Amazon Kindle 3PROS: Excellent light-weight ebook reader, with good capacity, low battery consumption and screen comfortable to readCONS: Only available in gray color, the screen is not touchable |
Amazon Kindle is a portable e-book reader using an e-ink electronic paper display. It aims to make the reading comfort as close as possible to reading an ordinary book.
In fact, it moves it to another level. Can you imagine carrying several hundreds books in your bag? Hardly. But with Kindle, it’s easy.
There are several key features making this e-book reader so good:
1. E-ink is comfortable to read and it truly resembles paper
2. Unlike a book it's possible to search, set bookmarks, make clips or use a context dictionary
3. The capacity is 4 GB, which means it can hold more than 3500 books
4. It's light-weight and it can be carried easily
5. It's easy to use, and accessible to all – visually impaired people can set their own font size and even make Kindle read the text for them (English only)
6. The 3G version enables you to browse the internet for free, without any monthly fee or wireless subscription
7. Amazon online store contains thousand of books, which are either free or a can be bought with just a few clicks.
Seven is generally considered a lucky number so I'll stick with it. Obviously there are more reasons why one should have a Kindle depending on one's personal preferences.
I bought this gadget and I found it truly useful. When travelling I have a huge library in my hand and I can also check emails for free, even if abroad.
Obviously, there could be some improvements. A multi-touch screen for browsing or more advanced MP3 player would be welcome but... it's important to realise that Kindle is an e-book reader and it's excellent in it’s primary function. The other stuff is just extra - some kind of bonus.
I considered the purchase a lot and I read many reviews. Most of them said, in different words, just one thing - Kindle is definitely worth buying!
