Refurbished Kindles from Amazon!

September 13, 2010 By 1 Comment

Maybe you have been wanting to upgrade to that Kindle DX, but don’t want to shell out the cash! Or maybe, you really want a model that has 3G coverage, but can’t justify the extra cost.

Well, now Amazon might just have a solution for you – Refurbished Kindles. They are redone by Amazon and at a great cost.

For the Kindle DX it is only $289. For the 3G Kindle 2, it is only $159. Not bad compared to $379 and $189, respectively.

However, they are not new, so you might have some concerns about quality.

What do you think? Would you buy a refurbished Kindle? Let us know in the comments!

Check out the New Kindle 3!

August 16, 2010 By 5 Comments

kindle 3

The Kindle 3 is 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.

This newly remodeled reader is thinner, lighter, faster, and makes reading easier than with any previous Kindle model.   Weighing in at only 8.5 ounces, the sleekly designed electronic reader is lighter than a paperback book.   It is only 1/3” thick and feels great in the hand.  This new model is the thinnest Kindle yet.

Kindle 3 uses the latest electronic ink technology to create crisp, clear text that has a 50% greater contrast than before.  The screen isn’t backlit, so reading is comfortable, even in bright sunlight.  The addition of this feature means that Kindle users can read for hours with no eyestrain.

In the new model, pages can easily be turned with either hand, a great new feature for any of you who get tired of pushing that “next page” button. Also, this model displays text in eight different font sizes.

This Kindle also has the longest battery life yet.  Users can read up to a month without recharging.  This makes the new Kindle the perfect companion at home or on the road.  With built in WiFi, users can purchase the latest books, magazines, and blogs practically anywhere.

Storage capacity is remarkable on the new Kindle. The unit can store up to 3500 books and documents with no problem.

If you are looking to upgrade, Amazon makes it easy to switch from one Kindle to the next. Click here to go to Amazon and check it out now!
