A review of the Amazon Kindle (3rd Generation) ereader has been posted over at MobileTechReview. 'The new Kindle is 21% smaller and 15% lighter at 8.7 ounces. In fact, this thing is crazy small and light. The outgoing Kindle was a bit of a chunky monkey compared to the Nook, Kobo Reader and Sony Reader Touch Edition, so that's a good thing. It also further underscores Kindle's advantage vs. the iPad: the Kindle is small and light enough to hold for a few hours reading and to throw in a carry on bag. The iPad is 1.5 lbs. of albatrossian weight in comparison. The Kindle 3's other advantages vs. the iPad are its much lower price, long battery life and the eye-friendly E-Ink display. While E-Ink isn't exactly a polarizing technology, there are folks who adore LCDs and those refuse to read on anything but E-Ink.'
