Easy-to-Read Display
Kindle uses a high-resolution display technology called electronic paper. It works using
ink just like books and newspapers, but it displays the ink particles electronically. The
page flash you see when you turn the page is part of the ink placement process.
The electronic paper display is reflective, which means unlike most displays, you can
read it clearly even in bright sunlight. Also, electronic paper does not need power to
hold the ink in place, which extends your Kindle's battery life.
Wireless Access with Amazon Whispernet
Using the wireless Amazon Whispernet service, Amazon delivers content to your
Kindle whenever and wherever you want it, within the wireless coverage area, using
the same technology as a cell phone. By default, your Kindle ships with Whispernet
already turned on. To turn Whispernet on or off, press the Menu button, move the
5-way controller up to underline "Turn Wireless On/Off," and then press the 5-way.
Your Choice of Text Size
To optimize your reading experience, Kindle provides a quick way to adjust the size of
the reading text among eight sizes.
