Amazon Kindle Review


Amazon kindle

The new Kindle comes in two flavours: 3G and Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi only. There's a £40 difference in the two Kindles, but the choice really comes down to how you want to consume your ebook content. If you are going to be buying books on the go, then the 3G version is for you.

If you are going to restrict your book buying to your Wi-Fi enabled home, or whenever you hit a hotspot, then this is the one you want.

The size of the device itself has been significantly reduced, but without any reduction to the reading area. This stays at a decent six inches.

The new slim look definitely suits the Kindle. It now feels like the paperback version, rather than a bulky hardback.

Weight-wise, it is a full 15 per cent lighter, making this one of the most comfortable ebook readers we have held. At 247g, there is absolutely no strain on the arm – it's even lighter than most paperbacks.

And it you choose Wi-Fi only, then the weight is snipped to a stupidly lean 241g.
