Amazon Kindle 3rd Generation eReader Still Tops!

When a new technology arrives, usually the manufacturer who develops the first representation of that new science has a huge leg up on the competition. That was the case with Amazon which had no real competition when it showed up over 3 years ago. But rather than just coast on their "first to market" success, Amazon has tweaked and improved the Kindle each year since, and the Kindle 2 was a more efficient eReader device than the original. So too is the Kindle 3 the best Kindle yet. 
It is smaller, thinner, lighter, more powerful, holds twice as much content and is now more portable than any other eReader. So how else could it get better? Well, the new game-changing E-Ink Pearl technology delivers a display that is 50% easier to read, with better contrast and more, sharper fonts. The best-selling and most popular eReader of all time just became better in every significant way.
