Kindle is thinner and lighter than the previous generation Kindle, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand. Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book. The blacks and whites on the screen are uniform, improving text and image quality. Evening exposure to blue light from backlit screens like tablets and smartphones can suppress the body's production of melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that helps the body fall asleep. Because the Kindle display emits no light, you can read anytime without losing sleep. Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the high contrast touchscreen display eliminates glare in any setting - even direct sunlight. Kindle doesn't need power to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for weeks on a single charge.
