Choosing Between Amazon Kindle 3G And Wifi Only
Amazon’s Kindle 3 has caught everyone’s attention. There two models available : the Kindle 3G ( 3G + WiFi ) and the Kindle WiFi only.
What is the difference between Kindle 3G and WiFi?
The 3G version comes with two color 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 100 nations. The WiFi permits access to the web or the Kindle store, only when you’re close to a WiFi hotspot.
Nevertheless the WiFi has a major advantage : its price . It available at the ridiculously low cost of $139, which implies that it’s fifty greenbacks less expensive 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 can also simply adjust the file to the width of the screen. The contrast can also be changed for a better reading experience.
You can set bookmarks, highlights, keep notes, and search the text ( the search function is not possible in PDFs, because they are scanned as images ). There are two inbuilt dictionaries for American and English English.
You have got the capability to change the font size and type, the length of the lines and the characters, but you cannot use your own font types unless you unlock the gadget.
You can use the free applications offered by Amazon to read the e-books at your P.C, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, BlackBerry, Android mobile and tablet Personal computer by syncing the bookmarks and notes to your Kindle ( it needs Internet 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 of course, you can use the buttons for the next and previous page that are on either 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 is applicable to the U. S. .
Accessories :
With this device you get the USB wire needed to connect to a PC, but you don’t get any case for the gadget. But it’s not extraordinarily safe to carry the equipment vulnerable. Another downside is that the charger that comes with the device does not support the voltage in Europe. Therefore if you live in Europe you will have to charge the device only thru your personal computer ( fortuitously the battery lasts for roughly a month ). You can also choose to buy an adapter for EU sockets from Amazon at an exceedingly low cost.
This year, if you are planning to buy an ebook reader, you must definitely consider the Amazon Kindle.
