Battery life

Light weight
The E Ink display remains as clever an addition as it always has
Never jarring on the eyes. You may be looking at a screen
But it doesn’t feel like you are at all. It really is a marvel. Everything about it and what’s on display is designed to get your reading
And swiping through those pages. Sure
The display isn’t as eye-catching as other tablets
But images are still clear
And the Kindle T

The editors didn't like
Slow touch interface
Easy to accidentally turn pages
Heavier than the standard Kindle
Awkward page turning
Overly sensitive screen
A bit pricey
A bit big
Not enough new features to persuade existing owners to upgrade
Screen can be a bit sensitive
Long recharge time
There is a slight delay when scrolling through lists
But it’s not a problem you’ll encounter top much
Though it remains a little area for improvement for the next generation of Amazon Kindle e-Reader. The Amazon Kindle touch is also a tad bigger than the original Kindle
Although admittedly not by much. There’s little difference in weight anyway. There is
However
The problem of reading in the
Less elegant
More expensive
Some interface elements not totally touch
Friendly
Expensive compared to standard Kindle
Touch doesn't add a lot
Text to speech is a bit rough sounding
Ebooks are still no VAT exempt and often too expensive
Sleek, light design, Plays MP3s and reads text to speech, Decent in-a-pinch Web browsing, Well-executed syncing of notes, page locations in the cloud
$99 price mandates onscreen ads, No support for ePub format, No memory-card slots, AC adapter costs extra, Few choices of font
Though last to the touch-input e-reader party, Amazon delivered a winner with the Kindle Touch. It gets our nod for sleek design, as well as its MP3-playback, text-to-speech, and Web-browsing functions. (Not to mention Amazon's awesome content ecosys...

Abstract: The Amazon Kindle Touch is quite a remarkable little machine. In many ways, it can be seen as a halfway point between the Fourth Generation Kindle e-Reader and the Kindle Fire Tablet. However, it's not simply a glorified reader, nor is it a stripped down ...
Though the Kindle Touch is a necessary catch-up upgrade for Amazon, this model's hardware and software introduce little innovation and imagination to separate it from the competition. The most compelling aspect of the Kindle Touch is its inclusion of ...
Only e-reader with a 3G version, Easy to page through books with left or right hand
Menus are awkward
Though the Kindle Touch brings Amazon up to speed with other e-readers, its hardware and software offer little in the way of imagination and useful innovation. Images (click to enlarge) Kindle Touch Review: Finally, a Touch E-reader for Amazon Ama...

At the end of my Kindle 4 review, I said that the low-end Kindle “isn't necessarily designed to be anyone's first Kindle or anyone's only Kindle” and was aimed primarily at people who already own another tablet or Kindle. I still think that the Kindle 4 i...
Abstract: When Amazon introduced its most recent crop of Kindles, the company kept the devices and the press thoroughly separated. Which was a bit of a shame, because one of the newer introductions, the Kindle Touch, demanded some hands-on time to really appre...
If you're an Amazon person and don't take copious notes, the Kindle Touch is a no-brainer. It's much easier to navigate the device using a touch screen rather than the old joystick method, and even the on-screen keyboard is easy to use as a stand-in f...
