Thin and light for one-handed reading
New-The all-new Kindle is 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the previous
generation Kindle, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand.
No glare in bright sunlight
Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the high contrast touchscreen
display eliminates glare in any setting-even direct sunlight.
No eye strain, reads like real paper
Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create
crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book. The blacks and whites on
the screen are uniform, improving text and image quality.
Battery lasts weeks, not hours
Kindle doesn't need power to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for
weeks on a single charge.
Unlike tablets, no blue light to disturb your sleep
Recent studies have shown that evening exposure to blue light from backlit
screens like tablets and smartphones can suppress the body's production of
melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that helps the body fall asleep.
Because the Kindle display emits no light, you can read anytime without
losing sleep.
