Wi-Fi or 3G?

To shop for books and to sync bookmarks and the last page read across devices, you'll need to have a wireless connection. Choose between Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Free 3G.

Kindle Touch comes with built-in Wi-Fi and enables you to download books anywhere you have access to a Wi-Fi connection, such as your home, office, or coffee shop. If you frequently download books at home, or other places where Wi-Fi is readily available, the Kindle Touch is perfect for you.

Kindle Touch 3G has the same Wi-Fi connectivity as the Kindle Touch but also includes free 3G wireless, so you are ready to shop and read right out of the box and can download books anytime, anywhere. Amazon pays for Kindle Touch 3G's wireless connectivity--there are no monthly fees or annual contracts. Learn more
