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.

Novatel Wireless’ MiFi intelligent personal hotspot was one of our top 5 gadgets from ShowStoppers back in April, and had floored us a few months earlier in Barcelona. Having released their CDMA EVDO Rev.A MiFi 2200 on Verizon and Sprint to very positive reaction, the company is now launching its GSM 3G HSPA model, the MiFi 2352 . As well as the ability to share a single mobile broadband connection among up to five WiFi users, the MiFi 2352 brings a few new tricks to the table; chec

Internet retail giants Amazon.com has unveiled Kindle, a $400 eBook reader — smaller, “lighter and thinner” than a paperback — that allows magazines, books and newspapers to be downloaded via its built-in wireless internet connection and be read on special “electronic paper”.

The revolutionary electronic paper display provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper. The screen works “using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically,” according to Amazon.

“Because it reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlight, it eliminates the eye strain and glare associated with other electronic displays such as computer monitors.”

But better than WiFi, Kindle utilizes the same high-speed data network (EVDO) as advanced cell phones‚Äîso you never have to locate a hotspot. So you can even surf in Singapore’s unstable WiFi environment! ;p Kindle’s wireless system means you can shop for reading material at the Kindle Store directly from your Kindle ‚Äî no matter where you are.

Just think: no need for a stack of magazines in the Men’s room. Just get a Kindle and download your toilet reading from over 90,000 publications!

But hold your horses: Kindle is not yet available in Singapore. And goodness knows when it will be launched here. But rest assured Techpresso will be there to review it once it’s near our shores.

Meanwhile, don’t unsubscribe from your favourite (toilet) magazine just yet!
