Kindle 6″ Wi-Fi 3G e-reader review

In this age of e-readers you no longer need actually paper to read books. The advantages of using an e-reader as compared to an actual book are many. With the number of e-readers that have been introduced recently, the need for you to spend hours at bookstores hunting for that book you have been looking for is eliminated. The convenience of e-readers is only topped by their environmental friendliness. E-readers also eliminate the necessity of cutting trees for the production of books. On an average twenty-four trees are felled to manufacture a book. With the environment in the condition that it is, it is time that you do your bit for the environment by going green with e-readers.

There are a number of e-readers in the market today. However, it is the general consensus of most reviewers and the public that the Kindle e-reader takes the cake when it comes to quality, convenience and class. This one is the number one choice, hands down and is miles ahead of any other competitor. The Kindle e-reader has a smooth sleek design that reeks of technology and innovation. The plethora of advantages that you get through the use of the Kindle e-readers is not available anywhere else. It is an extremely fast and mobile device. Being portable, it can be used anywhere and anytime.

The design of the Kindle e-reader is flawless. It is extremely thin, just a mere 0.335 inches thick. It is feather light and very comfortable to hold. The advantage of having an e-reader is that it actually replaces the countless heavy books that you would have to carry around otherwise in one light package. We all love books, but it must be admitted that physical copies of each book would be cumbersome and much more of a bother.

Although a touchpad is not in the offing, the Kindle e-reader offers a screen with one of the highest resolutions that is sure to make you feel like you are actually reading text from paper and not an electronic device. The screen is made in such a way that it eliminates any possibility of glare so that you can read comfortably in sunlight and not have to worry about the lighting. Another plus is the size of the screen. The screen is a good 6″. This gives you the illusion that you are reading an actual paperback.

The Kindle e-reader is made for convenience. It allows users to navigate easily without confusion. When the device is not in use, a screen saver appears that is typically the cover of some book. It is rare for the same screensaver to appear twice.

In addition to books, the Kindle e-reader allows you direct access to newspapers, blogs and magazines that you can read with utmost ease. Books and newspapers can be downloaded with amazing speed, since Kindle is equipped with access to the Kindle store. Now that the Kindle is Wi-Fi and 3G enabled, it has enhanced connectivity making things even simpler for you.

E-reader comparisons – Kindle 2 and Nook

The best thing about e-readers is the fact that you are reading. We all know the “absorption” factor when reading something interesting. Whether you are reading an article in a magazine or newspaper, a short story, fiction or non-fiction; when you are absorbed in the subject matter, the material world falls away. You don’t register your surroundings – you don’t hear people call your name, noises, temperature or anything else outside of the book or magazine. You forget you are holding a magazine, you forget you are turning the page. It’s like the words are beaming straight into your brain. Well, the good thing about the new generation e-readers like the Nook and the Kindle2 is that the same thing happens to you! Whether you have downloaded a novel, self-help book, magazine or newspaper, when you are reading on your Kindle 2 or Nook, the outside world falls away. You cease to register the outside world, you forget you are holding a device or touching a button to turn the page. Just like when reading a paper book!

There are a few differences between the Nook and the Kindle 2 – and there are similarities as well. The e-ink is exactly the same technology. The display screens are the same size. They both allow you to download wirelessly. They are a similar size. They cost the same. Now for some of the differences: the Nook is heavier, and thicker. The Kindle 2 only has one font (Nook has three), but you can change the font size. The Kindle 2 doesn’t have WiFi capability, but with 3G and WiFI, the Nook lets you browse the ebook store with whichever system is available. You can expand the memory on the Nook with a microSD card slot. Kindle 2 doesn’t offer this capability, but since you can offload into your account archives, it shouldn’t be a problem. The Nook allows you to lend books you have purchased, the Kindle 2 doesn’t. The battery lasts a lot longer between recharges on the Kindle 2.

There are several highly technical differences between the formats supported on both devices, although they each allow you to download free books from sources other than their own stores. You can find out more by playing with the Nook at Best Buy, and the Kindle 2 at Target, or read more on their respective websites.

One of the best things is that you can now add skins to both the Kindle 2 and the Nook!

IPad or Kindle? How to Choose the Best EReader For Your Needs

Kindle Vs iPad: Which Device is Right for You?

The past couple years have been an interesting time for book readers. We have seen quite a few eReader devices released from companies like Amazon, Sony, and Barnes and Noble. Amazon’s Kindle always seemed to stand head and shoulders above the rest, particularly because of their wide selection. Now that the iPad has been released, another major player has entered the eReader market. It is still unclear who the ultimate winner will be. This article will take a look at some of the differences between Amzon’s Kindle and Apple’s iPad.

1. Full Color Vs. Black and White

While the Kindle utilizes an e-ink black and white display, the iPad uses a full color computer display. While you might think that this makes the iPad a clear winner in this regard, it’s not as simple as that. The e-ink display is actually easier on your eyes. Reading long form books on computers has never really caught on, partly because of the eye-strain it causes. The iPad display, on the other hand, will certainly be much more attractive. It will also be possible for authors to include extras in their books that would never be possible with a Kindle. You might expect exclusive author interviews or a full-color interactive map of Middle Earth when you are reading Lord of the Rings.

2. Battery

One thing that has contributed to the rave reviews of the iPad is its long battery life. You can use the device for up to ten hours at a time. While this is pretty good, the Kindle’s battery life is even better. The Kindle can hold a battery charge for up to 2 weeks as long as the wireless connection isn’t turned on. Ten hours will probably be plenty of battery juice as long as you can charge it up every night, but if you often take long vacations off the grid, the Kindle may be the better choice.

3. Selection

This has always been perhaps the most important factor in an eReader. If you don’t have access to the book you want to read, then what is the point of having an eReader? This has also been the primary reason that Kindle has always been number one. After all, Amazon is the worlds #1 bookseller, so it is natural that they would have the largest selection of books for the Kindle. However, the iPad book selection is practically guaranteed to surpass that of the Kindle. The reason is that in 2009 Amazon developed a Kindle App for Apple. This app allows users to access the Kindle Store and download books directly to their iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad. iPad users will not only have access to the Kindle store, but they’ll also have access to Apple’s new iBookstore. If an iPad user can’t find the book he wants in the iBookstore, he can simply peruse over to the Kindle store to find it. Kindle users won’t have this luxury.

4. Book Prices

For much the same reason as above, iPad users will always be able to get the best book price. While Kindle users will be forced to pay the price at which Amazon offers the book, iPad users will be able to compare prices between the two stores.

5. Weight

The Kindle easily wins this one. One thing many iPad users have noticed is that the device is heavier than they expected. While much of this can be attributed to the quality of the device, the fact is that your arms and hands may grow weary from holding 1.5 lbs in front of you for a long period of time. The Kindle weighs less than half as much as the iPad, and it is much more comparable in weight to a standard sized paperback.

Overall Conclusion:

Although there are pros and cons to each device, overall the iPad is probably a better value for most people. The book price and selection is a huge factor for the heavy reader. Additionally, while the Kindle is a dedicated book reader, the iPad also includes the functionality of a full computer. You can watch videos, run applications, and browse the full internet.

Apple’s Plan to Enter the E-reader Market

admin    Misc     Apple’s, Enter, Ereader, Market, Plan

There has been a rapid development in the e-reader world where many have just recognized the power of e-books, although rumors abound regarding Apple’s plans for this field in which are as yet uninvolved.  Apple are due a new product shortly and there has been a great deal of activity, both in development and verbally.  All that remains to be seen is the form that the expected new product will take.

It is almost a given that e-reader capability will be incorporated but whether or not this will be the main focus of the product is unknown.  It is highly unlikely, however, since Apple have not professed a great desire to enter the eBook reader market in recent months. Whether or not this is a subterfuge however, will be established only when the new product is unveiled. Will be it be a tablet with e-reader functionality, or an e-reader that can also do other things?  The consensus is the former.

In a January 2008 media interview, founder Steve Jobs stated that the Amazon Kindle was not finding significant use by Americans and that Apple intended to enter the market with a new e-book reader that would serve their needs. He recently told the New York Times that Apple aren’t interested in a single-purpose eBook reader, so there is a wealth of predictions of what Apples’ new product will be.

While we are still waiting, it would make sense for Apple’s planned new tablet to be released before Christmas, and even more likely that it will incorporate an eBook reader as part of a multi-purpose application platform. It has been heard that this will incorporate the iPhone operating system, either as currently or in a modified form. Some, however, are quoting the first quarter of 2010 for the main launch, with details of the hardware being released in advance of that to allow manufacturers to develop applications, as Apple did in 2007 with the iPhone.

The current buzz is that it will have a 9.6 inch color screen using OLED technology, although others have mentioned a 13 inch tablet. The rumors possibly arose from a leak earlier this year that LG were working on a 10 inch OLED touch-screen for a new Apple tablet. As it was described in article “How to Choose the Most Suitable e-Reader” (Digital Book Readers), the Kindle DX offers a 9.7 inch grayscale screen, and it has also been reported that 9.6 inch color touch-screens are being assembled in Taiwan for Apple.

This might or might not figure with the belief that Apple will focus on its e-reader capability with a $500 price tag, but others expect a launch at $800 with a more complex product offering e-book readability as only one of many of the capabilities that the reputed OLED product could also provide.

As discussed earlier, the Apple screen is said to be using OLED (organic light-emitting diode) technology in the screen, similar to that used with TVs, and incorporating new touch software that allows the user to turn pages easily, and enlarge them with the use of two fingers, and also that it will be suitable for both books and newspapers. It is conceivable that the technology can enable press advertising to contain links that will enable the reader to directly access advertisers’ websites. It has also been rumored that a low-cost subscription will be applied for access to newspapers and books, although the problems of price for downloaded products  that has beset the music world might also intervene.

It is likely that the hardware prices being quoted are too high for a dedicated e-reader, and it is highly unlikely that Apple would fail to incorporate music and games technology into any new product. Whether this is fact or fancy remains to be seen, but what is fact is that the competition is not sitting around waiting. There will be a few new products in the stores this Christmas, and Apple’s competition will be different to what it was when they began their development.

What is also true is that many people are awaiting the new product with a great deal of anticipation. Will it be a burst bubble, or will it blow the competition away? Naturally, Apple is saying little, but the iTunes store has just introduced a comic book called “Mayhem” which is currently available with one song from the store.

Is this an indication of the future?
