Kindle Amazons 6 Wireless Reading Device Latest Generation




At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you’ll find Kindle fits perfectly in your hands. Kindle is as easy to hold and use as a book. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle’s page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position. The page-turn buttons now flex inward to prevent any accidental page turns when picking up or handling Kindle. Kindle has a new easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. Kindle is completely wireless and ready to use right out of the box–no setup, no cables, no computer required. With Kindle’s 25% longer battery life, you can read on a single charge for up to 4 days with wireless on. Turn wireless off and read for up to 2 weeks. 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. Whispernet utilizes Amazon’s optimized technology plus Sprint’s national high-speed (3G) data network to enable you to wirelessly search, discover, and download content on the go. Your books and periodicals are delivered via Whispernet in less than 60 seconds. And unlike WiFi, you never have to hunt for a hotspot.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars No Wireless Access Not A Problem
Thank you to all who have submitted reviews. I think I read every one before taking the plunge and ordering the Kindle 2. I love it!

First, I bought it because I’m running out of room to store books and, second, I never buy hardbacks and have to wait until they come out in paperback. I don’t like reading hardback books and they’re expensive – problem is solved with the Kindle.

Definitely get a cover, as the Kindle 2 is slippery. I returned the Patagonia (cheap) and ordered the M-Edge Go, which I love.

The main reason I might have returned the Kindle 2 is that, unfortunately, my rural home is not in the wireless coverage area, which I didn’t know until I tried. I can drive 20 minutes to find wireless access or download books to my computer and then to the Kindle, which I thought would be a tremendous hassle, as my rural internet connection is agonizingly slow.

But, after taking the Kindle on vacation and loving it, I thought I’d at least try the computer to Kindle download route. It’s very fast, as the files are small, and the transfer to the Kindle was just as fast – whole process took about 3 minutes (and I have very slow internet access).

So if you are hesitating as I was because of not living in an area covered by the Kindle wireless network, it’s not a problem!

I have to put in a complimentary word for the Kindle customer service people – they were very patient and answered all my questions – wonderful customer service!

My kindle 2 arrvied the other day. I love it better than the kindle 1. I just started using it. I love the text to speak feature it is better for me because I cant see to well.
