Kindle, Wi-Fi, Graphite, 6" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology

Kindle, Wi-Fi, Graphite, 6" Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology

The size is absolutely ideal. In the Amazon cover, it is exactly like reading from a paperback book. It is noticeably lighter and simpler to hold for reading, even with arthritis in my hands. The page turn buttons are amazing.  no noise, and you don't must push them as hard. It ought to make it much simpler for those with weak or disabled hands. I also like have next page and earlier buttons on both sides. I didn't think it would make a difference to me, but it does. When I first unboxed the new K3, I was slightly disappointed. The new 5-way appeared to be harder to used than the small joystick of the K2. I must say, though, days later, I am liking it much better. Since I am getting used to it so quickly, I think in another day I won't know the difference.I haven't had it long to comment on the extended battery life. But I was honestly fine with the over ten days I always got with K2.I attempted a couple of times to connect the WiFi, but didn't get it to work. Today I had more time so I thought I'd try to puzzle through it. But when I navigated to the wireless menu, it had somehow figured out how to connect by itself. The browser is MUCH faster, and it made purchasing a book a breeze.The ONLY thing I would change if I could is to move the Menu button, and the Back button. I am having a small trouble navigating with the down arrow because I hit Back. But I am beginning to get the hang of it.And the FONTS! My word what a difference! I can practically read in the dark! I have been able to reduce the font size from three to six. Merge sharper contrast with better fonts and it is an unbeatable combo.All in all, I think Amazon hit it out of the park with the K3!
