User's Guide: Amazon Kindle

[catelul1]

then kindle was very expensive. now you can buy a kindle dx with that money.

[christmaslove99]

just get the cheap wireless kindle at $139.99 without paying $400.00!! think smarter dude!!!!

[TickleMehNancy]

@christmaslove99 this was 4.5yrs ago, the kindle was more expensive then retard.

[SaschaHeylik]

if you want to read in the dark, turn your room's lights on...

[LeopardstreamAtLarge]

you cant get any harry potter books on the kindle!

[SaschaHeylik]

@LeopardstreamAtLarge yes you can... it can read PDFs and i am sure you can get harry potter as pdf from somewhere

[ericspudic]

Anybody here ever read "Teenage Vigilante" for the Kindle? Interested to hear your thoughts.

[SpoonsForks]

Like books? Don't buy a kindle. Books cost less on a kindle- which means authors are paid less. And undoubtedly, people are going to find ways to download books for free. Who's going to write books anymore when they can't make a living?

[SaschaHeylik]

@SpoonsForks wrong. books cost less on the kindle because they dont have to be produced physically. and maybe amazon gives you some % off to promote the kindle. the authors should get the same amount of cash. only the people who print the books wont.

if you try to get the book for free, you dont care about the author's income anyways.

[SpoonsForks]

@SaschaHeylik cool story bro.

[AsianKidsPro]

okay, people think this, when u are reading a book in the dark u don't think that there should be a backlight, you just are reading a book

[OnTheEdgeOfDarkness]

There should be a light in the kindle, I got one and I opened it at night so if I want to read in it or something, i have to use my phone to be able to read. I do love the kindle though.

[JamesScilz]

watch?v=Fo70scy41Z8 get yours here!

[50PEBOOKS]

Hey, need some books? like james bond? 50pebooks.xp3(dot)biz /BOND.html

[ladyinthecastle6783]

Just got my free iPad from A-Free dot Net. Looks good.

[iota2020]

haha, "abstinence teacher"...hahaha

[mukatuna]

It looks like something which came from Soviet era East Germany. Beige plastic, that's just so 80s.

[Aaron2071]

We're gonna get one of these-- we originally needed it so my bro could keep his college textbooks on it, but then we decided we'd also get one for the family. :D apparently it is able to download books anywhere within phone connectivity? Do they mean like the iphone?

[axnyaxaxlstreim]

Yep, the technology is modeled after a phone, so it's all around wifi

[GreenBlaze75]

Interesting. Wonder why there isn't a backlight though.

[017madi]

i know right? i was planning on asking for one for christmas and i assumed there would be a backlight.

[ravenxcult]

looks like an old game boy. No color screen lol.

[Aaron2071]

omg! haha I remember those! Lol even though they weren't in color I always loved those games anyway xD

[017madi]

seriously why would you need a colored screen?? your reading! its not like your playing a game. and books arent colored anyway

[ravenxcult]

I wasnt saying I wanted a color screen, I was just commenting on the fact that it looks like the old school nintendo game boy.

[guy111111111111]

you can actually play games I've heard

[loonypitches]

@017madi It's probably because some people are reading magazines and they actual want to see all the pictures in color. It could also be the fact that the cover for the books don't look as good in black and white.

[patasquinzi]

better paper books...more exiting and personal

[Ovidius777]

Better hope buying the books from Amazon isn't the only way to put them on the device

[LeopardstreamAtLarge]

@Tigerox50 Dr, Robotnik says NO

[eddiewilbury]

I have no trouble holding the kindle comfortably and pressing the proper buttons. If you have a lot of trouble using a cell phone, texting , that kind of thing, I could see that, but otherwise it's easy to hold and use. The battery is much more long lasting than that of a laptop, phone or Sony e Reader.

[ElectronicGuide]

Do you have a question about anything electronic? Ask me on my channel and I will help you!

[jbiggs12]

EVDO? I want it!!!

[lindapittsburgh]

I want one when they are PINK

[ftwelve12]

you are a mindless consumer whore

[kickthebass]

having a favourite colour absolutely makes you a consumer whore.

[julinmorgan]

i want it :Y

[Razisid]

For more information on ebook readers search Youtube for iLiad, eReader, Cybook or Google up 'Mobileread Forum'. Tons of information about all these devices. Kindle is not the only player in this game.

[GrandMasterKeebler]

who the hell would read in the dark or want to read in the dark?

[jrudolph2]

People who own clip on book lights.

[aberdude1991]

retard

[017madi]

thats a really retarded question. people read in bed all the time loser.

[Emo6213]

With the lack of a back light, and its limited power consumption makes this a no buy for me. I do like the wireless capabilities, and I do like the idea of being able to carry 200+ books about with me, but I still think the technology isn't up to par with what I want in an e book reader.

[StrawKatt]

the thing only consumes battery power when you turn pages. Also, backlight puts a strain on the eyes. Would you even read a regular book in the dark? :P

[umbepo]

oh yes, we all love the 3 inch screens!

[mytube232]

Looks kewl, but I think my PocketPC is by far better solution. And cheeper too! :)

[darkkirby7]

whattt?
