This week, Amazon introduced us to the all-new Kindle.  Simply called Kindle, this newest version is being touted by Amazon as “Smaller, Lighter, Faster with 50% Better Contrast.”

The two new models, one with Wi-Fi and the other with 3G and Wi-Fi, are lighter at 8.5 ounces and 8.7 ounces respectively.  They have more storage space, now able to hold 3500 books.  The battery life on the wireless model will hold a charge for one month with wireless turned off or 3 weeks with it turned on.  The 3G model can last 1 month with no wireless or 3G and 10 days with them turned on.
