Detailed Features |
Kindle Touch 3G
The most elegant feature of a physical book is that it disappears while you’re reading. Immersed in the author’s world and ideas, you don’t notice a book’s glue, the stitching, or ink. Our top design objective is to make Kindle Touch 3G disappear — just like a physical book — so you can get lost in your reading, not the technology.
Ergonomic Design
Kindle Touch 3G is easy to hold, read and use. We designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions and often like to read with one hand. Kindle Touch 3G has a new ergonomic design so it can be held comfortably however you choose to read.
Touch Controls and Virtual Keyboard
Kindle Touch 3G features a full touchscreen display that puts page turns, navigation and note-taking at your fingertips. Tap unknown words to call up definitions in the dictionary, highlight sections of text to send to a friend, or search, shop and type with a virtual keyboard that appears on screen just when you need it.
New Touch Experience – EasyReach
Amazon invented a new type of touch experience that eliminates the fatigue caused by continuously swiping to turn the page, and that allows readers to hold Kindle with either hand while still turning pages comfortably. With EasyReach, Kindle Touch 3G users can effortlessly page forward in a book or a periodical while holding the device with either hand. Tapping on most of the screen area will page forward, the most common action done when reading; tapping in a narrow area near the left edge of the device turns to the previous page; and tapping on the top part of the screen brings up the toolbars for further options. This is another way that Kindle helps readers get lost in the author’s world.
Never Gets Hot
Unlike a laptop, Kindle Touch 3G never gets hot so you can read comfortably as long as you like.
Easiest to Use, Free 3G Wireless
Kindle Touch 3G is our easiest-to-use, most-convenient Kindle because there is no wireless setup–you are ready to shop, download, and read right out of the box. Kindle Touch 3G uses the same wireless signals as cell phones, so you don’t need to worry about Wi-Fi connections, passwords or internet charges. Unlike cell phones, with Kindle Touch 3G there are no monthly fees or commitments — Amazon pays for Kindle Touch 3G’s wireless connectivity.
Your Kindle may use wireless connectivity to make other services available, such as wireless delivery of personal documents (see below), which may require an additional charge. For more information, see Wireless Terms and Conditions.
With wireless coverage in over 100 countries and territories, Kindle Touch 3G lets you download books anytime, anywhere, whether you’re relaxing on a beach, halfway through a hike, or waiting on the tarmac. Check 3G coverage area
For U.S. customers traveling abroad, additional charges apply for wireless delivery of periodical subscriptions. For details, click here. To avoid any charges, you can always download items via your computer and transfer them to your Kindle using USB or a Wi-Fi connection.
Built-in Wi-Fi
Kindle Touch 3G also comes with built-in Wi-Fi. Kindle Touch 3G automatically detects nearby Wi-Fi networks wherever you are, making it easy to connect at school, home, or your favorite café.
Free Access at AT&T Hotspots
Enjoy free Wi-Fi access at AT&T hotspots across the U.S. for shopping and downloading Kindle content — no AT&T registration, sign-in, or password required.

Latest Generation E Ink
Kindle Touch 3G uses E Ink Pearl – the latest generation of E Ink technology available – to deliver clear, crisp text you can read without strain.
How Electronic Ink Works
Electronic ink uses actual ink particles to create crisp, print-like text similar to what you see in a physical book. Kindle Touch 3G uses proprietary, hand-built fonts to take advantage of the special characteristics of the ink to make letters appear clear and sharp.
Reads Like Real Paper
Because Kindle Touch 3G’s electronic display uses E Ink, it looks and reads like real paper. The Kindle Touch 3G screen reflects light like ordinary paper and uses no backlighting, so you can read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room.

Adjustable Text Sizes, Font Choices
Kindle Touch 3G has eight adjustable font 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 Touch 3G also
has three font styles to choose from – all optimized and hand-tuned to
provide the best reading experience.
Customer Fonts
Kindle Touch 3G 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. We’ve designed our proprietary font-hinting to optimize specifically for the special characteristics of electronic ink.
Fast Page Turns
Kindle Touch 3G has fast page turns. We’ve done this by fine-tuning Kindle Touch 3G’s proprietary waveform, the series of electronic pulses that move black and white electronic ink particles to achieve an optimal display of images and text.
Support for Non-Latin Characters
Kindle Touch 3G supports the display of non-Latin characters, so you can read books and documents in the translation that’s right for you. Kindle Touch displays Cyrillic (such as Russian), Japanese, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), and Korean characters, in addition to Latin and Greek scripts.
Full Image Zoom
Images and photos display crisply on Kindle Touch 3G and can be zoomed to the full size of the screen.
Real Page Numbers
Easily reference and cite passages or read alongside others in a book club or class with real page numbers. Using the computing fabric of Amazon Web Services, we’ve created algorithms that match specific text in a Kindle book to the corresponding text in a print book, to identify the correct, “real” page number to display. Available on tens of thousands of our most popular Kindle books, including the top 100 bestselling books in the Kindle Store that have matching print editions. Page numbers are displayed when you touch the top of the screen.
Carry and Read Your Personal Documents
Kindle Touch 3G makes it easy to take your personal documents with you, eliminating the need to print. You and your approved contacts can e-mail documents – including Word, PDF and more – directly to your Kindle and read them in Kindle format. Delivery via Wi-Fi is free; there is a small fee for delivery via 3G – see details. Your personal documents will be stored in your Kindle library on Amazon and ready to download conveniently anywhere at any time. You can add notes, highlights and bookmarks, which are automatically synchronized across devices along with the last page you read using our Whispersync technology.
You can read your PDFs in their native format and convert them to the Kindle format so that it reflows like a regular Kindle book.

Dictionary and Search
Built-In Dictionary with Instant Lookup Come across a word you don’t know? Kindle Touch 3G includes The New Oxford American Dictionary
with over 250,000 entries and definitions for free. Kindle Touch 3G
lets you instantly look up the definition without ever leaving the book –
simply touch and hold the word you want to check and the definition
will automatically display at the bottom of the screen.
Search Wikipedia and the Web
Kindle Touch 3G makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. Just enter a word or phrase and Kindle will search every instance across your Kindle library, in the Kindle Store, on Wikipedia, or the Web using Google search.
X-Ray
For Kindle Touch, Amazon invented X-Ray – a new feature that lets customers explore the “bones of the book.” With a single tap, readers can see all the passages across a book that mention ideas, fictional characters, historical figures, places or topics that interest them, as well as more detailed descriptions from Wikipedia and Shelfari, Amazon’s community-powered encyclopedia for book lovers.
Amazon built X-Ray using its expertise in language processing and machine learning, access to significant storage and computing resources with Amazon S3 and EC2, and a deep library of book and character information. The vision is to have every important phrase in every book.

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 it is digital, you can edit, delete, and export your notes. You

You’ll never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because
Kindle remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.
