Despite being designed to display e-books, Amazon's reader also comes with a full keyboard. Unlike Sony's product, Amazon's Kindle will let users type up their own documents or edit existing ones. No details on what formats the Kindle will be able to save to have been released. The following are its specifications:

• Screen: 6-inch monochromatic 4-level gray scale LCD
• Resolution: 600x800 pixels
• Storage: 256MB internal
• Expansion: SD slot
• Audio: built-in speaker with 3.5mm stereo jack
• Connectivity: EV-DO/CDMA wireless, USB 2.0
• Size: 4.9-inches by 7.5 inches, 0.7 inches thick
• Weight: 10.2 ounces

The Kindle is larger than Sony's Reader primarily because of the keyboard. The Kindle also has wireless connectivity, which the Reader does not. The Kindle will be manufactured by Hon Hai Precision, which is otherwise known as Foxconn. No release date has been announced.
