A Review Of The Amazon Kindle
I got my first kindle some months ago and it is now a firm favorite of mine. It’s very easy to carry around weighing in at just over 10 ounces and about the same width as a normal magazine.
I was a little worried at first that it might be difficult to read, but it’s designed to read like ink, the same a piece of printed paper. the 6 inch screen also has no glare, like a normal notebook or smart phone has which is especially useful is you are reading outside or in direct sunlight.
The other thing that is really cool about the kindle is that no matter how long you are suing it for it does not get hot which is excellent. The text can be easily changed to a larger or even smaller font and the pictures can be zoomed in on to fill the whole screen.
The design makes it easy to scroll between pages another one of my concerns. There is a five way controller that allows you to do this.
The whole thing works on a wireless systems. This means that it comes in a box and will work straight out of it. The systems connects onto to the Amazon online network with no fees or contracts to worry about, it’s all included in the price. An average book can also be downloaded in less that 60 seconds.
The kindle will keep going for a full 2 weeks when the wireless connection is turned off from a full charge. When it’s on this goes down to 4 days, but for general use this does not have to be turned on.
The kindle is very easily recharged and you can either choose to do it with a USB cable or from the mains using a special adapter that comes with it.
With more than 300,000 thousand books available for the kindle there is more than enough for everyone and this is going to continue to get bigger and bigger. There is one problem and that is the price, it is high and will definitely discourage some.
