As the best selling product on Amazon.com for 2 years running the product has to be good and the Kindle really is, add to this the fact that it is the most wished for and most gifted item, it is kind of special.
Now a new Kindle is launched at the end of this month and according to Ammazon the all new Kindle is smaller, lighter, faster and with 50% better contrast than the one it replaces. With a weight less than 250 grams and a battery charge that apparently lasts for a month with wi-fi turned off and a capacity for upto 3,500 books you’re going ot have to be a serious reader to ‘run it out’ for sure.
And now Amazon.co.uk have confirmed that for the first time the NEW Kindle will be available in the UK and will launch on August 27. The new Kindle will be available as 3G or Wi-Fi and start at just £109 for the wi-fi version.
As with all ereaders the importance is what you can read on them, on the Kindle store you have a choice of over 400,000 books with over 1 million free book. As for UK bestsellers well 87 of 100 of the Nielsen bestsellers are available, so you really are spoilt for choice. I understand it will also offer digital versions of leading newspaper and magazines.
The new UK e-book store will run on Amazon.co.uk, and include 400,000 books including titles by a wide range of writers including Stephenie Meyer, John Grisham, Stephen King and Stieg Larsson – author of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – who yesterday became the first writer to sell 1m ebooks through Amazon. It will also offer digital versions of newspapers and magazines.
The new Kindle is going to be on my Christmas list for sure, will it be on yours?
