Kindle is designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions like email alerts and push notifications Touchscreen display New—A touchscreen interface makes it easier to use features like X-Ray, Goodreads, built-in dictionary, highlighting, and more. And with a glare-free screen that looks like real paper, you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room Weeks-long battery life Kindle does not require power to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for weeks on a single charge. Easy on the eyes Every time your eyes switch from a bright screen to a dimmer, ambient room, your eyes have to adjust, which may result in fatigue. With Kindle, the page is the same brightness as everything else in the room, so there’s no adjustment needed. Lighter than a paperback Kindle is lighter than most paperback books, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand for extended periods of time. Reads like the printed page Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book. The blacks and whites on the screen are uniform, improving text and image quality.
