Kindle Ereader
Basic 6-inch Kindle e-reader with e-ink display that looks and reads like real paper. The matte screen reflects light and uses a backlight, so you can read with equal comfort in bright sunlight and in the dark. Unlike tablet screens, the Kindle is glare-free. The low cost is achieved through ads displayed on the lock screen. A single battery charge lasts weeks. 8 GB of memory is enough to store thousands of books. You can listen to audiobooks via Bluetooth.
