Which Kindle to Buy

Let us now take a look at the available Kindle Canada Models, so that you can decide which Kindle to buy.

It certainly makes sense to know what these Kindle models are and how they differ from each other before shelling out Canadian dollars.

Kindle

This is the lightest and also the least expensive model of Kindle which Amazon simply calls ‘Kindle’, while customers and Kindle reviewers also refer to it as Kindle 4.

• Lightest Kindle – Weighs Just 170 grams (5.98 ounces)
• Most Compact Kindle – Easily fits in your pocket^
• Dimensions – 6.5” x 4.5” x 0.34” – quite thin!
• Storage – 2GB, Stores up to 1,400 books
• Battery life – Up to one month
• E-ink Pearl – The most advanced technology, delivers crisp text and images without eye strain
• Reading Comfort – Designed for extended reading, never gets hot, fast page turns, adjustable font size

Kindle Paperwhite

This is the latest model of Kindle, which includes all the good qualities associated with Amazon’s iconic Kindle e-Reader while offering built-in lighting which was so far missing in Kindle devices.

Unlike LCD displays which are back-lit and direct light into the user’s eyes, Kindle Paperwhite features Amazon’s patented front-lit display which guides light through an anti-glare layer down towards the display, and away from the reader’s eyes.

This means you will be able to read for hours in practically any lighting conditions, without experiencing any screen induced eye fatigue and strain – just like reading on paper!

• High Resolution – Kindle Paperwhite offers 221 ppi resolution compared to 167 ppi available in Kindle
• Long Battery Life – 8 weeks even with the light on compared to 4 weeks in Kindle 4
• Storage – 2GB, Good for 1,100 books
• Display – The same crisp paper-like display designed for long term reading
• Reading comfort – Excellent

Conclusion

No matter which Kindle Canada model you decide to go for, you are pretty much guaranteed to end up with the best and the latest in E-reading technology.

The cheaper $89 Kindle in our view is a great choice for kids and as a gift item, while those who like to read at night and also prefer the touch screen interface can go for Kindle Paperwhite WiFi.

Kindle Paperwhite 3G is useful for those who travel frequently and do not want to be bothered about hunting for a WiFi spot. Amazon offers free 3G connectivity in this model.
