the difference between the wifi and the 3G and wifi is that with the 3G+wifi, u can go on the internet in the street, but with wifi, u can go in ur house or mcdonalds for example, im only getting the wifi model because its like £50 cheaper :) hope it helped
@EmortalDragon416 my mom has the nook, I have tons of friends that have the kindle... the kindle is wayyyyyyy!! better inmy opinion. More light weight and stuff better for someone who is impatient. If you want a slow touchscreen stupid handheld thing, get the nook:) ehhe
i dont get the "not as small as a paper back book comment" its thinner than a pencil, i mean what books have that few pages? looks similar in height and width too. im getting one, sick of the ipads glare factor outside.
@robbyg555 Just know that if you dont have wifi near you ur kindle would be useless just like mine is right now. Ima go change mine to a 3G one. (is worth paying 15 bucks a month cuz u get signal EVERYWHERE you go.
@robbyg555 Well i went to buy mine at Best Buy. They told me i had to pay 15 bucks a month but for 3G but so far nothing has notified me that i have to pay anything. I have the 3G one now and it works perfectly fine. I will have to wait to see if i really do have to pay every month (which amazon says that we don't have to)
@heartsMuzikhearts oh ok thats cool, good thing you got the 3g but did u get the cover for the kindle, cause if you didnt, i got a premium leather case, lcd screen protector, headphones, backup usb, charger, car charger, all for 16 dollars believe it or not, and i think its a bargain, maybe you should check it out but i think its great. you can get it on amazon and its called crazyondigital kindle 3g 3rd generation accessory kit . my comp froze when i tried to post link so sorry bout that
good point, because saving a few seconds on downloading a book really makes a difference. It is not like you will spend hours to days reading that very book. In the meantime, reading for hours on the iPad really is stressfull for your eyes, while my new Kindle it is... NOT.
So, why did you buy that blown-up iPhone again? Btw, there are tablet pcs around that can do so much more than what the iPad can do... starting at around 700$.
Why would you have to justify buying the kindle, I have an iPad and I REALLY want a kindle, I hate reading on the iPad, and I love tech stuff and books don't get that for me, so that's where the kindle comes in,
Your video really makes the new kindle 3 stand out in your size comparison with the kindle 2. I have recently got into reading ebooks on my android phone with the kindle app and while I am enjoying it, reading on my phone kills my phones battery so fast. I love reading while I'm out on the lake and I think the kindle 3 wifi only version would be perfect for me. I get a lot of epub books that I convert to mobi and read them on my phone. Wonder can I transfer them to the kindle?
I'm definitely getting this but don't know if I want the Wifi only version or the one with 3G and wifi.
Like what benefits are there to 3G?? I don't think I'll be buying books outside of my house anyway. And I have a blackberry for most of my browsing or quick searching of stuff.
@Canadarm123 I'm only going to get the 3G cuz I want it in white :) So yeah, it's $50 more but totally worth it. If I get it in Graphite people might think it's a Sony Reader which is so ghetto, lol.
Larry the voice you used at the beginning cracked me up. For those hating on the Kindle, while it may not have a color screen, utilize a super fast processor, or have an Apple logo it can still serve a purpose for heavy book readers looking for something budget friendly.
I think that this video made up my mind on whether or not to get a Kindle. I don't read a lot of books, but if I had some sort of gadget to read books on (like the Kindle), I'd probably read more. iBooks on my iPhone 4 is nice, but isn't really a natural reading experience. I'll order this Kindle next week. Thanks for the video.
@acidsyringe69 Yeah but would you go around carrying all of those books at one time all the time.... probably not.... but you can do that with the kindle :)
hey larry, when you get the chance, can you interact with the web browsing and give an opinion on the Kindle 3's performance? i'm interested in its ability/ease of use as regards very basic functions: email, blogging, mobile banking, etc. (obviously this would include very personal information, and thus I'm not requesting a video, but merely a comment regarding these functions). Thanks!
Books load faster.
