Amazon has released the new Kindle reading device. It’s less than half an inch thick, and weighs less than 11 ounces. The weight, measurements, and innovations of the device make it more convenient to read than traditional books.

Amazon Kindle is specially developed to allow for comfortable use, especially as many people tend to read for long periods of time. You can turn the pages of any book you’re reading using your right or left hand, with page-turning buttons located on both sides of the device. Kindle’s newest version has page-turners which are set in such a manner as to prevent accidental operation when not in use.

The device also has an innovative, user-friendly 5-way interface, which allows the user to navigate accurately to any point on the screen or page, and even highlight content or search for specific words.

You don’t need to have a computer to get the Kindle to work. You can start reading your preferred literature right after taking the device out of the box. There’s no need to set anything else up.

The battery charge of the latest Kindle incarnation improves on the battery life of the previous version by a fourth of its capacity. The device does not require periodic charging, even if you use it for days on end. The battery charge cans sustain the Kindle if the wireless function is turned off. When you do need to recharge your Kindle, you can plug it into a wall socket with the Kindle adapter, or connect it to a desktop computer or laptop via a USB 2.0 cable that comes with the package. From a fully depleted state, the Kindle only needs 4 hours to obtain the maximum charge.

With Kindle’s high-speed 3G network, you can get new books in under a minute. The Whispernet network combines Sprint’s fast 3G data network and Amazon’s technology to give the user the ability to look for content and download it wirelessly. Any downloaded literature is completely stored in the Kindle in less than sixty seconds. Whispernet does not require the user to look for a hotspot, unlike one would for WiFi.

The Whispernet network’s quick and easy download service is available at no cost to the Kindle user. You won’t receive any bills, have to work around a data plan, or sign a contract. Amazon takes care of the device’s wireless connectivity, so the Kindle is really all you need – and it works right out of the box.

The books in your library will never be out of reach with Kindle. An online library stores a list of books downloaded from Whispernet. If any information is lost or erased, you won’t have to pay a cent to download the content once more. You can also store other information, such as annotations made to a book, or pages you’ve bookmarked, all online and easily accessible.

Lose yourself in literature with Amazon’s Kindle reading device. It’s easier to use, and much more convenient than having to tote around magazines, paperbacks, or hardbounds. Best of all, Kindle’s high-res display provides sharp and clear text and images.
