What People Are Saying |
"

[Kindle Touch] felt instantly intuitive to use, and I’m not even someone who’s great with gadgets.
I definitely think EasyReach will make it more comfortable to read in bed, which is important to me." - EW.com |

The real feature to remember the Kindle Touch by is the new “X-ray” functionality that allows
you to select a page and instantly have a Wikipedia page pop-up with all the info you could ever want on important words or subjects on any given page." - Gadgetsteria |
"
|
X-ray is a godsend when you have put a book down for a while and forget who the players are -
even if the book includes a section for cast of characters, pop-up trumps look-up every time." - Wired |
"

The Best Part: How easy it is to do anything that has to do with a book: shopping, borrowing,
research, reference, skimming, note taking. You don't have to supplement the Kindle Touch for anything book-related." - Gizmodo |
