Amazon Kindle … Aasim Naseem, September 16, 2010March 27, 2024 The Kindle is an electronic device for downloading, storing, and reading electronic books, known as e-books. It was developed by a company called Lab 126 which is a subsidiary of Amazon. The Kindle has instant wireless access to Amazon.com and their huge number of e-books (over 115,000 and growing). You can read newspapers, subscribe to magazines and blogs, and even play audio files such as MP3s or audiobooks. The Kindle is compact and lightweight so it is easy to handle. Just think of it as a conveniently portable television for your books.The Kindle uses a grey screen to display a page of text. To turn the page, you just press a button to go forward or backwards. It can download compatible files over Amazon’s Whispernet directly to the Kindle by using the same network as Sprint EVDO. You don’t even need a computer to download and then transfer files like you do some MP3 players and other electronics. It also includes a web browser but you are limited to only Amazon or Wikipedia. You can add and read e-books from other sites, too, as long as they are compatible. So you can download stuff fromMobipocket or even in plain text. Amazon offers an email service that can convert files from HTML, jpeg, bmp, PDF, and others into the Kindle format. There is enough internal memory in the Kindle to be able to store around 200 e-books but you can get an SD memory card if you want to add more memory.Although the wireless service is free, you have to buy the e-books in order to download them. For instance, a book on the latest New York Times bestsellers list can be purchased for $10. Other titles will cost you around $1.99, which is significantly cheaper than a printed book, even in paperback. Books that are public domain can be downloaded for free.The Newest Kindle DX hasAll New, High Contrast E-Ink Screen: graphite Kindle DX uses our all-new, improved electronic ink display, with 50% better contrast for the clearest text and sharpest imagesBeautiful Large Display: The 9.7″ diagonal E-ink screen is ideal for a broad range of reading material, including graphic-rich books, PDFs, newspapers, magazines, and blogsRead in Sunlight with No Glare: Unlike backlit computers or LCD screens, Kindle DX’s display looks and reads like real paper, with no glare.

The Kindle DX comes with a 9-inch E Ink screen instead of the 6-inch normal Kindle screenOn July 1, 2010, Amazon released a new revision of the Kindle DX (3rd Generation Kindle DX). As well as dropping the price from $489 to $379, the new Kindle DX has an e-ink screen with a 50% better contrast ratio and comes only in a “graphite” color. It is speculated the colour change is to improve contrast ratio perception even further, as some users found the previous white casing highlighted the fact that the e-ink background is gray and not white.
