@mehdianim That's because Amazon doesn't give model numbers. This is just the Kindle, like every Kindle before. It's the 3rd gen so reviewers/sellers are calling it the Kindle 3.
Kindles are great, and like a GPS you'll never know what you did before you had one! Just be sure to get a skin or cover! You'll be surprised how much you'll use it outdoors! great covers here : amazonkindlecovers.blogspot.com
@Carol88SpB if your ebook has page numbers or not depends on the book and if the publishers allowed/added page numbers. the kindle itself has the possibility, yes, but it's not always the case :)
i have built a wishlist on Amazon over time... now that i have some money saved up i will go with the kindle and buy those books after..thank you amazon
can you buy any book in the world for the kindle? e.g can you buy children's books and also do the books stay on your kindle for ever? like do they go in like a month? can someone please answer my question?
@BotzRus the books stay on unless u delete them, u can get childrens books and u can get all the books that are on the amazon store just slightly cheaper they call that 'kindle price' does that answer ur question?

@extremeboy73 You can get LOTS of free books for Kindle. Many authors promote their work by having it free for a limited time (it helps them rank as top sellers, so it's better than paying for advertising) You can also put PDF books on your Kindle :)
@BookLending I found that Amazon free book scheme applies only within the USA region. Else, you have to pay a cost. There are very few choices for kindle users staying outside the USA. However, I have downloaded lots of books for my new Kindle. Thanks to various third party websites. Love them!!
I did a lot of research and watched alot of reviews before buying an e-reader. But did you know that you can not use the Kindle to access FREE books from your local library using Overdrive. We all pay taxes that allow us to borrow free books from our local library and that does include new and latest bestsellers. Check out Overdrive website for a list of devices that allow you to borrow e-books from your library. Check with your local library and see if they offer e-books, some might not.
is the 3g one free for 3g? or you have to get a sim card? and can you use it to watch videoes on youtube? downlod movies to it? and what is the size of memory? thank you very much :)
Do you get to keep the books you buy from Amazon for life for the kindle? or do they get erase like in a year or so?. Like to know before i buy it Ty..
I had a Kindle for Xmas ( love to bits). I downloaded loads of free books. I'm a bit of a Churchill nut and a mate of mine recommended a book called What Churchill Would Do, I have avoided buying books so far (no point with so much free stuff) but it was dirt cheap so I thought I would give it a go. It was a really great book, loads of war stuff and some interesting and different business advice. Not the usual drivel you get . Worth checking out when you get a chance.
@hakeris4 I saw this on 10 Features in the Kindle 3 You Didn't Know About "Free PDF document delivery – To email a PDF to your Kindle, but avoid any kind of 3G delivery fees, tack @ free.kindle.com onto your email address. The file will only be downloaded over Wi-Fi."
@TehZombieChef Well no. Besides the 3G model being $189 (as appose to the wifi only model being around $130) books are the same cost on both models. It wouldn't make sense if one model's stuff was more expensive, either, since both models use the same kindle store.
@xBchify Not really. Its the same as a book. Its not the device that make you have Emotion its the words that do that (or brings emotion like you word it). I agree with you an e-reader Will never compare to a real nice book and till this day i still Want to own my own library the e-reader (I have the kindle) its just for ppl like me who really cant go out to a bookstore and buy books. With the Kindle you just have to get the book and read it. I enjoy reading so thats a pretty nice deal
@xBchify It's the words and the readers imagination that "brings emotions" not the paper it's printed on. I still have a vinyl record collection ( yes I'm that old), but you can't beat the convienience of an mp3 player.
My 2 cents: I have the nook and I checkout ebooks for free from the library all the time. I rarely have paid for an ebook and I have read many of the new releases (some usually on a waiting list, but nonetheless free reading). I believe the kindle does not support the library ebook formats. So if you want free reading, get a NOOK. It will save you lots of money in the long run, which makes it more fun.
Anyone know how to delete a book from the new device. Having problems. When you hit the right button it says " add to home", with the right button, nothing at all. Got mine today and they actually gave me the white when I wanted the graphite. Oh well.
@uwmbigb Yes, I think you are better off with the first gen nook. The new version is more like an ipad. I just don't know if that would be easy on the eyes.
@texasinstrument82 Agreed, if i want web browsing and games distraction ill get an ipad, i use the nook purely for dedicated reading Idk about anyone else but simply that tis in black and white prevents me from using it for other things and I like that I stay focused on reading.
Place an order yesterday. While I liked the Kindle 2 I always thought the resolution was lacking and this one is much improved. Like the battery life and faster speed! From what I am reading this is well worth it. I agree, people should not compare to IPad because they are totally different in functions and abilities. With a Macbook (with 3g and Wi-fi) I personally have no need for an IPad even though I think they're cool machines.
i love this. cant wait. i love reading n that is my only when it comes to the kindle. i already have an ipod touch so am not compell to buy the ipad. n i heard it only cost 140 bucks. if that doesnt convince people to buy i dont know what will.
I ordered my kindle last week and can't wait for it to get here. I have been browsing the free classics that are available and I'm truly glad that I am going to have access to such fine literature for free.
I don't understand how can people compare this device to the iPad - personally I can't even imagine reading books on LCD display. Besides, it must be really distracting, knowing that you can do so many things on it, like browsing the internet or using apps and stuff, that all those things are under that book you're reading. When I read, I want to focus on reading and nothing else :).
It looks very good. The best looking kindle yet. I've ordered one.
The ipad is a nice enough device, even though my iphone does everything the ipad can do and more. I need something which is a good ereading device. Despite the fact that the ipad has many whistles and bells, it is not suitable for me.
It's too big to be portable or even to read comfortable for long stretches at home.
The backlit display does not make it comfortable to read for long periods of time
@WeEatBrainz And pay at least twice as much, and not be able to read outside as well, and have your arms get tired from the weight, and have to charge more often, and have to pay a monthly bill for 3g access.
@andStack And store many many more books, watch movies and listen to music, typically i read on my lap and its still extremely light so u must have weak arms and the wifi version is fine for most. 3g requrires a fee because the amounts of data u can use
download songs movies apps
endless possibilities vs a reader with a shitty browser
and about battery life... Typically people plug in when they go to sleep
well the ipad lasts 10 hours of video and many more for read all day.
@WeEatBrainz I don't have weak arms but if you read for a couple hours you will feel it. If wi-fi is just fine then you can pay $139 for a Kindle. The cheapest iPad is $500. Sure you can pay hundreds more dollars for your "endless possibilities" but I actually can do all of that stuff already without an iPad so I don't see why I'd pay $500 or more for it. However, $139-$189 for a light ereader that has all my books and is super portable and holds tons of books is worth it.
@andStack I dont feel it and typically i read laying down.
Holding something as thin as a magazine that can do everything (including magazines) is something i would prefer over a specialized device that only has one use. Especially if it costs over 100 bucks for merely one of the many many many functions of a far better product
Why would I buy iPad? I already have a laptop, a convertible one might I add. What's the point of getting iPad?
Kindle does one thing, but does it far better than iPad does. In the end, reading on Ipad is no different from reading on a laptop or monitor screen. I can live with that, but it fails to recreate the feeling of reading a printed book, while Kindle does recreate it perfectly. This is device for book lovers.
@WeEatBrainz Yes, butif you want to read, then the iPad is not the device to get. If you want a million other features, then sure, get an iPad. But as an e-reader, the iPad is worthless.
This is such a great thing....My blackberry storm with it's top rate e-reader is still all I need, though. I'm not saying I wouldn't want to have one of these. With the one month battery life and 30,0000 books stored feature along with it being under $200 I may be buying me one of these sometime soon.
I'm a little pissed at the timing of this release. My family bought me a Kindle 2 back when they were quite expensive, to give to me for my birthday. Then the price of those went down. And then mere weeks after my birthday, the 3 comes out. And you can get it in granite colour!
I plan on buying one as soon as they are back in stock. This will be great for college textbooks and formula sheets in PDF form. I wish there was a cheap ereader with stylus input as well though.
@theylied1776 I will tell you the reason. all around the ipad is a better product for multiple purposes; however, the Kindle or other e-reader has an e-link technology that allow to read book or magazines for a longer period of time without getting the eyes tired. Also try to read outside using your Ipad, difficult right? A heavy reader will pick a Kindle over the Ipad in a heart bit! you are wrong with your simile. It is like comparing notebooks with Ipads. some similar uses but no the same
@cesaramoga No, I was correct with my simile. I established generational progression; example ,Walkman to Ipod,Typewriter to Computer,or Newspaper to Radio to TV to Internet. By the way, a heavy reader would pick a real book in a heart beat over any alternative.
@theylied1776 A heavy reader will pick the e reader because the books online are cheaper, and very useful to download or get the book anytime, anywhere. Some people would select a physical book due to the smell or nostalgia. Your simile or analogy is still wrong. It would be paper book to e-reader or Ipad. no E-reader to Ipad. Summarizing a heavy reader will pick a REAL book or E-READER over an Ipad so...
@cesaramoga My simile is correct, the context is technology displacing technology.
first came the telegraph which was directly displaced or replaced by the telephone,the kindle was released 2 years ago and the Ipad last november.
I'm going by units sold and market share,it's only a mater of time before the kindle will go the way of the telegraph( obsolete )! If you like it,great! their are people that love typewriters but it can't come close to a multipurpose computer.
@theylied1776 I understand your opinion better my friend. It makes more sense to me now. I still think the kindle or nook will cohabit with the Ipad for a while. Time will tell the true. have a nice day (actually, I love Apple products)
@cesaramoga Thank you, your right, heavy readers will use the kindle because they don't need all the bells and whistles but there is a rumor the next gen might have a droid make over to compete with the Ipad?
I have been a Kindle 1 owner for 3 years. I didn't shell out the money for Kindle 2/DX because of several gripes that I didn't believe were truly fixed. After ages of waiting its finally nice to see Amazon tackling the major ones for real this time (price point, better contrast, less obtrusive/noisy buttons, backed up books, wi-fi access, longer battery life, etc.). I may just take the plunge and get this new Kindle.
This is an e-reader. Nothing more. I really wish people would stop comparing it to the iPad. There's really no comparison to be had. They're completely different products for completely different purposes.
@jonwatson87 This is an e-reader. Nothing more. I really wish people would stop comparing it to the iPad. There's really no comparison to be had. They're completely different products for completely different purposes.
This is an e-reader. Nothing more. I really wish people would stop comparing it to the iPad. There's no real comparison to be had. They're completely different products for completely different purposes.
@jonwatson87 The reason they compare them is because they both do ebooks. The Kindle was pretty similarly priced (now waay cheaper). So for an extra $100 or so, why not get everything else the iPad does too? I believe the Kindle DX is still similarly priced to the iPad, and it's similar in size too. That's why they compare them. Kindle does books, and only books. Whereas iPad does books, movies, music, web, games, etc. There is a comparison to be had, they both do books, and were similarly price
Looks cool! I may actually get one this time around.
I have an iPhone already, so I'm used to poor battery life from multi-function devices. The one month battery life of the latest kindle is extremely appealing.
I'm an avid reader and always like a wide selection of reading material to choose from, depending on mood or interest etc.
Instead of taking two or three paperbacks with me everywhere (more if I'm on holiday) I can take an entire library!
well I have an original sony ereader- I do quite like it becaue i use trains etc and i don't want to weigh by bag down with books. (plus im a student so would carry alot of books) however I think the prices of ebooks compared to paper books is rediculous which i think is a massive downside to ad ereader.
Wow. I'm someone who is attuned to hearing electronics lasting only a couple hours; for example, laptops and cell phones. But hearing that this thing can last one month with wifi off was epic for me, haha. I would totally consider purchasing this, especially because of the low price tag and how useful it could prove to me as a college student.
@average220 You're right. If I was a geek like you I could have actually wasted my time looking up how many pages of paper a pine tree makes in order to make some stupid point against someone who was simply guessing. Too bad nobody gives a shit. Me:1 You: 0. Blow me. ;)
@salame462 lol if you go on vacation and only bring one book to read you're stuck with that book instead of having the freedom to change your mind. Not to mention e-books are cheaper than paper books. And you show your immatureness with your name calling.
funny that a year and a half ago the kindle 2 came out for 350usd and now you can get a K3 with wifi, 3g, better battery life, more storage for almost half the price. Early adopters got screwed.
If the iPad had free 3G data plan (even capped at 20 Gb) it would probably kill the Kindle's market.
That said I pre-ordered the new graphite. It's light enough to read in bed one handed (something the iPad can not do) and will be a step up from my Kobo.
You have to be kidding me. For the price of the iPad I could build myself a nice computer!
The kindle costs a fraction of the iPad not to mention its more portable (as e-readers should be) the battery life is like 4 days and it amazon have a much bigger library than apple.
@darkstar3x16 But you can get all of Amazons library on the iPad anyway with the Kindle app plus the iPad offers benefits that laptops/desktops cant always fulfil Oh and by the way its the Kindle DX that should be compared to the iPad not the standard one..
sure it has an experimental webkit browser now. It had a browser even before. You can use it to read some blogs and news sites, check wikipedia, and even your mail (it's a bit slow but gets the job done).

Anyone know how to delete a book from the new device. Having problems. When you hit the right button it says " add to home", with the right button, nothing at all. Got mine today and they actually gave me the white when I wanted the graphite. Oh well.

@uwmbigb Yes, I think you are better off with the first gen nook. The new version is more like an ipad. I just don't know if that would be easy on the eyes.
texasinstrument82 1 year ago
@texasinstrument82 Agreed, if i want web browsing and games distraction ill get an ipad, i use the nook purely for dedicated reading Idk about anyone else but simply that tis in black and white prevents me from using it for other things and I like that I stay focused on reading.

Place an order yesterday. While I liked the Kindle 2 I always thought the resolution was lacking and this one is much improved. Like the battery life and faster speed! From what I am reading this is well worth it. I agree, people should not compare to IPad because they are totally different in functions and abilities. With a Macbook (with 3g and Wi-fi) I personally have no need for an IPad even though I think they're cool machines.

i love this. cant wait. i love reading n that is my only when it comes to the kindle. i already have an ipod touch so am not compell to buy the ipad. n i heard it only cost 140 bucks. if that doesnt convince people to buy i dont know what will.

I don't understand how can people compare this device to the iPad - personally I can't even imagine reading books on LCD display. Besides, it must be really distracting, knowing that you can do so many things on it, like browsing the internet or using apps and stuff, that all those things are under that book you're reading. When I read, I want to focus on reading and nothing else :).

It looks very good. The best looking kindle yet. I've ordered one.
The ipad is a nice enough device, even though my iphone does everything the ipad can do and more. I need something which is a good ereading device. Despite the fact that the ipad has many whistles and bells, it is not suitable for me.
It's too big to be portable or even to read comfortable for long stretches at home.
The backlit display does not make it comfortable to read for long periods of time

@WeEatBrainz And pay at least twice as much, and not be able to read outside as well, and have your arms get tired from the weight, and have to charge more often, and have to pay a monthly bill for 3g access.
andStack 1 year ago
@andStack And store many many more books, watch movies and listen to music, typically i read on my lap and its still extremely light so u must have weak arms and the wifi version is fine for most. 3g requrires a fee because the amounts of data u can use
download songs movies apps
endless possibilities vs a reader with a shitty browser
and about battery life... Typically people plug in when they go to sleep
well the ipad lasts 10 hours of video and many more for read all day.
WeEatBrainz 1 year ago
@WeEatBrainz I don't have weak arms but if you read for a couple hours you will feel it. If wi-fi is just fine then you can pay $139 for a Kindle. The cheapest iPad is $500. Sure you can pay hundreds more dollars for your "endless possibilities" but I actually can do all of that stuff already without an iPad so I don't see why I'd pay $500 or more for it. However, $139-$189 for a light ereader that has all my books and is super portable and holds tons of books is worth it.
andStack 1 year ago 3
@andStack I dont feel it and typically i read laying down.
Holding something as thin as a magazine that can do everything (including magazines) is something i would prefer over a specialized device that only has one use. Especially if it costs over 100 bucks for merely one of the many many many functions of a far better product

@WeEatBrainz
Why would I buy iPad? I already have a laptop, a convertible one might I add. What's the point of getting iPad?
Kindle does one thing, but does it far better than iPad does. In the end, reading on Ipad is no different from reading on a laptop or monitor screen. I can live with that, but it fails to recreate the feeling of reading a printed book, while Kindle does recreate it perfectly. This is device for book lovers.
AdrianWerner 1 year ago 2
@WeEatBrainz Yes, butif you want to read, then the iPad is not the device to get. If you want a million other features, then sure, get an iPad. But as an e-reader, the iPad is worthless.

This is such a great thing....My blackberry storm with it's top rate e-reader is still all I need, though. I'm not saying I wouldn't want to have one of these. With the one month battery life and 30,0000 books stored feature along with it being under $200 I may be buying me one of these sometime soon.

I'm a little pissed at the timing of this release. My family bought me a Kindle 2 back when they were quite expensive, to give to me for my birthday. Then the price of those went down. And then mere weeks after my birthday, the 3 comes out. And you can get it in granite colour!

Why would any one buy this, the ipad blows this thing out of the water. This is like trying to decide between a telegraph and a telephone.
theylied1776 1 year ago
@theylied1776 I will tell you the reason. all around the ipad is a better product for multiple purposes; however, the Kindle or other e-reader has an e-link technology that allow to read book or magazines for a longer period of time without getting the eyes tired. Also try to read outside using your Ipad, difficult right? A heavy reader will pick a Kindle over the Ipad in a heart bit! you are wrong with your simile. It is like comparing notebooks with Ipads. some similar uses but no the same
cesaramoga 1 year ago
@cesaramoga No, I was correct with my simile. I established generational progression; example ,Walkman to Ipod,Typewriter to Computer,or Newspaper to Radio to TV to Internet. By the way, a heavy reader would pick a real book in a heart beat over any alternative.
theylied1776 1 year ago
@theylied1776 A heavy reader will pick the e reader because the books online are cheaper, and very useful to download or get the book anytime, anywhere. Some people would select a physical book due to the smell or nostalgia. Your simile or analogy is still wrong. It would be paper book to e-reader or Ipad. no E-reader to Ipad. Summarizing a heavy reader will pick a REAL book or E-READER over an Ipad so...
cesaramoga 1 year ago
@cesaramoga My simile is correct, the context is technology displacing technology.
first came the telegraph which was directly displaced or replaced by the telephone,the kindle was released 2 years ago and the Ipad last november.
I'm going by units sold and market share,it's only a mater of time before the kindle will go the way of the telegraph( obsolete )! If you like it,great! their are people that love typewriters but it can't come close to a multipurpose computer.
theylied1776 1 year ago
@theylied1776 I understand your opinion better my friend. It makes more sense to me now. I still think the kindle or nook will cohabit with the Ipad for a while. Time will tell the true. have a nice day (actually, I love Apple products)
cesaramoga 1 year ago
@cesaramoga Thank you, your right, heavy readers will use the kindle because they don't need all the bells and whistles but there is a rumor the next gen might have a droid make over to compete with the Ipad?

I have been a Kindle 1 owner for 3 years. I didn't shell out the money for Kindle 2/DX because of several gripes that I didn't believe were truly fixed. After ages of waiting its finally nice to see Amazon tackling the major ones for real this time (price point, better contrast, less obtrusive/noisy buttons, backed up books, wi-fi access, longer battery life, etc.). I may just take the plunge and get this new Kindle.

liza2000us2001 1 year ago
@jonwatson87 The reason they compare them is because they both do ebooks. The Kindle was pretty similarly priced (now waay cheaper). So for an extra $100 or so, why not get everything else the iPad does too? I believe the Kindle DX is still similarly priced to the iPad, and it's similar in size too. That's why they compare them. Kindle does books, and only books. Whereas iPad does books, movies, music, web, games, etc. There is a comparison to be had, they both do books, and were similarly price

Looks cool! I may actually get one this time around.
I have an iPhone already, so I'm used to poor battery life from multi-function devices. The one month battery life of the latest kindle is extremely appealing.
I'm an avid reader and always like a wide selection of reading material to choose from, depending on mood or interest etc.
Instead of taking two or three paperbacks with me everywhere (more if I'm on holiday) I can take an entire library!

If the iPad had free 3G data plan (even capped at 20 Gb) it would probably kill the Kindle's market.
That said I pre-ordered the new graphite. It's light enough to read in bed one handed (something the iPad can not do) and will be a step up from my Kobo.
