E Ink 101: Compare Kindle's Screen to Traditional LCDs |
||||
How Electronic Ink WorksElectronic ink screens work using ink, just like books and newspapers, but display the ink particles electronically. People who see the display for the first time do a double take because the screen looks like real paper. No Eye Strain--Reads Like Real Paper, Not a Computer ScreenKindle's electronic ink display is ideal for reading because it does not create the same eyestrain as reading on traditional backlit LCD tablets or laptops. Clearer Text and the Sharpest DisplayElectronic ink uses actual ink to create crisp, print-like text similar to what you see in a physical book. Kindle's proprietary, hand-built fonts take advantage of the special characteristics of the ink to make letters clear and sharp. |
 Fonts on Kindle's ink-based display looks smoother and more natural than an LCD display.
What Customers Say About Kindle's Electronic Ink Display"My first impression of Kindle's screen was: 'That's a screen?! It doesn't look like a screen.'... It looks like a book page, only perfect. No grain or pulp."—Jeremy "I love how the screen really looks like a page, because I do work at a computer all day, and the last thing I want to look at is another screen."—Amy P "I found the contrast to be soothing and I was able to read in direct sunlight with no glare."—M.

Kindle 3G (Free 3G + Wi-Fi) is the easiest option because there is no wireless setup—you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box. Built-in Free 3G connectivity uses the same wireless signals that cell phones use, but there are no monthly fees or commitments—Amazon pays for Kindle’s 3G wireless connectivity. The added convenience of 3G enables you to download books anytime, anywhere on the go—without having to find a Wi-Fi hotspot connection. With wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, Kindle 3G is a great option for travelers.
