When you search on the internet today you can find lots of different articles about the Amazon Kindle electronic book reader. Now that I have my own, I have decided to write a personal Kindle 3 review. Everything that you read here is from my own direct experience with this hand held reading device.
Before I purchased my Kindle, I spent quite a lot of time researching the capabilities and functionality of this device. A really good place to get good information is on the Amazon website. When you look at the Kindle store section, there are loads of details about the technical specifications of this gadget. I was plesantly surprised to see that it was not like a sales pitch. Instead, they just talk about what the Kindle can actually do. Then I made up my own mind that, with the release of the latest generation model in the summer of 2010, the time was right to get one.
In fact, Amazon could easily sell their Kindle more. There are some amazing features that I did not discover until I actually started looking more closely at this machine.
The first is that the screen uses electronic ink technology. This was really hard to imagine before my Kindle arrived in the post. But it is different from regular computer screens. It sounds strange, but it is like electronic paper. You have to read your Kindle with an external source of light. You cannot read it in the dark like you can a computer. The massive benefit of this is that it does not strain my eyes at all. This is a big plus point.
Secondly, the thing that I love about the Kindle reading system is the massive library of free books. This was the thing that made me view my purchase as a way to actually save money. This may seem strange, however I have only purchased one book since August. Everything else has been downloaded for free. There are so many classic titles that I am longing to read.
I wonder what technological advancements Amazon will include when the Kindle 4 is released?
