The Numerous Advantages of the Kindle

Article by Judy Conway

Our world of technology grows by leaps and bounds. Every day there is another development in the computer world. Some of these inventions help us expedite our workloads while others enhance our world of entertainment.


The Kindle is one of those new items. Its usefulness would fall into both categories. Not only can you load your favorite novels, newspapers and magazines but you can also use it for work files.
Macintosh and Windows users can download and transfer through the USB connection Kindle content, personal/business documents, MP3 and Audible files. When connected to your computer’s USB port Kindle will show up as a removable mass-storage device.


The necessary system requirements are as follows:


* Windows-based: Windows 2000 or later

* Macintosh: Mac OS X 10.2 or later

* USB port: You can use an available port or an attached USB hub with an available port


The Kindle has a built-in PDF Reader. Just think about the convenience of being able to unload the loose papers in your briefcase, such as case studies, manuals, financial statements, etc and put them all on your Kindle. This would allow you to take all your papers with you and read them on the go.


Another remarkable tool on the Kindle is the “Text-to-Speech” feature. This will read (in English) your newspapers, blogs, books or magazines to you. If you get tired of listening, you can switch back and forth to reading. This is hands-free as when the Kindle is reading to you it automatically turns the pages. If you have a preference between a male or female voice you can make that choice. You can even adjust the speed at which the reader reads to you. You can use the Kindle to read your books to you if you are in your car. It is absolutely amazing all this device does!


If you are a person that finds it difficult to start your day without reading your paper you will really enjoy Kindle’s feature of having your newspapers automatically delivered wirelessly to your Kindle before they reach the news stands. Just think if you are traveling you will not have to rush out to pick up a paper. You can make your coffee in your room, or go to the restaurant for your breakfast and your paper will be waiting for you on your Kindle. Kindle has a 5-way controller allowing you to flip between articles. If you come across an article you want to save and reread later you have the option to clip and save the entire article to read it again later.


I know that when I first thought about using a Kindle I did not think it would work for me as I like to read with a highlighter and be able to make notes in the material I am reading. Kindle’s QWERTY keyboard allows you to add annotations to the text. Because it is digital you can edit, delete and export your notes. Do you ever lose your place when you are reading? This will not happen with the Kindle. It remembers where you left off and opens to the last page you read. This is a real time saver in itself!


If you enjoy audiobooks you can go to audible.com and have the option to download from an inventory of 50,000 titles for a three month trial cost of .95 a month. If you decide to stay with this service the cost increases to .95 per month after that. I personally enjoy audiobooks when I am spending long intervals working on the computer. You will never be at a loss for reading material.


Kindle has a high-resolution screen that boasts 16 shades of gray giving you sharp images and photos.


The Kindle DX with a 9.7″ diagonal E-link® is 10.4″ x 7.2″ x 0.38″ and will hold 3,500 books. The smaller version, the regular Kindle has a 6″ diagonal E-link® and is 8″ x 5.3″ x 0.36″ and holds 1,500 books. With this type of storage you can clearly see how it will lighten your load when traveling.


Your biggest decision is to decide whether you want to purchase the Kindle DX for 9.00 or the first Kindle that sells for 9.00.

Kindle Web Browsing: How It Works and How You Can Get Web Access on the Kindle for Free

March 7, 2011 By jctheinf Leave a Comment

Article by Cameron Connery

You might already know that the Kindle 3G comes with free Internet, but do you know how the Kindle web browsing works? Find out more about the Kindle’s web browsing abilities and how to get free Internet when you buy the 3G-enabled Kindle.
The Amazon Kindle 3G + Wifi comes with a lot of features, but perhaps one of its most notable upgrades from previous versions is the Kindle web browsing feature. This is what takes the Kindle 3G from your average e-book reader to a multi-tasking companion – all without a monthly contract.
The Webkit
The Amazon Kindle uses the Webkit browser for browsing. Kindle web browsing basically works just like any other browser, except get this – it’s all in black and white.
Now that might sound archaic, but it’s not. There are several reasons why black and white makes for great Kindle web browsing:
1. Lightning fast loading speeds: No waiting ages for the pages you want to finally load.
2. Easier reading: The Kindle already is native to the whole black and white thing, so the display looks very natural in this color. Kind of gives you the feeling of reading an upscale newspaper.
3. No compatibility issues: You won’t constantly get messages saying the page cannot be displayed because of the device you’re using.
Kindle Web Browsing for Free
You might have heard that the Amazon Kindle 3G allows free web browsing. If so, you’ve heard correctly. With the Kindle 3G + Wifi model, you get free browsing on your Kindle anywhere in the world – or at least anywhere near a GSM network.
Here’s how it works: Amazon gives you free 3G Wifi using AT&T’s worldwide GSM network. Thus, wherever you have an AT&T signal, you’ll also get free Wifi.
Additionally, if you are near a Wifi hotspot, like at Starbuck’s or something, you can hook into their free Wifi as well so you don’t have to worry about a good signal from an AT&T tower.
Plus, you never need a contract, since you’re not actually paying for service. Amazon pays for the service, so that’s how they offer it.
The only time Amazon would charge you is if you were to download materials on the 3G network – and not on the Wifi-only network. If you downloaded new subscriptions or new e-books for your Kindle, then you would get charged, but it would only be a small fee, and it wouldn’t at all affect the “freeness” of your free Kindle web browsing.
How Reliable is Kindle Web Browsing?
Browsing for the Kindle is just as reliable as it would be on an iPhone or an Apple iPad. Only, instead of paying 0-0 plus a monthly service contract, you’re paying less than 0 for a lifetime of free Internet plus an e-book reader.
Kindle web browsing on the Wifi network is as reliable as whatever Wifi network you’re on. If you’re on a home Wifi network that has a little traffic, it might be more reliable than at a Starbuck’s with more traffic. But everything pretty much depends on the network you’re using, not on the Kindle itself.

About the Author

There’s one more thing you should know about Kindle web browsing, but since I didn’t have room to write it all here, I’d like to invite you to read about it at http://www.squidoo.com/3g-kindle. But hurry – Amazon might not keep up this great offer forever!
