Kindle, 6" Glare-Free Touchscreen Display, Wi-Fi
Touchscreen display

Easy on the eyes

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.

Won't tire your eyes in the dark
