Those waiting for the Amazon Kindle Touch and Touch 3G in the UK, will be happy to know that the devices have already begun shipping in the country. This duly means that the eReader has been launched almost 7 days ahead of its plan meant for April 27.
The company’s lineup of eReaders has many features to its advantage like the touchscreen, long battery life and adequate storage capacity among others. As for the 3G variant, the wireless connectivity option offered by it is free of charge. The anti-glare eInk display sported by these eReading alternatives, enables convenient viewing even under bright sunlight.
“Orders from customers worldwide for our new line of electronic ink Kindles have exceeded our expectations. Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G are the most full-featured eReaders available with a beautiful, latest-generation electronic ink display, fast page turns and long, two month battery life. We know that UK customers are eager to get their hands on these new Kindles, which is why we’re delighted to be able to ship several days earlier than we planned,” commented Jorrit Van der Meulen, vice president, Kindle EU.
Their portability should not be a concern as these devices don a sleek profile. The power life of the 3G variant is expected to be almost 2 months when used for reading for about half an hour daily, without the wireless connection turned on. Apart from those mentioned, features like EasyReach, text-to-speech and X-ray make for a convenient eReading experience. Needless to say, prospective users have ready access to the Kindle Store for reading content.
The Amazon Kindle Touch and Touch 3G price details stand at £109 and £169, correspondingly. They are now available through the official site and sales channels like Carphone Warehouse, PC World, Dixons, John Lewis, Argos, Tesco, Staples, and Currys.
