The ergonomically enhanced new Kindle 3 from Amazon, available in Graphite and White, gives a better reading experience. According to Kindle 3 review, it has typical Kindle applications like faster page turns, sharper changeable fonts, enhanced memory and PDF, better accessibility and a battery life up to one month. It also provides reading-centered features, social networking and free 3G access to the Kindle Store that stocks a wide variety of competitively priced reading materials. Kindle 3 also affords 60-second downloads and cross-platform book sharing. Kindle 3 reviews have proved to be positive.
On the other hand, unlike Kindle 2, it is easier to carry, read and use it in general. It features a bigger 6 e-Ink Pearl screen that provides a better contrast for readability. It even weighs lesser, resulting in a smaller, thinner, lighter device but with an enlarged memory of 4 GB allowing it to carry 3500 books at one time.

The battery can last up to a month without Wi-Fi. So you can leave your charger home if you are likely to get back within that time. Buttons have been placed on both sides of the screen more towards the edge for ease of use. They are labeled on the basis of direction unlike worded buttons of Kindle 2. A smaller joystick under the screen beside the Home and Menu buttons and other keys are placed within proximity.
The readability factor has been improved drastically. Font type is updated giving a choice between condensed, Serif and Sans Serif in small, medium or large sizes. It also supports non-English fonts such as Japanese, Chinese and Cyrillic. The built-in PDF reader allows one to add highlights, notes or look up meanings in the dictionary and can even access password-protected files.
Kindle 3 offers not only free 3G access in the US and over 100 countries; it even allows readers to access the web or store outside of the 3G area. The browser is now WebKit-based, and can be accessed either over 3G or Wi-Fi. All Kindle applications are supported by Android software.
Kindle 3 shows a softer side to people with low or impaired vision through 3G and Wi-Fi features that read items and menu loud. It comes with a US power adapter, USB 2.0 cable, rechargeable battery and a quick start guide.
