Haz 0 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I bought an iPad and found all I was doing was reading on it. So I bought a kindle and flogged the iPad. Sorted. http://needfulthingzs.org/td/index.php?& Good source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Early reports are emerging on the new Android-based Amazon Kindle, and the indications are that the bookstore has done well in forking Google's baby into its own likeness. A colour Kindle has been widely anticipated, and close integration into Amazon's cloudy offerings comes as no surprise, but with a $250 price tag and completely customised user interface, Amazon is pitching its colour Kindle as the ultimate media-consumption device. TechCrunch claims to have played with a prototype and to be pretty impressed with it too, though the blog has no pictures. Buyers of the new Kindle, which is apparently remarkably similar in form to the 7-inch-screened BlackBerry Playbook, will get an interface which puts books, films and albums on the same parity as apps. Those apps will have to come from Amazon's online store. Importing other content should be possible but (just as on the Kindle), the path of least resistance is to buy from Amazon. Google's Marketplace is entirely absent, as is the normal suite of Google apps (Google Maps, GMail, etc) that accompany the usual Android distributions. That's not surprising, as those apps aren't open source in the way that Android is and it seems Amazon wants complete control over its own platform. Few Kindle users today realise how locked down their devices are: they can get at the books they want and so don't seem to care if the device itself is locked down. It might annoy purists, but Apple has demonstrated how ease of use trumps openness in the minds of the majority. The device will be launched in November, to be followed by a 10-inch version if all goes well. Older Kindles will survive as cheap alternatives that will still work better on the beach (e-ink is just better in bright light). Amazon's much-anticipated slab is being touted as a proper competitor to Apple's iPad: not because of the hardware but because only Amazon has the back-end services to support it. It also helps that it sports an interface that won't instantly trigger letters from Cupertino's lawyers. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/05/amazon_tablet/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just realised that you can't download your library books over a 3G connection. Seems utterly pointless having 3G for your Kindle if this is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Surely people that like books..... well like books. I can see how maybe papers and stuff like that might work well in this format, and possibly for studies and such, but those are still rather niche markets. More generally are people really interested in carrying around a lot of books with them? Out side of Star Trek data slate crap (and even there it looks forced ) I can't see there being a huge market for them. Nice to see Fop was bang on the money again.

Gemmill 44887 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 A decent kindle? I would just get them the WiFi only paperwhite. Think it's 110 quid. The keyboard and 3G are both unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44887 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I can't justify upgrading when mine works absolutely fine. I fancy a paperwhite, but it would just be a total waste of a hundred quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fancy a paperwhite, but it would just be a total waste of a hundred quid. If mine wasn't a bit banjaxed I'd not bother either. As it is, the back has a crack in it that seems to grow at the same rate as my hairline receeds. Edited December 12, 2013 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Reading A Song Of Ice And Fire on my ipod has convinced me to get a Kindle for Christmas.
