New Kindle EBook readers have made a great splash in the reading world, and a lot of people are excited about the all-new features. There are three brand new models, which not only have advanced features, but also are quite reasonably priced. There is actually a model for each and every budget category, starting from a basic model, going all the way up to a fully featured color model, which is more like a tablet. Each of three models have their own distinct advantages and a lot of people are a bit confused, as to which would be the best to buy. Here we shall look at the features of each of the latest Kindle versions, to help you take an informed decision.

New Kindle Elementary Model

This specific model has not been given any distinct name, and often people refer to it by its cost, that is $79. As it is the lowest priced amongst the three we may call it an elementary model, even though it is a lot more sophisticated than the previous models of its class. This latest Kindle comes with an improved E ink display which gives you the exact same experience as reading from a book page, and can be read even in bright sunlight without any reflection. The primary special features are its sleekness, lighter weight and more storage capacity. Although the model has the same 6-inch screen, it has a slightly smaller body than its forerunners, and weighs almost 30% lighter. The Wi-Fi feature, promises a book download in about a minute, and it has the capacity to store as much as 1,400 E-book.

The battery could last you for a month on a full charge, if you are reading for about half an hour every day with the Wi-Fi turned off. This particular model does not have a touchscreen, all controls are through control buttons, which are easy to operate, and you can obtain a Kindle manual to know all the controls properly.

New Kindle touch

For $20 more, you could get a model which has a touchscreen, text-to-speech English reading feature, and double the storage capacity, in comparison to the basic model. This new Kindle touchscreen model weighs only 7and half ounces, and has the usual 6 inches display. You could store about 3000 EBook, and download from a huge selection using the built-in Wi-Fi, by accessing hotspots. The touchscreen user interface makes it easy to use, and you can perform all functions like searching and turning pages with the flick of your fingers across the screen. You will not require a Kindle manual , as all operations are quite straightforward, and you can start using immediately out of the box. The life of the battery on a single charge is also double compared to the basic version. You may choose Kindle cases or Kindle covers, which fit this model snugly, so that you can protect the touchscreen.

Since its debut in November 2007, the Amazon Kindle has been a great success. Amazon has sold over eighteen million Kindles already. However, Amazon's success and large sales are unable to hold a candle to Apple's recent success in sales. Since April 2010, Apple has sold approximately 29 million iPads. They are also expected to sell 75% of all of the tablets bought this year.

However, Amazon is eager of a quick comeback in sales of ebook readers. Since November 2007, Amazon has made three new Kindles. They have as well dropped the price of the initial entry-level Kindle to $79, making this e-reader less expensive for many demographics. (Specifically those merely wanting an e-reader that is trustworthy and can get the job done.) The most recent model is the Kindle fire. Its current price is $199, which is a steal compared to Apple iPad costing $499. The Kindle fire has a 7" colored display and utilizes Android (by Google) as an operating system. These factors could lower not only Apple's business, but also the business of other top competitors such as Hewlett Packard.

After the Amazon Kindle was firstly announced, many believed that it would "fail and fail terribly ". Yet, e-books have immediately climbed the charts in production, and in the past 36 months have started passing conventional, printed paper books.

Amazon is firm in the belief that continuously making enhancements to a product is the key to keeping their Kindle at such a high need with regards to e-readers. It is true that Amazon makes not just many innovations, but as well as developments to the Kindle since its release in November 2007. Recently, Amazon made the announcement that the Kindle Touch will be accessible for $99. The Kindle Touch has built-in WiFi abilities, and not to mention, an advanced e-ink screen. (With the Touch's e-ink screen, you could actually sign documents. Imagine the possibilities!) If the Kindle touch 3G is purchased, it comes with free 3G wireless without having to pay any fees or contracts for just $149. Both the Kindle Touch and the Kindle Touch 3G can be pre-ordered, and they are fixed to ship on November 21st of this year.

The entry-level Kindle that is already selling for just $79, is basic in its functions (non-touch screen for example), but is still a sleek and effective design. (This Kindle weighs a mere six ounces!) This is a part of the special offers included while Kindle is enlarging to support Amazon Local. Amazon continues to be building all of its media services including streaming music, movies, TV, and more.

The new Kindle Fire was birthed from a basic question; "Is there a way that all of the advanced features, sleek design and affordability can be brought all together in one remarkable product?" The answer was the Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire has a 7" display screen and dual core processor. All of this is packed in just 14.6 ounces. For satisfaction, Amazon's cloud service backs all of the available content on the Kindle Fire. Syncing on the Kindle Fire is easy and noninvasive. It is because Amazon believes that syncing has to be done in the background with no hassle, and wirelessly. Their Whispersync services work the same with movies like they do with ebooks. Regarding the Kindles, it has been said that these are high quality products for prices that are not premium.
