Due to the success achieved by the Kindle since the price reduction brought on by the arrival of the iPad, Amazon has introduced its new Kindle.

Although the screen size has not changed, the device is now smaller and ligher than its predecessor.  It is also much faster; changing pages is 20% quicker.  The screen contrast has also improved, and it must be said that reading a book on this screen is much more relaxing than on a LCD.

It goes on sale starting August 27th. $189 for the 3G version and $139 for the WiFi model.
