Many of you have the older Kindle models and have not upgraded to the Kindle 3 yet. If you have wondered if it is really worth upgrading, let me give you a quick Kindle 3 review and break down for you the differences so you can make an informed decision!
Better Pricing
Of course, the Kindle has gone down significantly since the Kindle 2 and the first version. At the time of this writing, you can get the Kindle 3 is $139 and the ad supported version is $114. Not too bad for an upgrade!
Better Fonts
The Kindle 3 adds a couple of new fonts that are darker, making it a bit easier to read.
Size
Did you know that the Kindle 3 is actually about 80% the size of the Kindle 2? The screen is still the same size, however.
Better Battery Life
The Kindle 3 has a better battery life, with about 60 days on the charge when not using the wifi.
Even Less Glare
The older Kindle versions have virtually no glare, but the Kindle 3 has even less glare now. This makes it even easier to read outdoors and even better than the other ebook readers that exist out there.
WiFi
With the wifi on the Kindle 3, getting a book downloaded takes only about a minute, if not less.
Page Speed
The lag on page turns (which was not that much to start with) has gotten even shorter, by about 20%, so you can turn the pages just that much faster! I never had that much trouble with it, however.
Doubled Storage
The storage space on the Kindle 3 is twice the size of the Kindle 2, which is great with all the new apps and such out there. Although, I have never come close to hitting the limits of my storage on the older models!
As you can see, there are several features that might tempt you to upgrade! Check out more features over at Amazon by clicking here

, and for only $139, it’s a steal! With its lightning fast download time, high definition surround-sound (how cool is that!), and several other new features, the unit takes reading to a whole new level of experience.
