessories and apps to other media devices. Many other portable devices have come on the market to challenge Kindle year on year but still it remains the number one eBook reader and sleak design with ease of use only strengthens its #1 spot in the market place.
Of course running alongside these special devices is the Kindle DX where the original was released in June 2009 the DX international in January 2010 and still improving the DX international 2 was released in July 2010. The Kindle DX physically is the largest of the Kindle family and features a larger screen and is more suitable for newspapers and textbooks and also includes E ink technology. Another great point with e ink and e paper is the fact that this technology allows for longer battery life and easy readability.
