Lighter than a paperback and thinner than a pencil, the Kindle is perfect for reading, even in bright sunlight. With room to store over a thousand eBooks, Kindle makes it simple to take your library with you.

Key Features:

  • Designed to look and read like real paper, Kindle’s E-Ink screen features a matte screen and no backlighting, preventing glare so you can read just as easily at the beach as you would in your living room.

  • Text is sharp and clear on Kindle. It uses ink particles and hand-built fonts to create crisp text that’s easy to read, just like with a printed book. Blacks are uniform and well defined on the white background, ensuring that text and page don’t fade into each other and words remain sharp.

  • Kindle benefits from an incredibly long battery life. You’ll be able to go for up to one month without needing to recharge. The included USB cable makes it simple to recharge too- simply plug into any chargeable USB port or plug adapter to reinvigorate your Kindle’s battery.

  • With over 1.5 million books, newspapers and magazines available to download from the Kindle store, you won’t be short of reading options. That includes more than a million free books, including classics like Pride & Prejudice and Treasure Island and over 300,000 titles that are exclusive to Kindle.

  • You can store up to 1,400 books on a Kindle, so you can move from one book to the next with ease. It’ll also help substantially reduce luggage weight for keen holiday readers!

  • Kindle can download books through your computer and the supplied USB cable, or directly onto your device using Wi-Fi, either at home or through Wi-Fi hotspots. Downloads are quick and easy, with books available to read in as little as 60 seconds.

  • Choose font size, typeface, line spacing and the number of words per line. Kindle is designed to let you customise your reading experience to the way that’s most comfortable to you. It also supports non-Latin characters, such as Cyrillic, Japanese, Chinese and Korean characters, so you can read books in the translation that’s right for you.

  • Use the 5-way controller to precisely navigate between books, chapters, pages and even words, and the side buttons to seamlessly flip from one page to the next.

  • Kindle makes it easy to look things up to. Want to find a specific word or phrase? Enter it on Kindle and it will search your library, Wikipedia or the rest of the web using Google search. Kindle also has a built-in Oxford Dictionary with over 250,000 entries, so you can quickly look up a definition without leaving the book.

  • Kindle makes it easy to bookmark and annotate text, as well as clip and highlight passages. And because these markings are digital, they can easily be deleted or exported to a computer. You can even post them directly to Twitter or Facebook without leaving the page.

  • Children’s books and comics also work on Kindle. Kindle Text Pop-Up makes for a fun reading experience for kids, while Kindle Panel View allows you to see a comic’s story panel by panel.

  • Kindle books match pages with their print equivalent so you can always find the ‘real’ page number, making it easy to reference in class or with a friend.
