At 10.2 ounces, Kindle is lighter than a typical paperback and as thin as most magazines. Barely a third of an inch in profile, you'll find Kindle e Book Reader fits perfectly in your hands.

Unlike most electronic devices, the Kindle is simple. Amazon Kindle 2 is a wireless reading device and comes ready to use right out of the box–no setup, no cables, no software to install, no computer required.
Ergonomic Design
Kindle is easy to hold and read. No accidental page turns with the new Kindle 2. It's designed 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's page-turning buttons are located on both sides, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably with one hand from any position.
Precise 5-Way Controller
Kindle 2 has an easy-to-use 5-way controller, enabling precise on-screen navigation for selecting text to highlight or looking up words. I've expanded my vocabulary on the sport with the ability to access the full dictionary on the spot to look up exact definitions of words that previously, I'd only used based on context.

Battery life will vary based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content. In low-coverage areas. Wireless usage does consume battery power more quickly so unless you need to access the store, keep the wireless feature turned off.

Kindle ships with a U.S. power adapter and a micro-USB cable for charging your Kindle from a computer USB port. The U.S. power adapter supports voltages 100V-240V. The nifty plug allows you to recharge from a normal electrical outlet as well. You don't need a computer to recharge, but you can if you prefer.
