A Kindle is a digital reading device from Amazon. Since 2007, several types and models of Kindle devices have been produced and sold by the retail giant.
How to Use a Kindle (Complete Beginner's Guide)
The first Kindle came out in 2007 with one main goal: to make e-books mainstream. It sold out within five hours and wasn't back in stock until spring 2008.
The first Kindle devices did not have touch controls, but did have a keyboard (similar to BlackBerry devices). The launch of the fourth generation Kindle by Amazon in 2011 was the first to replace the keyboard with touch controls.
As the Kindle evolved over the years, more and more impressive features were added to the design, including a backlit display for reading in the dark, better page turning functionality, a higher-density E Ink display for a bright and clear reading experience (comparable to reading an actual book), and increased storage space.
