Easy-to-Read Display

Kindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works using
ink just like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically. The
page flash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process.
The electronic paper display is reflective, which means unlike most displays, you can
read it clearly even in bright sunlight. Also, electronic paper does not need power to
hold the ink in place, which extends your Kindle's battery life.

Wireless Access with Amazon Whispernet

The Amazon Whispernet service wirelessly delivers content to your Kindle whenever
and wherever you want it. All latest generation Kindle devices have Wi-Fi connectivity
built in, and some models also include free 3G connectivity.
Your Kindle can connect to Wi-Fi networks at home, at your favorite cafe, or at Wi-Fi
hotspots around the world. Using Wi-Fi allows fast downloads, free delivery of
personal documents, and allows your Audible audiobook purchases to be delivered
wirelessly to your Kindle, with no computer required.
For Kindle models that include free 3G connectivity, 3G uses the same technology as a
cell phone to connect from anywhere that's within the coverage area. When there isn't
sufficient 3G signal strength, Kindle 3G+Wi-Fi models automatically connect using the
slower EDGE and GPRS networks, but will automatically connect to the faster 3G
network whenever there is sufficient signal strength.
