  1. Even smaller design making the reader lighter and slimmer.  This makes reading more comfortable and carrying the device around easy – it will fit just about anywhere.
  2.

  3. Far better storage.  The memory has been expanded to allow for up to 3500 eBooks to be kept on the device itself (if you have more they are all backed up online in your own personal library).
  4. The addition of a free wifi connection as well as the 3G facility opens up your web-browsing to anywhere within a wifi hot-spot.
  5. The choice to buy a cheaper wifi only Kindle, bringing the price of the reader down to only $139.
  6. An improved WebKit web browser makes searching online quicker and more user-friendly.
  7. Facebook and Twitter integration allows the user to post excerpts quickly and effortlessly to their social media accounts.
  8. Faster and quieter page turns make reading a more seamless experience.
  9. Improved battery life allows for up to a month between charges when the wifi is disabled.  This makes the Kindle even better for vacations or work travel.
  10. MP3 is supported, so you can download music or podcasts and play them as background music whilst you read.
  11. A softer rubberised feel to the back of the Kindle means the new version is far more comfortable to hold, and less easy to drop.

There are, as you may well imagine many more benefits to the new eBook Reader from Amazon, but for most consumers the key points above will be more than enough to make the new Kindle 3 the eBook Reader of choice.
