Sparkling New Kindle - The Next Best Thing to Paper When it Comes to Reading

It is indeed true; reading a book on a screen is painful. Especially, when it’s so engrossing, that you can’t keep the book down. And when it comes to continue reading way past your bedtime, well you can take a book to bed but not a screen.

The people at Amazon like to think otherwise. As they have launched a new successor to their e-book reader, the most popular – Kindle. This new version is 20 per cent faster than its predecessor while it also boasts twice the storage.

It is light, small and can be tossed into your bag or pocket easily.

(Haven’t given a try to e-book readers? Then you should definitely try this baby. You’ll never go back to reading paper. It throws no glare back at your eyes even under the brightest sun. It also mimics paper like texture and page turning feel.)

Apart from the physical appearances and ease of usability, this small wonder packs lots of new and impressive features:

Whispersync: It saves your last page read and synchronizes with Kindle app, so that you can start exactly from the point where you stopped. More like a bookmark, but the one that appears across all your multiple devices and Kindle apps.

Kindle FreeTime: Call it your kids’ personal motivator for improving their reading skills. It provides a set of select must-read books for your kids to read, and also reward them with achievement badges once they reach reading milestones. If you are a parent then this will definitely help you keep a track on total time spent reading, number of words looked up, badges earned and books read.

Vocab builder: It automatically stores words looked up in the dictionary to expand your knowledge and reinforce retention.

No set up required: Start right-out-of-the-box reading.

Smart Lookup: Integrates a full dictionary definition with references linked to X-Ray and Wikipedia.

 
Improved battery-life: Enjoy reading for weeks without touching your charger.

Auto backup: Cloud backups your Kindle books.

ETR (Estimated Time to Read): The device has become smarter and will be able to tell you how much time you will take to finish the book or a chapter based on your reading speed.
