A newspaper in your Kindle

2011-11-22T07:35:00.001+01:00

Reading newspapers on the Kindle is a different experience than reading traditional paper newspapers. It is much better. In fact, it is a revolutionary reading experience overall. Some say it is the Kindle experience is superior because Kindle newspapers are better for the environment, are easy to navigate, and create a whole new way to read. However, there are other reasons to love them as well.

The new Kindle models connect readers to a myriad of fine newspapers and magazines from the far reaches of the world. Reading is a joy due to the new contrast feature that is up to 50% greater than with earlier Kindle models. Furthermore, this year, the screens are not back lit. This means less eyestrain and greater readability. If, after these fabulous improvements, one is still having trouble reading a newspaper on the Kindle, there is always the option of switching to a larger font. The new Kindles now offer eight different font sizes that can be changed with a tap for a finger. Too tired to read? Kindle can read all the news to you.

It is easier to read Kindle newspapers at the breakfast table, for instance, because traditional newspapers are so big and bulky. Kindle newspapers require less space and less overall effort to use, and the reader does not have to worry about doing any folding to make newspapers fit the table. When opening one of the electronic newspapers, the first thing the reader probably notices is that the headlines are the same size as the rest of the print. This is an easy phenomenon to get accustomed to, however. The list of front-page stories shows up on the screen, and the Kindle user is ready for a whole new reading experience.

It is easy to leaf through Kindle newspapers and to catch those little obscure articles that might have been missed on a traditional newspaper just because of the format. Try a newspaper on your Kindle today and catch up on what is happening in the world!

Converting PDF files to Kindle Format

2011-10-20T07:36:00.000+02:00

If you are like me, you have tons of PDF files stored on your computer hard drive that you have promised to actually read some day. If you absolutely love reading books on your Kindle, you will probably realize that if these PDFs somehow got transferred to your Kindle, you would definitely read them right away. The question is, how do you convert PDF to Kindle format and then transfer it to your device?

Why Convert a PDF to Kindle Format?

If you are the proud owner of a Kindle eBook reader, there have undoubtedly been situations where you wish you had the ability to convert PDF to Kindle format. But why? There is no argument that the Kindle has always had the built-in ability to display PDF files without losing the formatting of the original file. All you need to do is use your USB cable to transfer the file from your computer to your device, email it to your Kindle email address or use the built-in web browser to view it.

In fact, the most recent versions of the Kindle have enhanced PDF support which allows for features such as magnifying text, viewing documents in landscape mode, adding notes and highlights, dictionary lookups, zooming and panning. But if you own an older version of the Kindle, none of these features are included. While you will be able to view PDF documents in their original format, you would not be able to use any of the features listed above. But what if you absolutely needed these features? The answer is simple: you will need to convert your PDF to Kindle format.

What PDF Features Are Available for Older Models?

For older models, the only available feature is the ability to view PDF files in their original format. Most of the time this may be adequate. However, if the font size on a PDF is very small and hard to read without zooming in, you would most likely not be able to read it on the smaller Kindle screen. In simpler terms, for older Kindle models, the PDF will look exactly the same as it appears on your computer monitor with no options to change it. What you see is what you get!

Which Models Have Enhanced PDF Support?

Latest generation Kindle
Second generation Kindle
Kindle DX

Enhanced PDF support implies that you will be able to use features such as viewing documents in landscape mode, adding notes, magnifying text, dictionary look-ups, panning and zooming.

However, even on the latest generation Kindles, if you want PDF features such as variable font size, annotation, text-to-speech and document re-flow, you will have no choice but to convert PDF to Kindle format.

Converting a PDF to Kindle Format will Enable All Kindle Functionality

However, if you convert a PDF file to Kindle format before transferring it to your device, you will be able to use all the built-in Kindle features including text-to-speech. Even on the most recent Kindle models, text-to-speech does not work on PDFs unless they are converted. Another advantage of converting to Kindle format is that the document will be re-formatted so that the words "flow" more evenly across the screen. To many, the "re-flow" feature is the biggest advantage of converting a PDF file to Kindle format.

What does re-flow mean exactly? It simply means that if you change the font size, the words will shift in the paragraph much like a word-processing document or regular Kindle eBook.

What Types of PDF Files Cannot Be Converted?

PDF files that are mostly graphical in nature (pictures, charts, diagrams, tables, etc.)
Files that have added security. For example, some authors protect their PDF files so that they cannot be altered whatsoever including the ability to copy and paste
Password protected PDF files (if you do not know the password)
Most DRM protected files

Question before buying a kindle

2011-10-10T13:25:00.000+02:00

Do you know all about the kindle?
Does the Kindle have all the features you're looking for in an eReader?
Read on to decide if the Kindle is right for you and if it can help enhance your reading experience.

Questions and answers about The Kindle

Do you not have room for a large book and collection and want to save space in your home?

The Kindle and the Kindle DX have the capacity to hold entire libraries of books. The Kindle's memory can accommodate up to 1,500 books, while the Kindle DX's memory can store up to 3,500 books. All books that you download remain in the Kindle library, in one convenient location. You won't have to go around asking your family members if they've seen your book lying around anymore, because you will know exactly where to find it. Just visit your Kindle library's Archived section to find anything you've ever downloaded.

Do you have trouble reading small print?

You can adjust the font size on the Kindle to your preference. Many libraries and bookstores only have limited collections of large print books, but with the Kindle can now choose from any book in the Amazon Store and make it a large print book on your device. A simple push of the button increases the text size and helps eliminate eye strain. It makes reading a more enjoyable experience.

Do you want to save money on books?

Best sellers and new releases on Amazon are usually priced at $9.99, while titles with an older publication date typically sell for even less. When you think that the cost of a hardcover new release ranges from $25-$30, this is quite a bargain and the savings can really add up over time. You could practically buy another Kindle with the amount of money you would save by buying just one digital book a month instead of a print book. The savings multiple even faster when you take into account purchases of magazines and newspapers. For anyone who reads with any frequency at all, the Kindle will be sure to be a money-saver.

Do you want the option to hear the text spoken like an audio book?

In the most recent version of the Kindle, Amazon has included an experimental Text-to-Speech feature that practically renders audio books obsolete. Any book, magazine, or blog you download, provided the publisher has granted permission, can be read aloud to you through the Kindle. Not only can the text be read, but you can choose how fast or slow it is spoken and whether you want a male or female speaker. The Kindle automatically turns the pages as the text is read, so there will be no confusion if you want to switch back to reading mode. You can start back up right where the reader left off.

Do you want to be able to read the same book on multiple devices?

You can find a number of free apps on Amazon's website that allow you to read digital content on devices other than the Kindle. The Kindle for iPhone, Kindle for PC, and Kindle for BlackBerry are currently available, and the Kindle for Mac application is in the works. Amazon's Whispersync technology means you can pick up where you were reading even when you switch devices. You can read your book on your iPhone while riding the train, then switch to your Kindle when you get home.

Do you want an easy way to make notes and mark important places in the text you're reading?

The Kindle comes equipped with a number of built-in tools. It has a digital highlighter, making it easy to note key passages you need to remember. You no longer have to dog-ear pages of a book, because the Kindle has a bookmark feature that marks the pages you wish to return to. A full QWERTY keyboard allows for note-taking. Those undecipherable scribbles in the margin are a thing of the past. Finally, the Kindle stores all notes and highlighting and you can view your additions across multiple devices.

Amazon Kindle vs Nook

2011-10-08T07:45:00.002+02:00

Kindle versus Nook comparison

Amazon's Kindle eReader has been the leader, at least in the US, of the eReader market since the introduction of Kindle 1 in 2007. Sony has held 2nd place with 30 - 35% of the market. But now there is a new kid on the block. In October '09 Barnes & Noble announced its nook eReader that sold out on pre-order within a few weeks.

The nook is revolutionary primarily in its looks. It will be hard for your average gadget boy/girl to see one and not develop a serious craving. But does this mean that the nook is the best thing since the printing press for bookish boys and girls?

Let's look at and compare some of the features of the nook and the Kindle eReaders.

kindle and Nook features

For the most part reading on the nook's e-ink screen is very similar to reading on the Kindle eReader's e-ink screen. Both eRreaders use the same or a very similar reading screen.

What is dramatically different, and what in fact attracts many people to the nook eReader is the small LCD touchscreen under the e-ink screen. On the Kindle, navigation is accomplished by using the chicklet keyboard and the 5-way controller. The controls for the nook are mostly accessed through using the LCD touchscreen.

The nook's touchscreen is also used for browsing books in your library or for selecting books to purchase from Barnes & Noble over the wireless connection. A virtual keyboard is available on the LCD screen for typing.

The nook's color LCD screen looks really nice and would seem to be a very desirable feature, but there are problems with the software implementation, which we will get to in a bit.

Kindle Connectivity

The Kindle eReader has a 3G wireless connection through AT&T for the Kindle Global, and Sprint for the Kindle 2. Amazon calls its wireless service "Whispernet". Using Whispernet, you can usually purchase and download a book within a minute or less. You also can use the somewhat clunky but functional browser to access the internet, check email, research your reading on Wikipedia, even access another online ebook store than Amazon to purchase and download books, etc. With Kindle Global you also have access to the Kindle store in many other countries besides the US, though you have to pay a surcharge for downloading a book on the Whispernet outside of the US.

The nook eReader has both a WiFi connection and a 3G AT&T wireless connection. The difference is that the nook's connection can only be used for purchasing and downloading books from Barnes & Noble. No internet, no Wikipedia, you cannot use it to connect to another online ebook store and purchase books.

The nook's WiFi connection will be useful if you carry your nook eReader into a B&N store as it will download coupons and special offers to your eReader. You can also use the WiFi to browse ebooks while in a B&N store, but you can only read each book for a maximum of one hour in a 24-hour period. These in-store features are not yet fully implemented so we don't yet know how useful they will prove to be.

Kindle and Nook Sharing

One of the nook eReader's features that received a lot of press coverage is the ability to lend your ebooks to friends. Unfortunately, this feature is not as great as first thought. For one thing, publishers must opt in to let their books be loaned. Some have said they will not allow this. Also there are restrictions: you can only loan a particular book once ever, and only for 14 days. While a book is loaned out you cannot access it on your own nook.

The Kindle does not at this time allow this type of lending. However, you can share ebooks with up to 6 (it can vary by title) Kindles that are registered to the same account. This works well for multi-Kindle families. It is even possible to set up a reading club with your Kindle owning friends if you feel comfortable sharing a single credit card to register your Kindle eReaders to.

More about Kindle and Nook

One nice feature that the nook eReader has is a user replaceable battery. The Kindle's battery is hardwired in and therefore will need to be sent back to Amazon for replacement ($60). Amazon says that even after 500 charges (ten years or so) these batteries will still hold 80% charge, so this may not be an issue for most people.

The nook also accepts an SD card for additional storage. The Kindle only has its internal storage, but that is enough to hold around 1,500 books, so this may also not be an issue for you.

A nook feature that has not received any official Barnes & Noble acknowledgment is the ability to borrow ebooks from your local library if they use Overdrive's digital distribution service. To do this you need to install Adobe Digital Editions on your computer and use that to sideload the ebook onto your nook. You can borrow an ebook from the library for 14 days, after which it will be automatically deleted. You cannot renew library ebook checkouts. To find out how useful this feature will be in your case you should check your local library website. Most libraries do not have a large catalogue of ebooks yet. Kindle does not support borrowing library ebooks at this time

kindle Third generation review

2011-10-05T07:38:00.000+02:00

The new Kindle 3G

With the presentation of the Third generation of Amazon Kindle, the online retailer has all the reasons to celebrate: this ebook reader is not only better than everything has been built before in this category, but it is also ready to meet the mainstream masses. With the Amazon Kindle, Amazon solves all the negative aspects of earlier ebook reader generations, such as slow page turns, finger-unfriendly button designs and heavy weight. This doesn't mean there is no room for improvement, but this Kindle is the first I will certainly recommend to my friends.

Kindle Value

There are two versions of the third-generation Amazon Kindle. The Kindle Wi-Fi costs $139, while the Kindle that has both Wi-Fi and 3G and costs $189. The 3G-only Kindle 2 cost previously just as much. Please remember the third generation Kindle is not only a minor update, display improvement or a color refresh, just like we have seen in the case of Kindle DX (Graphite). It can be seen from a distance that there is a lot of work and attention in this ebook reader. This might show that the company thinks its hardware strategy to be very important, in complementing its software (the Kindle apps for Mac, Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, iPad, and PC) and e-bookstore strategies.

One has to notice that the new Kindle comes in two colors: eye-pleasing graphite (just the same as the Kindle DX presented earlier this summer) and the usual Kindle white. Some might argue that dark ebook readers are easier to read, because they give a perception of better contrast. However, this is only an impression. Others might feel they can read the white one better. The display was enhanced, too. The Amazon Kindle now has a 6-inch E-Ink Pearl display just like the Kindle DX (Graphite). This display has 50 percent better contrast, which is quite noticeable in use. Just like on Kindle DX (Graphite), the text looks smoother, and the blacks are more solid. The Pearl display also has faster screen refresh rates, which improves user experience significantly (more on that later).

Smaller Kindle

The streamlined design of the Amazon Kindle made possible to shrink the reader by 21 percent. However is we look at the numbers, it doesn't seem that much is shaved off. The new model measures 7.5 by 4.8 by 0.34 inches, versus the 8 by 5.3 by 0.36 inches of the Kindle 2. However if you look at the two devices side-by-side, it is obvious that the third generation Amazon Kindle became significantly smaller. In order to get this smaller design, the manufacturer primarily trimmed the superfluous, wasted space around the edges, so the device is now dominated by its 6-inch screen. The functionality is not affected by this: there is still enough room around the edges for the fingers to rest comfortably while holding the device.

Lighter Kindle

The design of Amazon Kindle is a pleasure to hold in hand. The user can read a couple of hours without feeling any pain or stiffness in his hands. This fact is even more interesting because the same thing cannot be said for the multipurpose Apple iPad: this device with its 1.5 pounds (25 ounces) weight is almost three times heavier than the Kindle (8, 7 ounces). This fact makes a really strong argument in favor of the Kindle.

However, this review is not only about comparing the iPad to the third generation Amazon Kindle. The Kindle is a masterpiece in itself, and it is the first time I can say that it is a pleasure to hold a Kindle ebook reader in hand. I must also say that the Kindle is not the lightest ebook reader available on the market: there is an ebook reader that is nearly one ounce lighter, the Kobo eReader, which also has a 6-inch display. Then the Bookeen Cybook Opus, with a 5-inch display, is even lighter, with 5.3 ounces. At the same time, the Barnes & Noble's Nook (11.6 ounces for Nook Wi-Fi, 12.1 ounces for Nook Wi-Fi + 3G) is significantly heavier than the Amazon Kindle; and the new Kindle is 15 percent lighter than its 10.2-ounce predecessor.

Kindle Better Design

The new Kindle, with its lighter weight and more compact design, the third-generation Kindle also provides a more pleasing reading experience than the earlier models. Its curved back cover made from a subtle, rubberized material, also makes it easier to hold. Because of the more compact design, Amazon had to modernize and thoroughly redesign the keys and buttons. Near the screen now there are very simple forward and back buttons, mirrored in shape and size, and signaled by arrows instead of words. With this feature, the Kindle is suitable for both left- and right-handed users. The unit's buttons, when used, seem to be in very well-thought, convenient and ergonomic places.

A drawback of the second-generation Kindle was that the page-forward and page-back buttons depressed inward, into the screen: as a result, when they were pressed, a noisy, mechanical sound was heard. The third generation Kindle now has buttons that depress away from the screen, and are much slimmer, like a rocker-style button that melds into the edge of the device. This solution is much better, as the fingers don't need to hover in a single place to turn the page. The hand can be moved and the page can still be turned with the heel of the palm, or even with the thumb: a rather unique experience. In addition to this, Amazon corrected the unfunctional, outwardly page-turn buttons of its first-generation Kindle that led to many accidental page turns.

Kindle new Technology

The Amazon Kindle, unlike its predecessors, just breezes thorough the pages. Even very impatient persons can be happy with the way the new Kindle turns the pages. And there is virtually no lag in scrolling through the menu options. The page turns are 20 percent faster, according to Amazon. The manufacturer says that the increased speed comes from the Amazon's proprietary waveform and controller technology (this technology is essentially a series of pulses that move white and black electronic ink particles to give the grey level that makes the final text or image), and the new display. When the page turns, there is still an annoying flicker, but because the speed is much increased, the flicker is rather acceptable.

In my experience, the speed issue is very important. The second generation of Kindle was quite unresponsive and sluggish, but I must mention that the slowest ebook reader I ever saw was the Kobo eReader. There is only one place I noticed a lag: in a Kindle bookstore. However it is until today unclear to me whether the lag was due to the speed of the display's redraw, the bookstore's responsiveness or the integrity of the 3G connection. No matter the cause was, in this situation several times the book cover thumbnails lagged behind the page load of the rest of the content.

Kindle covers

2011-10-03T08:02:00.000+02:00
