The Kindle Review has gotten ahold of a Kindle 3 and like the other posts below likes it very much. Here’s a snippet from the end of the review. Go over there for more detail.
Kindle 3 Review – Very Strongly Recommended if it’s what you’re looking for
At $189 the Kindle 3 is very tempting. It’s also the best eReader released in the 2.5 years this blog has been around.
Your decision to get a Kindle 3 should, however, depend on what features you value the most and on whether the Kindle 3 is the eReader/device that best meets your reading needs.
Here are the main reasons to stay away – it’s not a multi-purpose device, it’s probably not going to bestow an aura of coolness on you (although it might make intelligent people view you more favorably), the $139 Kindle WiFi is even better (if you don’t need 3G), there is no support for library books, Kindle 3 doesn’t support ePub, it does nothing other than read, no SD card slot and no replaceable battery, it’s not open, there’s no color, there’s no touchscreen.
Here are the main reasons to buy it – you love to read, you like to read and can afford $189 for an eReader, you want to read more, you get tired reading from LCD screens, you want to read in sunlight, you want a device built for reading from the ground up, you want to be able to buy books anywhere, you want to be able to read books anywhere and anytime, you want lots of free public domain books, you want your books read out to you, you want access to the best ebook store, you want access to the best eReader infrastructure.
