Great review :)

[fanvloggers]

Can you set a password on a Kindle like in an ipod?

[shououdragoon]

@fanvloggers Yes

[landoschuz889]

@fanvloggers yah, you can

[monkeyman522]

Gal needs to spit out the marbles before she starts talking.

[MrKrazy440]

my kindle didnt come with a built in light, or at least i cant find it, can i have some help?

[LanaBanana130]

@MrKrazy440 The kindle doesn't have a light. A case that you can buy on Amazon does.

[MrKrazy440]

@LanaBanana130 thanks for letting me know

[o0xst]

an epilepsy warning for the start of this video would be appropriate

[gurgezgirl]

Hey, I'm really looking to get myself one of these to save the hassle of books piled around my room just one question - can i use books bought from anywhere else? Or can it only be from Amazon? Can others be changed or something??

[RandomDancer117]

I reaaaallly want this for my birthday, since christmas has just passed, but my birthday isn't until another 9 months atleast! Don't know if I can wait that long... Oh yeah by the way really helpfull video.x

[ninjajesus81]

My friend has the Kindle with wifi and not 3G and the internet is really slow on some webpages and other webpages don't load at all. Is the 3G version better as far as internet capabilities?

[bryan12609]

OMG I SPEAK ENGLISH AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAN HER

[9pinkyandthebrain]

why are all the people that review kindles British

[Ackie4966]

@9pinkyandthebrain

All?

[9pinkyandthebrain]

@Ackie4966 no about like 90%

[Ackie4966]

@9pinkyandthebrain

That's not the same as all and I would like you to evidence the figure of 90% or is that a percentage of the videos you have seen. I'll grant you there are a few Brits reviewing this device I doubt your claim that they make up 90% is creditable.

[9pinkyandthebrain]

@Ackie4966 that is why i said about.

[Ackie4966]

@9pinkyandthebrain

That's my point. There is no way that that you can prove that all or 90% of reviews are by Brits so why say it? First you say, all, then you say about 90%. I doubt you really know, as indeed I don't, then again I don't really care about the nationality of the reviewer or how they speak English. Just the quality of the information they provide. Before I ordered my Kindle I had viewed many many youtube reviews regarding the Kindle, most were American and very informative.

[9pinkyandthebrain]

@Ackie4966 right i don't mean to be racist or something...i am just saying ''most'' of them are brits.

[pyroan12]

what makes this review any more "official" than any other "official?" review?

[2Jinky]

can you surf the web without wifi?

[Hullspawn]

This is such nice looking peace of kit I always thought ereaders where kinda pointless until I spent a week walking around with a massive book in my bag than I started thinking a device like this could be a worthwhile investment I still think I'd rather pony up the extra cash for an ipad though

[inuyashaprinses101]

Is this able to go on youtube? Youtube would be nice to have on the kindle3, but if not, Its still a very cool gadget :)

[xoCbeanluvaox]

On the Kindle with 3G WiFi, can you go on facebook and aol? Is it internet?

[malham88]

Hey, I currently have the Sony PRS-300 model ereader, which I love despite a couple of minor glitches.

Has anyone seen these two side by side, and can they advise whether it's worth upgrading? The most obvious points I could see would be the 16bit greyscale and faster page turning - but I'm not sure.

[mizikle101]

@malham88 nook is gunna be 99 dollars at best buy

[paratwa1]

As for the Kindle collection manager, I signed up for the beta for it but never got any emails or anyway to download it. Believe me, I would love to get it.

[paratwa1]

Its not being cheap, its being safe. Wifi is not a safe standard. And I don't care what anyone says. Someone is always breaking the security codes for what ever is the current standard. Maybe they have not broken the codes being used today, but I am sure they will before to long. That's why I only use cat6 in my network, and that is why I always will!

[rookiegenius]

well you can use a 3rd party app called "Kindle collection manager" to manage your collections.

[paratwa1]

The Kindle-PC software is totally worthless! It connects to Amazon and downloads your purchased books, and will upload it to your Kindle, but that's it. You can not use it to manage your Kindle at all. You still have to use the tiny keyboard on the Kindle to make and mange your collections.

Amazon really HAS to fix this. For me it is the worst thing about the Kindle. NO real PC management option. No way to add your own screen savers or manage collections. This is unacceptable to me!

[xvsniper1]

@paratwa1 maybe you should check stuff before you speek there are 3rd party apps to do stuff like this

[paratwa1]

@xvsniper1

Maybe you should read my post before "speaking". I was talking about Amazon's software, not about 3rd party additions. Yes there are other ways of doing what I need to do, but like I said, Amazon's software sucks.

[xvsniper1]

@paratwa1 well thats why you use 3rd party amazon do not force you to use there stuff... maybe you should consider that? haha

[paratwa1]

I have found that the battery life is not as good as stated. When I read for 8 hours or more a day, the battery lasts about 4 days. And that is with the wifi turned off, which it always is.

The screen is wonderful! Even outside in full sunlight there is no glare at all. The text is crisp and very easy to read. I hit the page turning buttons by mistake all the time, but it is easy to return back to where I was. All it all the Kindle 3 is worth the price, with a few major (in my opinion) flaws.

[xvsniper1]

@paratwa1 there is something wrong with your model then.. i have the 3g+wi fi kindle and it lasts for around 3-4 weeks with wifi turned off and about 2 and a half weeks with wifi on

[paratwa1]

@xvsniper1

If I don't use it and just let it set idol, then yes the battery will last for weeks. But I read about 8 hours a day, and it will only last a few days at that rate.

[paratwa1]

Kindle really needs to fix their software and make it easier to manage their collections by using a PC to manage the collections. Also they need to let us decide on what screen savers to use. The dead authors they use as built in screen savers are horrible!

If you buy the kindle, download the Calibre software to convert all types of ebooks to use with the kindle. You can add metadata and covers using that software easily, and it's free! But you still need to use Kindles method to sort the books

[paratwa1]

I hate the fact that you HAVE to use either a wifi connection or a 3g connection to register your kindle. I have the wifi only version and I do not have a wifi connection at home. I ended up driving to a local starbucks and sit outside using their wifi connection to register it. What a pain! I almost returned it because of that fact. I have not used the wifi connection since. I use the Calibre software to upload to my kindle which is the only way to really upload to it. Kindle pc sucks!

[ValiumAlleyoop]

@paratwa1 wow just get wifi ya cheap bastard

[paratwa1]

I have owned the kindle 3 wifi for a couple of months now, and while I really love it, it has some major flaws.

The 1 flaw that annoys me the most is how you are stuck managing your "collections". You have to use the tiny keyboard on the kindle to type in the name of a collection, then click on the collection and add books to it.. This takes way to much time, and if your adding books by many authors and like your books separated this way, it can take a long time to do it.

[rookiegenius]

after doing research on kindle 3, nook, sony 350 and sony 650, I found that Kindle 3 is the best reader right now. Sony readers fail cause they dont have wifi, no audio book for 350 and no speaker for 650. Nook's battery is worse than Kindle's. Kindle 3 is great with Wifi, text to speech, speakers, web browser altho it looks kinda "cheap" due to its plastic material. actually its the cheapest lol

[shamwow56]

do you need wifi to read the books?

[kindafly]

is it a touch-screen device? there is a "pen" by which I can write or draw on the screen? is it possible to underline some passages of the book and save the modified pages?

[Colorguard1775]

@kindafly no, the kindle is not a touch screen device. you have to use the navigation pad at the bottom of it. but yes you can highlight and add notes to passage in books. and it will also save the notes and highlights.

[kindafly]

@Colorguard1775 ok, thank you !! ;)

[thebighat99]

Can you down load library ebooks on this version?

[QueenofGaianeria]

i got one question. ARE THE BOOKS THAT YOU DOWNLOAD REALLY PAGE BY PAGE WORD FOR WORD COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL BOOK???? someone please answer its really important to me.

[yafictionfreaks]

@QueenofGaianeria I dont have a Kindle, I have a sony ereader, but they should be the same. Yes, when u buy an ebook it is exactly the same as the actual book. But on my sony ereader sometimes the book cover is just little background symbols with the title of the book and I really dont like that. Hope this helped.

[QueenofGaianeria]

@yafictionfreaks oh thank god, thank you thank you thank you!!! thanks, i was always wondering for days if its exactly like the original book, but now i know thank you kind stranger. XD

[kadosiable]

She has awfully masculine hands.

[cylinder44805]

What happens when the battery dies andyou need a new one? Ihear you have to ship your Kindle 3G to Amazon and then they send you a Kindle of the SAME model...but actually a different one...Has anyone else heard this, too?

[EscapeNewJersey]

Getting rid of the number buttons was stupid. I guess it was to hold down manufacturing costs. There looks like there is plenty of space for a row of number keys. This will make some web browsing and entering passwords a chore!

[proc5454]

go nook!! book "loaning", color touchscreen menu, micro sd card slot, removable battery, and epub file compatibility pushes the nook over the top. even though the nook gui runs a little slower than the kindle, i think the nook is the way to go. plus the nook just looks nicer...the kindle looks like a toy with the keyboard(how often would someone really use this). the nook's androird hackable os is another benefit

[DeathlyDavid]

@proc5454 you have to have another nook or device to "lend' books, none of my friends or family have nook apps. looks nicer... don't judge an ereader by its cover? im not a big computer person so i won't be hacking (its illegal) it doesnt look like a toy, and the screen is clearer. the touchscreen is nice but its laggy and eats battery and at night hurts your eyes "tried one at BN and its like itouch except laggier. the only things are removable battery (why would you need more mem than 4g?

[proc5454]

@DeathlyDavid i understand that. i have many friends and family who have nooks so lending/borrowing would come in handy. hacking the android os has many benefits that im not going to get into. how often would one use the touchscreen anyway? its built to read books, the touchscreen is just an added bonus that i like. why would i need more than 4gb? i have many family history books with embedded audio files in pdf that range from 500megs to 2 gigs. expandable memory is a great feature.

[DeathlyDavid]

@proc5454 wouldn't you need the kindle dx (which i believe NEEDs a sd card slot because its for pdfs) for all those history books? its a bit expensive but ivd tried it out from a friend (She's in college) and she has all her textbooks on it (which is cool) and her reading books and with its bigger screen helps and light weight helps alot. For the battery since we're in ebook wars now. i believe the next type of ereader will come out before the battery dies.

[proc5454]

@DeathlyDavid dont need the expensive dx, just a nook. ;)

[DeathlyDavid]

@proc5454 how can you really read a textbook on the nook of regular kindle? it has only 6 inch screen?

[PWNGEoftheGODS]

Which is better, a Kindle DX or a Kindle 3?

[Viniagrette]

Most of the people that like these things are in love with gadgets, not with reading. I can't even sit through video reviews and review articles about these things, because things like battery life, navigation, wireless internet, etc are yammered about with such technobabble pretentiousness. Newsflash: Books didn't need to be improved. All of the problems an eReader has are problems that you have created for no reason. Go to the library. Have fun.

[nanningbear]

Just wonder how its 3G browsing function works?

May I insert my own 3G sim card in Kindle from any 3G service provider and browse any website I want?

It will be a bit disappointing if this 3G function only allows me to browse Amzon website (or some other predefined web sites) only.

[jrvslam]

@nanningbear hey

if you want to buy the books over 3G is free but for the browsing the internet , i think it is thru the WiFi... i am not too sure thou...NOT TOO SURE !!! : DDD

[theemceemurdah]

I just ordered my Kindle 3, I can't wait to get it!!

[thunderpeel2001]

Tell me, Stuff.TV, what's the difference between this "review" and an advert for the Kindle? Don't say "review" and then promise a "full review" later. Very lame.

[trombone7]

I wish it didn't come with a web browser. The whole point is that you wall yourself off for an hour or two with a book you've been intending to read.

[4rcane]

@trombone7 and somehow giving you an option to browse destroys that? I'm glad they included an improved browser. I just wish it could become a true netbook as well

[trombone7]

@4rcane Yes. Web browsing is a massive time suck. I suppose you think it should stream NetFlix when and if it gets a color display.

[NocturneKing]

Good to see a video of this besides the one on amazon.com,also good to see that amazon is making them more affordable,i will be getting the wifi version asap =)

[Kindle2Wireless]

@NocturneKing It certainly is more affordable, Get your Kindle through the link on our channel to be entered into our random drawings for freebies

[RegulusPure]

I bet that kindle cover totally kills the battery life.

[Kindle2Wireless]

@RegulusPure Surprisingly it doesn't. The battery is built to last and when the wireless is turned off it lasts for a good while

[gamegirlz94]

@RegulusPure it doesnt i used it for a whole night of 12hrs and i still had over 75% of battery with the light on

[berniebay]

@RegulusPure

It only uses power to change the screen.

[androide81]

wow, it looks awesome, I'm really tempted by this, I guess the WiFi at 139 bucks will be my first ereader!

[Kindle2Wireless]

@androide81 Can't beat $139 without any monthly charges! Get your Kindle through the link on our channel to be entered into our random drawings for freebies

[etraderx11]

This is the first video for Kindle 3, other than the one by Amazon, that I was able to find so far. I really wish to compare my Kindle 2 with the new Kindle 3 side by side to see if there is that much of a difference in contrast. Also, Kindle 2 has a web browser as well and the new updated firmware has a zooming capabilities for PDF files. The K3 flash light looks interesting. I've been trying to use a clip-on light on K2, which prooved to be too much hassle and a destruction during reading.

[wcrowder1]

@etraderx11 The Kindle 3 wasn't sold out, it's not released yet. Nobody has one, and won't till September. The news articles about it being sold out was a fraud on their part.

[etraderx11]

@wcrowder1 I never said it was sold out. I kinda figured that it was some sort of marketing scam too after I saw the "sold out" message on the Amazon's site. If it was sold out, we would see a lot of people posting their vids on YouTube by now about their brand new toy and about how lucky they were to get it just in-time before they ran out of these, but that hasn't happened yet. Besides, this is not the first year Amazon is selling Kindle, they could most definitely anticipate the sales volume.

[gawtmeelk]

@wcrowder1 : you're an idiot. It was presold on Amazon's site. It releases the 27th of August, and yes, the first batch is sold out. nitwit.

[Kindle2Wireless]

@etraderx11 You can see the difference in contrast when you have both the K2 and K3 side to side. The new cover with the built-in light has been a great hit.
