Abstract: I still slightly prefer reading Kindle books on an iPad to a Kindle device; however, that may change when we finally see the colour, backlit Kindle Fire tablet in Europe. For now, what we do have is the new Kindle Touch. Its daytime-readable screen is, li...
Initially, I had misgivings about Amazon's Kindle e-readers due to format constraints, but having used the workarounds available to good effect, this no longer remains a concern. The Kindle Touch is just the right size and its touchscreen makes for an...
Abstract: When we reviewed the £89 Kindle last year we said it was the best ebook reader available. But the new Kindle Touch, which costs £109, is even better. There’s a Wifi model, and another that lets you download books over mobile broadband, which costs £169...

Abstract: Amazon's touchscreen ebook reader, the Kindle Touch 3G ( £169 inc. VAT ), has finally landed. Ever since the e-tailer unleashed the original Kindle back in 2007, we've all been waiting for a touchscreen variant to arrive. The long wait, according to its m...

A bit big, not enough new features to persuade existing owners to upgrade
If you already have a Kindle, the Amazon Kindle Touch may not offer enough to persuade you to upgrade, but it's the best of the ereaders on offer at the moment – and we love the way you can add notes using the touchscreen controls...
The Kindle Touch is a great addition to the Amazon e-reader stable, with the same impressive battery, storage and e-ink screen of the original plus a touch-screen to bring it into the tablet era....

There's no doubt that the Kindle Touch 3G is a great device. It's not a question of whether we recommend it or not – we do – but whether it's the right Kindle model for you.For academic use, we recommend the Kindle Touch over its £89 sibling. It's so much...

It's more expensive than the Kindle Keyboard 3G, but performance is slicker, with much faster response times and page turns. Ask us to choose between the Wi-Fi Touch and the non-touch model, however, and we'd go for the £20-cheaper one every time...

Heavier than standard Kindle, doesn't support industry standard epub format
With the original Kindle on sale at £89, the extra 30 quid seems a high price to pay for a touchscreen. For another £20, the Sony Reader PRS-T1 has a touchscreen and browser, plays music and all the rest, but it's lighter and a little more intuitive to...
