New Kindles start shipping today! The fastest-selling Amazon devices

Amazon today announced that the most expected new Kindle and Kindle 3G has started shipping 2 days ahead of previously announced release date. The generation Kindles become the most ordered and the most wanted e-book devices in the history of Kindle - customers ordered more Kindles on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk combined than any other product. Only in the first 4 weeks of availability the new Kindles become the fastest-selling ever. So today, the new Kindles started shipping to customers today--two days earlier than previously announced.

 

"Kindle is the best-selling product on Amazon.com for 2 years running and our new generation Kindles are continuing that momentum," said Steven Kessel, senior vice president, Amazon Kindle. "Readers are excited about all that the new Kindle has to offer--50% better contrast, 20% faster page turns, 15% lighter, up to one month of battery life--and a new price of only $139."

 

The all-new Kindle has an electronic-ink screen with 50% better contrast than any other e-reader, a new sleek design with a 21% smaller body while still keeping the same 6-inch-size reading area, 15% lighter weight at just 8.5 ounces, 20% faster page turns, up to one month of battery life with wireless off, double the storage to 3,500 books, no glare even in bright sunlight and built-in Wi-Fi--all for only $139. The all-new Kindle 3G with all of these new features plus the convenience of free 3G wireless is only $189.
