Enhanced Reading
Lose Yourself in Your Reading
The most elegant feature of a physical book is that it disappears while you’re reading. Immersed in the author’s world and ideas, you don’t notice a book’s glue, the stitching, or ink. Our top design objective was to make Kindle disappear—just like a physical book—so you can get lost in your reading, not the technology.
Paper-Like Screen
Utilizing the latest in electronic-ink display technology, Kindle provides a crisp black-and-white 6″ screen with the same appearance and readability of printed paper. Sharp and natural with no glare or backlight, reading on Kindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Those who see it for the first time always do a double-take. The screen works using ink, just like books and newspapers, but displays the ink particles electronically. And unlike a laptop or smart phone, Kindle never gets warm so you can comfortably read as long as you like.
Read what some of our customers have to say about Kindle’s screen:
“My first impression of Kindle’s screen was: ‘That’s a screen?! It doesn’t look like a screen.’ When I got my own, I had the same impression again. It looks like a book page, only perfect. No grain or pulp.” —Jeremy
“I love how the screen really looks like a page, because I do work at a computer all day, and the last thing I want to look at is another screen.”
—Amy P.
“I found the contrast to be soothing and I was able to read in direct sunlight with no glare.” —M. H.
“I use my Kindle for reading in bed and sitting at my desk. I also did a test read while sitting in full sun and the screen is even more readable.”
—Dallas M

From Library Journal
Following his best-selling How To Love a Black Man (Warner, 1996), Elmore now speaks to men in a straightforward manner about how to have a truly loving and mutually satisfying relationship with the black women they love. Based on his experience as a psychotherapist, ordained minister, couples counselor, and husband, Elmore translates the needs and desires of black women into a language men will understand.
