The Amazon Kindle team says:

We're excited to introduce an all-new Kindle family: three all-new Kindle e-readers that are smaller, lighter, and more affordable than ever before, and Kindle Fire - a new class of Kindle that brings the same ease-of-use and deep integration of content that helped Kindle re-invent reading - to movies, TV shows, music, magazines, apps, books, games, and more.

New Latest Generation Kindle-Fits In Your Pocket-Only $79

The new latest generation Kindle is for readers who want the lightest, most compact Kindle at an incredible price. The latest generation Kindle features a new design that is 30 percent lighter at just 5.98 ounces, 18 percent smaller, and turns pages 10 percent faster. Kindle is now small and light enough to fit easily in your pocket and carry with you everywhere, yet it still features the same 6-inch, most advanced electronic ink display that reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight.

Kindle is available starting today at www.amazon.com/kindle.

New Addition to the Kindle Family-"Kindle Touch"-Only $99

Kindle Touch is a new addition to the Kindle family with an easy-to-use touch screen that makes it easier than ever to turn pages, search, shop, and take notes - still with all the benefits of the most advanced electronic ink display. Kindle Touch is also lighter, smaller, eliminates battery anxiety with extra-long battery life and holds thousands of books.

Kindle Touch is available to customers in the U.S. for pre-order starting today at www.amazon.com/kindletouch and ships November 21.

New Top of the Line Kindle e-reader-"Kindle Touch 3G" -Only $149

Kindle Touch 3G is a new addition to the Kindle family for readers who want the top of the line e-reader. Kindle Touch 3G offers the same new design and features of Kindle Touch - small and light, easy-to-use touch screen, storage for thousands of books, and extra-long battery life - with the unparalleled added convenience of free 3G. Kindle's free 3G connection means you never have to hunt for or pay for a Wi-Fi hotspot - you simply download and read books anytime, anywhere in over 100 countries around the world. Amazon pays for the 3G connection so there's no monthly fee or annual contract.

All three new Kindle e-readers also come with special offers and sponsored screensavers that appear when you're not reading.

Customers can also choose to purchase a Kindle without special offers and sponsored screensavers.

New Class of Kindle-"Kindle Fire"-Only $199

I love my wife's Kindle and I'd love to have one, I'd also love to have a tablet. The Kindle Fire sounded like the perfect product until they announced it's WiFi only. For $200, it's not a bad price at all, but I'd be willing to pay $250 for a 3G or 4G version as well as for a monthly data plan. The older 3G Kindles get free 3G through AT&T, so it's not like Amazon doesn't have their foot in the door with a service carrier.

It's been announced already that they'll be bringing out a Kindle Fire 10" and hopefully this one will have 3G (or above). The same company that made BlackBerry's PlayBook made this and they didn't release a 3G model until after the WiFi-only version was in customer's hands, so maybe we can expect the same thing to happen here.

I like the looks of it. I have one of the older Kindles and it's great but this looks like it's miles beyond!

The problem with the Kindle Fire is you lose the eink screen which is what makes the ereaders so nice.

Wife is making it known she wants a eReader for Christmas, so what is an eink screen and is it something she needs?

I know. Im not sure how this screen is going to look.

eink is the technology that kindle uses on their screens. other than the fire, that makes it look like you are reading off of paper instead of a computer screen. Less eye strain after long reading sessions.

I have a Sony EBook reader. I don’t know about the new Kendal’s but the old ones were not compatible with the Oklahoma Metro Library EBooks. This is why I have the Sony. Being able to download their books free saves lots of $$$.
