Amazon’s Kindle lineup is all about improvements one after another and the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G does not disappoint. It is one of the best eBook readers in the market today. Not only does it can hang against the best in the marketplace but also against other versions of the kindle too. One of the first things you will notice about the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G is its design. Simplicity has been a theme for the Kindle family and the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G is no different. Its gray color is easy to the eyes as it is lighter in shade compared to other devices. This helps you stay focused on reading on the screen. The Amazon Kindle Touch 3G has a rectangular shape and has dimensions at 6.8 x 4.7 x 0.4 inches. It may be rectangular in shape but holding it is easy and comfortably on one or both hands even for a long period of time. The Amazon Kindle Touch 3G weights in at 8.5 ounces, so it is also very light to carry around. The Amazon Kindle Touch 3G is also a different device in a different level as it has an IR based touch interface. This makes using touching the device intuitive and responsive. It has a simple system to make flipping pages and other operations as smooth and responsive to the touch. The Amazon Kindle Touch 3G uses E-ink technology which is much suited for eBooks devices. The screen is at 6 inches and that it has a pixel resolution of 800 x 600 at 167 ppi. Depending on the type of ebook, the colors may come out great especially for illustrations or designs or not. Page flickering on the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G is at the minimal. As the name implies, the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G offers 3G connectivity alongside Wi-Fi access. Both features work well. However, the Wi-Fi drains the power on your Amazon Kindle Touch 3G much lesser than when you are using 3G. The 3G function is also slow making you download eBooks anywhere you are a bit of a letdown. There is a micro USB slot in the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G and two speakers. It’s not that loud to use it on speaker mode but it has a headphone jack. This is useful when using the Text to Speech function, audio books or mp3 files. The Kindle Touch 3G also has an on screen keyboard that is nicely spaced and is responsive and accurate. The Amazon Kindle Touch 3G has a 4GB which can hold up to 3,000 eBooks. You can also read magazine in the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G and that this device also supports PDF, PRC eBook and Mobi eBook formats. This means that your eBook selection is not limited to those sold by Amazon but also to other sources. However, the Amazon Kindle Touch 3G doesn't have any slot for external memory so that means you are stick with what you have. The Amazon Kindle Touch 3G has a web browser that is a hit and miss and that it is also compatible with some games that are simple and quick to play. The web browser will just feature stripped down versions of web pages and that the photos in the websites look pixelized. The Amazon Kindle Touch 3G is one of the best eBook readers to have as it is light, convenient and easy to use.
