As the Kindle was first released in 2007 by Amazon, each new model that came after the initial release has considerably improved, not only with the appearance but with newer, more advanced features as well. When the Kindle 2 was introduced two years after the release of the first Kindle, people are already itching to get the Kindle best price available in the market. In 2010, Amazon made available the third generation Kindle to the public. In spite the fact that it has only been a year since the Kindle 2 was first released, there are several notable differences between the new Kindle and its predecessor.
Appearance-wise, the Kindle 2 is slightly larger and heavier than the third generation Kindle. Some of the changes in the dimensions are quite evident, while others are less obvious. Take for instance the length and width measurements of both devices. The Kindle 2 measures at 8 x 5.3 inches, while the newer version is just around 7.5 x 4.8 inches; a lot closer to the size of an actual paperback pocketbook.
When it comes to the thickness of both devices, the Kindle 3 is a bit slimmer at only 0.335 inches thick, compared to the Kindle 2's 0.36 inches. Weight-wise, the new Kindle is a few ounces lighter, weighting in at 8.5 ounces; whereas the previous model weighs in at around 10.2 ounces. However, although the Kindle 2 is quite larger than the most recent model, they both have exactly the same screen display sizes, which measures at 6 inches.
Although the screen display sizes of the two Kindle are the same, the performance and screen contrast are actually quite different. Both models have a high resolution screen display boasting the E ink, or Electronic Ink, technology. This feature makes it possible to use the device outdoors, even with the sun's glare. However, according to Amazon.com, the third generation Kindle actually has better contrast than the previous model. Fifty percent better, to be exact. This is because of the more enhanced "E Ink Pearl Display Technology" that is incorporated with the device, resulting in crystal clear texts and images.
For those of you who own a huge collection of eBooks, the new Kindle has essentially doubled the storage capacity of the Kindle 2, which only had around two gigabytes of internal memory. The third generation Kindle can store up to 3,500 books, while the Kindle 2 can only hold about 1,500. This fact alone gets people lining up to get the Kindle best price available in the market. Individuals who owned the previous model are thinking of getting the new Kindle as well.
Finally, the experimental features that come with the Kindle 2, such as the built-in MP3 player, a standard web browser, PDF document conversion, and the text-to-speech feature, are available in the Kindle 3 as well. This comes with the exception of an enhanced PDF document conversion and a new and improved Web-kit based browser, which is much faster than that of the Kindle2. The new Kindle will surely give its rivals a run for their money.
