Function
The Kindle allows users to download electronic books, magazines, and newspapers. Over 200 texts can be stored and read at any time.
Size
The second generation Kindle, which was unveiled in 2009, measures 7.5 inches long, 5.3 inches wide, and a mere 0.7 inches thick. It weighs just 10.3 ounces.
Features
The second generation Kindle has a 6-inch display screen that offers 600 X 800 pixel resolution and 4-level gray scale. A full QWERTY keyboard and wireless connectivity allows for book downloads from anywhere at anytime.
Benefits
The Kindle offers convenience, portability, and freedom, allowing users to carry an entire library with them wherever they go. Electronic books are also cheaper than their traditional paper counterparts.
Considerations
Reading reference or text books can be difficult on a Kindle since research work often requires flipping quickly between pages. The device's thin, streamlined shape compromises durability. Battery life, lack of color, and inability to expand memory are other potential drawbacks.
