The Kindle Touch includes an “X-Ray” feature that lets users drill deeper into books to find people mentioned, interesting phrases, and more. The feature takes advantage of Shelfari to find additional information about the content users search.

Amazon said the Kindle Touch offers a two-month battery life, and that page turns in books are managed by taps instead of swipes. It also foregoes any buttons on the front of the device and instead uses only on-screen taps for controls.
