Amazon’s release of the Kindle 3 is deemed as not revolutionary, but rather evolutionary, which means that this new Kindle is an improved version of the previous Kindle. Amazon has done a great job doing just that, and once again it has proven to the world that it is the iPod of the eBook reader industry.
In fact, it is not the first eBook reader ever invented, neither is iPod the first mp3 player ever invented, but both devices are the ones that ushered in their gadget type into the mass market, making these gadgets everyday devices for millions of people.
One of the most prominent changes made for the new Kindle is that it is smaller and lighter. Amazon made it this way so that it can be more portable and accessible, a device that people can carry around and use anywhere, except when you are driving, and especially if you are a bus driver. That last statement comes from the news that a bus driver got fired for reading his Kindle while driving. Evidence sufficed when a passenger took a video of him doing such a dangerous thing. The exact size of Kindle 3 is 21 percent off the size of the previous version of Kindle.
