Part of my attraction to the Kindle was its no-refresh, natural feeling, and the lack of pixel blur on full-page text. I also like the one-handed reading and jacket-pocketable aspects. I followed many of my fellow CNET editors who are proud Kindle owners and made the plunge. I haven't regretted the purchase." - CNET " The new Kindle is the best e-reader $100 (or less!) can buy." - Engadget " ... if what you want is pure e-reading pleasure for the lowest price around, this is a big, definite winner." - GigaOm " I can't think of a single other gadget that costs less than $100 that I'd actually recommend,  which makes the new Kindle just about the best Christmas gift out there." - Popular Science " The basic Kindle e-reader from Amazon now starts at $79, a price point that's very hard to resist. It seems that those of us late-adopters who have hung back will be nicely rewarded for our patience and circumspection." - Chicago Tribune Technical Details   Display Amazon's 6" diagonal most advanced E Ink display, optimized with proprietary waveform and font technology, 600 x 800 pixel resolution at 167 ppi, 16-level gray scale.
