By the numbers alone, it doesn’t seem that much is shaved off: The new model measures a stout 7.5 by 4.8 by 0.34 inches, versus the 8 by 5.3 by 0.36 inches of the Kindle 2. The newest Kindle’s streamlined design enabled Kindle to shrink by 21 percent, per Amazon. Another benefit of the Pearl display: Faster screen refresh rates, which provides a significantly improved user experience (more on that later). In use, the difference in the screen contrast is striking: As on the Kindle DX (Graphite), blacks look more solid, and text looked smoother. However, the display itself has been enhanced, too: Like the Kindle DX (Graphite), the Kindle now has a 6-inch E-Ink Pearl display, one of whose benefits is 50 percent better contrast. That was indeed still my impression with the Kindle. In my experience with e-readers, a darker border enhances readability, giving the perception of better screen contrast. That said, it’s worth noting that this is the first smaller-sized Kindle in two colors: eye-pleasing graphite (the same as the Kindle DX launched earlier this summer) and standard Kindle white.

(Editors’ note, December 7, 2011: In the fall, Amazon re-branded this third-generation Kindle as Kindle Keyboard, and continues to offer, in graphite only, the following versions–Kindle Keyboard Wi-Fi with no ads for $139, Kindle Keyboard 3G with Special Offers for $139, and Kindle Keyboard 3G with no ads for $189. The third-generation Kindle comes in two versions: The Kindle Wi-Fi costs $139, while the Kindle (as Amazon calls it) has both Wi-Fi and 3G and costs $189, the same as what the 3G-only Kindle 2 cost previously. And while there’s still room for improvement, this Kindle is the first I feel comfortable recommending to friends.

With the Amazon Kindle (third-generation), Amazon addresses many of the transgressions of earlier Kindle iterations, such as relatively heavy weight, slow page turns, and finger-unfriendly button designs.Īfter using a shipping version of the Kindle–due out later this week–I found much to like. Amazon has finally arrived at an e-reader product that not only slays its current competition, but also feels ready to meet the mainstream masses.
