Kindle Touch Review
The Amazon Kindle Touch was only announced a short while ago and is the latest to join the family of Kindle available on the market.
As soon as the Founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos the new Kindle Touch device the technology world went wild and discussions about its new design and features were widespread… and with good reason.
The Kindle Touch is definitely quite a bit advanced from the previous versions of the Kindle and that is exactly what we are going to into and see whether the innovations that Amazon have made are worth the investment to get one.
Having had the chance to play around with it non stop for a while now, here are the features that I kept returning to again and again:
Features:
1. Simple to Use Touch Screen
Having been a an owner of the previous generation of the Kindle (the one with the Keyboard) I was hesitant that the touch functionality of this device would really work properly or would feel as good as the buttons on my old Kindle did.
But I have to say that within minutes of getting the Kindle Touch I was browsing through it with ease.
The Touch Functionality is powered by new technology that Amazon have created called EasyReach. Amazon’s aim was to remove the user having to continuously swipe through different sections of the device. Its great all you have to do to go from one page to the next is tap the screen.
However if you are a user of the old version of the Kindle with buttons then you might find this a little strange at first, but once you get used to it you are going to love it. For me the kindle is that much more unnoticeable when you are immersed in a good book.
2. Two Months Battery Life
Now obviously I haven’t had the chance to test this feature out but if Amazon’s claims hold out true (they did for the previous version of the Kindle) then all I can say is WOW! I am already impressed by my current Kindle’s one month lifespan, but two months without charge is really going to be great.
Imagine being able to go on long vacations without having to pack your kindle charger. I know for me this feature alone is reason enough to buy the new Kindle Touch.
3. Real Pages Numbers
I have to say that I was jumping up and down for joy when I heard that the Kindle Touch will come with real page references.
Seriously this is the one feature that should have been included in the device from Day 1. But finally its available in the Kindle Touch.
I will tell you now that the page references were perfect and I checked it out with several different print versions of different books to make sure, and without a hitch the page reference in the Kindle was an exact match for the print version of the book.
Well done Amazon!
4. Price
This is the part, where I was completely shocked. Amazon were offering up the Kindle Touch for only $99 (ad supported), this was cheaper than any version of the Kindle before.
All the functionality of Touch and only $99, I would tell you that you are mad if you don’t get one at this price.
There are two versions available for the Kindle Touch, the cheaper one is $99 which comes with what Amazon have called ‘Special Offers’. Essentially this means that when the Kindle Touch is not in use it will display different adverts.
The other version is Ad Free and comes in at $139. Both version of the Kindle Touch offer the same functionality, the only difference is the ‘Special Offer’ Feature.
The preview unit I had came with the ‘Special Offers’, and I didn’t even notice it. You don’t see any advertisements while you are reading, so who cares if it displays adverts when you are not using the device!
These were the four areas that I really felt the Amazon Kindle Touch excelled in, but other areas that of course have been made popular with previous versions of the Kindle include:
- Being able to read in sunlight
- The access to millions of books, magazines, and newspapers on the Kindle Store
- and even faster page turns
Customer Reviews:
I didn’t want this Kindle Touch Review to be a biased opinion of only what I thought so I did some research into other users of the device and here is what they had to say about Amazon’s latest addition to the Kindle family:
“Pretty badass for $99. Blows Nook out of the water.”
“Nice job amazon. Making affordable and good tech. They know what the world needs!”
“$99 is a steal. im getting two of them!”
“I really hope this turns out amazing! I want one NOW! 
”

Negatives:
Now I have to say that Amazon have done a tremendous job with this device but as with anything it wasn’t perfect and here were a couple of things that I found some individuals may find annoying.
I had the previous version of the Kindle, and don’t have massive finger tips so using the physical keyboard has never been much of an issue with me, but for some people with larger fingers I know its been the cause of annoyance.
Well on the Kindle Touch, there is a virtual keyboard that you can pull up whenever you need to use it. Again for me (having smaller fingertips) using this virtual keyboard was’t a problem but I can see how it can be a problem for some.
The other issue I feel that some people just won’t like about the Kindle Touch is its main feature and that is the touch screen. The previous three editions of the Kindle have all included physical buttons to turn pages, whereas this new one is just touch based.
I say if you prefer physical buttons then you ought to check out the Kindle Keyboard.
Final Verdict:
To sum up this Amazon Kindle Touch Review, I would have to say that if you are looking to buy a new Kindle or are thinking about upgrading from a previous edition then now would be the perfect time to do that.
For only $99 you are going to be able to get the latest touch screen version of the Kindle to read from a choice of millions of books! Imagine being able to go anywhere and pull up any book you feel like reading. Perhaps you feel like two, or three… now compare that to having to carry around a lug of books in you bag….
Which one is better?
The Kindle not only offers books are a significantly reduced rate compared to the print versions but the reading experience is just amazing…. you will literally get lost into the books that you are reading. For these reasons you should definitely get the Kindle Touch today.
