Paper-like Screen
Utilizing a new high-resolution display technology called electronic paper,
Kindle provides a crisp black-and-white screen that resembles the
appearance and readability of printed paper. The screen works using
ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles
electronically. It reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no
backlighting, eliminating the glare associated with other electronic
displays. As a result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight
as in your living room.The screen never gets hot so you can comfortably
read as long as you like.
See what others are saying about the Kindle screen:
James Patterson, author of You've Been Warned, "The
screen is fabulous. You would expect that, with a screen, there would
be a glare, it would be hard to read but it's not. There’s no glare.
It's not backlit, which is kind of magical. I think people are going to
be very, very surprised and delighted. This is a lot easier to read
than a lot of books are these days."
Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, "I'm telling you,
after five minutes I've ceased to think I'm looking at a screen. It's
not like reading a computer screen. It's more like reading a piece of
paper. I think it's actually clearer, easier on the eye than the
printed word."
Neil Gaiman, author of Stardust, "It's like paper and it’s very interesting. It’s very, very crisp. Very functional. Very readable."

Wireless Access with Whispernet™
Whispernet utilizes Amazon's optimized technology plus Sprint's
national high-speed (EVDO) data network to enable you to wirelessly
search, discover, download, and read content on the go.Unlike WiFi,
you don't have to find a hotspot. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless
connectivity so you will never see a monthly wireless bill for shopping
the Kindle Store. There is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop,
purchase and read right out of the box. Note: There is no wireless coverage available currently on Sprint’s data network for Kindle in Montana and Alaska.

Carry Your Library in 10.3 Ounces
At 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than typical paperbacks,
and fits easily in one hand. Its built-in memory stores hundreds of
titles. An optional SD memory card lets you hold even more. From
Melville to Morrison, your favorite authors can always be with you.
In addition, books you purchase from the Kindle Store are backed up
online in your Kindle book library at Amazon.com. You can wirelessly
re-download books available in your library for free. This allows you
to make room for new titles on your Kindle. We even back up your last
page read and annotations. Please see more information about your
Kindle library content.

|
Ergonomic DesignWe wanted Kindle to be as easy to hold and use
as a book, so we designed it with long-form reading in mind. When
reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions
often. Kindle's full-length, vertical page-turning buttons are located
on either side, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably from
any position. Navigation on both sides means both "lefties" and
"righties" can easily use Kindle with one hand. And at only 10.3
ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than a typical paperback.

SearchKindle makes it easy to search across your library. To
use the Search feature, simply type in a word or phrase you’re looking
for, and Kindle will find every instance across your Kindle library.
Looking for an article you read a couple of days ago about hybrid cars
but can’t remember where? Simply type in hybrid
and Kindle will search your library for each reference, making it easy
to jump directly to what you’re looking for. You can extend your search
to the Kindle Store to find related titles you may be interested in.
Explore even further by searching Wikipedia.

KeyboardKindle's QWERTY keyboard puts the Kindle Store at your
fingertips. Simply type in a title, author, or keyword to find the
book, newspaper, or magazine you are looking for. From there, click to
buy, and begin reading your selection in under a minute.
The keyboard also enables you to do a full text search across your
entire library or within a specific title. To find the article you read
last week on globalization, simply type in globalization
to locate each relevant reference. You can then jump to Wikipedia to
learn more about it. The keyboard also means you can annotate text and
utilize Kindle’s built-in dictionary without interrupting your reading.
|
|
Bookmarks and AnnotationBy using the keyboard, you can add
annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a
book. And because it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your
notes, highlight and clip key passages, and bookmark pages for future
use. You'll never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because
Kindle remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.
|
|
Built-in Dictionary
Never get caught without a dictionary. Kindle includes The New Oxford American Dictionary
with over 250,000 entries and definitions, so you can seamlessly look
up the meanings of words without interrupting your reading. Never fear
a sesquipedalian word again—simply look it up as you go.
|
|
Wireless Access to WikipediaKindle also includes free built-in
access to the world's most exhaustive and up-to-date
encyclopedia—Wikipedia.org. With Kindle in hand, looking up people,
places, events and more has never been easier. It gives whole new
meaning to the phrase walking encyclopedia.
|
|
Adjustable Text Size
Because one size doesn’t fit all, you can increase the text size of
your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your
eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading
comfortably. Kindle has six adjustable font sizes to suit your reading
preference.

|
Long Battery LifeLeave wireless on and recharge approximately
every other day. Turn wireless off and read for a week or more before
recharging. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as
shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low coverage
areas or in 1xRTT only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery
power more quickly. Kindle fully recharges in two hours.
