Is the Kindle 2 Worth the Money?

Kindle 2 versus the Sony e-book reader

With so many people creating a buzz about the Kindle 2, it was only a matter of time that another company would create their own version and try to pull it off as better then the Kindle 2, or at least comparable to. The thing is though, before you make any snap decisions on which product you should go with based on the price factor alone, make sure that you are looking at all of the features of each product. Know what it is that you are paying for. You will probably learn very quickly that you get what you pay for in life and that is no different when it comes to Kindle copycats.

The Sony e-book reader is quickly making some friends but it is only because people are not looking deep enough into the product. For starters, the most obvious difference between the Kindle 2 e-book reader and the Sony e-book reader is that the Sony version is cheaper. Kindle 2 retails for $359.00 while the Sony e-book reader is $299.00. For those who consider themselves savvy shoppers, this may make a bell go off in their head. Those who really want to make sure that they are getting their monies worth should look further into the comparison though.

You get what you pay for. The Sony e-book reader has enough storage space to store 160 ebooks. This sounds great and all but the Kindle 2 can store over 1,500. This is an obvious difference between the two. Since the Sony e-book reader is not able to hold as many books, it is no wonder that it is maybe an inch or two smaller. Of course there are additional memory cards for the Sony Reader that you can pay for which will give you a little more storage space. But this is still nothing compared to the amount of books the Kindle 2 can hold.

Another thing that should be taken into consideration between the two models is that both realize you will need to make use of an AC Charger. The Kindle 2 includes that power adapter along with the USB cable, a quick start guide, and a rechargeable battery for the price of the unit. The Sony e-book reader does not. They recommended that you buy the AC charger for an additional cost but all they include with their purchase price is a case to carry the reader in, a USB cable, and a quick start guide. If you want to buy the AC adapter so that you can actually make use of your purchase then that will cost you another $29.99.

So when it comes to purchasing an e-book reader, whether it is for yourself or for someone that you care about, you want to make sure that you are getting the most for your money. After all, these are not the times we should be casually spending our money with no regards to what we are actually getting. For something that will surely entertain and be worth the purchase, the Kindle 2 is the way to go.

Amazon Kindle DX - It's Bigger But is it Better?

You may or may not know that Amazon has come out with another New Kindle Ereader. That's now 3 Kindles in total that Amazon has for sale, each have their differences and one might be better for you than another.

I love to read and decided on the Kindle 2 for my reading habits but if the Kindle DX was a little cheaper I would have probably gone with that one.

You can buy a Kindle 2 for about $259, if you want the larger Kindle DX you are going to have to pay about $489.

That big difference in price will be enough for most people to only consider the Kindle 2, but if you can afford it and you like to have or need to have PDF's files, the DX might be the better choice.

The viewing area for the Kindle 2 is 6", while the DX viewing area measures a massive 9.7". For anyone that needs to use a larger font size on the Kindle DX, you will find that you can use the larger font size and still have a good amount of content per page displayed per page view. What I mean by that is when using the Kindle 2 and using one of the two largest font sizes the amount of text displayed per page is greatly decreased. Less text per page means more page turns than if you were using a smaller text size.

My eyes are not what they used to be so I find myself using the second and the third largest font sizes for my best viewing. When I increase the font size you know right away that you are going to have to turn the pages more often as their just isn't as much text per page as on the smaller font settings.

The Kindle 2 weighs in at just over 10 ounces, that's a little less than the weight of a 12 ounce can of soda. Its a good weight and easy to get comfortable with, I find my Kindle 2 easier to hold for long periods of time than a regular paper book.

The Kindle DX weighs in at about 19 ounces, its almost twice as heavy as the Kindle 2 but still its much easier to hold onto than a long paper back or for sure easier to hold onto than a hard back book.

The Kindle DX has a smaller Keyboard, it has all the same buttons but everything is just a little smaller, that gives you more room for the large display. I think the DX keyboard is a nice size, the Kindle 2 with a larger area used for the keyboard works fine, it doesn't seem over sized or anything like that, but if it were smaller it would be just as easy to work with.

The DX only has the page forward and page back buttons on the right side of the unit where as the Kindle 2 has the page turn buttons on both the right and the left sides. I like being able to hold my Kindle with either hand and find myself switching from hand to hand frequently. I'm sure I would get used to only using my right hand to hold the DX but its not that bad to hold it with your left hand and than when ready reach up with your right hand and turn the page.

Another big thing that is different from the Kindle 2 and the DX is the amount of memory that each unit has built in. Amazon says the Kindle 2 will hold about 1500 books, news papers or magazines or whatever and that's plenty for me. I like to read but 1500 books is a lot of books!

Amazon says the Kindle DX will hold up to 3500 books or newspapers or magazines or PDF files or whatever.

It would take me forever to fill up the DX but for those of you that are serious book collectors you might some day run out of room for more. One very nice thing that Amazon does is keep a copy of everything you have that you bought from the Amazon store. If you run out of room you can delete books and make room for more and feel fine because if you want it back you can download it again from Amazon for free.

Thats the basic run down of the differences between the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX, which one you choose will depend of your individual wants and needs.

I use a Kindle 2 myself and bought it when the DX was said to be available soon. Because of the price and the fact that I don't really have a need very often to read PDF files, if I were to do it again I would probably buy the Kindle 2.

Kindle Covers - Protection and Self Expression

Kindle covers are among the most sought after accessories of the Kindle reader. It is very rare to see a Kindle owner toting his or her reader without it's cover. Aside from protecting the gadget from the dreaded scratch, Kindle covers also play quite a role in fashion and prestige. A variety of choices are available. One may opt for the more practical covers, yet others may demand fashionable products. Some may want exclusivity by having the more expensive of the choice. Worry not if you are going for the fashionable or prestigious choice as they are just as equipped as their practical counterpart.

Practical Kindle Covers
Kindle covers which fall into this category are usually those serving the need of scratch protection. They may be made of leather, canvass or other sturdy materials. Some simply hold your Kindle inside the cover, some encase the gadget neatly, some others come with extra pockets and a pen holder for your ultimate convenience. Some come with an extra standing feature, enabling your Kindle to stand at an angle most comfortable for you to read without having to hold the gadget. Astute designs also feature waterproof covers to protect your Kindle from water and the elements.

Prices start from $29.99. Reviews declare such a price as good value. The cover is thin and sleek yet adequately padded for protection. Encasing on the inside gives extra security, preventing the gadget from bumping around.

Fashionable Kindle Covers
Edgier choices are available for readers who like to make a fashion statement with their Kindle. Bold colors and graphic pattern on the covers are out there for fans to choose from. Color choice are numerous as well as pattern and the combination of it. A particular design even adopts the green theme, going for a recycled look on the front cover. The product naturally use eco-friendly material and process. Bargain buyers may find this category a shopping haven as these covers can go as low as $29.99!

Prestigious Kindle Covers
There are some beautiful covers available on the market, costing almost as much as the Kindle itself. They are a work of art and quite worth the price tag, provided you can afford them. Quality is assured as the materials are guaranteed to be strong and protective. Most covers which fall under this category are made of leather as it gives the best understated look of elegance, as required by the target market. Prices range at $99.99 to $119.99. Again, if it is still within your budget, they are worth the price.

Aside from covers, Kindle owners may also opt for the simpler sleeve to protect the gadget. Sleeve simply encase your Kindle when you are not reading, protecting the screen as well as the other parts of your reader. Kindle case is also another alternative of protection. The shape of Kindle case resembles that of a laptop bag. Usually your Kindle is strapped inside with a pair (or more) rubber bands, accessible by unzipping the case.

When it comes to style and needs, people have different take and taste. Whatever yours is, a Kindle cover out there is designed to suit it.

Publish Anything on Amazon's Kindle

How would you like to get your self published book carried by the world's largest bookstore? There's nothing to it. All you need to know is-Amazon.com and Kindle.

eBooks are definitely the wave of the future. Every author should be thinking about getting into this exploding market. The Kindle platform has emerged as the leader in the eBook field, and there couldn't be a better way to break into this market than through Amazon.

It has been a little over two years since Amazon brought out their famous Kindle eBook reader. The Kindle has come a long way since that first model was introduced. In fact, there are now three Kindle readers to choose from. This article isn't just about the Kindle reader though; it's about the content that's available for it. Notice I didn't say 'books' but rather, content. Everyone knows the Kindle is an eBook reader, but you'll find more than just eBooks in the Kindle offering.

You can publish just about anything on the Kindle. Actually, Amazon doesn't publish Kindle content at all; they distribute it...in Kindle format. Besides eBooks, you'll find newspapers, magazines, and even blogs readily available for Kindle download, which is how Kindle content is delivered. Wirelessly, no computer needed. If you can get a cell signal, you'll be able to download Kindle content.

If you wanted too, you could put your company's financial reports; your team's bowling scores, even your church newsletter on the Kindle. You can upload just about anything within reason. Amazon does have the final say, but you get the picture. Of course; eBooks are what Kindle does best. As an author, this new distribution channel is what really caught my attention. And it gets better!

Using the Kindle to distribute your books is an aspiring author's dream come true. I couldn't believe how easy it was for me to get my eBooks on-line and 'for-sale' in Amazon's bookstore. Not only is it incredibly easy, it's free! You just upload your manuscript to the Kindle DTP, (Digital Text Platform) fill in the needed information, (Title, description, author, selling price, etc.) and in a few days your eBook will be online and for-sale in the World's largest bookstore. You'll also get a free page for your author's profile.

Another thing that makes this an incredible deal is that you don't give up any publishing or author's rights. You retain everything. You can even go with other eBook companies at the same time and sell through their channels as well. Amazon only takes a percentage from eBooks they sell through the Kindle bookstore.

For self published authors, you'll have to do your own layout and cover design, but if you can write a book, this shouldn't present much of a problem. Besides, you can always farm out the cover design if you're not comfortable with your own artistic skills.

The bottom line is this...and it's especially true for self published authors, I can't think of a better way to enter the eBook arena than by working with Amazon and the Kindle eBook reader. And the price to get in the game couldn't be any better. ZIP!

Buy an Amazon Kindle - My Tortured Decision to Take the Plunge

Should you Buy the Amazon Kindle 2 or even the Kindle DX? That question tortured me for almost three months before Christmas and you may find yourself in the same boat as me... will the Amazon Kindle make me happier, saving me time and money or will it end up being another useless high tech gadget that goes unused like my treadmill (but that's another story). Or will it frustrate me to the point I want to throw it out. PCWorld said the Kindle was the most gifted item ever for Amazon this year but I never was a crowd follower, I just want my purchases to make sense and make me say hey, I LOVE this product and would never give it up even for chocolate cake.

Why I Resisted Buying an Amazon Kindle for so long

According to some statistic I read, somewhere in my travels across the internet doing research about ebook readers, we are going to be the last generation of "Real" books readers and that makes me sad. More sad than when vinyl records bit the dust..... Even textbooks will go the wayside and in five or so years college students will be saving their backs as Kindles and the likes replace those oh so heavy book laden backpacks and high school and middle school students will soon follow after that.

More importantly, I love the way books feel in my hand and the way they look...the colors and design of the cover...the way they look on my shelf... the way I can stack them on my nightstand to make me look like a voracious reader. Books are pretty and fun and I love to buy them when the budget allows. The Kindle is white and while I do love technology in all its glory...white is not even a good bra color unless your shirt is see through.

A Kindle does not make you look smart like a personal library does. I guess I have a romanticized view of the Library, think back to all the old movies with an actual Library in the house, maybe someone smoking a pipe as the wisdom of the ages poured through them....will Professor Plum ever be able to commit murder in the Library again. And what will happen to the real Library's, ( there currently is no sharing on Kindle books) will they pack up their dusty wares in the next twenty years?

Why I Took the Amazon Kindle Plunge

I won't bore you with all the amazing technical highlights of the Kindle, those specs can be found everywhere...but

1) My ultra environmental friend enlightened me with this point ( I do recycle religiously), the Kindle is Eco-Friendly, seriously never gave that a thought... where do all those unused books go especially the paperbacks. I feel good about not killing any trees or filling any landfills because of my Love for reading.

2) I am a Big Change My Mind girl....in fact going anywhere where I might read, I used to take at least 3 or four books especially on vacation. Because even if I think I know what I want to read out of my library at the time, when it comes down to the actual reading it's not what I want to read after all, not the mood I'm in. Crazy I know, but now instead of dragging along all those books I have my entire library with me at all times. I'll always be able to find something that hits my fancy.

3) My favorite thing about the Kindle is its Bookmarking and Notes feature! I was never the type to write in the margins of my books but always wished that I could find the things and quotes that struck me at a later date and that never happened. Now I can easily and this in itself has made the Kindle worth its weight in Gold to me. I can even export my notes for a nice little summary and can even import all those PDF's I collect across the internet and read them whenever and wherever I want.

4) The books especially the Bestsellers are cheaper and I never have to wait for the paperback, I never have to wait period because it takes less than 60 seconds to get a book and a lot of books are Free, my budget really likes that!

What was I waiting for???

I will never stop buying books that I can touch and feel until they no longer sell them but right now, you couldn't tear my Kindle from me, even if you offered me TWO pieces of chocolate cake.

Still not sure if the Amazon Kindle is right for you?

10 Reasons Not to Buy a Kindle

10 Reasons Not to Buy a Kindle

The Kindle Reading Device is Amazon's bestselling item for two years running.  According to Amazon it is "the most-wished for, most gifted, and has the most 5-star reviews of any product on Amazon."

So why would you not want to buy a Kindle?

Not comfortable with new technology. Some folks take to new technology like ducks take to water. They jump at the chance to make their lives more convenient and pleasurable though new technology like Kindle. Other folks are just the opposite.  Leaning to use new tech products doesn't come easy for them.  They may even like the idea of Kindle, but prefer to wait before buying. They read reviews and learn from their friends who use Kindle.



Older Kindles might become obsolete. Technology is changing fast.  Kindle has produced three generations of Kindle models since it was first introduced in 2007.  As Kindle introduces new features, users must decide whether to buy the new model. A competitor might introduce a new game changing  reader that will render Kindle obsolete.



Too expensive. After buying their Kindle reader, users pay for each book downloaded to their library. While Kindle books cost less than new books, the total cost over time is a concern for some people when they can borrow books from public libraries for free. Or they can buy used books..



Like the look and feel of real books. Pick up a real book. Look over its book jacket and illustrations. Thumb through its pages. Scan chapter titles. Turn real pages. People who enjoy this reading experience may not be satisfies with Kindle.



Kindle might crash.  Like all tech gizmos, Kindle could fail causing inconvenience and frustration while replacing the product.



Kindle might get damaged or broken. It could be accidentally dropped. Or something could be dropped on it. It could get wet at the swimming pool.



Kindle could get lost or stolen. This causes frustration and stress in searching for the lost Kindle, or replacing it.



Kindle may be hard on your eyes. Staring at a screen for too long can be hard on your eyes. So much time is already spent watching television and computer displays. Some studies have raised cause for concern about the effects of too much viewing on the eyes.



Battery. Your battery may die on you at the most inconvenient time, and you forgot to bring along your charger.



Inertia. Some folks are set in their ways.  They just don't' want to change how they read books.

?

Put your doubts aside. Consider a Kindle to elevate your reading pleasure.

The new Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device allows you find and download books and periodicals in less than 60 seconds from anywhere in the world that has 3G wireless coverage.

Top 5 Improvements in Amazon Kindle 2.0

Everyone is excited over the new Kindle 2.0 which was just released in New York. Here are the 5 best improvements that comes with the new Kindle.

1. Twenty-Five Per Cent More Battery Life

Now you can read on the Kindle for four days straight on a single charge, with the wireless on. Turn off the wireless, and you can take a trip for almost two weeks without worrying about the Kindle running out on you. The battery life varies based on wireless usage, such as shopping the Kindle Store and downloading content.

2. New Five-Way Controller

Kindle 2.0 comes with a clever five-way navigation controller that provides control of more functions. It also comes with the Menu and Back buttons right next to it. This replaces the old scroll wheel used in the first Kindle version, which was a bit of a hassle to use. The new controller makes selecting and highlighting text much easier.

3. New Next Page Button

It's a good thing Amazon paid attention to its customer feedback about the previous and next page buttons on Kindle 1 which were way to big and sensitive. Very likely, you'll accidentally press the buttons and turn the page when you don't intend to. Kindle 2.0 have smaller buttons, with the previous button smaller than the next button, which flex inwards, instead of outwards like in the previous version. This cuts down a lot of accidental page turns, which is a relieve for many Kindle lovers.

4. Sharper Graphics

Kindle 2.0 now boasts 16 shades of grey instead of 4 shades in the original Kindle. Text now look sharper, and less bleed around the letters as noticed in Kindle 1.

5. Sleeker Design

Kindle 2.0 is now 0.36 inches thick, or shall I say thin, compared to Kindle 1's 0.7 inches. They have also got rid of the rather horrid looking square angled keys and replaced them with smooth circular keys for the QWERTY keyboard.

Should I Buy A Kindle? My Kindle Review

The amazing Amazon Kindle is truly a revolution in reading. With this lightweight portable reading device, you can download books, newspapers and magazines all with a push of a button. It is completely mobile and wireless. You can catch up on the latest news or dive into your favorite book while camping, at the beach, or waiting at the doctors office. The Kindle is definitely for book lovers, tech geeks and gadget freaks like me. I travel a lot so the Kindle was an obvious choice for me because it is lightweight, portable, and can store up to 200 books (I tend to read a couple at time). What I like best is that it has an online dictionary, wireless access to Wikipedia and NO MONTHLY Fee (unless you have a subscription to a Blog, Newspaper or Magazine). Downloading books takes just a couple of minutes and the selection available from Amazon is enormous (currently over 120,000 books)

Why Buy the Kindle?

Just like at the bookstore, you maybe read the back cover and flip through a few pages to get the gist of the book. Well you can do even more with the Amazon Kindle! The Kindle lets you download and read the beginning of the books for Free! If you like what you see, then you buy it. What is even better is that you can read amazon book reviews to see what other people are saying about the book. You can't do that at the bookstore!

Kindle 2 - Is it Hip Or All Hype? - My Review

First let me say wow. The way that the Kindle 2 looks compared with its family is indescribable. It is so much better designed than the original Kindle. It is extremely smooth while being extremely easy to use. Some people knock the K2 but typically there is no comparison. So how did they figure out how good or bad it was? As far as I am concerned any one in their right mind will find the Kindle 2 both stylish and functional.

One of the biggest issues with both the Kindle 1 and 2 was centered on the battery life. The original Kindle had a very short and inconvenient life span. The Kindle 2 however has seen some improvement. There may be no replacement battery with the K2 however the battery charge life is a great deal longer especially when you turn the Wi-Fi off when not using it.

Imagine traveling anywhere you want in the US and still being able to download almost any book you want. I was at my daughter's soccer practice downloading books just the other day. There is nothing easier than look, pick, and click to download the book of your choice. Remember the slow load times on the Kindle 1? Gone! Amazon claims that the load time is 20% faster but I have a feeling it is faster than that.

What about the buttons on the K 1? It was too easy to hit the page button. Now with the Kindle 2 this has been greatly improved. Another improvement is in the weight of the unit. The Kindle 2 is much lighter than its predecessor. It weighs less than many typical paperback books.

You know how the K1 could be a bit difficult to read due to the lack of contrasting shades. The Kindle 2 though has 16 different shades of gray. This can help sharpen up the picture making it easy to read. Also, how about the capacity? The Kindle 2 can actually hold more than 1,500 books.

A point of contention among some is the Text-to-Speech function offered by the Kindle 2. The voice is not nearly the same as a person reading aloud. You can choose whether you want a male or female voice. You can also pick the speed of the reading.

With these pluses I feel that I must point a couple negative points out as well...

When I said that the Kindle 2 was light I did not exaggerate. It can be almost too much so. A nice Kindle cover can help to fix this though. It will add enough weight to give you the feel of holding a book.

Another issue has to do with people with big fingers. The size of the Kindle 2 keyboard is very restrictive. It is too easy to punch wrong letters when typing. I am hoping that this will be fixed by the addition of touch-screen to the next member of the Kindle family. There was a possibility of this capability on the Kindle 2 but it would have affected the screen quality.

We will just have to wait for the right combination of touch-screen and the e-ink technology. Just think of the increased screen size that could be on such a device!

Another issue for some, though I cannot see why, is the Kindle 2's lack of an SD card slot. This shouldn't be much of an issue though considering Amazon allows you full access to any materials you have bought. This means you can leave your books on Amazon servers and keep space on your Kindle 2 free for other things.

Perhaps the largest drawback of all with the device is the fact that you cannot buy one outside the US. Who knows why this is an issue? Some of the current rumors are saying that the Kindle family is going to start being released in Britain in time for Christmas so we shall see.

As far as giving the Kindle 2 a definite rating on a scale of 1-5 I would have to say it is between a four to a four and a half. The keyboard is the deciding factor that kept the device out of the five star spot. I personally think the K2 is great. Just look at the different reviews on Amazon and you will see that others feel the same way.

Amazon Kindle How-To Series - Help! My New Kindle 2 is Frozen!

One thing about electronic devices - they know how to put us in a panic every once in a while! The new Amazon Kindle 2 is no different - it sometimes seems to get possessed by one of those demons in the books stored deep inside it's memory. While the Kindle 2 is a very well designed and durable device, it is subject to strange behavior. The worst of these behaviors is when the Kindle 2 freezes-up. The pages don't turn, the screen saver won't turn-off no matter how many times you "Slide and release the power switch to wake".

There are a few things you can do to "unfreeze" your Kindle 2, but the best cure is a bit of prevention. First, let's get to the "unfreezing". In the Kindle 1 you have a few options to unfreeze your device:

A. Use the keyboard reset - hold down the ALT and SHIFT keys then press the "R" button.

B. Manually reset by remove the back cover and insert a paper clip (GENTLY) into the "Reset" hole to reset and unfreeze the Kindle.

C. Remove the battery (with the unit unplugged), turn on the power button to discharge the power in the Kindle, then reinstall the battery.

Unfortunately the new Kindle 2 does not have a keyboard reset, there is no manual reset using a paper clip, and the battery cannot be accessed. So you have one option left for unfreezing your Kindle 2. That is resetting the device using the Power button.

Before doing this it's a good idea to make sure your Kindle 2 is completely charged. Even if it is "frozen" it should still charge - that is the charging indicator should light when the charger is connected. If the charging indicator does not light-up check your plug and if that's OK contact Amazon Kindle support.

Once you are satisfied that your Kindle 2 is charged it's time to reset. To do this -

1. Remove your Kindle 2 from the charger.

2. Slide the power switch to the right and hold it there.

3. SLOWLY count to 15 (the switch has to be held in-place for at least 15 seconds).

4. Release the switch.

5. What will happen? At first NOTHING so don't panic.

6. After about 5 to 10 seconds the Kindle 2 will flash on and off several times.

7. The Amazon logo will appear along with a progress bar showing the Kindle is restarting.

8. Next the Hope page will load with the ebooks, audio books, and other media you've loaded onto your Kindle.

That's it! You should be back in business ready to read another book.

A few things to remember:

If you only hold the Power button to the right for five to 10 seconds you'll just turn the unit OFF. You have to hold the power button to the right for at least 15 seconds.

If the process above does not work - contact the Amazon Kindle support team. They are very helpful and may be able to do some other trouble-shooting on your device.

Now - how do you prevent your Kindle 2 from freezing in the first place?

Well, unlike the Kindle 1, the Kindle 2 does not like to be completely turned off and on. The unit goes into a screensaver power-down mode when not in use consuming very little power. Try leaving the unit on continually and take advantage of the power-down feature. This seems to prevent freeze-ups for many owners. Ok, ok, if you're flying please turn off your Kindle and wait until you get above 10,000 feet before turning on approved electronic devices. And please disable the wireless feature Kindle while flying!

One other thing you can do to prevent Kindle 2 freeze-ups is to make sure your battery doesn't fall below about 15% to 20% charged. The device seems to work better when the charge is above 20%. You don't have to charge your Kindle 2 everyday - in fact that is NOT recommended unless you need it. Just watch the power indicator and give your Kindle 2 a charge when the battery level falls below 20%.

OK - by now we trust you are back to enjoying your favorite ebook or audio book. Congratulations! You've learned how-to unfreeze your Kindle 2 and prevent future freeze-ups from happening.

8 Questions to Ask Before Buying the Kindle

Does the Kindle have all the features you're looking for in an eReader? Read on to decide if the Kindle is right for you and if it can help enhance your reading experience.

Do you have trouble reading small print?

You can adjust the font size on the Kindle to your preference. Many libraries and bookstores only have limited collections of large print books, but with the Kindle can now choose from any book in the Amazon Store and make it a large print book on your device. A simple push of the button increases the text size and helps eliminate eye strain. It makes reading a more enjoyable experience.

Do you want to save money on books?

Best sellers and new releases on Amazon are usually priced at $9.99, while titles with an older publication date typically sell for even less. When you think that the cost of a hardcover new release ranges from $25-$30, this is quite a bargain and the savings can really add up over time. You could practically buy another Kindle with the amount of money you would save by buying just one digital book a month instead of a print book. The savings multiple even faster when you take into account purchases of magazines and newspapers. For anyone who reads with any frequency at all, the Kindle will be sure to be a money-saver.

Do you not have room for a large book and collection and want to save space in your home?

The Kindle and the Kindle DX have the capacity to hold entire libraries of books. The Kindle's memory can accommodate up to 1,500 books, while the Kindle DX's memory can store up to 3,500 books. All books that you download remain in the Kindle library, in one convenient location. You won't have to go around asking your family members if they've seen your book lying around anymore, because you will know exactly where to find it. Just visit your Kindle library's Archived section to find anything you've ever downloaded.

Do you want to choose from a huge selection of books, with the opportunity to own thousands of free titles?

With over 450,000 books to choose from, the Kindle Store offers an amazing selection of books, magazines, newspapers, and blogs. There are also numerous third party sites that offer eBooks, many of which are free. Some of the most notable sites include Project Gutenberg, the World Public Library, and Mobipocket. Most of the titles on these sites are works that have gone out of copyright, so they are in the public domain and available at no cost. You can find a great selection of classics on many of these sites, with titles such as Pride and Prejudice, Treasure Island, and Crime and Punishment available for download.

Do you want to be able to read the same book on multiple devices?

You can find a number of free apps on Amazon's website that allow you to read digital content on devices other than the Kindle. The Kindle for iPhone, Kindle for PC, and Kindle for BlackBerry are currently available, and the Kindle for Mac application is in the works. Amazon's Whispersync technology means you can pick up where you were reading even when you switch devices. You can read your book on your iPhone while riding the train, then switch to your Kindle when you get home.

Read on whatever device suits your needs at that particular moment.

Do you want an easy way to make notes and mark important places in the text you're reading?

The Kindle comes equipped with a number of built-in tools. It has a digital highlighter, making it easy to note key passages you need to remember. You no longer have to dog-ear pages of a book, because the Kindle has a bookmark feature that marks the pages you wish to return to. A full QWERTY keyboard allows for note-taking. Those undecipherable scribbles in the margin are a thing of the past. Finally, the Kindle stores all notes and highlighting and you can view your additions across multiple devices.

Do you want the option to hear the text spoken like an audio book?

In the most recent version of the Kindle, Amazon has included an experimental Text-to-Speech feature that practically renders audio books obsolete. Any book, magazine, or blog you download, provided the publisher has granted permission, can be read aloud to you through the Kindle. Not only can the text be read, but you can choose how fast or slow it is spoken and whether you want a male or female speaker. The Kindle automatically turns the pages as the text is read, so there will be no confusion if you want to switch back to reading mode. You can start back up right where the reader left off.

Do you want to eliminate the need for your printer?

While the Kindle is great for personal reading material, it is also a great device for reading work documents. You can send Word and PDF documents as well as pictures using Whispernet to your unique e-mail address given to you by Amazon when you purchase your Kindle. You can then view your documents on the go. Currently documents must be in the following file formats: unprotected Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), PDF, HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files. This service is free if you transfer documents from you PC to your Kindle via USB, otherwise there is a small charge per megabyte of content sent.

Amazon Kindle 2 - Why You Need to Own One For Yourself

New kid on the block Amazon Kindle 2, the next generation digital reading platform from Amazon is in town. The Kindle design team has managed to outdo what most product developers wouldn't do - maintain everything that its users want and like about the original product; yet, addressing the user concerns that make the product more user friendly.

This new gadget still maintains the original's concept but now will come with a new sleek design, great portability, increased battery life, easier connectivity, 750% more storage space and supported by over 200,000 book titles, magazine, blogs and newspapers has been designed to cater for any everyone's taste this time around.

The new kindle has been truly designed with the end user in mind. The new generation kindle only 0.36 inches thick is lighter than most paperbacks weighing in at 10.2 ounces (abt 300g). This makes the device not only sleek but highly portable if you like reading on the go. The kindle also comes with an improved display which gives an enhanced paper view to the reader making the reading experience more real as if you are reading from your paperback.

Despite the portability, the new feature that will make every reader fall in love with this reader its connectivity. You can now download stuff in less than 60 seconds. For me the best part is not the download speed but the new wireless technology which has been inbuilt into this beauty. Using the same 3G technology as most mobile phones, you will be able to download whatever material - books, magazines, blog direct right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere with absolutely zero monthly fees or service plans. Gone are the days of kindle 1 where one had to hunt for wi-fi hotspots or fiddle around with a link cable, similar to the way users add songs to an iPod in order to move materials around.

One of the biggest enhancement to the Kindle has been the battery life. In its previous life, the kindle was notorious for draining off its power quite quickly but now you can expect to have 25% more battery life. With such massive battery power you can literally manage to read for days on end without recharging your unit.

The storage space has also been increased to 2GB, allowing you to store 750% more stuff on your kindle. One would expect that with such massive storage memory things like page loading will be compromised. Well the truth is that the pages now even load 20% faster than they did on the old version.

To support the increased storage space, the Kindle store has been populated with over 230000 titles which include over 90% of New York Time's bestsellers most of which are only priced just under $10. You can also populate the massive storage space with kindle blogs, kindle magazines and kindle newspapers to include bestsellers such as The New York Times, USA Today and wall Street Journal, Financial times, The Times and The Independent via subscription. You can also pick a 14day free trial at Amazon for these titles...

A totally new feature of Kindle 2 is its ability to read out loud to you thanks to the new "message to text feature" that has been bundled into the new design. You also now have an enhanced instant dictionary plus a new controller system which makes it easier to shift or "jump" between articles and sections of newspapers.

All in all, everything about the Kindle 2 is just cutting edge.

Kindle 3 Vs Kindle 2 Vs Nook - What Are the Kindle 3 Changes? How Does it Compete With the Nook?

Amazon is aiming to shake up the ebook reader market once again by announcing the 3rd generation of the Kindle, dubbed the Kindle 3. So what can you expect to see different when comparing the Kindle 3 Vs. the Kindle 2? Here's a detailed look.

The Kindle 3 Vs. Kindle 2:

The new Kindle 3 will have a few different features that differ from the earlier generation.

Change #1) Updated E-Ink Reading Screen- Amazon is reporting a new "High Contrast" model of the E-Ink screen, still allowing for reading in bright lighting conditions, but according to Amazon, improved.

Change #2) Storage Space Increase- The earlier Kindle 2 model had 2G of storage, allowing for 1,500 books to be stored on the device. The Kindle 3 will effectively double the space to 3,500 books allowed.

Change #3) Different (More Compact) Design- Amazon is going for the "sleeker" look. The new model takes away 21% of the Kindle 2 design size, keeping the 6 inch reading screen the same size. This also makes for a lighter ebook reader for the Kindle 3. According to Amazon, it's now 15% lighter.

Change #4) New Reading Fonts- Amazon is adding some more fonts that they call "crisper" and more dark for easier reading.

Change #5) Improved Page Turn Time- According to Amazon, the page turn time is 20% faster now with the 3rd generation.

Change #6) QUIETER Page Turn Buttons- My husband would like to hear this point, as my clicking the page turn button has kept him from falling asleep in the past. Apparently others have been complaining about this too and Amazon has taken notice.

Change #7) Increased Battery Life- Amazon is reporting an improved battery that allows up to 1 month of reading with the wireless off. With wireless left on, the reading time is 10 days. That is an increase in about 2 weeks with wireless off, and a few days with wireless on.

Other Notable Changes) Now you can choose between 2 different colors when purchasing the Kindle (black/graphite or white). You can share passages with people on Facebook or Twitter from your device. Use Whispersync to sync your Kindle with any of your other devices (phones, laptops, etc...)

The Kindle 3 Vs Nook- How Do The Changes Stack Up Against the Nook?

Battery Life- The Kindle 3 now has a battery life (with wireless off) of about a month. The Nook is at 10 days with wireless off.

Storage Space- The Nook has a standard memory size that allows 1,500 books with an expandable memory slot for SD cards. The Kindle 3 now has a standard memory of 3,500 books.

Size/Weight- The Nook has a weight of 12.1 ounces. The Kindle 3 is 8.7 ounces, quite a difference now. The dimensions of the reading screen are the exact same for both Nook and Kindle. The size of the Nook device is 7.7" x 4.9" x.5". The Kindle is now 7.5" x 4.8" x.335".

Touch Screen Vs. Push Button Navigation- The Nook has a 1" touch screen navigation menu as well as the push-button navigation for page turning, etc. The Kindle 3 is still sticking to it's push-button technology only as the means to navigate text and titles.

Wi-Fi, 3G, and International Usage- The Nook has free Wi-Fi in AT&T hotspots and Barnes and Noble stores. 3G only works in the US. The Kindle connects free to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots, as well as other free Wi-Fi hotspots. The Kindle works wirelessly across 100 countries and territories in the world.

So once again the ebook market is shaken up by innovation. You can see above there is quite a difference when comparing the Kindle 2 Vs. the new Kindle 3. Now the Nook vs Kindle 3 battle has begun. How will the consumer respond? Time will tell.

So Who's the Winner?

If you look closely at the changes with the Kindle 3, the changes have slightly "one-upped" the Nook across the board on a lot of features. The size, weight, battery life, and standard memory capacity have all been improved beyond the Nook standard capabilities.

But it still comes down to preference. A lot of people like the touch screen of the Nook, where others don't.

I personally still like the Kindle, and the new changes only solidify it's rank above the Nook in my eyes. The international coverage, battery life, and basic design is what makes it my favorite choice.

Kindle 3 Vs Sony Reader Writeup

In general, both kindle and Sony reader have some similar technology in terms of display technology i.e. E ink display, processor type, memory storage modes and memory medium like the memory sticks. Both can support a similar readability with zooming features and built-in fonts. Sony and Amazon are also considered as the earlier pioneers in supplying Electronics book readers solutions. With the increasing competition, the differences between Kindle and Sony Ebook Reader have also become obvious.

Let's discuss each of the features together.

Weight - Sony Book reader weighs 7.76 ounces while Kindle 3 weighs 8.7ounces. This may be due to the smaller 5 inches display size that Sony Reader offers which makes a better portability here.

Storage - Kindle 3 with larger 4GB built in memory can store about ten times more ebooks than what Sony reader can take, i.e 3500 kindle books vs 350 Sony ebooks.

Display Size - Reader has a smaller 5 inches display size as compared to Amazon Kindle 3. So you will need to determine if portability is more important than readability for your reading needs.

Grayscale - Kindle 3 has a better display quality with 16 levels as compared to 8 levels offered by the Sony Reader.

Battery Life - Kindle 3 can operate for around one month while Reader can operate only around 2 weeks. This is assumed without any wireless connection of Wifi or 3G.

Connectivity - Kindle supports both Wifi and wireless 3G connection while Sony Ebook Reader only can support USB2.0. Having Wifi And Wireless 3G features built-in are essential for accessibility reason. The Kindle can be operated alone without any computer. It contains an EVDO cellular 3G connection to the Internet over Sprint. Amazon's Kindle 3 offers the feature of Whispernet, free Internet access and free Wikipedia. On the other hand, Sony's reader lacks this key wireless feature. IT Savvy readers will not find Sony useful because you have to upload books into your reader before hand. For the Kindle, you can buy books whenever you want or get them free at a kindle store.

File Types - Kindle 3 supports more popular file types including HTML, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, MOBI, PRC, AA, AAX and MP3. Sony Reader supports only a small number of file types including ePub, Word, RTF, BBeB

Text To Speech - Kindle 3 can offer this awesome feature to help readers to read at anytime or anywhere even when the user is on the move or walking. What the user needs to do is to enable this text to speech mode and plugs its earpieces into ears for audio based reading.

Text Resize - Both ebook readers can support text resize function.

Sync to multiple devices - Sony Ereader is the only proprietary reader for its support file types. Kindle 3 with its free kindle application can support other devices like iPad, iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, PC and Mac.

Colors - Sony EReader has different colors like Navy Blue, Rose and Silver while Kindle 3 has white and graphite color selection.

Other features: Kindle 3 has shock protection feature which enables it to absorb the impact from falling down. Kindle 3 has over 620,000 selection of Kindle books from its Kindle Store which provides a huge selections of magazines, blogs and books.

Amazon Kindle Makes Reading a Joy

I happened to be watching the Oprah Winfrey show last October when she was enthusiastically introducing her audience to the Amazon Kindle. I was very impressed with this unique wireless reading device and its ability to make reading so enjoyable and convenient no matter where you are.

Since my husband is an avid reader, and I thought he would enjoy receiving a Kindle, it then became my choice of a Christmas gift for him. I ordered the Kindle immediately after the show and I couldn't wait for Christmas to arrive so I could present him with a Kindle of his very own!

His first reaction on Christmas morning was cautious enthusiasm. He thought that the Amazon Kindle would just be another one of those electronic devices that would be impossible to figure out how to use.

My husband was pleasantly surprised to find out that was not the case.

There are simple instructions enclosed with the Kindle plus there is a "manage your Kindle" installed on the device that makes it really easy to begin using your Kindle immediately.

Any questions he had were answered promptly by Amazon's Kindle support via e-mail or telephone. Amazon's service is first rate and he actually found it easy to use. Even for someone who is very skeptical using technical equipment and dealing with support.

Below are some of the key features that my husband found so appealing about the Amazon Kindle:

*Through the miracle of wireless technology, he was able to purchase a new book from Amazon and it arrived on his Kindle within 60 seconds at a discounted price to boot, without any additional fees.

*The Kindle weighs just 10.2 ounces and is lighter than a paperback and is only a mere 1/3 of an inch thick. He can flip through pages with fingertip control using either hand.

*He can take notes, make a bookmark, get word definitions from a built-in dictionary as well as play music while reading a book on his Kindle.

*No more cumbersome books in his attaché case, or hundreds piling up on the bookshelf.

*He can store more than 1,500 books on his Kindle. We'd need a much bigger house to store that many books!

*Amazon provides several very useful accessories for the Kindle: an attractive protective cover, which permits better grip and attachments for a night light, writing pad, pen and business card holders. He even ordered a light for late night bedside reading or for a darkened airplane flight.

*Daily newspaper subscriptions are available on the Kindle for many major US newspapers as well as a nice selection of popular magazines.

In addition, you get periodic updates from Amazon on new books available for the Kindle as well as older books that become available, along with the always helpful Amazon customer reviews.

This device is so exciting that I ordered the new up-graded Kindle 2 for myself. As an added bonus, If two users (up to six) are on the same account, a book downloaded to one Kindle may also be electronically downloaded to the other at no additional charge.

If you enjoy reading, then you really owe it to yourself to order an Amazon Kindle of your very own!

The Kindle

The Kindle is an easy to use ebook reader that is as comfortable to read from as a paper book or newspaper. Kindles have large, clear screens and QWERTY style keyboards that are perfect for making notes or sending messages. The latest versions of the Kindle are lighter and sleeker than their predecessors, making them more attractive than ever. Three different types of Kindle are available, each of which comes in a choice of graphite grey or white.

There are two Kindles with 6 inch screens. One Kindle wireless reading device comes with wifi access only, while the other has both wifi and 3G internet access. The 3G version offers users free 3G access worldwide, where a signal is available. The third model of the Kindle is the Kindle DX, which has a larger 9.7 inch screen. The DX features both wifi and 3G connectivity and benefits from the same free worldwide access as the smaller 3G version.

All three Kindles can store up to 3500 books. Battery life is longest for the wireless only 6 inch Kindle, and shortest for the Kindle DX. The DX still has a battery life of between two and three weeks, when wireless access is turned off, and of 7 days with wireless enabled. The Kindle wireless reading device also connects via a USB port to its power adapter or to a computer, for charging and data transfer.

The Kindle ebook reader has been designed to make reading comfortable and accessing books and other material quick and easy. The screen can be turned to read in either portrait or landscape. The special e-ink screen has excellent clarity for both text and images and, unlike a computer screen, it does not cause discomfort during long reading sessions. Since the screen is not backlit, it can also be read in bright sunlight without suffering from glare.

Books can be downloaded directly onto the Kindle, through the wifi or 3G internet connections. A new book can be downloaded in just one minute. Books and other files and documents can also be transferred to the Kindle from a computer. Any book that is downloaded to the Kindle can be read on all of your other devices, with which the Kindle can easily be synchronized.

Differences Between Kindle 2 and Kindle 1

In this article I explain the differences between the Kindle 2 and Kindle 1 wireless electronic book readers. The Kindle 2 is Amazon's 2nd generation wireless eBook reader and has a new design, updated display, more storage, and a 6 inch 600x800 pixel display that provides 16 shades of gray (the previous generation Kindle displayed just 4 shades of gray). Having the additional shades of gray makes the text clearer, just like a real book, and provides crisper images and photos.

The Kindle 2 is only 1/3 of an inch thick, weighs about 10.2 ounces (lighter than a typical paperback book), has 2G of internal memory and holds 1,500 books--almost 8 times as many as the previous generation Kindle.

 

There are other important differences between the Kindle 2 and Kindle 1. With the new Kindle 2, pages refresh 20% faster and it has 25% longer battery life. You can read for up to 4 days with wireless on, or up to 2 weeks with wireless off, before you need to recharge. The Kindle 2 fully charges in approximately 4 hours, and supports charging from your computer via the included USB 2.0 cable.

 

Additional differences between the Kindle 2 and Kindle 1 are you can change text size, add bookmarks and notes, read PDFs and Word documents, and even search the web. You can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Kindle has six adjustable font sizes to suit your reading preference. Using the QWERTY keyboard, you can add annotations to text, just like you might write in the margins of a book. You can also edit, delete, and export your notes. Using the new 5-way controller, you can highlight and clip key passages and bookmark pages for future use. You never need to bookmark your last place in the book, because Kindle remembers for you and always opens to the last page you read.

 

One of the key differences between the Kindle 2 and Kindle 1 is that the new Kindle has an experimental text-to-speech function that allows you to listen to books. With the new text-to-speech feature, the Kindle can read every newspaper, magazine, blog, and book out loud to you. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free. You can choose from both male and female voices which can be sped up or slowed down to suit your preference. In the middle of a great book or article but have to jump in the car? Simply turn on text-to-speech and listen on the go.

 

The Kindle 2 also includes free built-in access to Wikipedia.org, the world's most exhaustive and up-to-date encyclopedia. Looking up people, places, events, and more has never been easier.

 

Electronic books for the Kindle 2 cost about $10 and download in less than 60 seconds. The Kindle has 3G wireless which lets you download books right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere, with no monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots. The Kindle Store offers over 230,000 books, and you can purchase subscriptions that are delivered wirelessly. Newspaper subscriptions currently range from $6 to $15 per month and magazines range from $1.25 to $3.50 per month.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this article on the differences between the Kindle 2 and Kindle 1. If you're transitioning from a Kindle 1 to Kindle 2, all the content you currently have on your Kindle 1 can be synchronized to your Kindle 2 using Amazon's Whispersync technology.

Kindle 2 Reviews - Head Over Heels in Love With Kindle 2

Undoubtedly, the entire bottom line of e-reader technology and what I sought was ease and mobility. Given that wireless technology is now unremarkable, a measly run of the mill standard we permanently demand, Amazon made Kindle wireless. Kindle 2 uses cellular technology to transfer content to the device from Amazon.com. Unlike Sony, who didn't think to distribute content directly to their device, Kindle 2's sensible user interaction interface gives Kindle the edge. No wonder Kindle 2 reviews brag more than 15 000 buyer comments.

Kindle 2 consists of an effortless to use click button design. Its small joy stick has a 5-way control (up, down, left, right and select) which gives you better power to select items on screen. The turn-page buttons are situated on either edge so you can read and turn pages comfortably with just one hand. Kindle always saves your position when reading, so you can pick up where you last finished as well as bookmark key passages; make, revise and export remarks.

Seeing online text for the first time on Kindle will blow you away. All Kindle 2 reviews share the same enthusiasm for just how incredibly print-like the text appears. In actuality, Kindle 2 does use ink. But the ink particles are charged electronically to transform from one letter into the next. Just as Kindle 2 reviews boast, the Kindle 2 applies a sixteen level grayscale that produces superior detail and better resolution. The reader comfort level is inferior to none.

I'm an avid reader. Anywhere, anything. And whilst my iPod needs its battery revived every two or three days, my Kindle lasts up to two full weeks without having to have its battery recharged. Amazon isn't stupid. Kindle 2 is able to turn its wireless link off and preserve its battery.

The user guidebook along with Kindle 2 reviews also encourage you to use sleep mode rather than power off each time as sleep mode uses no power and again, saves battery time. (Remember to read the user guide. Not solely Kindle 2 reviews for advice!)

Over 17,000 Kindle 2 reviews on Amazon.com alone have toasted the sensibleness of Kindle 2 and my Kindle 2 reviews concur. Kindle 2 is absolutely superb to transport a virtual collection with me wherever I go. Kindle best satisfies devoted reader wishes!

I love reading about writing about my hobby. Check out the Kindle 2 Reviews site and compare ebook readers.

The Amazon Kindle - Why It Is A Good Buy

The Amazon Kindle is a neat little gadget that was recently released, and has been garnering a lot of attention from bibliophiles and gadget addicts all around the world. While there are some obvious reasons for why the Amazon Kindle is a neat little toy, there are a myriad of other factors that make the Kindle well worth the purchase that most people have not actively addressed. Are you thinking about buying the Kindle wireless reader for yourself, or someone else in your life? If you are not yet sure whether or not the Kindle will make an excellent gift for yourself or someone else, keep reading.

1. The Kindle may seem like an expensive gift for yourself, but in the long run you are actually going to observe significant savings by using it because downloading books in electronic format for the Kindle is much more cost effective than purchasing paperback editions.

2. Rather than driving all the way to a bookstore or library to get the book you want, or waiting for a week for it to be delivered, you can download eBooks from Amazon in less than a minute after purchasing them.

3. Purchasing and using a Kindle for your reading is a lot more eco-friendly than purchasing paper books, which means by using a Kindle you are helping the environment while getting your reading fix.

4. The Kindle is excellent if you travel a lot, take public transportation, or otherwise have a lot of downtime to spend reading. Rather than carry around a number of heavy books, fussing with newspapers, or looking desperately for worthwhile reading material, you can simply bring your Kindle along for the ride.

5. The Amazon Kindle doesn't only deliver books, but it also delivers news so your Kindle can help you keep in touch.

6. The Kindle wireless reader does not require fees to allow you to browse the internet.

7. The rechargeable battery that the Kindle comes equipped with can last you for several days, and you can still continue to use the Kindle even while it is in charging mode.

8. The Kindle also allows you to move plain text files and mp3 files onto your device so that you can listen to music while you are reading on it.

9. The Amazon Kindle wireless reader is light weight and extremely user friendly and easy to navigate. It works using page turning from right to left, rather than forcing you to scroll up and down.

10. If you know someone who claims to have everything, the Kindle is an excellent gift. And if they already have one, you can always purchase some electronic reading material for them.

The price on the Amazon Kindle may be a little steep, but if you are an avid reader or simply need a portable device to pass the time on public transportation or between classes, the Kindle is definitely well worth the investment. It is a great little gadget that can come with you everywhere, so no matter where you are at, you always have excellent reading material at your fingertips.

The E-Reader War! Amazon Kindle 2 Vs Sony

This review is going to talk about some first user's experience with the Amazon Kindle 2 and more in depth information about the Sony PRS-505.

After 10 years digital books and e books finally leave the computer and become readable on external devices, this is in large part thanks to the competition in the market of the portable devices. The 2 main players of the e-reader are Amazon's Kindle 2 and Sony Corp.'s Portable Reader System.

Amazon as usual wants the first place and the dominant position in the e-reader world. The Kindle, in its three versions is obviously aiming even if no one will admit it to monopolies this market and pass from the biggest reseller of physical books to the empire of the eBooks thanks to the Kindle 2.

To better promote this strategy Amazon is building into each Kindle 2 a wireless system that works anywhere cell phone service is available. On the other hand Sony users rely on computers connected to the Internet to purchase and download content like eBooks for their devices. Kindle 2 users are not restricted to a wire.

Almost too easy to buy content over that wireless connection and send it straight to the Kindle 2. Smart thing if you want to find yourself purchasing items you didn't want and having to delete them later. Amazon is making it more convenient every day to seduce the potential buyers and increase market share.

Many readers prefer the privacy of the Sony, after playing around with a Kindle 2 for a couple of days.

Also battery life is better conserved when you can press a button when interested in a internet connection The Kindle is a little "trigger happy" for some. But many others obviously feel the opposite.

Both the Kindle 2 and its competitor are easy to read, even under direct light. The Kindle is a little more robust and a bit heavier. The instructions and quick-start guide have Kindle 2 running first and it has a better written and more detailed user manual Sony takes more time to master for the most.

Fonts represent a significant deference between the Kindle 2 and its rival; Kindle offers 6 and Sony 3. Also larger font sizes are great help Kindle gives older eyes, but formatting irregularities are present in both models. Amazon Kindle 2 has 1 USB cord (to hook the device to a computer) with a small electric power adapter. Sony: two different cords and the AC-DC power is an extra charges.

PDF the current universal standard format for academic is not supported by the Kindle 2 like a True monopolist, unlike the Sony that does, Instead, Amazon offers its users to send the document to their computers and convert the file for free with the automatic document conversion service, and then transfer them back to their Kindles but charges to send converted documents directly to a Amazon Kindle 2.

For people who read a primarily academic, business and government publications should opt for the Sony For the bestsellers and news readers the Kindle is probably better for the moment, even if for now they are limited in their reading options (not every new book, newspaper, magazine or blog is Kindle compatible). Also the larger the PDF file is the more frequent and perceptible are the formatting problems. That's if you deal with lots of Adobe documents. It's OK for word documents, but not as much for leisure reading or rich art, charts, and photos content.

If you want the advantage of a compact electronic library, remember that neither the Kindle 2 nor the Sony can be called cheap, and what about the cost of content. No matter if you travel extensively and you are a e book reader, or simply have to have the latest digital thingy, ebooks remain a luxury in the current economy.

Overall I liked the Amazon Kindle 2 better and I see a better future for it in my life, you.... Need to make up your choice.

Kindle How-To Series - Loading and Viewing Pictures on Your Kindle E-Book Reader

Your new Kindle wireless reading device is great for holding e-books and audio books but did you also know you can display your pictures on your Kindle? Keep in mind that the Kindle has a gray scale display, not color, so the quality of your pictures won't be great. But, despite that it might be nice to have a few of your favorite pictures for quick viewing on your Kindle.

The process for loading and viewing pictures on your Kindle is not entirely intuitive, but it's not difficult for you to master. Follow the steps below and you'll have more than just books on your Kindle.

1. Get a collection of pictures you want to load on your Kindle. These can be color images but remember that your Kindle will display them as gray scale images.

2. Use a photo editing program to reduce the size of your images before loading them into your Kindle. The Kindle screen can display a picture at a maximum size of 550 pixels high x 450 pixels wide. There is no sense loading large images - which will take-up a large amount of your Kindle's memory - if the image size is limited.

3. Attach the Kindle's USB cable to both your Kindle and your computer.

4. Once the screen letting you know your Kindle is attached to your computer via USB appears you can double-click on your computer's "My Computer" icon.

5. Your Kindle should appear as one of the disk drives attached to your computer.

6. Double-click on your Kindle drive. You will see several folders. One for Audible books, one for documents, and one for music.

7. Add a new folder to your Kindle called "pictures".

8. Open the new "pictures" folder and create one sub-folder for each of the groups of pictures you wish to load onto your Kindle. For example "Moms Birthday" might be one folder and "Summer Vacation 2009" might be another. These folder names will appear on your Kindle's Home Screen so make them descriptive.

9. Open each new sub-folder then copy the pictures you've collected into their appropriate folder.

10. When you are done take a look at your Kindle's screen. If the USB activity indicator at the bottom right side of the screen is not showing any activity you can remove the USB cable from your Kindle.

11. Go to the Home Screen of your Kindle. Press the "ALT" key and the "Z" key at the same time to refresh your Kindle's list of e-books. The screen will blink a few time - when it stops use your "Next Page", "Prev Page" buttons to locate the new picture folders you created in Step 8.

12. Scroll to the picture folder you want to open then press the scroll wheel to select it. The folder will open and in a moment or two your first picture will appear. You can move through your pictures by pressing the "Next" or "Prev" page buttons.

Congratulations! You now know how to make using your Kindle even more enjoyable by being able to carry special pictures with you in your Kindle wireless reading device.

Amazon Kindle How-To Series - What Could Be New With the Kindle 2?

Amazon has sent-out press releases for a big announcement on February 9th in New York City hosted by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Since the event is being held in the Morgan Library, the big rumor is that the new Kindle 2 will debut. For Amazon this is big news since the Kindle was one of the big bright spots of the depressing 2008 holiday selling season.

One of the other interesting reasons that the Kindle is great for Amazon is that it appears to be incremental sales for the company. During a recent earnings call, Amazon's Jeff Bezos claimed that for every physical book Kindle owners purchase from Amazon they also purchase 1.6 to 1.7 e-books for their Kindle. It seems that the Kindle really gets owners even more involved in reading.

So what's in it for people like you and me that might buy a new Kindle 2? We've done a little research on the rumors and some sites like The New York Times and The Boy Genius Report have some interesting details.

1. According to The New York Times the big feature is the improved responsiveness of the display on the new Kindle. One of the key irritants owners of the Kindle 1 have is that when you click the "Next Page" button the Kindle screen goes dark for a second before the next page displays. The new display uses a new microchip and digital ink technology that - reportedly - does away with this issue.

2. In addition to improving responsiveness for reading, the new display also improves responsiveness for doing things OTHER than reading - for example browsing the Web and working with e-mail. The Kindle 1 Web browser was an "experimental" feature that handled text-based sites best. You could use G-Mail for example, but in the "mobile phone mode" which is primarily text vs. graphics based. The new screen technology seems to remove this barrier.

3. Keyboard is larger - based on "leaked" pictures posted on The Boy Genius Report, the new Kindle 2 keyboard is larger making it easier to work with the keys.

4. The scroll wheel is replaced with a track-ball. Again - checking out the "leaked" pictures of the Kindle 2 it appears the scroll wheel is replaced by a track-ball. We expect this means the way you might interact with the new Kindle 2 screen will be significantly different than the Kindle 1. Rather than using the screen in a "linear" fashion, the track ball will allow you to roam the screen and select text more easily for bookmarks, notes, etc. The new Kindle 2 track-ball might also make it easier to interact with web pages vs. the current scroll wheel.

Let's think about what we'd like to see in the new Kindle 2 as well!

A. Better web browsing - this seems to be covered

B. Built-in Media Player - allow selecting and playing of mp3 files vs. random play

C. Built-in ability to read .pdf files - Adobe .pdf is a universal file format for a lot of e-books. You can now read .pdf files by e-mailing them to your Kindle e-mail address. Google will convert them for a small charge

And the big question - will those people who now have Kindle's on back order get the new Kindle 2 when it is released?

We can only wait until February 9th to find-out!

View Pictures on Your iPad
By J. D. Biersdorfer

To see the pictures you synced from your computer, tap the Photos icon on the iPad’s Home screen. Then tap the Photos button at the top of the screen to see your pictures in thumbnail view, filling the iPad screen in a grid. If you chose to copy over specific photo albums, tap the name of the album you want to look at. Mac syncers can also tap the Events, Faces, or Places button to see photos sorted in those categories, as page xx explains.

On the thumbnails screen, you can do several things:

• Tap a photo thumbnail to see it full-size on the iPad screen.


• Double-tap an open photo to magnify it.


• Spread and pinch your fingers on-screen (those fancy moves described in Chapter 2) to zoom in and out of a photo. Drag your finger around on-screen to pan through a zoomed-in photo.


• Flick your finger horizontally across the screen in either direction to scroll through your pictures at high speeds. You can show off your vacation photos really fast this way (your friends will thank you).


• Rotate the iPad to have horizontal photos fill the width of the screen or to have vertical photos fill its height.


• With a photo open, tap the iPad’s glass to display a strip of itsy-bitsy thumbnails of all the photos in the current album at the bottom of the screen. Tap or slide to a thumbnail to jump to a particular picture.

When you tap the ^ icon in the menu bar, you can set a photo as wallpaper, assign a picture to your iPad’s Contact’s program, send a pic to MobileMe, or start a photo slideshow. To get back to your library, tap the Photos or album-name button at the top of the screen.

Email Photos

If you want to share your photographic joy, you can email one or a bunch of pictures right from the Photos program:

• One photo. To email the photo currently on-screen, tap the iPad’s glass to make the photo controls appear, and then tap the ^ icon in the upper-right corner. Tap the Email Photo button. The mail program attaches the photo to a new message, ready for you to address.


• Multiple photos. To email a bunch of pictures at once, tap open the album containing the photos. Tap the ^ icon in the top-right corner and then tap the pictures you want to send (blue checkmarks appear in the corner of the thumbnails to show you’ve selected them). Tap the Email button to attach them to a new message. If you have a draft message in progress, tap the Copy button, then switch to the mail program, open your message, and hold down your finger until the Paste button appears. Tap it to paste in the pictures.

Delete Photos

You have two ways to delete photos from your iPad. If you synced photo albums from iTunes, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes, hit the Photos tab, and turn off the checkboxes by those albums. Click Apply and then Sync to “unsync,” or remove, those pix from the iPad’s gallery.

If you have pictures in your Saved Photos album you want to ditch, you can delete a currently open picture by tapping the T icon and then tapping the Delete Photo button. To delete multiple pictures from the Saved Photos thumbnail view, tap the ^ icon, then tap the unwanted pictures to assign the Blue Checkmarks of Selection. Tap the small red Delete button on the top-left side of the menu bar. There’s a blue Cancel button on the other side of the menu bar if you change your mind.
