An In Depth Look At The Kindle Wi-Fi Vs 3G

The Kindle Wifi and 3g are two very similar devices, with a minor, but very important difference. Let us take an in depth look at the Kindle WiFi vs 3G and explore this difference.

First of all, what is the Kindle? The Kindle is an eReader device designed and produced by Amazon.com, the online retail giant. It uses a special technology known as E Ink technology to make reading on the electronic device as much like reading a book printed on paper as possible.

The Kindle has no backlight, so unfortunately you are not able to read at night in the dark the way you can when reading on other devices such as smartphones and tablets. However, thanks to the E Ink screen technology, you are able to use your Kindle to read in even the bright glare of direct sunlight without any strain to your eyes.

The new third generation of Kindles have a 4 gigabyte memory. This means that you are able to store up to three thousand and five hundred books on your device – enough to make more than certain that even the most avid and enthusiastic reader has more than enough books to last them for quite a while. EBooks for your Kindle device can be brought from Amazon.com, who have a huge selection with many different authors, genres and subjects, or one of a range of other eBook websites.

You are also able to play mp3 files through your Kindle device. However, because of the very limited storage space (you are not able to extend this space at all as Kindle third generation devices do not support micro SD cards) you can only fit a few songs on your device and the playlist is entirely random.

So far, we have only discussed the things about Kindle WiFi and Kindle 3G that are the same, but now let us have a look at the difference I mentioned at the beginning of the article. You can get an idea of the difference if you look at the name of the two different models of the Kindle 3.

This difference is in the methods of connecting to the internet. Both the Kindle WiFi and the Kindle 3G are capable of using a wireless network as a means of connecting to the web, bit whole this is the only method the Kindle WiFi can use, the Kindle 3G has another. It is able to connect to the internet using the cellular 3G network service, letting you get new books wherever you are.
