My new Kindle 3 arrived today. I love new toys so I’d been eager for it to arrive. They’re now taking orders for delivery in mid-September so I’m glad I ordered early.

I took a few photos as I unpacked and unwrapped the new ereader so you could see how it looks. After it charges, I’ll do some comparisons between it and the Kindle 2 I already have so I can report back.

The box the Kindle 3 came in.

The box opened with contents spread out. That’s the Kindle, a charge cable, a getting started guide and the form-fitted package insert.

The cover I got for the Kindle 3 inside its open package.

The face of the Kindle 3. It still has its protective plastic on, so it looks a bit weird.
