Kindle 3 - Released

We will today unbox Amazon Kindle 3. This is the newest version with the 3G wireless connectivity. Lets do it.

Kindle 3 is not a Smartphone but it has Smartphone touch. When you buy a kindle book, you can look at your kindle device; your Apple iPhone, Apple IOS device, your Android phone, your PC or Mac. It's a very cross-platform technology.

Remember the first generation of kindle, it was so ugly; since then Kindle has evolved tremendously; it is lighter and thinner than ever . The contrast on the screen is much better and the battery life is just insane.

I also really compare the size of the Kindle with the iPad.Lot of people, including myself, find the iPad to be a poor reading device, for many reasons.

  1. The glare is horrible while reading outdoor.
  2. The pixel density is not high enough to read the text that is very short. Reading on iPad for a long period of time can cause eye strain.
  3. And number 3, of course, the iPad is very heavy relative to the Kindle. So, holding in your hand for an hour can make your hand really tired.

Whereas kindle is extremely light weight, especially the new generation.
