The third-generation Kindle, including Wi-Fi connectivity for $139, is the least expensive mainstream e-reader available, and the $189 3G version undercuts all other e-readers with mobile broadband connections.

Both models of the new Kindle come with a higher contrast eInk screen, double of the previous capacity. Battery life lasts up to one month even when frequently used, according to Amazon. The Amazon Kindle is now home in a stylish graphite-colored chassis and retains the 6-inch screen despite a 21 per cent smaller casing, by reducing gaps between buttons on the keyboard.

The device boasts 4GB of storage, and with 3G connectivity and Amazon’s international cloud means you’ll be able to instantly browse and download ebooks in a host of countries with a 3G network.

We expect e-book sales growth to keep up, predicting Kindle books will outsell paperbacks on Amazon.com in the next nine months to a year. And we just love this device, it’s great to bring on vacation and read the world while sunbathing at the beach.
