Reads Like Real Paper, Even in Bright Sunlight
E Ink screens look and read just like real paper. Kindle e-readers' matte screens reflect light like ordinary paper and use no backlighting, so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room. Unlike LCD screens, E Ink screens have no glare.
Easy on the Eyes
E Ink uses actual ink particles to create crisp, print-like text similar to what you see in a physical book. And Kindle e-readers also use proprietary, hand-built fonts to take advantage of the special characteristics of the ink to make letters appear clear and sharp.
• Less eye fatigue: Every time your eye switches from a bright screen to a dimmer, ambient room, your eyes have to adjust, which may result in fatigue. With E Ink, the page is the same brightness as everything else in the room so there's no adjustment needed.
• Reduced glare: All E Ink surfaces are treated to be matte like a printed page, reducing glare and increasing legibility.
• Read in any position: E Ink screens have a uniform contrast ratio that does not change with your viewing angle, so you can read in any position.
• Sharp, clear text: E Ink screens have 100% aperture ratio, so there are no gaps between pixels. The blacks and whites on an E Ink screen are uniform, improving image quality.
Read with One Hand
Ranging from 5.98 ounces to 8.7 ounces, Kindle e-readers are lighter than most paperback books, and weigh half as much as many LCD tablet devices, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand for extended periods of time.
Longer Battery Life

If you're purchasing a
device primarily for reading, an important consideration is the screen
technology. Unlike devices with LCD screens, Kindle e-readers use the
latest generation of Electronic Ink ("E Ink") technology – E Ink Pearl –
designed specifically to deliver clearer, sharper text that makes
reading for extended periods of time more comfortable. Here are some of
the advantages to reading on an E Ink device:

Longer Battery Life
Electronic ink screens also have the advantage of significantly lower
power consumption than LCD screens. E Ink screens do not require power
to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for up to a month or
two on a single charge versus hours on a tablet or smart phone.
Kindle (Wi-Fi) is a great
choice if you already have a high-speed internet connection and wireless
router set up in your home and do not need the added convenience of a
3G connection. 3G enables you to download books anytime, anywhere, while
on the go. If you do not have Wi-Fi set up in your home, Kindle 3G may
be a better option.
Kindle 3G (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) is
the easiest option because there is no wireless setup—you are ready to
shop, purchase, and read right out of the box. Built-in Free 3G
connectivity uses the same wireless signals that cell phones use, but
there are no monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for Kindle’s 3G
wireless connectivity. The added convenience of 3G enables you to
download books anytime, anywhere, while on the go—without having to find
a Wi-Fi hotspot connection. With wireless coverage in over 100
countries and territories, Kindle 3G is a great option for travelers. Check 3G coverage area
