CNET have published a review of the Amazon Kindle 2011. 'The basic Kindle is the smallest and lightest of the three new Kindles, weighing 5.98 ounces. At 6.5 inches long by 4.5 inches wide by a scant 0.34 inch thick, it's slightly smaller all around than the Kindle Touch and it weighs 1.5 ounces less. The Barnes & Noble Nook Touch, by comparison, is very similar in size and weight to the Kindle Touch. Since this Kindle lacks a touch screen, page turns are accomplished via buttons mounted on either side of the screen. We didn't like the page-turn buttons quite as much as those on the earlier Kindle, but they're basically fine. (The $99 Kindle Touch has no physical page-turn buttons--you tap on the screen to go back or forward.)'

Tablet PC Review have published their review of the Amazon Kindle DX eReader. 'The Kindle DX is 10.25-inches tall and 7.13-inches wide, with the large screen dominating the front of the device. The front is graphite plastic, with the home, page back and forward, menu, and back buttons only on the right side. That's a disappointment for this lefty, but they are large and easy to use. After just a few minutes of reading I didn't even have to look anymore when I was ready to advance the page. The back of the Kindle DX looks like brushed metal and is somewhat slippery. You will probably want to purchase a silicone case or a decorative skin to improve your grip. Otherwise you'll probably find yourself gripping the Kindle DX quite tightly, to prevent accidental drops, which can quickly become uncomfortable -- especially if you tend to read for long stretches of time.'

Trusted Reviews have published a review of the Amazon Kindle 3 (3G+WiFi) eReader.' 'At 190 x 213 x 8.5mm and 247g, the Kindle 3 is both 21 per cent smaller and 15 per cent lighter than its predecessor, the 6in 800 x 600 pixel e-ink display also has a 50 per cent better contrast ratio with crisper fonts while page turns are 20 per cent faster. Amazon doesn't supply specific figures to back-up these claims, but in direct comparison to the Kindle 2 they are apparent. What this adds up to is the best eBook reader display we've seen. Its 16 shades of grey make it adept at displaying images where necessary and sunlight poses no problems whatsoever. In fact the Kindle is easier to read in bright sunlight than a book since white pages can be prone to glare.'

A review of the Amazon Kindle 3 WiFi/3G eReader has been posted over at Tablet PC Review. 'First, aesthetics. One of the things I noticed straight away about the slightly revamped design of the Kindle 3 (apart from its diminished size, which, in this case, is a good thing -- no "Kindle 2 envy" here) are the improvements the great minds at Amazon have made with regard to the device's five-way controller. Whereas the previous Kindle's controller had the bulky look and feel of a joystick, the new design offers four slim buttons that navigate you up, down, left or right, with the fifth "enter" button residing squarely in the cent.'

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.'

PC World have published a review of the Amazon Kindle (Wi-Fi, 3rd Generation) eReader. 'The new Kindle looks vastly different. For starters, it now comes in graphite, like its big brother, as well as in white; in my experience, the darker border enhances readability, as would be expected given the visual perception a dark border provides. But the display itself is dramatically better: Like the Kindle DX (Graphite), the Kindle now has a 6-inch E-Ink Pearl display, which boasts faster refresh rates and 50 percent better contrast. As on the Kindle DX (Graphite), blacks look more solid, and text is smoother. The physical design is smaller, too--by 21 percent, according to Amazon. If you look at the numbers alone, it doesn't feel as if that much has been shaved off: The new model measures a stout 7.5 by 4.8 by 0.34 inches, versus the 8 by 5.3 by 0.36 inches of the Kindle 2. But the difference felt more dramatic when holding the device (an act also made easier by the rubberized backing).'

PC Advisor have published their review of the third-generation Amazon Kindle. 'The Amazon Kindle 3 comfortably hold a Kindle e-reader in one hand. At 246g, the Kindle is not the lightest such device on the market, but it is lighter than Barnes & Noble's Nook. And the new Kindle is 15 percent lighter than its predecessor; between its lighter weight and its more compact design, we could immediately tell that using the third-generation Kindle would be a more pleasing experience than with earlier models. The unit felt very balanced in-hand, and the buttons felt like they were in convenient, ergonomic places (more on that in a moment).'

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Amazon Kindle DX (2010) ereader. 'Along with the eInk display update, Amazon also gave the outside of the Kindle DX a paint job. The enclosure is now graphite-colored, which comes off as striking when compared to the plain white of the first-gen DX and is also less likely to attract smudges. Otherwise, the DX remains the same as before. The 10.4 x 7.2 x 0.4-inch device weighs 18.9 ounces, and is only 2.4 inches wider and 1.9 inches longer than the Kindle 2. It doesn't fit easily into a purse, but it slips into a messenger or backpack without adding much bulk or weight. Two stereo speakers sit on the rear of the device, and a 3.5mm headphone jack is at the top.'

MobileTechReview have published a review of the Amazon Kindle DX Graphite ebook reader. 'The Kindle DX Graphite is Amazon's second generation super-sized 9.7" ereader. The "standard" size Kindle 2 has a 6" display, as do most popular readers currently on the market (these 6" readers don't have the new Pearl enhanced contrast display). That much larger screen allows for way fewer page turns and PDFs that are readable without zoom. The drawback? The DX certainly won't fit in the average purse nor any pocket known to man, and it's heavier. At 18.9 ounces, you'll want to prop it on your leg or against a table for hours of reading. Though it's only 5 ounces lighter than the iPad, it feels significantly lighter, and the Kindle is thinner at 0.38". The two devices' height and width are similar, with the Kindle being a bit taller but narrower.'

IT Reviews have published their review of the Amazon Kindle DX Global Wireless Edition digital device. 'The Kindle DX Global Wireless Edition plays music, so you can listen to tunes while you read, and it has a 3.5mm headset slot. Do so, though, and you will considerably shorten the battery life. Amazon rates it as good for one week's reading use with wireless turned on, two weeks with it turned off. We found this to be pretty close to the mark. The large screen and keyboard mean this is a fairly hefty device to carry around - it weighs 530g, and it is far too big for a pocket. We also found it a little unwieldy to hold; we definitely prefer smaller format ereaders. But on the plus side, the reading controls are large and easy to use, and we've already noted the benefits of the sizeable screen.'
