Kindle Touch

What People Are Saying

Kindle Touch

"	[Kindle Touch] felt instantly intuitive to use, and I’m not even someone who’s great with gadgets. I definitely think EasyReach will make it more comfortable to read in bed, which is important to me." - EW.com
"	The real feature to remember the Kindle Touch by is the new “X-ray” functionality that allows you to select a page and instantly have a Wikipedia page pop-up with all the info you could ever want on important words or subjects on any given page." - Gadgetsteria
"	Between $79 and $149, the new E Ink Kindles bring dedicated e-readers to their iPod Shuffle moment. There’s really no longer a reason for anyone with a little bit of disposable income who reads e-books not to have one... Nobody else is likely to match those prices or features any time soon." - Wired.com
