There seems to be two major e-readers on the market now which is the Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device and the Nook. After looking at both devices, I decided on the Kindle instead. I bought the Kindle because many of my friends were using it and I really like the design. Some of things that I like about this new Kindle is that it has 50% better contrast using its E Ink Pearl technology. This works very well for me because I usually like to read at night before I go to sleep. Usually the room’s light is pretty dim so the better contrast of the Kindle really helps in this situation. Another thing that I like is that there is no glare when I use the Kindle outdoors. This is perfect for when I am relaxing by the pool or something. This version of the Kindle I bought has the free 3G wireless which means I can download books through the 3G network. I don’t have to be in a wireless hotspot to use the Wi-Fi. However, the Kindle also has Wi-Fi capability.
The feature that really impressed me about the Kindle is the long battery life. If I turn off the Wi-Fi I could use the Kindle for 3 to 4 weeks without having to charge the battery. This is really great for when I’m traveling for long periods of time. I don’t have to bring the charger with me. The 4 gigabyte internal memory is enough for me to download several thousand books. In fact, Kindle states that I could download about 3500 books. I think that is more than enough books to last me a long while. So far I have been very happy using my new Kindle 3G. I’ve taken it on all my trips and really enjoy using it. I’m so glad that I bought this on Amazon.
