What actual user says:
K3 is perfect, August 28, 2010
"When I first unboxed the new K3, I was slightly disappointed. The new 5-way appeared to be harder to used than the little joystick of the K2. I have to say, though, two days later, I'm liking it much better. Since I'm getting used to it so quickly, I think in another day I won't know the difference.
The size is absolutely perfect. In the Amazon cover, it is exactly like reading from a paperback book. It's noticeably lighter and easier to hold for reading, even with arthritis in my hands. The page turn buttons are wonderful. Almost no noise, and you don't have to push them as hard. It should make it much easier for those with weak or disabled hands. I also like have next page and previous buttons on both sides. I didn't think it would make a difference to me, but it really does."

Review of a First Time Kindle User, September 5, 2010
"I consider myself an avid reader and a bit of a geek, but was very hesitant to the idea of purchasing an e-reader. Yet eventually curiosity got the better of me and I took the plunge with the latest version of kindle. I must say I am very glad I did, wish I had earlier, and really wish I had purchased the latest series of books I had lost to water damage in electronic form instead of paper."

Features Highlights
All-New Design
Lighter & Thinner - Only 8.7 Ounces
Kindle 3G Wifi is lighter than a typical paperback, and thinner than a magazine. When reading for long periods of time, we know that weight matters. That’s why we worked hard to make our newest Kindle lighter than ever – only 8.7 ounces – so you can read comfortably for hours with just one hand. Just a third of an inch in profile, Kindle fits perfectly in your hands.
Ergonomic Design
We designed it with long-form reading in mind. Kindle 3G is easy to hold and read. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages from any position. The new soft-touch, textured back is comfortable to hold and never gets hot in your hands.
Long Battery Life
Battery Life of Up to One Month
A single charge lasts up to one month with wireless off. Keep wireless always on and it lasts for up to ten days. Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store, web browsing, and downloading content. In low-coverage areas or in EDGE/GPRS-only coverage, wireless usage will consume battery power more quickly.
Wireless Access With Whispernet
No Monthly Wireless Bills or Annual Contracts
No monthly wireless bills or commitments. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you won't see a monthly wireless bill. There is no wireless setup – you are ready to shop, purchase, and read right out of the box.

Stay in touch with news from home by having your newspaper and magazine subscriptions delivered wirelessly while you travel.
Reading, Revolutionized
Paper-Like Screen with New E Ink Pearl Display for 50% Improved Contrast
Sharp and natural with no glare or backlight, reading on Kindle is nothing like reading on a computer screen. Our latest Kindle Ebook uses Amazon's new, high-contrast E Ink Pearl display with 50% better contrast, for the clearest text and sharpest images. With Pearl, the most-advanced E Ink display on the market, text "pops" from the page creating a reading experience most similar to reading on printed paper. Those who see it for the first time always do a double-take.
New Proprietary Screen Technology - Faster Page Turns, New and Improved Fonts
Kindle’s new, high-contrast display is further optimized with Amazon’s proprietary waveform and font technology to make pages turn faster and fonts sharper. Waveform is a series of electronic pulses that move black and white electronic ink particles to achieve a final gray level for an image or text. We have tuned Kindle's waveform and controller mechanism to make page turning 20% faster. This waveform tuning, combined with new hand-built, custom fonts and font-hinting, make words and letters more crisp, clear, and natural-looking. Font hints are instructions, written as code, that control points on a font character's line and improve legibility at small font sizes where few pixels are available. Hinting is a mix of aesthetic judgments and complicated technical strategies. We've designed our proprietary font-hinting to optimize specifically for the special characteristics of electronic ink.
