Paper-like Screen |
| Utilizing a new high-resolution display technology
called electronic paper, Kindle provides a crisp
black-and-white screen that resembles the appearance and
readability of printed paper. The screen works using
ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the
ink particles electronically. It reflects light like
ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, eliminating the
glare associated with other electronic displays. As a
result, Kindle can be read as easily in bright sunlight
as in your living room. The screen never gets hot so you
can comfortably read as long as you like. |

Wireless Access with Whispernet™ |
| Whispernet utilizes Amazon's optimized technology
plus Sprint's national high-speed (EVDO) data network to
enable you to wirelessly search, discover, download, and
read content on the go. Unlike WiFi, you don't have to
find a hotspot. |

typical paperbacks, and fits easily in one hand. Its
built-in memory stores hundreds of titles. An optional
SD memory card lets you hold even more. From Melville to

Long Battery Life |
| Leave wireless on and recharge approximately every
other day. Turn wireless off and read for a week or more
before recharging. Battery life will vary based on
wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and
downloading content. In low coverage areas or in 1xRTT
only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power
more quickly. Kindle fully recharges in two hours.
