Amazon Kindle


Recently, I had in my hands (for a limited time) a 2G Amazon Kindle, an ebook reader device (e-reader).

Kindle's back. You can see the official logo and mono-speakers. You can use the Kindle for audio books and even listen some background music while you read.

Press any button to continue...

I really was intrigued about the monochromatic screen. At first sight, I was wondering why Kindle's screen isnt available in colors? Well, unlikely LCD screens Kindle emulates the paper ink with the e-ink, making it usefull when you read a lot of books without any glare and tiring your eyes. Also, you can even read in bright sunlight.


Do you own a (2G or 3G) Kindle? Is the Kindle in your wishlist or do you prefer the Ipad?

Kindle is kinda expensive, it's more likely the price of an Ipod.

well, I still don't understand the e-ink. what's that means?

my wife reads books like they are going out of style. She never thought much of the Kindle due to pricing

I keep hearing about the Kindle but I've never actually seen one. It'd be cool to be able to read manga on it though, then I wouldn't need so many bookshelves.

@divinelight: e-link refers to electronic ink. Since printed ink is black and gray, e-ink should be the same. ^^

@Bluedrakon: I think the Ipad is more expensive.

@Nopy: Didnt thought about using it for manga but that would be cool. ;)

Oh, so that's why it's monochromatic... I still don't read enough books to actually get one ^^; EVEN if I have one, I probably still won't read XD If there's an e-manga reader, then I'll buy that :D
