Amazon Kindle: The Different Functions And Features
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 comes with 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 states. The WiFi permits access to the web or the Kindle store, only when you are near a WiFi hotspot.
However , the WiFi has a major advantage : its price . It available at the insanely low price of $139, which means that it’s 50 dollars 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 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 inbuilt dictionaries for American and English English.
You have the ability 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 e-books at your Computer, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, BlackBerry, Android mobile and tablet Personal computer by syncing the bookmarks and notes to your Kindle ( it needs Internet connection ).
Instead of a page number, there are locations. You can flick thru the table of contents, the transition to location, the return to previous location and of course, you may 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 US.
Accessories :
With this device you get the USB cable wanted to connect to a computer, but you do not get any case for the gizmo. But it is not very safe to carry the equipment unprotected. Another drawback is that the charger that comes with the device doesn’t support the voltage in Europe. So , if you live in Europe you will have to charge the device only through your computer ( happily the battery lasts for around a month ). You may choose to buy an adapter for European sockets from Amazon at an exceedingly minimal cost.
This year, if you are planning to buy an ebook reader, you should definitely consider the Amazon Kindle.
