Amazon kindle review
(Kindle version 2)There are literally hundreds if not thousands of people out there that have written their own personal Amazon Kindle reviews. Find some at libros electronicos. But, there are some people that truly do not understand the magnitude of this new innovative device (it's current stage in development and how fast it's market is growing) and there are some that do. While reading these reviews, it becomes very clear which category people fall in. To put it in another perspective, I work at top well-known investment research firm and without getting into too many specifics, lets just say we are very bullish on AMZN stock most specifically because of the huge potential of the Amazon Kindle in the emerging e-reader market. No I am not trying to give investment advice (thats not part my job) but I just want to make it very clear how excited I am about the product and its market in general.
Prior to Amazon Kindle announcement
In the few weeks prior to the announcement of the Amazon Kindle, you couldn't turn a virtual corner without stumbling over alleged rumors and "insider" information regarding the new innovative device. Last month, having played with my boss's Amazon Kindle at the office, I found myself in absolute lust for this gadget. Before I decided to order the Amazon Kindle 2 as Christmas gift for myself;), I reviewed, reviewed, and REVIEWED several Amazon Kindle 2 websites, articles, and reviews. This is my personal take / response to some of those good and bad reviews.
Kindle 3 is wery cheap
But the Amazon Kindle 2 were not cheap! First of all, let's not beat around the bush; I certainly wanted to know how much I was in for right away! As is the case for all other new / "hot" items, such as the iPhone 3Gs, Playstation 3, and LCD tv's, (which were originally priced for hundreds more than the Amazon Kindle 2), the Kindle 2 is priced a little on the high end. Currently, the Amazon Kindle 2 is on sale for $259. Recently, Amazon's CEO announced an "amazing" deal for Kindle 1 owners at a press conference: If they ordered within the next 24 hours, they could jump to the front of the line for pre-orders! There wasn't even a discount offered, just the "privilege" of spending $259 quicker than non-existing Amazon Kindle 1 owners. What a great deal huh?? Later though, I considered some other factors. Relative to purchasing new books and best sellers on a regular basis, the Amazon Kindle 2 really isn't that expensive. Have you looked at the price of new books lately?? They can be pretty expensive themselves, especially at big name stores like Barnes and Noble and Borders. Even online at Amazon, you'll pay $50 for the Twilight Saga Collection and $15 for Sarah Palin's new book (not that I would want to read her book anyway but you get the point!). Most e-books are $9.99 or less. Over the long-run, especially if you are enthusiastic book reader like me, the Amazon Kindle 2 is essential.
What did kindle look like?
According to its creators, the key design objective was to make the Amazon Kindle 2 "disappear". When we read a good book, we tend to get so immersed into the author's world / story that the physical book eventually disappears. The thinking behind the Kindle was to make sure we are still able to get lost in the reading, not the technology. The Kindle 2 has a black-and-white 6" screen and uses electronic-ink display technology: the screen displays ink particles electronically to make it look like real books, newspapers, magazines, etc. As aforementioned, I sit on my butt all day in an office in front of a computer screen. During my lunch breaks and when I get home, the LAST thing I want to do is look at a computer screen!! However, I actually found that the Kindle's screen has a pretty soothing contrast and looks like a real page. Also, the Kindle 2 does not use backlighting which eliminates glares for daytime / outdoor reading.
The Kindle also has six adjustable font sizes and utilizes 16 shades of gray. So when your eyes get tired or if you have a book that has small font, you can make it bigger on the Kindle screen. Compared to the first version, the Amazon Kindle 2 is MUCH slimmer and more refined. It is about 1/3 of an inch in profile and weighs 10.2 ounces. That's about the size of most magazines, only this gadget can hold up to 1,500 books in one!
