Amazon has announced that their new Kindle Touch will go on sale in the UK in April. The device will be available in the UK from the 27th of April and will come in two flavors: a WiFi-only model and a WiFi and 3G model.
The WiFi Kindle Touch will retail for £109, while the WiFi and 3G Kindle Touch will retail for £169. Both devices are now available to pre-order from Amazon here in the UK.
Features of the Amazon Kindle Touch
The Amazon Kindle Touch comes with a feature called X-Ray. X-Ray provides you with information about the book you are reading from external sources like Wikipedia. This feature is particularly useful for readers who want to delve deeper into the context of the book, understand historical references, or learn more about the characters and settings. For instance, if you are reading a historical novel, X-Ray can provide you with background information on the historical events mentioned in the book.
Another notable feature of the Kindle Touch is its touch-screen interface, which makes navigation more intuitive compared to the traditional button-based Kindle models. The touch screen allows for easy page turning, text highlighting, and note-taking, enhancing the overall reading experience. Additionally, the Kindle Touch supports text-to-speech, enabling users to listen to their books if they prefer.
Connectivity Options
The Kindle Touch offers two connectivity options: WiFi and WiFi + 3G. The WiFi-only model is perfect for users who primarily read at home or in places with reliable WiFi access. On the other hand, the WiFi + 3G model is ideal for those who are frequently on the go and need access to their books without relying on WiFi. The 3G connectivity is free and works globally, allowing users to download books from almost anywhere in the world without incurring additional charges.
The Kindle Touch also boasts a long battery life, with Amazon claiming that a single charge can last up to two months with wireless off and half an hour of reading per day. This makes it an excellent choice for travelers and avid readers who don’t want to worry about frequent charging.
You can find out more details about the Amazon Kindle Touch over at Amazon, and the device will be available here in the UK from the 27th of April.
Anticipation for the Amazon Kindle Fire
While the announcement of the Kindle Touch is exciting, many are also eagerly awaiting news about the Amazon Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire is Amazon’s entry into the tablet market, offering a color display and multimedia capabilities that go beyond just reading. Unfortunately, Amazon has not yet released any information on when the Kindle Fire will go on sale in the UK. As soon as we get more information, we will let you guys know.
In the meantime, the Kindle Touch provides a robust and feature-rich option for readers looking to upgrade their e-reading experience. Whether you choose the WiFi-only model or the WiFi + 3G model, the Kindle Touch promises to deliver a seamless and enjoyable reading experience.
