Kindle Wireless Reading Device – 5 Best Features Of Amazons Kindle Wi-Fi
Article by Paul Ford
If you are looking for an e-reader with good features without the expensive price tag, then the Kindle Wireless Reading Device (Wi-Fi) could be what you are looking for.
This might come as a bit of a surprise but the Kindle Wireless, Amazons entry level e-reader, has nearly all of the features show-cased in the more costly models except one thing … it does not have built-in 3G.
Nevertheless, with the Kindle Wireless, if you have access to a wireless router with high speed connection, you have the ability to connect and download your favorite books and other publications.
Here are 5 features which make the Kindle Wireless worth looking into:
1: Easy To Use And No Set Up Required
Often, when buying electronic devices, you often need to wade through pages of complicated and time-consuming set-up instructions before you can start enjoying the benefits of your new purchase.
According to Amazon, the Kindle Wireless needs no set-up, no computers and no complicated software to install … it can be used straight out of the box. This is of course a God-send for those consumers who are technically challenged.
2: On-Board Wi-Fi Automatically Connects
According to Amazon, the Kindle Wireless Reading Device will automatically search out any available Wi-Fi networks which could be in range.
So, if you are in your home, at a restaurant or a café or somewhere with a Wi-Fi hot-spot, then you can hook-up and download books or other publications.
3: Big Storage … Up To 3,500 Books
Compared to the older versions of Kindle, this is a big improvement.
The user can now store more books than most people would read in a lifetime, thanks to the much larger 4G memory.
Being able to store 3,500 books in a device not much larger than your hand, imagine how much space you would need if you were to create shelves to keep that many paperbacks. This is ideal for serious readers, particularly those who enjoy reading while on vacation.
4: Displays Newspapers And Magazines
Another feature worth mentioning is the 5-way controller.
With this feature, the consumer can switch between publications such as magazines, books and even newspapers which can be automatically delivered to you by wi-fi.
In fact, with one click, you can even save todays article to be read in a few days time. Certainly beats cutting out articles with scissors and trying to locate them again at a later date.
5: Battery Can Last Up To A Month Before Charging Is Required
Amazon claim that, when the wireless function is turned off, the battery will last for up to a month before a recharge is required. With wireless switched on, this drops to approximately 3 weeks.
A U.S. Power supply is included with this Kindle for re-charging via mains power.
Also included is a micro-USB lead which enables recharging via the USB port from a laptop or desktop computer.
To finish, unless you specifically need 3G capability, then you’ll certainly find that the Kindle Wireless Reading Device offers very good value for its price.
