Amazon have announced their new e-Reader products Today from the popular Kindle series which are smaller, lighter and more affordable. The Kindle e-Reader (picture above) is the most compact, lightest and cheapest from Amazon. It has an advanced 6 inches e-ink display and can turn the pages 10 times faster or download these through wi-fi connection. The QWERTY keyboard is no longer present and the price starts at 79 USD.
The Kindle Touch has an e-ink multi-touch screen (the same 6 inches size) which increases the battery life. This version supports text-to-speech and mp3 files for audio books - all can be downloaded through the wireless connection. Kindle Touch has a new feature named X-Ray as lets customers see all passages across a book that mentions ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places, topics as well as detailed descriptions from Wikipedia, Amazon encyclopedia with a single tap. The price for this starts at 99 USD.
There is a 3G version which can offer free 3G connectivity but the price starts at 149 USD.
I believe the new Kindles will have a real success in e-Readers market, the same as iPad did in the tablets market.
