A month with my Kindle (love, despite its problems) just a ago
month I have my Kindle and every day I like best.
The truth is that I bought
possibly for the wrong reasons. I thought I would be able to read my files in PDF format
, although in effect
Kindle natively supports PDF documents and generally shows
perfectly (I tested including some protected by password), the screen 6 inches is too small to be of much use with this kind of files. Read, you can read, but is not comfortable. Disillusioned process a return on Kindle
two hours of unpacking
. Amazon
accepted the return without any problems (the customer service of Amazon
is great). Finally I decided to give a second attempt, this time using the books in the native format of the pileup, Mobi
, and I'm very, very happy with the
aparatejo .
(For a discussion of PDFs Juan Francisco Cantero rightly indicates "To read PDFs best tablets are now selling cheap android (below 300 €). course other option is kindle big or ipad , but price will if only to be used for that. The PDFs technical book is best read without turning, are too complex ")
A major discovery has been the application Instapaper, a true wonder discovered through my friends
Reader Juan Luis Chulilla and Dubit, which allows building a book / magazine based on checking off items,
posts and Wikipedia entries
and then download a file in
mobi that can be read offline
quietly . I love how well formatted
displayed items, and so comfortable navigation interface to be mounted. And only by Instapaper
worth catching the Kindle
... But there's more! Take a simple browser that, once caught the trick, one can manage the Internet, player
MP 3 or even a text to audio converter which has its charms. The battery lasts a lot in the street in broad daylight, the screen looks perfectly
and a 6''can take it up in your pocket (OK, better in the jacket: - )
The software has its flaws (I do not know to what extent is my fault for 1500 books put him to the junk at once). The case is that it tends to hang quite often when doing searches (which generally take one's own) and especially to highlight paragraphs. To bounce the Kindle
slipped just hold the power button for 15 seconds. But overall
experience is exceptional. There is nothing comparable to the ink-e (and I've swallowed mine on my late
Toshiba Satellite). This is the future of books, I have no doubt.
So if Amazon
fixes bugs
software (or clearly indicates the limits of acceptable use), if they receive a better way to organize books by folders (today only allow one kind of labeling which is a bummer) and to note if you can tune it
if only a little (I'd put my own
screensaver without having to resort to jailbreaks
and lobotomies
several really do not feel like anything I do for my beautiful K3) the Kindle
going to be unbeatable. Especially for 150 euros, which is what comes to cost with shipping, customs and others.
The question that follows ... How
hypothetically one could fill his Kindle books? My dearest
Julia very well have answered this question . Hypothetically
the thing would go a
site torrents (or Google) and search for ebooks
, adding perhaps "
kindle" or "mobi
" reached the point where
hypothetically one can choose Download torrent
to what (and this is nothing hypothetical) will need a software program to process the torrent
(
utorrent apparently doing very well). Come here, you're in no man's land. I can only recommend the very thorough information. There are risks. Should be cautious and use common sense on these fronts. A book weighs 650 MB
, it has the extension. Exe
, does not involve passing a scan
"free" the hard drive etc etc etc ...
In English, no streams or milk, I recommend visiting the
Wikiteca , and now contentious issues aside there is a huge range of ebooks
freely available in English and English (and Mandarin Chinese) that come between the chest and back classics to
cascoporro :
Some
ejemplillos of curious books: Cartoon Art
,
Amusements in Math, Science
General ,
Physics For Entertainment ... To organize the digital library there is nothing better than Calibre (
http://calibre-ebook.com ), which integrates all types of converters and has a function to create documents in a magazine format with hundreds of news sites
online.
Anyway, that ink-e has to be seen. Without doubt, the best buys I've made.
This post is an elaboration of my assessment
for Amazon Kindle . Read more recommend Ink-e.blogspot.com

Juan Luis Chulilla , the best blog on the electronic ink. Here
explain very well how electronic ink. The following articles are about the eBook and its meaning and impact in the industry:
