If you are reading this then its not highly improbable that you are an avid reader. Friends this device is last stop for you. It stand apart from the likes of tablets as it is not one. it is just meant exclusively for books and nothing else. I wouldn't compare it with other reading devices as I have not used them nor they are so readily available in India whem compared to this device.
Firstly, the build quality, I have to say that this device is molded out of high quality materials, and feels nothing less than the legacy nokia handsets when you hold it.
Screen it has a 6 inches e-ink display. Now this is not what you'll find on every device it is just found on e-readers as this display feels just like a paper. The display is good and ppi is upto the mark, which is sufficient for reading.
Battery life this is the most crucial thing fora e-reader, and according to my usage which includes and hour or so of daily usage it lasts for about 3 weeks(wifi on everytime). I feel this is sufficient for most of us.
Books and storage Kindle devices generally comes with an internal(non-expandabe) storage of 4 GB(it varies from mode to model). It might look low on spec sheet but believe me it is not. This is due to the fact that the format Kindle uses(AZW) has books in the size range of kBs to few MBs. I have almost 20 books in my kindle and so far, I think, not even used 10% of its available storage. Coming to books, Amazon is known to have the largest collectio of books out there spanning across all genres.
Kindle in India starts at Rs 5999/- but it is worth every penny for a regular reader and book lover.
