Product Description

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.

Reviewer: Mrs. Dorothy Massey, salford, manchester United Kingdom
What would I do without it! This product will save so much weight in holiday packing, as I normally buy 2 or 3 paperbacks to take away with me. Now I can download umpteen and take them in the Kindle memory. It takes up so little room and easily fits into my handbag. I am absolutely delighted with it. Would and have recommended it to all my friends.
Fantastic product, easy to use, great value for money

Reviewer: Mr. Philip Whiteside Atom Software, Norhtern Ireland, UK
Very impressed with this product, although initial outlay seems quite a lot, the money saved in the discounted books will allow you to redeem your money back over time, plus immediate delivery of the book when ordered, downloading directly to the device is fantastic. I am based in the UK but have no techinal issues at all now that the region is covered.

Reviewer: V. Mazalu,
An altogether very good product and innovation. The best electronic bookreader I have used so far. I wish it could make it easier and quicker to navigate the Bible for people like Pastors/Ministers of religion. This way it would be convenient for everyone.

I love the Kindle, I read at work, no more hassle with taking more than one book. It is very easy to navigate and use, book purchases are also very easy.
