| From Kindle 3 Unboxing |
I'll let others do the full review. Here are the salient points for me:
- The charging indicator is red/green, but unlike charging indicators designed by other companies that don't have color-blind males on staff (I'm looking at you, Garmin!), the Kindle's charging indicator is distinguishable by me. This is a basic usability thing and I'm always annoyed when companies get it wrong.
- It's slimmer than before, but not really all that much smaller.
- Page turns are much faster than the K1. This is a very nice feature.
- Wow, the screen has improved dramatically! The picture below looks like the text and diagram is written on the plastic, but it actually is the Kindle's display!
- It's lighter. Significantly lighter. Very nice for cycling and backpacking trips.
- Global 3G coverage. No more airport bookstores. Enough said.
- Categories are nice. I could spend weeks categorizing my books.

All in all, if you have a K1 and skipped the K2 "upgrade" because of the battery issue and the lack of SD card, I think this is the one to jump to. The increased battery life and storage means that the battery and SD card is no longer something of concern.

Nice gadget...where can i buy this gadget?
@tutclub, here's a hint: It is called the AMAZON Kindle.
Rings any bells?
So which Kindle 3 cover did you get to protect it?
It turns out that my Kindle 1 Waterfield Slip Case fit the K3 as well, so I have no need to buy another cover. I am very tempted to get the lighted cover for at home/heavyweight travel/in-bed reading, however!
