Take a massive reading library on-the-go with the Kindle 6" eReader. This Kindle has a 6" anti-glare screen that allows you to read content in direct sunlight and a 167 ppi resolution for displaying clear and crisp text. The Kindle's internal storage can hold up to 2GB of content, which provides space for approximately 1400 books. If you have a large reading library, you can store that material for free in the Amazon cloud and download it as needed. You can browse the Kindle library and download books without a computer utilizing the Kindles's 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Kindle comes with a USB 2.0 cable for charging and can last up to 4 weeks on a single charge. This eReader supports children's books with Kindle Text Pop-up and allows you to set parental controls for denying access to mature material. The device's 5-way controller is designed for simple operation and navigation. With a weight of 5.98 oz and width of 4.5", the Kindle is compact and light-enough to fit in your pocket.
Reads Like Real Paper, No Glare Even in Bright Sunlight
Kindle uses an electronic ink screen that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room. The Kindle's screen has no glare.
Lighter Than a Paperback
At less than 6 ounces, Kindle is designed to make it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand for extended periods of time.
One-Month Battery Life
Kindle does not require power to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for up to a month on a single charge, with wireless off and a half hour of reading per day, versus hours on a tablet or smart phone.
Sharp, Clear Text
Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp, print-like text similar to what you see in a physical book. The screen's 100% aperture ratio means no gaps between pixels. The blacks and whites on the screen are uniform, improving image quality.
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.
Read in Any Position
When you read for long periods of time, you often switch positions to get more comfortable. Kindle has a uniform contrast ratio that does not change with your viewing angle, so you can read in any position.

Adjustable Text Sizes, Font Choices
Kindle has eight adjustable text sizes to suit your reading preference. You can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Kindle also has three font styles to choose from - all optimized and hand-tuned to provide the best reading experience.
Custom Fonts
Kindle uses hand-built, custom fonts and font-hinting to make words and letters more crisp, clear, and natural-looking. Font hints are instructions, written as code, that control points on a font character's line, improving legibility at small font sizes where few pixels are available. Hinting is a mix of aesthetic judgments and complicated technical strategies.
Global Language Support
Kindle supports the display of non-Latin characters, so you can read books and documents in your favorite language. Kindle displays Cyrillic (such as Russian), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean characters, in addition to Latin and Greek scripts. Kindle also provides access to several international dictionaries.
Real Page Numbers

Bookmarks and Annotations
Add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book, with a virtual keyboard that appears just when you need it. And because Kindle books are digital, you can edit, delete, and export your notes. You can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use. You don't need to bookmark your last place in the book, because Kindle remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.
