The Ideal eBook Reader Today: Amazon Kindle
Amazon’s Kindle three has caught everyone’s attention. There 2 models available : the Kindle 3G ( 3G + WiFi ) and the Kindle WiFi only.
What’s the difference between Kindle 3G and WiFi?
The 3G version includes two colour options : graphite and white. The WiFi is available in Graphite only. Also, the 3G gives you mobile connectivity anywhere you are and access in over one hundred nations. The WiFi allows access to the web or the Kindle store, only when you are close to a WiFi hotspot.
However , the WiFi has a major advantage : its price . It available at the stupidly low price of $139, which implies that it’s 50 bucks cheaper than the 3G and it offers almost the same features.
Some of the common features of the two new ebook readers :
PDF files can be viewed at their real size or with a zoom of 150%, 200% and 300%. You may also simply adjust the file to the width of the screen. The contrast may also be changed for a better reading experience.
You can set bookmarks, highlights, keep notes, and search the text ( the search function isn’t possible in PDFs, because they are scanned as pictures ). There are two built-in dictionaries for American and British English.
You have the capability to change the font size and type, the length of the lines and the characters, but you can’t use your own font types unless you unlock the machine.
You may use the free applications supplied by Amazon to read the ebooks at your Computer, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, BlackBerry, Android mobile and tablet Computer by syncing the bookmarks and notes to your Kindle ( it requires Net connection ).
Rather than a page number, there are locations. You can browse through the table of contents, the switch to location, the return to previous location and obviously, you may use the buttons for the subsequent and previous page that are on each side of the gizmo.
Kindle is available in graphite and white, with the same technical characteristics.
The guaranty is for one year. The extended guaranty is for two years, but only applies to the US.
Accessories :
With this device you get the USB cable needed to connect to a computer, but you don’t get any case for the gadget. However , it is not extremely safe to carry the hardware unguarded. Another drawback is that the charger that comes with the device doesn’t support the voltage in Europe. Hence if you live in Europe you’ll have to charge the device only through your computer ( happily the battery lasts for roughly a month ). You may also opt to buy an adapter for EU sockets from Amazon at an exceedingly lower cost.
This year, if you are planning to buy an ebook reader, you must definitely consider the Amazon Kindle.
