The world is evolving and moving away from traditional ways
of reading books, thus the E-reader has become the new craze nowadays and one
can not just but wonder how this device work, therefore a review is needed for
the best E-reader on the market. In recent times I see people go around with
the kindle, they usually get so glued to it that I had to ask a friend who has
one for a quick view, instantly I was hooked on it because of it functions. I
was able to read and see the text under the sun, this is unbelievable I was
immediately glued to it and I ordered for mine on amazon.
I was surprised to see that the kindles is the number one
selling product on the merchant site called amazon not only that, it is the
most wished for and gifted item on their too this gives credence to how people
really love the kindle and am very sure 30,000 real user reviews can not go
wrong on this product that consistently has more 5 star reviews than any
product on amazon.
The kindle features the best look on the e –reader market
with is light and ultra thin look which weigh 8.5 ounce, we can always read
holding the kindle for a longer period of time without feeling the weight on
our wrist. Generally this device is lighter than a paper back book and thinner
than a magazine.
The kindle is the simplest device to use because it ready
for use the moment it you bring out of the box because there are no need of any
form of installations all you need do is connect it to a network and you are
right on your way of selecting the books you want to read from amazon
the other day I finished reading some books on kindle and I
almost forgot I was holding it until I almost tossed it into the waste basket,
this is how light this product it can be held for a longer period of time
without you noticing any strain on your hand. This is a good reader that is
carefully made taking the long period of time that people might be reading with
the kindle, it is easy to hold and read.
You can change the
viewing landscape of the kindle when you are using it. if you really want to
change your holding position., the text can be placed horizontal or diagonal,
the button meant for this landscape view or change are carefully located at
each side of the kindle. The kindle back is comfortable to hold and it never
get hot that might arise from long time use this means you can read for as long
as possible am really thrilled by this.
The installed E-ink on the kindles reduces strain on the eye
, shows clearer text with high resolution display even in the sun you can read
text on kindles without any difficulties because it shows text clearly as if
you are reading traditional book.
When ordering online I saw some kindles that were different
in wifi and 3g connections so I researched what they stand for and am better
for it well incase you don’t know I chose the kindle 3g+wifi did you ask why
?then read below
What Is The Difference Between Kindle(WIFI) And Kindle 3G(3G+WIFI)
The difference is all about choice, there are people who
only prefer the wifi and there also people who prefer the 3G kindle over the
wifi kindle let find out more below.
Kindle Wifi :- if you have wifi connection or fast broadband
internet access in your home then you might pick the kindle enabled wifi this
can also be used in areas where there is hot spot wifi connection amazon as
gone ahead to make a deal with AT&T to ensure there is free access to
kindles users to there wifi spot without any payment on your end.
Kindle 3G(3G+WIFI) :- with the kindle 3g you can make
connection on the go from any location you are , the device makes use of the
amazon 3g connection and it is supported in over 100 country. There are no data
contracts for you to sign amazon makes 3g data usage payment. It is easy to
download books online with the 3g network unto your kindle.
Longer Battery Usage
I have found that my battery last for 2 month if charged
maximally once but when the wifi is on or when I browse through the web kit I
find that the battery only last for 10 day
The kindle is shipped with an adapter and a universal cable
for easier electrical out let charge and charging through the serial port on
your computer/laptop as for me I find it easier to charge with my laptop
because am always with my laptop most of
the time due to the kind of work I do. Just charge your kindle as at when due
and you will have access to the numerous function and use of the new kindle.
Memory
Yes the kindle has an internal memory that can not be
expanded just simply because it is an e-reader and it is not expected to other
functions such as internet browsing and mps if you are looking for such then
get laptop or any other reader that does that and am sure it will always break
down easily, the memory can only hold up to 3,500 books and they can also be
grouped in different categories to make accessing them easier this is great. I
also found out that this book is properly numbered just like normal books and
with this I can easily reference the page I am and also share that particular
page with people.
The no worry archive
on this reader is superb because amazon stores any deleted book and guide for
easier reference and reach, to reinstall this book back all I need do is
download it again and this cost me no money. Am loving this
Dynamic Functions In Books
You can easily search for book titles right from your
kindles and unto the book store on amazon if you are looking for some tittles
or phrase within the book this search can be extended to places such as
wikipedia and the web.
Annotation and bookmark can also be added to any page you
are reading just like adding note alongside some text in traditional books this
can also be done with the kindle only that this is digital therefore it can be
stored, deleted or edited. You can also bookmark your book and return to that
particular page in the future, the technology in the kindle is wide, there Is
also a social aspect to reading on a kindle, if you find an interesting book
title, author or a paragraph that interest you. You can share it on twitter,
facebook etc with friends and family for them to know what you find
interesting.
The popular highlight function makes you to see how popular
a page is with kindle users and you are able to see what the wrote as
annotation for that page and see how many people really made that annotation
and also see their comment this will make you learn more about the book you are
reading. You will also find a built in dictionary in the kindle seriously guys
what is a reader without a dictionary or an encyclopedia, if in your readings
you come across some words you dony understand all you need do is highlight it
and the literal meaning will pop under your screen and you simply learn and
make notice of the world. Unlike the dictionary you have access to wikipedia
this is just like encyclopedia but this one is digital. Looking up people
places and event is much easier with the kindle

Seize – it’s now has a smaller body but it still keep the
same 6” reading area this is because the qwerty area of the kindle has been
more improved on to improve usage, this design to eliminate the crappy look the
first generation of kindles is known for
More lighter and thinner – with this latest design the
kindle is 17% lighter than the previous one and also has a reduced weight that

read longer enough without feeling any weight load on your hand.

this reader last longer than the previous one, with a single charge the battery
will last for 2 month without the use of wifi but the use of wifi, downloading
,mp3 and surfing the net the battery will only last for 3 weeks maximum.

seconds without going on the internet this wifi also has an internet search
capability that searches for hot wifi spot or open wifi within the radius where

and it only wise to improve on this because with this improvement you are able

New Webkit Based Browser- amazon confirms this is still in
the experimental stage so don’t expect anything spectacular from it, am sure it
will get better as amazon get a hold on testing and experimenting with it.

testing face I believe it will get better soonest.
On final note I will say kindle is the best e reader on the market and as we can
see in this review that it will continue to get better because there are more
